From waterfowl, it began to transform into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

"Young disciple, what is your name?"

To cover up his embarrassment, Gu Heting could only say that. The disciples below the stage all looked at Gu Heting with curious eyes.

Putting aside everything else, how can a waterbird impart knowledge and skills?

Many people were puzzled, but not uneasy. Most disciples remained silent, simply watching quietly.

The disciple's brow was also very clear.

Although he was stunned for a long time, he nodded: "My name is Song Baitao, a cultivator with a wood spirit root. I just entered the Xiaoshan Sect two years ago. I opened my spirit root only 15 years ago. Today I am over forty-three years old."

Holy crap, 43 years old.

Gu Heting is only one year old. According to the conversion of human days, he is barely a month old. If he were a human, he would be an age to attend a wedding.

He was the younger one.

All eyes turned to Gu Heting, even Xiang Zheng just smiled and stroked his beard. Although Gu Heting was a little nervous, he still answered Song Baitao's question.

"Those who seek the Way must strengthen their foundation and cultivate their vitality."

"It originally meant to conserve energy and build up strength. The body is like water, and the breath is like the flowing rivers and lakes."

"They complement each other. Without water, there are no lakes. The method of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vital energy in Daoist alchemy is not an ordinary method of health preservation."

After rambling on and on, Gu Heting didn't even know what he was saying.

All they know is some profound nonsense.

But the disciples below the stage stared wide-eyed, feeling that Gu Heting's words made perfect sense. Xiang Zheng, who usually thought things through carefully, also twirled his beard with two fingers.

At this moment, Xiang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

I think what Gu Heting said makes a lot of sense.

"Um"

"Let me put it this way: in order to refine pills, your dantian must be full of spiritual energy."

"If you want to strengthen your foundation and cultivate your vitality, you must concentrate the essence of your spiritual power into one point."

"The arson follows a pattern. Looking down at the Dao patterns on the elixir."

"It's a matter of constant dripping wears away a stone. That's why I often say to strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality."

That statement is only half true.

He merely steered his thoughts towards strengthening the foundation and nourishing the source. A few words were enough to shut Song Baitao up.

What did Song Baitao want to say? But he felt that what the little water bird said made a lot of sense.

He squatted down, stroking his chin as he savored the moment.

After a long silence, he said, "I understand, that makes sense."

What the hell do you know?

Brother, I'm rambling on and on, do you even understand what I'm saying?

"The dantian (lower abdomen) must be filled with abundant spiritual energy. This energy comes from the daily practice of a cultivator."

"In alchemy, the same principle applies to controlling the fire and raising the temperature."

"If one is very focused on controlling spiritual energy, one can proceed step by step on the path of alchemy."

Gu Heting was dumbfounded. Why were these people so eager to make excuses for themselves?

To avoid an awkward silence, he nodded frequently.

"Good comprehension."

The crowd gasped in astonishment, realizing that this little waterbird was a reclusive master. They hadn't seen any strange beasts, nor did they understand why the little waterbird had gained intelligence and could speak human language.

But he had a whole set of reasons for his arguments.

These are all children who have only recently entered the immortal sect.

Compared to the human realm, he is already quite old.

But for a cultivator, it's merely a drop in the ocean of the long path to immortality. How could one not be moved upon hearing such a truth?

Zheng Jian found this lesson in preaching and teaching to be very good.

He nodded repeatedly as he looked at the crowd. He coughed lightly, twirling his signature beard with his fingers: "Gentlemen, the Xiaoshan Sect has been established for over a hundred years, but its foundation is shallow. Although we are not as powerful as those major sects..."

"It possesses a legendary spiritual mine and spiritual vein."

"But the Xiaoshan Sect treats everyone equally. We are never stingy in imparting knowledge and skills, and there is no class distinction."

"Although our sect has little fortune, it still stands strong today."

"From this day forward, Fellow Daoist Gu Heting will be an honored guest of our small mountain. He will also be the head of the Hundred Herbs Hall of the Alchemy Sect."

"From today onwards, Fellow Daoist Gu Heting will teach everyone the methods of alchemy."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

The disciples below the stage whispered among themselves. Although there weren't many disciples, the noise was still quite loud. Song Baitao, however, kept nodding, seemingly in agreement.

Gu Heting was dumbfounded.

He just came to take a look and, incidentally, listen to the Daoist Heart Sutra.

He hadn't even mastered the basics yet, and after uttering a few incoherent words, he actually became the head of the Hundred Herbs Hall in this small sect.

Are you kidding me?

He's like a complete idiot, he knows nothing.

"Disciples of Xiaoshan Sect, Fellow Daoist Gu Heting, although he is a strange beast, his skill in alchemy is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"If the disciples wish to see..."

"Then we can let Fellow Daoist Gu Heting give it a demonstration."

"Old man, you're playing me." The old man's words put him on the spot. Many disciples stood up, some even with hope in their eyes.

It is extremely rare to see a master alchemist.

This alone is enough to make one famous far and wide; those who study the Heart Sutra of Alchemy will find it a great help on their path to alchemy. This certainly excited all the disciples.

Among the disciples, a long-haired woman stood up.

His original name was Jiang Qiushui. He was a founding disciple of the Xiaoshan Sect and Xiang Wanqing's senior sister. Now, the sect has produced a genius alchemist, and this genius alchemist is a strange beast.

But Jiang Qiushui was also very excited.

She clasped her hands in a respectful greeting, and as a cultivator about to enter the Core Formation stage, the woman's tone was extremely sincere.

"The senior is a talent that even the heavens envy."

"A hero among ten thousand. If your alchemy skills are so superb, could you please demonstrate them to me, senior?" These few words made Gu Heting feel like he was floating on air.

Although I feel better, I still have some suggestions.

The crowd had practically put him on the fire to roast, and all he could do was nod.

"Well then, everyone, although I am a strange beast, I will make a fool of myself."

After Gu Heting finished speaking, he flapped his two small wings. The ring on his ankle glowed with a blue light, and at this moment, the blue light shone brightly, and a blue alchemy furnace floated in mid-air.

Gu Heting's left little bird claw held the Great Dao Pill Manual.

With a gentle flap of its wings.

Flames erupted from both sides. The two fiery serpents, like long, red wolves, burrowed into the alchemy furnace.

"Everyone, the name of the pill I have created is the Crimson Blaze Pill."

"It is a highly nourishing substance that dispels cold and prevents the pain of frost."

"The alchemy furnace is open."

As Gu Heting finished speaking, numerous medicinal herbs, carrying a scorching and pungent aroma, flew towards the alchemy furnace from his ankle.

Heart-Nourishing Grass, Heavenly Pepper, Hundred Wisdom Fire Spirit, Blazing Fire Spirit Fruit...........

Various medicinal herbs were gathered together.

The alchemy furnace sparked a few flecks the moment it touched the medicinal herbs. These herbs were not the Concentration Pill; they were herbs imbued with cold energy.

Nowadays, medicinal herbs have a pungent and irritating smell.

The entire place where the teachings were given was filled with a pungent odor. Many disciples covered their mouths and noses; although their ears and noses were sore, they kept their eyes glued to the alchemy furnace.

I was afraid of missing even a second.

"This Crimson Fire Elixir requires a great fire to smelt it in the cauldron."

"Use a thousand pieces of gold and a raging fire to ignite the potent nature of the elixir."

"Alright everyone, let's start the fire."
