Chapter 1257: Transmitting the Scripture, Drawing a Grand Pie, Xiao Qian'er's Heroic Ambition Knows No Bounds

"Three-grade pill Dragon Blood Pill? Xiao Qian'er is so confident, start refining Dragon Blood Pill." Chen Chuyang was astonished; he stood aside, not disturbing his disciple's pill refining, but he didn't want Xiao Qian'er's batch of pills to go to waste.

Dragon Blood Pill, among three-grade pills, is relatively difficult to refine; its refinement difficulty is comparable to that of four-grade pills. Wanting to refine it successfully is not that easy, but the benefit is that after successful refinement, three-grade pills are no problem in her hands; moreover, with a little accumulation, she can even aim for four-grade pills.

By then, Xiao Qian'er would be a fourth-grade pill refiner, but that's later; for now, her pill-refining skill has reached the level of a third-grade pill refiner, a certainty.

Chen Chuyang was very pleased about this; Xiao Qian'er's talent for pill refining is truly good—most of the time she relies on her own contemplation and self-refining to achieve this step; Chen Chuyang merely took responsibility for initially guiding her into the door, while afterward she relies on herself.

Occasionally coming to give guidance, on the path of pill refining, to move forward one must have sufficient imagination rather than follow routine step by step; this is also the path Chen Chuyang wants her to take, for the future, not just a short-term moment.

He could completely teach Xiao Qian'er pill refining in a cramming style; that way, she could quickly become a third- or fourth-grade pill refiner, but then her future would be ruined—if she wanted to improve later, the time and effort required would be dozens of times more, and she might still not gain any insight.

By walking her own path and having her own imagination, her future would not be fixed, thus allowing multiple ways of development.

This is the future Chen Chuyang has chosen for Xiao Qian'er; the early stage is difficult, but once she gets past it, the road ahead will be bright.

"Hum." The refinement of the Dragon Blood Pill had reached the later stage; Chen Chuyang kept standing, his smile continually building.

His eyes full of satisfaction, this disciple had done it; the Dragon Blood Pill had reached this point, basically it would not fail.

Xiao Qian'er's cultivation had also improved considerably; her inner core had reached the third heaven of inner dan, she had been condensing the dan for a long time—Chen Chuyang didn't know, or rather, this girl had undergone tribulation on her own, needing no help from Chen Chuyang; this point, Chen Chuyang still felt guilty, after all she is his disciple, and he had neglected her too much.

After two hours, the pill was finished.

Xiao Qian'er took out the Dragon Blood Pills; although there were only three, it was not bad—the successful refinement of this batch of Dragon Blood Pills signified Xiao Qian'er's full advancement to third-grade pill refiner; third-grade pills in her hands posed no difficulty anymore.

Having obtained the pills, Xiao Qian'er jumped up excitedly; then she saw Chen Chuyang watching from not far away, and her face involuntarily flushed.

Obediently, she walked up to Chen Chuyang's front, performed a respectful salute: "Master, you've come?"

"When did you arrive?"

Chen Chuyang said indulgently: "I've been here a while; just now you were refining pills, as master I didn't disturb you, Xiao Qian'er, very well done—Dragon Blood Pill refinement succeeded; from today onward you are a third-grade pill refiner, and thereafter you may graduate."

He reached out, wanting to caress this disciple, only to realize that this disciple had grown up, no longer the little girl she once was.

The graceful, poised maiden—those former gestures were no longer suitable.

He hastily withdrew his right hand, replacing it with a smiling face: "Master is very pleased; you've grown up, and you can be considered a true pill refiner."

A third-grade pill refiner is merely the beginning, a true beginning.

After all these years of effort, Xiao Qian'er can be considered ready to graduate.

"Master, I still have a long way to go; compared to you, Master, I'm far behind." Xiao Qian'er was not arrogant, but the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.

Her heart felt lovely; being acknowledged, praised, and complimented by her master, she was truly happy—if Chen Chuyang weren't here, she would jump up right away.

"It's not far off; you have already stepped onto the path of pill refining; in the future, your pill-refining skill will improve quickly; the early foundation-establishment stage has already passed; your future is bright."

"Afterward, let Hongxue give you some added responsibility, striving to advance to fourth-grade pill refiner as soon as possible."

Chen Chuyang looked at his disciple before him, feeling very pleased, then raised his hand and transmitted the Po Luo Elixir Canon to this disciple; the entire scripture was given to her—this is his eldest disciple, and also his most outstanding disciple.

The first half of the Po Luo Elixir Canon was given entirely to this disciple; with this half-scripture, Xiao Qian'er's future path of pill refining needs no worry.

This is Chen Chuyang's version of the Po Luo Elixir Canon, with many annotations and his own insights, having modified some parts; of course the original is also inside, see how Xiao Qian'er understands and comprehends it.

"Master, what is this?" Xiao Qian'er's face turned completely red, frightened by the scripture appearing in her mind.

The first half of the Po Luo Elixir Canon covers much pill-refining knowledge, all the way up to seventh-grade pills—how to refine them, techniques, and the refining of various pills, plus annotations on some formulas, etc. —all are included.

It also contains Chen Chuyang's annotations, dense and numerous; this is a true scripture, a true inheritance.

"The Po Luo Elixir Canon—only the first half; as master I also only have this much; you should carefully comprehend the Po Luo Elixir Canon; once you fully understand this scripture, you will become a pill-refining grandmaster, and catching up to master in the future will also be quite simple."

"The second half of the Po Luo Elixir Canon is still being sought; when master finds it, I will give it to you."

Xiao Qian'er immediately bowed: "Thank you, Master."

She knew what this represented—it meant that for the next several decades she would not need pills; the Po Luo Elixir Canon contains many explanations, a very systematic pill-refining scripture, a supreme treasure; the importance of this half-book is clear to Xiao Qian'er naturally—she is no longer the ignorant little girl who knew nothing before.

Such a book, even if only a part were to be spread, would plunge this world into disaster.

And the master directly gave it to her.

This trust, this gratitude, is truly immense.

"Master, disciple……"

Chen Chuyang waved his hand: "Enough, don't be hesitant; you are my disciple, the master's things are naturally yours as well."

"Comprehend it well, don't let the master down; when you have comprehended this scripture, then master will take you to gallop through Tianwai."

Xiao Qian'er's heart brimmed with heroic ambition: "Yes, Master."

She also wanted to go to Tianwai, or rather, all geniuses want to conquer Tianwai; she too wanted to witness Tianwai's pill-refining arts.

Together with master, to be master's backing.

"Disciple will certainly not let master down." Xiao Qian'er clenched her fists and spoke firmly.

"Hahaha, master awaits that day; when it comes, we master and disciple will conquer Tianwai." Chen Chuyang laughed heartily; that scene will be most magnificent.

"Good." Xiao Qian'er made up her mind inside; she will certainly achieve it.

That day, she greatly looks forward to it.
