The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

During Lin Yi’s alchemy process, Zhang Dao Xuan didn’t give much guidance, only stepping in to correct critical mistakes.

He thought of his disciple as an unpolished jade, who was exploring the Way of Pill Refining without any external influence, filled with a natural spirit.

Throughout the six or seven years of trials, he hadn’t had much communication with Lin Yi, unaware of how he had stumbled upon the path of alchemy.

However, judging from the natural aura of his alchemy traces, it seemed likely that Lin Yi had comprehended the entire process by himself.

Therefore, he was reluctant to give too much instruction. Even when teaching alchemy techniques, he didn’t provide the cultivation insights he had left behind, wanting Lin Yi to maintain his natural independence, unaffected by the alchemical methods of others.

Although his guidance was only offered at critical moments, it helped Lin Yi significantly, giving him further insight into the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique.

Thanks to the alchemy speed boost from his title, in less than seven days, he successfully refined three Golden Elixirs. Assisted by the Piano-refining Alchemy Method, the quality of the pills had all improved.

The refining time was even shorter than before. This was just the introductory stage of the alchemy technique. It was imaginable that once the alchemy technique reached the Great Perfect Level, the time would be significantly reduced.

After the successful pill refinement, Lin Yi saw a pop-up window appearing, his high-level alchemy skills and the Piano-refining Alchemy Method had gained some experience.

What was even more surprising was that the Supreme-grade Artifact Alchemy Furnace also gained some experience.

He remembered that the pill furnace currently had over 8,000 experience points and required 10,000 points to upgrade. According to the present schedule of refining a pill every seven days, it would need about thirty years to upgrade.

However, he still had to verify whether refining other high-grade pills would also grant him experience each time. If so, he could refine Gathering Yuan Pills, which only took three days each.

With the improvement of his alchemy technique and his title, the time would be further reduced. He estimated it would take more than ten years to upgrade.

Upgrading a Supreme Talisman to a higher-class Spiritual Treasure in just over ten years was nothing short of a miracle.

In the Cultivation World, objects were categorized as Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Magical Weapons, Spiritual Treasures, and Dao Treasures. Above these were Immortal Artifacts.

Magical Weapons corresponded to the Golden Core Realm, while Spiritual Treasures were equivalent to the Divinity Transformation and Refining Void realms. Dao Treasures matched the Fusion and Tribulation stages.

Upon reaching the Immortal Artifacts, they were only divided into lower, middle, upper categories, and a Supreme-grade Immortal Tool.

After the pop-up window notification, he sensed the joy from the Alchemy Furnace Talisman, which must have felt its own improvement.

Regaining his senses, Lin Yi picked up the three Medium Grade Gold Coagulation Pills and gave a bow to Zhang Dao Xuan, “Thank you for your guidance, Master.”

Zhang Dao Xuan looked at the three golden elixirs with a smile on his face, “Lin Yi, you’ve truly mastered the basics of the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique. From now on, practice diligently.

“During your free time from alchemy, I will teach you about medicinal herbs, to understand their properties and characteristics, how to match and cultivate them. This is an indispensable basic knowledge in the Alchemy Dao.”

“Oh Master, I couldn’t ask for more.” Lin Yi quickly held his fist in salute. In the Liu Yun Sect, no one taught him about alchemy. Now that he finally found a master willing to teach him, he truly cherished this opportunity.

Besides, it was a steal to be able to learn while also gaining benefits. Why wouldn’t he want to?

After the demonstration class ended, his cultivation level increased by five points, and the corresponding spiritual liquid entered his body as if it was bestowed from the heavens.

When he received the cultivation points, Master Zhang Dao Xuan was completely unaware, which showcased the power of the title system.

“Well, it’s been six or seven days already, do you want to return to your sect for a while?” Zhang Dao Xuan asked gently after nodding.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi shook his head, “Master, if there’s an emergency, someone will inevitably trigger the formation. Since nothing has happened, I see no need to go out.”

“What would you like to start learning?” Zhang Dao Xuan asked with a smile.

Lin Yi pondered for a while, then said, “All my knowledge of alchemy was self-studied, and my knowledge of basic herbs is only bookish. If possible, I wish to learn from scratch.”

There were many basic Spirit Grass that he wasn’t familiar with. To farm the experience for alchemy, he had been crafting the same pills every day.

Zhang Dao Xuan slowly nodded, “I had the same intention. Let’s start from the Misty Forest Herb Garden in the Wood Element area.”

Saying this, he casually waved his hand, and the scene before them changed. When the illusion stopped, they had already arrived in the medicine garden located on the Misty Forest Gorge.

Lin Yi looked around at the mist and curiously asked, “Master, I heard when the Secret Realm was first opened, someone saw a Giant Python at the bottom of the gorge. I wonder if it’s still here after a thousand years, and if it has evolved into a Jiao Dragon.”

“Oh, since you’re curious, follow me down to take a look.” Zhang Dao Xuan chuckled, jumping off the bridge with Lin Yi. As they descended, the mist in front of them gradually thinned.
