After returning to his room, Su Ran immediately opened his system panel and took stock of the results of his cultivation over the past few days.

——————————
"The progress of the mission is quite fast..."
"The proficiency of the upward thrust and forward thrust has reached the required level. No wonder I feel that I have become more and more comfortable in using these two sword skills recently..."
"But what to do with this block?"
"I can't find any chance to practice at all..."
Su Ran was very distressed.
The proficiency of blocking is still at a half-understood level, just like when I first learned it.
If you can't block, you won't be able to complete the mission, you won't be able to get the copy scroll, and you won't be able to experience new happiness.
"Hey, it's really difficult..."
Su Ran scratched his head and could only put this matter aside for now.
There is a more important thing at hand now.
That was his military food pill.
After experiencing various adventures in the Gullah Forest these past few days, he has collected all the materials.
Currently, his spiritual ring contains a total of 500 goblin spiritual cores, 500 cat demon spiritual cores, 94 green vines, 100 low-level spiritual stones and more than 2,000 intermediate spiritual stones.
In just a few days, you can become rich instantly!
This gave Su Ran a really unreal feeling.
Obviously just a few days ago, he was still a miserable novice with only countless zeros in his account balance...
"Then let's start working on the Bing Liang Pills now!"
Su Ran licked the corner of his mouth and rubbed his hands excitedly, then realized... he didn't seem to have anything to make alchemy.
There is no cauldron or furnace.
There wasn't even a pot.
This is a hammer-making elixir!
Su Ran felt a little sore in her balls.
"If you wait until you go back to practice, you will miss the good opportunity to practice in the spiritual realm these days..."
Su Ran was very distressed.
After holding my forehead and thinking sadly, I could only think of one person in the end.
The familiar Uncle Xia Xun.
Although I am embarrassed to ask others for help, it feels really bad to owe others a favor.
But at this critical moment, Su Ran felt that she couldn't care about face.
He has no time, he needs to improve his cultivation level in a short time!
The inter-school league is approaching, and if he doesn't hurry up, he may not even be able to pass the first round of auditions in his school!
After all, everyone already knows that their Earth-shattering Wave Sword can store energy, so they will definitely defend or dodge in a targeted manner.
If the Earth Splitting Wave Sword can't hit anyone, even if the damage is off the charts, it's all in vain!
Thinking of this, Su Ran took a deep breath, opened WeChat, carefully organized the language, and sent it to Xia Xun.
What Su Ran didn't expect was that Xia Xun actually responded instantly.
And the reply was extremely concise: "Brother Master, I'm waiting for you in the alliance hall!"
It was followed by an emoji of a lotus in full bloom.
"...What's this strong sense of age?"
Su Ran twitched the corner of her mouth and quickly changed into cleaner clothes. Without any delay, she immediately left the hotel and came to the Alliance Center of the service station.
"Long time no see, brother master!"
Xia Xun was already waiting in the lobby in advance, wearing casual clothes. As soon as he saw Su Ran, he reflexively wanted to come up and hug her.
Su Ran was locked in the huge chest muscles again, thinking that we just met this morning...
After a simple greeting, Su Ran told Xia Xun about the problems he encountered.
"I just told you, you can come to me if you have any questions about alchemy!"
"Follow me."
Xia Xun took Su Ran into the alliance. After walking through several corridors, the two came to a room with "Alchemy Room" written on it.
Xia Xun took out a card from his pocket and placed it on the access control machine. With a "beep" sound, the metal door bounced open on both sides.
Su Ran followed him and walked in. What he saw were rows of alchemy stations.
Each alchemy position is equipped with a four-cornered tripod that looks particularly important. Next to it is a pile of black spiritual carbon as high as a hill.
However, the size of this cauldron is very small. It is not like the large ancient cauldron that Su Ran imagined. It is very compact in appearance.
Probably because the current alchemy technology is more sophisticated, and smaller containers make it easier to control the heat.
"Wait here for a moment, I will find a professional alchemist for you."
Xia Xun said and left, and soon brought back a girl.
"Her name is Gu Xiaole, she is a third-grade alchemist in the Sword Cultivator Alliance. You can ask her for help if you need anything." Xia Xun introduced.
"Hello, my name is Gu Xiaole, you can just call me Lele."
Gu Xiaole said hello with a smile.
"Hello, hello, my name is Su Ran, a three-star swordsman."
Su Ran also responded politely.
After all, the other party had already announced his identity as a third-grade alchemist. Out of respect, Su Ran also revealed his cultivation level.
Su Ran also knew a thing or two about the profession of alchemist.
Apart from swordsmanship, it is a relatively special profession with a relatively high status in this world.
From the first level up, the level of the alchemist becomes higher and higher.
Because alchemists master the refining methods of various elixirs in the world, they can produce various elixirs and potions that have a beneficial effect on sword cultivators, helping sword cultivators improve their overall strength in all aspects.
The only pity is that most alchemists do not have strong spiritual power, or are not very good at using spiritual power.
Therefore, many alchemists do not have the talent to be a sword cultivator. This is their shortcoming, so they chose the art of alchemy.
However, Gu Xiaole looked like a wild lolita, making it difficult for Su Ran to believe that she was actually a third-level alchemist.
Because she seemed to be younger than him, less than 1.6 meters tall, with obvious baby fat on her face, and her voice sounded very childish.
However, she is now working in the alliance, so it should be confirmed that Gu Xiaole is at least an adult and should be older than herself.
And although the level of third-grade is not very high, it can be considered as having stepped into the threshold of alchemist. In a small city like Beijian City, it is already very popular in the alliance.
But...
"I don't know if I am popular with the alliance, but I guess I am very popular with the copper smelting masters..."
Su Ran couldn't help but complain silently.
After explaining the matter, Xia Xun left first because there was other work to do, leaving Su Ran and Gu Xiaole behind.
"What type of elixir are you planning to make? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Gu Xiaole folded his hands in front of him, looked up at Su Randao with a somewhat professional smile.
Su Ran thought for a while and then said:
"Hmm...then can you teach me a little bit about the basic methods of alchemy first?"
"I can try it myself then, so I don't have to bother you to do it myself."
Su Ran was actually a little defensive in her heart.
He still doesn't really hope that the recipe for his Bingliang Pill will be discovered by others, even if there is only a slight possibility.
Gu Xiaole smiled and nodded: "It's okay. Everyone here is a guest. I will try my best to meet your needs."
"Okay." Su Ran replied with a smile.
So the two began to refine elixirs.
I have to say that Su Ran thinks this girl has a really good personality.
After all, he had never been exposed to the skill of refining medicine, so all operations seemed extremely clumsy.
But Gu Xiaole had no intention of disliking him at all, and had been patiently teaching him various alchemy operations.
After a few hours of work, under Gu Xiaole's guidance, Su Ran had roughly mastered the basic methods of alchemy.
After studying for a while, Su Ran was about to try some practical operations, when a cold voice came from behind:
