It's that man in white from the Yinhua Auction House!
This world is too small.
The newly arrived head alchemist is none other than Bai Shu, a fourth-grade alchemist from the Pill Alliance!
Bai Shu nodded slightly to her, clearly recognizing Qi Yu as the person who had brought the Grade 3 wound medicine to the auction that day.
Qi Yu bowed respectfully to Bai Shu.
This is a fourth-grade alchemist! And unlike Jin Dan, who is just seeking fame and fortune, Master Bai Shu looks very upright.
If she wants to go far in the art of alchemy, she will need the guidance of this master. Being respectful and leaving a good impression would be a good thing.
The other disciples in the alchemy room noticed Bai Shu's attitude towards Qi Yu and wondered to themselves, "Could it be that Qi Yu's third-grade pills were made by this new master?"
No wonder Qi Yu had the guts to challenge Jin Dan.
The other disciples looked at Qi Yu with a hint of awe.
Some people even had ulterior motives.
Qi Yu herself was unaware that this perfectly natural teacher-student interaction was being interpreted by others as drifting further and further away from the truth.
The bell rang for class, and Bai Shu stood up when no one came in.
"I am Bai Shu, a fourth-grade alchemist from the Pill Alliance. Today, I will begin teaching you the art of alchemy."
The disciples below all stood up and bowed to Bai Shu.
Bai Zhu nodded slightly, and then continued:
"I don't know what your previous teachers talked about, so I'll just give a brief introduction. The most important materials needed for alchemy, besides various medicinal ingredients, are the alchemy furnace and the alchemy fire."
"The higher the grade of the alchemy furnace, the higher the chance of successfully producing pills."
"As for the Dan Fire, it is what we usually call spiritual fire. Apart from the innate spiritual fire summoned by the cultivator with the fire spirit root, you generally cannot obtain other spiritual fires that can be obtained by refining fire seeds. You can use fire talismans instead."
"I just took a look. The alchemy furnaces provided in the Spirit Academy's alchemy room are not of high grade, but they are more than enough to refine some basic pills."
Spirit Fire...
Qi Yu thought of the flame that had inexplicably appeared in her body ever since she signed the contract with Feng Xiao.
Could this be the spirit fire that Commander Bai was talking about?
But with such a powerful fire, can it really be used for alchemy?
Bai Zhu took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a pill.
The elixir was pure white, like a round pearl, and emitted a delicate fragrance.
"This is the first type of elixir we will learn about today—the Rejuvenation Pill."
"Drugs are classified into grades one through nine, from highest to lowest. This Spirit Restoration Pill is a grade five Spirit Restoration Pill that I refined. One pill is enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to restore all their spiritual power."
Qi Yu played with the sleeping little white bird, thinking to himself that this elixir was a good thing. It was indispensable for cultivators to go out and train, and it would definitely have a good market.
Bai Zhu carefully explained the precautions for alchemy and the various materials needed to refine the Rejuvenation Pill.
After finishing his explanation, he casually waved his hand, and a materials package appeared on each disciple's table, containing the materials needed to refine the Rejuvenation Pill and a slender jade slip.
"Today is my first class at the Spirit Academy. As a gift, I have prepared materials for you, as well as various pill refining methods that I have compiled. If you are interested in pursuing the path of pill refining, you can take a look."
Qi Yu opened the bundle, which contained cinnabar, herbs, and fire talismans, and looked much better than the materials she had bought at Yinhua Market.
Although the Spirit Academy also provides alchemy materials, these materials need to be exchanged using Spirit Academy contribution points and cannot be squandered casually.
Spirit Academy contribution points can only be obtained by completing tasks issued by the Spirit Academy.
Every month, the Spirit Academy will post tasks in the Task Hall, such as running errands for teachers, planting spiritual herbs, or hunting low-level monsters. Completing these tasks will earn you corresponding contribution points.
In addition, disciples with contribution points can also issue tasks to other disciples and trade with each other.
But Qi Yu had only just entered the Spirit Academy, and these past few days he had either been dealing with troubles that came his way, going out to do good deeds, or cultivating; he hadn't yet seriously studied the contribution points.
Fortunately, Master Baishu provided them with materials and a jade slip containing the method of alchemy.
She picked up the jade slip and infused it with a wisp of spiritual energy. A vast amount of knowledge about pills rushed towards her, and pill formulas flashed through her mind.
Qi Yu withdrew her spiritual power and felt even more respect for her teacher, Bai Shu.
Besides some basic pill refining methods, this jade slip also contained some lost pill formulas that Qi Yu had learned while reading books in the Scripture Pavilion. Yet Bai Shu so casually handed these pill formulas over to them.
Considering Bai Shu's excited reaction when he learned that someone was selling grade three pills, and his disappointment upon learning that Qi Yu was not the alchemist who refined those grade three pills, this master truly hoped that the art of alchemy could be carried forward.
Seeing that everyone's movements as they looked through the materials gradually stopped, Bai Shu on the podium said, "I will first demonstrate the process of refining the Rejuvenation Pill. The yield of pills in a batch varies. In addition to the influence of the alchemy furnace and the fire, it mainly depends on the alchemist's control of the fire and the precision of the amount of materials used."
"Generally speaking, the materials I gave you can be used to refine five Rejuvenation Pills, three of which are considered acceptable. As you are new to alchemy, it is enough if you can successfully refine the pills."
He took out a cauldron about fifty centimeters in diameter from his storage ring, placed it on the lectern, and then opened a material package.
"Add cinnabar and herbs in sequence..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the alchemy room, interrupting Bai Shu.
A girl in a pink dress pushed open the door and said apologetically, "Master, I'm sorry I'm late."
