Chapter 129 Alchemy Genius (Seeking Recommendations)

Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Alchemy Genius (Seeking Recommendations)The next day. The Divine Thought Hall Master, Gu Qingyang, personally visited Ling Chen’s residence and invited him, saying, "Ling Chen, you must have realized the difficulty of alchemy yesterday. Today, the Alchemy Pavilion Master will perform alchemy himself. Would you like to come with me and see how it’s done?" "Sure." Ling Chen nodded in agreement. Even though he had successfully made an Elixir himself, he had never seen a real Alchemist at work! It was a good choice to gain some experience. "Alright, let’s go then." A smile of joy appeared on Gu Qingyang’s face. From Ling Chen’s demeanor, it seemed that yesterday did not negatively impact him. Soon, the two of them arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion of the Divine Thought Hall. "Hall Master!" The Pavilion Master and Gu Lin hurriedly paid their respects to Gu Qingyang. "Pavilion Master." Ling Chen also slightly bowed in respect. After all, watching the Alchemy Pavilion Master perform alchemy required some protocols. Gu Lin gave Ling Chen a challenging look. Ling Chen, however, disregarded Gu Lin’s provocation. Seeing this, Gu Lin felt even more aggrieved and was determined to become a real Alchemist soon, to avenge the humiliation Ling Chen caused him at Wan Er’s birthday banquet. He was from the Gu family, and although he had never studied the Alchemy Skill deeply, he grew up surrounded by it, making him believe he had a greater advantage over Ling Chen. Moreover, Ling Chen’s naive attempt yesterday to become an Alchemist on his own was utterly laughable. "Shall we enter the Alchemy Room?" The Pavilion Master said and led the way. Soon, the four of them entered the Pavilion Master’s Alchemy Room. Ling Chen looked around; the Alchemy Room was almost similar to the one he used yesterday, with the only difference being its size. Typically, Alchemists crafting Elixirs are not to be disturbed. But to demonstrate and teach two exceptionally talented apprentice Alchemists, he made an exception. The Pavilion Master then began explaining the alchemy process. Ling Chen was listening, but didn’t pay much attention, as the content wasn’t as detailed as he remembered from his inherited memories. On the other hand, Gu Lin was extremely serious. Seeing the contrasting attitudes between the two, the Pavilion Master was somewhat disappointed in Ling Chen. He had thought Ling Chen would take alchemy more seriously after his failure yesterday. However, Ling Chen didn’t seem to pay serious attention. After the explanation was done, it had been an hour. "Now, I’ll craft a Ganlin Pill, watch carefully." The Pavilion Master solemnly said. At this moment, Gu Qingyang also noticed Ling Chen’s lackadaisical attitude and whispered, "Ling Chen, study carefully and see what real alchemy is like! With your experience of failure, you should have a deeper understanding." "Hmm." Ling Chen nodded. Theoretical knowledge didn’t mean much to Ling Chen. His current knowledge reserve was even richer than that of the second-rank Pavilion Master who was an Alchemist. However, he still wanted to observe the specific operations. Seeing Ling Chen start to pay serious attention, the Pavilion Master felt a bit relieved and began crafting the Ganlin Pill. The Pavilion Master was a mid-grade Divine Thought Master with his Divine Soul Realm reaching the late Solid Realm, making the crafting of the lowest-level first-order Elixir a trivial task for him. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But to make it clear for Ling Chen and Gu Lin, he deliberately slowed down his techniques. "The first step, incinerate the Spiritual Medicine." The Pavilion Master said, and his hands moved quickly, throwing a Spiritual Medicine onto the Alchemy Platform. "The key to this step is controlling the flame temperature. You must know, each type of Spiritual Medicine needs a different temperature. For different Spiritual Medicines, different temperatures are required..." "Notice one detail, that is when I store the Spiritual Liquid, I preheat the Jade Bottle with fire. This minimizes the temperature difference between the Jade Bottle and Spiritual Liquid, maintaining the best effect of the Spiritual Liquid." Soon, all four Spiritual Medicines were incinerated into Spiritual Liquid. After completing the first step, the Pavilion Master looked at both of them. When he saw that Gu Lin was taking notes seriously, he was naturally very pleased. As for Ling Chen, he seems quite serious too, but compared to Gu Lin’s learning attitude, there is a big gap. The remaining two steps were also explained in great detail by the Pavilion Master. An hour later, a Ganlin Pill was successfully produced. It was indeed of superior quality. "Alright, if you have any questions, now is the time to ask, and I will answer them." After speaking, the Pavilion Master looked at them both with anticipation. "Pavilion Master, I would like to ask about the control of the fusion of Spiritual Liquid..." Gu Lin quickly threw out several questions, touching on the key points, which greatly pleased the Pavilion Master, and even made him slightly regret not persuading Gu Lin more in the past. Otherwise, Gu Lin might have been a second-order Alchemist by now! The Pavilion Master answered in great detail. "Ling Chen, do you have any questions?" The Pavilion Master turned toward Ling Chen. "No." Ling Chen shook his head. After seeing the so-called second-order Alchemist’s Alchemy process, Ling Chen thought it was nothing impressive. He even felt that his own Alchemy was not inferior at all. Hearing this, the Pavilion Master internally shook his head. Although Ling Chen’s Divine Thought Master talent was above Gu Lin’s, his talent in Alchemy might not necessarily be. "Alright, you two digest what I’ve said for a bit, and you can try your hand at it later." The Pavilion Master said with a smile. After all, both of them were medium-grade Divine Thought Masters with very strong Divine Soul Telekinesis, and making first-order Elixirs shouldn’t be too big of a problem; they only needed more attempts. "Pavilion Master, I want to try." A quarter of an hour later, Gu Lin spoke up. "Sure, go ahead." The Pavilion Master nodded with a smile. During this time, Gu Lin had been meditating with his eyes closed, likely recalling his Alchemy techniques. In contrast, Ling Chen was sitting idle on a chair. "Okay!" Gu Lin gave Ling Chen a challenging look and went straight to the Alchemy Platform. With Spiritual Power in his hands, he injected it into the Flame Spirit Array. He didn’t rush to burn the Spiritual Medicine but first used Spiritual Power to slowly adjust the flame temperature. "Not bad!" The Pavilion Master nodded in satisfaction with a smile. From the opening moves of his Alchemy, Gu Lin was definitely a talent worth nurturing. Following that, almost every step Gu Lin took was an exact copy of the Pavilion Master’s movements, which thrilled the Pavilion Master. He was truly an Alchemy genius! However, in the final integration and burning of the Spiritual Liquid of the last Spiritual Medicine, he failed to control it well, leading to a failed Alchemy. "Very good!" The Pavilion Master went over, patted Gu Lin on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Next time when integrating the Spiritual Liquid, controlling the speed a little slower should do." "Thank you for your guidance, Pavilion Master." Gu Lin responded respectfully. "Rest for now, and try again later. With your strength, you should be able to succeed next time!" The Pavilion Master said with a smile. "Okay." Hearing the Pavilion Master’s praise, Gu Lin was thrilled and looked proudly at Ling Chen before sitting down on a chair and closing his eyes to recover his Divine Soul Telekinesis. "Ling Chen, why don’t you give it a try?" The Pavilion Master turned to Ling Chen. In fact, he didn’t have much hope for Ling Chen. But Ling Chen was highly valued by the Hall Master. If Ling Chen lacked talent in Alchemy, he would also have a reason to refuse Ling Chen.
