She swallowed hard; the unique brilliance of the top-grade spirit stones and superior-grade magic treasures almost dazzled Ye Xiruo. And then there were the countless medicinal herbs, though their grade wasn't high, their quality was excellent.

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard."

Jing Li straightened his sleeves, putting on an air of superiority. He was quite satisfied with his disciple's reaction. After all, these things were stolen—no, no, they were offered as tribute by the disciples themselves. It was better than nothing that he could please his disciple.

"What rank of alchemist are you now?"

This girl has extraordinary talent, and her future achievements are limitless. I'm so glad to have met such a promising talent. No, I must be solemn and respectful in front of my disciple.

Ye Xiruo said softly, "No rank."

Jing Li was about to say, "Although your current rank is not high, as long as you are willing to work hard and not waste your talent, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine." But he was stopped by his disciple's words. What did he mean by no rank? His disciple had no rank.

In other words, his disciple's extraordinary talent had been completely wasted over the past ten years or so, which Jing Li simply couldn't imagine!

"I haven't practiced medicine yet."

The black aura surrounding Jing Li spread at a visible speed, and her alluring and bewitching face was covered with frost.

Ye Xiruo lowered her head and whispered, "It's my fault, I've disappointed Master. But please rest assured, Master, I will definitely work hard. I am destined to become a god-level alchemist." These words now flowed naturally from Ye Xiruo's lips; before, she had no reason to strive. In this unfamiliar world, everything was unfamiliar, and life and death didn't seem so important. After all, she was just a fleeting passerby, leaving no ripples in anyone's heart.

But things are different now. She has the potential to cultivate the Seven Realms, has a master, and could ascend to the highest heavens. Why not work hard? Everything is possible, isn't it?

"Good, good, good! As expected of my disciple, Jingli." Having this ambition is enough, and he will do his best to help his disciple realize this dream.

A god-level alchemist! There are only a dozen or so old men at the king-level alchemist level on this continent, and only three at the emperor-level. As for the legendary god-level alchemist, since Venerable Mo Xuan ascended to immortality a thousand years ago, no one has been able to reach that legendary realm. Even his own master, the most talented and promising alchemist on the continent, wasn't certain.

My apprentice is indeed very much in line with the style of our master! Well! Back then, I was just hoping to keep up with my master.

Ye Xiruo didn't understand why her master's reaction was so strong. He didn't blame her at all. His long, narrow phoenix eyes were full of encouragement and expectation. It was impossible not to be moved.

"Master, don't worry! I will definitely do my best."

“I believe you.” Jing Li took out a thick stack of notes from her ring, which looked as thick as three Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary books.

"These are the alchemy notes of your master and grandmaster. You can refer to them."

Ye Xiruo felt the notebook in his hands was as heavy as a mountain. It could be said to be the most precious thing a pill refiner possessed, and his master had given it to him like this. Such a selfless act of giving, yet Ye Xiruo couldn't see any ill intentions in his master. The system also remained silent.

"By the way, this is a fire control technique. You must master it within the next two days, and ideally, achieve a basic level of proficiency."

Shu's tone was somewhat urgent and worried: "Don't worry, Master, I'm determined to get the Strange Fire." Since the system has chosen me, it certainly won't let me die so easily. It will definitely have a way. With Brother Xiu Qi and Master by my side, it seems we have at least a 60% chance of success.

However, since the strange fire was a matter of life and death for him, Ye Xiruo would naturally not be careless and was prepared to put in his utmost effort to ensure a perfect outcome.

After giving instructions to Ye Xiruo, Jingli left, seemingly in a hurry.

Ye Xiruo didn't care about anything else right now and flashed into the space. Brother Xiu Qi was still healing, and his whole body was enveloped in dense wood spiritual energy, so the situation inside could not be seen.

"System, how long will it take for Brother Xiu Qi to recover?"

"He is breaking through and then building again. He is using this insight to break through." The system was also a little frustrated. These two people are breaking through every few days. There is really nothing new about it.

"That's wonderful! Brother Xiu Qi is about to break through!" Ye Xiruo was overjoyed, even more so than if she herself had broken through. However, she didn't yet understand her own feelings, nor did she know that there was a kind of emotion called longing.

"Hurry up and start farming, do you even know what 'annihilation' means?" The system's sinister tone made it sound like she owed millions.

Helpless, Ye Xiruo went off to farm, huffing and puffing. It was a simple task: dig a hole, plant the seeds, cover them with soil, and water them with spiritual water. Even with such a simple task, doing it hundreds of times left Ye Xiruo feeling like she was about to fall apart.

"System, if I die someday, it will definitely be from exhaustion."

Having exhausted all her true energy, Ye Xiruo took out a mid-grade spirit stone to replenish it. An hour later, her body was once again full of spiritual power. Ye Xiruo solemnly took out the Fire Control Technique, ready to begin cultivating. If it weren't for the system, she wouldn't have had any confidence at all.

"The Blazing Fire Technique," the system quickly uttered.

"Aren't they the same?"

"The one you have is a simplified version, with at least half the power."

"Can you improve the cultivation method? Can you let me practice in a simulated way? Can you speed up my cultivation?" Ye Xiruo asked three questions in one breath, completely seeking comfort.

"Ten high-grade spirit stones for one question."

"Do you really have a way?" Ye Xiruo asked with delight. Now that she was considered wealthy, spirit stones were no problem at all. She had no idea that she had been taken advantage of by the system.

"It has functions like restoring cultivation techniques, simulating cultivation techniques, and practical combat drills. You can barely use the lowest level right now."

Ye Xiruo readily pulled out thirty spirit stones, then turned her face away, still feeling the pain of spending money.

When Ye Xiruo opened her eyes, she found herself in a pitch-black room. A dim yellow lamp illuminated the area in front of her, and then a blurry figure appeared in the light and began to slowly practice the Flame Fire Technique.

Ye Xiruo sat down directly, and suddenly a mantra appeared in her mind, along with a complete route of true energy flowing through her body. She only needed to follow the steps to cultivate, and she had a perfect master in front of her. Only something as heaven-defying as a system could create such an overpowered cheat cultivation tool.

I just don't know if there's anything suitable for Brother Xiu Qi to cultivate with. I believe that with Brother Xiu Qi's comprehension, he will definitely be able to progress very quickly.
