People in Doupo: I also picked up a soul body

Chapter 9: Beginners in Alchemy (Please recommend and read later)

After returning, after meditating for half an hour, Xu Haoyu recovered all his fighting spirit, his physical strength was greatly restored, his spirit was also vigorous, the injury on his hand was almost healed, and he felt a tingling sensation. It was his meridians, muscles, tendons and bones that were growing back and becoming stronger.

After lunch, Xu Haoyu did not go to practice fighting skills again. He said something to Xu Tianlong and went back to his room to read.

First, he released his soul perception ability, creating a whirlwind in the air. Then he took out the soul-detecting beads given by Li Fufeng from the ring. After thinking for a while, he threw them into the whirlwind one by one.

According to his own ability to bear, without affecting his reading, he threw in a total of three soul-testing beads.

Frowning and gritting his teeth, Xu Haoyu seemed to be holding up a weight of thousands of pounds to strengthen his soul, and then he could concentrate on reading a book.

He was reading a book on medicinal materials, and only then did he realize that the book contained very detailed records of medicinal materials. Not only did it include illustrations, but the illustrations also included annotations of each part, including roots, stems, leaves, fruits, etc.

How to identify a medicinal herb, what its medicinal properties are, how to judge its age, how to identify its quality, the method of collection, the means of preservation, the temperature for quenching... Li Fufeng also wrote notes in the blank spaces, and all the precautions were very clear.

It is good to have textbooks, which is no less than hands-on teaching. Relying on his extraordinary soul perception, Xu Haoyu has a photographic memory, can draw inferences from one example, and constantly absorbs knowledge of medicinal materials from books.

As for the doubts, he silently wrote them down, intending to ask Li Fufeng for advice next time. He also took a lot of notes for this purpose.

Before he knew it, it was already dark. It was not until his grandfather came to call him for dinner that Xu Haoyu came to his senses and realized how fast time had passed.

During dinner, Xu Haoyu quickly picked up the food. He was a little boy, but he was eating his father out of money. He was in the growing period, so he could eat a lot.

Xu Tianlong smiled and looked at Xu Haoyu eating with a kind face, and suddenly said:
"Haoyu, after a day of fermentation, the news of your promotion to a fighter has spread throughout the family. Not only has your title of the Xu family's number one genius been confirmed, but some people are even saying that you are the number one genius of the Tianxin Empire."

Hearing this, Xu Haoyu raised his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

If he was really only nine years old, he would probably be so proud of himself at this moment, but he was not only nine years old, he knew very well how flashy the title of the number one genius was.

This will only make countless people target him and want to step on him to make themselves famous.

Xu Haoyu's face was very calm, he grinned, and then said:

"Grandpa, I don't like this title. I hope that when people mention me in the future, they will say that I am the strongest, not the first genius. This is just a breakthrough fighter. I will soon break through to the fighter master, great fighter master, and fighter spirit."

Xu Tianlong laughed loudly, looking at Xu Haoyu, feeling more and more delighted, and said:

"Okay, you have ambition, my dear grandson. Come eat your meal. People outside can spread whatever they want, but if it affects you, Grandpa will not let them go."

Xu Haoyu nodded. His character prevented him from being tempted by the title of the No. 1 genius. He lowered his head and continued to eat, quickly filling his stomach, and then said:

"Grandpa, I'm going to practice first."

Returning to the room again, Xu Haoyu sat cross-legged on the couch, collected his mind, and practiced his skills. The low-level Earth-level Guiyi Jue made him absorb and refine energy very quickly.

Xu Haoyu looked inward at his dantian and saw his colorful cyclone expanding slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye. He felt a burst of joy.

While others cultivated one type of Dou Qi, he cultivated seven types of Dou Qi. Now that the seven types of Dou Qi were progressing at the same pace, he could clearly feel that he was getting stronger.

Immersed in cultivation, Xu Haoyu stopped practicing until he was extremely exhausted. He opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air. After a little perception, he said in surprise:
"If this continues, the next breakthrough won't be far away."

It was already late at night. After washing up, Xu Haoyu went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Living such a regular life, training fighting skills in the morning, reading and studying in the afternoon, and practicing fighting spirit in the evening, a month passed quickly.

Li Fufeng’s residence!

Xu Haoyu, who had broken through to become a three-star fighter ten days ago, is now undergoing the test of Li Fufeng.

Every time Li Fufeng asked a question, Xu Haoyu was able to answer it quickly, and his answers were flawless no matter about the appearance, medicinal properties, picking, storage, and refining of the medicinal materials.

As the two asked and answered each other, Li Fufeng became more and more satisfied, and the smile on his face became more and more intense when the last question was answered.

Li Fufeng clapped his hands and laughed, saying:
"Okay, okay, okay, Xiao Haoyu, your mastery of basic medicinal materials has reached an extremely high level. Your memory and learning ability really surprise me."

Xu Haoyu smiled slightly and said modestly in front of Li Fufeng:

"It's all because of the teacher who made detailed records of the medicinal materials in the book that I was able to master them quickly. I can see that those handwritten notes are all the teacher's hard work."

The admiration in Li Fufeng's eyes became more and more obvious. He sighed and said:

"Okay, Xiao Haoyu, with your current proficiency in basic medicinal materials, I can safely teach you the basic alchemy techniques."

At this point, Li Fufeng suddenly became serious, put away his smile, and said in a serious and solemn voice:

"If you want to make an elixir, there are three key points..."

While speaking, Li Fufeng stretched out three fingers and continued:

"Medicinal materials, fire for refining medicine, and soul perception. Xiao Haoyu, your soul perception is different from that of ordinary people. The dual-attribute fighting spirit of fire and wood can also form fire for refining medicine. The lack of mastery of medicinal materials has now been made up, and you can start learning to refine medicine."

"Before that, I will teach you two more things. If you want to refine pills, you must first have a pill formula. Just like the grades of alchemists, pill formulas are also divided into grades one to nine. For alchemists, pill formulas are like martial arts and fighting skills. The value of a top-level pill formula is not inferior to that of a heavenly martial arts and fighting skills. Now you understand how precious a pill formula is."

"Secondly, you need a medicine cauldron. A good medicine cauldron can improve the alchemist's control over the temperature. The higher the level of the elixir, the greater the energy it contains. An ordinary medicine cauldron cannot hold it down. Only an excellent medicine cauldron can prevent the furnace from exploding and the precious medicinal materials from being destroyed."

"Haha, that's a little too pale. Xiao Haoyu, come with me to the alchemy room. I'll show you a practical experience today."

Xu Haoyu was invigorated and immediately responded:

"Yes!"
