51. Instructor Yu Xuan with Explosive Wife Power
“The way of alchemy is about cultivating techniques. The so-called techniques refer to hand methods and seal gestures.”
“Alchemical hand techniques include hand seal changes, mystic power circulation, and spiritual power assistance. They are the foundation for alchemists. Using alchemical hand techniques to refine items, whether medicinal pills or tools, makes the process faster and better. Some profound techniques even have the effect of empowerment, which can improve the quality of the finished product.”
“Your master will now teach you the first hand technique. Watch carefully, Zhen’er.”
On the altar, Chen Xi demonstrated the alchemical hand technique for Yan Zhen. Three seal gestures were struck into the pill furnace. The flames in the furnace melted the essence of the medicinal ingredients into a paste and then rolled into a pill shape, forming the pill body.
The pill rolled a few times in the furnace flames and completely solidified. Chen Xi collected it in one go and put it into a small bottle, handing it to Yan Zhen.
There were a total of five pills, each with the highest quality, like a beautiful jade.
Yan Zhen poured out a pill into his palm and stared at it intently, his expression full of admiration.
The first-grade Wound-Healing Pill that would take him nearly an hour to refine was easily done by the beautiful sect master in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, and they were all of the highest quality.
This was the power of a saint-level alchemist? Too strong! And it felt so cool.
“It’s your turn, Zhen’er. Start practicing.” Chen Xi said indifferently, “Your master believes that with your talent, you can use these three seal gestures within today, but to use them skillfully in pill refinement, you need to practice more.”
“Sect Master, I will work hard!”
Yan Zhen was full of motivation. He recalled the beautiful sect master’s hand technique just now and tried to replicate it.
[Ding! System’s warm reminder: Seal gesture practice can be skipped. Does the host choose to skip?]
“Oh, this…”
Yan Zhen’s motivation suddenly disappeared. He weakly chose to skip.
His vision became blurry as if a mosaic had been applied. A strong feeling of fatigue surged within his body, and the experience of practicing the three hand technique seal gestures appeared in his mind, making him feel that he had become more proficient in refining first-grade pills.
Yan Zhen swayed his body and then fell backward, landing in a soft and fragrant embrace.
“Let’s stop here for today. You did well, Zhen’er. You’ve made very obvious progress.”
“Sect Master, I…”
— I chose to skip everything. Do I still deserve Sect Master’s praise?
[Ding! System’s warm reminder: The system’s skip function is actually a “super fast forward” that accelerates the flow of time. The trigger condition is non-interactive acting, that is, the host’s solo performance. Once there is interaction with key characters, the super fast forward will stop.]
— I know, but it feels like I haven’t worked hard at all.
[Because the host’s consciousness can’t keep up with the accelerated time, the body has worked hard, but the consciousness doesn’t know.]
— Oh, I see.
[As long as the host’s divine soul cultivation reaches the Secluded Realm, you can keep up with the physical sensation of time acceleration.]
— Secluded Realm, huh? Hidden, Manifest, Secluded, True, Profound. I’m still far from it.
[Host skr~]
“Zhen’er, open your mouth.”
Yan Zhen habitually listened to the beautiful sect master’s words and tried to open his mouth. He felt a pill being placed inside.
He chewed it and swallowed it. Instantly, the feeling of hunger in his body disappeared, and his limbs gradually recovered some strength.
Was this a ration pill or a fasting pill?
“Go to sleep after you’re full. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
Yan Zhen fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, he was already on the bed in his room. The sky outside the window was slightly bright, and the cool morning breeze blew in with a hint of coolness.
Yan Zhen remembered his agreement with Instructor Yu Xuan to accept her daily inspection on time every morning. After brushing his teeth and washing up, he went to the dining room.
There was no one in the dining room, but the kitchen door was open, letting out light.
Yan Zhen walked to the kitchen door and found Instructor Yu Xuan making pan-fried buns. The pan was emitting an enticing aroma.
But Yan Zhen’s gaze was firmly locked on Instructor Yu Xuan.
The loose instructor’s robe couldn’t conceal her mature curves. Her ample breasts were perky, her jade buttocks were voluptuous, and a beige apron was tied around her waist. The two straps were tied into a cute butterfly knot on her back, a bit tight and squeezing the flesh. Her glossy black hair with blue undertones wasn’t tied into the usual princess braid but was in a standard housewife hairstyle.
Plus the spatula in her hand…
Her wife power was almost off the charts.
Yan Zhen almost called out “wife” but fortunately stopped his mouth in time and changed it to “Instructor.”
Instructor Yu Xuan seemed to have long sensed his presence but still lowered her head and focused on frying the buns.
“Breakfast will be ready soon. Sit for a while first, Yan Zhen.”
“Let me help you, Instructor.”
Yan Zhen remembered that he had been living here for nearly half a month, and they had been cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning the whole time, while he didn’t do anything himself.
“The ancients said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Do you want to do a woman’s work?”
“I’m not an adult yet, so it’s okay if I’m not a gentleman.”
Although the Gallo Kingdom stipulated that a man was considered an adult at the age of sixteen, he hadn’t had his birthday yet.
Yan Zhen came to Instructor Yu Xuan’s side, and the latter finally raised her head, her beautiful face wearing an expression of holding back a smile.
“Smooth talker, but there’s indeed nothing that needs your help.”
“Then I’ll tidy up the things here.”
Yan Zhen washed the cutting board, basin, rolling pin, and other kitchen utensils and put them away in the cupboard.
Seeing him busy back and forth, Instructor Yu Xuan couldn’t help but think of newlyweds, sharing a bed, and being affectionate with each other. Her heart rippled with waves, and she almost burnt the buns.
After Yan Zhen finished, Instructor Yu Xuan also took the pan-fried buns out of the pan and put them on a plate. Each person carried a tray and returned to the dining room, just in time to see Yan Meng’er, Yan Ruyu, and Mi Xue’er walking over, covering their mouths and yawning continuously.
“Good morning, three little lazy pigs. It’s time to eat.”
Hearing Yan Zhen’s voice, the three girls were stunned for a moment, then quickly hid their hands behind their backs.
“Cousin, you’re really early today.”
“I went to bed early yesterday, so I woke up early. Instructor Yu Xuan is even earlier. Why do you all look so listless?”
“Uh.”
Instructor Yu Xuan took out a bottle of oolong tea from the refrigerator and put it on the table, continuing the conversation, “You were cultivating, right? Your aura is very abundant. The instructor is very gratified to see such hardworking disciples~”
These words made the three girls a bit embarrassed. They were stimulated by Yan Zhen.
He had reached six stars without them noticing. If they didn’t work harder, they would be left far behind by him.
Yan Meng’er and Mi Xue’er were both reincarnators, possessing the vision and experience of Mystic King powerhouses from their previous lives. If they cultivated seriously, they could definitely catch up to Yan Zhen.
Although Yan Ruyu hadn’t awakened her memories from her previous life, she had been dreaming more and more frequently about scenes similar to her previous life recently. It was as if she had already experienced cultivation once before and was very handy at it.
“Oh my, not bad.”
Yan Zhen ate the steaming hot pan-fried buns while glancing at them sideways. As a six-star Mystic Disciple, he was now the one with the highest cultivation among the four disciples, feeling like he had become a “senior.”
Yan Ruyu couldn’t stand his teasing gaze and snorted, “What are you so proud of? It’s just six stars. I’ll also advance very soon.”
Mi Xue’er also echoed, “That’s right, that’s right. I’ll also advance very soon. Just you wait, little brother Yan Zhen!”
Yan Zhen’s eyes were subtle. “I won’t say anything about Cousin Ruyu, but Senior Sister Xue’er, aren’t you only four stars?”
“No way. I’ve hidden a star.”
Mi Xue’er proudly revealed her aura as a five-star Mystic Disciple, even a few points stronger than Yan Ruyu.
“…”
— You’re really good at hiding.
