LAUDANUM

CHAPTER 501 - GOOD INTENTIONS

He had originally set his target on the Black Dragon and decided to help that person tame the Black Dragon during the Inner Academy Competition. At that time, they had already secretly planned not to let Fang Li and the other three advance in the inner courtyard's competition.

It is only within the Cloud Peak Academy that we would have the chance to use words to determine the victor. If we were outside, we would have to wait for the opportunity to see who would be the victor. Hmph. Tuoba Yuan couldn't tolerate it any longer, so he said in the end with a cold tone, Now you guys have a chance to celebrate in the inner courtyard's preliminaries. I hope you guys still have the mood to celebrate in the inner courtyard's competition one year from now.

Don't worry about it. The Black Dragon said in a casual tone.

Hmph. Tuoba Yuan couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately got up and bid farewell to the people at his table.

In this sort of situation, even if Tuoba Yuan were to stay for a second longer, it would still be a form of torture.

The other two knew that Tuoba Yuan had lost face and felt infuriated. Normally, the two of them followed his lead and left while also bidding farewell to the woman at the same table.

This woman, who had been watching indifferently from the start, nodded her head in response. He then looked at Fang Li's table. To be exact, he glanced at Fang Li and Black Dragon. At this moment, this girl had two people she was interested in.

There was no need to even mention the Black Dragon. Tuoba Yuan was proud and had never paid attention to the situation of the outer court disciples. As long as the other party didn't enter the inner court, the Cloud Platform disciples and himself were from two different worlds, so there was no need to pay attention to them. As a result, when he paid close attention to the Black Dragon, he discovered that the Black Dragon truly had a pure dragon bloodline.

As for this girl, she was Fang Li and the others, who had already shown off their brilliance during the preliminaries.

The Black Dragon had long since reached the point where everyone in the outer court knew of it. Its personality was such that the Black Dragon was usually very heroic and recognized many as its little brothers.

This woman had been watching the Black Dragon for quite some time now.

Forget about others, just the identity of a dragon was still rare. A person with a cultivation below the seventh stage who was able to come to the Immortal Profound Continent was indeed worth paying attention to.

She quietly sat in her seat. This beautiful lady who could be described as devastatingly beautiful stood up and walked towards Fang Li and the others.

Junior is really surprising. Not only is his battle prowess unparalleled, his talent in the Dao of Alchemy is also so outstanding that I can't help but admire him. This woman's timely words did not make anyone feel that it was sudden, but combined with her perfect appearance and words of praise, it made it even easier for people to have a good impression of her.

Fang Li and this girl did not have any grudges between them. At the very least, from the perspective of admiration, Fang Li really liked the temperament this woman displayed. He replied with a smile on his face. Senior is too polite, it's just that I am someone who cannot afford to be wronged, which is why I have this dispute today. "

Hehe. The woman covered her mouth and laughed lightly, It's quite rare for a core disciple of the Tuoba family to be so angry that he has nowhere to vent his anger on. It's been many years since a disciple from the Martial Immortal School appeared. "

This time, what Tuoba Yuan said before he left was not empty talk. Even if there was no conflict between them this time around, just this Brother Long alone if he wanted to enter the inner courtyard, he would indeed be obstructed by the Tuoba family in the inner courtyard's competition a year later.

In addition to the grudge this time around, it is likely that everyone will have a much more difficult time competing in the Inner Academy one year from now.

The tone of her voice was not serious, but it caused Fang Li and the others to be convinced. They believed that this woman was not exaggerating at all.

Thank you for the advice, senior. Fang Li replied with a smile.

Looking at you, you seem very confident. Maybe I overthought it. The girl did not pay any attention to Fang Li's answer. Based on the woman's experience in judging people from their looks, this definitely wasn't a fraud.

In terms of battle power, Tuoba Yuan is not as bad as he was in this dispute. The woman said again, I won't disturb your meal any longer.

After he finished speaking, he didn't stop at all. His footsteps became like lotuses with each step as he left with a fragrant wind.

Fang Li glanced at the woman's back, his brow furrowed.

Leaving just like that?

From Fang Li's point of view, Fang Li probably had some motive for taking the initiative to approach him and speak to him. After all, Fang Li was not narcissistic enough to take the initiative to attract such a woman just by looking at her.

This woman was clearly a disciple of the Inner Academy. Moreover, based on her perfect complexion, there were naturally many people who pursued her.

These words were like a greeting, like a dragonfly touching the water, and Fang Li could not feel it at all.

If he had to say there was, it would be reminding them that Tuoba Yuan was not simple. Furthermore, he would do something in the inner courtyard's competition one year later.

But why did this woman do so?

It doesn't make any sense at all? No matter how amazing Fang Li's performance was, when compared to the Tuoba family, he was like an ant.

Regardless of whether it was his talent in the Martial Dao or his talent in the Pill Dao, none of them were enough for an ordinary person to choose him over the Tuoba family.

When this woman expressed her goodwill towards Fang Li, Tuoba Yuan would definitely feel displeased when her words reached his ears in the future.

Taking such a risk and talking to him was just giving him some advice and leaving him with a good impression?

Fang Li found it hard to understand.

The Black Dragon closed its eyes in a rarely seen fashion. After the woman had walked far away, it tried its best to sniff the air. After sniffing the fragrance the woman gave when she left, it couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. It really is a top quality item. "

Shh! When Bing Yan Chen heard the Black Dragon's words, he immediately spoke up to stop her. Then, he looked around to make sure that no one was listening in on the Black Dragon's comments, and said, Be careful with your words, this woman is not simple at all. She had too much influence within the Cloud Sky Academy. The number of people chasing after her probably exceeds half of the disciples in the entire Cloud Peak Academy.

Holy shit, it's that exaggerated? Mu Tianyang said.

It's not exaggerated at all. The publicly acknowledged Divine Maiden of Cloud's End Academy is also the royal daughter of one of the seven great empires. His status and appearance. He deserves so many suitors." Bai Qing also said.

Royal daughter, from the seven empires. Fang Li muttered to himself.

Today, she took the initiative to remind us. It is truly rare. Normally, this woman rarely approaches others on her own accord, but she isn't a complete ice-beauty. If someone invites her, she would accept most of the times. I believe that Tuoba Yuan is able to eat with this woman today. In terms of status and identity, Tuoba Yuan truly does not have the qualifications to invite her. Bing Xingchen said.

Is Tuoba Yuan a core disciple of the Tuoba family? You said that Tuoba Yuan is not qualified as well?" Fang Li smiled as he spoke. Fang Li clearly remembered the fear that Bing Xingchen, Mu Tianyang, and Bai Qing had towards Tuoba Yuan.

Furthermore, the core disciples of the Tuoba Family were indeed of great importance in the Immortal Profound Continent. It was said that no one was worthy of being a member of the Tuoba family. It was truly out of Fang Li's expectations.

CHAPTER 502 - BAI QING BING QING?

On the surface, the great powers of the Profound Immortal Continent are the thirty-six pavilions, twelve sects, six halls, and three families. There was nothing wrong with that, and the three families had indeed surpassed the other forces. It can also be said that although the thirty-six pavilions, twelve sects, and six halls may not differ much from each other, the difference between them and the three families is like the difference between heaven and earth.

After all, among all the major powers, only the three families have a Heaven Tier cultivation technique. As for Earth Grade cultivation techniques, there were far more. Regardless of whether it was the 36 pavilions or the 6 halls, they all had several types of earth-step cultivation techniques. This is also the reason why, in addition to the Three Great Families, the gap between the other big powers is not that big.

And other than these factions on the surface. Right now, our Cloud Break Academy and the other two academies are only second to the three great families.

These powers that aren't interested in fighting for the position of warrior definitely don't only have the three great academies. These powers can be divided into seven empires, three academies, a merchant guild, and a Pill Assembly."

These forces are in no way weaker than the martial arts sects of the thirty-six pavilions and twelve sects that were mentioned earlier. It was only because the competition between the martial forces was not obvious. that's why we don't rank them among the most pure of sects.

The Seven Great Empires are the empires that are divided evenly across the entire Immortal Profound Continent. Because there were so many resources, there were many top martial artists that ruled over the mortal world. Furthermore, the seven empires had placed more of their attention on the common forces in the entire Immortal Profound Continent than on the martial artists. They couldn't be considered a pure sect influence, so they didn't enter the ranks of martial artists. However, it was hard to imagine their true national potential. Even if it was one of the three great families. Even a bit of them would be afraid."

As for the woman before, she is the only son of the current Emperor, Ming Xueruo, from the Warring States Royal Family of the Seven Great Empires. How could Tuoba Yuan possibly be able to compare with someone like him?

"In terms of status, even if it's the Tuoba Family, they would be able to match up well to them. There were only a few. Tuoba Yuan was not the most outstanding person among the current generation in the Tuoba family.

When Bai Qing mentioned Ming Xueruo, he seemed a little excited, and explained a lot of details on his own.

Even though Bai Qing's words made Fang Li understand the current situation of the various powers in the Immortal Profound Continent even more clearly. But what was even more attracting to Fang Li was that when Bai Qing mentioned the seven empires, he had an unusual feeling.

At this moment, after Bai Qing finished speaking, he raised his head and took a large gulp of wine. His expression was somewhat lonely, causing Fang Li's curiosity to increase even more.

Could it be that Bai Qing's past was related to the seven empires?

Brother Bai, thank you for telling me. Fang Li toasted Bai Qing before saying, Currently, among the five of us, I come from the Martial Immortal School. The Black Dragon is a member of the pure dragon bloodline, and the Frozen Flames Brothers are Sword Faction disciples. Brother Mu is a disciple of the Wood Palace. And I still don't know what kind of strength Brother Bai is capable of. I'm really curious."

Me? Bai Qing was stunned as she replied, The current me is from no sect.

After Bai Qing said this, his expression became even more desolate.

Senior brother, why must you do this … Bing Xingchen said.

However, it was rudely interrupted by Bai Qing. Stop talking.

Fang Li's curiosity became even greater. Did this Ice Flame Dust mean that Bai Qing was related to the sword faction?

However, Bai Qing also said that he was from no sect. What was going on?

Brother Bai, if we are brothers, say what you have to say. Don't keep it in your heart by yourself. Fang Li said.

It's nothing, I'm just an abandoned disciple of the sword faction. After saying this, Bai Qing once again silently filled her cup, and silently drank.

The sword faction abandoned a disciple! At this moment, not only Fang Li, but even Black Dragon and Mu Tianyang were startled.

With the talent Bai Qing displayed today, he was actually the abandoned disciple of the sword faction?

It was also at this moment that the crowd recalled the time when the Ice Flame Dust and Bai Qing had erupted during the preliminaries. The styles of the two sword gleams were so similar. It really wasn't a coincidence.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the dining table was a little heavy. Bai Qing bitterly laughed, Let's not talk about the past. Now that we are celebrating the victories of the preliminaries, why are we talking about all this nonsense? Come and drink.

Fang Li and the others knew that since Bai Qing did not want to say it, there was definitely another secret. Their relationship was a friendship forged through battle. Although they hadn't known each other for long, their friendship was definitely extraordinary. There was no need for him to get to the bottom of this. When Bai Qing wanted to say it, she would naturally say it.

The Black Dragon's personality was the most outrageous. Following Bai Qing's words, it continued to wolf down its food. The little beast was eating with all its might.

Of the two, one was of the dragon race and the other was a certain type of magical beast. Their appetite was far greater than that of humans.

The dishes on the table were not ordinary. They were filled with all kinds of energy. Just like a great tonic, if one acquired too much within a short period of time, it would also cause damage to the body. If not for this reason. Perhaps, in this short period of time, the Black Dragon and the little beast had eaten all of the dishes on the table.

It had to be said that although the dishes of the Skyfall Restaurant were expensive, they were indeed vastly different from the ordinary dishes of the restaurant outside. Not only was the taste unique, every dish was extraordinary. Rather than calling it a dish, it was more like a great tonic. Thus, even though it was expensive, it was able to attract fixed martial artists to this place.

The little beast and the black dragon had been eating with their heads lowered. At present, almost half of their bodies were inside the two men's stomachs.

At this moment, Fang Li, Bing Yan Chen and the others had just realized that if they didn't try out this dish now, they wouldn't be able to eat it normally. They were almost all eaten up by these two.

In an instant, under intentionally or unintentionally, the question of Bai Qing's background was tossed out of the minds of the crowd, and the mood and state of celebration gradually returned. Everyone was enjoying their meal.

As for Bai Qing, he drank the most. He was slowly starting to run out of steam.

Everyone could tell from this meal that Bai Qing ate very happily. This sort of happiness far surpassed the excitement of the top ten of the preliminaries.

No matter what happened to Bai Qing. But since he had personally said that the sword faction had abandoned his disciple, there must be something between him and the sword faction that made Bai Qing very uncomfortable.

And this matter might even have something to do with one of the seven empires. That was why Bai Qing was so excited when he mentioned the seven empires.

More than two hours later, Bai Qing collapsed onto the dining table, drunk.

At this moment, Mu Tianyang's curiosity could no longer be suppressed. He was struggling to hold onto the Icy Blaze as he brought up once again the matter of Bai Qing abandoning the Sword Faction's disciple.

As a disciple of the sword sect. Not only that, he was one of the strongest disciples in the sword faction's generation.

CHAPTER 503 - INTENT

Now, Bai Qing had fallen drunk. When Mu Tian Yang asked about this, Bing Yan Chen felt very regretful. They said a few words.

Bai Qing's original name was Bing Qing. He was the most favored disciple of this generation in the sword faction. It even surpassed the Ice Flame Dust itself. And this kind of disciple that everyone from the sword faction thought highly of, was indirectly because of one of the seven empires. He chose to leave the sword faction.

He, who had taken the initiative to leave the sword faction, had changed his name to Bai Qing. These continuous actions had angered countless sword faction seniors.

These seniors were divided into two factions. One faction felt that this matter wasn't worth a genius disciple like Bai Qing walking to the point of leaving the sword faction.

The other faction was of the opinion that Bai Qing's actions were intolerable, and they even advocated crippling Bai Qing's cultivation when he left the sword faction. He really wanted to get Bai Qing removed from the sword faction.

However, people like the latter belonged to the minority. Whereas the former took Bai Qing's actions to be like that of a child, believing that Bai Qing would return once she thought things through.

Therefore, this matter had been delayed.

And this so-called abandonment of a disciple by the sword faction, was currently not acknowledged within the sword faction.

As a result, in the eyes of others, Bai Qing was still a disciple of the sword faction.

Bing Yan Chen talked for a long time. It was obvious that he had drunk too much, and that his tongue was a little lacklustre.

However, when the crowd asked about what was going on, Bing Xingchen never spoke of it.

In the end, everyone drank quite a bit of this meal. With the full strength of the small beast and the black dragon, most of the dishes on the table were not wasted.

After this meal, the little beast once again fell into a deep sleep. Fang Li and the others all returned to their respective residences.

The next day. The sun was high.

Fang Li was woken up by the Black Dragon while he was sleeping.

One had to say, he'd had a drink yesterday. This was also the rare case of Fang Li getting drunk over the years.

In the Immortal Profound Continent, in the Cloud Break Academy, there was not much to think about, nor was there the heavy pressure of being unable to let go. Indeed, it had caused a slight change in Fang Li's state of mind.

If this was in the past, Fang Li would never have allowed himself to get drunk like this.

Currently, within the Cloud Break Academy's outer courtyard, the names of Fang Li, Black Dragon, and the others had long since spread.

The Black Dragon had gone looking for Fang Li precisely because it wanted Fang Li to take him in more. Little brother.

However, Fang Li rejected him immediately.

This so-called taking in little brother. It was just a bunch of people behind him flattering him nonstop. The Black Dragon was clearly enjoying this lifestyle, not getting tired of it.

Due to his identity as a dragon, he had previously received quite a few subordinates in the Cloud Break Academy.

And for the preliminaries to shine so brilliantly, there were naturally even more people flattering the Black Dragon. This plan of taking in his little brother became much easier.

However, Fang Li did not feel this kind of flattery was anything to be happy about. In other words, when Fang Li was still in the Yuan Lu Country, he had experienced such a scene of being praised by everyone.

Fang Li did not like this kind of situation. In other words, he didn't like the fact that the pressure would be even heavier when a situation like this occurred.

Naturally, he would not do this sort of thing with the Black Dragon. In Fang Li's eyes, it was meaningless.

Fang Li did not accompany them, but to the Black Dragon, his enthusiasm was undiminished. Ye Zichen left happily.

After the Black Dragon left, Fang Li pondered over what he should do this year.

First of all, he had to participate in the inner courtyard competition one year from now. It was best if he succeeded on his first try. Otherwise, he would have to wait a long time for him to enter the inner courtyard.

During the preliminaries, Fang Li had already discovered that his cultivation level was truly rather low. Although his battle prowess was not bad, his low cultivation realm allowed Fang Li to not continuously unleash his strongest battle prowess in battle.

During the final stage of the preliminaries, what Fang Li did was extremely shocking. However, if that was not the final battle, then Fang Li would not have much combat strength in the next three to four days. This was the disadvantage of having a low cultivation base. Currently, Fang Li was relying on the strength of his cultivation technique. When he exploded out with extremely strong battle prowess, he also displayed the disadvantage of not being able to fight for long periods of time.

Fang Li used a method that did not require the consumption of potential in his body to fight, and his current combat prowess was equivalent to that of a peak Sixth Order disciple from an ordinary faction.

This kind of strength indeed wasn't too strong.

The Inner Academy's Preliminaries were clearly much more difficult to complete than the preliminaries. During this year, Fang Li already had some ideas of his own.

At the very least, he wouldn't be able to wholeheartedly immerse himself in the dao of alchemy for the past year.

When he mentioned refining pills, Fang Li could not help but recall the problem that had been bothering him previously.

Why hadn't the success rate of this grade-3 pill increased? He had already refined dozens of Grade 3 pills. Logically speaking, even if one wasn't able to meet the requirements for the third rank alchemist examination, it should still be able to increase the success rate by quite a lot.

However, there was no improvement at all.

Last year, during the first half of the year, Fang Li would go listen to the lectures of all the high level alchemists. And in the second half of the year, he was practically no longer listening to anyone's classes.

This was because Fang Li discovered that the lectures on major alchemy matters were in fact not as detailed as the ones given to him by the azure-dressed woman.

So he didn't waste any more time listening to the lecture.

And now, the failure rate of these grade three medicinal pills was extremely high. I haven't seen any improvement. There was no corresponding description to describe the grand ceremony of the Dao of alchemy. This time, Fang Li prepared to clarify this issue.

At least something had gone wrong, to be clear. This point was Fang Li's personality.

As for the following year, Fang Li would naturally lean towards the latter in terms of his cultivation of the Pill Dao and Martial Dao.

After making his plans, Fang Li packed his things and headed straight for Xu Ran's residence.

Xu Ran had once said that as long as Fang Li had any questions regarding the Dao of alchemy, he could come and find him at any time.

An hour later, Fang Li arrived at Xu Ran's residence.

Today, Xu Ran didn't start classes. He was in his room, preparing to start concocting pills. Fang Li's arrival caused Xu Ran to be slightly surprised. He then revealed a satisfied smile.

Brat, you are truly amazing! Xu Ran smiled as he looked at Fang Li, causing Fang Li to feel slightly embarrassed.

Over the past half year, Fang Li had practically never visited Xu Ran. Now that he had some questions, he came to visit Xu Ran. He had always felt that Xu Ran was being a little presumptuous and was afraid that he might be unhappy.

And Xu Ran's attitude was obviously not what Fang Li thought it would be.

As for the amazing things that Xu Ran said, it was naturally not about the Pill Dao. Rather, it was about Fang Li's astounding actions during the preliminaries.

Master is too kind, disciple is just lucky, a few teammates are not simple at all. Fang Li said humbly.

I personally witnessed your performance in the preliminaries. It really makes us sigh in amazement. Xu Ran smiled and said, Speak, why have you come to find me this time? You are someone who doesn't visit the Three Treasures Palace for no reason.

CHAPTER 504 - DIFF

I'm not satisfied with Master's words. This time, I've come to find you because there's a problem with the alchemy field that I couldn't figure out no matter how hard I thought. Fang Li cupped his hands and bowed as he spoke respectfully.

Xu Ran stroked his beard as he replied with a smile, Speak your mind.

Because of Fang Li's outstanding talent, naturally Xu Ran would also pay a lot of attention to Fang Li's matters.

During the first half of the year, Fang Li would often come to the lecture and ask a few questions. He didn't even come for the second half of the year.

If he did not know that Fang Li had spent his days in seclusion outside, he would have concocted pills painstakingly. Xu Ran thought that Fang Li had no interest in the Dao of alchemy.

Because Fang Li was different from the other disciples, Xu Ran was more curious about Fang Li's problems.

For the greater half of the year, this disciple has been bitterly refining a Grade Three Spirit Pill. Only after refining a dozen or so sets of medicinal ingredients would I be able to successfully refine a Grade Three Spirit Pill. No matter how hard this disciple tried, the success rate did not increase at all. That is why this disciple is here today to seek guidance. Fang Li said.

Grade-3 pill? Xu Ran was stroking his beard and acting like a master. He was waiting for Fang Li to ask a question and then easily answer it.

However, after hearing what Fang Li said, he was so shocked that he almost exerted force in his fingers and pulled off his beard.

Xu Ran's astonishment was not due to Fang Li's bewilderment. It was because the success rate of the medicinal pill was too low. But now, Fang Li was able to refine a Grade Three Medicinal Pill?

You, you said that you're capable of refining a grade-3 pill now? Xu Ran had an expression of shock as he couldn't help but ask.

Although Xu Ran knew that Fang Li would definitely not lie about this matter. However, it was still hard to hide the shock in his heart. He could not help but want to confirm it again.

Yes. Fang Li nodded and said, Actually, half a year ago, I successfully refined a Tier 3 pill. It's just that the failure rate is too high. I thought I had too little experience, so I tried for half a year, but it didn't change anything.

Xu Ran was astonished. He looked at Fang Li as if he was looking at a monster.

More than half a year ago, that is to say, just one year ago, Fang Li had just become a Tier 2 alchemist." In less than half a year, he was already able to refine a grade-3 pill?

Once this thought appeared in Xu Ran's mind, he felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

From a tier two alchemist to a tier three alchemist in half a year?

With Xu Ran's experience, he had never heard of such a situation happening.

Even the current number one figure in the Dao of Alchemy Division, who had a great master, would never have reached such an exaggerated level when he was young.

Master? Master? Fang Li saw that Xu Ran actually seemed to be reminiscing. After waiting for a while, he could not help but shout out in confusion.

Cough, cough. Xu Ran knew that he had lost his composure when Fang Li shouted. He calmed himself down and said, Do you have a Tier 3 pill that you refine on you? Show me.

Yes. Fang Li stretched out his palm and took out a jade bottle from the Slaughter Spell and handed it to Xu Ran.

Xu Ran extended his hands to receive it before opening the jade seal and pouring out a few medicinal pills.

He looked at the finished product pill on his palm. As expected, it was a grade-3 pill. Furthermore, it wasn't one of them.

Xu Ran sucked in a breath of cold air as the shock in his heart was indescribable.

This, was this really made by you? Xu Ran asked.

I refined it, Fang Li replied doubtfully. Is there a problem with the pills I refined?

Up till now, Fang Li had never once felt how astonishing it was for him to advance from a Tier 2 alchemist to a Tier 3 alchemist in a mere year.

But in the eyes of these famous pill refiners, this rate of improvement was absolutely on par with the incredulous level that a cultivator would jump by two great realms in a year's time.

Not only the Cloud Break Academy, but even among the disciples of the Alchemy Dao Sect, the best result was that they were only Tier 3 alchemists. By the time he graduated, a Grade Four Alchemist was already the limit.

A Grade Four Alchemist could already be called a Medial Grade Alchemist. His status and position were even better than martial practitioners who had reached the seventh step and above.

There was a limit to the age at which the three great academies could recruit disciples. Usually, after graduation, one would only be in their thirties at most. Being able to reach the level of a Grade Three Alchemist at this age was indeed not an easy feat.

In the outside world, the advancement of alchemists was slow. It required a lot of experience and experience in refining to be able to reach a higher level bit by bit.

More importantly, in the outside world, pill formulas were much more precious than martial arts manuals. It was only in the three great academies that the pill formulas, as well as the pill experience of a senior, were so easily obtainable.

Even so, at the end of graduation, his best result was only that of a Grade Four Alchemist. Most of the time, a Grade Three Alchemist was already the limit.

The current number one alchemist of the Dao of Alchemy Division was a Tier 3 alchemist. And this person will also leave the Cloud Break Academy next year. During this year, no one would believe that it could become a Grade Four Alchemist.

Currently, there was only one person in the entire Dao of Alchemy Division who had reached the level of a tier 3 alchemist. Moreover, this person had only reached the level of a Tier 3 alchemist in the final year before he entered the Cloud Break Academy.

On the other hand, Fang Li, who had just entered Cloud Break Academy for a year, was already able to refine a Grade Three Medicinal Pill. How could this not shock Xu Ran?

Even when compared to martial artists, alchemists paid more attention to mental calmness and steadiness. On the path of alchemy, Xu Ran was an extremely famous and high level alchemist. In terms of control over his emotions, he had reached a level that mortals could not hope to reach.

But now, he saw with his own eyes the grade three medicinal pill Fang Li had refined. Even with Xu Ran's calmness. He was completely unable to calm down either.

As for Fang Li, he had never thought that his ability to refine a Grade 3 pill was the reason why Xu Ran's behavior and actions were so unnatural. It was precisely because from the beginning, Fang Li had come into contact with the Alchemy Grounds that the azure-dressed woman had given to Fang Li.

This was a sacred book that was far beyond the level of alchemy in the Immortal Profound Continent.

After studying the Dao of alchemy, Fang Li's horizons naturally rose a lot, which was why he did not think that he could concoct a tier 3 pill now. There was anything that was surprising about him, and he did not expect Xu Ran's current condition to be because he had concocted a tier 3 pill.

No, there's no problem with this pill. Xu Ran stared blankly for a good while before replying to Fang Li's question. Even though there's no problem with the pill, I should understand why your success rate in refining a Grade 3 pill has not increased. "

Please give me a few pointers, Master. Fang Li said sincerely.

Do you know the difference between the grade-3 pill you refined and the grade-1 pill you refined? Xu Ran let out a sigh. He suppressed the emotions in his heart and began to help Fang Li search for problems.

CHAPTER 505 - PROBLEM

It was the dream of every master to have such talented disciples.

If a person could not live forever, then his ability and pursuit of martial and alchemy naturally did not wish to disappear along with him.

This was why both martial artists and alchemists yearned to have a disciple with astounding talent. In a situation where he had completely inherited his legacy, he would still be able to achieve great things. If he was truly able to do it to such a degree, then so be it. In the future, when the sun and the people were separated forever, he would definitely leave with a smile.

Xu Ran felt this way as he looked at Fang Li. He had already treated Fang Li as the most suitable disciple to inherit all of his apothecary abilities.

Thus, when faced with Fang Li's question, he exerted even more of his strength.

The difference? Fang Li muttered to himself as a pondering look appeared in his eyes. After a while, he said, Speaking of the difference, the only thing disciple can think of is the pill pattern.

Tier 1 or Tier 2 pills. I'm 90% sure that disciples have pill prints on them right now. Only Tier 3 pills have dozens of them, but none have any Tier 3 pills.

Do you know the conditions required to forge a pill with the pill imprint? Xu Ran didn't deny the difference that Fang Li mentioned and continued to ask.

Condition? Fang Li was stunned. In fact, these conditions were due to his experience in pill refining. Only by perfecting them to an extremely minute detail would it be possible to refine a pill with a pill imprint. This kind of experience was something Fang Li did not have. Currently, in the Cloud Break Academy, the reason why these famous alchemists thought that Fang Li was a rare alchemist genius in the past few hundred years was because he did not have much experience in pill refining and could only concoct pills.

This kind of judgment came from Fang Li's age.

Even though Fang Li had been receiving the inheritance since he was young. However, it had only been a few decades, and in the Dao of alchemy, that had been little more than a few years.

And to be able to do so while he only had ten or so years of experience in the Dao of alchemy at most. He was able to forge a pill with pill patterns. It was a manifestation of an astonishing talent. This was also the main reason why the Cloud Break Academy made an exception for Fang Li's participation in the examination for the Alchemy Dao as well as for the famous Elders in the Alchemy Dao.

However, the fundamental reason why he was able to create the pill imprint wasn't because of his astounding potential. It was all thanks to the description of the grand ceremony of the Dao of alchemy.

The author of the book had a thorough understanding of the Dao of alchemy. The more Fang Li came into contact with the Dao of alchemy, the more astonished he became. It was precisely because of the help of this person he had never met that he was able to refine the pill so easily.

Now that Xu Ran had asked about this condition, Fang Li thought about it in a blink of an eye before thinking about the issue of the Pill Marking.

Fang Li had indeed been curious about this.

To Fang Li, it was very rare to see a pill with tens of pills and not a single mark on it.

Back then, when he tried forging grade-1 and grade-2 pills, as long as he succeeded, he would be able to achieve a 50/50 chance of forging a pill successfully.

Are these Pill Marks? Fang Li said after some thought.

Yes, it's precisely the Pill Pattern. Xu Ran smiled as he looked at the Grade 3 pill in his hand before turning to look at Fang Li. There was no problem with this grade three medicinal pill. However, your understanding towards the Dao of alchemy should be sufficient to refine one or two of these Grade 3 elixirs. Yet, you do not have such an ability now.

This situation, to the bystanders, does not have any problems at all. However, to you, it's sufficient to explain the situation.

Your divine sense is very powerful. Even this old man has to be ashamed at your age.

As for your talent in the Dao of alchemy, it is also unparalleled by ordinary people. In such a situation, the only problem with being unable to refine a pill with pill patterns lies in the control of your spiritual power.

Control of spiritual force!? Fang Li was shocked.

This problem had once troubled Fang Li, and during the preliminaries, it had allowed Fang Li to understand even more clearly that his control over Spiritual Sense was indeed lacking.

It was like having a golden mountain, yet not knowing how to develop it.

Now that Xu Ran had pointed it out, Fang Li instantly understood the crux of the problem.

That's right, there was a problem with the control of his spiritual force.

All the steps of the Tier 3 pill were exactly as described in the Alchemy Dao Ceremony. Fang Li was also quite satisfied with the process; at the very least, Fang Li did not find anything obvious about the process of refining these pills that needed improvement.

In such a situation, there would only be two situations.

Firstly, the refinement of this tier three medicinal pill, Fang Li had truly achieved a certain degree of perfection. As a result, Fang Li had not discovered any obvious mistakes.

The second reason was that he didn't notice any errors during the refining process.

In the current situation, the second scenario was more suitable for Fang Li.

During the refining process, Fang Li could not discover any obvious mistakes.

Having thought through the problem, Fang Li's spirit was stunned. He quickly bowed to Xu Ran and said, Please advise me, Master.

You don't have a cultivation method, do you? Or rather, don't have a cultivation method that's good enough? Xu Ran said.

With Fang Li's originally strong spiritual force, if he was unable to discover the flaws in the pill refining process, he would not know how to use it. It was easier to solve this kind of problem.

Indeed, I don't have any cultivation methods related to divine sense. Fang Li replied.

When Xu Ran heard Fang Li's reply, he was even more certain of his thoughts.

In the span of a breath, he extended a finger and pointed it at the center of Fang Li's brows.

There were some fluctuations in Fang Li's eyes, but he did not resist.

Xu Ran did not have any intention to kill and he did not have any motives.

The center of the eyebrows and Qi Sea were the two life gates of a martial artist. Normally, they needed to be carefully guarded.

Xu Ran's movements were neither fast nor slow. Actually, Xu Ran did this on purpose.

When he pointed it out, Xu Ran had already thought about teaching Fang Li the method to cultivate his Spiritual Sense.

However, Xu Ran had his own way of cultivating his spiritual sense. Indeed, in this short period of time, he did not know what technique to impart to Fang Li.

As the finger pointed downwards, Xu Ran looked into Fang Li's eyes carefully. The instant shock in Fang Li's eyes, it was clearly captured by Xu Ran. The fact that Li did not dodge at all determined which method Xu Ran taught Fang Li.

Initially, he had taken a fancy to Fang Li's talent when he accepted Fang Li as his disciple. But now, Fang Li was gradually growing, and Xu Ran did not seem like a disciple who would teach him a lesson in the future.

Perhaps his words were a little harsh, but at the very least, he needed to know if Fang Li truly believed him as his master from the bottom of his heart.

That was why, all of a sudden, he pointed at the center of Fang Li's brows without any warning.

CHAPTER 506 - SPIRIT INDUCTION

With a flick of his finger, a gentle stream of spiritual power entered the spiritual altar between Fang Li's brows.

In an instant, a large amount of information was gathered by Fang Li.

After a moment of shock, Fang Li closed his eyes and used his mind to feel the information.

The first part of the book Fang Li had obtained was a cultivation technique related to spiritual sense. It was called the Godly Pull.

Fang Li quickly skimmed through it, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.

The introduction to divine sense was very perfect. Not only did it describe how to control divine sense in detail, it also described how to use divine sense to attack others.

Furthermore, there was a description of how to strengthen one's spiritual force and quickly recover it. As well as the method to hide his tracks with his soul force and not let anyone else find out about it.

This was precisely the special method used by the disciple sealed during the preliminaries to conceal himself with his spiritual sense. It was even used by everyone on his team to prevent themselves from being discovered.

Fang Li didn't expect that Xu Ran's special methods of sealing the disciples would also be included in the cultivation method.

Just this point alone made Fang Li understand how precious this cultivation method was.

As one of the six halls in the Immortal Profound Continent, it was known for its ability to control and use Spiritual Sense.

As for the word 'seal', not only could it be used against enemies, it could also be used against oneself. Someone who could make others, or even someone whose spiritual sense was stronger than his own, unable to find any traces of him. This was precisely the reason why he could seal his own spiritual force.

During the preliminaries, the disciples of the three families came out. Fang Li had seen a lot of disciples from the other big families, but not a single one of them was able to hide the spiritual fluctuations of the entire group without being detected by Fang Li.

This was also the most standard symbol of a disciple who had been sealed. It could also be said that it would be very difficult for a martial practitioner of the same level to stand shoulder to shoulder with a disciple of the same level when it came to soul power.

Now, as he skimmed through this Godly Pull cultivation technique, Fang Li was becoming more and more shocked. Among them, the method of using soul consciousness to attack others was something that Fang Li had never used before. And this Spirit Realm's introduction was extremely detailed.

There was a technique that Fang Li was quite familiar with. It was to use the power of his spiritual sense to wipe out the power of other people's spiritual senses and then take over that person's body.

Fang Li had seen this kind of situation with his own eyes. It was because after returning to the country of Yuan Lu from the Magic Beast Continent, many of the imperial family and ministers lost their divine sense and lost their consciousness, so they were controlled by others.

At that time, although Fang Li's cultivation was not high, his soul consciousness power was much stronger than this person's. However, in the end, there was no way to destroy this person's divine sense.

This was naturally the reason why Fang Li did not know how to use his Spiritual Sense to attack.

Sensing the various descriptions of the spiritual force in the Spiritual Realm, it was as if Fang Li had opened up a whole new world for him. This shocked Fang Li, causing his interest to soar.

This kind of cultivation technique was exactly what he needed.

In terms of talent, the only thing Fang Li was confident in was his spiritual sense. Due to the fact that Fang Li merged with two lives' worth of souls, his spiritual sense power was twice that of an ordinary person's. This was indeed Fang Li's own talent, and it did not come from someone else's gifts or the inheritance of his cultivation technique.

To have such excellent conditions but not be able to come into contact with the cultivation method of Spiritual Sense, this was indeed a regret that Fang Li had always felt.

Thank you, Master. Fang Li walked out from the wondrous description of the Spirit Realm cultivation technique. He bowed to Xu Ran and spoke sincerely.

You really should thank him. A cold voice rang out, startling Fang Li.

This soft sentence, this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar cold voice, was none other than the azure-dressed woman.

It had been far, far too long since he had heard the azure-robed woman's voice. Fang Li had once thought that this mysterious and cheap master was simply too weak and had fallen into a deep sleep. He had been worried, but there was nothing he could do.

Now that he heard the green-clad girl's voice once again, Fang Li's heart felt light for no reason. He felt as if a huge rock had been lifted off of the ground.

Master. Fang Li used his Spiritual Sense to converse with the green-clothed girl's remnant soul. You've been ignoring your disciple for a long time, I thought …

Why do you think? The green-clothed girl spoke coldly. Even though she had not spoken to Fang Li for a long time, she had not restrained the iciness in her words. The feeling of being a great distance away. Do you still think I'm dead? "

However, Fang Li understood the azure-dressed woman's personality and had long since gotten used to it.

From Fang Li's point of view, the azure-dressed woman was the type of person who was cold on the outside but hot on the inside. And this feeling, as Fang Li saw the larger and grander world, more and more warriors he saw, became clearer and clearer.

It was also because of the many things that had happened and the many experiences that he had experienced that Fang Li felt even more grateful to the green-clad girl.

Everything he had relied on, regardless of whether it was his cultivation technique or shocking inheritance, it all had to do with the azure-dressed woman.

In the past, Fang Li did not have much of an emotional reaction. Now, he had come to the Immortal Profound Continent, to the Cloud End Academy. He had met a genius amongst his peers. Fang Li finally understood how precious all these things were.

Currently, even when Fang Li faced the disciples of the large powers in the Immortal Profound Continent who had thousands of years of heritage, he was not afraid in the slightest.

The green-clothed woman alone was completely superior to the strongest disciples that the great powers had brought out all their resources and resources to cultivate. This was the most intuitive feeling Fang Li had right now.

He was not any weaker than anyone of the same age. Even the so-called three great families, as well as the four great clans deep within the continent, would not think that anyone would be able to defeat him under the same cultivation level.

All of this was given to her by the azure-dressed woman.

Fang Li had long since felt gratitude from the bottom of his heart for this tragic and mysterious master of his.

The soul fusion allowed Fang Li to have a strong spiritual sense. This was what the azure-dressed woman had done from the beginning. The difficulty of cultivating the Purple Profound Scripture was something that the azure-dressed woman had helped to solve. Currently, Fang Li was relying on his four great techniques, the Nine Steps of the Movement Technique, which the azure-dressed woman had personally taught him. The True Dragon Magic and the Five Elements Source Energy were obtained by following the azure-robed woman's instructions and finding the True Dragon Legacy. As for the Martial Monarch Spear Technique, it was also extremely related to the azure-dressed woman.

It could be said without a trace of politeness that if the green-clothed girl was not here, Fang Li would definitely not have achieved his current achievements.

This gratitude was etched into Fang Li's heart.

Disciple would not dare to have such thoughts. Fang Li hurriedly said when he heard the azure-dressed woman's indifferent tone.

Even you wouldn't dare. At the very least, it should be one of the top three techniques in the entire Immortal Profound Continent. You should thank this old man well. The azure-dressed woman said.

CHAPTER 507 - CULTIVATION

Disciple understands. As Fang Li conversed with the green-clad girl, he also thanked Xu Ran.

Currently, he truly did not have any way to repay Xu Ran directly. After all, as a disciple, Fang Li was far from being able to do anything.

However, Fang Li would never forget this kindness in his heart.

Spirit Realm, this cultivation method belongs to the Alchemist Guild's top-notch spiritual sense cultivation method. Xu Ran said, This cultivation method can only be practiced by alchemists who have made great contributions to the Alchemist Guild. And it was when I was young that I spent so much effort to help the Alchemist Guild obtain this technique.

The cultivation method of soul power is not as detailed as the cultivation method of a martial artist. The four ranks of heaven, earth, dark, and yellow are very thin. However, there were naturally differences between good and bad techniques related to soul power. Amongst all the spiritual power techniques, the Deity's Realm was definitely one of the best. It is vast and profound, and you must study it well.

This gift is too heavy. This is … Fang Li was stunned as he quickly replied. Furthermore, according to Master, this is a cultivation technique from the Alchemist Guild, and can only be learned by those with great contributions. Disciple does not want to ruin Master's reputation. "

It's fine. Xu Ran smiled faintly as he spoke. The more he looked at Fang Li, the more he liked him. After obtaining such a top-notch cultivation technique, Xu Ran didn't even need to think about how to help others. Just his determination made Xu Ran happy.

Back then when we obtained the Spirit Realm, the Alchemist Guild said that anyone who obtains the Spirit Realm could be taught three disciples.

Right now, you're the third, and also the one I've been most satisfied with so far in terms of my latent talent in the Dao of alchemy. Xu Ran said.

Disciple will remember this. Fang Li said sincerely.

Alright, try cultivating the Spirit Realm first and then learn how to use your powerful spiritual force before you start refining pills. At that time, the success rate would still be extremely low. Come find me again."

Yes. Fang Li nodded and said, Then disciple will leave first.

Go, go, young man. Time must be spent on what needs to be done. Xu Ran said with a smile.

After Fang Li left, Xu Ran returned to his room and prepared to start concocting pills.

At Xu Ran's age, pill refining did not have much of a benefit, it was just a taste. Actually, for many high level alchemists these days, refining pills was indeed something worth enjoying.

When Xu Ran saw Fang Li today, the happiness in his heart was indescribable.

Fang Li's talent was even more astonishing than his performance during the Dao of Alchemy Division's test.

In the future, Xu Ran would naturally talk to those high level alchemists who had agreed to teach Fang Li about this.

This was something that everyone deserved to be happy about.

After all, what happened that day was brought up by Xu Ran. Everyone chose to compromise because of Fang Li's talent. Now that Fang Li had improved, it was obvious that he hadn't disappointed Xu Ran's suggestion that day.

And that Spirit Realm was indeed the best cultivation method for Xu Ran's soul force. It could even be said that it was the best way to cultivate spiritual sense on the Immortal Profound Continent.

Xu Ran was not exaggerating at all. In terms of cultivation methods of spiritual sense, they could be divided into four levels: Sky, Earth, Profound and Yellow. Then this Spirit Realm was definitely a heaven-rank cultivation technique.

At the very least, within the Cloud Break Academy, there were twenty or so high level alchemists. However, only Xu Ran and Gao Dai possessed the Spirit Realm cultivation technique.

As for the Spirit Realm technique, Xu Ran had three slots that he could teach to his own disciples. It was indeed true.

The previous two disciples had now reached the realm of high-level alchemists. However, Xu Ran wasn't too satisfied. At the very least, he wasn't human. Those two disciples were able to surpass him in the dao of pills.

As for Fang Li, Xu Ran was confident that before he passed away, he would let himself see what his disciple had surpassed.

Being surpassed by a disciple made Master feel even more gratified.

This signified his own Dao, Xu Ran's Dao of alchemy, his path, and his direction. He could continue onward. This was what Xu Ran wanted to do, but it was already very difficult to take a step forward in this situation. And if his own disciple succeeded in taking this step, which teacher would be unhappy?

Master will leave a trick for this disciple. Such a claim did indeed exist. However, in the Dao of Alchemy Division … This was a rare occurrence.

Normally, this kind of situation would only occur in the warrior's bloodline, and it was a situation where disciples were widely accepted.

In a situation where he didn't understand his disciple's personality, he was afraid that his disciple would learn some skills and then do something that would go against his will. As a master, he naturally had to take responsibility for this.

And accepting a wide range of disciples, meant that it was impossible to accurately experience the nature of one's own disciple.

Many times, it was difficult for a person to know the bottom of their heart, even though they knew the bottom of their heart.

Just in case, an evil disciple would appear. It was understandable that a master would keep his cards on the table.

As for this move, what remained might not be the most profound martial arts. But it had to be a move that restrained his own disciple the most.

However, in the Dao of alchemy, the master and the disciple really agreed to the saying that the master was to be the father for one day.

This was each other, not just one side.

In a certain period of time, the number of disciples to be taught was absolutely not many. Furthermore, as long as the Dao of Alchemy Division accepted a master, they would only have one master. This kind of relationship was much more common than having a master in the midst of a practitioner. It was not hard to see which master's and disciple's relationships were more genuine between the two.

If the world of martial arts was cruel, then sometimes a master could hurt a disciple, and a disciple could betray the sect. In the world of alchemists, situations like this were too rare.

When Xu Ran was teaching Fang Li, he didn't leave any trump cards. In addition, when the majority of alchemists were teaching their disciples, they rarely left anything behind.

The path of the Dao of alchemy was even more lonely, and even more paranoid. And compared to martial arts, there were more differences.

In this sort of situation, the teacher would naturally wish for the disciple to help him accomplish his dream and reach a realm that he had yet to reach.

The reason why Xu Ran treated Fang Li so generously was because he felt that there was a possibility of Fang Li surpassing him. This made Xu Ran very excited.

After leaving, Fang Li did not linger around and directly returned to his own residence.

Spirit Realm was an extraordinary cultivation technique. Moreover, it was the one
