Reincarnation of the God of Medicine
Chapter 311: Training the alchemists
Xianlun and Xiang Ying instantly practiced the techniques they had learned, whereas Xia Ning could only watch them because she did not have a furnace to use at the moment.
Xiang Ying dab Xianlun concentrated the soul force on their right palm, then read the spells inscribed inside the scroll to raise the quality level of the furnace. After feeling the soul force in their right palm was enough, they immediately patted their own furnace with their right hand simultaneously.
In one try, they also managed to improve the quality of the furnace to the fifth level. But because it is not familiar with the technique, and has not fully mastered the control of soul power. They also ran out of soul power until they almost fell down with gasping breaths.
"Can you guys still go on?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"Ka .. we still can," Xiang Ying and Xianlun said as they swallowed the second tier soul power recovery pill they took out from within the space ring.
"It seems that you have not been able to properly control the conduct of the soul. Is my method too difficult to understand?"
"Remember that you are an elder of the alchemist branch, if you are just like this how can your disciple become a high-level alchemist?"
"Tiered two pills won't be able to restore all of your strength, it will take dozens of tier two pills to stabilize the soul power you can spend in half the way of concocting a tier five pill."
"All this happened because your control in the power of the soul is so lacking, as a patriach I cannot accept this. It is only fitting that your students have never won the alchemist branch, you alone have not been able to exceed my expectations," Xiao Tian said as he stared intently at the two elders.
"Unfortunately Patriach, your method is amazing. We do understand how it works, it's just that our bodies are still unfamiliar with the method" Xianlun said, bowing her head.
"With the current ability of the calamity, you can only concoct third-rate pills with 99% effectiveness%. Whereas I need a tier five pill with an effectiveness of over a hundred percent. Do you know the reason I gathered all the alchemist branch disciples with the fighting branch disciples?"
"All I did was to increase the strength of the two branches to the point of being able to compete with the other sects in the tournament tomorrow. Where the fighters will swallow the pills you concoct, and break through as much as possible with methods that can hurt them. The greater the effectiveness and level of the pills they swallow, the less pain they will experience. And the pills you have to concoct are soul recovery pills made from rainbow grass, purple ginseng and skyscraper leaves. Will you be able to respond to my request?" xiao Tian asked as he stared intently at the elders.
"Although patriach, I do not have all three ingredients" Xianlun said, saluting.
"These three ingredients are indeed very easy to find and so abundant in our herbal garden, but at this time I do not bring it because previously no one knew the potential of the herbal ingredients. Even we consider the three materials as being very difficult to melt with other materials" Xiang Ying said, saluting.
"Hamba also did not bring the material you mentioned earlier, all because we never used it," Xia Ning said as she saluted.
"Hay, then tell half your students to take as much of the material as possible. And the rest remain here to help recover Xianlun and Xiang Ying's strength" Xiao Tian said with a sigh.
"Both patriach," said Xianlun and the two elders while saluting.
"Did you hear?"
"Go and do as you are told!" xia Ning said as she looked back.
"Good teacher!" say the students while paying their respects.
"I don't care who's gone now, which is important that half of you go to get the materials mentioned. No need to be appointed for those who want to leave quickly!" xiang Ying said as he looked at his disciple.
"Tian Ling, you're my only student. Go and follow them for my sake" Xianlun said as she looked at Tian Ling.
"Good teacher," Tian Ling said as he saluted.
"For Tian Ling and the two disciples who attended the demonstration earlier, stay here. You are the best students of the three elders. It is very important for you to hone your skills until the day changes," Xiao Tian said as he looked towards Xianlun.
"Even the patriach, if you can know what kind of training we have to undergo?"
"While there are only two furnaces. Can we train together until dawn?" tian Ling asked while paying his respects.
"Resert!" xiao Tian said as he narrowed his eyes.
"Alright, Patriach," Tian Ling said as he stepped back.
"This is not just for Tian Ling alone, I ask that all of you retreat to a distance of more than twenty feet from the furnace. I will draw a magic array that can be useful to everyone," Xiao Tian said with a faint smile.
As everyone retreated, Xia Hu and his friend returned while carrying Xia Ning's furnace which they stored inside the space ring.
"Alright Patriach," Xia Hu said as he took out Xia Ning's furnace.
The furnace was already in its position, although it still looked broken Xiao Tian could still repair the furnace with all the soul force still remaining in his body. In one pat while reciting the mantra in the heart, the furnace returned to normal to make everyone surprised.
"This is a technique that drains so much soul power, in contrast to the current technique in the previous demonstration. The technique I just practiced was so draining, but the effect was permanent that it could make this furnace look new. Now that my soul power is only left one the same as Xianlun and Xiang Ying, if I use it again I will definitely faint," Xiao Tian thought with a breath of gasps.
"Xia Ning, now that my leg has been fixed. Quickly practice the furnace quality improvement method right now!" xiao Tian said with a breath of breath.
"Alright Patriach," Xia Ning said as she stepped forward near his leg.
Xia Ning practiced what the two elders practiced before, but the result was quite a shock to Xiao Tian as he managed to raise the furnace with quite a bit of soul force.
"It's true beyond my expectations, you succeeded Xia Ning!"
"I'm proud of you," Xiao Tian said with a smile.
"Successful in one try, Xia Ning was truly talented. I should ask her for advice," Xiang Ying thought as she looked towards Xia Ning.
"Thank you for the praise of the patriach," Xia Ning said as she saluted.
"Alright, since all the furnaces are already on the fifth level. You back off, for a while. I want to draw a pattern that is very useful for training the soul power control of alchemist disciple disciples," Xiao Tian said as he looked into Xia Ning's eyes.
"Alright, patriach," Xia Ning said as she saluted.
After everyone had stepped aside from the area around the furnace, Xiao Tian drew three separately made circles near the place of each furnace. In the center of the circular pattern there is a six-star emblem with a small circle in the center of the star.
In each of the pattern line encounters Xiao Tian had the disciples standing at every corner of the meeting line that had a total of twelve. And told the three elders to stand in the middle of the small circle.
Xianlun was forced to borrow disciples from the two elders to run the arrangement. Originally Xiang Ying and Xia Ning were indeed at odds with Xianlun, but it was because it was Xiao Tian who asked them to lend a disciple, instead, they also obeyed this because they did not want to offend the person they considered to be the patriach of Tian Zong.
After being in their respective positions, Xiao Tian told the disciples to sit cross-legged while brandishing their forefolds. Then concentrate the soul's power to flow into the arrangement. The elders were told to stand and concentrate on their furnaces.
While waiting for the necessary ingredients, Xiao Tian had them concoct another pill that was inside the recipe. Before telling them to concoct pills, Xiao Tian asked them which ingredients they brought.
After knowing the answer, Xiao Tian doused them concocting soul recovery pills according to the recipe that was on the scroll.
There were all sorts of recipes that Xiao Tian had written before, and all of them had the same function of restoring soul power.
Although it had the same effect and was not as difficult as concocting the three abnormal materials that were difficult to smelter, Xiao Tian did not recommend any other ingredients because it was indeed quite rare and difficult to find on the Xian Yun mainland.
Hence, from the very beginning Xiao Tian had them concoct pills that were quite difficult to concoct for beginners. But since the necessary materials did not yet exist, Xiao Tian was forced to have the elders use the rare nail material.
Concocting a tier five pill required great soul power control, and the amount of soul power one had to possess should at least reach the number eight hundred and above.
Whereas back then other than Xia Ning, the two elders only had soul power at number one alone. All because their soul power had been drained away when raising the quality of the furnace earlier.
For the sake of raising the soul strength of the elders Xiao Tian activated the six-star array formation he drew near the furnace. With the elders as the center and the disciples as the source of their strength, Xiang Yong and Xianlun's soul power recovered in the blink of an eye. Xia Ning who from the beginning still had soul power, gained such incredible energy that she was able to concoct pills faster than the other two elders.
With the effectiveness of the pill reaching one hundred and fifty percent, Xia Ning earned the praise from Xiao Tian to make her so happy.
"You're talented, but don't be complacent first. Because you can't stop practicing until you can concoct a tier five pill with two hundred percent effectiveness. So before this is achieved, don't stop practicing, okay?" xiao Tian said with a faint smile.
"Hamba understands, Patriach," Xia Ning said as she saluted.
After hearing Xiao Tian's words, the elders and disciples present in the three six-star formation array concocted as many pills as possible while waiting for the materials they needed to arrive.
