Chapter 255: Learning Alchemy

The next morning, Lin Zhangqing completed his basic cultivation tasks.

Today he prepared to go to the Spirit Pill Pavilion to find Sixth Grandfather to learn alchemy, but he couldn't go empty-handed, so Lin Zhangqing activated the Small Five Elements Illusion Array and entered the inner space.

The first thing he did was to notify Zhao Yuli through the golden rune in his sea of consciousness to prepare two boxes of Green Jade Spirit Tea for him.

Soon after, the deer came over, bleating "You-you!" incessantly. Lin Zhangqing hurriedly took out the Spirit Nurturing Pills and fed them all. They were all Lin Zhangqing's heart and soul treasures, so he couldn't neglect them.

Then he petted and groomed them, busying himself for quite a while before letting them go off to play on their own. Lu Xiaoling and Lu Xiaomin wanted to stay and play with him, but they were driven away by Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing returned to the courtyard, to the room specifically for storing war trophies, found the alchemy cauldron, and that copy of the fake second-grade alchemy inheritance, and put them into his storage bag together.

Subsequently, he patrolled the space once more, and when he returned to the courtyard again, Zhao Liyu was already waiting there.

After greeting Lin Zhangqing, she respectfully handed two small and one large jade boxes to Lin Zhangqing.

And introduced: "Master, the two small jade boxes contain the Green Jade Spirit Tea, and the large jade box contains the Longlong Fruit and spirit peaches that you planted yourself. I have selected the ones with the best appearance and put them inside."

Lin Zhangqing chuckled lightly: "You have a heart. Xu Meiniang is still in closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment, you should take more care of the space!"

Zhao Liyu hurriedly said: "The subordinate knows, please rest assured, Master!"

Subsequently, after chatting with Zhao Liyu for a few more sentences and confirming that there were no problems with the space, Lin Zhangqing exited the inner space.

Returning to his room and checking that there were no problems, he went out. He first went to Grandfather's courtyard and happened to meet Grandfather about to go out.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly shouted: "Grandfather, where are you going? If you're not in a hurry, I have something to discuss with you!"

Grandfather saw Lin Zhangqing and said happily: "Little Qing'er is here. I was just preparing to go to the Baicao Garden to take a look. For this period of time, it has been your aunt taking care of it."

"I plan to go see how the spirit medicines and spirit plants inside are doing today. What is the matter with you coming over today?"

Lin Zhangqing pulled Grandfather back into the courtyard, then organized his language slightly and said: "Grandfather, I want to go to Sixth Grandfather's place to learn alchemy!"

Grandfather Lin Fandao frowned upon hearing Lin Zhangqing's words, and then asked: "Why don't you wait until after you Foundation Establishment to learn it!"

"Now you have so many things that need cultivation, and there are spirit fields that need to be taken care of. Where do you have the energy to learn alchemy?"

Lin Zhangqing shook his head and said: "Grandfather, I have a need, so I am going to learn alchemy. Please rest assured, it will absolutely not affect my Foundation Establishment!"

Lin Zhangqing said confidently.

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, Lin Fandao's heart moved, and then he thought of something, so he understood a little. So he said to Lin Zhangqing: "Alright, if you feel it is necessary, then go learn it! I agree!"

Lin Zhangqing said happily: "Thank you, Grandfather. I guarantee it will not affect cultivation. This is the spirit tea prepared for you."

After saying this, he took out a box of Green Jade Spirit Tea prepared by Zhao Liyu from his storage bag and respectfully handed it to Grandfather.

After Grandfather accepted the jade box, the two of them went out together, but Grandfather went to the Baicao Garden, while Lin Zhangqing flew directly to the Spirit Pill Pavilion.

At the entrance of the Spirit Pill Pavilion, he happened to see Lin Changyuan, who was ranked second in the Chang generation. Lin Zhangqing hurriedly greeted him: "Second Brother, are you here to refine pills today!"

Lin Changyuan heard someone calling him, turned around to look, and saw it was Lin Zhangqing. He smiled and greeted him, joking: "Ninth Brother, are you here to find Second Brother to refine pills today? Second Brother will give you a fifty percent discount!"

"Second Brother, what is your level of alchemy now?" Lin Zhangqing asked curiously.

"Why? Ninth Brother, do you not trust Second Brother's craftsmanship?" Lin Changyuan joked. "No, no, I am not here to find someone to refine pills today, I have something to find Sixth Grandfather for!" Lin Zhangqing hurriedly explained.

Lin Changyuan chuckled and patted Lin Zhangqing on the shoulder, saying: "I know where Sixth Grandfather is, I'll take you there!"

"That's great, sorry to trouble you, Second Brother. Second Brother! Is learning alchemy difficult?" Lin Zhangqing asked curiously.

Lin Changyuan didn't expect Lin Zhangqing to ask this. He thought for a moment before saying: "Alchemy! It's alright, learning this requires a little bit of comprehension."

"Memorize the pill formulas and refining methods, then study them carefully in your spare time, and finally, you need a certain amount of practice."

"This stage consumes a relatively large amount of spirit medicine. Many people are stuck at this stage, including your Second Brother, I am also stuck here."

Lin Zhangqing suddenly realized. With what Lin Changyuan said, he actually had a bit of confidence in his heart. The main reason was that he had plenty of spirit medicines and could plant them himself, so he wouldn't feel too distressed even if he failed many times.

"Thank you, Second Brother. With you saying this, I have a bottom line in my heart!" Lin Zhangqing thanked Lin Changyuan.

Lin Changyuan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Ninth Brother, you wouldn't be here to find Sixth Grandfather to learn alchemy, would you?"

Lin Zhangqing touched his nose and said a bit embarrassedly: "I am overestimating my abilities by wanting to come and try. Let Second Brother laugh at me!"

Lin Changyuan didn't feel there was anything wrong with this, but instead started to impart some of his own experience: "Then you must memorize the pill formulas and observe Sixth Grandfather refining pills a few more times."

"Study them carefully in your spare time, and at least have a forty or fifty percent certainty before you start refining pills, otherwise you will waste quite a few spirit medicines. These are all spirit stones!"

Lin Zhangqing knew this was Second Brother's valuable experience, so he hurriedly thanked him earnestly: "Thank you, Second Brother, for your guidance. Little Brother has kept it in mind! I will definitely keep it in mind."

Lin Changyuan nodded and didn't say anything more. Subsequently, he took him through several turns and arrived at a spirit medicine garden.

Lin Changyuan cast several spells on the restriction. Not long after, a crack opened on the restriction, and Sixth Grandfather walked out from inside.

The two hurriedly paid their respects together, "Greetings, Sixth Grandfather!"

Lin Fanxuan saw Lin Zhangqing and Lin Changyuan and said with a grin: "What are the two of you doing? Little Qing'er, are you here to find me to refine pills?"

Lin Changyuan chuckled lightly: "Sixth Grandfather, I have nothing to do. I just happened to meet Ninth Brother looking for you, so I brought him over!"

At this time, Lin Zhangqing also spoke: "Sixth Grandfather, I am not here to find you to refine pills this time. I am here to learn alchemy from you today!"

Hearing what Lin Zhangqing said, Lin Fanxuan was a bit surprised, and then said to Lin Changyuan: "Little Yuan, go do your own things first, there is nothing for you here!"

Lin Changyuan promised, paid his respects, and retreated. Before leaving, he gave Lin Zhangqing an encouraging look.

"You come to learn alchemy, does your grandfather know? Learning alchemy requires a lot of resources. Have you heard of 'alchemy impoverishes three generations'?" Lin Fanxuan warned Lin Zhangqing earnestly.

"Sixth Grandfather, please rest assured! My grandfather agreed, so I came. As for the consumption of resources, we also have a bottom line in our hearts, and we didn't come on a whim." Lin Zhangqing hurriedly clarified the situation.

Lin Fanxuan chuckled lightly: "Alright, since you are all prepared, I have nothing to say! Then you will learn alchemy from me in the future!"

"Thank you, Sixth Grandfather, for fulfilling my wish!" Lin Zhangqing said happily.
