Chapter 1088: Chapter 1085: Alchemist_1
Countless insights about medicinal herbs and Xu Ran's understanding of alchemy were all infused into Xiao Yi Xian's mind.
However, Xu Ran sealed away the majority of the knowledge.
Otherwise, with Xiao Yi Xian's current Soul Power, she would have certainly collapsed instantly upon receiving so much information. When her Soul Power reaches the necessary level, those sealed things would unseal themselves.
Those things were Xu Ran's perceptions of medicinal herbs and elixirs, not merely a simple prescription. Thus, Xiao Yi Xian only needed to assimilate the content and remember it well. Moreover, these things were stored deep within Xiao Yi Xian's mind, impossible to forget even if she wanted to. Even if she did forget, she could always review them.
Furthermore, Xu Ran's understanding of those medicinal herbs was extremely precious, even for top-tier alchemists.
Alchemy is all about blending various herbs with distinct properties. With a thorough understanding of these properties, Xiao Yi Xian could even conduct her own research on elixirs. On the Continent, nearly all alchemists followed ancient prescriptions passed down through generations, and most people lacked the detailed understanding of medicinal herbs necessary to create their own elixirs.
"This is..."
Xiao Yi Xian's mouth gaped slightly open.
At that moment, she felt the world spinning, as countless things rose rapidly in her mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
And the knowledge about elixirs also left her somewhat dazed.
Suddenly, she felt as if she were a seasoned expert who had been producing elixirs for many years. Especially those experiences in alchemy, which shocked her to no end.
She had never known that such miraculous secret techniques existed in this world, capable of directly transferring one's lifetime of learning into another's mind.
In that case, wouldn't one be able to obtain powerful alchemy skills without much learning?
At the very least, it reduced a lot of the learning costs and, at most, required a bit of familiarization.
It also ensured that one would not misunderstand and would start on the right path directly.
This was truly terrifying, and she was so shocked that she was rendered speechless.
In her mind, there were even prescriptions and detailed processes for producing Fourth-Order Elixirs, including the control of the fire, and the precise timing for adding ingredients... And she could guess that there were many more powerful things, it was just that she was too weak at the moment to know any better.
What surprised her even more, were the medicinal herbs she had never heard of before.
Although she was not an alchemist, as a physician, her insight into medicinal herbs was notable. But compared with Xu Ran, she was truly a junior in the presence of a master; many of the herbs she had never even heard of, and for those she knew, Xu Ran's insights were far superior to her own.
How could one person possess knowledge of so many things?
Now, Xiao Yi Xian was stunned by Xu Ran's scholarship.
"Xu Ran, you, you..." Xiao Yi Xian opened her eyes, stammering as she looked at Xu Ran. She had never anticipated such an amazing surprise from him.
This gift was simply priceless.
If word got out that such miraculous elixir inheritance existed, perhaps the entire Continent would go mad.
Ordinary alchemists struggled so much to learn alchemy, which required talent, and their own understanding could not deviate from the path. That's why there were so few powerful alchemists on the Continent.
The higher the order of the alchemist, the rarer they were.
Yet she had received such a precious treasure. As long as she kept those things in mind, she would have gained the entire heritage of an extremely strong alchemist.
Furthermore.
Those elixir recipes were already priceless! How many recipes did she have in her own mind? Even the ones she knew now were no fewer than several hundred.
"Xu Ran, what you've given me is too precious. I..." Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xu Ran, her eyes dimming with emotion beyond her excitement. She felt unworthy of the things Xu Ran had given her.
His kindness towards her instead brought her immense pressure.
"If you really feel indebted to me, you could also give me a little compensation, I certainly wouldn't mind," Xu Ran said with a chuckle, admiring the exquisite beauty of Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian had been a medicinal alchemist for so many years, and becoming an Alchemist had always been her wish. Xu Ran also felt that, given Xiao Yi Xian's calm and detached nature, becoming an alchemist would suit her well.
Master of both medicinal and toxic arts, capable of killing and saving lives, hmm, this setup isn't bad.
"What kind of ulterior motive are you harboring now?" Xiao Yi Xian said, playfully spitting the words out.
Seeing Xu Ran's undisguised gaze, she knew exactly what he wanted to do. But Xu Ran had been so good to her, what else could she offer in return? And last night, aside from that, what hadn't Xu Ran done?
Having been held by Xu Ran during the night, her original unfamiliarity and strangeness towards him had completely vanished.
"Forget it. I'll bully you when you become an alchemist. We had an agreement from the beginning, if I helped you become an alchemist, you would grant me a request," Xu Ran said seriously, chin in hand.
Anyway, no matter what, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't escape the palm of his hand. So he might as well give Xiao Yi Xian some time.
"Even if you're foolish, you should be able to make it now."
"In a month's time, becoming a Third Tier Alchemist is also possible," Xu Ran mused, pinching his chin. Now, Xiao Yi Xian had essentially received his legacy. And just now, that elixir had significantly enhanced Xiao Yi Xian's Soul Power.
Now, all Xiao Yi Xian needed to overcome was getting accustomed to the practice.
"You're the stupid one!"
Xiao Yi Xian retorted coyly.
Just thinking about becoming a respected alchemist filled her with joy.
She had acquired so much knowledge of alchemy that she couldn't wait to try concocting elixirs.
"Here. I've prepared this for you. The medicinal ingredients we collected in the cave yesterday can be used for alchemy," Xu Ran said, placing an Alchemy Cauldron on the ground.
Xiao Yi Xian felt incredibly moved, not expecting Xu Ran to have thought everything through so thoroughly for her. Which woman wouldn't like a man who was so considerate?
"My fire…" With a thought from Xiao Yi Xian, a golden Flame appeared in her hand, vibrant with an abundance of power even to someone like her with not much strength.
"This is the Qilin Flame, it shouldn't be inferior to most Strange Fires," Xu Ran explained to Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian nodded, somewhat baffled. She didn't understand what a Strange Fire was, but knowing her fire was strong was enough for her.
Xiao Yi Xian quickly prepared the medicinal ingredients, ready to concoct a First-grade Elixir.
With her past experience as a medicinal alchemist, her proficiency in handling the ingredients surpassed Xu Ran's expectations.
Then it was all about controlling the flame.
Xu Ran stood by, guarding, and Xiao Yi Xian swiftly concocted a cauldron of elixirs.
With the experience taught by Xu Ran, and her foundation as a medicinal alchemist, Xiao Yi Xian successfully concocted the finished elixirs.
