Transmigration with QQ Farm

“Yes, Grandma!” All the displeasure within Cheng Xiao Xiao was all gone. “Grandma, I plan to take a trip to Valley of the Alchemists. We are going to need some mystical tools in additional to pills. Does Grandma have any suggestions?”

“Grandma doesn’t have any suggestions. It’s fine that you want to go to Valley of the Alchemists. After all, there are items that must be purchased from them. However, there is an issue that you must keep in mind. Regardless of whether you are going to concoct pills yourself or have Little Yuteng does it, that should only be for the first year or so. It’s not sustainable in a long run. You are going to need to have someone take over at some point. And you must give this candidate a careful consideration.”

“Careful consideration?”

“Yes!” Old Mrs. Cheng couldn’t help but smile when she saw the baffled look on Cheng Xiao Xiao. “If you want to have a talent soon, you might be able to pick someone from Valley of the Alchemists. As you can contract them using your dimension, you wouldn’t need to worry about their loyalty even if he isn’t one of us. If you don’t want to pick someone from Valley of the Alchemists and would rather train someone up ourselves, that would work as well. But that will also take longer in time. It can take up to 3 ~ 5 years to train an alchemist. So, when are over at Valley of the Alchemists, don’t miss your opportunity to scout! We won’t need too many. Two to three individuals will do.”

“Grandma, you are so right. How come that never occurred to me!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a happy look.

“It wasn’t that you didn’t think about it, you just haven’t thought about it just yet was all.”

“Thank you, Gradma!”

“No need to thank me. We are a family.”

Old Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, “By the way, Xiao Xiao, when you are looking for a tinder, the pure natural kinds are the best and they are the best and easiest for concocting pills.

“Pure natural kind?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded.

“Yes, you may not know this just yet.” It wasn’t difficult for Old Mrs. Cheng to figure out what was going on in Cheng Xiao Xiao’s mind from her expression. She went on to explain, “An example of a pure natural tinder will be the fire from the center of earth. This kind of tinder came from well underground and is very difficult to get to. I am not sure if anyone on this continent would even be able to retrieve it.

“Other than the fire from the center of earth, there is also the Skeletal Fire. This type of tinder is difficult to obtain as well. It came from the burning of 10,000 skeletons. It is also formed naturally and is considered one of the best tinder for pill-concocting. This, too, is considered as something that is rarely seen.

“Then there are Fire Phoenix and Fire Kirin, the tinder from these godly beasts can also be used to concoct pills. They are equally difficult to obtain as these godly beasts will never appear here…”

“Grandma!”

After she had listened to all that, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally couldn't help but call out and stopped her grandmother. Smiling bitterly, she said, “These tinder that you are talking about don’t exist, right? How are we suppose to our hands on them? I thought the most commonly used one for pill-concocting is the true fire of Samadhi?”

“The true fire of Samadhi is also a godly fire for this continent,” said Old Mrs. Cheng with a hint of a smile. She carried on, “For a martial emperor or a martial monarch, if their elements are fire, they, too, will be able to refine and create the true fire of Samadhi.”

“You need martial emperor or martial monarch for that?” Cheng Xiao Xiao paused for a bit and asked, “Grandma, not everyone at Valley of the Alchemists are martial emperor, right? How are they able to use the true fire of Samadhi to concoct pills?”

“I don’t have an answer for that. You will need to go and find that out for yourself.”

“Okay, Grandma. Anything else that I should be aware of?”

“No, just believe in yourself.”

“Okay, Grandma!”
