That night, under Shi Ling's intense training, the Huntian Sword Arts was forcefully raised to the second stage by Shi Ling, causing its power to increase by a lot. Of course, the main reason was due to the state of mind that Shi Ling was in after entering the Dao state, if not for it, Shi Ling would have to bitterly train for at least a year or so before being able to reach the second stage.

Gradually, the sky started to brighten. Shi Ling immediately put his Black Wood Sword back into the Heart Ring, let out a long breath, and wiped his forehead with one hand. This feeling of contentment made Shi Ling feel very good.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng flew over and said, "What, it's only been one night and you don't want to practice anymore?"

Shi Ling helplessly smiled and said, "I still have to go to the academy for lessons later, so I can only arrive here first."

Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes and said, "If you are in the Empyrean Terminus Academy, I don't have any objections if you listen to the lessons every day. But the problem is, what are you learning in Human Extreme Institute? I don't think those instructors in the Blood Coagulation can teach you any good fighting techniques. "

Shi Ling walked into the cave, and said: "It's impossible to learn any kind of outstanding fighting techniques from within the Human Extreme Institute, but it's still possible to learn some knowledge. For example, it's possible to learn the knowledge of various medicinal herbs, the recognition of ancient characters, or forbidden areas in various dangerous areas, although they won't help me increase my strength, but they will definitely help me along the road I walk on in the future."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng did not deny it. He really could not say that Shi Ling was wrong, after all knowledge was the most powerful power. At this time, Shi Ling said, "Moreover, today is the day to learn alchemy. How can I miss this?"

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen. He said, "Learn to refine medicine?"

Shi Ling nodded his head in acknowledgement and said: "The Medicine Refinery Hall will send an alchemist to pick out some talented lower level disciples from us and will bring them back to the Medicine Refinery Hall to train. This is not only the will of the Medicine Refinery Hall, it is also the will of the Spirit Sword Sect."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded after hearing that and didn't say anything else.

After Shi Ling entered the cave, he went to take a bath first. In the hot spring pool, he soaked comfortably for about an hour. After he recovered most of his strength and mana, Shi Ling stood up and changed into a clean set of clothes.

Although Shi Ling no longer had a good impression of Hai Hall, it was mainly because of Jiang Hao and his grandfather-grandson, but Shi Ling definitely would not give up on the opportunity to learn alchemy because of them. Thus, Shi Ling had to attend today's class.

After Shi Ling entered the Hai Hall, he went to his seat and sat down. Beside him, the delicate and pretty girl was still the same as before, holding a book and reading it carefully. Shi Ling glanced at her sideways, she looked quite similar to Gongsun Jie, so he guessed that she must be Gongsun Jie's sister.

However, since she and Shi Ling didn't know each other, Shi Ling didn't greet her. He immediately sat in his seat and also took out a book to read, waiting for class to start.

At this moment, the girl raised her head and looked at Shi Ling with her pretty eyes. She first revealed a curious expression and then smiled at Shi Ling, "Shi Ling?"

Shi Ling looked away from the book and turned around to look at the girl. He noticed that she was smiling at him and said: "Do you know me?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know you, but my brother knows you!"

Shi Ling asked, "Brother?" "Gongsun Jie?"

The girl nodded. Shi Ling asked again, "So you are Gongsun Xiaoxuan?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan lightly nodded her head and smiled, "Looks like brother has already mentioned me to you."

Shi Ling put down the book in his hands and turned around to face Gongsun Xiaoxuan. Just as he was about to say that he would take care of her more in the future …

However, Gongsun Xiaoxuan said, "Don't worry. I'll take care of you more in the future."

She was obviously a girl who liked to laugh a lot. Shi Ling's mouth twitched when he heard that, but he didn't know what to say at this moment. In the end, he shook his head and said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to advise me from now on."

Gongsun Xiaoxuan nodded. Shi Ling picked up his book again and continued to read.

Soon, it was time for class. The students within the Hai Hall walked in one after another, and even Jiang Hao, who was injured by Shi Ling yesterday, appeared. However, his expression was a bit unsightly, especially when he looked at Wu Tie, he was gnashing his teeth in anger.

Shi Ling ignored Jiang Hao's gaze and continued to read. After that, a young teacher walked in. This person wore a large white robe with the word 'medicine' on his back. There were also a lot of small jade bottles on his waist.

And it was precisely this kind of young teacher. The moment he walked into the Hai Hall, he immediately attracted the attention of many young girls. Because this teacher was very good-looking, it couldn't even be described as a handsome man. Especially the way he rubbed his chin with one hand, it made two little stars appear in the eyes of many girls.

Shi Ling couldn't help but dryly laugh when he saw the face of those girls that were infatuated with the statue. He thought to himself, it seems that this kind of creature, whether in the mortal world or the cultivation world, is very popular.

Thinking about this, Shi Ling turned around and looked at Gongsun Xiaoxuan, who was beside him. However, he saw that Gongsun Xiaoxuan ignored the young teacher and didn't even raise her head to look at him. She was still sitting there quietly, reading.

However, at this time, the young instructor said to the students within the Hai Hall: "Hello, my name is Xiao Jian, I am a first stage high level alchemist for the Medicine Refinery Hall, today I will be teaching for everyone, as for what the lesson is, I believe everyone should know about it, right?"

A bunch of young girls immediately jeered, "Got it!"

As they spoke, they took out the already prepared furnace and all kinds of medicine boxes. Then they looked at Xiao Jian expectantly, as if they wanted to get his praise. Xiao Jian smiled and nodded, expressing that he was very satisfied.

As for the boys, they took out the items in twos and threes. Shi Ling felt a little awkward seeing this, because he didn't have any furnace prepared before he came, but there were quite a lot of herbs.

At this moment, Xiao Jian said: "Oh right, let me tell everyone that we're not taking the exam today."

When these words were spoken, everyone was instantly stunned. Shi Ling also looked at Xiao Jian in puzzlement. If he didn't concoct pills, then what was he going to do?

However, he heard Xiao Jian say, "Today, let's test our fire control abilities!"

Shi Ling frowned slightly as he heard this. Fire control ability? Although it was said to be the most basic course of alchemy, there was no need for it to be taught in the classroom.

As Shi Ling thought this, Gongsun Xiaoxuan, who was beside him, raised her head and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

Soon after, Xiao Jian took out many small wooden boxes from his Storage Ring and had his men distribute them. Each of them was small, and there were not many of them.

Shi Ling also received a palm-sized box. He immediately opened it and saw ten black crystals the size of longan fruits. Shi Ling couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression as he thought, "What are you doing?"

At this time, Xiao Jian said: "This crystal is called Black Stone Rock, it contains a type of stone deep underground. It contains a dense amount of spirit energy, but because it has been in the underground rock stratum all year round, there are a lot of impurities in it. What I want you all to do now is to use the fire control method that you all have to get rid of all the impurities!"

After he said that, everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Shi Ling also let out a long "oh". Immediately, Xiao Jian began to demonstrate for everyone.
