Jin Ji stood silently at the pavilion outside the Medicine Hall for a long time, and then sighed deeply.

After sighing, he suddenly seemed much more relaxed, and his whole demeanor seemed to be different from before, with a less obvious change.

It seems like I have let go of something and become much more relaxed.

"Long Ming"

Standing under the pavilion, he spoke after a while.

"Disciple is here."

Chen Changming took a step forward and walked in front of Jin Ji.

"How is your tempering practice going?" Jin Ji asked.

"I can already master it initially."

Chen Changming nodded, looked calm and spoke calmly.

After the words fell, Chen Qingyi on the side couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and his mood became a little complicated.

She has followed Jin Ji since she was a child, learning pharmacological elixirs from Jin Ji's side, and the art of quenching is naturally among them.

But until now, she has not really mastered the quenching process and is still exploring.

But Chen Changming, who studied under her for only a few months, has now reached this stage.

She has completely surpassed her senior sister.

This can't help but make people feel complicated, and they don't know what to say.

But looking at Chen Changming, although Chen Qingyi's mood was slightly complicated, she was sincerely happy for Chen Changming, and no bad emotions surfaced.

Jin Ji also had a smile on his face.

For a talented student like Chen Changming, it can be said that he has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Now that I heard about his progress, I wasn't surprised at all.

"Once you have mastered the quenching technique, you can start the next step."

Jin Ji nodded, smiled and said to Chen Changming: "From tomorrow on, you can put down other things on your hands and work with me in the alchemy room every day to refine elixirs."

This is what it means to enter the next stage and officially teach Chen Changming the art of alchemy.

Hearing this, Chen Changming's face was very calm. He didn't mean to be too excited. He just nodded calmly: "Yes."

Jin Ji nodded, without saying anything else, turned around and returned to his room.

From the looks of it, he should have gone to rest.

No wonder.

For more than two months, I never left the alchemy room and just stayed in a room refining alchemy. No matter who I was, I would be exhausted.

Now that the alchemy is over, it's time to take a good rest.

Standing quietly, Chen Changming watched Jin Ji's figure leave, until Jin Ji's figure completely disappeared from his sight.

A figure silently walked up behind him and patted his shoulder gently.

Chen Changming turned around and happened to see Chen Qingyi smiling at him behind him.

She was wearing a light white robe, and although her appearance was not particularly stunning, she was very delicate and had a gentle temperament.

From the horizon, the faint golden sunlight spread down and fell on her body, as if she was wearing a layer of golden clothes, making her skin look whiter, tender and delicate.

Although he is small in stature, he is very unique in Chen Changming's eyes.

"come on."

Chen Qingyi smiled and cheered for Chen Changming, while smiling: "Maybe in a few years, I can help you."

"It can't be that fast."

Chen Changming smiled: "It's still far away."

"Not always."

Chen Qingyi shook his head: "It's only been five months since you started."

"Five months ago, you didn't know anything, but now, you have grown to this point."

"Who can guarantee what you will look like in five months?"

"It's probably still like this."

Chen Changming lowered his head and thought for a moment: "It won't turn into a monster after all."

Chen Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

They chatted here for a while, and then left the place together.

The next day, as Jin Ji asked, Chen Changming walked to the alchemy room.

In the alchemy room, Jin Ji was already sitting upright, looking like he had been waiting for a while.

Seeing Chen Changming enter, he smiled and pointed at the alchemy cauldron in front of him: "Try it."

"good."

Chen Changming nodded, then stepped forward in front of Jin Ji and began to operate.

His quenching technique was embodied from Jin Ji's projection, and theoretically speaking, he directly inherited Jin Ji's level.

Coupled with the familiarity he had gained over this period of time, a simple tempering process was not a problem for him.

In just a short period of time, the strong alchemy fire began to ignite and ignited under the alchemy cauldron.

"well done."

Looking at the alchemy fire burning in front of him, Jin Ji sighed sincerely: "Your talent in alchemy is really enviable."

"This fire is very good."

He looked at the elixir fire burning in front of him, gave his own evaluation, and then continued: "If you want to refine elixirs, controlling the elixir fire is one of the most important things."

"If you cannot master the alchemy fire well, you cannot be considered a qualified alchemist."

"It's a pity that you are not a true near-immortal yet."

He shook his head with some regret and said this.

Chen Changming's heart moved: "Is he a near-immortal? Does it have anything to do with alchemy?"

"Of course it does matter."

Jin Ji nodded: "In fact, the first batch of alchemists came from the near-immortals."

"Only a true near-immortal can condense the real elixir fire and refine the real elixir."

"At that time, the refined elixir will have truly incredible changes."

"Mortals like me, even if we master some rudimentary alchemy skills, but without the magical power of an immortal, we cannot condense the real elixir fire, we can only refine some ordinary elixirs."

"Elixir, magical elixir"

Listening to Jin Ji's words, Chen Changming nodded thoughtfully.

"I have no chance in this life."

Looking at Chen Changming, Jin Ji smiled: "I don't have the qualifications to be close to an immortal. No matter what I do in this life, I am destined to be like this."

"Thanks to you Chang Ming, there may be another chance in the future."

"You have extraordinary qualifications. Your talent in alchemy is the only one I have ever seen in my life. You also possess the talent of a near-immortal. In the future, you may be able to become a great alchemist and refine various spiritual elixirs."

Hearing these words, Chen Changming's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Fortunately, Jin Ji didn't say much on this topic and quickly got to the point.

He began to talk about all the matters involved in alchemy, from the initial quenching, to the entire process of alchemy, to the various problems that would be encountered during the alchemy process, all of which were explained to Chen Changming in detail.

Regarding these, Chen Changming listened very carefully.

The inheritance embodied in the projection has certainly allowed him to acquire superb skills. To a certain extent, he is not inferior to Jin Ji himself.

But there are some things that projection cannot give him.

Such things as experience and insights can still only be explored by oneself.

Therefore, Chen Changming listened very carefully to the teachings of Jin Ji, a veteran.

In the days that followed, under Jin Ji's guidance, Chen Changming began to learn alchemy.

It was his first time to refine an elixir, and the object he was learning to refine was a small elixir.

Xiaodan is the basis of all elixirs and the simplest one among all elixirs.

It can even be said that this kind of elixir is to purify the spiritual energy contained in spiritual objects through the method of alchemy, and condense it into elixirs with thin vitality.

This kind of elixir is the most basic and the most common.

In the memory of Chen Changming's predecessor, when the children of the Chen family were between the ages of twelve and fifteen, they could receive a small pill every year to assist in martial arts practice.
