Chapter 264 - 262: Fa Ming Reads Fortunes, but Can’t See Clearly...

Chapter 264: Chapter 262: Fa Ming Reads Fortunes, but Can’t See Clearly...

After that.

Su Qing went on to ask about a dozen more Spirit Medicines.

Zhao Rou was able to answer each one.

’She’s quite good. At least she has truly memorized their medicinal properties.’

...

...

"Alright, since you’ve learned the basics," Su Qing said, "today, I will demonstrate how to refine Elixirs for you."

He led Zhao Rou into his Alchemy Room.

Inside, there was only a single Magical Artifact channeling flames. A high temperature was all that was needed.

For low-level Cultivators, there was no need for any special flames for Alchemy anyway.

"These are the medicinal ingredients for the Qi Nourishing Pill. Watch closely."

"I will only demonstrate this once."

Su Qing used the Silk Binding Hand technique. There was no way he would use the Immortal Control Hand.

The Silk Binding Hand was a common technique, which also fit Su Qing’s previous identity as a Loose Cultivator.

"Pay attention to the timing of when I add the ingredients, my technique, and the heat control."

"Make sure you see everything clearly."

"Senior Brother Ye, I’m ready." Zhao Rou was already watching Su Qing with her full attention.

"Mm, then let’s begin." Su Qing also grew serious.

The Magical Artifact ignited with Spiritual Fire, and the Alchemy Room began to heat up.

Su Qing started the Alchemy process.

’Qi Nourishing Pills are a piece of cake.’

As for Zhao Rou, she watched Su Qing’s Alchemy, memorizing each step in order, and found herself becoming a little mesmerized.

’When Senior Brother Ye performs Alchemy, there’s a certain fluidity to it...’

Indeed, when Su Qing was refining, every single one of his movements was natural and smooth, possessing a kind of effortless perfection.

Half an hour passed.

Su Qing extinguished the fire.

"Alright, the refinement is a success," Su Qing said.

"Open it and have a look," he said to Zhao Rou.

"Okay, Senior Brother Ye." Zhao Rou used her Magical Power to open the lid of the Medicine Cauldron and saw fifteen Qi Nourishing Pills inside.

There wasn’t even any medicinal residue left.

"Senior Brother, your Alchemy Technique is so brilliant," Zhao Rou exclaimed as she picked up a Qi Nourishing Pill to examine it.

"Okay, next, go to a public Alchemy Room and practice. I’ll give you fifty sets of ingredients."

"Come find me after you’ve used them all, and I’ll teach you more."

Afterwards.

Su Qing took Zhao Rou and secured an Alchemy Room free of charge. Given Su Qing’s standing, it was granted.

No Spirit Stones required.

After giving the fifty sets of ingredients to Zhao Rou, he left the Alchemy Room.

He didn’t want to spend too much time teaching, either.

He still had his own Cultivation to attend to.

He wanted Zhao Rou to get some hands-on practice herself.

Only after she had tried it herself would Su Qing offer more guidance.

If she had no practical experience, Su Qing wouldn’t even want to guide her.

After all, knowing something and being able to do it are two completely different things.

Su Qing wasn’t a great teacher, but he had absolutely no problem doing things himself.

...

’I’ve eaten quite a few Spirit Fruits now. My aptitude should have increased by over three hundred times, right?’

Su Qing mulled over his progress.

He felt that by next month, he could advance his Five Immortals Demon God Skill to the Minor Achievement stage.

If he was lucky, he might even get close to the Great Success stage.

’Once my Physique improves, I’ll try eating a 20x one.’

Su Qing had just been synthesizing Spirit Fruits for a little while.

When he heard Tao Mingze summon him.

Or rather, everyone was called to the area of the Alchemy Hall where Elixirs were sold.

Su Qing saw a Monk.

This Monk looked extremely familiar to Su Qing.

But he couldn’t quite recall who he was.

There was also a Golden Core Realm Cultivator chatting with him.

Even Zhao Rou, who was in the middle of Alchemy, had been called out.

"My apologies, benefactors." Fa Ming smiled at the crowd and took out several bottles of Elixirs. Since he had troubled them, he naturally had to offer a small gift.

Fa Ming glanced around but didn’t see anyone with powerful fortune.

So he bid farewell to the Golden Core Cultivator.

As soon as Fa Ming left, the Golden Core Cultivator said, "Everyone, dismiss. Go back to what you were doing."

"Master Fa Ming was just here to read everyone’s fortunes."

Su Qing was a little puzzled.

He turned and left.

What he didn’t know was that Fa Ming had been looking for him.

Unfortunately, Su Qing’s methods were too profound.

Thanks to his Cultivation of Hidden Dragon No Luck, Su Qing’s fortune had long since appeared as a steady cyan color.

No matter how his true fortune fluctuated, what he revealed to the outside world was always cyan.

His appearance had also changed.

His Cultivation was hidden. So what if the Monk saw him?

The key was that Su Qing didn’t seem to rely on his own luck to obtain good things.

After Su Qing returned.

He continued to synthesize Spirit Fruits.

Su Qing hoped that the Standardization Spirit Fruits that increased aptitude would appear continuously.

Unfortunately, he had to synthesize hundreds of Spirit Fruits just for one Standardization Spirit Fruit that increased aptitude to appear.

The material consumption was enormous.

Thankfully, he had cultivated a great many Spirit Fruits back then.

Otherwise, Su Qing’s Reincarnation would have truly been progressing at a snail’s pace, just like before.

...

「One week later.」

Body Tempering Limit [God Demon Shaping Immortal Body: Mastery (21/1000)]

’God Demon Shaping Immortal Body, Mastery.’

"I can eat a 50x Standardization Spirit Fruit in one go now." Su Qing grinned.

His progress this time was remarkably fast.

Despite his complaints, Su Qing was too eager to improve.

Someone was coming.

Su Qing had no choice but to go to the door.

"Senior Brother Ye," Zhao Rou called out respectfully.

"Finished with the fifty sets?"

"Yes, Senior Brother. I succeeded once."

"..." Su Qing was speechless.

’With that kind of material consumption, it’s better not to do Alchemy at all.’

"Come into my Alchemy Room," Su Qing said, leading the way.

"Yes."

"You’ll perform Alchemy," Su Qing instructed Zhao Rou.

"I’ll watch you once to see how you’re failing," Su Qing said.

Zhao Rou nodded.

She took the Spirit Medicines Su Qing had given her and arranged them.

Then, she began to refine the Elixir.

Su Qing watched the entire process.

In the end, all she produced were dregs.

Misshapen dregs. This Elixir wasn’t difficult to make, so the chance of the Tripod Cauldron exploding was very small.

Zhao Rou looked at Su Qing, discouraged.

"Your Alchemy Technique is a bit lacking. When you were refining the Cyan Spirit Grass, the heat was too high, and you couldn’t maintain stability during the Melt Pill phase..."

Su Qing pointed out several things, leading Zhao Rou to a sudden realization. She hadn’t known she was making so many mistakes.

"Did you remember all that?"

"I’ve memorized it, Senior Brother Ye."

"Good."

"I’ll give you another fifty sets of ingredients. Go and figure it out on your own." Su Qing led Zhao Rou to another Alchemy Room.

He then used his own Spirit Stones to buy more herbs for her.

After all, he had to repay the favor of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After getting Zhao Rou settled, Su Qing went back to synthesizing.

At night, he would focus on his Cultivation.

Basically, whenever he had time, he worked on increasing his aptitude.

「Two days later.」

Night fell.

"Master," came Xiaoqing’s voice.

Su Qing turned around and saw Xiaoqing and the Immortal Puppet once again.

Su Qing quickly set down a Forbidden Array Plate.

"Did you bring the Pocket World?" Su Qing asked.

"Yes, Master," Xiaoqing replied.

The Immortal Puppet proactively presented a ball of light—this was the refined Pocket World.

"I’ve troubled you both. But there’s one thing I need to instruct you on."

"Go back and give an order to the Array Plate in the Little Immortal Realm on Qingsu Island."

"Allow the Immortal Qi to flow out. Maintain it for one day," Su Qing said.

"Immortal Puppet, hold out your hand," Su Qing instructed.

The Immortal Puppet obediently extended its hand.

"Extract." With a single thought from Su Qing, the surroundings were filled with Spiritual Qi.

In the Immortal Puppet’s hand, a Spirit Stone appeared.

[Unknown Spirit Stone: Contains enough Spiritual Qi to fill an entire Great World with liquefied Spiritual Qi...]

"Take this back to Qingsu Island. Instruct the Array Plates to guard the Spiritual Qi from this Spirit Stone. Tell Tang Dan to manage the island’s development for me, especially the collection of metals."

Since Su Qing wasn’t dead, he certainly had to give something back to everyone.

He also wanted to develop Qingsu Island at the same time.

Su Qing now understood that having a force of his own could help him with many things.

For example, he wouldn’t lack Spirit Stones, nor would he lack the resources to develop anything he wanted.

"There’s nothing else for now. Later, when I break through to the Divinity Transformation realm, I will manage it myself."

"Xiaoqing, help me perform an Inference. What is the purpose of that Monk from the Moon God Palace?"

Since Xiaoqing was here, Su Qing had to clear up his doubts.
