It took Chen Guan three seconds to comfort Qing Lin. After a simple wash, he was ready to leave.
In Qingshan Town, everything had come to an end. The next time he returned, he would probably be able to take his teacher's stone chamber back with him.
They hired a carriage and set off in the morning sun.
Except for meeting the Wang brothers, who were returning from Wu Tan City, the journey was peaceful.
One month later.
Imperial Capital, Alchemist Guild.
Chen Guan and Fa Ma sat facing each other with their eyes closed. Powerful spiritual force emerged from between their brows, working together to eliminate the hidden dangers within the Spirit Breaking Pill.
Although the secret hand left by the Hall of Souls was hidden, it was still found after the two men's meticulous investigation, as if it were attached to the inside of the pill like a brand.
Judging from the spiritual power of Chen Guan and Fa Ma, who had just been promoted to a sixth-tier alchemist, the mark was not very strong and was easy to remove. However, if it were to be solved without damaging the elixir, it would have to be done slowly, like an archaeological dig.
After Chen Guan returned to the Imperial Capital a few days ago, he put this matter on his agenda.
It was funny, really. When Chen Guan had come to the Alchemist Guild that day, Fa Ma couldn't help but be angry at him for not fighting back and had told him to speak up if he had something to say and get out if he didn't.
However, when Chen Guan said that he came to ask for advice on alchemy, his attitude changed 180 degrees on the spot, and his laughter could be heard in the lobby on the first floor.
The grumpy old man is so easy to deal with!
Of course, Chen Guan had not lied to him. He really wanted to learn the art of alchemy and to remove the "dirty stuff" from the Spirit Breaking Pill.
In the Dou Qi Continent today, alchemy is very popular, and the status of high-level alchemists is almost distorted.
Chen Guan didn't want to be slaughtered like a pig by others in the future, so he had to learn the art of alchemy for his own convenience.
Chen Guan had followed Yao Yue to attend classes for a period of time before. Under Fa Ma's intentional arrangement, he already had a clear understanding of the basics of alchemy, issues that needed to be paid attention to, etc. He had no lack of theoretical knowledge and was good at talking about it on paper. The only thing he lacked was practical operation.
Now, with the hands-on instruction of Fa Ma, a sixth-tier alchemist, and the support of a soul that was only one step away from the spiritual realm, all his configurations were maxed out. Learning the art of alchemy was easier for him than for an adult to review elementary school knowledge, and as smooth as having diarrhea.
The benefits of having strong spiritual power were clearly demonstrated.
Now, when he and Fa Ma asked for advice, they no longer allowed Yao Yue to watch.
There was no other way. The progress was too fast, and he was afraid that the little girl would be so depressed that she would doubt her life.
In addition to learning alchemy, Chen Guan also took half a day every day to go to the battlefield west of the imperial palace to practice the Dou Skill Crimson Star Flowing Flame.
It had to be said that the difficulty of practicing Earth-level Dou Skills and the consumption of Dou Qi were both enormous. Even with Chen Guan's current strength, it took him several days to really get started.
This was still a Dou Skill with matching attributes. If it were replaced with Dou Skills of other attributes, the difficulty would be even higher, just like Xiao Yan's practice of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement in the original novel.
Of course, getting started did not mean mastering it, and there was still a long way to go before he could fully master it.
However, being able to use it would be a huge boost to Chen Guan's current combat capability, and its power far exceeded that of the Ocean Without End.
Phew~
With a long sigh, the Spirit Breaking Pill gently fell into the box on the ground. The two of them opened their eyes one after another, their joy and sense of accomplishment self-evident.
"Finally cleared it out. This Hall of Souls is really just a bunch of dirty rats."
Fa Ma sighed. He felt extremely ashamed and disgusted to see such a despicable trick left in an elixir.
The name of the Hall of Souls was learned from the young boy. After understanding some of the nature of the Hall of Souls, Fa Ma had come to regard them as the force that should be destroyed the most, no doubt about it.
Alas, the desire was there, but his strength was not enough.
But it doesn't stop me from satisfying my urge to curse a few times every day.
"Old Man Jia is lucky. With this Spirit Breaking Pill, he has a chance to become a Dou Zong. If he succeeds, the pressure on the royal family will be less in the future," Fa Ma said with a chuckle.
Ever since he fought alongside Jia Xing Tian last month, this period had been a honeymoon for the two old men, and Jia Xing Tian would occasionally come out to brag to him.
Just last night, he had heard an interesting thing from Jia Xing Tian. Something was not right with the Miteer family recently, and it was suspected that a certain hot-tempered individual had returned.
"I hope so."
No matter from which aspect, Chen Guan also hoped that Jia Xing Tian would succeed.
After saying goodbye to Fa Ma, I found Yao Yue and Qing Lin in an alchemy room on the first floor of the Alchemist Guild. For some reason, it felt like I was picking up children from school.
Especially when leaving, holding one hand in each, and looking at the eyes of passersby, the feeling was even stronger.
As a little princess of the royal family, Yao Yue was somewhat proud, even arrogant towards outsiders. Originally, Chen Guan was worried that they couldn't play together and had wanted to tell her privately not to bully Qing Lin.
But surprisingly, the two little girls got along very well and became close friends on the first day. Afterwards, they were much crazier than he had imagined. Today, they beat up the younger generation of the Mu family, and tomorrow, they kicked the balls of the younger generation of a certain elder of the Miteer family. They were completely like two little witches.
That day, when he and Yao Ye went to the Mu family to pick up someone, Chen Guan finally figured it out on the way.
Qing Lin's temperament was one reason.
The bigger reason was premature death.
She was the little princess of the royal family, and Chen Guan treated her as his younger sister. Although she had always been favored, she was also the youngest one.
Now that she had met Qing Lin, especially after understanding Qing Lin's character, she naturally put herself in the shoes of the older sister. She felt instantly satisfied, and all the troubles she got into afterwards were just to show off in front of her sister, to drive her crazy and make trouble.
One was lawless, and the other didn't know how to say no and may even slowly start to enjoy it. Weren't they just two little witches?
After returning to the palace and letting the two girls play by themselves, Chen Guan went to the back mountain alone and gave the Spirit Breaking Pill, which had no hidden dangers, to Jia Xing Tian. He also informed the Youhai Jiao Beast that the Hunyuan Shaping Bone Dan would be available soon.
The Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill was not something that a novice sixth-grade alchemist could refine, but Fa Ma's situation was different.
With the help of the pregnant spirit dust and years of accumulation, he had now made a breakthrough. It could be said that he had accumulated a lot of experience. During this period of time, he would improve at a very fast speed, and it would not be a problem for him to surpass the Pill King Gu He.
According to Fa Ma's own estimation, he would roughly use up this energy at the intermediate level of the sixth grade, and by then, refining the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill would not be that difficult.
Chen Guan talked with the man and the master for a long time in the back mountain. Because Jia Xing Tian would go into seclusion to break through the Dou Zong barrier, it would take quite a while. During this period of time, the royal family and Chen Guan would naturally be affected.
While they were having a secret conversation here, at the same time, in the secret room in the back mountain of Yunlan Sect, Yunshan was waiting anxiously, thinking about the person so much, and finally he showed up.
The familiar laughter was still as shrill, but the timbre was slightly different.
"Hehehe~"
