168: Chapter 170 Spirit Breaking Pill

"Fellow Daoist Lin Kuang is right; this path is indeed unsuitable for me! Before, I was just trying to save Face and refused to admit my own weakness!"

"I kept fantasizing that there was still a possibility, but looking back, it was all a mistake!"

"This is the Pill Formula for the Spirit-Breaking Pill passed down in my Family. The Spirit-Breaking Pill is a Medicinal Pill that helps with the Breakthrough to the fourth realm. I see you've been stuck at the Peak of the third realm for a long time; perhaps it can help you!"

"Of course, this kind of major Realm advancement isn't a hundred percent guaranteed, but it's better than having no chance at all!"

Li Dou handed a scroll to Lin Kuang.

"Sister, this is the spatial ring Father left for us. It's time to give it to you. Work hard; you will definitely become an outstanding Cultivator!"

After Li Dou finished giving his instructions, he left with the doctor.

"Li Li, what do you plan to do next? Do you want to come with us to gain experience?" Yu Xiaotang extended an invitation to Li Li.

Li Li glanced at Lin Kuang and then smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Xiao Tang, but I probably can't this time."

"I plan to tidy up the pill pharmacy again. I'll only consider going out to gain experience after Brother comes out."

"After all, the pill pharmacy has been neglected for a long time, and my parents left me some tasks that should be considered their last wishes. I plan to complete those first!"

"Maybe the next time we meet, I'll be an outstanding Alchemist too! Hehehe!"

Li Li stated her goal in a joking tone.

"You will definitely become an outstanding Alchemist!" Lin Kuang stepped forward and affirmed Li Li's dream with a smile.

Although she was just starting now, one could never be sure about these things. What if she suddenly gained enlightenment and soared to the heavens?

"I'm certain your Alchemy skills can already surpass your brother's!" Lin Kuang concluded from the two times he had played with Li Li.

First of all, although her hands were inexperienced, she got the hang of it after only two tries.

Secondly, her concentration was very focused; she could still hear what he said even in that state.

Yu Xiaotang, on the other hand, had been brought into that semi-conscious state by him several times, not hearing a single word he said.

Finally, her endurance was also sufficient. Especially for something as tedious as Alchemy, patience and strength are very important.

"Since my little sister has such a dream, I'll teach you a trick or two as well!" Yu Xiaotang happily patted her chest as she stepped forward.

"Ah? Sister Xiao Tang knows Alchemy?" Li Li stared at Yu Xiaotang in confusion.

"Mm-hmm! I'm a Rank Two Alchemist!" Yu Xiaotang proudly took out her certification from the Alchemist Guild.

After seeing the badge, Li Li's eyes lit up. She tightly grasped Yu Xiaotang's hand and said, "With Sister's guidance, I'll definitely be able to avoid many detours!"

"It's nothing, we're sisters. Hurry and find something to take notes with!" Yu Xiaotang said, raising her head proudly.

"Then please grant me your teachings, Sister!" Li Li gave Yu Xiaotang a playful yet polite bow, then brought a pen and notebook, waiting respectfully to record the information.

Yu Xiaotang stood with her hands on her hips, gave Lin Kuang a happy glance, and then began to teach seriously: "First, in Alchemy, you must look at the quality of the medicinal ingredients!"

"For Medium Grade ingredients, the older they are, the better the effect. For Low Grade ingredients, the fresher, the better!"

"Because generally, Low Grade ingredients cannot become high-grade, so fresher is better. After all, some Low Grade ingredients are found everywhere and don't need to be specifically purchased!"

"Some Medicinal Pills have a pill fragrance before they condense. The richer the fragrance, the higher the probability of success!"

"Oh! And one more thing, you must use Protection Fluid! You must use Protection Fluid!" Yu Xiaotang shot a glare at Lin Kuang and emphasized.

"I once saw a fool who didn't use Protection Fluid. The pill was supposed to be matcha flavored, but he ended up refining it into... sigh... I can't even describe it!"

Lin Kuang scratched his head awkwardly. He hadn't expected Yu Xiaotang to still remember that incident: the time he didn't use Protection Fluid during his first Alchemy attempt, causing the pill to mutate and making him faint after eating it.

"Next, you can use these few Medicinal Pills to practice!" Yu Xiaotang first gave her several basic Pill Formulas.

"These pills are all very suitable for your attributes; refining them should be quite easy!"

"Okay!" Li Li nodded and accepted the formulas.

Seeing Li Li accept the formulas, Yu Xiaotang handed her two more scrolls: "These two formulas don't suit your attributes, but you can use them to practice your timing."

"The refinement of some pills requires specific timing! Just like these two formulas!"

Li Li made a mark on the latter two formulas and then put them away.

After Li Li finished putting them away, she suddenly looked up at Lin Kuang. Her breathing inexplicably quickened, causing her chest to rise and fall.

Suddenly, Li Li could no longer suppress her emotions and hugged Lin Kuang, saying between sobs, "Lin Kuang, you are truly my benefactor! I will definitely repay you properly next time!"

"I'm so happy to have had such a wonderful experience with you. You're great! Truly great!"

"Once I finish my parents' last wishes, I will definitely go find you! If the Xuanyuan Grand Tournament has already started by then, I'll definitely go see you first!"

Li Li's undulating soft flesh pressed tightly against Lin Kuang's chest, and the delicate breaths in his ear also made Lin Kuang recall that wonderful experience.

"I'll wait for you!" After saying that, Lin Kuang patted Li Li's bottom and said, "Yesterday's experience was truly wonderful!"

"If you like it, next time, I will give you that same wonderful feeling!"

Eh? What strange things are they saying? Yu Xiaotang felt odd listening to Li Li's words of gratitude.

Lin Kuang also knew that Li Li couldn't go with him to gain experience for the time being because of her parents' last wishes, so he could only wish her success.

...

Lin Kuang didn't claim his quest rewards first. Instead, he pulled Yu Xiaotang over and asked curiously, "What are the chances you can successfully refine this pill?"

Lin Kuang had long wanted to break through the barrier of the third realm to enter the fourth realm. After all, fighting even someone like Li Ming had been so taxing; if he hadn't received Xia Qianzhen's blessing midway, he might have lost.

"Forty percent! There's one herb in it that isn't found around here, and I don't know if there's a lower-tier substitute!" Yu Xiaotang said seriously while looking at the Pill Formula.

"However, we can find a knowledgeable Senior and see if they know of any lower-tier substitutes!"

"A Senior..." Lin Kuang hadn't met many Alchemists since entering the world of Qiongming.

He didn't even know who to ask!

"That's right! We can ask Master!" Yu Xiaotang suddenly had a brainwave. She looked at Lin Kuang with glowing eyes and silently took out her Sound Transmission Jade Slip, preparing to talk to her Master.

"Let me do it! I happen to have some things I want to ask Master!" Lin Kuang took Yu Xiaotang's hand and spoke slowly.

"Fine! You ask then. Also, don't keep staring at Master's chest, or you'll lower her favorability!" Yu Xiaotang was still warning Lin Kuang, though she actually wanted Lin Kuang to win her Master over.
