Other than the wall that had just been blasted black and the faint smell of medicinal herbs that had not completely dispersed.
“Take a seat wherever you like, Junior Brother Lu.”
After entering the cave abode, Gu Zecang thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had just stored away all the cauldrons that had been blown up and the remaining medicinal herbs over the past few days.
Otherwise, if he let Lu Ming see all the Rank 1 medicinal herbs, he would be exposed completely.
Lu Ming walked inside the cave abode and sat down after hearing Gu Zecang’s words. At the same time, he could tell from the smell of the remaining medicinal herbs that Gu Zecang was previously refining the spirit gathering elixir.
“Alright, since Junior Brother Lu is willing to let me teach you alchemy, I won’t hold back.”
“However, the path of alchemy isn’t easy, it’s far more difficult than when you and I were cultivating.”
“Junior Brother Lu, are you mentally prepared?”
Gu Zecang stood in the hall and said to Lu Ming with a serious expression.
“Of course, junior brother will remember.”
Lu Ming also put on a serious expression and said with extreme solemnity.
Hearing this, Gu Zecang waved his hand.
“Okay, then today I will first teach you the most basic and important thing.”
“That is, condensing pill fire!”
Then, Gu Zecang raised his left hand and first used spiritual power to create a flame, then let the water element in his body surge.
He began to condense pill fire in front of Lu Ming.
Speaking of alchemy, Gu Zecang felt that he was still short of something.
But when it came to pill fire…
Gu Zecang felt that no one knew better than him.
When he first entered the sect, after Gu Zecang’s passed the qualification test set by the Pill Peak elder, the elder taught him the method of pill fire.
Therefore, when Gu Zecang first learned how to condense spiritual power from an Outer Disciple, he began to try to condense the pill fire.
Because condensing the pill fire was not only useful for alchemy but also very helpful for a cultivator to control spiritual power, Gu Zecang never abandoned it.
This was also the reason why he dared to bet with the disciples of the Pill Peak.
The pill fire was a skill that an alchemist had to learn. If an ordinary alchemist could successfully condense the pill fire within a year, they would be considered qualified.
Within a year, to be able to condense the pill fire within an hour was considered an excellent skill.
And to condense the pill fire within half an hour, one would be considered a genius alchemist!
Almost three years had passed since Gu Zecang started learning the art of pill fire. He had already completely mastered the art of pill fire.
An hour later.
Gu Zecang, who was drenched in sweat, successfully neutralized the water element with his spiritual energy flames. Finally, an exquisite blue ball of flame was formed.
“Junior brother, this is pill fire. It is the most important thing to an alchemist. The first thing you need to learn is this.”
“Considering that you didn’t have the foundation to condense the pill fire before, there should be a lot of problems with condensing the pill fire for the first time. But don’t worry, just practise diligently.”
Gu Zecang swung his right arm and placed it on the back of his waist. Combined with his appearance and temperament, he did have the feeling of an alchemist.
And condensing the pill fire was naturally his way of holding Lu Ming back, he estimated that Lu Ming would be able to successfully condense the pill fire, and then shorten the time to about an hour.
Not to mention that Lu Ming had ordinary alchemy talent.
Even if he was a true alchemy genius, he would need at least a year.
This one year’s time was just enough for him to “return from his studies” at Pill Peak. By that time, it wouldn’t be too late to teach Junior Brother Lu Ming.
“So this is the pill fire.”
After Lu Ming heard this, he looked at the mottled pill fire in Gu Zecang’s palm and nodded curiously.
“That’s right. Come, Junior Brother Lu, I’ll first tell you the Heart Sutra and formula to condense the pill fire. Then, you can try condensing it once so that I can give you some pointers.”
As Gu Zecang spoke, he passed the pill fire technique that the Pill Peak elder had taught him to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming took it and subconsciously began to compare the content on it with the content of scientific alchemy.
After comparing them, he acted as if he suddenly understood. “Senior brother, I’ve remembered it.”
“Very good!”
“Since you’ve remembered it, then start condensing the pill fire.”
Gu Zecang revealed a smile.
This way, when Junior Brother Lu Ming failed to condense the pill fire, he would have the opportunity to let him go back and train properly.
He also had time to think about how he could learn alchemy techniques from the disciples of the Pill Peak when he cleaned up the ashes in the future.
It was not that he, Gu Zecang, was a saint and was willing to beg people for Lu Ming.
It was that he had indeed lost the bet this time. Tomorrow was the day he would go to Pill Peak to perform alchemy.
In the end, he had not even managed to refine a single elixir.
Moreover, he wanted to learn. Ever since his cultivation base had reached the early stage of Core Formation, he had frequently encountered situations where he did not have enough elixirs when he fought against the heretics due to their higher realms.
He had to learn about alchemy on his own!
“Senior Brother Gu, do you think this is…”
Just as Gu Zecang’s thoughts were churning, Lu Ming, who was behind him, suddenly opened his mouth and said to him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zecang planned to use his prepared script to directly exhort Lu Ming.
“That’s normal. This is your first time condensing a pill fire. The condensation is… Eh!?”
Gu Zecang turned around and was halfway through his sentence.
However, when he looked closely, he discovered that Lu Ming’s palm had condensed a pill fire!
Moreover, the pill fire’s state was incomparably stable. The water element and spiritual flame had fused perfectly!
Moreover, it was extremely pure, without a trace of mottling.
It was many times stronger than the pill fire that he had repeatedly condensed for three years!
This?!
Was this a joke?!
Just now, he, Gu Zecang, had turned around to think, and he hadn’t even taken ten breaths.
During this time, Lu Ming had already condensed a pure pill fire!?
This was crazy!
He remembered that the Pill Peak elder had immersed himself in the path of alchemy for fifty years. Even condensing a pill fire took sixty breaths of time!
This Junior Brother Lu, who had just moved here, actually spent less than ten breaths of time!
To be able to shorten the time for the formation of the pill fire to seven minutes, which was about four hundred breaths, was already considered a genius in the way of alchemy.
What was this?
If Heaven fails Lu Ming, would the way of alchemy be like the eternal night?!
For a moment, Gu Zecang was completely stunned on the spot.
There was no other way.
To condense a complete pill fire at such a speed and to condense a pure pill fire for that matter, any disciple who had ever done alchemy would know how exaggerated this was.
It was like someone telling those Outer Disciples who were cultivating and had to breathe in and out dozens of times a day before they finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage three years later, that there was one disciple who didn’t do it much every day but in the end, he was able to reach the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Stage in six months.
When he finally broke through, he didn’t even bother to sit down cross-legged. It was as if he had broken through while walking.
Was this possible?

It was simply impossible.
This was simply too ridiculous!
Phew.
Gu Zecang let out a long breath and forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart!
He looked at Lu Ming with a complicated expression.
