“Ling Xiao doesn’t know anything about alchemy, so I think he should start studying from the most basic <Basic Medicine Principle>, < Fire Control Technique>, <Basic Alchemy>, and <Basic Medicine Refining Technique>. If he doesn’t understand anything, he can ask me.”
Lan Yu’er didn’t turn down Hall Master Old Yang’s token. Moreover, she made some suggestions because Hall Master Old Yang had been kind to her. In addition, she also needed a male apprentice for some physical work.
More importantly, she was somewhat interested in Ling Xiao. She truly wanted to see how good this genius who had been highly praised by Hall Master Old Yang was.
“Okay, Ling Xiao, you can learn from Lan girl for the time being. After you finish learning the basics, I will teach you advanced alchemy and medical techniques.”
After speaking, Hall Master Old Yang turned around and left; he could rest assured with Lan Yu’er.
“Ling Xiao, it’s great that we can cultivate together again.”
Dai Yuling said without any deeper thoughts.
“What are you happy about? Did you comprehend the things this Master taught you?” Lan Yu’er rebuked her.
Dai Yuling stuck out her tongue, turned around, and left to do her work.
“Come with me.”
Afterward, Lan Yu’er led Ling Xiao to the Medicine Hall’s library. There were no martial art manuals here, but there were plenty of books about alchemy and medicine.
Good lord, the probability of Lan Yu’er attracting others’ attention was 100%!
Regardless of it being men or women, as long as Lan Yu’er appeared, all would turn to see her. Some looked at her with admiration, and even more looked at her with infatuation.
But seeing Ling Xiao, their eyes became sharp as if he had offended them.
“Who’s that kid? How come he is walking with Senior Sister Lan Yu’er?”
“I haven’t seen him before. He should be the new outer disciple.”
“It turns out that Senior sister Lan Yu’er likes fresh meat. Alas, are we too old?”
“All the good cabbage crops have been ruined by the pigs!”
Hearing such comments, Ling Xiao could only lament this unexpected disaster.
Do you all truly like this popsicle?
When they arrived at the Medicine Hall’s library, Lan Yu’er selected a few books from the bookshelves. In addition to the ones the Hall Master had recommended before, she picked <Spirit Herb Collection> and <Spirit Beast Illustration>.
“Don’t look down upon <Spirit Herb Collection> and <Spirit Beast Illustration>. They are the foundations of alchemy and medicine refinement. <Spirit Herb Collection> records all kinds of spirit herbs, as well as how to grow and identify them.”
Lan Yu’er gave the books to Ling Xiao with a brief introduction. “As for <Spirit Beast Illustration>, it details various spirit beasts and their parts that can be used as medicine materials, including the properties of the medicine and so on.”
“Got it.”
Ling Xiao nodded.
“Knowing alone is not enough. The key is to memorize all the things in these two books!”
Lan Yu’er emphasized.
On the other side, there were other disciples choosing books, most of them from the inner sect. When they heard her words, they couldn’t help but wryly smiling.
“Look, Junior Sister Lan is starting to give someone a hard time again.”
“Yes, even one among those two, it is impossible to memorize everything in ten years. That is even when one’s memorization is extremely good. That’s without even mentioning the both of them.”
“Yes, I heard that even Junior Sister Lan herself seemed to have memorized only 70%. As for the rest, she is just familiar with it.”
“Alas, that unlucky kid… how did he offend Junior Sister Lan?”
“Unlucky indeed!”
Ling Xiao heard these comments, but he said nothing.
This Lan Yu’er should be trying to make him give up. Naturally, she also had the intention to teach him a lesson.
Rest assured, Senior Sister Lan. I, this junior brother will certainly give you a pleasant surprise.
He smiled and didn’t leave but found a seat to sit down, before quickly browsing through the books Lan Yu’er had brought——
<Basic Medicine Principle>, <Fire Control Technique>, <Basic Alchemy> and <Basic Medicine Refining Technique>.
In an instant, he had already copied the contents of these four books.
Naturally, copying was just the beginning.
The contents of the books copied in the Landscape Martial Soul’s library would be integrated into his soul, which was more reliable than memorizing.
Other than <Fire Control Technique>, the other three were very easy to understand. With the Enter Soul State, he had grasped them in less than 15 minutes.
<Fire Control Technique> was a bit difficult since it explained how to control fire during alchemy and medicine refinement.
The contents were very complicated and detailed. Every medicinal material needed delicate control of its unique flame type and size.
If one wanted to completely grasp it, one should first truly memorize all the contents of <Spirit Herb Collection> and <Spirit Beast Illustration>. Like that, one could control the flames according to the medicine materials’ properties.
Otherwise, it was very easy to make mistakes.
Originally, outer disciples would not have been qualified to read these two books, but since Ling Xiao was Hall Master Old Yang’s person and Lan Yu’er had brought him here, the person in charge of the library didn’t dare to stop them.
Those two books had a lot of pictures and text, including a lot of mathematical problems.
Honestly speaking, after opening these two books, Ling Xiao knew that what those inner disciples had said was not false.
These two seemingly thin books were actually sealed with a special sealing technique. If they were treated like ordinary books, even a hundred square meter house might not be enough to contain their contents.
Lan Yu’er unconsciously showed a smug smile upon seeing Ling Xiao’s stunned expression, but she was stunned in the next moment.
Those inner disciples who had been singing a funeral dirge for Ling Xiao were also stunned.
How was Ling Xiao reading? He was simply browsing through them. He just casually flipped them before stopping.
“Junior Brother Ling, it doesn’t matter if you can’t memorize it. I didn’t ask you to memorize them right now. As long as you can memorize them within ten years, that would be pretty good.”
Lan Yu’er coldly said.
Ling Xiao smiled, closed the books, and returned them all.
“That kid is wise. He knows how to admit defeat if he can’t do it. Otherwise, he would have suffered more in the future.”
“That’s called knowing oneself.”
“Yes, there is truly no need to compare ourselves with Junior Sister Lan; otherwise, we’ll just be irritated to death.”
Seeing Ling Xiao returning the books, those inner disciples praised him for his wise decision.
But this time, Ling Xiao was not listening to their praises. In his mind, he was repeatedly recalling the contents of those two books.
They were too surprising.
No wonder normal outer disciples weren’t allowed to reach these two books. He guessed that many people must have toiled to compile them.
Many of the medicinal materials and spirit beasts recorded in these two books were actually very common things, but people simply didn’t recognize them and think them rubbish.
If you don’t know it, you would treat it as rubbish. But if you know that it was a treasure, you could be one step ahead in everything. This was equivalent to having a powerful cheat.
