Chapter 110: On‑Site Alchemy

Fire Fierce Hall Master originally thought Ye Liuyun only had a strong Divine Sense, but didn't expect his alchemical fire to be impressive as well.

This really is like picking up a treasure!

Ye Liuyun was a bit at a loss when he was met with the sudden loud laugh.

Then, Fire Fierce grabbed his shoulder and asked directly, "Kid, are you willing to take me as master and learn alchemy from me?"

"Another apprenticeship?"

Ye Liuyun had only been here a few days, yet another saint was asking him to become a disciple.

But he didn't know these people's character and strength, fearing that if he chose the wrong master, he might someday be handed over to a Profound Heaven Saint!

Nevertheless, he didn't refuse outright this time. He said politely, "Fire Hall Master, I am eager to enter the inner sect; regarding apprenticeship, I would like to discuss it after I have entered the inner sect."

"Huh? He actually refused!" the Hall Master of the Comprehensive Hall heard this and nearly shouted in surprise.

Earlier Fire Fierce had told him that Ye Liuyun refused the Xuanhuan Elder. Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun refused Fire Fierce again!

This kid is really interesting! The Hall Master of the Comprehensive Hall couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Fire Fierce wasn't too surprised either, because Xuanhuan had already told him that Ye Liuyun wanted to focus on martial arts, hence the refusal.

But Ye Liuyun didn't say a firm no; he just said they'd take him back first. Perhaps after staying at the Spirit Pill Hall for a while, he might grow to like alchemy!

So he said, "That's fine, take your time to consider. For now, come with me back to the Spirit Pill Hall, and I'll teach you alchemy first."

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to say, "Yes, disciple respectfully follows Fire Hall Master's instruction!"

"Then let's go right now! You don't need to call me Fire Hall Master; just call me Old Fire." Fire Fierce laughed heartily and reached to pull Ye Liuyun away.

"Yes, Old Fire!" Ye Liuyun didn't dare to call him Old Fire directly, but used the respectful title.

After bidding farewell to the Hall Master of the Comprehensive Hall, he then followed Old Fire away.

Along the way, Old Fire asked him many questions about alchemy and medicinal theory, and discovered that Ye Liuyun truly had never studied those basics.

But he wasn't in a hurry; as they walked, he introduced the advantages of the Spirit Pill Hall and the benefits of becoming an Alchemist, essentially trying to tempt Ye Liuyun to take him as master. Ye Liuyun could only respond with a half‑hearted hum.

"Greetings, Vice Hall Master!"

"Greetings, Old Fire!"

Along the road, people continuously bowed and paid respects to Fire Fierce.

Among them were many inner‑sect disciples and Alchemists, clearly showing sincere respect for Fire Fierce.

"That kid, why is he with Old Fire!"

A newly inducted disciple recognized Ye Liuyun and shouted.

Huang Wenxuan was also startled and ran over to take a look.

"This kid actually clung onto Old Fire!"

When he saw Old Fire's expression, his face grew even more displeased. It seemed Old Fire still valued Ye Liuyun highly.

"That kid can't be Old Fire's newly recruited medicine apprentice, can he?"

"Impossible. Old Fire is very strict in selecting medicine apprentices; last time he even drove out an inner‑sect disciple!"

The nearby disciples whispered their opinions.

Everyone could see clearly that Old Fire gave Ye Liuyun various explanations and admonitions, evidently placing great importance on him. This scene left the onlookers baffled.

Soon, Old Fire led Ye Liuyun to the alchemy site.

"Ye Liuyun?" a surprised girl's voice called out.

Ye Liuyun glanced sideways; the speaker was Ninth Princess Qi Tianyue of the Qi Tian Dynasty.

She was at that moment helping a beautiful lady Alchemist organize alchemical materials.

"Old Fire!"

The beautiful lady Alchemist, upon seeing Old Fire, quickly offered a smiling salute.

"Alchemist Huixin, is this the niece you mentioned?"

Old Fire was in a good mood today, and upon seeing Qi Tianyue, asked her many questions.

Through Old Fire's introduction, Ye Liuyun learned that the Alchemist called "Huixin" was Qi Tianyue's aunt, named Qi Huixin.

"Old Fire, is this new disciple your new medicine apprentice?" Alchemist Huixin asked curiously.

"This kid is a treasure I unearthed, an alchemy prodigy!"

Old Fire smiled with a sense of achievement.

Alchemy prodigy? Him?

Qi Tianyue was startled, as if she hadn't processed it, her eyes filled with doubt.

She never imagined that this ordinary boy she had always looked down upon would be called an "alchemy prodigy" by Old Fire, and that Old Fire seemed especially proud of it!

Alchemist Huixin, upon hearing that, was also stunned for a while. Then her beautiful eyes fell on Ye Liuyun, and she examined him again.

Huixin knew that Old Fire's alchemy technique was among the top in the entire Spirit Pill Hall, so anyone he chose could not be wrong.

Yet she saw nothing remarkable in Ye Liuyun. This left her very puzzled. Seeing her niece's surprised expression, she even began to doubt whether Old Fire had mistaken him.

"Master Ye's nephew, have you studied alchemy or medicinal theory before? Have you ever taken a master?" Alchemist Huixin asked tentatively.

Alchemy and cultivation are similar; both require the accumulation of knowledge as a foundation.

"I've tinkered and forged a few pills myself, but I've never studied medicinal theory systematically, nor have I ever taken a master!" Ye Liuyun didn't hide it. In front of Old Fire, he couldn't conceal it for long, so it was better to speak honestly.

"Just brew a batch of pills directly, so I can see your level," Old Fire suggested to Ye Liuyun.

But to Alchemist Huixin, this sounded rather laughable. How could a boy with no medicinal theory foundation brew pills? It seemed Old Fire was a bit out of his mind today.

Qi Tianyue almost burst out laughing! He hadn't studied medicinal theory yet dared to claim he could brew pills! This guy must be fooling Old Fire. Now his ruse is exposed!

She felt a thousand grievances inside. She had studied alchemy and medicinal theory since childhood, preparing for this day. She didn't expect Ye Liuyun to steal the spotlight.

She actually hoped Ye Liuyun would quickly demonstrate, so she could make a fool of him.

Alchemist Huixin pulled Old Fire aside and whispered, "Old Fire, my niece is a princess of the Qi Tian Dynasty, has studied alchemy and medicinal theory since childhood, and in both talent and cultivation far surpasses this Ye Liuyun…"

Alchemist Hui Xin, brimming with confidence, recommended Qi Tianyue to Huo Lao. In her view, her own princess niece was far more reliable than this Ye Liuyun!

At this moment, Huo Lao's attention was entirely on Ye Liuyun, and he didn't even hear what she was saying.

Ye Liuyun paid no heed to their gazes, directly took out the pill cauldron and herbs, and began refining the most familiar Condensing Yuan Pill.

He first retrieved some herbs, then warmed the cauldron with true fire in one hand while taking the medicine with the other. The amount he took was the same as the quantity he normally uses to brew thirty pills.

Then he added the medicine, extracted, tempered, and condensed the pill…

All his movements flowed like clouds and water, completed in a single breath.

Even Alchemist Hui Xin, who had been speaking, stopped and stared at Ye Liuyun in shock.

Qi Tianyue was even more astonished. She didn't understand the alchemy techniques well, but she knew true fire.

"He's only at True Yuan Fifth Tier, and he can already use true fire to refine pills?" Upon reading this, she was profoundly shocked. Moreover, Ye Liuyun's movements were smooth and decisive, as if he were a master alchemist.

Ye Liuyun's fire control process was also flawless.

After seeing this, Alchemist Hui Xin's breathing grew tense! It seemed she had underestimated Ye Liuyun and Huo Lao's insight. This youth truly was extraordinary! Even the pill fire alone was beyond what ordinary people could wield!

What Ye Liuyun is now displaying already rivals that of a Mysterious Tier Alchemist!

The three of them watched silently. Especially Huo Lao, whose eyes showed admiration.

Without studying pharmacology or apprenticing under a master, he could reach such a level. This youngster truly is an alchemy prodigy!
