I bowed and kowtowed to Master Yao.
When I’m faced with a prison squirrel, I just slap him with my bare hands!
Hehehe.
Looking at Lin Xiao’s cackling laughter, Yao Lao had a bad feeling.
Was this little guy not a reincarnation of someone from the Soul Palace?
But soon, Yao Lao dismissed the idea.
If they were from the Soul Palace, why wouldn’t they be cultivating?
“Little guy, don’t make that weird ‘hehehe’ laugh next time.
It always gives me the feeling that you’re going to do something to me.”
The old apothecary stroked his beard and began to speak in a serious tone.
puff!
Lin Xiao nodded quickly.
Indeed, that was the signature laugh of the Soul Hall.
The Soul Hall was also the main villain in Battle Through the Heavens, and they were extremely greedy for Yao Lao’s soul.
Now that the old doctor hears this voice, it’s no wonder he’s disgusted.
“Okay, teacher.”
“Teacher, can I become an alchemist?”
Lin Xiao looked at the old doctor and asked softly.
In Lin Xiao’s memory, becoming an alchemist was not an easy task.
It seems that the soul needs to possess fire and a trace of wood attributes, and most importantly, it also needs strong soul perception.
Now, Lin Xiao possesses a Flame Martial Soul, which means he has the fire attribute.
As for whether there was even a trace of wood element involved, and how strong his soul perception was, Lin Xiao had no idea.
However, it seems that not having the wood attribute doesn’t preclude one from becoming an alchemist; it just makes it more difficult.
Generally speaking, it’s not recommended to become an alchemist if you only possess fire attributes, as the cost is too high.
“able!”
“Alchemists are extremely rare in my world.”
“The requirements to become an alchemist are too strict, and you, Lin Xiao, meet them perfectly.”
“A soul body will generally only have one attribute, but in extremely rare mutations, a soul body will have two attributes, one strong and one weak.”
“When you were born, I sensed that your soul possessed the two attributes of strong fire and weak wood.”
“And these two attributes are one of the conditions for becoming an alchemist.”
Hearing Yao Lao’s words, Lin Xiao’s heart trembled slightly.
He knew that he possessed the fire attribute, but how did the extra wood attribute mutate?
It must be because of reincarnation.
Soon, Lin Xiao stopped worrying about it; after all, it was for his own good.
That’s enough.
“However, Lin Xiao, to become an alchemist, you also need a strong soul perception.
Your soul perception is not that strong.”
“In your future cultivation, you must pay attention to the cultivation of your soul.”
The old doctor continued, but Lin Xiao didn’t care.
This could be made up for later.
If he had transmigrated, his soul perception would probably be stronger.
However, since he was essentially reincarnated, he did not devour or merge with the other’s soul.
However, it seems that his soul perception is stronger than that of ordinary people, even if it does not meet the requirements of the old doctor.
Being able to become an alchemist is enough.
The alchemy system in Doupo is incomparable to that in Douluo Continent.
A pill like the Xuan Shui Dan might not even be considered a first-grade pill in Doupo.
Even if it’s of the first rank, it probably isn’t the top-tier kind.
With the old alchemist teaching him alchemy, his cultivation speed must be incredibly fast.
Master Yao, you truly live up to your name.
It was so worthwhile to study under such a teacher.
Even in his previous life, Lin Xiao had longed to have a teacher like Master Yao.
You could say that everyone would want someone like Master Yao.
A good teacher can sometimes determine a person’s life.
And Yao Lao was just that kind of person.
I wish there were no more illnesses and suffering in the world, rather than let the medicine on the shelves gather dust!
Old Medicine, Medicine Dust!
It truly lives up to its name!
“Thank you for your guidance, teacher.
Given my current situation, should I start with soul cultivation?”
Soul power?
Lin Xiao only wants to cultivate battle qi now, which is much higher than soul power.
The old doctor nodded, then shook his head.
He began, “Over the past 40 years, I have also observed the cultivation methods of this world, including soul power and martial soul.”
“Compared to the cultivation techniques in my world, it’s like comparing a child to an adult.”
“The fighting techniques and cultivation methods in my world are diverse, including the four levels of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow cultivation methods.”
“As for Lin Xiao, if you want to become an alchemist, the best choice is to cultivate a fire-attribute technique.”
“Soul cultivation is naturally essential, but it can be used as an aid to cultivation.”
Lin Xiao understood.
For an alchemist, the most important element is naturally fire, so it was reasonable for the old alchemist to urge him to focus on cultivating fire-attribute techniques.
“Ahem, teacher, surely the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique is the strongest, right?”
The old doctor nodded: “Naturally, it is the strongest; even I don’t have it now.”
Lin Xiao paused, still thinking of asking for a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, specifically the Burning Technique.
No, no, I seem to have fallen into a misconception.
The Burning Technique didn’t seem to be a Heaven-Rank technique from the beginning.
It was a cultivation technique that gradually improved by absorbing the strange fire.
Seeing Lin Xiao’s stunned expression, Yao Lao smiled and said, “I don’t have any Heaven-rank cultivation techniques right now, but I have a rather magical one here.”
“This technique is called the Burning Technique, which I obtained from a secret realm.”
When the Burning Technique was mentioned, Yao Lao’s expression changed visibly, though it was very subtle, Lin Xiao still noticed it.
The Burning Technique—the reason why Elder Yao is in this state is also because of the Burning Technique.
However, without the Burning Technique, Yao Lao wouldn’t have had a disciple like Xiao Yan, and there wouldn’t have been the Endless Fire Domain.
This perfectly illustrates the saying: “Good fortune may be the harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be the harbinger of good fortune.”
The old man’s voice continued: “However, this technique is only at the low level of the Yellow rank.
Lin Xiao, do you want to learn it?”
Lin Xiao’s eyes lit up: “I’ll learn!
I’ll learn!!”
It would be foolish not to learn.
Low-level Yellow Rank?
This is probably not a royal-level or emperor-level cultivation technique.
Who could possibly produce a Dou Di from a low-level Yellow rank family?
“What?
You don’t want the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique anymore?” Elder Yao joked, smiling as he looked at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly: “Teacher, you said this technique is amazing, so it can’t be weak, right?”
“Haha, that’s true.
The most amazing thing about this technique is that it can evolve.”
“As for how far it can evolve, I don’t know.
I haven’t practiced it since I obtained it.”
“I don’t know what happens next with this technique either.
Do you…
still want to practice it?”
The old doctor explained the drawbacks and wonders of this technique to Lin Xiao.
As for how to choose, that was up to him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao nodded in agreement: “Teacher, I’ll learn!”
Hesitating for even a second longer would be disrespectful to the Burning Technique.
“Just like you said, teacher, even a low-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique would probably be one of the top-tier techniques in this world, right?”
“If that’s the case, why shouldn’t I learn it?”
Lin Xiao slowly explained.
