In the vast underworld, alchemists have been a highly respected profession since ancient times. They can not only refine elixirs to treat injuries and relax muscles and promote blood circulation, but also refine magical elixirs to increase cultivation and improve realms. There are even rumors that their elixirs can bring the dead back to life and make people immortal.
However, it is not easy to become an excellent alchemist. They need to master a wealth of knowledge about herbs and understand the characteristics and effects of each herb. At the same time, they must be proficient in the extraction technology of herbs and master the principles of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements. These are the hard courses that alchemists must go through, and they need to continue to learn and practice.
Low-level recipes can be purchased at the market, but high-level recipes are often in the hands of large sects. This makes it challenging for alchemists to pursue a higher level. In addition to purchasing and inheritance, they also need to rely on chance and adventure to find those rare recipes.
The natural materials and treasures needed to refine high-level elixirs have higher and higher age requirements. This is undoubtedly a great test for alchemists. Because there is only one medicinal material, they must perform at their best in a limited opportunity. If they are not careful, all their efforts will be wasted.
The grade of alchemists is generally set by the Alchemy Association. From the entry-level first-grade alchemist to the coveted ninth-grade alchemist, each promotion represents a breakthrough and growth in their alchemy skills.
This process is full of thorns and difficulties, but it is precisely because of this that the spirit of perseverance and unremitting pursuit of excellence has made alchemists a highly respected group in the lower world. Their status is second only to those extraordinary monks!
In the mysterious and misty Piaomiao Immortal Sect, there are also many active alchemists. Although their numbers and the level of their alchemy skills are slightly inferior to those of Penglai Fairy Island, which is famous for its alchemy skills, their overall strength should not be underestimated.
It is worth mentioning that within the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, there actually exists an 8th-grade alchemist with profound attainments! You know, looking at the entire lower world, apart from the founder of the Penglai Immortal Island who is a remarkable 9th-grade alchemist, in the past 700 years, there has never been a second top alchemist of this level.
At this moment, above the sapphire-like clear and deep sky, a graceful figure was rushing towards a towering mountain like lightning. This woman was Yourong Rouxue, and her clothes fluttered like a light butterfly flying in the sky.
Not long after, You Rong Rouxue arrived at the top of the mountain. However, the scene before her was quite unexpected - there was only a solitary thatched house on the top of the mountain, which looked quite shabby and simple, and there were few people around, as if it was isolated from the world.
You Rong Rouxue walked calmly to the door of the thatched cottage, then stretched out her delicate hand and gently pushed open the slightly mottled wooden door. In an instant, a cloud of dust gushed out like a surging wave, instantly filling the entire space.
After a long while, the flying smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the scene inside the house finally appeared clearly before the eyes.
The first thing that caught my eye was the back of a thin woman. Her hair, which should have been black and shiny, was now tangled together in a mess, looking dirty and giving people a sense of dishevelledness.
With a slight creaking sound, the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open. However, this subtle sound did not seem to attract the attention of the woman in the room. She did not even raise her head to take a look, but just sat on the worn-out bench like a sculpture.
You Rong Rouxue stood quietly at the door, her eyes fell on the lonely figure in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable helplessness in her heart. She walked into the room lightly, and every step seemed so cautious, as if she was afraid to disturb the woman who was immersed in her own world.
When she got closer, You Rong Rouxue stopped, stared at the scene in front of her, and said slowly:
"Three whole years have passed. Haven't you gotten over it yet? Tan Tai Meng..."
The woman called Tan Tai Meng trembled slightly after hearing these words, as if she was touched by the voice from the outside world. But she still maintained her original posture, motionless, and silent.
After a long time, she finally seemed to have accumulated enough strength and slowly turned around. Her eyes, which had originally been dull, now slowly turned in the direction where Yourong Rouxue was.
What Rong Rouxue saw was a pale face without any blood, covered with a thin layer of frost, which made the whole person look even colder and more haggard. Despite this, one could still vaguely see the beautiful appearance that this face once had, but it was a pity that it had lost its former vitality and energy.
When Tan Tai Meng's eyes met You Rong Rou Xue's, her lips began to tremble slightly, and she said in an almost inaudible voice:
"Hello...long time no see! Sect Master..."
You Rong Rouxue looked at the haggard woman in front of her, her heart ached, and she couldn't help but sigh softly. Then, she reached out and gently held Tan Tai Meng's arm, trying to help her up from the bench.
"Come on, let me take you to wash up, change into clean clothes, and then have a comfortable sleep. When you have rested, I have something important to ask you for help."
Rong Rouxue's words were gentle and firm, carrying a power that was irresistible.
