Chapter 440: I've Learned, I've Learned
Chapter 440: I've Learned, I've Learned
Lu Chen followed Guan Yun into an elegant room. Inside, five cultivators of considerable skill were seated; the weakest among them was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"Sister Guan, you're here," one of them said.
"Who is this person with you? I don't believe we've met," asked a silver-haired elderly woman, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.
"This is Brother Lu Chen, the genius spirit herbologist we've been hearing about. He has an incredible talent for spirit plants," Guan Yun introduced Lu Chen to the group. "Recently, he helped the Elixir Hall cultivate a batch of Purple Origin Grass and Five Element Fruits, all of which grew successfully. Many of the spirit plants were of exceptional quality."
"Greetings, seniors," Lu Chen bowed respectfully. In his eyes, these cultivators were like tender green onions, ready for him to harvest.
"So, you're Brother Lu Chen. We've heard a lot about you," one of them said with a smile. "If we ever need your help with cultivating spirit plants, I hope you won't refuse us."
"Of course not!" Lu Chen replied eagerly. "Whenever you need me, I'll do my best to help cultivate the spirit plants."
"Brother Lu Chen, as a spirit herbologist, what brings you to our Dan Dian's exchange meeting?" asked a middle-aged man with a red face and a bald, eyebrowless head.
"Brother Lu Chen has joined the Dan Dian and has learned several pill formulas," Guan Yun explained with a smile. "He has shown exceptional talent, so I took the liberty of bringing him here to learn from all of you."
"I see!"
"Hahaha, Brother Lu, while you may be an expert in spirit plants, you still have a long way to go when it comes to pill refining," the eyebrowless man laughed heartily.
"Please guide me, seniors," Lu Chen said humbly, stepping back into a corner of the room. He lowered his eyes and assumed a patient, attentive posture, as if to ensure he wouldn't disturb the discussion.
The group shared a light laugh, not taking this newcomer to pill refining seriously. They began their discussion, ignoring Lu Chen.
"Recently, I've had a new insight into fire control," the eyebrowless man with the red face said. As he spoke, the redness of his face intensified, and he exhaled a wisp of crimson flame that transformed into various shapes in the air. He continued to explain his insights while manipulating the unusual fire.
Soon, the group became engaged in a heated debate.
Lu Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. The fire control technique displayed by the red-faced, eyebrowless man was inferior to his own. After obtaining the 'Flame Manipulation Technique' from the sphere of light, and absorbing the technique experience packages, Lu Chen had reached a profound level of understanding. He could manipulate flames effortlessly, shaping them into infinite forms.
As for improving pill condensation rates with fire control...
With his naturally advantageous Tianqing Dan Fire, he didn't need to bother with such minor tricks.
Lu Chen had abundant resources and a plethora of techniques at his disposal, allowing him to effortlessly manipulate the pill furnace.
Compared to him, these so-called pill masters lacked both resources and skills.
One by one, the pill masters shared their insights and techniques, each time benefiting Lu Chen greatly, especially when they discussed the handling of various pills and refining instructions.
"I've recently had a breakthrough in my cultivation of the Second-Rank Spirit Infusion Pill, reaching the Great Perfection realm. Fellow disciples, I'd like to share my insights with you," a silver-haired elderly woman said, her voice filled with pride.
"Great Perfection realm? Sister's skill in pill cultivation has truly become terrifying!" one of the cultivators exclaimed.
"Indeed," another cultivator agreed. "Even for a Second-Rank pill like the Spirit Infusion Pill, achieving the Great Perfection realm is akin to ascending to the heavens. It's incredibly difficult."
The group murmured in agreement, impressed by the silver-haired elder's accomplishments. They were all talented pill cultivators themselves, able to easily achieve mastery in lower-rank pills, but progressing further required a significant investment of time and energy. Achieving the Great Perfection realm, in particular, demanded great opportunity and insight.
Lu Chen, too, was intrigued, focusing his attention intently on the silver-haired elder, waiting to hear her insights.
"During one of my recent refining attempts, I discovered something unique..." the silver-haired elder began, clearly pleased to have the group's undivided attention. She went on to explain her serendipitous discovery, her voice filled with enthusiasm.
The cultivators listened intently, each pondering how they could apply the elder's insights to their own cultivation.
However, Lu Chen found his attention wandering. The elder's words, though impressive, held little value for him. With his own mastery of the Spirit Infusion Pill at the Grand Master realm, he could identify a few similarities in their techniques.
"Am I the pill cultivation master?" Lu Chen thought with a hint of pride.
Sitting quietly in the corner, Lu Chen still managed to catch the silver-haired elder's gaze.
"Brother Lu, the pill cultivation insights I just shared may be a bit advanced for a novice pill cultivator like yourself," she said, a hint of condescension in her voice. "When you reach that level, you'll naturally understand what I spoke of today. For now, focus on strengthening your foundation. Once your pill cultivation skills improve, then you can consider incorporating more advanced techniques."
"Has Brother Lu understood what I explained?" the silver-haired elder asked, a challenge in her eyes.
Being able to refine a Second-Rank pill to the level of Great Perfection was a rare feat, even within the Dan Dian.
"Thank you, Sister, for your guidance. I've learned, I've learned," Lu Chen replied, bowing respectfully and emphasizing his words.
Despite the elder's subtle boast, he saw no reason to contradict her. Her performance, in his opinion, was nothing out of the ordinary. She hadn't infringed upon his interests or caused him any embarrassment, so he chose to let it slide.
To point out her shortcomings might bring him acclaim, but it would also risk offending a late Foundation Establishment cultivator like her. Moreover, it would expose his true pill cultivation skills, and if the Dan Dian learned that someone had achieved a Grand Master realm in pill refinement for a particular pill in such a short time, there would be no end to the trouble that could bring.
His talent for pill cultivation was beyond genius, beyond monstrous.
Lu Chen was cautious by nature, preferring to keep a low profile. He had always relied on his own abilities to cultivate spirit plants, harvest spheres of light, and gradually strengthen his power. He had no desire to court attention or make enemies.
A few words of agreement would be enough to get by, and if he played his cards right, he might even earn some rare spirit plant seeds from the silver-haired elder!
