On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Fan told the three the names of the medicinal herbs and then handed them a book that recorded spiritual plants.

The three nodded obediently and began searching one by one in the book.

Zhao Fan ignored them and instead opened the storage bag Su San had given him to take a look.

The storage bag contained a large quantity of spiritual herbs, as well as the amount of pills needed for the current month.

There are a total of twenty-six pills, including fourteen Spirit Nourishing Pills and twelve Spirit Purifying Pills.

Given Zhao Fan's alchemy skills, refining these pills would not be difficult; he only needs two batches of Spirit Nourishing Pills and two batches of Spirit Clearing Pills.

With nothing else to do, Zhao Fan decided to start refining a batch of Spirit-Nourishing Pills.

He looked at the three people in the courtyard, thought for a moment, and then made another arrangement.

"I'll be refining a batch of pills today, so I won't have much time to deal with you. You can stay in the courtyard for now."

After saying that, Zhao Fan led the waiter into the alchemy room, and at the same time, he didn't forget to drink the spirit rice porridge on the table in one gulp.

"He won't even let us in to observe his alchemy practice. I think he has no intention of teaching us properly."

Su Ziheng was clearly not satisfied with Zhao Fan's arrangements.

Su Ziyun, who was standing next to him, was also very interested in how Zhao Fan refined pills and wanted to go in and take a look.

"Let's peek secretly."

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense. You don't even recognize medicinal herbs. Even if you went in, what could you do? Would you be able to understand them?"

"Do whatever Master tells you to do. If he really doesn't teach us alchemy, then go find Uncle Three. Now, make sure you complete the tasks Master assigned you!"

Su Zichen immediately spoke up and reprimanded the two of them.

As the eldest of the three, he naturally had to take good care of his younger siblings.

Alchemy is an extremely precious skill, and having the opportunity to learn it is already quite an achievement.

If it's because you don't listen to Zhao Fan and make him angry, then there's no way you'll be able to teach him in the first place.

What they need to do now is to do what Zhao Fan asked them to do, so that Zhao Fan has nothing to say.

This was also the task Su San gave him. The family had paid such a high price so that they could learn alchemy from Zhao Fan.

This is extremely important to the family.

Moreover, if they could learn alchemy, their status within the family would rise accordingly.

For them, there are only benefits and no drawbacks.

Hearing Su Zichen's words, the two nodded silently, then sat back down and continued reading.

……

Before we knew it, it was afternoon, and the sun was beginning to set.

The three people in the courtyard smelled the faint fragrance of pills wafting from the alchemy room, their eyes filled with envy.

"Brother Chen, aren't you really going to take a look?"

Su Ziheng found it hard to suppress his curiosity and couldn't resist the urge to secretly watch how Zhao Fan refined pills.

"Have you mastered everything he instructed you to do? Focus on your studies and don't overthink things."

"Since he has accepted the benefits from our Su family, he will naturally teach us alchemy."

"And if you end up being kicked out because of your poor foundation, then your third uncle will have no reason to help you."

"Whatever you do, just do your job well first."

Su Zichen's lecturing made the two people next to him a little unhappy, but there was really nothing wrong with it.

They didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.

As Su Zichen finished speaking, the door to the alchemy room opened again.

Zhao Fan and Xiao Er came out from inside.

Making the Spirit Nourishing Pill was much simpler than making the Spirit Clearing Pill, and it didn't take up too much of Zhao Fan's energy.

After he came out, he saw the three of them and took the initiative to ask them questions.

"Well, have you remembered everything I asked you to remember?"

Su Zichen nodded first.

"Master, I've remembered."

Upon hearing Su Zichen's words, Zhao Fan sighed and spoke.

"I told you, just call me Brother Zhao, you don't need to call me Master."

Upon hearing Zhao Fan emphasize the matter of address again, Su Zichen immediately nodded.

"Yes, Brother Zhao."

Su Ziheng and Su Ziyun nodded in agreement.

"Brother Zhao, we've remembered it all."

Zhao Fan nodded, then took out dozens of different spiritual herbs from his storage bag and mixed them together.

"Since you have all memorized them, then find the seven medicinal herbs needed for alchemy, as recorded in the book."

Looking at the table full of medicinal herbs, the three of them exchanged glances and then began to select herbs according to the records on the tree.

The three of them quickly selected the medicinal herbs they needed.

Zhao Fan nodded upon seeing this; he could tell that the three of them were indeed reading attentively.

The selected medicinal materials were all of the correct quality.

"Good. Now, the requirements are higher. You must memorize all the medicinal herbs in the book I gave you."

"To become an alchemist, identifying spiritual herbs is the most basic skill, and you must not be lazy in this regard."

Su Zichen nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Understood, thank you, Brother Zhao."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at his younger siblings beside him.

Seeing Su Zichen's gaze, the two immediately followed suit and spoke up.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Fan nodded slightly and spoke.

"It's getting late, you should head back now. Take this book with you, read it often, and try to memorize its contents as soon as possible."

The three nodded to each other, then left the courtyard with the books.

Zhao Fan then took Xiao Er back to the cultivation room to replenish the spiritual energy lost during alchemy.

Meanwhile, Zhao Fan began to make plans in his mind while out in the wild.

Since we don't have to meditate all day anymore, we should at least plan what we should do during the day.

Previously, because his master left behind limited knowledge, he found it difficult to learn anything useful.

Now that we've arrived at the Su family's residence, we should naturally take advantage of their library to learn more techniques for self-defense.

In future duels, I won't suffer too much loss.

With this in mind, Zhao Fan made up his mind to go to the Scripture Pavilion the next day to exchange for some spells to learn.

In addition, he also needs to find an opportunity to sell the large amount of materials he had collected and exchange them for something useful to him.

For now, it seems that these are all the things that need to be done and the things that need to be dreamed of.

Actually, if given the chance, Zhao Fan would prefer to find someone skilled in enchantments and learn from them.

Learning only the forbidden content is completely insufficient to help him unlock the prohibitions on the ring.

"It seems that I'll have to find an opportunity to go to Zhoujiafang Market."

Zhao Fan said softly.

Zhoujiafang Market is one of the largest markets in the entire Nanjun County. Perhaps you can find what you need there.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Fan pulled his wandering thoughts back, took out a Qingling Pill from his storage bag, swallowed it in one gulp, and began cultivating.
