Su Lingxiu was fully committed to her understanding of medicinal pills. Most of her time was spent in her room, organizing her comprehension of these pills and attempting to combine valuable medicines into pill formulas based on the theory of sovereigns, ministers, assistants, and envoys.

Li Xuan occasionally paid attention and praised in his heart. This lass was indeed a monster, starting to learn medicine at four years old and treating people at six. Within such a short time, she had already written out the characteristics and effects of various valuable medicines.

She even started combining these medicines, creating her own pill formulas.

“The theory of pills is not a difficult issue for her, however, the challenge lies with her understanding of the cultivation system and beginning the practice of martial arts.”

“Otherwise, despite her deep understanding of medicinal pills, without the foundation of martial arts to back it up, she could only go so far and won’t be able to make any real pills.”

“She can only further her medical skills and her understanding of alchemy, nothing more.”

The core of Alchemedicine, contrary to what one might think, lies not in alchemy or medicine, but in martial arts. It is through martial arts that the arts of Alchemedicine are driven.

Only this is the core, the essence.

Apart from organizing her understanding of medicinal pills, Su Lingxiu also instructed Shi’er to find someone to carve a life-sized mannequin.

She meticulously labeled each acupoint on the mannequin for reference.

The more Li Xuan saw, the more satisfied he was. As long as Su Lingxiu succeeded in beginning her cultivation journey, as she continued to research, she would surely be able to mark all 720 acupoints throughout the body.

“When Xu Yan returns, I’ll have him teach his junior sister. With Xu Yan’s comprehension and creativity, he can definitely assist Su Lingxiu in deciphering the cultivation method,” Li Xuan made up his mind.

Su Lingxiu, this disciple, had an uncanny talent for the way of medicinal pills.

It would be such a shame if she couldn’t enter the world of martial arts.

While Su Lingxiu was organising her insights and the theory of making pills and making formulas by combining rare medicines, she also tried to understand cultivation methods.

However, compared to her comprehension of medicinal pills, her understanding of cultivation techniques did not enlighten her much.

She was not in a hurry, and once she had organized her thoughts on medicinal pills, she would fully dedicate herself to understanding the practice of martial arts. She didn’t believe her innate talent would keep her from understanding it.

Shi’er was a bit frustrated as he found himself stuck at the peak of internal organ cultivation, unable to break through to the realm of blood and qi cultivation.

He could only continue to train hard, exploring how he could make the breakthrough.

Li Xuan left him to his devices, as Shi’er had decent talent. Breaking through to the qi and blood realm was only a matter of time.

A golden light appeared.

“Your disciple Xu Yan has broken through to the early stages of the Innate Realm. You have reached the peak of the Innate Realm.”

Xu Yan had broken through to the early stages of the Innate Realm. His cultivation speed was extremely fast, worthy of being the initiator of his martial arts undertaking.

Li Xuan was extremely pleased in his heart.

His power had increased once more.

The next day.

Xu Yan finally returned.

The return of his oldest disciple made Li Xuan very happy. As for teaching Xu Yan the cultivation techniques beyond the Innate Realm, he decided to hold off for now. The more pressing matter was to have him assist Su Lingxiu in understanding the cultivation method of Alchemedicine.

If he taught Xu Yan advanced techniques right now, Xu’s focus would solely be on those techniques, leaving little mental capacity to assist Su Lingxiu in her cultivation.

Given Xu Yan’s monstrous talent, coupled with the fact that he is an Innate Realm martial artist, it shouldn’t take too long for him to assist Su Lingxiu in understanding cultivation techniques.

“Although Su Lingxiu isn’t fully comprehending it by herself and Xu Yan is assisting her, the ultimate comprehension of cultivation techniques is something she herself must achieve. Shouldn’t she be able to receive feedback from the Golden Finger then?

“Xu Yan is the initiator of Martial Arts, he is the oldest disciple. The Golden Finger should recognize him.”

Li Xuan contemplated within his heart. With Xu Yan’s help in comprehending the cultivation method, even if it was not solely Su Lingxiu’s own comprehension, the final enlightenment was still dependent on her. She was the one practicing it after all.

She should be able to gain the approval of the Golden Finger and receive feedback.

“Meng Chong’s Thunderbolt Horizontal Sky movement technique also received inspiration from Xu Yan, and it was still able to receive feedback. Su Lingxiu should be no exception,” thought Li Xuan.

As long as they were eligible for feedback from the Golden Finger, he could have Xu Yan help his future disciples understand the cultivation techniques he devised. In this way, he wouldn’t have to worry about his newly minted martial arts techniques being impossible for new disciples to comprehend.

He had complete confidence in Xu Yan.

“This is your junior sister, Su Lingxiu!” Li Xuan introduced.

“And this, is your elder brother, Xu Yan!”

As Xu Yan looked at his junior sister, he was left in awe. His junior sister was truly beautiful.

“Nice to meet you, junior sister!”

Looking at Xu Yan, Su Lingxiu widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment. Her eldest brother was so young, hardly older than her.

But he was already an Innate Realm martial artist.

His talent was truly terrifying.

“Nice to meet you, elder brother!” Su Lingxiu brightly grinned. The stronger her senior brother was, the stronger her support would be in the future.

“Elder brother, 1 have some doubts about cultivation. Can 1 ask you for guidance?” Su Lingxiu asked, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, looking hopeful.

She remembered clearly what her master said, that she could always ask her senior brother if she didn’t understand something.

“Of course!” Xu Yan nodded affirmatively.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Xu Yan had the demeanor of a senior brother.

He then spoke, “Lingxiu cultivates in Alchemedicine. The method of cultivating, even if it’s slightly different from traditional martial arts, has commonalities.”

“Her martial arts cultivation is secondary. What she is skilled at is producing pills and treating ailments.”

Xu Yan asked with curiosity, “Master, what is Alchemy?”

“Alchemy is the process of refining the essence of valuable and spiritual medicines by removing their impurities and thus, transforming them to have extraordinary effects.

“In simpler terms, the same few strands of valuable medicine, prepared into a decoction or pills using traditional methods, would only have an effect strength of one or two. However, if refined into a pill, the same ingredients would have an effect strength of ten..”
