The Medicine King had been running around trying to help Cao Rui, but to little avail. Therefore, he risked bringing her directly to the Pill King's Palace.

With their master absent, Zishu, Sihao, and Yexiruo had breakfast together. Knowing the three's status, the chefs naturally served only the finest dishes.

Ye Xiruo and Zishu ate very contentedly, occasionally exchanging glances, which left Si Hao somewhat puzzled.

Aren't these dishes normal? At least in his eyes they're normal. As for the taste, after eating them for so many years, they're pretty much the same.

"Senior Brother, this pearl bun is so beautiful." The pearl bun lived up to its name, small and adorable. Through the thin outer skin, one could vaguely see the flower-like filling inside. Of course, the other dishes were also exquisitely crafted, like works of art. Ye Xiruo estimated that she couldn't master this level of skill even in ten years.

"Every time I go back, I miss the food at Danwang Palace so much." Zishu, with his chubby cheeks, was eating with great effort.

Ye Xiruo was almost the same; she didn't bother to talk and buried herself in her food.

Si Hao picked up two dishes that Ye Xiruo and Zishu both thought were delicious, somewhat puzzled. Aren't they about the same?

"I'm full." Si Hao calmly put down his chopsticks. He received four big stares in return, but the other two acted as if nothing had happened and continued eating and drinking.

"Ah, who can understand the happiness of having a full meal?"

"Who can understand the happiness of eating delicious food?"

"No." Si Hao shook his head seriously.

“From today onwards, I will guide you in alchemy.” Zishu looked at Ye Xiruo.

Ye Xiruo quickly nodded: "Wouldn't this disturb Senior Brother's cultivation?"

"I believe that my talented junior sister will not disappoint her senior brother."

Ye Xiruo nodded somewhat guiltily, but considering that she had the system as her cheat code and the space as her heaven-defying artifact, she figured if she lacked talent, she could make up for it with time. She refused to believe it.

"Junior sister, Master has instructed you to train in the gravity zone for two hours every day."

Ye Xiruo nodded. It sounded like it was for physical training, and she hoped to change her frail appearance as soon as possible.

"Junior sister, if you're ready, we can go now."

Si Hao: "I'll go too."

The Pill King Palace has many alchemy rooms. From bottom to top, the higher the alchemist's skill level, the higher the alchemy room, and the more advanced the equipment inside.

The top layer naturally belongs to His Majesty and another Supreme Elder, who are also said to be Emperor-level alchemists, but they are already old and probably will pass away in about twenty years.

After all, divine masters only exist in legends.

Below are Jing Li and several King-level alchemists, then listed in order of strength.

Previously, Ye Xiruo had simply followed her master to his alchemy room, and her master hadn't told her any of this. After hearing her senior brother's explanation, Ye Xiruo was utterly bewildered.

"So, I'm going to be on the first floor." How embarrassing, there are only a handful of people on the first floor, just like those on the upper floors.

"Junior Sister, don't worry. Our three alchemy rooms are connected on the fifth floor. Master's alchemy room is right above us. The location and facilities are excellent."

"Won't others have something to say about this?"

"Of course not, don't you believe in your own abilities? What if you jump three levels in a month? Wouldn't you have to change alchemy rooms every day?" Zishu shrugged.

"It can't be that exaggerated!"

"Of course I did! I skipped two levels in a month. As a future Divine Master, Junior Sister could very well skip three levels," Zishu said seriously.

Ye Xiruo was unable to refute it. Hopefully, she can really jump three levels in a month and shock the mainland.

In fact, Ye Xiruo was overthinking it. Even if she jumped four levels in a month, wouldn't the alchemists of Taiyan Continent think that this was normal? They were divine masters, which were naturally different from ordinary people.

Although Zishu hadn't returned to the Pill King Palace for a long time, his alchemy room was still kept spotless, and everything inside remained exactly as it had been, which moved Zishu.

Looking at her own private alchemy room, Ye Xiruo couldn't help but feel a little excited. Compared to her master's magnificent alchemy room, this one was much smaller, with almost no medicinal herbs above level five. The center was an open space, presumably for storing the alchemy cauldron. The alchemy hall of the Pill King Palace was connected to a geothermal vein, and the floor was hollow, allowing direct access to the geothermal fire below, convenient for low-level alchemists to refine medicine.

The main point is that only after forming the Nascent Soul stage will the Nascent Soul Fire be generated, allowing for true alchemy without the aid of external forces. Below the Nascent Soul stage, one generally chooses to subdue some spiritual fire, beast fire, or utilize earth fire for alchemy. Although earth fire is not as unpredictable as spiritual fire or beast fire, it does not consume true energy and can also train mental strength and control.

Since Ye Xiruo already possessed the Azure Lotus Heaven, she didn't necessarily need to use earth fire, but it wouldn't hurt to familiarize herself with it. She then familiarized herself with the placement of various medicinal herbs. The morning passed quickly, and around noon, peeking through the crack in the door, she saw her senior brother diligently refining pills. Ye Xiruo gently closed the door, deciding not to disturb him.

"Let's go eat."

"Second Senior Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Wait for you."

"No need for that trouble."

Are you a road?

“I can find someone to take me there.”

Si Hao stopped in his tracks, his indifferent eyes fixed on Ye Xiruo. Ye Xiruo quickly surrendered, raising the white flag: "I was wrong, Second Senior Brother. I'm so sorry for keeping you from eating."

Si Hao turned around and continued walking forward, so Ye Xi didn't see the faint smile on Si Hao's lips.

After nervously finishing lunch with Si Hao, Ye Xiruo was thrown into the gravity training room.

This small room was specially arranged for her by Jingli, and she entered through the side door. It would be too embarrassing if she trained with everyone and her performance was too poor.

After all, no divine master had appeared on this continent for a thousand years. Ye Xiruo's sudden appearance was like a bomb, making countless people cheer and driving countless alchemists crazy.

Divine-grade elixirs haven't appeared in the world for a thousand years.

Ye Xiruo first stretched her body and slowly walked forward. In front of her were more than three hundred black steps.

Ye Xiruo slowly stepped onto the stairs with one foot, then the other, and immediately felt three times the gravity rushing towards her, pressing down on every cell in her body.

Ye Xiruo gritted her teeth and took three steps in one breath. Sweat poured down her forehead, and her calves trembled uncontrollably. The gravity was now ten times stronger than normal, making her legs feel like lead, but it was still within her tolerance. She continued walking forward until the eighth step, when she truly couldn't move an inch. (To be continued.)
