Chapter 57: The Alchemist, Just a Hobby (Part 1)

In the end, Elder Sun followed Li Qiyi's advice and stopped feeding the Fire Dragon Grass to the creature. Instead, he purchased the Yi River Fire Tree at a high price to feed it.

Sure enough, a month later, Elder Sun excitedly came to the solitary peak. At that moment, he had forgotten his identity as an elder and was as excited as a young man, saying happily, "It worked, it really worked. Now the blood flows smoothly, and the medicinal properties of the Divine Medicine are even stronger."

For such a result, Li Qiyi merely smiled. In terms of medicinal properties, the Divine Furnace, and the Way of Medicine... if he were to call himself second, no one in the entire ancient times would dare to call themselves first!

Li Qiyi's calmness moved Elder Sun. If other disciples were to receive such praise from an elder, they would be overjoyed. However, to Li Qiyi, such praise was as common as a daily meal.

"Did you practice the Way of Medicine when you joined the Xianyan Ancient Sect?" Elder Sun was moved and had a fondness for talent. At this moment, he thought of the Grand Elder. In recent years, the Grand Elder, who had been disheartened, suddenly became ambitious and strongly supported Li Qiyi. It seemed that Li Qiyi was indeed worth cultivating. Before this, they had underestimated Li Qiyi, or perhaps, for this disciple, ordinary body, ordinary wheel, and ordinary life were nothing!

Li Qiyi just smiled and said, "I occasionally read some books, nothing worth mentioning."

"Is this not worth mentioning?" Elder Sun was speechless. Li Qiyi's understanding of medicinal properties and his insights into the Divine Furnace were unique! Even he felt inferior!

Elder Sun couldn't help but say, "If you have difficulties in cultivation, you can also consider practicing the Way of Medicine. With your understanding of medicinal properties, I am extremely optimistic about you. You might become the second Divine Medicine!"

Elder Sun was extremely optimistic about the Li Qiyi before him. In his view, even if Li Qiyi was a cultivation failure, once he was willing to step into the Way of Medicine, he would definitely be a genius in the Way of Medicine!

"Divine Medicine?" A familiar name was mentioned again, and Li Qiyi couldn't help but smile.

Elder Sun, fearing that Li Qiyi didn't know who "Divine Medicine" was, quickly added, "The Divine Medicine can be called the ancestor of our alchemists. It can be said that most of the rules of refining pills and decocting medicines were established by him. It is even said that the title of Divine Furnace was also established by him. In the ancient times, he was the one who established a complete system for refining pills and decocting medicines. His contribution to the Way of Medicine is unparalleled, and it can be said that he is one of the highest achievers in the Way of Medicine in the entire ancient times!"

When Elder Sun talked about the Divine Medicine, Li Qiyi couldn't help but smile. The Divine Medicine, he knew all too well. It was a good memory for him. That old man was indeed a genius in the Way of Medicine, a fact that Li Qiyi, as the Crow of Yin, still acknowledged no matter how much time had passed.

Li Qiyi couldn't help but smile. When Elder Sun mentioned the Divine Medicine, it reminded him of some years in the ancient times. That was a time worth remembering. In those years, he had led the old man deep into the Nine Realms, crossing various burial grounds and immortal lands. During those years, they had made countless attempts to refine pills and decoct medicines, created numerous refining techniques, and formulated many unique pill recipes. They had even grown many soul herbs that others dared not even imagine...

That was a time full of passion. In those years, there was more creation, more experimentation, and more exploration of the unknown! In the later years, as the Crow of Yin, he had calculated the heavens countless times, ambushed giants, and bloodied the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths countless times! But few years could make him as nostalgic as those years.

In those years, there was more thirst for knowledge, and fewer days of slaughter and bloodshed.

Throughout the ancient times, whether it was alchemists or cultivators, they all believed that the Divine Medicine was the pinnacle of the Way of Medicine. This was not only because his achievements in the Way of Medicine were hard to match, but more importantly, he established a complete system for the Way of Medicine! He laid an immortal foundation for the Way of Medicine!

In fact, throughout the ancient times, no one knew that the foundation of the Way of Medicine was not laid by the Divine Medicine alone. The system of the Way of Medicine was not established by the Divine Medicine alone. There was a Crow of Yin, unknown to the world, who had made an enormous contribution to the innovation and establishment of the system of the Way of Medicine!

It could be said that without this Crow of Yin, there would be no Divine Medicine. Of course, this secret was unknown to later generations!

Thinking of those years, Li Qiyi couldn't help but sigh softly. If there was a regret, the greatest regret was that he had lost the memory of the most precious medicinal classic in the world. This memory had been erased and could not be recovered. The reason was simple: he had never seen that medicinal classic again, not even a fragment.

Thinking of this, Li Qiyi couldn't help but shake his head. That old man was truly a madman. After achieving the status of Divine Medicine, as the Crow of Yin, he had reminded him to find a good disciple and pass on his legacy. But the old man went mad, and although he passed down many precious pill recipes and medicinal classics to later generations, he omitted this one that made everyone drool!

Li Qiyi knew that this mad old man must have done it on purpose! He deliberately did not pass down this medicinal classic!

While Li Qiyi was reminiscing about the past, his daze made Elder Sun mistakenly think that Li Qiyi was yearning for the Divine Medicine. He thought Li Qiyi had been moved by his words.

"Would you consider switching to the Way of Medicine? If you are willing to switch to the Way of Medicine, I will pass on all my knowledge to you! In the future, you will surely be the greatest alchemist in the history of our Xianyan Ancient Sect. Climbing to the position of elder or even sect leader will be as easy as turning your hand." Elder Sun couldn't help but urge Li Qiyi, as he saw Li Qiyi's potential!

If it were other disciples, they would be extremely excited to hear that an elder wanted to take them as a disciple, eager to kowtow and become a disciple. But Li Qiyi's reaction was rather indifferent.

Li Qiyi smiled and said, "Thank you for the elder's favor, but the Way of Medicine is just a hobby for me, a way to pass the time."

Li Qiyi's words left Elder Sun speechless, his forehead breaking out in black lines. If it were anyone else, they would think Li Qiyi was boasting. But Elder Sun didn't think that way. What made him crazy was that Li Qiyi was wasting his talent!

Elder Sun was really frustrated. He even wanted to fly into a rage, but he held back. In the end, he was extremely kind and said, "Think it over carefully. If you decide one day, you can come to me anytime."

For Elder Sun's kindness, Li Qiyi only smiled. Seeing Li Qiyi's attitude, Elder Sun could only sigh and leave.

In fact, Elder Sun hadn't given up. A few days later, Law Protector Mo also appeared on the solitary peak. When Law Protector Mo saw Li Qiyi, he spoke hesitantly, wanting to say something but stopping, and in the end, said nothing.

"Is Elder Sun asking you to persuade me to practice the Way of Medicine?" Li Qiyi, seeing Law Protector Mo's hesitation, smiled and said.

Law Protector Mo was a bit embarrassed, laughed dryly, and said, "My master has this intention, but whether to practice or not is up to you. No one would force you."

In fact, Law Protector Mo knew very well that Li Qiyi was a very independent person. He just couldn't refuse his master's request.

"The Way of Medicine is just a hobby. I will think about it when I have time." Li Qiyi smiled and said.

Law Protector Mo had been prepared for such a result, so he didn't try to persuade Li Qiyi and went to respond to his master.

Three months passed quickly. The cultivation of the 300 disciples in the Xishi Valley no longer required much attention from Li Qiyi. Li Qiyi's Dao cultivation had also reached the great completion of the Body Refinement stage in the Essence Body Realm. After reaching this level of great completion, Li Qiyi advanced to the third stage of the Essence Body Realm—Baptism!

The Baptism stage is very important for cultivators, especially for those with innate bodies and imperial bodies. This stage is the first opportunity for all cultivators to refine their bodies! To refine a good body, not only does one need to practice, but more importantly, one needs body ointment!

Of course, for cultivators, in principle, the higher the grade of the body ointment, the better it is for refining the body. However, there are various restrictions during the cultivation process.

For example, for someone with an innate body, choosing an innate body ointment for the first refinement is better. First, it is easier to absorb the essence of the body ointment; second, because it is the first refinement, a body ointment of the same grade is more suitable for one's body.

In fact, in the Xianyan Ancient Sect, at this stage, most disciples had no choice but to use postnatal body ointment for their first refinement.

The reason is simple: everyone had no choice. The Xianyan Ancient Sect had declined, and there were significant financial constraints. Only the direct disciples of the elders might have the chance to use innate body ointment!

Li Qiyi calculated the time and decided it was about time to use body ointment to refine his body, so he went to find the Grand Elder.

In fact, Li Qiyi could have used body ointment to refine his body long ago, but he delayed it to stabilize the yin-yang blood qi in his life wheel.

Seeing the Grand Elder, upon hearing Li Qiyi's intention, the Grand Elder was surprised and said, "You have already reached the Baptism stage of the Essence Body Realm?"

A quick calculation showed that Li Qiyi had joined the Xianyan Ancient Sect and started cultivation for less than a year, yet he had already reached the Baptism stage of the Essence Body Realm.

Such an achievement would be considered a genius in any sect. After all, Li Qiyi had an ordinary body, ordinary wheel, and ordinary life, which was impossible.

So, when the Grand Elder realized this, he looked at Li Qiyi and said, "Are you practicing the Moon Vortex Yang Wheel Technique?"
