Chapter 124: Wan Qiu's Improvement and Chu Yang's Recovery

The next few days after Xuan Hao returned to the sect with Chu Yang passed by peacefully without anything important happening. The only thing worth mentioning over the past few days was the progress that the Alchemy Hall had made towards creating a cure for the plague ravaging through the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

The notebook of lord Kubera was especially helpful in this regard, as Elder Wan Qiu especially managed to learn a lot from the notebook.

Since getting her hands on the notebook of lord Kubera, she had managed to take a step further and reach was in a realm above the Expert Alchemist Realm in knowledge, but she still remained below the Artisan Alchemist Realm overall.

There was no such thing as half-step realm in Alchemy, as you could either make a pill or potion at the required realm or you could not. To explain Elder Wan Qiu's current Realm would be that she had the knowledge of a newly promoted Artisan Alchemist, but she had not yet managed to breakthrough yet, still just barely unable to refine pills or potions at the Soul Rank.

Xuan Hao felt quite happy when he heard about this, as the strength of the sect would increase by a lot if Wan Qiu managed to become an Artisan Alchemist.

The main importance of Artisan Alchemist for a big sect was the potions and pills that they made for helping Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the sect more easily recover from battle. Most importantly they could help increase the cultivation speed of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators by amplifying the effect of certain useful spiritual herbs by refining them into either pills or potions.

For example, if the Infernal Heart Grass got refined into a pill by an Alchemist at the Artisan Realm, its effectiveness for fire type cultivators would increase more than 5 times over!

This easily showed how useful Artisan Alchemist were in sects and how valued they were.

Qing Yi had also started learning under some of the elders of the Alchemy Hall once a week so as to not take away too much time from her normal cultivation, Xuan Hao did not really care much about this, as the elders from the Alchemy Hall did not plan to steal away his disciple and even if they wanted to, they would not be able to.

Today, Chu Yang had finally finished completely recovering back to his former state of mind and had already begun training in training ground besides the pavilion together with his senior sister Qing Yi.

Xuan Hao had just arrived at the training ground and saw the scene of both his disciple locked in a practice fight with each other at the centre.

Chu Yang had a heavy spear in hand that he had purchased just before getting kidnapped by the Black Rose Sect a few days ago, the spear had originally been dropped by him when he got kidnapped and the elder in charge of protecting him had handed over the heavy spear to Xuan Hao a day after he had returned to the sect again with Chu Yang.

Qing Yi on the other hand wielded a short sword as she nimbly dodged the attacks of Chu Yang.

Seeing how both of them were completely concentrated and focused on their practice fight, Xuan Hao decided not to interrupt them and instead found a quiet place from where he could observe their fight and see what parts he could help them improve in.

"Hah!" Swinging down with his spear, Chu Yang looked more like he was using a hammer of some sort instead of a spear as the heavy spear hit the place Qing Yi was standing just a moment ago.

Chu Yang did not dare to stay in place for long as he quickly used the heavy spear to defend from a swift sword stab by Qing Yi coming in his direction.

Following this, Chu Yang knocked her sword to the side before closing the distance in an instant, knocking the air out of her lungs with a quick elbow strike as Qing Yi collapsed onto the ground breathing heavily trying to regain her breathing again.

"I win again!" Smiling triumphantly as he looked at Qing Yi slowly standing up again with a slightly annoyed look, Chu Yang felt that it was a great feeling whenever he won.

Even though he had a higher cultivation and more experience when it came to combat compared to his senior sister, Chu Yang still felt great whenever he ended up winning against her.

Qing Yi on the other hand felt quite annoyed and frustrated whenever she lost to Chu Yang, she was supposed to be the senior sister! How come she can't win against him whenever they fight!? Maybe she was using too much time on alchemy lately and needed to focus more on her cultivation in the future.

Thinking about this, Qing Yi decided that she would spend less time on alchemy after the Alchemy Competition was over and focus on improving her cultivation! She could not continue losing to her junior brother!

"Hm… It seems both of them improved quite a bit while I was gone…" Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao thoroughly inspected both of his disciples. Neither of them had made any improvements when it came to their cultivation realm, but both of them had on the other hand grown when it came to combat experience.

Chu Yang had not grown so much, the one with the biggest growth among the two of them would be Qing Yi, as she did not have anyone who would truly practice with her back in the Bright Sun City.

Now on the other hand, Chu Yang was more than willing to fight her with all his strength without holding back! The elbow attack from earlier was more than enough for Xuan Hao to see that his second disciple did not seem to have the idea of going easier on the fairer sex.

Now he would not have to worry about his second disciple ending up falling for a certain type of trap when he went outside to explore the world in the future.

Smiling a bit upon thinking this, Xuan Hao made his way out of his hiding spot towards the place his disciples were standing.
