Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 247 246: Don’t order!
Ling Xiao felt dizzy and countless images flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

When his consciousness gradually returned to clear, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment. There was a faint medicinal fragrance all around, and the ancient architectural style revealed a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

He tried hard to recall what had happened before. He was just an ordinary office worker, living a routine life from nine to five every day in this fast-paced modern society.

Working overtime and staying up late is a common occurrence for him. In order to complete projects, he is often exhausted. However, just last night, on his way home from overtime, he was accidentally hit by a speeding car and lost consciousness.

Could it be that I have traveled through time?
This thought flashed through his mind, and he himself felt a little absurd.

Just as Ling Xiao was feeling confused, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "The proficiency system has been bound. The host can improve the proficiency of various skills through continuous practice, alchemy, and other behaviors, thereby enhancing his own strength."

Hearing this voice, Ling Xiao's heart was shocked. Could it be that he really traveled to another world and obtained a golden finger as written in the novel?
He tried to calm his excitement and began to carefully feel this so-called system.

He tried to ask the system some questions in his mind, such as how to check proficiency, how to improve proficiency, etc., but the system just answered his questions according to a fixed procedure without much interaction.

However, Ling Xiao was already very satisfied. He knew that this might be his chance to rise in this world.

At this time, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man in a green robe walked in.

He saw Ling Xiao wake up, and a trace of concern appeared on his face: "Ling Xiao, you're finally awake. How could you suddenly faint in your room during your retreat? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ling Xiao looked at the strange yet somewhat friendly man in front of him. From his words, Ling Xiao guessed that he should be his master in this world.

Ling Xiao struggled to sit up and said respectfully, "Master, I'm fine. I just got distracted during practice earlier and I'm sorry to have worried you."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "If that's the case, then you should have a good rest. Come with me to the sect's Alchemy Pavilion tomorrow. With your current level of cultivation, you should learn some alchemy techniques."

After saying that, he turned and left the room. Ling Xiao lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

I traveled to an alchemy sect and became its disciple. Now I have awakened the proficiency system. This may be my new starting point in this world.

He began to recall the fantasy novels he had read before, trying to find some clues on how to survive and develop in this world.

He knew he was a brand new being in this world, without any background or support. He knew that only by practicing diligently and improving his strength could he survive in this world of the survival of the fittest. And this proficiency system was perhaps his greatest advantage.

He can quickly improve his strength and surpass others through continuous practice and alchemy.

Ling Xiao began to carefully feel the condition inside his body. He found that his body seemed different from before. There was a warm current flowing slowly in his body. This should be the spiritual power of this world.

He tried to circulate this spiritual power and began to practice simple cultivation according to the cultivation method he had seen in the novel before.

As the spiritual power circulated in his body, Ling Xiao felt that his mental state gradually improved and his body became much more relaxed.

He was secretly delighted, knowing that he had successfully taken the first step in his cultivation in this world. The next morning, Ling Xiao followed his master to the Dan Pavilion.

Dan Pavilion is located in the back mountain of the sect, surrounded by dense woods and the environment is very quiet.

The architectural style of Dan Pavilion is simple and elegant, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The door to the Dan Pavilion was tightly shut. The master stepped forward and gently pushed it open. A strong medicinal aroma filled the air, and Ling Xiao felt refreshed, as if he were transported to a world of fragrant herbs.

The interior of the Dan Pavilion was spacious, filled with a wide variety of medicinal materials and alchemy instruments. The dazzling array of items made Ling Xiao dazzled.

The master brought Ling Xiao to an old man and said respectfully, "Ling Xiao, this is Elder Mo, the elder of the Dan Pavilion. From today on, you will follow Elder Mo to learn the art of alchemy."

Elder Mo looked at Ling Xiao and nodded slightly, saying, "In that case, you should start by learning the most basic alchemy theory."

In the following days, Ling Xiao immersed himself in the study of alchemy every day.

Elder Mo first explained to him the characteristics, effects and mutual compatibility of various medicinal materials.

With his photographic memory, Ling Xiao quickly mastered a wealth of alchemy theory. He still remembered what Elder Mo had said: "In alchemy, materials are the foundation, the heat is the key, and the mind is the fundamental. Only by perfectly combining these three can one refine high-quality elixirs."

This sentence was deeply imprinted in Ling Xiao's mind and became the principle for his future alchemy. After mastering the theoretical knowledge, Ling Xiao began to try to refine some low-level pills.

The first time he refined the elixir, he carefully placed the various materials into the furnace in order, then circulated the spiritual power in his body to control the temperature of the furnace.

However, when he opened the furnace with great anticipation, he discovered that all the elixirs inside had turned to ashes. Ling Xiao felt somewhat frustrated, but he did not give up.

The system's voice rang in his mind: "Alchemy failed, proficiency +1."

Ling Xiao was delighted. It turned out that even failure could lead to proficiency. He carefully recalled the process of refining the elixir and discovered that he had made some mistakes in controlling the temperature of the furnace.

In the novel, controlling the temperature of the fire is extremely important when refining the elixir. Even the slightest mistake can lead to failure. He adjusted his mindset and began his second attempt.

This time, he controlled the fire's temperature even more carefully, keeping a close eye on the changes in the furnace. As time passed, a faint medicinal fragrance emanated from the furnace.

Ling Xiao was delighted, knowing that there should be some progress in alchemy this time.

When he opened the furnace again, he saw a few dull-colored pills. Although the quality of these pills was not high, Ling Xiao was very happy. After all, this was his first successful pill refining.

The system prompts again: "Alchemy successful, proficiency +5."

Seeing his proficiency increase, Ling Xiao became even more resolute to continue on the path of alchemy. In the days that followed, Ling Xiao continued to experiment with alchemy. Every failure would allow him to learn from his experience, and every success would improve his proficiency.

His alchemy skills were gradually improving, and the quality of the pills he refined was getting higher and higher. Elder Mo saw Ling Xiao's progress, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Ling Xiao, a new disciple, could master the alchemy techniques and refine pills in such a short time.

He said to Ling Xiao, "Ling Xiao, you have great talent. Keep working hard and you will definitely achieve great things in alchemy in the future."

After hearing Elder Mo's praise, Ling Xiao became more determined in his goal.

Besides refining pills, Ling Xiao also did not slack off in his cultivation. He knew that in this world, strength was the most important thing. He would set aside a certain amount of time every day to practice, constantly improving his cultivation.

With the help of the proficiency system, his training speed was much faster than others. Every time he practiced a new technique or martial art, as long as he kept practicing, his proficiency would increase, allowing his strength to grow rapidly.

Ling Xiao's performance in the sect became increasingly outstanding, attracting the attention of many disciples. One day, while practicing in the mountains behind the sect, Ling Xiao stumbled upon a hidden cave.

He walked into the cave with curiosity and found a Ganoderma lucidum emitting a faint glow. This Ganoderma lucidum was crystal clear and emitted a powerful spiritual energy.

Ling Xiao was overjoyed. He knew this was an extremely precious thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which would be extremely helpful for both alchemy and cultivation. He carefully plucked the Ganoderma lucidum and placed it in his storage ring.

After returning to his residence, Ling Xiao couldn't wait to start studying this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

He consulted a large number of classics and found that this Ganoderma lucidum could be used to refine a high-level elixir called "Ganoderma lucidum Peiyuan Pill", which could greatly improve the practitioner's cultivation.

Ling Xiao immediately began to prepare the other materials needed to refine the Lingzhi Peiyuan Pill. After some twists and turns, he finally gathered all the materials.

During the alchemy process, Ling Xiao was fully focused, continuously injecting the spiritual power in his body into the alchemy furnace.

As time went by, a rich medicinal aroma emanated from the furnace. Ling Xiao was delighted, knowing that the elixir was about to be refined.

Suddenly, there was a roaring sound from the furnace, and a pill emitting golden light flew out of the furnace. Ling Xiao was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed the pill.

The Ganoderma Lucidum Pill felt warm to the touch, and Ling Xiao could sense the powerful force within. He swallowed the pill without hesitation, and instantly, a powerful medicinal force erupted within him.

Ling Xiao immediately sat down cross-legged, circulated his internal skills, and began to refine the medicinal power. As the medicinal power continued to be refined, Ling Xiao's cultivation level also steadily improved.

When he had completely refined the medicinal power of the Ganoderma Lucidum Peiyuan Pill, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had actually broken through a small realm.

This adventure greatly improved Ling Xiao's strength and made him more determined to practice hard and improve his status in the sect.

He understood that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by possessing strong power could he protect himself and explore a wider world.

During his time at the sect, Ling Xiao not only worked hard at cultivation and alchemy, but also made many like-minded friends. They exchanged cultivation experiences, discussed alchemy techniques, and made progress together.

Ling Xiao gradually found his sense of belonging in this world, and he began to enjoy this life full of challenges and opportunities.

He also often thinks about his family and friends in modern society and wonders how they are doing now. He knows that he may never be able to return to his original world, but he is not depressed by this.

In this new world, he has new goals and pursuits. He wants to become a powerful alchemist through his own efforts and explore the mysteries of this world.

As time went by, Ling Xiao's reputation in the sect grew.

His alchemy skills have reached a very high level, and he is able to refine many high-level elixirs. His cultivation is also constantly improving, and he has become a leader among the younger generation of disciples in the sect.

The elders of the sect also praised Ling Xiao highly, believing that he was a rare genius.

Ling Xiao did not become complacent because he knew he still had a lot to learn and improve. He continued to work hard, constantly improving his strength in preparation for the upcoming sect competition.

He knew that by achieving good results in the sect competition, he could not only obtain more resources and rewards, but also improve his status within the sect.

Ling Xiao is determined to make a splash in the competition and let everyone see his strength.

During the period before the competition began, Ling Xiao worked even harder to practice and refine pills.

He would spend a lot of time every day in the training ground, constantly practicing martial arts and skills. His sweat soaked his clothes, but he never complained.

In terms of alchemy, Ling Xiao is constantly trying new recipes and methods. He hopes to be able to refine more advanced pills and show off his alchemy talent in the competition.

His efforts were not in vain. With the help of the proficiency system, his alchemy skills improved rapidly.

Ling Xiao knew that he was fully prepared for the upcoming competition. He looked forward to achieving excellent results in the competition and laying a solid foundation for his development in this world.

After successfully refining a low-level healing elixir, Ling Xiao was not satisfied. He knew that this was just the beginning of his alchemy journey. Under the guidance of Elder Mo, he continued to study various techniques and methods of alchemy.

Elder Mo is an experienced alchemist, and he is very strict with Ling Xiao.

Every day, Ling Xiao would come to the Alchemy Pavilion early to learn the theoretical knowledge of alchemy from Elder Mo, and then carry out practical operations.

From the collection and preparation of medicinal materials to the proportion of the pill formula and the control of the heat, every step requires Ling Xiao to practice repeatedly until he masters it.

Ling Xiao was well aware of his advantage in this world: the proficiency system. Every practice, whether successful or unsuccessful, would bring him an improvement in proficiency.

And through constant experimentation, he gradually figured out some alchemy methods that suited him.

Once, Elder Mo gave Ling Xiao a task, asking him to refine a kind of elixir called "Qingxin Ningshen Pill". This elixir is very important for practitioners, as it can help them maintain a calm mind during practice and improve their practice efficiency.
