Chapter 136: The Art of Alchemy
Ye Fei looked at Dan Ling with a hint of suspicion in her eyes: "You? Teach me alchemy?"
Danling proudly raised her chin, her expression smug: "Hmm!"
Ye Fei grabbed Dan Ling by the back of his collar with one hand and pulled him in front of her, poking his fair face with the other: "Dan Ling can teach people how to refine pills? Really?"
"You, you filthy human! Let me go!" Danling blushed with embarrassment at being toyed with like this: "I am the famous Danling! Ordinary pills can't condense a Danling like me even after tens of thousands of years!"
Ye Fei scoffed, "Oh, so what?"
"I know a lot more! You might even want to acknowledge me as your master!"
"Accept you as my master?" Ye Fei pinched Dan Ling's face, her smile cold and arrogant: "My master, Ye Fei's master, must at least be a person, and stronger than me."
Dan Ling's eyes reddened with anger: "I...I may not be human, but I am still very strong!"
Ye Fei gave him a disdainful look: "Look, I can lift you up with one hand right now. If you were really that strong, you would have broken free from me long ago."
"Waaah..."
Danling let out a pitiful, helpless, and weak sob. Seeing that tears were about to well up in his eyes again, Ye Fei loosened her grip on his collar with a headache: "Alright, stop crying."
"Then... do you still want me to teach you alchemy?" Danling sniffed, looking at Ye Fei with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.
Ye Fei glanced at him. Although this little thing was prone to crying, she was indeed lacking a guide to help her embark on the path of alchemy.
Without much hesitation, she reached out her hand to Danling. Upon seeing this, Danling immediately burst into laughter through her tears, flew over, and grabbed her finger: "Don't worry! I will definitely help you become a one-of-a-kind alchemist in this world!"
"My name is Ye Fei, you can just call me by my name," Ye Fei said. "Do you have a name?"
Danling paused for a moment, then immediately shook her head: "My master didn't give me a name, so I've been called Danling by him since I was born."
“Then I’ll call you…” Ye Fei’s gaze swept over the lotus pattern on the Purple Jade Pill, “Lotus.”
A flicker of joy flashed across Lian's eyes, but then he remembered something and coughed lightly, "Ahem... You're not my master, how can you name me!"
Ye Fei said expressionlessly, "It's just to facilitate our communication. Don't overthink it. I have no interest in things that are already taken."
lotus:"……"
He snorted angrily, floated in front of Ye Fei, and pressed his hand on her forehead.
Ye Fei frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Don't move, I'm probing your cultivation level and spiritual root attributes."
Lian closed her eyes and said something. Ye Fei didn't move, letting him place his soft little hand on her forehead.
After a while, Lian opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "You're a level six spiritual master at such a young age, and you have innate full spiritual power... Not only that, you're also born with dual spiritual roots, and your first activated spiritual root is wood! You're absolutely cut out to be an alchemist!"
Ye Fei looked at him helplessly: "So, when will you teach me alchemy?"
With a flick of her finger, Lian brought a book to Ye Fei. Ye Fei took it and saw that the cover read "The Classic of Herbs".
"The first step to becoming an alchemist is to learn how to distinguish herbs."
Lian crossed her arms, her expression serious: "I'm giving you seven days to finish reading this Hundred Herbs Classic, and ideally, you should be able to recite it from memory. After seven days, I will take the Hundred Herbs Classic back, and you must pass my test before you can proceed to the next step!"
