Chapter 1258

After imparting the scriptures, Chen Chuyang lectured his disciple on pill refining, explaining to her many unique insights on Tianwai pill refining and clearing up her doubts—these were problems Xiao Qian'er had accumulated for a long time, resolved all at once.

Next, regarding cultivation, Chen Chuyang focused on explaining that Xiao Qian'er's cultivation was too low; after so long she had only reached the Inner Dan Realm, not even entering the True Realm, which was truly weak. Even if she focused on pill refining, she must also pay attention to her own cultivation. On this point, Chen Chuyang emphasized it.

"Xiao Qian'er, you must pay attention to your cultivation; your cultivation is too weak, your strength is too poor, later pill refining will be very difficult, the further you go, the true qi and soul power required will increase rapidly, you may not even be able to reach the True Realm, your Inner Dan Realm is too poor."

"Regarding this point, you must pay attention; as your teacher, I don't require your cultivation to be very high, at least you must keep up, otherwise you wanting to advance to a higher-level pill refining master would be difficult. You already have Pill Fire now, you can gradually shift to Pill Fire pill refining; earth fire pill refining would be much easier, but earth fire is after all earth fire, its power is limited, later it won't be able to keep up with your pill refining plan."

"You can use earth fire for third-grade pills, but what about fourth-grade pills? Fifth-grade pills? The further you go, earth fire will not be enough; you must understand this, so your cultivation must be accelerated, not stay like this."

Chen Chuyang worried that this disciple neglected her own cultivation, focusing solely on pill refining; this is good, but there are downsides—later wanting to raise her cultivation won't be that easy.

Both should advance together; while young, talent and potential are not exhausted, one should constantly break through, letting one's talent potential continually increase; the later one advances, the lower the talent potential becomes, and the less one can erupt.

Xiao Qian'er's cultivation talent is not bad; compared to pill refining talent, it is naturally much worse—this cannot be compared.

"Master, I understand; I will work hard on cultivation from now on."

These years, she has focused solely on pill refining, neglecting her own cultivation; there's no way around it, the amount of pills needed by Longshe Shan is too great—just for the Chen Clan side, the monthly quantity of first- and second-grade pills required is horrendous, and many pills are things they cannot possess.

The Chen Clan side also tried cultivating pill refining masters, but not everyone has talent; training a pill refining master is already difficult, let alone one who can actually produce pills—it's even harder.

Xiao Qian'er became the Chen Clan's sole pill refining master; you should know that besides using them themselves, the Chen Clan constantly sells pills to exchange for more materials, which also become Xiao Qian'er's materials for pill refining; back and forth, she naturally has more raw materials for pill refining, improving her pill refining skill.

The two complement each other; neither can be lacking.

Xiao Qian'er's pill refining skill was previously insufficient, making pill production slow; now having advanced to third-grade pill refining master, after being able to produce Dragon Blood Pills, the production speed of many first- and second-grade pills has increased by an unknown multiple—formerly producing a batch of first-grade pills took a day, now it takes only an hour or two, even faster.

Moreover, each batch yields a considerable amount of pills, which also gives her rest time; especially afterward, she basically doesn't need to spend all her time on pill production, allowing her to cultivate in peace.

The pills she has accumulated in hand are enough for her to use for a very long time.

"These years have been hard on you; Master knows my Qian'er has suffered the most. From now on you should devote your time to cultivation, raising your cultivation, only then can you advance more quickly to fourth-grade pill refining master."

"As for the Chen Clan side, I will remind them to train their own pill refining masters, to fulfill the trade and the Chen Clan's needs."

"As for those other sects, they need third- and fourth-grade pills; first- and second-grade pills are also needed, but not in large amounts—they have their own pill refining masters as well; you, however, should focus on researching third- and fourth-grade pills."

"I will see to this matter, and also have Hongxue keep an eye on it."

Chen Chuyang felt greatly relieved; this disciple truly bears hardship without complaint, taking everything upon herself, and over these years has never voiced suffering.

However, Chen Chuyang cannot pretend not to see; he has only this one disciple with pill refining talent, and she cannot continue to suffer.

The other children lack pill refining talent, as do Liu Yuer's aunt's two younger brothers and sisters; Chen Chuhau's cultivation talent is not bad, his planting talent is even better—it's a pity that pill refining talent is truly lacking; otherwise, another could be trained.

As for the little daughter, there's no need to even think about it.

In short, Xiao Qian'er's side needs to reduce pill demand, while the Chen Clan side is also trending toward stability, not needing so many pills.

Spirit Sword Sect, Yin Gui Sect, the Monster Race, and the Great Qi Dynasty all trade directly with Hongxue's side, needing only high-grade pills; the Chen Clan side mainly relies on Xiao Qian'er for pills, allowing a reduction here.

Chen Chuyang can provide a sum for them to use temporarily; we must not ruin Xiao Qian'er's future for the sake of business.

This is not allowed.

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Qian'er wanted to continue saying it's no problem, but upon meeting Chen Chuyang's gaze, she nodded obediently.

Not daring to oppose the master's meaning, she still felt deeply moved inside.

"Alright, it's settled; spend the next few days properly accompanying your mother—these years you've rarely accompanied Aunt Liu Yuer." Chen Chuyang ordered.

Xiao Qian'er has been focused solely on pill refining, rarely accompanying Liu Yuer.

Although they are both on Longshe Shan, Xiao Qian'er rarely leaves the Pill Refining Hall; Liu Yuer wants to enter, but only after she emerges from seclusion—yet Xiao Qian'er rarely leaves seclusion, either not pill refining or still pill refining.

Aunt Liu Yuer has complained to Hongxue more than once; Chen Chuyang is still well aware of this.

"Yes, Master." Xiao Qian'er pouted, not daring to retort.

"All right, that's your mother; over these years you haven't properly accompanied her—these days, properly accompany her." Chen Chuyang ordered again.

"Oh." Xiao Qian'er was reluctant; she was a woman with her own opinions, and once she had decided something in her heart, that was it.

"Go."

Chen Chuyang waved his hand; he saw Aunt Yu'er constantly staring over here, eyes strained with longing.

Hope he can let his daughter go out, keep her company, share a meal, and chat.

A family sitting together, this kind of life is what she wants most.

Unfortunately, it hasn't been realized for a long time.

"Will Xiao Qian'er come out?" Liu Yuer clenched her fists, staring at the Pill Refining Hall.

Her eyes filled with worry, fearing her daughter wouldn't come out; she really wanted to keep her daughter company; she knew her daughter was under great pressure, liked to bury everything in her heart; as a mother, how well she understood her daughter.

Finally, she saw a figure, her eyes lighting up.

Immediately she took out a jade slip, notified Chen Shen, telling him to go up the mountain.
