"Hmm! It's finished!" Bright True Master replied.

Having received a response, Lin Yifan hurriedly bowed, "Disciple Lin Yifan pays respect to Master! Please teach the disciple Alchemy quickly."

"Hehe! You are the only disciple who dares to speak to me like that," Bright True Master chuckled.

If it were someone else, he would have been furious.

"Hehe, the disciple is straightforward, please don't take it amiss, Master," Lin Yifan said with a silly, apologetic smile.

He felt he had been a bit impolite just now, but he really wanted to receive the true teachings of Alchemy from Bright True Master; thus, he blurted it out without thinking too much.

"If you want to learn my Alchemy, follow me to the Alchemy Room," said Bright True Master, and then he moved away from the hall.

Lin Yifan quickly followed, but he found that no matter how fast he ran, he could not keep up with Bright True Master's unhurried pace.

"Incredible, how advanced his skill must be to do this!" Lin Yifan exclaimed, then continued to follow closely.

Xiaofang stayed in the main building; she did not follow because the Master's teachings did not allow eavesdropping.

Soon, Bright True Master reached the Alchemy Room; meanwhile, Lin Yifan was still running behind, panting heavily.

"Master! Wait for me! Master! Wait for me!"

He kept shouting from behind, but Bright True Master did not pay him any heed.

After a while, he finally arrived at the Alchemy Room; then, he leaned on his knees, gasping for air for a long time before he could ask, "Master! What Martial Arts is this? How can you walk faster than I can run?"

"This is the Qinggong I learned—'Peerless Under Heaven,'" Bright True Master replied.

"'Peerless Under Heaven'? Just the name sounds so dominant, I wonder if Master would teach it to his disciple?" Lin Yifan inquired tentatively.

Such incredible Martial Arts, he really wanted to learn it so that he would no longer need help from others.

"I will! I will impart all my lifelong learning to you, so don't be anxious," Bright True Master replied.

"All your lifelong learning! Master, are you sure you want to teach me everything?" Lin Yifan asked incredulously, it seemed the old man really treated him as his successor.

"I'm teaching you my most precious Alchemy, what else could I hold back?" Bright True Master counter-asked.

"Right! Right! Then the disciple should thank Master here first," Lin Yifan sincerely bowed.

At this moment, the more he thought about it, the happier and more excited he became. The lifelong learning of Bright True Master, the most badass Martial Arts in all of the Cultivation World, tsk tsk, truly badass to the extreme! When the time comes, who would dare provoke me, I will annihilate them with a single finger.

"Sit down, regulate your breathing, I am about to start teaching," Bright True Master urged.

Lin Yifan quickly sat down, then kept breathing deeply, calming his emotions, allowing himself to quickly become tranquil.

Soon after, Bright True Master began to impart the art of Alchemy, "Remember! I will only explain Alchemy once. If you cannot remember it, you will have to figure it out on your own."

"Understood!" Lin Yifan nodded in response, then became serious.

"The secret of Alchemy boils down to three words—speed, accuracy, ruthlessness!"

"Speed refers to being swift, such as the rate at which you add the medicinal herbs, the speed of temperature changes, and the quickness of your mental reactions, and so on. In short, everything must be fast."

"Accuracy means precision, whether it's the selection of medicinal herbs, the quantity used, the timing of their addition, or the control of the temperature—all must be exact without the slightest error."

"Ruthlessness is about being decisive. During Alchemy, if unexpected situations arise, you must resolve them decisively. You cannot hesitate or procrastinate, lest the elixir is ruined, all your previous efforts wasted, or worse, you harm yourself and jeopardize your life."

"How can you achieve speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness in Alchemy? That depends on your accumulation, your understanding of different elements, and your thoughts, among other things."

"An excellent Alchemist, besides having extremely high talent, also needs to have a deep accumulation of experience."

"Alchemy is actually a process of constant exploration and continual innovation. Only by continuously accumulating experience can you ride the waves and refine high-grade, super-high-grade, and the legendary Immortal Pills."

"Just like yesterday when you were able to perfectly refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill without knowing which medicinal herbs were involved. If you had not accumulated prior knowledge about the effects of various medicinal herbs and the temperatures required for their refinement, you would not have been able to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pills."

"Once you have this accumulation, the next step is innovation. An Alchemist who does not innovate is not a good Alchemist. You must meet the demands of various Cultivators to get their support and stand proudly in the unceasingly contentious Cultivation World."

"Innovation, though it sounds simple, is difficult to execute. For instance, there may be a straightforward path to the endpoint, yet you choose to forge a new path to reach the same destination. In this case, you must constantly think, explore, and delve into this new path until you reach the end. This process is certainly extremely challenging; thus, to avoid detours, I will still give you some pointers."

"Innovation in pills must not stray from the essence of the medicinal herbs; without them, there are no pills. Moreover, continuously expanding the range of medicinal herbs is also a crucial part of innovation. Only by continuously discovering new medicinal herbs can you continually create new pills."

"One reminder: medicinal herbs are not just plant herbs; they might be ores, Spirit Stones, Cultivation Powers, Spiritual Energy, and even time, among others. As long as you dare to imagine boldly and experiment bravely, you can create new pills more effectively and swiftly."

"Back to the main point, the speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness in Alchemy, based on your familiarity with each herb's purpose, let me share the experiences I have accumulated over the years: In Alchemy, address what is high first and what is low last; what is abundant first and what is scarce last; dignity in what is rare, and ease in what is cheap. Do not boil ores, do not dissolve herbs; minimize catalysts, replace if possible..."

Bright True Master continued to preach nonstop, expounding on the Profound Mysteries of Alchemy, reminding Lin Yifan not to err.

Lin Yifan memorized every word, every phrase, every character spoken by Bright True Master, constantly reflecting on them, constantly gaining insights, cherishing each word like gold.

Thus, the two, one teaching and the other learning, passed this unforgettable time.

Having grasped the true essence of Alchemy, Lin Yifan began to refine pills alone.

He aimed to fully grasp the Art of Alchemy he had learned today, striving to achieve the "speed, accuracy, ruthlessness," as mentioned by Bright True Master.

Therefore, he continuously gathered medicinal herbs for refinement, learning from failures, gaining insights during the refinement process, and refining during those insights.

As days passed, through falling and rising again and again after each failure and learning from them, he gradually grasped the Profound Mysteries of Alchemy.
