Chapter 1473: Chapter 1493: Purple Cloud Immortal Lord?_1

"I’ve studied the ’Basic Theory of Dan Dao’, ’Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials’, ’Eight Methods of Pill Refinement’..."

Lin Chen explained everything in detail and then added after thinking for a bit, "Oh, also the ’Da Luo Pill Sutra’..."

Ouyang Jing looked at Lin Chen in surprise, "You’ve studied the Da Luo Pill Sutra?"

Lin Chen replied, "Only half of it, presumably its first half, it records the techniques of pill refinement and the methods of making several kinds of medicinal pills..."

Ouyang Jing confirmed, "Yes, that is the first half. The rest are pill prescriptions. You’ve mastered all that’s in the first half?"

Lin Chen nodded, "It’s not like I’m an expert, but I do know them."

Ouyang Jing looked slightly surprised before laughing, "I originally thought you might be a novice in Alchemy Path, yet your Basic Foundation Skills are very solid. Tell me about the medicinal pills you know how to refine."

Lin Chen seriously answered as Ouyang Jing rose from his seat, "Now, refine a Seven Emotions Pill for me, let’s see your technique."

Lin Chen inquired, "I don’t have any medicinal herbs."

"I have plenty here."

Ouyang Jing pointed at the golden Pill Furnace in the middle of the room, "You should refine using that. Have my handmaids prepare the herbs for you. The one on the left is Ru Shuang and the one on the right is Ru Xue. They are my handmaids and also my refining assistants."

"Alright."

The two handmaids quickly prepared the herbs for the Seven Emotions Pill for Lin Chen, who then began refining under Ouyang Jing’s watchful eyes.

Lin Chen, unaffected by fear, then refined without too many unexpected failures.

Although he was mentally prepared, Lin Chen felt a bit awkward. He had learned the pill prescription for the Seven Emotions Pill, but hadn’t truly refined it before, given the medicine’s obscure utility and rarity among general people.

Ouyang Jing’s expression was calm, he even smiled a bit, "Your Basic Foundation Skills are alright... I clearly understand your approximate skills now. You have great talent in pill refinement for being able to reach this level without spending too much energy."

Lin Chen clasped his hands, "I kindly ask for your guidance."

Ouyang Jing waved off his gratitude, "The matter of pill refining is nothing more than observation, practice, and summary. There is no shortcut. I will teach you various techniques and pill refining skills. However, genuine understanding and familiarity are up to you."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen started living in the valley, and that stay lasted for five years.

Throughout these five years, Lin Chen didn’t know how many times he refined medicinal pills, but his pill refining abilities improved continuously.

Lin Chen focused on learning pill refining so much that he even gave up cultivation. His extreme focus led to extreme improvement. Although he was still behind Pill King Ouyang Jing, he was already able to refine most of the common medicinal pills in the Immortal Domain.

"Lin Chen, there isn’t much left for me to teach," Ouyang Jing stated. "Further improvement can only come from your continuous research and practice."

Lin Chen bowed, "Thank you, Senior."

Ouyang Jing waved it off casually, "The Primitive Alchemy Scripture I’ve taught you is part of our deal, you deserve it. Now that my pill refining technique has improved and progressed, I seemed to have earned more from this deal."

Lin Chen laughed, "Disturbing Senior for five years and ruining numerous expensive herbs of yours, I finally made some achievements. I will never forget your guidance."

Ouyang Jing laughed, "Those are trivial things. Actually, I’ve always had one question, out of curiosity..."

Lin Chen responded, "Please ask, Senior."

Ouyang Jing stared at him, "Who is your Master...?"

Lin Chen answered directly, "White Crane Immortal Sect, Heavenly Sword Su Shaoling."

"Ah, him!"

Ouyang Jing finally realized, laughing, "That explains it."

Lin Chen hesitated, then said, "Senior, actually, I’ve also been wondering about something..."

Ouyang Jing laughed, "Sure, we will disclose everything to each other today. Ask."

Lin Chen asked, "Senior, Zi Yun Fairy... what is her origin?"

Ouyang Jing looked surprised, "You don’t know?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I’ve been with her for a long time, but she never told me. She just said her name was Zi Yun Fairy..."

Ouyang Jing nodded, then surprisingly shook his head, "I don’t know either."

Lin Chen was stunned, "Didn’t she say she had met you before? Old friend?"

Ouyang Jing answered, "I’ve indeed met her, but when I met her, she wasn’t called Zi Yun Fairy, but Zi Yun Immortal Monarch. She looked much younger than then..."

Zi Yun Immortal Monarch had become Zi Yun Fairy, and she was even younger-looking than before?

Ouyang Jing thought for a few seconds, "Even though Zi Yun Immortal Monarch didn’t show up often, she was powerful and ruthless, and quite famous. She never mentioned her past, but many people speculated that she might come from Greencloud Valley..."

Greencloud Valley?

The mysterious place where only a few venture into society, yet those who do are always powerhouses?

Ouyang Jing laughed, "Of course, this is all speculation. I dare not guarantee its validity."

Lin Chen nodded, smiling, "Even if it’s just a speculation, it’s better than nothing..."
