Chapter 853: Chapter 851: Guiding Gu Yueqing! In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed!
During this half-month, Gu Yueqing had been in closed-door healing.
Meanwhile, Lu Qingyu stayed in the Purple Bamboo Grove, discussing Dan Dao with Lin Bai.
It was unclear whether Lu Qingyu genuinely wanted to discuss Dan Dao with Lin Bai or just wanted to keep an eye on Lin Bai to prevent any nefarious plots!
However, with the exchange over this half-month,
Lu Qingyu grew increasingly astonished by Lin Bai and felt that Lin Bai was unfathomably deep!
Especially since Lu Qingyu felt that Lin Baiâs attainment in Dan Dao was almost on par with a King-level Alchemist.
Lu Qingyu said, "Lin Bai, why not leave the Sword Art Academy and come to our Dan Dao Courtyard? I assure you that you will become the Vice Dean of the Dan Dao Courtyard!"
Lin Bai shook his head with a wry smile, "Sword Art is my way, and Dan Dao is just an interest. If I hadnât joined the Sword Art Academy, I might have joined the Dan Dao Courtyard instead, but now that the Sword Art Academy has chosen me, I wonât leave."
Lu Qingyu shook his head helplessly and said, "Thatâs truly a pity. With such outstanding talent in Dan Dao, itâs really a waste not to come to the Dan Dao Courtyard!"
Lin Bai smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Just then, Gu Yueqing emerged from her room and asked with a smile, "Master, what are you and Brother Lin discussing?"
Lu Qingyu laughed and said, "Just having a casual chat. Qingâer, howâs your injury?"
Gu Yueqing laughed, "After half a month of recuperation, Iâm not seriously hindered. But, Brother Lin, tomorrow is the day you and Qiu Yukui have agreed to hold the alchemy challenge, and yet you havenât taught me how to concoct the Human Emperor Elixir."
"With half a month spent healing, weâve wasted too much time. Shall we postpone the date of the alchemy task by half a month?"
Gu Yueqing suggested.
What Gu Yueqing worried about was that the half-month spent on healing had taken up much time, and if she couldnât learn in a short period, she might end up harming Lin Bai.
Lu Qingyu said, "Exactly, I will step in and push the alchemy date back by half a month!"
Lin Bai chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No need, one night is enough!"
"Besides, Senior Lu Qingyu, if you were to step forward and postpone the alchemy date, wouldnât that make Qiu Yukui think Iâm feeling guilty?"
"Thereâs no need for that; one night is ample time for me to teach Miss Gu Yueqing alchemy!"
Lin Bai said with a gentle smile.
Gu Yueqing laughed, "Brother Lin, stop calling me Miss Gu Yueqing, just call me Qingâer."
"This..." Lin Bai paused in surprise upon hearing this.
The name âQingâerâ was much too affectionate.
Lu Qingyu looked at Gu Yueqing with surprise and noticed the affection in her eyes, then with a shifty glance and a hearty laugh, "Friend Lin Bai, weâre all people of the Jianghu. Thereâs no need to abide by such cumbersome formalities."
"Since Qingâer has said so, you should just call her that."
Lin Bai said with a smile, "Since Senior Lu Qingyu has said so, Lin Mou shall humbly comply."
"In that case, Qingâer, you donât have to call me Brother Lin anymore, just use my name."
Lin Bai smiled faintly.
Lu Qingyuâs face beamed with joy as he said, "Given the urgency, Lin Bai, go ahead and teach Qingâer alchemy. Iâll excuse myself."
"No need, Senior Lu Qingyu, stay here,"
"After all, after Iâve taught Qingâer, she would tell you anyway. It would be redundant."
"You should stay."
Lin Bai said, smiling.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyuâs face flushed with excitement, and he was overjoyed.
As Lin Bai said, even if Gu Yueqing learned and then told Lu Qingyu, it would still be akin to Lu Qingyu learning by stealth, which wouldnât reflect well on him if known.
Excitedly, Lu Qingyu said, "Lin Bai, to be honest, I have been researching the Three Great Miracle Pills of the Dan Dao Courtyard for sixty years now and have yet to achieve any results."
"Now that you can make Qingâer refine the Human Emperor Elixir, itâs already a huge stroke of fortune,"
Lu Qingyu said excitedly.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Then letâs get started."
"First of all, donât use the Red Sun Cauldron when refining the Human Emperor Elixir..."
Lin Bai truly never ceased to shock everyone!
This statement alone made Gu Yueqing reconsider using the Red Sun Cauldron for Alchemy.
Lu Qingyu, puzzled, asked, "Why?"
Gu Yueqing also looked bewildered as she asked, "Lin Bai, the Red Sun Cauldron is a treasure of the Dan Dao Courtyard, a Nine-grade Spirit Tool; using it to refine elixirs would greatly enhance the success rate, wouldnât it?"
Lin Bai said indifferently, "The Red Sun Cauldron is a yang-attributed elixir furnace. If it is used to refine the Human Emperor Elixir, the Red Sun Cauldron will increase the spiritual power within the elixir, preventing the elixir from reaching a balanced state of yin and yang."
"If thereâs the slightest inconvenience, it might even burn the Human Emperor Elixir because of the Red Sun Cauldronâs influence!"
"This was a big drawback in your Alchemy one month ago."
Gu Yueqing and Lu Qingyu both listened in stunned silence.
Lu Qingyu said, "Since Lin Bai advises against using the Red Sun Cauldron, letâs not use it. Weâll switch to a different elixir furnace."
Gu Yueqing also nodded in agreement.
Ever since refining the Heaven Repairing Pill in Elixir King City, Gu Yueqing had felt a profound confidence in Lin Bai.
Being able to refine King-Level Elixirs was proof enough that Lin Baiâs expertise in the Dan Dao Courtyard far surpassed both Gu Yueqingâs and Lu Qingyuâs.
"Next, itâs the order in which the Spiritual Medicines are added; you should change the sequence for the Nine Lives Grass, Phoenix Flower, Spirit Fruits... and so on for these one hundred and eight types of Spiritual Medicines."
"Then add the Blood of the Thousand Year Blood Ginseng and..."
Lin Bai talked on and on in front of Lu Qingyu and Gu Yueqing.
Once he started, Lin Bai couldnât stop, and he talked to Lu Qingyu and Gu Yueqing throughout the night.
He spelled out every detail of refining the Human Emperor Elixir very clearly.
Having heard it all, Lu Qingyu and Gu Yueqing felt as though a new world had opened before them.
Especially Lu Qingyu, who, after listening, was visibly excited, murmuring to himself, "So this is how one should properly refine the Human Emperor Elixir!"
"No wonder I couldnât succeed after such a long time!"
"Lin Bai, this is a debt of gratitude that my Dan Dao Courtyard owes you!"
Lu Qingyu expressed his gratitude to Lin Bai with a clasped-hands salute.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Thereâs no need for such formalities, Senior Lu Qingyu. This is what I promised to the Dan Dao Courtyard, and Lin Mou naturally will see it through."
"Qingâer, you will conduct Alchemy in the Arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard tomorrow. I need to watch by your side in case thereâs a flaw, so I can immediately guide you from there."
"I believe refining the Human Emperor Elixir tomorrow shouldnât be difficult," Lin Bai said with a slight smile.
After listening to Lin Baiâs explanation, Gu Yueqing felt full of confidence, even more so than before when she had refined the Human Emperor Elixir.
"If all goes well tomorrow, it should be a successful refinement!"
Gu Yueqing was thrilled as she looked at Lin Bai, her eyes filled with curiosity.
She was eager to know why Lin Baiâs proficiency in the Dan Dao was so immensely high!
It vastly exceeded that of everyone at the Miracle Ridge!
After discussing the details of the Human Emperor Elixirâs refinement, Lin Bai took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Thanks to the Dan Dao Memories of the Great Demonâs lifetime; otherwise, I wouldnât know how to refine the Human Emperor Elixir!"
