"Stop pretending. If it wasn't for the appearance of the Divine level Medicine Pill, how could this guy have levelled up so fast? Don't lie to me." The Great Elder's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I swear on the honor of the elders of the Heavenly Refining Sect Martial Palace, I have never fed Duan Chuchen Divine level Medicine Pill for cultivation. Some of them rely on him, and training is done step by step, just like you guys, if you want him to surpass me in the future, then you can only let him cultivate steadily. Giving him a Medicine Pill would only harm him, so why would I do such a stupid thing!" Elder Chi Lian said.

Hearing Elder Chi Lian's words, the Great Elder also believed that Chi Lian was not a foolish person. It was impossible for him to let Duan Chuchen eat Divine level Medicine Pill in order to quickly level up.

"Ai, alright, it seems like Godly Soul Sword Martial Cultivator can't be underestimated. Brat, you have been learning alchemy with me for the past half year. If you can't become a peak beginner alchemist, don't ever mention knowing me." The Great Elder could only helplessly admit it. He had no choice but to spur Duan Chuchen on. He wasn't willing to give up such a good disciple to Elder Chi Lian.

The Second Elder, who had been silent all this while, also interjected, "And you, kid. If you can't become a peak beginner apothecary, I won't acknowledge you either!"

Duan Chuchen smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that the First Elder and Second Elder, who were already a few hundred years old, would have such a childish nature.

"Elders, please be at ease. With the two of you teaching me, I am convinced. I am not willing to be negligent in the slightest. I will definitely focus on my studies and will not relax even a little."

After hearing Duan Chuchen's guarantee, the Great Elder and the Second Elder revealed a hint of joy, "Not bad, not bad. The child can be taught. He won't be someone I like."

Elder Chi Lian laughed out loud: "Do you think that being able to fight Middle Period of the Heavenly Martial Stage with your transcendent strength is a joke? If you want him to achieve better results, you have to see me first! " Elder Chi Lian was filled with hunger and confidence. If Duan Chuchen became a peak beginner apothecary, perhaps refiner still had a slight chance of matching up to the achievements in cultivation.

If even peak beginner apothecaries were unable to reach that level, it would mean that Duan Chuchen's apothecary talent in refining pills and equipment wasn't as great as his talent in cultivation.

But in terms of alchemy and refining, it was extremely difficult for one to reach the level of a peak-level alchemist in half a year. Even the Hundred alchemy Sect barely managed to achieve such a feat back then, and such an achievement would never appear within the entire Heavenly Refining Sect.

"Scram! You otherworldly brat, hurry up and come with me. I will start teaching you how to forge pills right now!" The Great Elder was so anxious that he grabbed Duan Chuchen.

Not long later, he brought Duan Chuchen to his cabin. Outside of the cabin, Elder Chi Lian laughed and said, "You two teach me well, so I'll be leaving first. See you in a year!"

At this moment, the Great Elder asked, "Little brat, tell me, have you long controlled the spirit fire?" When those words were said, Duan Chuchen's eyes instantly revealed a hint of surprise.

"Yeah, Grand Elder, how did you know?" Duan Chuchen asked curiously. The Great Elder laughed, "If I don't know anything, then I wouldn't be worthy of being called a grandmaster alchemist."

There are some people who are born to be suitable for alchemy, and will awaken the Spirit Fire in various opportunities, even if you don't go and cultivate, you will still be able to come out, and you are one of them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to control the Spirit Flame so simply. The Great Elder explained for a moment before asking.

"Fire control, and also a formation, right?" The Head Elder nodded and said, "That's right, there is a fire controlling formation, and it also needs a cauldron. The higher the grade of the cauldron, the better the effect of the pill is, and it can also increase the success rate of the pill refining, so these three things are all essential." The Great Elder explained.

"Right now, I'll teach you formations first. Formations not only can kill enemies, they can also defend. Concurrently refining pills and forging weapons are essential."

At the same time, formations are also divided into levels, and are similarly divided into Human, Profound, Earth, Heaven, and God levels. If you want to refine a Human Level Medicine Pill, then you need to draw a Human Level formation, and if you need to draw a Profound Level formation, then you need to increase the effects of the Medicine Pill.

"Now, I will call you here to inscribe the Scarlet Flame Array. The Scarlet Flame Array is an elementary grade Mortal Realm Array. You can try inscribing it."

After saying that, the Great Elder started to instruct Duan Chuchen on how to draw the array. A stream of spirit energy appeared in the Great Elder's hand, and he began to draw on the ground, releasing a strong and continuous spirit energy. Gradually, the Great Elder's fingers started to move, and soon, a seemingly simple and complicated array formation appeared.

The Great Elder channeled a stream of spirit power into the Formation Aperture. "Crash!" Suddenly, a flame appeared in the magic array. Duan Chuchen was amazed to see that this flame was so strong that even an ordinary martial artist would have been killed by it. Suddenly, Duan Chuchen became interested in formations. Back then, Duan Chuchen had also studied arrays from the "Divine Refining Arcane Technique".

Even he himself could only see a portion or two of the simplest formations. Duan Chuchen had an idea in his heart, that the strongest formation within the Divine Refining Arcane Technique, even if it was the simplest one, would at least be a Heaven grade formation, and the one drawn by the Great Elder was only a Human grade beginner formation.

"Remember my technique!" The Great Elder drew another Dao. Soon, a new Crimson Fire Array appeared. Do you remember? " The Great Elder asked.

"I'll remember it!" Duan Chuchen said. The Great Elder's eyes revealed a hint of praise, "You're really smart. I already remembered it after I drew it twice. Come, take a look at it yourself."

Duan Chuchen nodded. Suddenly, a stream of spiritual energy appeared on his arm and wrapped around Duan Chuchen's hand. Then, Duan Chuchen started to draw.

Duan Chuchen had only realized how difficult it was to inscribe a formation when he started drawing. Duan Chuchen had used almost ten times the amount of time that the Great Elder had used to successfully inscribe a formation.

Looking at the drawn array, a trace of helplessness appeared in Duan Chuchen's eyes. The drawing that he drew looked like he was missing a trace of vividness and grandeur compared to the one drawn by the Great Elder.

However, it did not last long before it dimmed down. Duan Chuchen did not believe that once again, he would be able to inject the Spiritual Energy into the Crimson Fire Array. However, he failed again and a hint of disappointment appeared in Duan Chuchen's eyes as he said lightly: "Did you fail?"

The Great Elder revealed a smile. "Don't be discouraged. The inscription of formations requires patience. Only patience can succeed. One must try once to calm one's emotions."

Duan Chuchen nodded. Knowing that he had to maintain a calm mood when drawing the array, Duan Chuchen took a deep breath and maintained his calmness.

"Shua!" A stream of spiritual energy gathered on Duan Chuchen's hand. Duan Chuchen instantly started to draw. This time, Duan Chuchen's eyes were filled with excitement and the drawing went much smoother.

Not long after, Duan Chuchen drew out a Crimson Fire Array. It was completed half the time from the previous Crimson Fire Array. Duan Chuchen was extremely nervous, he didn't want to know that he failed again.

A stream of spiritual power was poured into the Crimson Fire Array. Not long after, the array began to emit rays of light. Suddenly, a few small flames appeared within the array.

Although the flame did not look as hot and powerful as the one inscribed by the Great Elder, it showed that Duan Chuchen had succeeded this time. Duan Chuchen laughed, "That's great, I succeeded! It seems quite simple. " At this moment, the Great Elder was dumbstruck. He had actually managed to draw out a Crimson Fire Array in two tries.

The Great Elder immediately felt a surge of anger. "Looks like it's quite simple." When he successfully drew out the Crimson Fire Array, he took three days to do so. However, the current Duan Chuchen only needed an hour to do it, so the Great Elder was furious.

"Stinking brat!" You're already proud of such a small achievement? Do you think pill refining is such a simple task? Do you think that you can forge it just because you know how to use formations? "First, I'll familiarize myself with array formations, and then I'll say that the drawing of a Crimson Fire Array is so crappy, and can't even reach a fifth of my strength. You have to at least do half of my work before you can concoct pills." The Great Elder shouted.

Duan Chuchen was instantly shocked. He didn't expect the old man, who seemed so amiable, to be like this now. Duan Chuchen said with a wronged look: "I know, Great Elder. I won't dare to be complacent anymore. I will focus on my studies." Seeing Duan Chuchen's Bai Qing, the Great Elder was secretly pleased in his heart: "You brat, you're so cocky!"

Three days later, Duan Chuchen was able to draw out a Crimson Fire Array. Even the Great Elder was surprised by Duan Chuchen's progress.

The person who taught Duan Chuchen how to inscribe the formation technique was not the Head Elder but the Second Elder. Duan Chuchen's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "Second Elder, why is it you, the Head Elder?"

"Today, I will be teaching you. There is something in common between refining pills and forging weapons, and I will not take advantage of him. The two of us will take turns to teach you and see your accomplishments one year from now." The Second Elder said.
