Chapter 71: Learned It After Watching a Few Times

Liang Shitong said happily: "You really have the aptitude; you have a fire-affinity physique. Yang Yu, you can become an alchemist."

"Fire-affinity physique?"

The Bai family members also showed joy.

A fire-affinity physique, while not a heaven-defying physique, is quite good among alchemists.

Yang Yu's talent in martial arts was already excellent; if he could also refine pills, that would be adding strength to strength.

"Family Head Bai, congratulations, you've gained a good son-in-law."

Liang Shitong said to Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng said: "Since Yang Yu has the aptitude for alchemy, I wonder if Master Liang is interested in taking him as a disciple?"

"This..."

Liang Shitong hesitated.

He was certainly interested in Yang Yu, especially since he had witnessed Yang Yu's appraisal ability—even Pavilion Master Lu felt inferior to him.

But precisely because of that, Liang Shitong didn't have the confidence to be Yang Yu's master.

"Uh, since it's inconvenient for Master Liang, then forget it."

Bai Sheng continued.

With a fire-affinity physique, it wasn't hard to find a master anyway; if not him, he could find someone else.

"It's not inconvenient; it's mainly that I don't know Yang Yu's intentions." Liang Shitong hurriedly explained.

Yang Yu said: "Master Liang is a veteran in the alchemy world; if you are willing to take me as a disciple, I would naturally be very willing."

"Hahaha, that's good; I'm also eager for it; this disciple, I must take!"

Liang Shitong laughed loudly, not hiding his appreciation and liking for Yang Yu.

"Damn, this kid really got lucky."

On the other side, Tang Linyuan, who had just stood up and was preparing to leave, couldn't help but grit his teeth and mutter in a low voice.

He had just exploded the furnace, and this Yang Yu had become Liang Shitong's disciple.

It was even more infuriating!

Seeing his expression, the Bai family members couldn't help but mock him:

"What, Young Master Tang is anxious?"

"What you are most proud of is your identity as an alchemist, but now, Yang Yu is one too!"

"What a small-minded person."

"Instead of being jealous of others, you should reflect on yourself more; next time, don't explode the furnace."

Tang Linyuan laughed out loud, saying:

"I'm jealous of him? What a joke; even if I explode the furnace, I'm still a third-tier alchemist! That fact cannot be changed!"

"Although Yang Yu has the qualifications to become an alchemist, he's still a newcomer, not even a first-tier alchemist; does he have the qualifications to compare with me? Even in ten years, he won't be able to catch up to where I am now."

Yang Yu scoffed:

"How many times do you have to explode the furnace before you realize that you are no longer worthy of being an alchemist?"

Tang Linyuan's face flushed red, and he said stubbornly: "You are just jealous of me! The Lingyun Pill is a third-tier pill; it's understandable that I exploded the furnace... If you have the ability, refine one for me to see! If you can't do it, you have no right to mock me!"

"..."

"Damn."

"Truly shameless."

"Do I have to know how to refrigerate to judge whether a cellar is good or not?"

"Yang Yu just started his apprenticeship; how could he learn alchemy immediately."

"And a third-tier pill, is that something a novice dares to think about?"

"This Tang Linyuan is just being stubborn now."

"He's really not a man; he doesn't even have the courage to admit failure."

"Yang Yu, don't pay attention to him; he's like a lunatic."

Many Bai family members rolled their eyes at Tang Linyuan.

Yang Yu, however, laughed and put down the piece of wreckage in his hand:

"Tang Linyuan, you said I can't do it, so I have no right to mock you?"

【Ding! Extraction complete, obtained entry—Lingyun Pill Mastery, rewarded 1000 points.】

Tang Linyuan snorted: "That's right, if you can really refine it, I'll be convinced."

Yang Yu said: "What's difficult about a Lingyun Pill? I've already learned it after watching you refine it three times. Want to make a bet?"

Tang Linyuan was secretly delighted and said:

"Oh? You're serious? You, a novice who just started, actually dare to dream of refining a third-tier pill? And you learned it after watching three times? You're even better at bragging than I am!"

"However, you're the one who wants to bet. If you can't refine the Lingyun Pill, kneel down and kowtow to me three times. If you do refine it, I'll kowtow to you three times."

"Yang Yu, you can't."

The Bai family members immediately tried to dissuade him.

Yang Yu had just started his apprenticeship and had no alchemy experience.

Learning it after watching three times was absolutely impossible.

Let alone a third-tier pill, it wasn't realistic for a novice to refine even a first-tier pill.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yu agreed immediately: "No problem."

"Hahahaha, Master, Master Liang, Family Head Bai, you are all seniors, please be a witness; don't say later that I'm bullying people."

Tang Linyuan was extremely excited, fearing that Yang Yu would go back on his word.

Bai Sheng originally wanted to say something.

But he felt that Yang Yu had only been at the Bai family for two days and had already created so many miracles; perhaps he really could refine a Lingyun Pill?

So he nodded and said: "Alright then."

Liang Shitong also hesitated for a moment, but thinking of Yang Yu's appraisal ability, he didn't dissuade him.

He always felt that there were many secrets about Yang Yu. Alchemy might really not be anything.

"Good, good, I'll be a witness!" Wei Chuan had no objections.

His disciple had already lost all his face; if he could make Yang Yu kneel, it would be a way to regain some ground.

"Then let's start... Oh right, I don't have an alchemy furnace; Master, do you have another one?"

"Hmm... I have a spare furnace; it's not as good as the Zijin Biluo Furnace, but it's definitely enough."

Liang Shitong waved his hand, and a new alchemy furnace appeared in front of them.

After all, it was for his own disciple to use, so he didn't feel any heartache at all.

Yang Yu: "Thank you, Master."

Seeing this, Tang Linyuan felt even more certain that he would win!

This Yang Yu didn't even have his own alchemy furnace, which meant he really hadn't refined pills before.

Refining a third-grade pill the first time he ever refined pills?

He didn't really think that just by watching three times, he could copy it, did he?

A novice alchemist trying to refine a third-grade pill right off the bat—this was suicide.

If he wasn't careful, he would suffer a backlash of medicinal power and might even be blown to death.

If he was blown to death, he deserved it!

"Um... Master, do you have the raw materials?" Yang Yu asked again.

"Yes..." Liang Shitong nodded.

Most alchemists carry the raw materials for such common pills with them.

"No alchemy furnace, no raw materials, and he still wants to refine pills." Tang Linyuan sneered with a crooked mouth, "I think you're just putting on a show."

Many Bai family members were actually a bit unsure and asked in a low voice:

"Yang Yu, have you really never refined pills before?"

"Is this Lingyun Pill really something you just learned?"

Yang Yu said frankly: "Yes."

"Learning it after watching three times, is that really okay... It's fine if you don't refine it, I'm just afraid you'll get hurt."

Someone else said.

Yang Yu waved his hand and said: "Everyone, don't worry; I've read many alchemy books before, and my theoretical experience is very rich."

Then he said no more and officially began refining.

Tang Linyuan crossed his arms over his chest, sitting back to watch the show:

Alchemy is all about practical experience.

Relying on watching and theory is meaningless.

Whoosh!!

Flames rose inside the alchemy furnace.

Yang Yu's expression was calm; after preheating the furnace, he began to put in the raw materials.

"Really putting on a show, still putting on a show even now." Tang Linyuan said, "Master, let's step back, don't get blown up later..." ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
