"Speak, what do you need this old man to do? I must tell you in advance, in my current state, refining a Rank 6 Medicinal Pill is already a bit strenuous."
Venerable Yao yawned, as if he hadn't fully woken up.
Because he had only absorbed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi once, his Soul Power had only recovered to roughly the strength of a Dou Wang. Unless he used the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, encountering a Dou Huang expert would be extremely troublesome.
"Haha, I naturally know Great Master's condition very well. However, this Medicinal Pill shouldn't be difficult for Great Master."
Xiao Yan chuckled, pointed to a pile of boxes like a small mountain next to them, and then pulled out five specially marked boxes from this pile of boxes.
This pile of boxes, like a small mountain, contained some so-called preserved fruits and crispy snacks sent by Ya Fei's trusted subordinates.
Ostensibly, they were given to him, the Young Master of the Xiao Family, to satisfy his cravings. The total value was only a few hundred gold coins, so the Xiao Family members didn't think much of it, other than assuming Ya Fei valued Xiao Yan more.
But in reality, these boxes contained precious medicinal ingredients worth fifty thousand gold coins.
Xiao Yan currently didn't want the Xiao Family members to know too much about his affairs.
As the saying goes, 'Success is achieved in secret.' No matter how powerful he was in his previous life, he was still just a teenager at Dou Zhi Qi Level 3 now, so Xiao Yan still needed to bide his time for a while.
He casually opened a box, and three Purple Leaf Orchid Grasses, two Marrow Cleansing Flowers, a small jade bottle, a first-grade wood-attribute magic core, and a first-grade water-attribute magic core lay quietly within.
"Your medicinal formula…"
Venerable Yao glanced at the Materials in the box, first stunned for a moment, then said somewhat silently, "How is this so similar to a Foundation Establishment Liquid I once created?"
"This is a new Medicinal Pill improved upon Great Master's Foundation Establishment Liquid. I named it Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, which made Venerable Yao's expression even more complex.
"If I'm not mistaken, that jade bottle seems to contain Earth Core Spiritual Milk. Although wood and water attribute magic cores are gentle, they are ultimately too violent for a little guy like you who isn't even a Dou Practitioner.
But with the neutralization of this Earth Core Spiritual Milk, it is indeed possible to refine a Medicinal Pill that even those at the Dou Qi stage can withstand."
"It's just that I really can't imagine, could everything you said be true?"
In Venerable Yao's mind, a fallen Soul body like himself was like a ghost to those in Utan City whose highest cultivation was only Great Dou Shi.
But ever since he was awakened by Xiao Yan, he had always been somewhat bewildered.
A twelve-year-old child wakes you up after you've been dead for hundreds of years, then tells you he's your future Disciple, that he's come back from tens of thousands of years in the future, knows everything about you, and even casually improves your past medicinal formula to be even better.
Who is the ghost here?
I really ran into a ghost!
"True or false, Great Master only needs to watch. Your current task is to first refine the Medicinal Pill for me."
Xiao Yan gently shook his head. With his current strength, he couldn't even transmit secret techniques using Soul Power. Otherwise, simply imparting a high-level Soul Cultivation secret technique to Venerable Yao could greatly increase Venerable Yao's strength.
"Alright, this old man is also at his wit's end now. It seems there's no other way but to believe you, little fellow."
Venerable Yao smiled bitterly, extended his aged palm, and a pale white flame rose, instantly causing the temperature in the room to drop significantly. It was precisely the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
"First three parts fire, then four parts fire, then…"
The low temperature made Xiao Yan's frail little body shiver. He took a thin blanket from the side, wrapped it around himself, and stared at the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, slowly reciting a fire control incantation.
Upon hearing this fire control incantation, a sharp glint burst forth from Venerable Yao's eyes.
"Did you figure out this fire control incantation yourself? Your fire control level can actually reach this extent?"
This fire control process seemed simple, but in reality, this single step alone had already stumped most Alchemists below Rank 7, because only a Great Master who was extremely familiar with the Dao of fire control could achieve it.
For an Alchemist, fire control technique is their basic skill. As the saying goes, 'An expert knows the ropes.' Venerable Yao knew the extent of Xiao Yan's control over flames just by listening to this fire control incantation.
"Haha, as the Disciple of Venerable Yao, what is this basic skill?"
Xiao Yan chuckled. Tens of thousands of years later, he was the number one fire player in this Universe. This kind of fire control technique was just some children's teaching material he created out of boredom after becoming an Emperor back then, used to educate his children.
If it weren't for the fear that the current Venerable Yao wouldn't be able to learn it for a while, he would have at least given Venerable Yao a Heavenly Sovereign-level fire control technique to learn.
"It seems I will indeed take on a good Disciple in the future."
Venerable Yao was in a rare good mood. With a flick of his palm, he simultaneously drew several medicinal ingredients into the air, then refined them one by one.
Following the fire control incantation Xiao Yan gave him, he successively extracted the essence of various medicinal ingredients and magic cores, and finally took out the Earth Core Spiritual Milk from the jade bottle.
The so-called Earth Core Spiritual Milk was actually somewhat similar to the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk Xiao Yan obtained in Canaan Academy in his previous life, both being Heaven And Earth Treasure carrying a hint of Earth Power.
Earth Power is deep and heavy, capable of containing and neutralizing everything, so neutralizing several medicinal properties was naturally no problem.
A drop of Earth Core Spiritual Milk dripped into the medicinal solution, instantly causing the color of the liquid to change and fluctuate violently. Although Earth Core Spiritual Milk can neutralize medicinal properties, if not controlled well, there is also a risk of explosion.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan had a complete medicinal formula, and with the help of Venerable Yao, a Grandmaster Alchemist, the first Alchemy session was incredibly smooth.
An hour later, a drop of green liquid, like a piece of jade, slowly floated in Venerable Yao's palm.
Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid, complete!
With the successful refinement of the Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid, Venerable Yao casually dripped this jade-like medicinal liquid into the wooden basin Xiao Yan had prepared in advance.
As one drop of medicinal liquid entered it, the entire basin of clear water instantly turned a jade-like color.
"From now on, I will Cultivate here again."
Looking at this basin of medicinal liquid, a trace of reminiscence appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. In his previous life, he started from such a basin of medicinal liquid, step by step, reaching the Peak of this world, didn't he?
"Great Master, please also refine the remaining medicinal ingredients. Oh, and the last two portions only need to be refined into Foundation Establishment Liquid."
Xiao Yan took off his clothes and nakedly jumped into this basin of medicinal liquid.
This Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid was a medicine he created in his previous life to lay a foundation for children in his own forces. Its medicinal effect was much stronger than Foundation Establishment Liquid, after all, the cost was also there.
The improved Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid has multiple benefits such as Body Tempering, Qi nourishment, and strengthening Meridians, and can even slightly improve Cultivation talent. Although it is a Rank 3 Medicinal Pill, the fire control method alone can stump Alchemists below Rank 6.
Therefore, the price of this Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid should naturally be more than ten times higher than Foundation Establishment Liquid, and this Medicinal Pill is too conspicuous, so Xiao Yan does not intend to sell it.
The means of collecting wealth are too easy for him and Venerable Yao. It will not be too late to sell it openly after his strength recovers to Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels in the future.
"You brat, you're really not afraid of making this old man work hard."
Venerable Yao lightly glared at Xiao Yan, but didn't say much.
Refining Medicinal Pills of this level was, of course, no difficulty for him, a Grandmaster Alchemist.
Pale fire flickered in the quiet little room. In this silent stillness, the old man and the young man both seemed to be brewing the future.
