Wang Xuan turned his mind, but he couldn’t find any relevant information, and shook his head: “Elder Feng Daozi’s jade token does not contain these three materials.”

“Hmph, how could it not be there? It’s obviously because you didn’t remember everything. But these three materials are indeed quite obscure, almost never used in alchemy, so it’s normal that you didn’t remember them.

This round you barely passed. After all, with only three days, being able to remember so much shows you have exceptional talent, and a promising future in the Alchemy Dao. I won’t mention anything to the master.”

Tang Yuan spoke the lie without blushing at all, and even felt relieved that she had deceived Wang Xuan.

This is a woman’s innate skill.

Or else, would she really face the truth? Impossible!

With two coughs, Feng Daozi walked over step by step and said calmly, “Disciple, why haven’t I heard of the three materials you mentioned? Could it be newly discovered by the Federation in the Otherworld?”

Tang Yuan looked at Feng Daozi pleadingly, hinting for him to help cover up, but Feng Daozi still said, “Tang Yuan, lying is not good. Don’t do it again next time.”

“Master!” Tang Yuan stomped her foot in anger and ran off with a flushed face.

“Childish, so grown-up yet still so capricious, making you laugh,” Feng Daozi said with a smile.

As for the bet, he didn’t care. He was happy to see some sparks between the young people, and it wouldn’t hurt to facilitate it a bit.

Wang Xuan waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.

Feng Daozi spoke: “Since you’ve remembered them, I shall teach you the extraction technique. There are at least hundreds of extraction techniques, each an independent technique, equivalent to a martial art or magic, and it is quite difficult to learn.

Each technique takes at least ten days to half a month to reach Small Success, consuming considerable True Qi. The Primordial True Qi can absorb a myriad of things, so cultivating these techniques should be fine.

I’ll pass them on to you one by one, but cultivation depends on your own efforts. Once you’ve mastered these techniques, you can handle alchemy materials.”

He pointed with a finger, and a beam of spiritual light drilled into Wang Xuan’s heavenly spirit, transmitting the inheritance of these hundreds of Extraction and Refining Techniques to Wang Xuan.

“Thank you, Elder.” Wang Xuan bowed and thanked.

With his hands behind his back, Feng Daozi walked away: “You have the talent, so learn well. I hope you can become an Alchemy Grandmaster and strengthen our Alchemy Dao.”

In fact, Feng Daozi was extremely impressed by Wang Xuan’s performance, as he had firmly memorized the identification methods for millions of alchemy materials in just three days.

It’s worth mentioning that Tang Yuan had spent seven to eight months on it, no wonder she didn’t believe Wang Xuan’s words and confidently bet.

Feng Daozi couldn’t help but sigh. Why wasn’t Wang Xuan his disciple? If he were, he wouldn’t lack successors.

A child with cultivation talent and alchemy talent is indeed rare, for rarity makes it valuable.

If Wang Xuan weren’t He Fang’s disciple, he truly would want to snatch him away.

But alas, no matter how many True Immortal First Realm you have, it’s not enough for He Fang to slap away. The Star Lord in the Super Star Position is one in a hundred, and surpassing realms to battle a True Immortal Third Realm Void powerhouse isn’t impossible either.

Wang Xuan returned to Black and White Mountain, starting to cultivate those techniques. He discovered these techniques correspond to the properties of various alchemy materials, including the Five Elements Yin and Yang, cold, damp, dry, hot, and so on.

“The Water Spirit Technique can guide the water attribute medicine spiritual qi from the spirit medicine. It’s one of the most basic parts, and there aren’t many lines for running the technique.”

He studied it briefly, comprehended its theory, and began cultivating.

A few minutes later, he had entered the introductory phase of the Water Spirit Technique. After another three hours, Wang Xuan had cultivated it to the Small Success Realm, and it took a whole day for him to reach the Peak of Small Success Realm.

This one day consumed a lot of his Primordial True Qi, affecting his regular cultivation. The Divine Treasure Realm itself is a process of constantly opening acupoints with True Qi and nurturing the soul, which is highly consuming.

He estimated that cultivating this technique to the limit would probably require consuming ten points of Source Power, mostly to replenish the consumption of Primordial True Qi.

“At my speed, if I want to cultivate all these hundreds of techniques to Small Success, it’ll require a hundred days, which is too long.

Moreover, just a Small Success technique, what use does it have?”

Wang Xuan shook his head and sighed: “I originally wanted to put in more effort myself, but how can youth be wasted? I should just take a shortcut!”

“Accelerator!” he called out.

“Water Spirit Technique Small Success (acceleratable), accelerate?”

…

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and every few days, Wang Xuan would spend some time cultivating techniques, bringing them to their limit.

The rest of the time, he either refined Heaven and Earth Essence Qi into True Qi to impact acupoints or savored delicacies and wandered around the mountain.

In these five days, nearly five thousand points of Source Power were consumed, but he successfully cultivated those hundreds of techniques to their limit.

Having nothing better to do, he went to see Chen Qingniu, but Chen Qingniu was always training in boxing, his mind entirely absorbed in the Martial Dao, completely ignoring external matters.

“Old Six, why have you become so diligent in practicing boxing?” Wang Xuan asked curiously after finally voicing it on his third visit.

It’s worth noting that Chen Qingniu’s temperament is sometimes steady and sometimes carefree, humorous and interesting, never so dull. The last time he saw him, the guy was still saving up energy to pursue the fourth Senior Sister.

How come he’s become so taciturn now?

Chen Qingniu was expressionless, and only after a while did he collect his punch, saying, “Self-improvement lies only in practicing boxing; if I don’t diligently cultivate, what else can I do?”

“Aren’t you pursuing the cool and graceful Senior Sister? Such a beautiful Senior Sister, even I am moved,” Wang Xuan said while munching on a fruit, mentioning Senior Sister Lin Xiyue.

Chen Qingniu sighed: “The one I like doesn’t like me; what can I do? Nothing but helplessness.”

Talking to Wang Xuan made him feel much better. Being silent by himself was worse than finding someone to talk to.

“Looks like you’ve been discouraged, tsk tsk tsk,” Wang Xuan shook his head, “Seems you still lack the hero spirit, so you can’t attract Senior Sister Xiyue’s attention.

When you become an unparalleled hero, never mind what she says, just ride in on colorful clouds and marry her.”

“Enough about that, cultivation is the priority.”

Chen Qingniu looked at Wang Xuan in surprise: “How have you reached the Divine Treasure Realm already? So fast! Did you get the Celestial Fate Source like me?”

“A blessing from failed romance?” Wang Xuan shook his head, “How about a spar to relieve your mood? Don’t always keep it bottled up.”

“Do you want a beating?” Chen Qingniu laughed.

“Restrict it to Divine Treasure Realm cultivation level, use whatever techniques you like. Otherwise, you as an Earth Immortal Realm against my Divine Treasure Realm would be too bullying,” Wang Xuan said.

Laughing loudly, the two immediately began fighting.

After a while, both fell onto the plains, muscles aching all over, and both had bruised faces, with all their strength exhausted.

After one bout, neither emerged victorious.

“Chen Lao Liu, your foundation in the Divine Treasure Realm is weak; you need to work harder.”

“Wang Xiaoqi, don’t get cocky!”

Although the fight ended in a draw, Chen Qingniu still felt uncomfortable, with the gloom he originally felt largely cleared, though now depressed because of Wang Xuan.

With the Peak of Divine Treasure cultivation level, how could he not defeat Wang Xuan? It was so humiliating!

“In ten days, let’s settle this!” Chen Qingniu said loudly.

Wang Xuan laughed: “In a Same Realm battle, you’ll never be my match in this lifetime. If you beat me, you can contest being the strongest in the Same Realm!”

“Shameless, Wang Xiaoqi, I never thought you’d be like this!” Chen Qingniu limped away.
