Chapter 57 : Alchemy Master, This Was Only A Hobby 1 (2/2)

If this was a different disciple, having just heard the elder wanting to take them in as a disciple, they would naturally be extremely excited; they would wish that they could immediately kowtow on the spot to formally become a disciple to the elder, but Li Qi Ye was acting unimpressed.

Li Qi Ye smiled, and he said:

“Thank you, elder, for your support, but the Dao of alchemy is only a hobby of mine.”

Li Qi Ye’s words silenced Elder Sun. Black lines appeared on his forehead. If this was someone else, they would definitely think Li Qi Ye was being arrogant; however, at this moment, Elder Sun didn’t have this thought. In his heart, Elder Sun was crazy because Li Qi Ye was wasting his aptitude![2]

Elder Sun was truly enraged; he actually wanted to go on a rampage, but he still calmed himself down. In the end, he said in a very lovingly manner:

“You can think about this carefully again; if one day you change your mind, you can find me at any time.”

Regarding the good intentions of Elder Sun, Li Qi Ye could only smile back. Seeing Li Qi Ye’s attitude, Elder Sun could only sigh as he left.

In reality, Elder Sun’s hope didn’t die. Not a few days had passed, Protector Mo also appeared at the Lonely Peak. After his arrival and seeing Li Qi Ye, he opened his mouth and only stutterings came out. He wanted to speak but couldn’t. After half a day, he couldn’t say anything.

“Elder Sun wants you to convince me to practice the Dao of alchemy, right?”

Facing Protector’s Mo hesitated speech, Li Qi Ye was aware; he smiled as he said.

Protector Mo was a little embarrassed; he awkwardly smiled and had to say:

“My master indeed has this thought. Although, whether to practice or to not practice, in the end, it is still up to you. No one dares to force the matter.”

In fact, Protector Mo’s heart was clear that Li Qi Ye was a headstrong person, with his own path. He just didn’t have a choice to reject his master’s request.

“The Dao of alchemy is only a hobby to me; if I have time, I will think about it a little bit.”

Li Qi Ye smiled, and he said.

Regarding this result, Protector Mo was mentally prepared; thus, he didn’t try to convince Li Qi Ye, and he went to report to his master.

With the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. The three hundred disciples in the Cleansing Jade Peak didn’t require a lot of Li Qi Ye’s attention. Li Qi Ye had also reached the grand completion of the Yun Physique rank, he was now at the Body Strengthening stage. He was ready to breakthrough to the third level of Yun Physique, Body Baptism!

This baptism, to cultivators, was extremely important. This was especially true for the geniuses with Xiantian Physiques and Emperor Physiques; this level was even more crucial.

This level was an opportunity for all cultivators to mold their bodies for the first time! Body Baptism was not only based on cultivation; in order to mold one’s physique, the more crucial matter was the Physique paste!

Of course, for cultivators in terms of principle, the higher the Physique paste ranking was, the better it was for the body molding. However, within the process of cultivation, there were various restrictions.

As an example, one Xiantian Physique, for its first body molding, a Xiantian Physique paste would be the best. First, it would be easy to absorb the essence of the paste; second, because it was the first body molding, having the same rank of Physique paste as your own Physique was the most suitable.

In reality, within the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, at this rank, the majority of disciples during their first body molding did not have a choice; they could only choose a Houtian Physique paste.

The reason was simple, because no one had a different option. The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was declining; regarding the matter of materials, it was highly limited. The disciples that could use a Xiantian Physique paste were the direct disciples of the elders!

Li Qi Ye pondered for a moment. The time he wanted the Physique paste was soon approaching, so he went to find the first elder.

In fact, he could have used the Physique paste earlier; however, because he wanted to stabilize the Yin Yang blood energy inside his Life Wheel, he pushed the matter of the Physique paste back.

Hearing Li Qi Ye’s intention, the first elder couldn’t help but be surprised. He looked at Li Qi Ye, and he asked:

“You have reached the Body Baptism level of the Yun Physique rank?”

He calculated the time with his fingers. Li Qi Ye joining the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and his start of cultivation have not reached a year, but he had already reached the Yun Physique rank, at the level of Body Baptism.

With this kind of achievement, in any sect, he would be considered a genius. One has to know, Li Qi Ye had a Mortal Physique, Mortal Life Wheel, and Mortal Fate Palace. This was an impossible matter.

This, when First Elder responded, he looked at Li Qi Ye again; he asked:

“You practiced the Revolving Crescent Sun Merit Law?”
