The Disciple Reward System
Chapter 80: This Man Must Be Ashamed

"One year!"

Situ Yufei looked at Ye Xuan, then slowly raised a finger and said proudly.

In the Tian Yuan continent, only cultivators who had reached the true essence realm had the qualifications to become alchemists.

After all, in order to refine a pill, one had to extract medicinal strength from all kinds of natural wealth. This process consumes a lot of energy, and only true essence power, or a spiritual power of a higher level than true essence power, is capable of doing that.

Once a cultivator stepped into the true essence realm, their own spiritual sense would also become stronger, and their level of control over the temperature of the flame would also become more precise.

A great alchemist must be able to accurately control the temperature of the flames at various points of the refining process.

Of course, some people could also become alchemists while at the qi transformation realm. However, they would need to rely on many aids and artifacts, otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to refine a medicinal pill.

The most important thing was, without the support of true essence power, even if one managed to refine a medicinal pill, it would not be of high quality.

Moreover, there were also extremely harsh conditions for a cultivator to become an alchemist.

It was that cultivators had to have the attributes of fire and wood.

As everyone knew, the cultivators of that era had different attributes. The most common attributes are the five elements. In addition, there were also some more rare attributes such as the lightning and ice elements.

However, among the many cultivators, there would also be people without attributes!

In general, a person's attributes are innate. Although one could tamper with it a little, doing so was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.

As for Ye Xuan, she was one of the ten thousand people who had no attributes, which also meant she was extremely malleable.

However, the cultivation of the Thunder Sword Control technique and the Three Thousand Thunder Sword technique, gave birth to the lightning element in his dantian. Each of his attacks would contain traces of lightning. That's very arrogant.

However, Ye Xuan's body did not possess the attributes of fire and wood. Therefore, it was undoubtedly difficult for him to become a true alchemist.

In other words, he could only become an alchemist if he had the attributes of fire and wood.

However, he was not a person who needed to become an alchemist. Li Qingyan had a dual-spirit physique and also possessed fire and wood attributes, so this limitation was not an obstacle at all.

Now, he only needed to learn and master alchemy from a knowledge standpoint, and then pass that knowledge on to Li Qingyan.

As long as he could become an alchemist, he would be able to use the system to obtain some sort of reward that would allow him to become an alchemist.

However, Situ Yufei was unaware of this.

Therefore, in his eyes, no matter how hard Ye Xuan worked, he would not be able to become an alchemist.

"One year? That's not too bad, is it?”

Ye Xuan then picked up the related alchemy book and returned to Lingjiu realm pinnacle.

Situ Yufei looked towards the direction that Ye Xuan had left behind and laughed out loud.

What does he mean by saying one year isn't too bad? Did he not know that those who could become alchemists in a year were all geniuses?

If this person had not hit the wall, he would not have realized how difficult it was to become an alchemist.

Although his talent was terrifying and had suppressed the entire younger generation of cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty, it was not easy to become a true alchemist.

"Ye Xuan, I'll wait for a good show!"

The sect leader and the other elders all knew that Ye Xuan wanted to become an alchemist.

“Hahaha, it's very interesting!”

"Hehe! I can finally see this person getting discouraged. Just thinking about it makes me happy!”

“This guy is totally overrated. With such an incredible talent, why didn't he focus on cultivation alone?”

Lin Qing could not help but feel speechless.

Other people could only dream of having such terrifying talent, yet this person not only did not focus on cultivating, but also wasted his time on studying alchemy. Isn't this a waste of God's gifts?

Ye Xuan's attributes had already been tested a long time ago. His dantian did not contain the attributes of fire and wood. Unless there was a fortuitous encounter somewhere on the way, it was absolutely impossible for him to become an alchemist.

This person had already reached the realm of the core formation. Why was he thinking of becoming an alchemist?

Thinking about this, everyone was confused.

If his talent was average, and he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, it was understandable if he wanted to spend time on the path of alchemy.

However, this person's talent was terrifying. Was this not a waste of time that could be better spent cultivating?

Of course, no one stopped Ye Xuan or persuaded her.

They knew Ye Xuan's character very well. The latter still knew the limits of his abilities. He would give up once he knew he couldn't do it. Moreover, they wanted to see his dusty face!

Time passed quickly and, soon, several days had passed.

All along, Ye Xuan had been studying alchemy seriously. If he found something that he did not understand, he would run over and ask Situ Yufei.

Situ Yufei was not impatient. He answered every question and taught Ye Xuan alchemy based on his own accumulated experience and knowledge.

He explained in great detail about the efficacy of herbal medicine and spiritual treasures, and the precise temperature control required to purify them.

Every time his question was answered, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up. He was completely drunk with alchemy.

Given the value of his comprehension, he could memorize all of the knowledge in books with just a single glance, and could comprehend most of it. He had already reached a certain level of mastery.

Although his dantian lacked the dual attributes of fire and wood, he often simulated the refining process mentally.

Soon, three days passed.

Ye Xuan could be said to have learned all the relevant knowledge she needed about alchemy. At least in terms of theoretical knowledge, he was not inferior to Situ Yufei.

"Are you not going to refine the pill?"

Seeing Ye Xuan was about to leave, Situ Yufei looked puzzled.

This fellow had been studying alchemy for days, but now that he had finally finished studying theoretical knowledge, he had given up on refining pills?

“No need to rush! I'll surprise you when the time comes!”

Ye Xuan did not explain. He tricked Situ Yufei into giving him the furnace and directly returned to the top of Lingjiu.

Situ Yufei looked towards the direction that Ye Xuan had left behind and could not help but smile!

Hehe! He did not expect this person would be afraid of fooling himself. He might want to take back the alchemy furnace and purify the pills personally.

Forget that! This guy must be embarrassed! I'd better learn the pill formula properly! The most important thing now was to learn how to purify the soul-restoring pill.

As soon as Ye Xuan returned to the top of Lingjiu, she called out to Li Qingyan.

"Girl, do you want to become an alchemist?"

Ye Xuan got straight to the point.
