Double Cultivation
azure api
The cauldron room was a place made especially for Alchemy Masters to use without having to worry about being distracted or bothering others as they made pills in their residences; it was a convenient place that allowed Alchemy Masters to concoct pills whenever they wanted, and as a Sect specializing in Alchemy, every home had at least one cauldron Room.
The Cauldron Room was also enforced with a special formation so that the disciples would not have to worry about destroying the entire house if they accidentally caused their cauldron to explode, which was more common, especially in the Outer Court.
Inside the dimly lit cauldron Room inside Su Yang's residence, Zhu Mengyi sat in the middle of a large empty room with a beautiful cauldron in front of her. With an intricate design around him, the cauldron gave the impression that it belonged to an expert and had existed since ancient times. The size of the cauldron was almost as high as the sitting Zhu Mengyi, and it was large enough to fit an adult inside without any problems.
Compared to the simple cauldron used in the Lecture Hall, its quality could be considered luxurious.
Su Yang stood a few meters away from him, and he said to him as soon as he took the cauldron, "Please and make an Earth Progress Pill for me now. I want to gauge your dao level of alchemy from it."
"I see," Zhu Mengyi took out the ingredients for the earth progress pill from her storage ring, taking out a total of 108 different potions.
Taking a deep breath, his expression suddenly turned serious, and his hands moved swiftly as he started examining the potion at a speed that was many times faster than Qing Shan's match with Su Yang.
Just a few minutes later, Zhu Mengyi began the grinding process, and within half an hour, every one of the 108 herbs was perfectly executed.
His movements were smooth and accurate, and he never stopped moving during the entire process, completing the preparations at a level that would make the Alchemy Masters in this world speechless.
Even Su Yang could not help but feel impressed by his speed. While his speed was, in fact, nothing special in his eyes, he did not compare it to the Alchemy Masters in his world, and as someone from this lower world, his achievements were indeed astonishing.
"So his title as the Main Disciple was not just because his mother was a Matriak, huh."
After finishing with the preparations, Zhu Mengyi proceeded to heat the cauldron with flames created from profound Qi and techniques.
"Oh?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow after seeing the color of his flame.
It was not an ordinary orange, yellow, or red. Instead, it was a bright blue color, resembling a clear sky or a clean sea.
"Azure fire? He actually managed to cultivate the azure Flame? Interesting ..." he thought to himself.
In general, cultivators were not born with the ability to create Alchemy Flames that were used specifically for Alchemy and had to rely on unique techniques to create Alchemy Flames.
As for those who were born with the ability to create Fire Alchemy without any special techniques, they had the chance to be born with a unique Fire Alchemy like the azure Flame that Zhu Mengyi was currently using.
It should also be noted that the Alchemy Flame cannot be compared to the normal fire techniques used by cultivators, because such normal flames were too chaotic in nature and did not have the ability to burn the impurities in the pill without burning the pill itself.
However, not all Alchemy Masters viewed these unique flames as a good thing, as they were generally extremely difficult to control, let alone masters. In fact, some Alchemy Masters even viewed such flames as a curse and would abandon their careers as Alchemy Masters once they learned that they possessed such flames.
He controlled the temperature flame of the cauldron easily without any flaws.
Within a few minutes, the cauldron was ready to be used for the pill concoction.
Once the cauldron was at a perfect temperature, Zhu Mengyi threw two ingredients into the cauldron at once, something that even the most confident experts did not dare to try a middle-grade pill, let alone earth advancement pills, one of the few Heaven grade Pills available in this world.
However, this was the end of his quick steps and the beginning of a long and boring trail for Su Yang.
For the next five hours, Su Yang sat there staring at Zhu Mengyi and the barely developed pill in the cauldron. He was so bored that he stopped paying attention and went to sleep.
Three hours later, the room suddenly shook, and a loud explosion occurred within the cauldron room.
ddu!
Su Yang instantly opened his eyes and waved his sleeve, creating a barrier around himself to protect his body against the flying splinters resulting from the exploding cauldron.
*Uhuk uhuk*
"Are you okay?!" Zhu Mengyi called out to him while coughing due to the black smoke filling the room, her voice filled with worry.
Seconds after the explosion, the room activated one of its several advanced mechanisms and began clearing smoke from the room.
As soon as the smoke disappeared, Zhu Mengyi could finally see Su Yang's figure clearly. He was relieved to see her unharmed and let out a deep breath. However, the hue of his face was pale when he saw the frown on Su Yang's handsome face.
He could see in his eyes that all the good impressions he had accumulated to him had disappeared along with his precious qualities!
"M-I'm sorry .. I—"
"You can leave today," Su Yang suddenly said, causing Zhu Mengyi's heart to descend.
However, his later words changed his grief and shocked him. "Go back tomorrow with another cauldron and more materials."
"Y-Yeah!" he quickly replied before leaving to prepare tomorrow.
