Chapter 981: Chapter 980: Jimmie Campbell’s Orbit [Seeking Monthly Pass]

Rafael Case was useless, but that didn’t mean Yusuf Zuck was too. Surely not all useless people in the world gathered together? Therefore, Yusuf Zuck authoritatively demanded that Rafael Case teach him alchemy. Even if he didn’t teach him the method of alchemy, explaining the theory would suffice.

He possessed three Strange Fires and the Book of Life, so mastering alchemy was definitely within his reach.

However, Rafael Case did not start by teaching him alchemy. Instead, he brought him three books.

"This is the Pill Scripture. Memorize the entire book thoroughly. When questioned, you must be able to recite any Chapter, any paragraph immediately!"

"This is the General Formula, which contains three hundred and sixty formulas. You must memorize every single one."

"This is the Herbal Scripture, It contains illustrations and properties of herbs. Memorize them all!"

"After you have memorized these three books, especially the Pill Scripture, I will teach you the specific steps of alchemy. Of course, the Pill Scripture also contains records, and you must understand their meaning!"

"Right, here is the Jimmie Heart Sutra, the most authentic cultivation method of the Jimmie Campbell Sect. You must also memorize it entirely, then practice the Grand Jimmie Circulatory method. Your cultivation level must reach at least Spirit Immortal Rank Three before you can practice alchemy."

"Get lost. Don’t bother me these next few days!" Yusuf Zuck really didn’t want to talk more with this timid old man. Talking to him always made him want to kill someone.

"Fine, I’m going, I’m going." Rafael Case nodded and bowed as he backed out.

Yusuf Zuck gathered his mind, sat cross-legged, and meditated for a while before picking up the Pill Scripture and began flipping through it, one section at a time.

At first, he did not read quickly, but after about fifteen minutes, he began to turn the pages rapidly, scanning one page with a single look.

Indeed, more remarkable than skimming ten lines at a glance, it was one page at a glance, with incredible speed.

If there were geniuses in this world, then Yusuf Zuck was now an unparalleled genius. He had activated twenty-five Blood Beads, which was equivalent to brain development, and the Blood Beads had transformed him. Over the years he had practiced and had various serendipitous experiences. Moreover, considering his superhuman telekinesis, reaching 7.2 billion miles, he was no longer a normal human.

Memorizing a page at a glance was not difficult for him, and he did it with ease.

In half an hour, he had read through the entire Pill Scripture and had even reviewed it a second and third time.

After the third reading, he completely remembered it, and he also began to recall and analyze every sentence of the Pill Scripture.

The so-called Pill Scripture was the art of alchemy, a common alchemy textbook, not a secret technique. It discussed alchemy skills and methods, control of various flame conditions, formation times of elixirs, times for the elixirs to come out of the furnace, melting times of the ingredients, and much more. All were recorded in the Pill Scripture.

Of course, while the Pill Scripture seemed simple, the actual operation was extremely complex and even required coordinating gestures and verbal formulas during the process.

Alchemy was truly not something everyone could do. One needed the right talent.

Yusuf spent three hours grasping the various methods and steps described in the Pill Scripture. After those three hours, he picked up the Herbal Scripture.

The Herbal Scripture did not involve understanding; it just needed to be memorized rigidly. It contained thousands of herbs with various properties. To remember the functions of these herbs, and what conflicts might arise with certain combinations, were all recorded in it.

Of course, the Herbal Scripture only listed a thousand herbs, while the world’s herbs accounted for many thousands more. However, these thousand were the ones most commonly used.

In four hours, Yusuf had memorized everything, then he threw both the book and the Pill Scripture into the Jade Sea and Cloud Sky, leaving them for Ruth Wilcox and the others to study, as they were idle there anyway.

The third book contained three hundred and sixty Spirit Pill formulas, each Spirit Pill having its own formula. The formulas detailed which herbs were needed, how much of each, and the effects of each Spirit Pill, among other details.

These three hundred and sixty Spirit Pill formulas were also General Formulae commonly used in the market. For example, there was a Spirit-Gathering Pill, which was divided into nine grades, each corresponding to a rank of the Spirit Immortal.

However, it isn’t to say that by consuming a certain grade of pill you would attain a similar grade. It depends on your body’s absorption of the pill’s effectiveness, and factors like your fate or enlightenment.

No elixir refined by any Pill Master can guarantee any specific outcomes because everyone’s physique is different. What works for someone else might not necessarily work for you!

Yusuf Zuck remembered the three hundred and sixty formulas much longer, utilizing six hours because the formulae were complicated, and some even required hundreds of herbs.

Before dawn, Yusuf Zuck picked up the Jimmie Heart Sutra again.

Essentially, the Jimmie Heart Sutra is a method of practicing Qigong. After cultivating this sutra, the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky would manifest. As you continue to practice, the Immortal Spirit Qi would gradually accumulate, thereby continually advancing in ranks, and you would become a true disciple of the Campbell Sect.

After reading it once, Yusuf Zuck followed the Grand Circulation method described in the sutra, experiencing a smooth and natural circulation cycle!

"Oh? Useful!" After a complete circulation, Yusuf Zuck distinctly felt the Immortal Spirit Qi, flowing through his pores and into his Dantian through his meridians, forming a trace of Nascent Soul Qi.

Although his Dantian had a Nascent Soul now, there wasn’t a trace of Nascent Soul Qi or force. Yet, with the completion of one Grand Circulation cycle, its effect was immediate!

"Very good, I’ll cultivate this Jimmie Grand Circulation technique from now on!" Yusuf Zuck didn’t continue practicing it though, as he planned to seek Rafael Case’s help to learn alchemy. By observing once, he could handle any alchemy himself in the future, which would then clear all the assessments here.

"Creak—" As he opened the door, Rafael Case was in the yard, practicing punches slowly, much like cultivating Tai Chi for health maintenance.

Rafael Case looked up at Yusuf Zuck, suddenly ended his practice and lightly exclaimed.

"You’ve reached Spirit Immortal Rank Two? How so quickly?" Rafael Case was surprised.

"What? Spirit Immortal Rank Two?" Yusuf Zuck was also stunned. How had he become a Spirit Immortal Rank Two?

"You have a trace of Nascent Soul force now. This is a sign of successfully opening your spiritual aperture and officially entering the ranks of cultivators. You can operate the Jimmie Grand Circulation now?"

"Oh yes, I just did one cycle and accumulated a trace of Nascent Soul force!"

"Awesome, a genius!" Rafael Case raised a finger, "In just one night, you were able to comprehend the Jimmie Heart Sutra and successfully operate the Jimmie Grand Circulation. What a promising talent!"

"Nonsense, take me to the Pill Room, I want to see you performing alchemy; ready yourself because right after that, I want to apply for apprenticeship. Time waits for no one."

"You... so soon? Have you memorized the three books I gave you?" Rafael Case asked curiously.

"Quit the nonsense, to the Pill Room." Yusuf Zuck glared at him.

"You’re practically my disciple now, so this manner of speaking isn’t acceptable. If others see or detect us with Divine Sense, both of us are done for, so be cautious," Rafael Case nervously admonished him.

"Alright, Master, will you take me to the Pill Room, please? And what was the punch you were practicing just now?" Yusuf Zuck bowed slightly.

"Jimmie Boxing. When practicing this boxing technique along with the Grand Circulation technique, the circulation cycles faster and the cultivation speed increases. I practice this boxing method every morning!"

"So after so many years, how are you still just a First Grade Golden Immortal?" Yusuf Zuck couldn’t help but laugh.

"I..." Rafael Case’s face turned red, nearly choking.
