It wasn't particularly painful.
This is entirely within Zheng Wanning's tolerance level.
Especially when she clearly sensed that her spiritual meridians were widening, this pain was completely negligible.
The pain lasted for about fifteen minutes.
Then it gradually subsided.
At that moment, Zheng Wanning felt extremely comfortable and at ease.
My mind seems clearer than before.
"Wanning, how are you feeling?" Zheng Wuhui asked hurriedly when he saw Zheng Wanning open his eyes.
“My spiritual meridians have expanded a lot.” Zheng Wanning’s eyes were filled with obvious joy. “And I no longer have the burning sensation of blockage when cultivating.”
More importantly, her cultivation level of the second level of the Transformation Realm was instantly promoted to the second level of the Returning Origin Realm.
That's a whole new level!
"Thank you, Miss Bai," Zheng Wu Hui said, cupping his hands in thanks.
"Lord Zheng, you're too kind." Bai Qingqing smiled, then looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, there's something I'd like to tell you all."
“Please speak, sir,” Niu Shanming said respectfully.
"Didn't I say before that the academy would have two classes, one for cultivators and one for children?"
"The cultivators originally planned to recruit fifty people to teach them poetry and culture."
"Now I want to make a change. Of these fifty people, ten should be alchemists who will not only teach poetry and culture, but also some alchemy knowledge."
As Bai Qingqing spoke, she looked at Yuexi and Wukong and said apologetically, "Mother, Wukong, I'll have to trouble you to make some new arrangements."
“That’s easy,” Yuexi said. “Among those who signed up before, there are alchemists. We can just move their spots to the front.”
Wukong did not answer, but began to make plans in his mind.
Zhou Kai, the second elder of the Star Moon Sect, Niu Yancai, the second elder of the Niu family, and Yun Tong, the third elder of the Yun family, are all alchemists.
Moreover, they were already among the first-class spots.
These three people are confirmed.
There are seven people left. We'll carefully select from the list of applicants again later.
“This is a good thing,” Niu Shanming immediately replied. “With your alchemy skills, you will surely produce great masters of alchemy.”
Everyone echoed this sentiment, their eyes filled with envy yet also a touch of frustration.
Why didn't I learn alchemy back then?
Zheng Wanning pursed his lips, clenched his fingers, took several deep breaths, and then said, "Miss Bai, can I be included?"
After speaking, Zheng Wanning lowered his head, his fingers nervously fidgeting with the hem of his clothes.
My heart was pounding.
The tips of his ears turned bright red with nervousness.
She knew that her words were too bold and might even offend Miss Bai.
But she really didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Moreover, she genuinely enjoys alchemy.
Since she was able to cultivate, she has been reading books about alchemy.
Zheng Wu Hui bit her lip nervously.
However, he didn't say anything to embellish the situation, but just looked at Zheng Wanning with affection.
I feel a sense of guilt towards this daughter, in addition to loving her.
Therefore, he was willing to do everything he could to support her.
The courtyard fell silent.
The silence was so profound that Zheng Wanning felt he could hardly breathe, and his legs were so weak he could barely stand.
"You like alchemy?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Mmm." Zheng Wanning nodded vigorously, swallowing nervously, and stammered, "I, I'm learning on my own..."
"Self-taught?" Bai Qingqing smiled. "What have you taught yourself?"
Zheng Wanning knew that this was her chance, and she had to seize it.
He took a deep breath and said, "I have taught myself the properties of herbs, alchemy techniques, and experimented with some simple elixir formulas."
As Zheng Wanning spoke, he took out the pills he had refined.
The surface of the pill was fairly smooth, but without a single blemish.
Niu Yancai glanced at it and saw that it was just an ordinary pill, but for Zheng Wanning, it was already quite an achievement.
Because it takes at least three years of studying alchemy to refine a pill of this quality.
It's clear that he's talented.
Zheng Wanning held the pill in his palm, his face slightly flushed, and said shyly, "I'm a bit slow, this is all I can do for now."
Bai Qingqing took the pills and looked at them.
She had seen these pills in the basic pill formulas in the Yun family's library.
It refers to herbs with similar medicinal properties that are extracted and combined to make their medicinal effects more potent.
She remembered that it took two years of study for a Dantu to have a chance of becoming a Dan.
She was quite familiar with Zheng Wanning's situation.
Because of that older sister, I only started cultivating in the last two months.
Even if one started studying alchemy from the very beginning of their cultivation journey, it would only have been two months at most.
Can it be made into an elixir now?
So, she should be considered talented, right?
People who are naturally talented and love alchemy are easy to teach.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing nodded and smiled, "Okay, count you in."
Zheng Wanning was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.
She had thought that because she had spoken so presumptuously, and given that she had only just begun learning alchemy and her skills were still quite poor, Miss Bai would refuse her outright.
Surprisingly, they agreed.
"What are you standing there for..." Zheng Wu Hui slapped Zheng Wan Ning on the shoulder and said.
Zheng Wanning then realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Miss Bai."
After finalizing the alchemy agreement, Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
While drinking tea, I happened to look up and see Niu Shanming.
Then she remembered that she had a question to ask.
"Master Niu, what was that golden light emanating from you when you were fighting the lightning tribulation?" Bai Qingqing asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Niu Shanming paused.
There are some things I don't know how to answer.
Seeing that Niu Shanming hesitated, Bai Qingqing immediately said, "If it's inconvenient, you don't need to answer."
After all, everyone has their own secrets.
She hadn't thought that much about it.
"Tell the truth to the master." At this moment, Yanxi's branch swayed gently, and a voice transmission sounded in Niu Shanming's mind.
"Tell the truth?" Niu Shanming asked.
“Yes.” Yan Xi said confidently, “But you don’t need to explain. If the master asks, just say you don’t know what happened. No need to say anything else. We will take care of it.”
"Yes." Niu Shanming took a deep breath and mentally reviewed what he was about to say.
Then he looked up and smiled, "It's convenient, but the situation is a bit complicated, and I don't know how to explain it right now."
At this point, Niu Shanming paused for a moment: "The golden light emanating from my body is not a spiritual skill or a magic weapon, but is related to you, sir."
"What does this have to do with me?" Bai Qingqing's curiosity grew even stronger.
"Brother Bull, what are you doing? You're disturbing Master's cultivation of mortal mind," Wukong couldn't help but ask telepathically.
