Chapter 7: Dragon's Saliva Exercise

  "This... stop it at once, don't burn down my Spirit Medicine Pavilion!" An old man suddenly appeared from somewhere and hastily shouted.

  The flame in Shen Xiang's hand disappeared, and the people in Lingdan Pavilion all recovered from their shock. They had just felt Shen Xiang's anger from that ball of fire.

  "Shen Zhenhua, you're even afraid of the flames of a useless person like me? Then what are you? Not even as good as a useless person?" Shen Xiang sneered.

  Shen Zhenhua's face was extremely ugly, and anyone with a normal brain wouldn't dare try that flame. The city lord's daughter also grew up with a small mouth, staring at Shen Xiang in surprise, she could also see the power of that flame. At this time, she slightly lowered her head, because earlier she looked down on Shen Xiang, who knew Shen Xiang was actually hiding his true abilities.

  "Your Excellency... this little guy." A middle-aged big man walked over and said to a short, white-haired old man standing behind Shen Xiang.

  The old man just stared at Shen Xiang, his face filled with incredulity, his eyes full of shock and ecstasy.

  This old man is the master of Lingdan Pavilion and a well-known alchemist, but he has some past grievances with Shen Xiang's grandfather.

  "Can you be my apprentice, young brother?" The old man asked, causing the entire first floor of Lingdan Pavilion to tremble.

  The master of the pavilion has actually started accepting disciples!

  The master of the Lingdan Pavilion actually personally opened his mouth to let others become his apprentices, you know that those who want to be apprentices of the master of the Lingdan Pavilion can line up all the way to the city gate.

  Everyone was stunned, they were shocked by Shen Xiang's potential, although he didn't have spiritual veins, but he could release the true fire of Qi, which in the eyes of an alchemist was indeed a good seed.

  Shen Xiang scratched his head and said lightly: "I want to, but you and my grandfather are enemies, I can't take you as my master!"

  After finishing speaking, Shen Xiang turned around and left with a flourish, without any hint of regret on his face. The crowd couldn't believe that Shen Xiang had refused so bluntly! They all suspected they had misheard, but after hearing the pavilion master's sigh, they had no choice but to believe it - someone really did refuse to be the pavilion master's disciple.

  Everyone thinks Shen Xiang is a fool, giving up a great opportunity for his grandfather's personal grudge.

  Shen Zhenhua was even more jealous in his heart, although Shen Xiang had just severely humiliated him, but everyone's attention was focused on Shen Xiang, completely ignoring him. But now, many people cast contemptuous glances at him, and in their eyes, a Dan-refining master was even more formidable than any genius.

  Can refine elixirs, even without spiritual veins, can become a formidable martial artist!

  Of course, Shen Xiang not only has the divine pulse, but he also wants to become a Dan furnace master! At this time, he already has the conditions of planting medicinal materials and releasing good true Qi fire, just need some experience in refining Dan and extremely high wisdom to successfully refine the spiritual Dan.

  Shen Xiang had long known that the pavilion master was his grandfather's arch-nemesis, and his grandfather was usually very kind to him, occasionally giving him some elixirs that allowed him to cultivate to the third level of Mortal Martial Realm without a spiritual vein.

  Back at the Shen family home, Shen Xiang hastily went to find Shen Tianhu and told him everything that had happened at Ling Dan Pavilion.

  "Well done! That old man from Lingdan Pavilion is just a greedy fool, the elixirs he sells to our Shen family are always so expensive. Since you have the True Fire of Qi, becoming an alchemist won't be difficult at all! I'll fully support you." Shen Tiangong was extremely excited in his heart. Because his own son could release the True Fire of Qi, this could be said to have limitless prospects, better than those top-grade spiritual vein warriors.

  Shen Hui returned to his own courtyard, planted the spiritual medicine seedlings, and at night, he sat cross-legged on his bed, feeling the dense heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, circulating the Taiji divine art and Longyan art, rapidly absorbing it.

  After practicing the Dragon Saliva Skill, a special ** will condense on the tongue. As long as these ** are poured onto the spiritual medicine, they can ripen the spiritual medicine.

  In the early morning, Shen Xiang stuck out his tongue and saw a green dewdrop on it. This was "Dragon's Saliva"!

  Shen Xiang was overjoyed at this, it was his first time using the technique and he didn't expect to succeed so easily. He hastily put the cyan dewdrop into a bucket of clear water, and instantly the clear water turned cyan, with threads of cyan light overflowing from it.

  Shen Xiang carried this bucket of water and carefully watered those young seedlings.

  Qinglingcao, Xueyuanhua, Xuanninghua and Lingye grass, these four spiritual herbs are ordinary lower-grade products, but from seedlings to maturity, they all take at least three years!

  But after Shen Xiang used "Dragon's Saliva Water" to ripen it, it matured in just one month!

  "The blue grass, emitting a spiritual aura, is the Qingling Grass. The red one that resembles a bloody fist is the Xueyuan Flower. White as snow, and emits bright light at night is the Xueming Flower. This clump of small leaves is the Lingye Grass."

  Shen Tianhu looked at the spiritual medicines in the small courtyard, exclaiming in surprise, his eyes almost bulging out. He remembered that a month ago, they were all just small sprouts.

  "This... son, don't spread this ability outside! You and I knowing is enough, wealth shouldn't be revealed!" Shen Tianhu's face was very serious, he also didn't ask Shen Xiang how he had this kind of ability.

  Shen Xiang nodded slightly. The place he was in was Shen Tianhu's territory, and no one dared to enter or leave at will, so Shen Xiang wasn't worried that anyone would discover him.

  "Refining the elixir is not a simple matter, although you have met the conditions to become an alchemist, it's extremely difficult to succeed without a teacher. You can try to experiment on your own first, and if that doesn't work out, I'll think of a way to help you find an alchemy master." Shen Tiangou said, taking out a refining furnace the size of a water bucket from his storage bag.

  Shen Tianhu said: "This alchemy furnace is a bit inferior, but it's the only one I can afford for now. When I become the clan leader, I'll buy you a better one."

  During the process of refining the elixir, the elixir furnace is also indispensable. Shen Xiang felt that this black elixir furnace was quite satisfactory. He nodded and smiled: "Thank you, old man. Once I refine the medicine, I'll take it to you to taste first."

  Shen Tianhu burst out laughing and hastily left.

  Shen Xiang had been taking care of the spiritual medicine for a month, and also learned the essentials of alchemy from Su Mei Yao. This enchanting woman carefully explained some difficult points to him, making Shen Xiang very grateful.

  Shen Xiang knew how to refine the elixir, but there were many things that gave him a headache, such as controlling the fire phase, the amount of true energy to infuse, and the moment of condensing the elixir, which required extremely precise spiritual power.

  "Su Mei Yao, I'm preparing to refine the elixir. Do you think when can I successfully refine the medicine?" Shen Xiang communicated with Su Mei Yao through his spiritual power and ring while picking mature herbs and processing them into medicinal materials for refining the elixir.

  The process requires some effort, but for Shen Xiang it's nothing, because Su Mei Yao had already instilled these in him.

  "At least a year and a half!"

  "What? I still have a month before I have to compete with that genius from the Medicine House." Shen Xiang hastily said.

  "Bai Youyou coldly snorted: 'You're really an idiot, why must you compare your alchemy skills with him? Just use your strength to kill that guy and be done with it.'"

  Shen Xiang's mouth twitched slightly, and he killed off the genius of the Yan family. If that happened, the Shen family would definitely go to war with the Yan family, and at that time, his father might be the patriarch, which would be very troublesome.

  He processed those spiritual flowers and grasses before throwing them into the furnace, and every subsequent step was extremely crucial.

  The basic steps of alchemy are to first pour the true fire of qi into the alchemical furnace, heat the spiritual medicine inside the furnace, allowing the spiritual medicine to emit its unique spiritual energy, and then use spiritual power to control the various spiritual energies and the dried spiritual medicine to condense together, forming a dan pill.

  Shen Xiang placed his hands on the two special flame-injecting spots and used his spiritual power to observe the situation inside the alchemy furnace.
