Chapter 198 Happy Ending Part 4

Not long after, everyone from the surrounding houses came out one after another.

They gathered in the courtyard, chatting softly, but their gazes inadvertently drifted towards Pei Qinghuan, who had been uniquely favored yesterday.

Fu Huaian had placed a Restriction around the courtyard, but not the houses.

Everyone in the family, except Xu Qingyao, had profound cultivation and clear senses; not only sounds, but even sights could be perceived!

Yao Qi and Ji Nan Yuan were old friends with Pei Qinghuan; the trio had often teamed up during their journey to Fulong Province.

The two of them approached Pei Qinghuan and mocked her in low voices; Yao Qi’s words were even more explicit, making Pei Qinghuan extremely embarrassed!

Fu Huaian sat quietly to the side, and when he saw Xu Qingyao and Fu Mu (Mother) emerge from a distant house, a flash of inspiration immediately struck him.

Since he was idle anyway, he might as well take the time to learn Alchemy; Nangong Jingyao plus Xu Qingyao, all three happened to have some involvement in Alchemy!

When Xu Qingyao came out of the house, her small face was even more joyful, as if something good had happened, and she dared to look up at everyone.

After lunch.

Fu Mu (Mother) went to have heart-to-heart talks with them one by one, but Fu Huaian had already pulled Xu Qingyao and Nangong Jingyao away to practice Alchemy.

It wasn’t suitable for the three of them to practice Alchemy directly in the courtyard, in broad daylight, under the clear sky…

Fu Huaian took the two of them to the secret realm pearl to practice Alchemy.

Nangong Jingyao was naturally very willing to teach him, and Xu Qingyao, guided by a Nine-Rank Alchemist, studied even more earnestly.

Only Fu Huaian, who had initiated this, was absent-minded.

The three of them did not enter the main hall; they directly set up the Pill Furnace in the open space among the Spiritual Plants.

Nangong Jingyao instantly transformed into a serious Elder, letting out a soft cry, telling Fu Huaian to study seriously.

Her voice was gentle and charming as she slowly explained the basics, key points, precautions, and some hidden techniques for Five-Rank to Nine-Rank Alchemists to both of them.

Xu Qingyao was afraid of missing a single word, remembering diligently, and even writing things down in a small notebook.

Fu Huaian outwardly showed no signs of being perfunctory; his gaze rested on Nangong Jingyao’s red lips as he listened quietly, unsure if he had remembered anything.

Alchemy is a profound discipline; even though Nangong Jingyao only selected the essentials to tell the two, she spoke for a full hour and only finished half.

Finally, she glared at Fu Huaian and said coldly, “Huai’an, did you remember?”

Fu Huaian rubbed his forehead and nodded gently, “I remembered every word.”

Nangong Jingyao frowned slightly, not quite believing him, and said indifferently, “How can the medicinal properties of Spiritual Plants be perfectly preserved?”

Fu Huaian’s thoughts turned, and he casually pulled out a vibrant red Spiritual Plant from beside him; a small cluster of Heavenly Devil Sacred Flame ignited in his palm, and he casually tossed the Spiritual Plant into it.

The vibrant red Spiritual Plant churned in the Heavenly Devil Sacred Flame, its Impurities rapidly and perfectly stripped away, leaving only pure medicinal liquid, without a trace of Impurities or any loss.

Relying solely on his Spirit Fire, Fu Huaian could already perfectly purify the spirit liquid in the outside world without the aid of a Pill Furnace; his technique was astonishingly exquisite.

Fu Huaian put away the Heavenly Devil Sacred Flame, and a small ball of immortal essence appeared, instantly transforming to match the properties of the spirit liquid; he placed the medicinal liquid within it, and its spirituality remained completely intact.

He looked at Nangong Jingyao and smiled indifferently, “A small trick, easily done.”

Nangong Jingyao was astonished; in that brief moment, Fu Huaian had done more than just preserve the medicinal properties of the spirit liquid.

What was truly impressive was his ability to casually purify the spirit liquid with Spirit Fire in the outside world—that was the difficult part.

This indicated his extreme control over Spirit Fire.

Nangong Jingyao’s eyes sparkled; she had previously thought that Huai’an, constantly staring at her, surely hadn’t remembered anything and was only thinking of her lips, but she never imagined that he had not only remembered but was already able to apply it.

Huai’an was indeed a Genius.

Xu Qingyao looked enviously at the floating spirit liquid, then also grabbed a Spiritual Plant with her small hand, and green Spirit Fire rose from her palm.

She reviewed what Nangong Jingyao had said earlier, threw the Spiritual Plant into it, and after refining it carefully for a quarter of an hour, she looked disappointed.

It wasn't a failure, but the refined spirit liquid had suffered significant loss, with thirty percent of it dissipating into thin air.

Fu Huaian quietly comforted the silly girl: “You’re already very impressive. Comparing yourself to me is naturally overestimating yourself, but compared to ordinary Geniuses, you are considered excellent!”

“You're not allowed to speak,” Xu Qingyao glared at him, pouting.

She was a Seven-Rank Alchemist, yet she couldn't compare to Fu Huaian, who was an Eight-Rank Alchemist.

Nangong Jingyao nodded in approval, and said softly to Xu Qingyao, “Qingyao, your Alchemy talent is indeed extraordinary. Even in Shendan Pavilion, you would be considered a Genius worth重点cultivating. Do not underestimate yourself.”

Xu Qingyao’s expression softened, and she nodded happily.

Next, Nangong Jingyao took out a Jade Slip. The Jade Slip was extremely precious, containing tens of thousands of Pill Formulas from Five-Rank to Nine-Rank!

Such an item, even for a Core Disciple of Shendan Pavilion, required immense功勋 and great contributions to the Shendan Pavilion to use even once.

Clearly, Nangong Jingyao trusted Huai’an and Xu Qingyao immensely, even disregarding the Sect’s rules.

After hearing Nangong Jingyao’s introduction, Fu Huaian took the Jade Slip, pressed it to his forehead, and countless Pill Formulas quickly imprinted themselves in his Sea of Consciousness.

Xu Qingyao’s beautiful eyes sparkled; the Medicine God Valley only had a total of one or two hundred Pill Formulas, so she deeply understood how precious these tens of thousands of Pill Formulas were!

It took them half an hour to memorize the Pill Formulas. Fu Huaian’s expression remained unchanged, but Xu Qingyao’s cultivation was too weak, and her head ached from remembering, making her look quite dazed.

Basic knowledge and exquisite techniques had been taught, and Pill Formulas had been memorized. Next was practical application.

Fu Huaian didn't have a Pill Furnace, so he used a common Nine-Rank Pill Furnace that Nangong Jingyao casually took out.

Nangong Jingyao's personal treasure Pill Furnace was an Immortal-grade one; it wasn't that she was unwilling to take it out, but there was no need for such a good one when learning Alchemy.

Fu Huaian first told Xu Qingyao to wait idly, then found a very difficult Eight-Rank Pill Formula in his Sea of Consciousness, intending to start Alchemy immediately.

However, Alchemy required Spiritual Plants, and the awkward thing was that he remembered the names of the Spiritual Plants in the Pill Formula, but he didn't recognize their appearance!

Nangong Jingyao found it amusing and once again took out a Jade Slip, handing it to Fu Huaian.

It contained records of all Spiritual Plants currently documented in the cultivation world, which was very comprehensive.

The Spiritual Plant record books sold by ordinary Sects or large city shops were far from as detailed as this.

Fu Huaian felt a surge of emotion; Jingyao was truly too thoughtful!

He once again held the Jade Slip to his forehead, and an even greater amount of information surged into his Sea of Consciousness!

A quarter of an hour later, Fu Huaian let out a soft breath and handed the Jade Slip to Xu Qingyao, who had just recovered: “Keep memorizing.”

Xu Qingyao took it with her small hand, her big eyes dull, and her face looking miserable.

Using a Jade Slip seemed convenient, but with a weaker Primordial Spirit, the churning in the Sea of Consciousness was extremely uncomfortable!

Fu Huaian’s figure flickered as he went to look for Spiritual Plants nearby.

Xu Qingyao sighed softly, her small face pale as she absorbed the information from the Jade Slip in her hand.

Nangong Jingyao sat gracefully on the grass, her black hair fluttering, and her face serene.
