Chapter 46: Devouring the Inheritance Jade Slip, Becoming a First Tier Alchemist

However, there is no rush to practice a Body Refining Technique; after all, this is not something that can be accomplished in a single day.

It is also impossible for him to just casually find any Body Refining Technique to practice.

Therefore, this matter still needs to be considered carefully.

"Aside from cultivation, other progress can be considered quite good."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

During these three months, his skills in Runes, Array Formation, Sword Dao, and so on have also made significant progress.

After all, having reached the mid-grade, or perhaps the high-grade realm, the progress of cultivation will also slow down significantly; this is a matter of course, and his three Dao Companions are currently only at the high-grade realm.

Up until now, the experience points gained from them have also been constantly decreasing.

"I didn't expect to actually be able to advance to the realm of a First Tier Mid Grade Array Master."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes; he sensed that various basic knowledge regarding first-tier arrays was emerging from the depths of his consciousness, and this array knowledge all came from Xia Jingyan.

It must be said that Array Formation is definitely the most difficult skill among the Four Arts of Cultivation.

To successfully set up an array, one needs to learn various Array Nodes and calculate the best placement for the array, all of which require extremely strong computational ability.

If it were just a single array, that would be one thing, but sometimes it is necessary to set up multiple arrays, which also requires calculating the nodes for the perfect fusion of arrays so that different arrays do not affect each other, thereby causing the setup to fail.

Without sufficient comprehension, it is simply impossible to get started.

This is just like mathematics; if you know it, you know it, and if you don't, you don't; others cannot help.

But by relying on the array knowledge obtained from Xia Jingyan, he still managed to advance to the realm of a mid-grade Array Master.

Relying on his current knowledge, as long as he has enough materials, he can simply set up ordinary first-tier arrays, such as the Cloud Rain Array, the Spirit Gathering Array, the Golden Light Defense Array, and so on.

Undoubtedly, not to mention cultivation, the status of a mid-grade Array Master alone is enough for some Cultivator families to hire him as an honored guest, specifically to set up grand arrays for the family.

After all, a grand array is something every Cultivator family needs; it is indispensable.

"However, the most important profession is still Alchemist."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

So-called skills like Array Formation, Runes, Artifact Refining, Sword Dao, and so on are merely external paths used to improve one's combat power and survival ability.

Only an Alchemist can refine pills that improve cultivation; this is the path to longevity.

After all, if cultivation does not improve and lifespan does not increase, no matter how strong the combat power is, one will just be a pile of dry bones in a hundred years.

Therefore, among the hundred arts of cultivation, only the Alchemist has the highest status.

"Now that another three months have passed, the Lu Family still hasn't come out of the city to find my clone. It seems the Lu Family has really given up. They lost three Lu Family disciples and are actually enduring it; it seems the situation of the Lu Family is really not looking good."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He is very clear about the ruthlessness of the Miyun City Lu Family; the Lu Family is famous for seeking revenge for the slightest grievance. Any Cultivator who kills a Lu Family disciple will definitely be hunted down to the end.

If it weren't for such a fierce reputation, Miyun City would not be so safe, and not many Cultivators would dare to run wild in the city.

But now, their own family disciples are dead, and the other party doesn't even dare to leave the city to track them down.

Obviously, this is not because his own fierce reputation has scared the Lu Family.

It is because the Lu Family's situation is not good right now, and they simply dare not leave the city.

So even if family members are dead, facing the situation where the culprit is unknown, they still dare not act rashly, fearing they might fall into a trap.

"If that's the case, then I'll send the Book Gu over first to devour those Alchemist inheritances."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

Anyway, he doesn't need the clone to bring the Treasure back; as long as the Book Gu devours the Inheritance Jade Slip, it will obtain the information inside, so the main body will not be under any threat.

This is also a foolproof plan.

Even if the Lu Family left some special means in the inheritance, it would be unable to do anything to him.

…………

One day later, Zhou Sui's second clone left the city, carrying the Book Gu, and arrived at the place where the first clone was hiding.

Crack! Crack! ~~~

Seeing the First-tier Alchemist Inheritance jade slip, the Book Gu felt very excited, immediately pounced on it, and began to devour.

Whoosh! ~~~

The next second, Zhou Sui, who was staying at home, immediately sensed the vast inheritance knowledge regarding the First-tier Alchemist through the connection with the Book Gu, surging over like a flood.

"It's actually this complete?!"

Zhou Sui was very surprised; he felt that the Alchemist inheritance purchased from the Lu Family was truly worth it, as it contained such vast information.

First, an Alchemist needs to master a great deal of knowledge. The first step is to identify herbs and Spirit Medicine, and to know the age, attributes, and so on of the Spirit Medicine. This point alone takes an Alchemist at least several years, or even more than a decade.

The second step is to purify the Spirit Medicine, because some Spirit Medicine cannot be used in its entirety; one can only use the beneficial parts and exclude the highly toxic components and so on.

The third step is to know the characteristics of Spirit Medicine of various types, which ones conflict, and which ones can be fused.

Besides this, an Alchemist also needs to master various techniques of alchemy, such as fire-based alchemy, water-based alchemy, lightning-based alchemy, earth-based alchemy, metal-based alchemy, and so on.

When refining pills, one also needs to pay attention to the heat and so on.

But this Alchemist inheritance knowledge was all accumulated by predecessors over time; if it weren't for possessing a complete inheritance, the knowledge inside would not be so abundant.

Undoubtedly, spending thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones to buy this First-tier Alchemist inheritance was indeed worth it.

Of course, that Shopkeeper Lu might not have wanted to leak this complete inheritance at first, intending to gain both the person and the wealth, and to kill for the Treasure, but the Lu Family disciples sent were killed by him instead.

Although this was a poisoned candy, he still ate it.

Making the Lu Family lose both their wife and their soldiers.

"The First-tier Alchemist inheritance is already this complete; could it be that the Lu Family also has a Second-tier Alchemist inheritance?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui could not help but feel his heart flutter.

If he could obtain the Lu Family's Second-tier Alchemist inheritance, then he would definitely be able to become a Second-tier Alchemist in the future. By then, he wouldn't need to beg anyone; he alone would be able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He also remembered the memories he had previously obtained from those few Lu Family disciples; he clearly knew that the Lu Family's inheritance was hidden in the Scripture Pavilion of the Lu Family mansion.

This Scripture Pavilion stores a massive number of Inheritance Jade Slips, all collected by the Lu Family over more than two hundred years; the value within is simply unimaginable.

"Judging by the situation, the Lu Family will be finished before long; perhaps once the Lu Family Ancestor dies, the entire Lu Family will vanish into thin air."

"At that time, perhaps I can take advantage of the chaos to attack the Lu Family and seize the Inheritance Jade Slips inside."

A glimmer of excitement appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

He could not even imagine how much his comprehension would increase if the Book Gu devoured a large number of Inheritance Jade Slips.

Of course, this kind of matter still requires careful planning and cannot be rushed.

If there is no opportunity, he will not act rashly.
