Chapter 633: then translation of title

He couldn't help feeling anticipation and curiosity: just what kind of person is Incense-Burning True Person, that the entire Lei Huo Dan Ge looks up to him so.

When Lu Yuan arrived at Qinglu Pingyuan, he saw a refined middle-aged immortal seated on a makeshift wooden podium.

Behind him stood a group of young disciples, all attentively watching him.

This immortal wore flowing robes and held in his hand an arcane implement of immortal arts.

This is Incense-Burning True Person.

Lu Yuan's heart surged with excitement; he quickly approached and stood before Incense-Burning True Person.

Incense-Burning True Person lifted his head, smiled at Lu Yuan, then lowered his gaze to examine the young disciples gathered beside him.

"Everyone, I came here today to demonstrate some alchemy techniques and answer your questions encountered in the alchemy process."

Incense-Burning True Person's voice was gentle and melodious.

The young disciples instantly felt admiration, and Lu Yuan was no exception.

He knew he had a precious opportunity to ask about pharmaceutical theory.

"Incense-Burning True Person, may I ask how to resolve a situation where I previously encountered clashing medicinal ingredients that prevented successful refinement?"

Lu Yuan asked respectfully.

Incense-Burning True Person glanced at Lu Yuan, smiled and nodded: "Young man, you've asked an excellent question."

"Clashing medicinal ingredients are a common situation; to solve it, one must start from pharmaceutical theory."

"You need to clarify each ingredient's nature, efficacy, and function, and make a proper combination."

He then began explaining specific cases and solutions; the young disciples present listened attentively to his exposition.

Lu Yuan pondered long, etching Incense-Burning True Person's words deep in his heart, hoping to resolve his internal elixir poison trouble through this opportunity.

After the lengthy and enjoyable teaching ended, as everyone expressed thanks and departed, Lu Yuan suddenly stepped forward, waiting for Incense-Burning True Person to notice him.

"Young man, do you have any questions?"

Lu Yuan knelt devoutly before Incense-Burning True Person: "May I ask, Incense-Burning True Person, how to handle the accumulated elixir poison in the body and some mutually contradictory ingredients that are hard to combine during elixir refinement?"

Incense-Burning True Person paused, his gaze fixed on Lu Yuan: "Young man, you have already realized the elixir poison problem and are willing to resolve it."

"That is a correct decision."

"For accumulated elixir poison and contradictory ingredients, the best method is to find a balance point allowing them to coexist."

"This requires a deeper understanding of pharmaceutical theory and courage."

Lu Yuan listened entranced, knowing he was receiving Incense-Burning True Person's teachings bit by bit.

"However, when dealing with these issues one must be extremely careful, because medicinal effects sometimes produce reactions."

"I suggest you start from the basics, re-study the refinement methods, and slowly develop your own approach."

Lu Yuan remained kneeling: "Thank you, Incense-Burning True Person, for your guidance."

Incense-Burning True Person smiled and rose: "Young man, talent and ability are merely indispensable parts of success."

"On the path of cultivation, perseverance, patience, and wisdom are equally important."

"Diligence and progress is an excellent quality you possess."

Lu Yuan devoutly accepted Incense-Burning True Person's instructions and teachings.

Lu Yuan looked at the myriad cultivators before him, feeling both excited and nervous.

This was his first opportunity to display his alchemy skills before so many cultivators.

He deeply knew he still had many shortcomings in alchemy, yet he also believed in his effort and talent.

Incense-Burning True Person scanned the crowd, his gaze settling on Lu Yuan, and he smiled and nodded.

He gestured for Lu Yuan to step forward.

"Young man, I notice you stand out due to your profound understanding between immortal arts and talismans."

Incense-Burning True Person's voice was gentle and melodious: "I would love to hear your thoughts."

Lu Yuan stepped forward with a quickened heartbeat, his face showing pride and nervousness.

"Incense-Burning True Person, I have conducted in-depth research on talismans and immortal arts."

"During refinement, I use talismans to assist in controlling heat and balancing medicinal properties."

Lu Yuan expressed his view unreservedly: "I believe that combining talismans with immortal arts can improve elixir quality and resolve some contradictory ingredient problems."

Incense-Burning True Person gazed deeply at Lu Yuan: "Your idea is very creative."

He nodded approvingly: "Immortal arts and talismans can mutually assist, achieving better elixir refinement results."

"That is a fine direction."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh in relief, encouraged he continued: "At the same time, I also noticed that the interactions between medicinal ingredients during refinement are very important."

"I have tried to solve some clashing troubles by altering the pairing order and quantities."

"Incense-Burning True Person laughed encouragingly: 'Very good!'"

"During elixir refinement, we need a comprehensive, deep understanding of each ingredient's nature and efficacy, and be skilled at grasping their interaction relationships."

"You have already taken an important step."

Several days passed, Lu Yuan returned to Lei Huo Dan Ge, continuing his work and cultivation.

He sat in the alchemy chamber, with various rare medicinal ingredients and talismans placed around him.

Lu Yuan began putting into practice the knowledge he learned from Incense-Burning True Person, attempting to craft special medicines for external emergencies.

He carefully took out a stalk of medicinal herb named "Purple Crystal Flower," which possesses extremely strong wood-attribute energy but also deadly poison.

Lu Yuan closely observed this vibrant Purple Crystal Flower and compared it with the records on the talisman.

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he suddenly had an idea.

"If I could master the toxicity of this Purple Crystal Flower and transform it into a beneficial force for cultivators' bodies, wouldn't that solve minor elixir poison problems?"

Lu Yuan felt a surge of satisfaction and joy in his heart.

He began implementing his idea, adjusting certain proportions and sequences in other formulas, hoping to produce better effects.

Several hours passed, Lu Yuan, drenched in sweat, watched the rising medicinal fragrance in the furnace, his eyes full of anticipation.

Finally, as the fire and efficacy coordinated, a pill with considerable spirituality appeared before him.

The pill displayed a pale purple hue, as beautiful as an amethyst flower.

Lu Yuan carefully took it out and observed it closely.

He could feel the powerful energy waves emanating from the pill, and also sense within it a pure force that repairs the human body's qi and blood and meridians.

"Success!" Lu Yuan burst into joyous laughter.

At that moment, Su Liyan entered the alchemy room, and upon seeing the pill in Lu Yuan's hand, she gasped, her mouth wide open. (End of chapter)
