For the rest of the afternoon, Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan spent basically all their time reading books, both of them very quiet. Occasionally, Shi Ling would ask Gongsun Xiaoxuan about some parts of the herbs that she didn't understand, and Gongsun Xiaoxuan would answer all of them.
Shi Ling took advantage of this time to study desperately. During this afternoon, Shi Ling memorized a total of 130 thousand herbs, including their medicinal properties and the location of their growth.
At first, Shi Ling wanted to read a few more books, but Bai Xiaosheng of the Heart Ring made it so that Shi Ling did not need to read any more. Looking at the sky again, it was getting dark, and if he continued to read, it might affect his training state at night. Thus, Shi Ling put down the books, bid Gongsun Xiaoxuan farewell, and left.
On the other hand, Gongsun Xiaoxuan still sat there and continued to read. Furthermore, looking at the number of books on her table, it was likely that she would still be staying in Changshu Pavilion for a long time.
When Shi Ling left the Changshu Pavilion, he wanted to walk towards his own cave abode, but at this time, Bai Xiaosheng's voice sounded in Shi Ling's heart, "Shi Ling, don't go back yet."
Shi Ling stopped his steps and communicated with Bai Xiaosheng in his heart, "What's wrong?"
Bai Xiaosheng said: "Go to Myriad Treasures Pavilion!"
Shi Ling was puzzled. "Why are we going to Myriad Treasures Pavilion?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "Buy some herbs, I'm going to teach you alchemy!"
Hearing that, Shi Ling was instantly happy and couldn't help but to say happily: "Alchemy! It's true! "
Bai Xiaosheng acknowledged and did not say anymore words. Shi Ling was naturally very happy about it, and immediately, he walked towards Myriad Treasures Pavilion without hesitation.
Shi Ling quickly entered the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and knew that Myriad Treasures Pavilion would close in a little while, so he did not pick and choose, and directly bought nearly three hundred different types of herbs, for a total of five hundred kilograms, and spent twenty thousand gold coins in one go. However, Shi Ling did not feel heartache, because as long as he became an alchemist, he could earn this money.
After purchasing the herbs, Shi Ling returned to his own cave and tightly closed the door as if he was worried that someone would peep.
At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng flew out and said, "Take out the herbs you bought, let me take a look."
The next moment, he saw a large amount of herbs appear out of thin air on the ground. There were all kinds of different colors, but the ages were not high, usually around ninety years to two hundred years. It was not enough for Bai Xiaosheng, with these herbs, he would be able to raise Shi Ling to the level of a low level alchemist.
He then said to Shi Ling: "Do you still remember the Cloud Grass that you mentioned to me before?"
At the moment, the Cloud Grass was still growing in Shi Ling's petri dish. At the same time, the flames wrapped around it jumped more and more vigorously. When Bai Xiaosheng saw this, he said: "The temperature is almost up, you should swallow it today."
He first took out two Wishing Spirit Bead s from his own Heart Ring s and held them in his left and right hands, and refined them to attract more spirit energy for himself to absorb. At the same time, the Azurite Stone was also placed in front of him, recovering his current strength, and at the same time, he could ensure that when consuming the Cloud Grass s, he would not run out of energy.
Bai Xiaosheng immediately closed his eyes, looking like he was thinking about something. Not long later, he opened his eyes again and said to Shi Ling: "Shi Ling, I will give you a cultivation technique, just follow this technique and absorb the Cloud Grass. Do you understand?"
A trace of excitement appeared on Shi Ling's face when he heard this. Why? Because the martial art that Bai Xiaosheng had given him was definitely not ordinary. He looked at Bai Xiaosheng with expectation and said, "Okay, no problem!"
When Bai Xiaosheng saw Shi Ling's excited expression, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh and immediately fell down. The next moment, his book body began to rapidly flip through the pages, and following which, countless words flew out of Bai Xiaosheng's book body and flew towards the center of Shi Ling's brows.
Shi Ling naturally didn't reject any of them. He instantly memorized all the words and soon, a complete set of cultivation technique appeared in Shi Ling's mind. It was called "Crimson Flame Heaven Burning Technique!"
Wu Tie's eyes couldn't help but widen. Bai Xiaosheng flew up and said to Shi Ling, "This cultivation technique belongs to the category of fire controlling techniques. It will be very helpful to you in the future."
Shi Ling's face lit up again when he heard this. Without any hesitation, he muttered: "Mental state, enter!"
As he said that, a strand of white hair appeared on Shi Ling's forehead, and soon after, Shi Ling began to study the cultivation technique. Bai Xiaosheng could not help but smile bitterly as he read up to this point, and muttered to himself: "The two main abilities of the state of mind, one is to give the cultivator a shocking comprehension ability, and the other is an unparalleled support ability. At first, I thought that it would take you some time before you can master the state of mind of the Dao realm, but who would have thought that …"
Saying that, he gave a wry smile. Shi Ling smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I would master it in less than a day, right?"
Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything.
Shi Ling wasn't joking around at this time. He immediately put all of his strength into his dao heart.
With his powerful comprehension ability, Shi Ling was able to read the 'Crimson Flame Heaven Burning Art' that Bai Xiaosheng taught Shi Ling in the next six hours. He understood it now. Although he didn't see through it, Shi Ling was confident that it wouldn't take long for him to completely master it.
At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Is it okay?"
Shi Ling acknowledged and said, "There are many profound aspects to this set of cultivation technique. It will be difficult to comprehend it in a short period of time, but I have a rough understanding of its general direction!"
When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's begin."
Shi Ling also nodded his head, and immediately picked up the Cloud Grass in front of him, then gently plucked it and held it in his hands. This Cloud Grass looked like a lotus, but the flames on it were like real flames, causing one to feel a burning sensation when they get closer.
Shi Ling let out a long sigh, and immediately, he closed his eyes lightly. Immediately, he began reciting the formula of the Crimson Flame Heaven Burning Technique from Shi Ling's mouth, and Bai Xiaosheng, who was watching from the side, saw that as Shi Ling completely recited the formula, a thin layer of flame started to swirl around his body. At the same time, the Cloud Grass in Shi Ling's hands also started to float slowly.
The flames surrounding the Cloud Grass were being peeled off bit by bit and turning into a red stream of light that flowed towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling slightly opened his mouth and the stream of light flowed into Shi Ling's mouth.
