Apprenticeship, yes, facing Yao Chen, I kowtowed and accepted.
Facing Yu Xiaogang, I’d slap him back!
Hehehe.
Listening to Lin Xiao’s cackling laughter, Yao Chen always had a bad premonition.
Could this little fellow be a reincarnation from the Hall of Souls?
But soon, Yao Chen dismissed this thought.
If he were from the Hall of Souls, why wouldn’t he cultivate?
“Little fellow, next time don’t make that cackling laugh.
It always gives me the feeling that you’re about to strike at me.”
Yao Chen stroked his beard and spoke solemnly.
Pfft!
Lin Xiao quickly nodded.
Indeed, that was the signature laugh of the Hall of Souls, and the Hall of Souls was the main villain of battle through the heavens, extremely covetous of Yao Chen’s soul body.
Now, it would be strange if Yao Chen didn’t dislike hearing that sound.
“Okay, Teacher.”
“Teacher, can I become an Alchemist?”
Lin Xiao looked at Yao Chen and asked softly.
In Lin Xiao’s memory, becoming an Alchemist wasn’t that easy.
It seemed to require a soul with fire attribute and a trace of wood attribute, and most importantly, powerful soul perception.
Now, Lin Xiao possessed a Flame Spirit, which counted as having the fire attribute.
As for whether it contained a trace of wood attribute or how strong his soul perception was, Lin Xiao wasn’t sure.
However, it seemed that even without the wood attribute, it wasn’t impossible to become an Alchemist, just more difficult.
Generally, if one only possessed the fire attribute, becoming an Alchemist was not recommended due to the high cost.
“Yes!”
“Alchemists were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in my World.”
“The conditions for becoming an Alchemist are too stringent, and you, Lin Xiao, happen to meet them.”
“A soul body usually only possesses one attribute, and only under extremely rare mutation will a soul body exhibit two attributes, one strong and one weak.”
“When you were born, I sensed that your soul body possessed these two attributes: strong fire and weak wood.”
“And these two attributes are one of the conditions for becoming an Alchemist.”
Listening to Yao Chen’s words, Lin Xiao’s heart trembled slightly.
He knew he had the fire attribute, but how did that extra wood attribute mutate?
He probably thought it was due to his reincarnation.
Soon, Lin Xiao stopped dwelling on it.
After all, it was good for him.
That was enough.
“However, Lin Xiao, becoming an Alchemist also requires powerful soul perception, and your soul perception isn’t that strong.”
“In your future cultivation, you must pay attention to soul cultivation.”
Yao Chen continued, but Lin Xiao didn’t mind.
This could be compensated for later.
If he had transmigrated with his soul, his soul perception would probably be stronger, right?
But he was more like a reincarnation and hadn’t devoured and merged with the other party’s soul.
However, his soul perception was probably stronger than that of ordinary people, even if it didn’t meet Yao Chen’s requirements.
Being able to become an Alchemist was enough.
The alchemy system of battle through the heavens was not comparable to Douluo.
A pill like the mystic water pill, if placed in battle through the heavens, might not even be a first-grade pill.
Even if it was first-grade, it probably wasn’t top-tier.
With Yao Chen teaching alchemy, his cultivation speed would surely soar.
Yao Chen, truly lives up to his name.
Such a teacher was well worth having.
Even in his previous life, Lin Xiao had hoped for a teacher like Yao Chen.
One could say that everyone would want someone like Yao Chen.
A good teacher can sometimes determine a person’s entire life.
And Yao Chen was just such a person.
May there be no suffering in the World, rather let the medicine on the shelves gather dust!
Yao Chen, Yao Chen!
Truly lives up to his name!
“Thank you, Teacher, for clarifying.
Teacher, given my current situation, should I start with soul cultivation first?”
spirit power?
Lin Xiao now only wanted to cultivate Dou Qi.
The standard of Dou Qi was much higher than spirit power, not just by a little bit.
Yao Chen nodded, then shook his head.
He said, “In these past 40 years, I have also observed the cultivation methods of this World: spirit power, Martial Soul.”
“Compared to the cultivation methods in my World, it’s like comparing a child to an adult.”
“The Dou Techniques and cultivation methods in my World are diverse, categorized into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Ranks.”
“And Lin Xiao, if you want to become an Alchemist, the best choice is to cultivate a fire-attribute cultivation method.”
“Soul cultivation is naturally indispensable, but it can be auxiliary cultivation.”
Lin Xiao understood.
For an Alchemist, fire was naturally the most important, so it made sense for Yao Chen to have him focus on cultivating fire-attribute cultivation methods.
“Ahem, Teacher, I suppose Heaven Rank cultivation methods are the strongest, right?”
Yao Chen nodded, “Naturally the strongest.
Even I don’t have one right now.”
Lin Xiao paused, still thinking about asking for a Heaven Rank Dou Skill, about asking for the Burning Technique.
No, no, he seemed to have fallen into a misconception.
The Burning Technique wasn’t a Heaven Rank cultivation method at first.
It was later upgraded step by step by devouring strange flames; it was a cultivation method that could grow.
Seeing Lin Xiao’s stunned expression, Yao Chen smiled and said, “I don’t have a Heaven Rank cultivation method right now, but I do have a rather miraculous cultivation method here.”
“This cultivation method is called the Burning Technique, and I obtained it from a secret realm.”
When the Burning Technique was mentioned, Yao Chen’s expression visibly changed, though subtly, Lin Xiao still noticed it.
The Burning Technique, Yao Chen became like this also because of the Burning Technique.
However, if not for the Burning Technique, Yao Chen wouldn’t have had his disciple Xiao Yan later, and there wouldn’t have been the Endless Fire Territory, would there?
It truly echoed the saying: Fortune is hidden in disaster, and disaster is reliant on fortune!
Yao Chen’s voice continued, “It’s just that this cultivation method is a Yellow Rank Low-Grade one, Lin Xiao, do you want to learn it?”
Lin Xiao’s eyes lit up, “Learn it, I’ll learn it!!”
Only a fool wouldn’t learn it.
Yellow Rank Low-Grade?
This is probably an Emperor Rank Imperial Grade cultivation method, isn’t it?
Which Yellow Rank Low-Grade could produce a Dou Emperor?
“What?
You don’t want a Heaven Rank cultivation method anymore?” Yao Chen teased, smiling as he looked at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao gave an awkward laugh, “Teacher, you said this cultivation method is miraculous, so it shouldn’t be weak, right?”
“Hahaha, indeed.
The most miraculous thing about this cultivation method is that it can evolve.”
“As for how far it can evolve, I don’t know.
I never cultivated it after I obtained it.”
“I’m also not clear about the subsequent stages of this cultivation method.
Do you…
still want to cultivate it?”
Yao Chen clearly explained both the drawbacks and the miraculous aspects of this cultivation method to Lin Xiao.
As for the choice, it was up to him.
Lin Xiao didn’t hesitate at all, nodding directly in agreement, “Teacher, I’ll learn it!”
Hesitating for even one more second would be disrespecting the Burning Technique, alright?
“Just as you said, Teacher, even a Yellow Rank Low-Grade cultivation method would probably be top-tier in this World, wouldn’t it?”
“Since that’s the case, why wouldn’t I learn it?”
Lin Xiao slowly explained.
