Reincarnation of the God of Medicine
Chapter 318: Meeting the disciples
Xiao Tian changed his face back just as he was about to enter the illusionary dragon barrier array, all so that his identity would not be revealed.
"Greetings patriach," said the alchemist elders and all their disciples while saluting.
"Our respect, patriach Tian Zong," said the disciples of the fighting branch while saluting.
"Has all the alchemist branch disciples already mastered the technique?" xiao Tian asked as he looked at Xiang Ying.
"Of course patriach, all the disciples had mastered the smelting technique without a furnace. There is only unification and compaction of materials that we cannot practice. All because there is not a single furnace that we can use to help with our training," Xiang Ying said as he saluted.
"Don't I already write down a practice without a furnace?"
"Is my method too difficult?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"The method you give is not impossible if practiced continuously, it only takes days to master the method. Because the method you provide requires high control in controlling soul power. Let alone our disciple, me and the other two elders have not been able to unify the herbal ingredients without the aid of the furnace," Xiang Ying said as he lowered his head.
"I hate to admit it, but that's the truth, indeed" Xia Ning said as she lowered her head.
"It seems that I expected too highly of you guys," Xiao Tian said with a sigh.
The elders lowered their heads in embarrassment of their abilities. Let alone teaching his disciple, they alone could not properly control the soul force.
Concocting pills without a furnace is not easy. In addition to requiring good control in soul power, an alchemist also needed to understand very well the materials they used could be put together and not have the opposite elements. Uniting materials with opposing elements is not impossible, but it takes more effort and understanding to do so. And the reason why none of the elders dared to guarantee that they could concoct without a furnace was because they were aware that in the recipe that Xiao Tian gave them were the opposite ingredients.
"What makes you doubt?"
"I'm sure a beginner like you should have mastered my methods easily, is there one of the ingredients you guys forget about?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"We are confident that we do according to the roll. But no matter how hard we try, the result is still the same. The two materials had always rejected each other, and ended up exploding above the air," Xianlun replied as she looked at Xiao Tian.
"Both materials?"
"Didn't I give you a recipe that says three ingredients?" said Xiao Tian while frowning.
"That ... , is the illusionary grass not a mistake?" xia Ning asked with wide eyes.
"Illus grass?"
"You mean you're all ignoring this material because you think it's useless?" xiao Tian asked as he stared intently at the eyes of the three elders.
The three elders instantly fell silent with wide eyes, and were unable to say what because that was the reality.
"Originally you know ... ,"
"Those illusory grass that you consider useless, can neutralize the poison from the shell of the rainbow clam and bind the hot aura from the fangs of the red dragon."
"You think I wrote it for no reason?" xiao Tian asked as he let out a qi pressure that shocked everyone.
"A .. geez patriach, we admit we were wrong and blinded by our superficial knowledge" said the three elders, bowing their heads.
"Here you go, I don't want to hear your excuses. Since you already know the reason for your failure, continue the practice again. And don't even think about getting your furnace back, until all the disciples of the alchemist branch successfully purify the pill without a furnace. Oh yes, I have installed a barrier array, so you cannot leave this room until you succeed" Xiao Tian said as he stared intently at the three elders.
"Okay patriach, we understand," said the three elders while bowing.
"Even the patriach, I didn't mean to interfere. I know that this exercise is important, but won't the four sects' tournament be held soon?" tian Ling asked while paying his respects.
"What's a tournament?"
"believe it or not, the tournament has been postponed for another three days," Xiao Tian said as he looked at Tian Ling.
"Delayed?"
"On what basis?" xianlun asked while frowning.
"I will answer your question, if you and the other two elders manage to train all of the alchemist disciples," Xiao Tian said as he stared intently at Xianlun's eyes.
"Hamba understood, patriach," Xianlun said as he saluted.
When Xianlun, Xia Ning and Xiang Ying were conversing with Xiao Tian. Xia Hu and the disciples slightly eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Tournament postponed?"
"Is that possible?"
"Aren't the other sects looking forward to this tournament to getting rid of our sect immediately?"
"Is it all because of the appearance of the patriach?" thought Xia Hu while frowning.
"Why are you silent?"
"Continue your training so as not to be overtaken by your friend," Xiao Tian said as he stared intently at Xia Hu's eyes.
"Ma .. sorry patriach, I only thought about the postponed tournament. That sounds a bit strange," Xia Hu said with a smile.
"There's no need for you to take a headache, just assume it's all thanks to me" Xiao Tian said as he looked at Xia Hu.
"What about Long Hu, Xian Juan and Tian Fengji?" xia Hu asked while frowning.
"What do you mean by question?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"Didn't you promise to pit our powers against them?" xia Hu asked while frowning.
"Smart question," Xiao Tian said as he flicked his finger.
"For this room to be in two with your illusions" Xiao Tian said through telepathy.
"The government is accepted," said the fox demon king as he let out a wave of illusions from within his body
A line that divided the two rooms suddenly just appeared right behind Xiao Tian's feet. The line gave off a light thick enough to dazzle everyone's gaze. Those rays and lines looked so real in everyone's eyes, except Xiao Tian and the fox demons of course.
In addition to the arriving light appearing right behind Xiao Tian's back, the red fox demon also made the same illusion in front of the room divider and on each side of the room. At the moment everyone thinks that they are inside a red cube-shaped cage that looks quite transparent.
"I don't think your skills have improved so far" Xiao Tian said by telepathy.
"Ehehe, all of this is thanks to the method you taught the noble one," said the red fox demon king with a smile.
"What are you doing, Patriach?" xia Hu asked while frowning.
"There is no other purpose than to train you, separately," Xiao Tian said with a faint smile.
"I know very well that other sects do not consider our sect to be a sect, even tend to think of us as trash that must be removed immediately. Tournament delays are one of the impossible things to happen a long time ago. Forget about the tournament ... ,"
"Tian Fengji, Long Hu and Xian Juan are unlikely to delay their dealings with us. Besides, what happened to the roof of the room?"
"Last time we saw the roof destroyed by a lightning strike. Did you fix the hole when everyone was unconscious?"
"Oh yes, since surpassing the beast realm swordsman, my instincts have turned increasingly stronger. I don't know why I feel that right now what I'm seeing isn't reality. And I don't know why I feel so foreign to where I'm standing right now. Can you answer all my questions, Patriach?" xia Hu asked while frowning.
"This boy is really hard to trick, annoying," Xiao Tian thought as he put on an annoyed face.
"Well you win, this place isn't a basement of a brawler branch. Everything you see right now is fake, and a mere trick of the eye."
"But you know, knowing too much is not good for you," Xiao Tian whispered as he approached Xia Hu.
"Although that's the case, I can't just ignore the facts. Can you tell me exactly where we are, Patriach?" xia Hu asked while frowning.
"Another dimension, are you satisfied with my answer?" whispered Xiao Tian into Xia Hu's ears.
"In ... other dimensions?"
"Could it be you .. ," Xia Hu had not yet finished his sentence, Xiao Tian stared intently at his eyes with an intimidating aura. The look explained that he did not want it heard by others. Xia Hu instantly fell silent because he understood the situation.
"Good, be a good student and practice diligently. Don't ask me too many questions, okay?" xiao Tian asked as he patted Xia Hu on the shoulder. Xiao Tian let out a domineering pressure to hint that he did not want to be asked again.
"A .. I understand, patriach," Xia Hu said with a trembling body.
After silencing Xia Hu's mouth, Xiao Tian chose to keep his distance from the other disciples to avoid asking questions.
A short distance away from the position of the disciples, Sunlong who was still in the space ring expressed his curiosity by saying, Sunlong,
"Thanks to the scrolls you gave them, you don't have to spend time training directly."
"As long as they practice, will you just observe or do anything else?"
asked Sunlong through telepathy.
"Of course I'll take advantage of my time to practice as well. But not in front of them," Xiao Tian replied via telepathy.
"What technique do you want to develop?" asked Sunlong through telepathy.
"You'll know after seeing it, but first we have to find that silly God first" Xiao Tian said by telepathy.
"That's it, I get it" Sunlong said by telepathy.
Xiao Tian flicked his finger again to signal the red fox demon king, right after his finger was snapped the red fox demon king appeared right before him. Despite being right in front of Xiao Tian, the disciples could not see the body of the red fox as they were still bound in their illusions.
"Hail your Majesty, is there anything I can do again?" ask the red fox demon king while paying his respects.
"I'll be gone for a while, you keep an eye on their training from within the shadows. Keep your body hidden from their sight with illusion techniques," Xiao Tian said through telepathy.
"Hamba understands your majesty" said the red fox demon king while saluting.
"Oh yeah, I'll be gone all day. If you and your men are hungry, eat out of the array so they don't smell your food" Xiao Tian said by telepathy.
"Relax your majesty, our cultivation is sufficient enough to withstand hunger for two days. Watching the day without eating is not a problem for us" said the king of the red fox demon while saluting.
"That's true if you're outside the Array and don't use much qi power to realize the illusion technique. Unlike the other array arrays, the array we are currently entering has a certain effect. One of the effects can make the human race survive without eating for an entire week."
"While the adverse effects are acceptable to other races. No matter how high and strong the cultivation of a race, they would still feel hungry if not from the human race," Xiao Tian explained through telepathy.
Kruyukkkk.
"It seems that the effect is starting to feel, go eat in turn so that the illusion does not disappear" Xiao Tian said by telepathy.
"Okay, your majesty" said the king of the red fox demon while saluting.
Shortly after, the red fox demon king disappeared again in XiaoTian's sight.
"After you tell me about the effects of this array, I somehow felt hungry as well. Can we go now?" asked Sunlong through telepathy.
"Oh, sorry for making you wait," Xiao Tian said through telepathy while activating the teleportation technique.
"Wait for patriach, where are you going?" said Xia Hu who had just realized that his patriach body was starting to fade.
Shortly after, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
