My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Chapter 154

Chapter 154

After taking the initiative to find Qin Ran, Long Qiqi's cultivation path finally began officially. She had cultivation techniques, cultivation methods, and cultivation plans. She was no longer confused or anxious.

She would take the path that Li Shiyin had not taken before.

She began to study the physical structure of the human body, the internal organs, meridians and acupoints. She also began to study medicinal materials, pharmacology, and prescriptions, and even started alchemy and cultivation.

Compared to Li Shiyin, she was more like Qin Ran's disciple, although she never called Qin Ran Master.

Of course, when it comes to who was more like Qin Ran's disciple, Tushan Youyou was more like Qin Ran's disciple than Li Shiyin. After all, Tushan Youyou would also learn array techniques from Qin Ran, while Li Shiyin could not learn sword techniques from Qin Ran.

This made Li Shiyin feel a sense of crisis. Recently, the time she spent going out had drastically shortened. She spent her days curled up on Danfeng sleeping...sleeping...reading books!

Li Shiyin read books every day, and also wanted to learn alchemy!

Compared to cultivation, Long Qiqi was obviously much more talented in alchemy and medicine refinement... Someone as gloomy, dark, and complicated as her was quite suitable for researching these things.

Although...her talent points seemed to have been assigned incorrectly...by a tiny bit.

On the first floor of the Research Building, in the medicine preparation room, Qin Ran looked at the medicine Long Qiqi had configured. Looking at its pitch-black color, smelling its pungent odor, and reaching out to test the potency of the medicine, his testing finger visibly turned purple.

Qin Ran's face darkened. With his physique, he was actually obstructed by Long Qiqi's ordinary medicine to the point that his blood circulation was blocked.

"What medicine did I ask you to make?" he asked Long Qiqi.

Long Qiqi replied, "An ointment for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regenerating flesh and skin care."

"Then what medicine did you make?"

"A poison that coagulates blood, rots flesh, and seals the throat on sight of blood."

Qin Ran took two deep breaths to lower his blood pressure, then asked again, "Isn't there a rather big gap between these two medicines?"

"Actually not that big..." Long Qiqi answered seriously, "If you look closely, the ingredients used to make this poison are the ingredients used to make the ointment. The preparation method is also the one you taught me. It also involves the pharmacology you taught me.

"The only difference is that its effects are just the opposite.

"Elixirs and poisons are essentially the same thing in nature. As you said before, the yin and yang in pharmacology are like the palm and back of a hand - it's one thing."

What Long Qiqi said was reasonable. She did use the medicinal materials for wound medicine to make a poison that could seal the throat at the sight of blood. And the pharmacology involved was the same.

Looking at this poison, Qin Ran didn't know what to say for a moment. Long Qiqi had indeed learned everything he taught her, and she was using it very well, she just got it a bit twisted. "You really are a venomous snake!" He rolled his eyes. A perfectly good medicine for treating wounds could also be turned into deadly poison by her - that was also a kind of talent.

But after thinking about it, he decided not to forcibly correct her. A venomous snake's innate talent was venom after all, there was no need to change that.

Moreover, elixirs and poisons were indeed based on the same core principles.

If Long Qiqi liked to refine poisons, let her refine them. He would just teach her pharmacology normally.

However, there was one thing that had to be made clear to this dark lolita beforehand...

"No matter what kind of poison you refine, don't use it in Danfeng!" he warned Long Qiqi very seriously. "Once discovered, you will be expelled from Danfeng... If it's serious, I'll kill you myself."

Long Qiqi did not get Qin Ran scolding her for messing up the medicine, nor did she get Qin Ran forbidding her from refining poisons. Instead, she got Qin Ran warning her not to use poisons in Danfeng...

She realized that Qin Ran really was different from all the other people she had seen before.

This man was too good, his state of mind was too high.

She nodded her head repeatedly and said with a smile, "Why would I use poison in Danfeng?"

But seeing this dark lolita, Qin Ran still didn't feel at ease and said:

"As a researcher... alchemist, you will have to write alchemy reports in the future. Every instance of alchemy and medicine refinement needs to be recorded truthfully. Every step of medicine refinement, what raw materials were used, what medicinal materials were added in each step, how much was added, the extraction and purification situation of the medicinal materials, extraction and purification times, reaction times, reaction changes, reaction results, etc. Record everything and submit it to me. Later I'll give you a record of my own medicine refinement, follow that format.

"Also, from now on, you are not allowed to go to the medicine warehouse to take medicinal materials by yourself. You must report to Xin first. And the poisons you refine all need to be collected properly, labeled clearly, and placed in the poison building on the fourth floor. Every time you use it, you must make a record."

He looked at Long Qiqi and asked, "Understand?"

Long Qiqi, who had just felt that Qin Ran was not bad, suddenly felt bored when he imposed so many restrictions. She responded reluctantly, "Oh!"

"I'm not stopping you from refining poisons, nor from using them, I just don't want you to abuse them and hurt the innocent," Qin Ran said. "Cultivation is often about cultivating one's heart and mind. Power and slaughter can make cultivators become twisted and go berserk..."

The young lolita didn't understand these things, nor did she want to understand. She just felt Qin Ran was being long-winded, and retorted, "Wasn't Shijiekui Timber Wolf fine after killing so many people? You don't think it did anything wrong, do you?"

"From the perspective of Heaven's Way and Shijiekui Timber Wolf itself, it didn't really do anything wrong," Qin Ran explained. "But from the perspective of cultivation, suddenly gaining so much power in an instant and wiping out so many lives in a flash, don't you think it would twist one's mind?

"I don't know if Shijiekui Timber Wolf's mind got twisted, but I know you definitely won't be able to keep your original heart!"

"Don't underestimate people!" Long Qiqi sneered.

Actually she knew Qin Ran was right, she was just annoyed by his nagging.

"In any case, the rules I mentioned regarding your alchemy must be followed." Seeing Long Qiqi's impatient expression, Qin Ran didn't say any more, just leaving her with a final warning.

Long Qiqi rolled her eyes and responded listlessly, "Alright, I know."

"That's it for today's pharmacology lesson, go back and comprehend aura by yourself..." Qin Ran shook his head and turned to leave. "Condense your aura vortex as soon as possible."

That's how it was. Long Qiqi did have exceptional talent in alchemy, but she was better at refining elixirs in reverse - medicine for treating illness and saving lives, she would refine into drugs that killed; medicine for increasing aura and restoring blood, she would refine into medicine that depleted aura and blood.

She should not be called an alchemist, she should be called a poison refiner.

When Qin Ran came out of the Research Building, he arrived at the cabin and saw Li Shiyin listlessly swinging on the swing under the Spirit Maple Tree. On her closed thighs was a medicinal materials encyclopedia.

Seeing his silly disciple looking like this, Qin Ran was very curious - since when did Li Shiyin sulk?

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

Li Shiyin turned her head to glance at Qin Ran, sighed, dragged out her voice to yell "Master~", then turned back again to keep swinging on the swing.

Qin Ran sat down on a chair at the side and took out his elixir manual. He smiled and asked, "Who on earth upset our female sword immortal?"

Li Shiyin widened her big eyes and looked sharply at Qin Ran.

"Me?" Qin Ran was baffled. "What have I done recently?"

Li Shiyin stopped swinging, got up with the book in her lap, walked over to Qin Ran, and pouted, "Master, you're not teaching me alchemy!"

"Ah?" Qin Ran was surprised.

"You're not teaching me array techniques either!"

"Um..." Qin Ran started thinking.

"Are you even my master anymore?" Li Shiyin pointed her book at Qin Ran and asked.

Seeing his silly disciple's angry look, Qin Ran asked, "So what do you think we should do?"

"Teach me alchemy!"

"No problem..." Qin Ran nodded.

Li Shiyin cheered up again. She pulled up a chair next to Qin Ran, holding the medicinal materials encyclopedia.

She pointed to a strangely shaped plant in the book and asked Qin Ran, "Master, what is this?"

"You're holding the book upside down..."

Ten minutes later, a certain female sword immortal fell into dreamland.
