C64 Alchemy Master

Du Qi asked, "Then Master must be a disciple of Pill Cauldron Sect?"

Lin said proudly, "That's right. This old man is Lin Wantang, the 15th descendant of Pill Cauldron Sect. He is also known as the 'Great Alchemist'."

Du Qi said, "Between the Pill Cauldron Sect and the Golden Pill Sect, who has higher skill in alchemy?"

Lin Wantang said with a smile, "The Golden Core Sect is a small branch of the Pill Cauldron Sect. They think that by consuming the 'Golden Core' that is refined, they can live forever and eventually attain immortality. It completely distorted the external alchemy skills that our sect adhered to, and only talked about alchemy. Even a pill servant of my sect can be compared to Pill King Zhang Lan. "

Qin Xin could not help but laugh, "Grandma Wang sells melons, boasting!"

Lin Wantang said, "What does little girl know? Although our Pill Cauldron Sect adheres to the External Pill technique, it focuses on combining it with inner Qi cultivation. And... The cultivation of inner Qi is the main focus. The External Core assists one's cultivation. Together with the Inner Core Technique of the Grand Dao of Gold Core, it is known as the Internal and External Dao of Alchemy. The medicinal pills refined were mainly for the sake of saving one's life. It was not that they were not passed down to others. For example, how can those sects in the Golden Core Sect, who only know how to consume the so-called Golden Core and seek longevity, be compared to my sect? "

Du Qi said, "Since that's the case, why did Master so hastily want to pass on this outer core technique to me?"

Lin Wantang smiled and said, "If I hadn't taken a liking to your aptitude, would I have kept you? If you didn't feel my secret, would you stay here and suffer? Besides, I'm only inspecting you right now. I didn't say that I must confer the Pill Cauldron Sect to you. "

Qin Xin suddenly said," No wonder both of you have been so secretive and secretive in these two months. It turns out that both of you have ulterior motives! "

Du Qi smiled and said," Can I enter Master's eyes? "

Lin Wantang did not pay attention to Qin Xin's words and said solemnly, "Your aptitude is indeed the best. But if you want to obtain the outer core technique of our Pill Cauldron Sect, your inner force cultivation will not be able to protect you."

Du Qi was surprised and said, "You mean if I want to learn the outer core technique, I must disperse the inner force that I am practicing first?"

Lin Wantang nodded and said, "That is why I am hesitant and cannot make a decision."

Du Qi said disappointedly, "What I'm learning is the best inner core technique. If I destroy it in order to learn the outer core technique, it's not worth it. It seems that I have no fate with Pill Cauldron Sect."

Lin Wantang's expression changed and he said, "You are cultivating the inner core technique? No wonder I can't see where your inner force technique came from! It seems that the heavens have blessed the Pill Cauldron Sect, to actually obtain a descendant of the inner core technique!"

Hearing this, Du Qi thought to himself, "What I cultivate is the most important long life cultivation technique that Guang Chengzi cultivates in. Of course you can't see through it. If you knew the inside story, I don't even know how surprised you would be. " As his thoughts surged, Du Qi turned around and knelt in front of Lin Wantang, bowing and saying, "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!" After saying that, he kowtowed nine times in a row.

Lin Wantang sat on the chair and received Du Qi's bow safely. After that, he stretched out his hand to help Du Qi up and said happily, "Alright. From today onwards, you, Du Qi, will be the sixteenth generation successor of Pill Cauldron Sect!"

Du Qi smiled and said, "Then master, shouldn't you hurry and teach disciple the Great Pill Cauldron Technique?"

Lin Wantang flicked his sleeves and got up to walk to the counter. He said seriously, "Since you want it so badly, hurry up and come over!"

Du Qi saw Lin Wantang walk into the counter and turn on the mechanism. The counter and the closet inside the counter slid to the side silently. A secret door that was embedded in the corner of the wall was revealed. He opened the secret door. A stone level led straight down. Lin Wantang walked in without hesitation. Du Qi was about to follow. He suddenly remembered that when he was twelve years old, his grandfather and father had also brought him into such an underground secret room to pass on his skills. In the end, he was met with misfortune. Looking at his master's back, Du Qi suddenly stopped walking. He said resolutely, "Master, I don't want to learn anymore. You should come out."

Lin Wantang turned around in surprise and said, "What did you say?"

Du Qi suddenly felt pain in his heart and said, "I don't want to leave Master, so I don't want to learn now."

Lin Wantang seemed to have misunderstood and could not help being touched. He turned around and pulled Du Qi up, and unexpectedly felt a little sour in his heart. He said in a loving tone, "Silly child, there is no banquet in this world. As long as you can inherit the Pill Cauldron Sect... Master is deeply gratified." He saw that Qin Xin was still sitting there without moving. After thinking for a while, he called out, "Little girl, if you are interested, you can come and take a look."

Qin Xin cheered and hurriedly jumped up to follow Du Qi, who was half-dragged by Lin Wantang.

The secret chamber was less than 200 feet deep into the ground. The air was still fresh and did not feel stuffy at all. Under the illumination of the huge candle that Lin Wantang brought, Du Qi saw a golden statue in front of the wall, but he did not know who it was.

While Du Qi was thinking, he heard Lin Wantang call out, "Qi'er, this is the founder of the sect, Wei Luo. Quickly come and pay your respects!"

Du Qi did not dare to be neglectful and quickly followed Lin Wantang's instructions. He knelt in front of the statue and muttered, "Ancestral Master, the sixteenth generation junior, Du Qi, has come to pay his respects. How is everything going with your wandering mind? May you display your divine might and bless our sect to prosper! "

Lin Wantang saw that Du Qi had finished his big bow and quickly helped him up. He said solemnly, "Our ancestor, Wei Luo, came from a high family, but he is not willing to serve as an official. He has a good temperament and has good Dao skills. He travels the Changbai Mountains and meets Immortals. He had obtained the theory of lead and mercury and the opportunity to become a dragon and tiger, which led to the establishment of the Pill Cauldron Sect. The 'Zhou Yi's Deed of Thorough Comprehension' that was written by later generations was known as the eternal Alchemy King. It was the most authentic cultivation scripture. "

Du Qi said, "Master, how many wise sages of my sect have cultivated to become immortals?"

Lin Wantang said, "My Pill Cauldron Sect was originally a large sect that cultivated outside alchemy and sought immortality. It was passed down from the seventh generation. For some reason, there was internal strife and was attacked by foreign enemies. As a result, we suffered heavy casualties and suffered great losses. Our sect was even split into countless small sects. All of them claimed to be authentic external alchemy techniques. The Golden Pill Sect that they mentioned just now was one of them. The current generation's Sect Master was fortunate enough to escape calamity. Later on, we found a successor and passed down the mantle of our sect. Ever since then, our sect has gone into hiding. Every generation, only one person will be passed down. Every generation's successor could only take in four alchemy servants at most. Apart from two or three seniors with poor aptitudes who had no success. The rest have all attained Immortal Ascension. "

Du Qi said again, "Could it be that Master has an unparalleled skill in alchemy but has never used it?"

Lin Wantang seemed to be somewhat helpless and sighed, "My sect's skill in alchemy is indeed outstanding, but because my sect does not have many people. Their strength is not strong. In order to avoid those who have ill intentions from coveting them, they are powerless to protect themselves. That is why every generation of our sect's inheritors find a place to live in seclusion, with the exception of a few close friends. They never revealed their pill refinement techniques in front of outsiders. After I learned the skill in alchemy, I only concocted a few batches of pills for my friends thirty years ago. "

Du Qi also sighed and said," What a pity! Then wouldn't I have to live in seclusion like Master? "

Lin Wantang said, "You can cultivate both internally and externally, as you wish!"
