Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Liu Zixiao couldn’t help but think that this disciple had several Dao Companions.

Especially those called Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli, they look so small...

Just the thought made her skin tingle with goosebumps under her clothes.

I really wonder how they manage to handle it.

Seeing Liu Zixiao staring at him, Qin Yu felt awkward and cautiously asked, ”Master Liu, is there any more of this medicinal liquid?”

”The medicinal liquid can’t be used indefinitely.”

Liu Zixiao withdrew her gaze and said, ”Everything has its pros and cons; don’t you understand the principle of moderation?”

Qin Yu sensed his internal condition.

Everything was normal, his blood and Qi surged, and the Spiritual Qi within his meridians and Dantian showed no sign of instability.

He couldn’t help but ask in confusion, ”Master, what are the drawbacks of using the medicated bath?”

He even dropped the ”Liu” part, bringing the two of them closer.

”Your body will...”

Wait a moment.

Liu Zixiao stopped mid-sentence.

Qin Yu was still in the bath barrel, yet his aura showed no signs of weakness.

This guy, is he really that... robust?

”You should consolidate first...”

Liu Zixiao decided to observe further.

”Yes!”

Qin Yu was about to cultivate when she handed him a Storage Ring, ”There are some Spirit Stones inside; use them first. If they’re not enough, ask me for more.”

”Thank you, Master.”

Qin Yu was delighted, calling her master was even more natural now.

A brief sensing.

Though most were Lower Grade Spirit Stones, there were dozens of Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

”Hold off using the Middle Grade Spirit Stones until your cultivation level increases,” Liu Zixiao reminded him.

”Thank you for the reminder, Master.”

In fact, even if she hadn’t mentioned it, Qin Yu understood. Ultimately, it came down to his Root Bone and Realm being too low.

Then, Liu Zixiao glanced at him and turned around, giving him some privacy.

Qin Yu smiled slightly, getting dressed while pretending to know nothing.

Once he was dressed, Liu Zixiao turned back, but her eyes couldn’t help but drift to Qin Yu’s...

Clothes.

She quickly averted her gaze, feigning calmness.

It’s over, it’s over!

Can’t shake it off!

If only she hadn’t agreed with the Sect Leader, it would have been better if she had come herself.

”Focus on your cultivation here!”

Liu Zixiao no longer felt like staying, so she let Qin Yu cultivate on his own.

Leaving the Alchemy Room, she directly entered the main house, skillfully pushing open the small door engraved with ”Cultivation Room”.

This was clearly the place for the Sect Leader’s seclusion.

The fact that she could enter freely showed how close they were.

However, the Sect Leader inside the Cultivation Room wasn’t actually cultivating but was engrossed in a book.

Good grief!

So she disturbed her while reading a book through voice transmission earlier?!

Liu Zixiao was quite annoyed.

Upon noticing someone entering, the Sect Leader quickly put away the book and resumed her usual dignified and graceful demeanor.

She lightly parted her lips, her voice carrying a hint of reprimand and authority, ”I am focusing on repairing a damaged ancient array, a task of unparalleled complexity. How dare you storm in without notice, disrupting my thoughts?!”

”Make sure it doesn’t happen next time!”

The Sect Leader said all this without a flush or a heartbeat skip.

Liu Zixiao rolled her eyes.

If you didn’t really know her, you might actually believe it!

”Qin Yu has already had one medicated bath...” Liu Zixiao briefly explained the situation that had occurred earlier.

”Oh, the results are good; let him continue using it. The Demon Sect sent quite a few; it’s good to advance him to Foundation Establishment sooner.”

The Sect Leader showed a nonchalant attitude.

Perhaps when Su Xiyue agreed back then, she considered this aspect.

As the Saintess, she naturally understood the sect’s situation. Although there were plenty of resources, there were also many people to share them with.

If everything was given to Qin Yu, it would certainly cause some grievances.

”You go yourself.”

Liu Zixiao had already made up her mind, and she definitely wanted her good sister to share in it.

”No way!”

The Sect Leader refused without a second thought.

As Sect Leader, how could she watch over a man taking a medicated bath?!

No, absolutely not.

Moreover, wasn’t this creating an opportunity for her good sister?

Don’t look down on Qin Yu just because he’s a Qi Refining Cultivator now; once he grows, he’ll definitely be a match for Liu Zixiao.

It seemed Liu Zixiao anticipated her refusal and said calmly, ”He is your disciple; you chose him.”

”Isn’t he also calling you Master Liu?” Su Xihe retorted.

Liu Zixiao was silent for a moment, then suggested, ”In that case, how about we take turns watching over him?”

”...”

Su Xihe was momentarily speechless.

Fine, fine, you just have to drag me down with you.

Then don’t blame her for using her status to pressure, ”I am the Sect Leader!”

”Yes, you are the Sect Leader.”

Liu Zixiao paused, muttering, ”If those old folks knew you weren’t fulfilling your duty as his master...”

”Liu Zixiao!”

The Sect Leader immediately glared at her, ”I’m doing this for your sake.”

”Not needed!”

For some reason, perhaps thinking of something, Liu Zixiao shivered slightly.

Ultimately, the Sect Leader compromised.

However, she was obviously much more cautious than Liu Zixiao, always preparing the medicated bath first herself before calling Qin Yu in from her room.

For some reason, Qin Yu felt a bit down.

Of course, he had no other thoughts; he merely wished for his master to see how diligent he was in his cultivation.

On the same day, during a medicated bath, Qin Yu broke through to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

He could start Alchemy!

Su Xihe let him stabilize his realm for a day before beginning to teach him how to perform Alchemy.

”The most important step in Alchemy is this: Condensing Pill. The entire process must be continuous, hence requiring the support of your cultivation level...”

She explained meticulously, and Qin Yu listened intently, staring at the Sect Leader with such focus he didn’t want to blink.

The key is utmost concentration.

”Did you listen carefully?” The Sect Leader narrowed her eyes slightly.

”Listened carefully.”

Qin Yu nodded, repeating her words verbatim without missing a thing.

Did I imagine it?!

The Sect Leader didn’t think much more, then started to demonstrate for him.

With her cultivation, refining the most basic First Level Elixir naturally didn’t take much effort, but she slowed down, allowing Qin Yu to clearly see and remember.

”Crack, crack, crack...”

As she patted with her hands, the medicinal liquid in the Alchemy Furnace bubbled continuously. The Sect Leader said, ”In one portion of herbs, the properties of various Spirit Medicines differ. In the future, refining Second Level or even Third Level Elixirs, you might encounter the phenomenon of conflicting medicinal properties...”

”Condense!”

With the Sect Leader’s gentle exclamation, an elixir floated out of the Alchemy Furnace.

It looked so simple.

Qin Yu was eager to try.

The Sect Leader wasn’t afraid of wasting a portion of herbs and told him, ”Give it a try.”

Heh!

This is the time to let this disciple face some setbacks.

Alchemy is not that easy.

When he bumps into a wall, he’ll come back asking this master for guidance.
