Chapter 112 My Good Disciple
Li Xiuchang still attaches great importance to Su Qingchun. After all, this is a ghost that even Zhang Wanzhi and Motu have praised for its potential.
After successfully subduing Su Qingchun, Li Xiuchang also remembered Brother Motu's previous suggestion to let him find more books of sages for Su Qingchun to read.
Confucian classics, books of sages, Li Xiuchang knew that his master Zhao Yuansi must have a lot of them.
However, when he thought of Zhao Yuansi, this master, Li Xiuchang had a headache and was a little afraid to see him.
He still had a few months to enter the third year of his entry, but he had not yet entered the alchemy.
"Let's wait until I enter the alchemy before going to see the master."
Li Xiuchang secretly made up his mind that he must pass the assessment of the first-level alchemist this time!
He will go out to perform tasks in two months, so he will use these last two months to sprint!
Li Xiuchang asked Su Qingchun to practice in the Heaven-level Spiritual Vein Room with the Paw Patrol, while he practiced the alchemy on the side.
For more than a month, Li Xiuchang spent all his time studying the alchemy except for a pot of Beast King Bone Soup every day.
He even went to the preaching list and unlocked several alchemy preaching posts posted by the big guy "Fairy, I will help you practice".
It can be said that he benefited a lot. Li Xiuchang found that reading any post of this big guy was better than listening to his master's alchemy class.
Li Xiuchang's alchemy level was close to the entry level before, and he could refine a lot of first-level pills. Under such high-intensity cramming, he finally reached the level of a first-level alchemist.
Then he couldn't wait to sign up for the first-level alchemist assessment.
As a popular immortal cultivation skill, alchemy will hold an assessment every now and then. Li Xiuchang waited for the assessment opportunity in less than two days.
In the end, he passed the level steadily and got the certificate of the first-level alchemist.
At the same time, the Youhan grass he planted in the yard finally bloomed again.
This time, he left half of the Youhan flowers unpicked, just like last time, and prepared to wait for the fruits to collect the seeds.
Li Xiuchang had just picked the Youhan flowers when he received a message from Senior Sister Yan Xue, asking about his progress in cultivation.
Because in half a month, Li Xiuchang will go out to perform a mission. If he has no hope of building a foundation within half a month, he must immediately implement the second plan.
"I will build a foundation tomorrow!"
Li Xiuchang replied.
He returned to the Heaven-level Spiritual Vein Room and released the Paw Patrol and Su Qingchun.
Su Qingchun has been in the Heaven-level Spiritual Vein Room for more than a month and has now entered the late stage of the first stage.
Li Xiuchang shook the rainbow soul flag in his hand and released the late stage of the second stage.
As soon as the evil ghost came out, it rushed towards Li Xiuchang, but the Paw Patrol rushed up and surrounded it, and soon tore it to pieces.
The Paw Patrol swallowed the evil ghost's soul, and their eyes were shining. They wanted to swallow more, but were stopped by Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang strictly controlled the amount of evil ghost souls that each wolf soul took in, so that they could continue to take in after digesting the souls they had taken in.
Many wolf souls had long been stuck at the bottleneck from the peak of the first stage to the second stage. After absorbing the evil ghost souls, they began to break through one after another!
The spiritual energy in the Heaven-level Spiritual Vein Room is abundant, which also helps them break through. The wolf souls break through successfully one after another.
When a ghost breaks through from the first level to the second level, it is just like a cultivator building a foundation, and there is a chance of failure.
But the risk of failure can also be reduced through various external conditions.
For example, the abundant spiritual energy in the Heaven-level Spiritual Vein Room provides a great help, and Li Xiuchang, the soul master, can also provide help.
When a wolf soul shows signs of failure to break through, he can intervene in time and interrupt the breakthrough so that the wolf soul will not be scattered.
Those wolf souls that have successfully broken through were directly collected by Li Xiuchang into the Rainbow Soul Banner, and the wolf souls that have not yet broken through continued to feed the evil ghost soul body.
Li Xiuchang's goal this time is to make all the Paw Patrol members reach the second level!
At this time, some wolf souls have too much evil spirits because they have swallowed too many evil ghost souls.
Li Xiuchang took out the ghost flowers he had just picked to help them absorb.
The ghost flowers can not only enhance the strength of the ghosts, but also neutralize the evil spirits.
After taking the ghost flower, another group of wolf souls began to break through.
Li Xiuchang consumed most of the dozen ghost flowers he had just picked, and finally all the wolf souls began to break through to the second level.
In the end, ten of the twelve wolf souls in the late first level successfully broke through!
The two wolf souls that failed to break through were also rescued by Li Xiuchang. After recuperating for a few days, they could continue to try to break through after Li Xiuchang healed their injuries.
At this time, the late second-level evil ghost had been eaten by the Paw Patrol.
Li Xiuchang cut off part of the remaining half of the soul and gave it to Su Qingchun.
This was the first time Su Qingchun tried to absorb the soul of other ghosts.
He was somewhat resistant, because he had just seen the wolf souls bite and swallow directly, and as a human soul, he was instinctively opposed to eating raw meat and drinking blood.
However, under the guidance of Li Xiuchang, he quickly understood that it was an instinctive habit for the wolf souls to eat souls, and in fact, as long as they absorbed the energy in the soul, the effect would be the same.
Su Qingchun quickly absorbed the evil ghost soul, and his strength was significantly improved.
The key point is that Li Xiuchang observed that the same number of evil ghost souls, the hostility generated by Su Qingchun after absorbing them was far less than that generated by the wolf souls after absorbing them.
It seems that the righteousness accumulated in his soul from reading poetry and books suppressed the generation of hostility.
Li Xiuchang was thoughtful.
It feels that if Su Qingchun can further strengthen the righteousness in his body, he may be able to swallow evil ghosts without generating hostility.
Next, Li Xiuchang divided the remaining evil ghost souls among Wangcai, Yinhun Wolf King, and Su Qingchun.
Let the three of them use the remaining ghost flowers to completely eat the evil ghost.
Li Xiuchang himself also insisted on taking the Beast King Bone Soup every day, and was preparing to add more next time.
He was doing everything possible to improve his overall strength and prepare for the upcoming mission.
…
While Li Xiuchang was in seclusion to improve, Elder Zhao Yuansi of the Zhao Mansion received a message from the General Affairs Hall.
Zhao Yuansi, as an outer sect elder, was also a responsible teacher.
He had instructed the General Affairs Hall that every disciple he accepted must inform him as soon as possible when he made a breakthrough in the art of alchemy.
Therefore, not long after Li Xiuchang passed the first-level alchemist assessment, Zhao Yuansi finally got the news.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for his little disciple.
Li Xiuchang had been his disciple for more than two years, and he also provided Li Xiuchang with a full set of practice materials.
Logically speaking, as long as you concentrate on practicing and don't worry about anything, you should be able to get started in two years.
But he didn't get the news that Li Xiuchang became a first-level alchemist.
He couldn't urge him, and he couldn't bear to ask.
In his impression, Li Xiuchang was a "hard-working player" with average alchemy talent but extremely hardworking.
In his opinion, Li Xiuchang must have been practicing desperately, but he was limited by his talent, so he couldn't become a first-level alchemist.
If he asked at this time, he was afraid of hurting Li Xiuchang's self-esteem.
So when he finally received the news that Li Xiuchang passed the first-level alchemist assessment, he was sincerely happy.
Zhao Yuansi even went to the outer gate general affairs hall in person to retrieve the files.
He wanted to see the specific details of Li Xiuchang's passing the first-level alchemist assessment, so as to infer Li Xiuchang's current specific alchemy level and what weaknesses he still had.
But when he read Li Xiuchang's file jade slip, his expression suddenly froze.
First-level spiritual plant husband?
After more than four months of learning, he passed the first-level spiritual plant husband assessment?
And he passed it with full marks!
He was praised by the examiner as a rare genius in the field of spiritual plants in a thousand years?
"He may be a genius in the field of spiritual plants, but it doesn't prevent him from being obsessed with alchemy. That's nothing." Zhao Yuansi told himself.
He knew that Li Xiuchang's talent in alchemy was average, and he had made good progress in alchemy before.
Therefore, he was sure that Li Xiuchang had really worked hard in alchemy.
But when Zhao Yuansi continued to read the following information, he couldn't hold it anymore.
First-level spiritual chef?
Or a first-level soul master?
Just passed the first-level soul master assessment a few months ago, and won the championship in the future ghost king competition!
Now, Zhao Yuansi couldn't find any excuse.
The image of Li Xiuchang who was hardworking and diligent in his mind was suddenly shattered.
"My good disciple!"
Zhao Yuansi was so angry that he laughed.
He felt that his expectations were let down.
Originally thought that Li Xiuchang was limited in talent and had not yet become a first-level alchemist.
I didn't expect that he was delayed by practicing other skills.
But after a while, Zhao Yuansi's thoughts changed again.
Why was he angry?
He had good talents in other skills, so of course he should cultivate other skills.
Moreover, Li Xiuchang did not give up on the way of alchemy. Even though he had already entered three skills, he still participated in the first-level alchemist assessment and became a qualified first-level alchemist.
With Li Xiuchang's not outstanding talent in alchemy, while taking into account multiple skills, he also raised his alchemy level to the first level. How much hard work did he put in private?
Zhao Yuansi couldn't imagine it.
He thought about it, why did Li Xiuchang insist on the way of alchemy with average talent?
Is it really because of love?
Or because he didn't want to disappoint his teacher's expectations?
Zhao Yuansi remembered that when he first met Li Xiuchang, he gave Li Xiuchang a lot of spiritual medicines for practice and a medium-grade magic furnace.
This was his good intention, but for Li Xiuchang, it was a kind of pressure.
"Maybe I put too much pressure on him."
"Alas, my good disciple!"
Zhao Yuansi was angry at the beginning, but suddenly he blamed himself.
He felt that he had delayed Li Xiuchang's development.
It was obvious that Li Xiuchang had great potential in both spiritual plants and soul control.
As a teacher of alchemy, he wanted to persuade Li Xiuchang to give up alchemy and focus on spiritual plants and soul control.
"Don't let me delay the child's future."
"I have to have a good chat with him!"
Zhao Yuansi immediately sent a message to Li Xiuchang, asking him to take time to come to Zhao's house.
At this time, although Li Xiuchang received the message, he had no time to check it.
He was busy making preparations before adding points, replacing all the mana in the dantian with solid mana!
