C406 Dao of alchemy foundation

"Chen Yu?!"

Chen Yu turned his head to look, and the person who had spoke was the young master of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, Yun Chang.

At this moment, she was following behind a beautiful woman as they walked towards the path to the pill room.

"Peak Master Xu!"

When the beautiful woman saw Xu Chuan, she immediately smiled and greeted him.

"Apothecary Yun, is this the niece you spoke of!?" Xu Chuan asked with a smile.

"That's right, this is my niece, Yun Chang." With that, the beautiful woman introduced Yun Chang to Xu Chuan.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yu found out that this beautiful woman was called Yun Mengyao, Yun Chang's aunt, and her ability to refine pills was also very outstanding.

After chatting for a while, Yun Meng Yao's gaze landed on Chen Yu and asked curiously.

"Peak Master Xu, this young man is …?"

"Oh, he's Chen Yu. He has good talent for alchemy, so I'm preparing to teach him some basic knowledge on alchemy …" Xu Chuan said with a smile.

Chen Yu has a good Inherent Skill in Alchemy?

Hearing that, Yun Chang could not help but be startled, her eyes full of shock.

If Xu Chuan said that he had a decent talent in the Martial Dao, she would believe him. However, if Chen Yu still had a decent talent in the Dao of alchemy, she did not believe him.

You know, it's hard to stand out in every way.

If one aspect of his talent was outstanding, he would put most of his energy into it. This would lead to him becoming mediocre without time to cultivate even if he was outstanding in other aspects.

It was very obvious that Chen Yu's talent in the Martial Dao was very outstanding. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ranked first in the Greencloud Trial.

Yun Chang also had some understanding of Chen Yu, and before this, Chen Yu had definitely never accepted the way of pill refinement.

As a result, Yun Chang found it hard to believe what Xu Chuan said about Chen Yu's judgement on the dao of pills.

The one also feeling shocked was Yun Mengyao.

She was very clear about Xu Chuan's perspective.

Someone who could be praised well by Xu Chuan would even be envied by the pill refiners of Danding Peak for a whole year!

And now, Xu Chuan had actually personally said that Chen Yu's pill refining talent was not bad, causing Yun Meng Yao's face to reveal a shocked expression.

In fact, she couldn't help but look at Chen Yu, and started to size him up with a completely new gaze.

But, no matter how Yun Mengyao looked at it, she could not see anything special about Chen Yu.

At Chen Yu's age, it was already very late to start learning alchemy.

Every single alchemist had started to learn the art of alchemy since they were young.

One had to know that the art of pill forging was extremely complex. If one wanted to master it, it would require a large amount of time.

It could be said that no outstanding apothecary would only learn the art of pill forging after he was ten years old.

But in front of him, Chen Yu was at least fifteen or sixteen years old, right? It was too late for him to be learning the art of pill refinement right now …

This was the first time that Yun Mengyao had some doubts regarding Xu Chuan's judgement.

However, she couldn't help but misjudge, so Yun Mengyao tried to probe further, "Junior Apprentice Nephew Chen Yu, have you learned the way of pill refining before?"

"Never." Chen Yu said calmly.

Never learned it before!?

When Yun Mengyao heard this, she lightly shook her head.

This time, Elder Xu must have made a mistake.

A youth without a foundation in the dao of alchemy would find it difficult to achieve any results no matter how much of a genius he was, starting to come into contact with alchemy at the age of fifteen.

Following that, Yun Meng Yao looked at Yun Chang and couldn't help but feel that it was unfair.

Yun Chang had learnt alchemy knowledge since she was young, and had displayed extraordinary talent.

In her opinion, with Yun Chang's talent, if she could become a disciple of an even more outstanding alchemist, then she would definitely achieve an extremely high achievement.

Thinking of this, Yun Mengyao's eyes lit up, and she could not help but call Xu Chuan:

"Peak Master Xu, since you're going to teach Chen Yu the basics of refining pills, can Yun Chang also listen by the side?!"

Yun Meng Yao's idea was very simple, she wanted Yun Chang and Chen Yu to study in front of Xu Chuan for a while.

With Yun Chang's talent, coupled with her own training in the art of pills, if she performed well, she would definitely be able to defeat Chen Yu.

At that time, maybe Xu Chuan would even take Yun Chang as his disciple when he finds out that Yun Chang's talent in alchemy was even better.

And when Xu Chuan heard Yun Mengyao's suggestion, he had also guessed what she was thinking about.

However, he didn't object.

Because the news of Chen Yu passing through the Void God Hall had already been sealed by the two elders, Bai and Wu, Xu Chuan had some doubts regarding Chen Yu's Inherent Skill.

He felt that he could make use of this opportunity and let Chen Yu and Yun Chang make a comparison.

This allowed him to gain a very intuitive understanding of Chen Yu's talent.

If Chen Yu's performance was far inferior to Yun Chang's during these few days of learning, it could only mean that Chen Yu's talent in the Dao of alchemy was average.

If Chen Yu was able to perform as equally as Yun Chang, then it meant that his talent was not bad!

Therefore, Xu Chuan slightly nodded his head and said: "That's fine too, it just so happens that the things that I've taught you these past few days are extremely boring. If the two of them were to learn together, they could also be partners!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Chuan walked towards the Pellet Hall with Yun Chang, whose eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.

After arriving at the Alchemy Hall, Xu Chuan directly passed through the great hall and brought the three of them to a study room.

There were bookshelves everywhere.

Countless books on the Dao of alchemy were placed densely on the bookshelf.

Slowly walking to the extreme right bookshelf, Xu Chuan casually picked up a few books and placed them in Chen Yu's hands:

"Chen Yu, < Fire Control Technique >, < Alchemy Fire Details >, < Origin of Pills >, < Introduction to Alchemy >, these are the basic books on the way of alchemy. First, use a few days to familiarize yourself with them. It would be great if he could comprehend one or two things. "Also …"

Xu Chuan took out a few more books, handed them over to Chen Yu and said:

"After you finish reading the《 Fire Controlling Technique》,《 Fire of Alchemy》,《 Origin of Alchemy》,《 Initiation of alchemy》, you still need to grasp some pharmacological knowledge. The《 Myriad Sketches》,《 Identification of Hundred Flowers》,《 Thousand Worms Atlas》, these are the foundation of the basics. You also need to memorize them all!"1

Weighing the books in Xu Chuan's hands, he felt that they were about several kilograms and Chen Yu was not only slightly sweating.

This Xu Chuan was just too ruthless.

He had just started learning, and he already had such a heavy task assigned to him?

Alright, it seems that he will have to spend the next three days in the Alchemy Hall …

To the side, when Yun Meng Yao and Yun Chang saw this scene, they also felt their scalps go numb!

One had to know that the few books that Xu Chuan had found were not as ordinary as he said.

The two books, < Fire Control Technique > and < Origin of Pills >, were something that even a pill refiner like Yun Meng Yao found difficult to understand, let alone a youth who had never learnt pill refining before!

Furthermore, he had not even memorized the [Ten Thousand Sketches], [Identification of a Hundred Flowers], and the [Thousand Worms Technique] by Yun Meng Yao, the pill refiner. Not only that, but he had made Chen Yu memorize all of the materials, it was making things difficult for him …
