Chapter 77: Feeding

Chapter 77: Feeding

'This kind of refining can be really simple; it is possible that any alchemist who can melt medicinal ingredients can refine it.'

Xiao Ming shook his head as he looked at the pills with a strange aroma, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of purple pills shot out of the medicinal cauldron with a purple aura, and finally fell into the jade jar in his hand.

Pulling a pill out of the jade jar, he placed it a few centimeters in front of his eyes and didn't even need to sniff it carefully.

A tantalizing aroma reached his nose.

Gulp!

Suddenly, a sound of swallowing saliva sounded from Xiao Ming's side, and it turned out to be Zi Yan, who was standing beside the jade jar, rushing towards Xiao Ming at some point, her big purple eyes full of desire.

Looking at her, Xiao Ming couldn't help but laugh and was about to put the pill in his hand into the pill bottle and give her all together.

But Zi Yan had other plans, so, she bit fiercely towards his finger, no, to be precise, she bit the purple pill he was pinching with his fingers.

"Ah, what are you doing!?"

Zi Yan's action caused Xiao Ming to startle and hastily pull his fingers out of her mouth.

Looking at his fingers that were safe and sound but full of saliva, Xiao Ming was speechless, for a moment he almost thought that his fingers would not be saved.

Looking at Zi Yan, who was unaware that she had scared him, her mouth was still chewing and exclaiming that it was delicious.

Xiao Ming pursed his lips, sighed, and handed her the jade jar in his hand.

"Here, remember to eat it in moderation, don't eat it all at once."

"Mmm-hmm."

Making affirmative sounds, Zi Yan nodded her head repeatedly, and quickly poured herself another purple pill, pouring it directly into her mouth with a mouthful, and chewing it vigorously.

The pill didn't last long either, and in three or two seconds it was chewed and swallowed by Zi Yan.

"Hee hee, it's delicious!" Zi Yan showed a satisfied smile.

"If you eat like this, the purple pills will soon disappear." Looking at Zi Yan who was about to help herself to more purple pills, Xiao Ming kindly reminded her from the side.

"This... then I'll save it for later." At these words, Zi Yan stopped moving and licked her mouth, looking at the jade bottle in her hand with some reluctance.

Putting the jade bottle away, Zi Yan patted Xiao Ming's shoulder in the old-fashioned way, "Well done, you really didn't lie to me, the pills you refined are very tasty, in the future if someone bullies you, come to me, I will help you, there is no one I dare not mess with in the Inner Academy."

'Of course it is delicious, this is a medicinal powder that I have carefully developed myself to improve the food, although it is not a medicinal recipe, it uses various medicinal herbs that can make the food delicious.' Xiao Ming was speechless.

Turning around, he looked at the broken medicinal cauldron.

Xiao Ming sighed again, thinking in his heart that he would go buy another medicinal cauldron in a couple of days, and stepped forward to clean up the mess.

......

After striking up a friendship with Zi Yan, Xiao Ming's daily life became monotonous and regular.

Every day, in addition to cultivating and studying the art of alchemy, he would go to the arena to train and gain the fire energy needed for cultivation.

From time to time, he would accept requests from other students asking him for help in refining some pills, etc.

It could be said that such a life was boring and tedious, and nothing was interesting, but such was cultivation, and one had to endure this life if one wanted to become stronger.

Luckily, Xiao Ming had already gotten used to this kind of life when he was in the outer academy.

There was nothing to feel uncomfortable about.

And if he wanted to be frank, life at the Inner Academy was actually much better than at the Outer Academy, it had no classes and the students had more time which they could distribute freely.

In the Inner Academy, the cultivation speed was also quite faster due to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Xiao Ming's cultivation speed had also increased quite a bit due to this, however, because his own realm is already much higher than in the past, the difficulty of cultivation has also started to increase, so even with the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, something as outrageous as breaking a realm in a few days will not happen.

In addition, because Xiao Ming chose to cultivate gradually, his strength only increased steadily.

Things like going out to train like before and increasing seven stars in a month did not happen again.

If Xiao Ming's cultivation could be said to be going smoothly, then in alchemy, Xiao Ming had reached a kind of bottleneck.

His master, Elder Huo, was only a fifth-tier alchemist, and even though his teaching ability was outstanding, after Xiao Ming's own knowledge of alchemy had improved, the help he can give Xiao Ming became less and less.

Until finally, Elder Huo could only laugh bitterly as he said that there was no more to teach him.

.....

In the blink of an eye, many years went by...
