Fights Break Sphere: Get Extraction System at the Beginning.

"Hi, student, greets Elder Huo. I am Xiao Ling." Xiao Ling stepped forward, bowed, and replied.

"I heard that you have an outstanding talent in cultivation, but I don't know how about your talent in alchemy? Come in with me, I will teach you some basic knowledge of alchemy first." After saying this, Elder Huo walked towards the alchemy department.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling first thanked the middle-aged mentor and quickly followed.

Walking into a study room of the Alchemy Department, Elder Huo first handed Xiao Ling a storage ring and said, "This storage ring contains some techniques and fighting skills suitable for alchemists, as well as some books, prescriptions, and medicine cauldrons. Take it back and read it yourself. You have a special status in Canaan College. If you don't understand something, just ask me."

Seeing Elder Huo paying his respects in this way, Xiao Ling bowed and said, "Thank you for the training from the academy and the elders."

Elder Huo saw that Xiao Ling was sincere and respectful to his elders, without the arrogance of other young geniuses. He stroked his gray beard and smiled, appreciating Xiao Ling's attitude.

"You have never been exposed to alchemy before, so let me tell you some basic knowledge about alchemy. If you want to make medicine, you must first have a medicine cauldron. An alchemist's medicine cauldron is like a warrior's weapon, it is indispensable."

"Medicine cauldrons have different levels. The more fire holes a cauldron has, the higher the level and the rarer it is. This kind of fire hole is not made by just making a few holes. The mystery inside is difficult for laymen to discover. The fire hole is the essence of the medicine cauldron and requires high-precision polishing. During the manufacturing process, if there is even a slight mistake, the entire medicine cauldron will become a failure. Therefore, the more fire holes a medicine cauldron has, the stronger its auxiliary effect on medicine refining. Of course, if you want to control multiple fire holes, you need a strong soul perception."

"In addition to the medicine cauldron, the flames we use to refine medicine are generally catalyzed by our fighting spirit. Therefore, to refine high-quality pills, you need a deep fighting spirit cultivation. Even the lowest-level pills require fighting spirit cultivation. Fortunately, you have already reached that level a long time ago."

"For us alchemists, the best flames are of course the divine fires that are naturally nurtured between heaven and earth. They are born in the most dangerous and difficult places in the world, so they are hard to come by." Elder Huo's eyes also revealed his desire for strange fires. "And we have a strange fire in Canaan Academy."

"There are more than one, there are two!" Xiao Ling muttered inwardly. He knew the details of Canaan College. One was a mature form, and the other was a juvenile form. They were all Fallen Heart Flame. Whoever saw them would be confused. It was a pity that the top management of Canaan College didn't know about this. Otherwise, the Fallen Heart Flame that had been making so much noise would have been refined by someone long ago.

Elder Huo saw that Xiao Ling's eyes became more heated as he spoke, and thought that he was planning to take over the academy's Fallen Heart Flame, so he shook his head nonchalantly.

"Don't even think about taking this strange fire. This strange fire is the foundation of the academy. Whoever dares to take it is the enemy of Canaan Academy. You will know the details when you get to the inner courtyard. Don't tell others about the academy's strange fire. Although the academy is not afraid of others causing trouble, don't cause trouble."

After hearing Elder Huo's warning, Xiao Ling nodded solemnly and said, "I understand, Elder. I won't tell anyone."

"Don't feel disappointed because you don't have the strange fire. In addition to the strange fire, you can also find other fires to replace it, such as beast fire, which has the same good effect."

As he spoke, Elder Huo stretched out his right palm, and a dark flame emerged from his palm. The space around the flame was slightly distorted, and Xiao Ling, who was not far from Elder Huo, could feel a terrifying heat.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling also summoned his own fusion beast fire, spread out his palm, and a ball of blue-pink flame emerged, looking very agile. Then he said: "In fact, I have also refined a beast fire. What do you think of the quality of my beast fire, elder?"

Seeing this scene, Elder Huo also became interested. He looked at the beast fire in Xiao Ling's hand with great interest and gave his own evaluation.

"Your beast fire is a bit like the beast fire of the Fiery Wolf, but it is a little softer. Although I haven't seen it yet, the quality should be quite high, higher than the ordinary sixth-level beast fire. Although the energy is not strong, it is very compatible with your current cultivation. As your strength increases, the beast fire will also become stronger, and it is very suitable to be used until Dou Zong."

Retracting his gaze, Elder Huo continued, "I have almost finished explaining the theoretical knowledge. Now it's time to get started. Come with me to the alchemy room. I will demonstrate it to you first, and then you can practice on your own. I will watch you from the side. You can ask me any questions at any time." After finishing his words, Elder Huo turned around and left the study.

Xiao Ling also quickly followed, feeling very happy, as his journey to becoming a pharmacist was finally about to begin.

Chapter 15 Refining Medicine

Xiao Ling followed Elder Huo and walked into the alchemy room after a while.

As he walked in, Xiao Ling felt a warm current rushing through his body, just like he had walked into the drying room in his previous life. Fortunately, he has become a fighter now. After circulating his fighting spirit a little, the feeling of heat faded away for the most part. Moreover, the fire attribute has become more active here. If he practices here, he should be able to make faster progress than usual.

Looking towards the center of the room, you can see a medicine cauldron nearly half a meter long placed there.

The whole body of the medicine cauldron is brown with some red stripes. At the bottom of the medicine cauldron, there are two ferocious wolf heads carved with wide-open wolf mouths, forming three interconnected fire holes. The holes are curved and continuous, and the deeper they go, the smaller the diameter is. It seems to contain mysteries. At the top of the medicine cauldron, a giant snake is coiled into the dark red lid of the cauldron. There is a special hole in the lid, which is the place for putting in medicinal materials. The surface of the medicine cauldron is painted with beautiful carvings of monsters, which are lifelike and look like living things.

"The Alchemy Room is a place where the Alchemy Department specializes in refining medicine. The medicine cauldrons inside are the same as the one I gave you. They are all three-mouthed cauldrons."

Elder Huo walked to the medicine cauldron and waved his hand, and a pile of medicinal herbs appeared next to it. "Watch carefully, I will only demonstrate it once."

The next step was also the first time that Xiao Ling saw the process of a pharmacist refining medicine. The dark flame entered the medicine cauldron, and the herbs were devoured by the flames one by one, leaving behind the essence of the medicine in powder or paste. Finally, the essences of various medicinal materials merged into a rough-surfaced pill. As the flames quenched, the pill in the cauldron became round and green, and a faint medicinal fragrance spread from the cauldron.

Originally, alchemists needed a quiet environment to make medicine, without any disturbance. But because it was a first-grade pill, it was very easy for Elder Huo, so Elder Huo explained every step in detail. The pill was soon made, and Elder Huo used his fighting spirit to grab the pill in his hand, then put it in a jade bottle and threw it to Xiao Ling.

With a slight push of the suction palm, the jade screen fell steadily into his hand. Before Xiao Ling could put it into his belt, Elder Huo said, "This is a first-grade elixir, the Fire Condensation Pill, which can slightly improve the cultivation of fire attribute fighting spirit. There is a pill recipe in the ring. You can practice with this kind of pill yourself. I just demonstrated it once, and now you can also refine it once." After saying that, he stepped aside and made room.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ling first emptied his mind so that he had no distracting thoughts.

Place your hand on the fire opening of the medicine cauldron and inject the beast fire into it.

"puff"

With a muffled sound, blue-pink beast fire appeared in the medicine cauldron, constantly churning and burning.

Xiao Ling closed his eyes and began to sense the wood-attributed Dou Qi in his body. Ever since he absorbed the trunk bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, Xiao Ling's affinity for the wood attribute had greatly increased. It only took him a minute to lock onto that green Dou Qi.

Xiao Ling stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the other fire mouth. A green airflow as thick as a thumb was slowly poured in.

As soon as the green airflow entered the medicine cauldron, the blue-pink beast fire inside suddenly quieted down as if a chemical reaction had occurred. At this time, even if Xiao Ling had not yet controlled the beast fire, he could sense that the violent factor in the beast fire had been neutralized by the power of wood. Moreover, due to the principle of wood generating fire, the flame at this time was obviously more durable and controllable than before.

After recalling the medicinal materials needed for the Fire Condensing Pill and Elder Fire's refining techniques in his mind.

The soul perception invaded the medicine cauldron and began to control the beast fire. Thanks to the excellent soul perception and the neutralization of the wood attribute fighting spirit, Xiao Ling seemed to be able to control the beast fire with ease.

Put the required medicinal materials into the medicine cauldron step by step, extract and purify the medicinal materials, integrate the essence of various medicinal materials into one to form the prototype of the elixir, and continue to temper it with flames.

Following Elder Huo's instructions, Xiao Ling carefully completed each request.

After seven failures, he finally refined the first pill in his life on the eighth try. Although it had some bumps on the surface, it made Xiao Ling smile widely.

He took out a special jade bottle, activated his suction palm to put the pill into the bottle, and put it into his belt. This was the first pill he made, and Xiao Ling had already planned to keep it well.

Elder Huo on the side was quite satisfied and smiled like an old father.

Facts have proved that Xiao Ling not only has an extraordinary talent for cultivation, but also has an excellent talent for alchemy.

Elder Huo said, "Although the appearance of the pill is not good and the surface is bumpy, it is very rare to be able to complete the breakthrough from zero to one in such a short time. I have to admit that you are much better than I was back then."

Xiao Ling felt a little playful when he heard this, so he asked, "How long did it take you to refine the elixir for the first time?"

Elder Huo’s smile gradually disappeared, his face darkened, and he rolled his eyes.

I originally thought he was an honest child, but I didn't expect him to be so sinister. It turns out that there was a day when I was wrong about him.

After clearing his throat, Elder Huo changed the subject and said, "Although you have already refined a first-grade pill, it does not mean that you have become a true first-grade alchemist. There was a bit of luck involved in the refining process just now."

"To become a true high-level alchemist, you must also ensure the quality and success rate of the pills. Remember to practice diligently and never slack off!"

As for Xiao Ling, Elder Huo still hopes that he can be down-to-earth and not be proud and complacent because of a little achievement. After all, he is half of his apprentice, and he definitely hopes that Xiao Ling can go further and further in alchemy.

In all these years at Canaan Academy, he had seen too many geniuses. Although there had never been a genius like Xiao Ling, there were countless geniuses who were one level lower than him.

He has seen many people who, because of arrogance, refuse to listen to advice, waste their talent in cultivation, and are completely unable to realize their original potential after growing up.

"Understood. I will practice harder in the future."

Xiao Ling quickly agreed to Elder Huo's earnest admonition. He also knew that he should not be complacent with small achievements. Moreover, Xiao Ling knew that there was a demon girl named Cao Ying from the Cao family in Zhongzhou who could make pills at the age of seven. Xiao Ling really didn't think that his talent in making pills was better than that of Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

Seeing that Xiao Ling really listened to his teachings, Elder Huo nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard, and waved his right hand. A large pile of medicinal herbs appeared next to the medicine cauldron.

"These are the herbs prepared for you to practice. If you run out of them in the future, go to the warehouse and tell them my name. They will give you the herbs."

Seeing this, Xiao Ling quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder."

Elder Huo smiled and stroked his beard, saying only: "Continue to practice well!" before leaving the alchemy room.

Chapter 16 Cultivation

After Elder Huo left, Xiao Ling continued to walk to the medicine cauldron and began to practice alchemy. Whenever the fighting spirit in his body was consumed, he would sit down and start practicing fighting spirit. Feeling his cultivation getting stronger bit by bit, Xiao Ling showed a satisfied smile.

In this way, alchemy and cultivation were constantly alternating. The setting sun had already dyed half the sky red. Walking out of the alchemy room, Xiao Ling stretched his body greatly, and a crackling sound came from his body.

I reached for the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night on my waist, took out the Coke bottle, and drank the entire bottle in one gulp. Most of the day's fatigue disappeared, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "I have never felt so refreshed."

He returned to his room and took out the storage ring that Elder Huo had given him today. His soul perception flowed into it and he began to check the items inside one by one.

First of all, the technique, the low-level technique of the Earth Rank, "Fiery Heaven Burning Technique"

Then came the fighting skills, the Xuan-level advanced body movement "Chasing the Wind Quick Step", the Xuan-level advanced fighting skill "Burning Sky Palm", the Xuan-level advanced fighting skill "Red Flame Fist", and the Earth-level low-level fighting skill "Fire Meteor".

There are also some books about alchemy, such as "The Complete Collection of Medicinal Materials", "How to Identify Alchemy", "Medicine Cauldron Identification Manual", "Three Years of Fire Control and Five Years of Alchemy", "Annotations on Alchemy Techniques", and "One Hundred Tips to Become an Alchemist"...

Looking at these techniques and fighting skills, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Canaan Academy, they are so generous. They felt that I didn't have a good technique to practice, so they gave me a low-level local technique. There is also a low-level local technique "Nine-Layer Phoenix Fire Absolute" in the library. The foundation here is much stronger than that small place of the Jia Ma Empire."

Just looking at these books about alchemists, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch his lips, and he felt a little like he was back in school in his previous life.

After a quick tidy up, putting away all the other books and martial arts techniques, Xiao Ling picked up the book "One Hundred Tips to Becoming an Alchemist" and began to read it with relish, half lying on the bed.

As the days passed, after arriving at Canaan College, Xiao Ling's life gradually became regular.

Every morning, I go to the alchemy room of the Alchemy Department to refine pills and practice fighting spirit. Occasionally, when I don’t understand something, I will go to ask Elder Huo for advice.

Elder Huo was very concerned about his half-disciple. Every time Xiao Ling came to ask questions about alchemy, he would answer them patiently and seriously, and gave Xiao Ling a lot of help.

Elder Huo, who had been in Canaan College for an unknown period of time, was very experienced in teaching students. He knew that geniuses and ordinary people had different receptive abilities, so his teaching method for Xiao Ling was more inclined to let him learn to think about problems and understand knowledge. Everyone is different. Only by walking out of your own alchemy path and having your own insights can you become an excellent alchemist.

Xiao Ling did not disappoint him, and made rapid progress in alchemy, learning the basic knowledge and alchemy techniques very well. His soul power was also constantly improving, more than double that of his peers.

Although Xiao Ling put a lot of effort and time into refining medicine and cultivating himself, he did not neglect actual combat practice.

No matter how powerful a person's own strength is, if he cannot use this strength reasonably, he can only bully some practitioners with weaker cultivation. If you want to be invincible in the same level or fight across levels, practical experience is indispensable.

Xiao Ling often exchanges ideas with students in the academy, and sometimes asks for advice from teachers and elders in the academy. At the beginning, because he could not master his fighting skills well, lacked combat experience, and could not exert his full strength, Xiao Ling would lose to some opponents with similar cultivation. Now, Xiao Ling has a lot of experience in actual combat, and his mastery of fighting skills has also greatly improved. With his excellent physical fitness, super body recovery ability, and soul perception far beyond the same level, he can be said to be a rare opponent in the same realm, and can compete with a realm higher than himself.

Such a growth rate made Xiao Ling famous in the academy. The teachers and students in the academy called him "the number one genius of Canaan Academy."

Xiao Ling gladly accepted these compliments, but did not become proud or complacent about them.

Because he knows what he is pursuing. In order to achieve future goals and get those opportunities, this strength is not enough. In the Douqi Continent, strength is respected and the biggest fist is the hard truth.

The top management of Canaan College was becoming more and more satisfied with Xiao Ling. His talent and character were impeccable, and he was very respectful to his elders. Even the elder Su Qian from the inner courtyard smiled when he saw Xiao Ling, and sometimes came to the outer courtyard to guide Xiao Ling in his practice.

Time passed by like running water, and two years went by in a flash.

On a battlefield in the academy, two students were sparring with each other, and the power of their fighting spread to the surroundings, creating ripples.

On the viewing platform next to the fighting stage, many students were sitting and watching the competition. They were whispering and discussing among themselves.

"Brother Xiao Ling is truly gifted. He is only ten years old but has already become a great fighter. He is worthy of being the number one genius at Canaan College."

"This talent is truly terrifying. I was ten years old when I still couldn't condense the fighting energy to become a fighter."

"Xiao Ling is getting more and more handsome. I really want to have a baby with him."

After a while, the fight on the stage was decided. Xiao Ling deliberately exposed a flaw, and when his opponent was caught off guard, he knocked his opponent off the stage with one punch.

Seeing this scene, the crowd in the stands burst into cheers, and the scene was extremely lively.

Xiao Ling jumped down from the stage, landed in front of the young man, helped him up, and used the soul bone skill "Wildfire cannot burn it all, spring breeze will bring new life" to heal him.

This is a tall and handsome young man, who looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Seeing that he was not seriously injured, Xiao Ling withdrew his hand and said, "Brother Lin, I was a little too heavy-handed when we sparred just now. I hope you are not hurt."

The young man waved his hands, smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. Your healing skill is quite effective. No wonder you recover so quickly every time we spar. I just didn't expect that you could defeat a four-star Grand Master like me just after your Grand Master breakthrough. You are really a monster."

Xiao Ling scratched his head and replied with a smile: "It's just because of your fast recovery speed and strong soul perception. Brother Lin, your strength is the best among the same level. When you reach the Douling level and use the skills to condense the Douqi wings, I may not be able to get any benefits from you in the Douling level."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 17 Rayquaza

The person who fought against Xiao Ling was Lin Xiuya, the second strongest student in Canaan College in the original novel. He had not yet entered the inner courtyard, but at the age of seventeen, he had reached the level of a four-star Grand Fighter, and could already compete with one of the current clan leaders of the eight ancient races.

The people Xiao Ling knows in the outer courtyard now include Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, Lin Yan, and Han Yue.

With his outstanding talent and unique alchemy skills, Xiao Ling had a very close relationship with them. The four of them also discussed joining forces in the "Fire Energy Hunting Competition" in half a year to snatch the old man's fire energy. In this way, they would not have to worry about cultivation resources when they first entered the inner courtyard.

Xiao Ling remembered that in the original novel's ending, the three men all cultivated to the level of Semi-Saint. Although they had Xiao Yan's help, how could they have achieved such an achievement without some talent?

As for building a good relationship with Han Yue, I can only say, black silk sisters, ahem.

Pulling Lin Xiuya up from the ground, the two walked towards the passage leaving the competition venue.

Suddenly, a black monster flew out from the passage, stopped in front of Xiao Ling, rubbed Xiao Ling's cheek intimately, and kept circling around him.

Looking closely, this monster has a slender body, most of which is black, with a few golden circles on its back, red-edged wings on its shoulders and under its body, and a fin-like structure at the end of its tail. There are two long, flat horn-like structures on its head, and two smaller horns below. There are two clear fangs at the tip of its upper snout. It has a pair of yellow eyes with a black pupil in the middle. It has two arms, each with three claws, which flash with a faint cold light, and you can tell at a glance that they are extremely sharp. It hovers in the air and dances, appearing very flexible.

This was the Rayquaza elf egg that Xiao Ling had drawn before. After nearly a year of incubation, it was born on Xiao Ling’s ninth birthday.

I originally thought it was an ordinary Rayquaza, but I didn't expect it to be shiny. I can only say it is really handsome.

After patting the head of the Sparrow, Xiao Ling said to it, "Xiao Kong, get into my sleeve. I will make candy for you later."

Hearing this, Rayquaza nodded, licked Xiao Ling's face, then shrank his body and crawled into Xiao Ling's sleeve.

Seeing this, Lin Xiuya, who was standing by, was full of envy and said sourly, "This guy is so handsome, I want to get one to raise, too."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling just smiled mysteriously. There is only this one Likongzuo in this Douqi Continent, and it is impossible for it to be conquered by others.

This Rift Valley has terrifying potential, and is now a third-level magical beast. As long as it is fed with medicinal herbs, it can absorb energy and refine it to increase its strength. It’s just that the amount it eats is relatively large, almost three times the resources needed for a person to practice. Xiao Ling cannot afford to support it at present, and now he is still using the resources provided by the school.

Why did it improve so quickly? Of course, it was because it had found a good mother, Xiao Xun'er, the richest woman in Douqi Continent. The herbs were given to it as if they were free, and its cultivation improved rapidly. Most of the food for this guy was fed by Xiao Xun'er, and Xiao Ling only occasionally refined some pills for it.
