Chapter 271: Alchemy Flame
Chen Tian wasn't dissatisfied when Xu Zhiyuan effortlessly stopped his attack. He knew extremely well the difference between someone who was still in the stage of Law and someone in the Dao Stage.
Once a cultivator reaches the Dao Stage, also known as the Dao Fusion Realm, their strength, connection, and understanding of heaven deepen.
When cultivators advance to that stage, their bodies change. They become stronger and more durable. They can withstand powerful attacks from others who are still at the Law Stage.
As they advance in their cultivation, a natural shield forms around their bodies. This shield is made of Dao energy, which is connected to heaven itself.
This barrier, crafted from Dao energy, acted as an invisible shield enveloping them, deflecting any incoming attacks.
Chen Tian sighed, looking at the barrier that stopped all five of his swords as if they were made of paper.
"You really are something else, kid. I never thought that you could possess such powerful attack power," Xu Zhiyuan said, shaking his head in disbelief.
Surprise after surprise, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help but admire Chen Tian's talent.
He was satisfied after testing Chen Tian's strength.
With his current strength, Chen Tian could easily secure a spot in the top 10 rankings of the Outer Court, even while still in the 2nd Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Your next read awaits at m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net
What would happen when he reached the Peak of the Foundation Realm or higher?
If he continues to cultivate at this pace, he will undoubtedly reach the pinnacle of success in a short period.
Xu Zhiyuan was thrilled.
'Hahaha, my own disciples are the best! Those old geezers were bragging about their disciples all this time, and it started pissing me off, but now that I have a genius disciple alongside a monster beside her, just wait till both of them cultivate and reach the level of those older disciples and see how they will react.'
Xu Zhiyuan was already planning on how to shock those old bastards; he couldn't help but laugh in his mind at the thought of his disciples outperforming the disciples of those old guys.
"I never thought you could have such strength." Duan Shu approached them, her face still calm, with no hint of emotion.
Xu Zhiyuan had originally noticed her presence a while ago but didn't acknowledge her until now since he was excited about testing Chen Tian.
"Cough, oh, I just remembered Duan Shu, why did you ask my disciple to go to your peak?" Xu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered Duan Shu's request for Chen Tian to visit her peak.
Since he just came back, he was still clueless about what happened in these five months.
"Perhaps we can discuss this further over at my Mountain Peak?" Duan Shu spoke, her eyes betraying a hint of curiosity.
Xu Zhiyuan nodded, not refusing her offer; he was also curious about Duan Shu requesting Chen Tian to visit her.
The three of them made their way to Duan Shu's peak, where they could further discuss things.
Returning to the Pill Pavilion, Yin Yun was still working on her pill, from the energy the cauldron was releasing; it shouldn't take much longer for the pill to be completed.
So Duan Shu, Chen Tian, and Xu Zhiyuan settled in to wait for Yin Yun to finish creating her pill. As they sat in comfortable silence, Duan Shu finally revealed the true reason for needing Chen Tian to visit her Mountain Peak.
She did not have to conceal anything from Xu Zhiyuan, as he was the Chen Tian master, and Chen Tian appeared unbothered by it.
Chen Tian didn't listen to their talk and chose to meditate, trying to recover his lost Qi, since he used more than half of his Qi earlier and will need his spiritual Qi later when he tries to learn alchemy.
He already found many problems when he was attacking Xu Zhiyuan, and he wanted to try and solve them.
After an hour had passed, Yin Yun finally succeeded in creating her pill.
"I did it!" exclaimed Yin Yun, holding up the completed pill for everyone to see.
It was a red pill, shimmering in the dim light of the room. Duan Shu smiled, nodding in approval at the pill.
With just a glance, she was able to accurately assess its quality.
"Tranquil Lotus Essence Pill?" Xu Zhiyuan spoke, raising an eyebrow as he saw the pill in Yin Yun's hand.
When consumed, the Tranquil Lotus Essence pill brings a sense of serenity. It aligns the meridians, smoothing the flow of Qi. Cultivators experience heightened awareness during meditation, and their cultivation progresses steadily.
"True, the pill's purity is also not bad at all," Yin Yun replied, a proud smile on her face. "It's a Top Notch Grade 2 pill with 70% purity."
Duan Shu nodded, acknowledging Yin Yun's significant improvement in achieving 70% purity, which is commendable.
"Hehe, thank you, master. I've been working hard to master this pill," Yin Yun said modestly, her eyes shining with determination.
Chen Tian opened his eyes from his meditation after hearing the conversation from the others.
"Huff." He took a deep breath as Qi escaped from his mouth, feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
"I still can't believe it. Does this kid really have special Yang Qi?" Xu Zhiyuan turned to Duan Shu to reaffirm what he heard.
Duan Shu nodded, "Yes, he indeed possesses a unique Yang Qi. It's quite rare; personally, I never encountered such strong Qi for someone who is still in the Foundation Realm." Xu Zhiyuan's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Duan Shu's words.
Not only him, but those who knew who Duan Shu was will find it hard to believe it, since the woman had the best ingredients in her possession, and yet she said she never saw such a Yang Qi before.
Duan Shu didn't mention the taste, otherwise, she would confirm to them that she drank some of his Yang Qi, which would make her die of embarrassment.
"Later, I will take you and check if you have any physique since I couldn't find it; it would be better that we use a special tool to confirm if you have a physique," Xu Zhiyuan suggested this time.
Duan Shu agreed, knowing that it was crucial to understand why Chen Tian's Yang Qi was special. "I don't mind testing my physique."
Chen Tian didn't refuse and didn't pay attention to it since he already knew what his physique was, but he was curious if the tool that Xu Zhiyuan mentioned would be able to detect it.
"Anyway, here, take this." Duan Shu tossed a book at Chen Tian.
"Master, are you going to teach him now?" Yin Yun asked Duan Shu, who smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will teach him; since I promised to do that, I will keep my word."
Chen Tian eagerly accepted the book, then looked at the book cover. The title read, "Basic Alchemy Flame Control."
