Chapter 16: One-Star Dou Grandmaster

Chapter 16: One-Star Dou Grandmaster

Following the various points Elder Huo said, Xiao Ming refined step by step.

It turned out that, in addition to his great talent in Dou Qi cultivation, his talent in pill refining was also not bad.

After having the experience of burning herbs to black charcoal more than twenty times, Xiao Ming finally succeeded in extracting the essence of all medicinal plants.

Things were going well, and Xiao Ming felt inwardly encouraged.

All right, the next step was to fuse all the medicinal essences into one pill!

...

After receiving the green-colored pill with a light medicinal fragrance from Xiao Ming, Elder Huo first placed it in front of his eyes to observe its color and then placed it in front of his nose and smelled it.

Elder Huo revealed a smirk towards the sweaty Xiao Ming, "Hehe, although the appearance is irregular and the medicinal fragrance is not very obvious, this is already a finished pill, Yuan Return Pill is moderately difficult to refine among first tier pills, it is very good that you have reached this point in your first refining."

Xiao Ming received the praise and showed a smile.

However, he heard Elder Huo admonish, "Although you have successfully refined a first tier pill, this does not mean that you have now become a true first tier alchemist, the refining process of now has some luck."

"And to become a true tier one alchemist, you also need to ensure the quality and success rate of your pills, remember to practice diligently in the future, don't slack off, understand?"

For Xiao Ming, his sole disciple, Elder Huo still expected him to keep his feet on the ground and not become complacent just because of a small achievement.

In all the years he had been at the Jia Nan Academy, he had seen too many geniuses, and although there were no monsters like Xiao Ming, there were countless geniuses of lesser caliber.

He couldn't even count the number of geniuses who became disobedient and suffered great losses due to their arrogance.

"Understood, I will practice diligently in the future."

In response to Elder Huo's long warning, Xiao Ming hastened to agree.

Seeing that Xiao Ming actually listened to his teachings, Elder Huo nodded in relief, stroked his beard, and, with a wave of his right hand, a large pile of medicinal herbs appeared beside the pill censer.

"These are the practice herbs for you, when you don't have enough in the future, go to the storehouse and report my name, and they will give you the herbs."

"Thank you, master."

"Practice well."

After this, Xiao Ming's life became repetitive.

The other elders were superficial in sparring, and the same was true of his tutor and master, Elder Huo, who treated him like a child, although age-wise he was really a child.

But this was a serious obstacle to his growth.

In addition, to compensate for the time he spent practicing alchemy, he also took pills to help with his cultivation, resulting in an unstable Dou Qi cultivation.

Xiao Ming had thought of solving these problems, namely by entering the Law Enforcement Unit of the Jia Nan Academy for training.

The Law Enforcement Unit of Jia Nan Academy has been dedicated to fighting against the dark and evil forces in the area, and bloodshed is frequent, and by leaving it, Xiao Ming believes that he will definitely have a qualitative change.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is harsh, Xiao Ming neglected a very important person, he still has a teacher in Jia Nan Academy.

Elder Huo had no offspring and only had one disciple, that is Xiao Ming.

After spending time together, he had already treated Xiao Ming as his closest person, was very strict with Xiao Ming in cultivation, but pampered him in everything else, giving him everything he wanted.

Naturally, he did not want that Xiao Ming, who was only a few years old, to put himself in danger, so Xiao Ming, who had not long joined the Law Enforcement Unit, was removed from the unit by Elder Huo, who loved his pupil so much, claiming that he was too young and his cultivation was not deep enough.

Xiao Ming, who could not resist, had to honestly stay at the academy for another year.

His Dou Qi was not solid enough, his Dou techniques were rusty, and he lacked experience in actual combat. Thinking about these things, Xiao Ming had a headache.

Wasn't this a typical template of a filler genius, the kind of genius who could easily be killed by someone who could cross levels to fight?

The kind of genius that was nothing more than a good talent.

People with weaker cultivation defeated someone with stronger cultivation, it was nothing new, and even if he had a strong technique like Rise of Twin Spirits, he might fail.

'Hey, the simulator mentions that certain secret realms in the Black-Corner Region are about to open as well? No, I'll talk to my master, I have to go to the Black-Corner Region to train a bit'.

'Now that I have passed Dou Grandmaster, I am considered a little expert in the Black-Corner Region, so I think there is no reason for my master to stop me from heading to the Black-Corner Region'.

Xiao Ming slapped his thigh, got out of bed, and headed for Elder Huo's residence.
