Mei Lin had overexerted her body by using a lot of Void Qi to tear a gap in the formation.Void Qi was supposed to be used by Void refining realm cultivators.She had it in her dantian but she wasn't supposed to use it as her cultivation was sealed.
She didn't think she would require to use a lot, as she assumed the formation was laid by a formation master ,she didn't expect it to have been laid down by a Grandmaster ,forcing her to channel a lot void Qi than her sealed body could handle .
She fainted as soon as she opened the gap causing Xuan Yu to retreat hurriedly after he sent over the tablet, worrying about her well being.
Scanning her body he found nothing out of place except her qi pathways seamed to have several tears all over them .Feeding her several healing pills he laid her to sleep.
His cultivation realm had dropped to the foundation establishment realm and he needed to stabilize it not to leave any sequelae .
He stabilized it for a few hours untill he heard a whining sound .
Mei Lin had woken up .
" You didn't have to overexert you body " Xuan Yu reprimanded her softly as he helped her up .
Mei Lin watched him as he went to the kitchen and returned with a bowl of chicken soup and began feeding .
She almost cursed him out ,he was treating her like she was on her death bed while she was just a little overdrawn.
But since he wanted to spoil her who was she to refuse .
" Since you can't refine Qi what do you plan to do before the tablet is full." She inquired as she swallowed the soup he was Feeding her .It was sweeter than she expected.
" I was thinking about laying down some plans for the future" he muttered.
" About what " she inquired
" About the throne ,I want those bastards to pay for fooling with me " he muttered as he clenched his fists crushing the spoon.
" Which throne are you talking about" she asked ,she has assumed he was just a royal clan bastard or a distant relative of the crown but things didn't look that way .
" The Emperor's throne" he answered in a despising tone.
" Who are you " she asked now intrigued.
" The last time I checked I was the Imperial 3rd prince ,but that was 2 years ago " he explained.
" How can that be ?And what are doing here at this god forsaken place ? And how can you be so weak the rumours are that the 3rd prince wasborn with Holy meridians? " She rained questions at him aggitatedly.
" Calm down first" he patted her back and narrated his life's story and his current predicament.
Mei Lin listened as Xuan Yu poured his heart out ,the more he spoke the more aggitated he became causing his eyes to turn mushy he wanted to cry but that night he cried himself to sleep he swore to never cry again .Now all he could do was dry his eyes with Qi preventing them from tearing up.
Mei Lin witnessed all of this making her heart hurt. Although they had only known each other for a few days Xuan Yu had already stolen a piece of her heart .
Xuan Yu had exaggerated some things plotting something and when he saw her face covered in guilt he knew he had succeeded.
She didn't know how to console him except by taking his mind of things .Her body couldn't help but her mouth and hands could.She slid down and removed his pants ,his little brother was laying down there ,but the second her warm breath brushed by it , it throbbed as it grew into a tall pillar ready to sunder the skies.
Mei Lin kissed the tip sending a jolt of Qi into his balls ,Xuan Yu grunted in both pain and pleasure.She rolled her tongue around the tip of the cocks head and then swallowed the whole dick down her throat Choking on it ,since she had a small amount of cultivation she expanded her throat to fit the dick inside . Xuan Yu felt his dick enter her tight throat making him grunt in satisfaction.
Since he met Mei Lin a few days ago his life has experienced a blissful change.His Lust had been awakened,he always wondered why the emperor had several wife's and many concubines and now he knew why.
You only got one life ,even if you increase you lifespan by a few million years it was still one lifetime why not enjoy it to the fullest.
As he thought about that he grabbed Mei Lin head and pushed it into his groin making her release muffled noises as he hammered her throat for a few minutes before releasing a load down her throat.
He lifted her up ,lifted her dress up and removed her panties the licked her ripened clit before fingering her until she couldn't moan no more .
As they lay they naked enjoying each other's company they began talking again.
" Why don't I teach you who to refine pills and artifacts " she suggested.
" Don't tell me you are both an alchemist and an artifacts refiner " he inquired .
" I dabble in both professions " she answered proudly.
" Okay it may be a few years before I began cultivating again" he answered.They fell asleep as they were both tired.
The next day Mei Lin began teaching him how to refine pills.First she taught him how to identify herbs ,this took an entire week for him to be able to identify grade 9 and grade 8 herbs. This type of pills were used by the Qi refining realm cultivators and the Foundation establishment realm cultivators.
As for upper grades he will have to spend sometime before learning all of them .Then she taught him their properties which took a whole month, then she began teaching him fire control techniques which he learnt in a week the technique was known as the Extinguishing source technique.He wanted to refine a pill fire but they didn't have any that he could refine .So they passed that stage , agreeing he should use Qi fire ,that was untill he could find an Earth fire that complimented his use.Then she taught him pill formulas and how to identify them .
Then the hard part came ,the refining of pills .
He began with the lowest pill the Qi replenish pill.
Xuan Yu followed Mei Lin instructions first he memorized the pill formula they sorted out the herbs according to the formula,then he heated the cauldron untill it was heated evenly, then he threw in the first herb, he heated it until it liquified then he added another herb only to receive a cane on his head by Mei Lin using a cane she has been abusing him with lately.
" What did I do wrong master" he asked .Mei Lin required him to address her as master when she was teaching him .He was aggrieved that he swore to get his vengeance when his training ended.
" Don't look at me with those puppy eyes ,I am doing this for you own good " she patted his head dottingly " that was a water element herb you first refined then you dared throw in a metal element herb ,what do you expect to happen when they combine " she asked but before he could answer the cauldron began shaking before it destroyed the refined herb .
Mei Lin knocked him again adding another bump on his head but this time,he didn't complain As he owned up to his mistake.
Alchemy followed some of the basic laws of cultivation like The Law of the Five Elements, wood suppress earth which inturn suppresses water which inturn suppresses fire which inturn suppresses metal which inturn suppresses wood.
He had forgotten about that leading to his current predicament.
He began refining again, following the elemental law he processed the herbs arranging them accordingly to their elements then heated the cauldron .
After it was evenly heated he began refining the herbs untill they were liquified ,this time the process went smoothly then he began the extraction of essence by burning away the impurities.
This process took a long time since he was using Qi fire since he hadn't refine an Earth fire .
Then the final process which was the hardest and the most trickiest came, he was required to compress the purified essence by controling heat until it formed any shape then solidify it by fire until it took a solid form.
Things were going on smoothly until the pill began to take form ,it began trembling intensely until it bursted out of the fire Buble it was sealed in . Xuan Yu raised his hands hurriedly trying to block Mei Lin cane which he was expecting but the cane never landed looking around he didn't find her it seemed she left already.
" Few succeed in their first refinement unless they are prodigies" a voice came from her room encouraging him.
Xuan Yu continued his refinement failing several times until he succeeded in refining a low tier 9 Qi replenishing pill he was ecstatic as he never ever imagined he will ever become an Alchemist although he was a novice he was proud.
Stretching his muscles he eyed at Mei Lin room licking his lips lewdly and cranking his fingers as he walked towards the room.
Mei Lin was meditating when her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, warning her of an impending crisis.She didn't have time to react when her rooms door was knocked open .Looking up she met Xuan Yu burning gaze .
" What are you doing " she asked with a stuttering voice.
"Don't worry Dear Master Lin ,disciple is here to take care of your needs" Xuan Yu answered her as he closed up on her.
