Chapter 773 Alchemy Lesson
Chapter 773 Alchemy Lesson
The next day, Alex had decided to go to the Hong Wu sect to teach about Alchemy and Medicinal pastes, but he was called to the City Lord's mansion.
So, he had to take a detour before going over to the sect.
Fu Wen was curious about his parents as any child would be after not seeing them for over 10 years, but Alex had no information on them so he was a little disappointed.
He now had a 3-year-old child and desperately wanted them to meet their granddaughter.
"Are you going back?" Fu Wen asked.
"In a few months, yes," Alex said.
"Can you take us too?" Fu Wen asked.
"Um, what about the city?" Alex asked.
"My uncle will manage it. There are way too many of our family members out there for us to worry about this part," Fu Wen said.
"Uhh, sure then. You can come with us," Alex said.
"Thank you," Fu Wen said. He asked a bit more about the Empire on the other side and was happy to know that it wasn't some barbaric land his parents had gone to.
Once he was done there, Alex finally went over to the sect where everyone was already gathered as per his request.
It wasn't just the Core disciples and elders, but also the Inner disciples as well as Outer disciples, so in total there were nearly 6 thousand people gathered in the Forbidden Fields grassland.
Once Alex recognized that it was time, he started off by teaching about medicinal pastes.
The elders had already come to hear about the pastes and were curious as to what it was. So, when Alex started teaching them they were more than eager to learn about it.
In just a few minutes, Alex managed to teach them exactly what the pastes were. As for the more minute details, he had it written on a talisman for the sect to distribute on its own time.
After that, he moved on to Alchemy and started teaching them what he had learned.
Without spiritual sense, many of the concepts he taught would go over the head of almost everyone here. But if they could understand even the tiniest bit and keep it with them until they managed to acquire spiritual sense somehow, they would immediately find themselves much better than they were before.
Concepts like Combination and Structure could be hard to understand for them, but concepts, like not wasting time in between ingredients or using the proper amount of ingredient for each pill, was something they understood.
Alex continued teaching for half an hour, at the end of which he handed out a bunch of recipes, claiming they were better than the ones that were in the sect.
The sect leader accepted them and would then replicate them for the disciples.
As for the pill to heal one's missing body parts, Alex decided to teach that to only a few select groups of people.
As such, once the lecture ended, he found Lang Shun, Wan Li, Zhou Mei, Zhou Mi, Kong Yuhan and Fan Ruogang, and brought them to a secluded location.
"Can you guys first test your Spiritual roots here?" Alex asked of them all.
"Okay," they said and one by one started testing their Spiritual roots.
Alex watched carefully as he needed to select 2 more people aside from his Martial uncle.
However, to his surprise, his martial uncle didn't have an Earth spiritual root at all.
'That's a problem,' Alex thought and looked at the rest. As he had expected, Wan Li's Earth spiritual root was really vibrant, perhaps even more so than Alex's own.
Zhou Mei and Zhou Mi had weak Earth spiritual roots themselves, while Fan Ruogang had slightly better ones.
Kong Yuhan too had a strong Earth spiritual root. So, in the end, Alex gave the pills to the 3 girls and was done with it.
He explained what the pill was and why he didn't give it to the rest of them. Once that was done, the girls ate the pill and sat down to cultivate.
In the meantime, Alex answered any questions about Alchemy that the other 3 had from today's lecture.
It was obvious that they would be curious about the information Alex gave out, considering every single person aside from Zhou Mi had a spiritual sense of their own thanks to the Spirit Cleansing Lily Alex had given them.
Once the girls were done with their cultivation and had an improved Spiritual root, Alex started teaching them the recipe to make the pill that could heal everything for anyone below the Saint realm.
At first, they assumed the pill was going to have a simple recipe. However, when they realized they had to do something so drastic as keeping a single ingredient in a bucket of blood for over a month, they were surprised, to say the least.
Not only that, but hearing the constraints on the blood itself, they were truly flabbergasted.
"A bucket of blood for a single pill? How do we find that?" Lang Shun asked.
"From beasts or maybe humans. I understand it's hard, but that's exactly the reason I'm not teaching this recipe to everyone," Alex said. "Not everyone can either get the ingredients and even if they did, they would use some underhanded method to get the blood. This is why I chose you guys because I trust you."
Alex spent perhaps half a day more teaching the small group of people everything he knew and everything they could understand, including Symmetry.
Once he was sure he taught them everything he knew, Alex handed over a technique to his Martial Uncle.
"What's this?" Lang Shun asked.
"A pill forming technique I bought in the other empire. It's one of the best out there, so I hope you can make use of it," Alex said.
"Profound Revolutions of Myriad Combinations, huh? Sounds fancy," Lang Shun said.
"It better be," Alex said. "That's an Immortal grade technique after all."
"What?" the group looked at him in shock.
"Yeah, so keep it safe," Alex said. "I don't know how long it will take you to learn it, but pass it along once you are done reading."
Given that they had spiritual sense, they could easily remember whatever they read.
"I have taught you guys all I can, so I will leave for now. Martial Uncle, I will come tomorrow to teach about growing plants and taking care of them. Can you help me gather up anyone that is interested?" he asked. "Oh right, those girls that stay in the garden, those should absolutely be there to learn."
"Okay," Lang Shun replied, but his thoughts were still hung up on the book in his hand.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure to do it," Kong Yuhan said.
"I guess I will leave now then," Alex said. "So remember, tomorrow get the disciples and those girls for the gardening lesson."
"After that…" Alex thought to himself. "After that, I might teach you guys about something you will need to know once you enter the Saint realm."
"What? What do we need to know?" Wan Li asked as he was the closest to the Saint realm.
"It's a little something called Dao."
