Under Xiao Qi's kind gaze, Lin Xiao finished all the food on the table. The only consolation was that the food was really quite delicious.

"Alright, you've eaten your fill. Let's talk." Xiao Qi crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at Lin Xiao who was wiping her mouth.

Lin Xiao pursed his lips. He knew that there was no good in eating someone alive, so this was his plan.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Xiao Qi knocked on the table a few times, and said seriously: "Be more serious, I have thought a lot about it, this time I was able to successfully refine a Medial Grade Pill, your flame is an indispensable reason, and once again I understand the importance of Pill Fire to an alchemist."

"So can you …" Xiao Qi's tone was a little awkward.

Lin Xiao could guess what Xiao Qi was thinking. She resolutely shook her head. "Sorry, this is my trump card. I won't give it to anyone else."

Xiao Qi nodded, and then said, "I also know that this is unlikely, so I want to cooperate with you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's interest was piqued. "What cooperation?"

You help me get the Ice Spirit Flame, and I'll teach you alchemy. Although I'm not a alchemist, I'm still a descendant of an alchemist family, so I know a lot about alchemy.

When Xiao Qi said this, her expression was firm without the slightest trace of wavering.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and decided to agree. He originally wanted to learn alchemy from Xiao Qi.

"Then what should we do about the Ice Spirit Flame?"

"Don't worry, I've been paying attention to the Ice Spirit Flame for a long time. Currently, I only know one place that has the Ice Spirit Flame, and that is the Demon Burying Valley of the Thousand Goblins. This is a secret realm, and every year, every region will select a certain number of disciples from the younger generation to participate in the trials of the Demon Burying Valley, and at that time, we will have the chance to refine it. We will need your help, because the early stage of the alchemist is very weak.

Lin Xiao nodded his head. He felt that this was very normal. Opportunity was always accompanied by danger.

"When will the selection be held?"

"We are not in a hurry. The selection will only start in half a year, and there is still half a month of preparation time before we enter Demon Burying Valley. Our first priority right now is to obtain the top hundred in the Sky Demon Region. "

Lin Xiao was confused and his head felt like it was about to explode.

"The top hundred rankings are held every year to confirm the top one hundred participants in the younger generation. The Demon Burying Valley's selection list is chosen from the top one hundred participants in each region."

"What are the benefits?"

"You really can't afford to be early without merit," Xiao Qi rolled her eyes and continued, "This ranking is an honor anyway, and it's also a ticket to the Demon Burying Valley's trial. No matter how many people there are, they won't be able to squeeze their way in. Demons who enter the top hundred will receive a golden token that allows them to walk unhindered in the Sky Demon Region. No one dares to cause trouble here. "

Lin Xiao stroked her chin. If she could obtain this golden token, she would be able to openly return to Long Xuan's side and take back his Eye Drawing Arts.

"Fine, I promise I will help you get the Ice Spirit Flame. You can teach me alchemy and fire controlling techniques." Lin Xiao expressed no objection. This was a win-win situation.

"Alright, as long as you are willing to help me, I dare to say that in terms of fire control and alchemy, I'm the only one with the most profound and mysterious skills in the Sky Demon Region."

Lin Xiao was overjoyed. This would be for the best. As long as he was proficient in fire controlling techniques, he would have the ability to walk the world of demons. The terrifying Netherworld Flame paired with the mysterious fire controlling techniques made him excited.

First of all, to refine pills, one must understand how to recognize all kinds of elixirs, as well as all kinds of recipes, "Xiao Qi snapped her fingers and a meter tall book suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked at every book that was as thick as a fist and swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.

"In the future, you can help me chop firewood in the morning and study these medicinal herbs in the afternoon until they are completely cooked in your heart. At night, I will teach you how to control fire." Xiao Qi made a pill refining plan for Lin Xiao.

"Do you need to be in such a hurry? There's no time to rest." Lin Xiao had never been so busy when he was in university.

Xiao Qi crossed her waist, her long, shapely eyebrows slanted downwards, and her little canine teeth grinded against each other, "You're still resting? The competition for the top 100 will start in two months. You only have two months! "

Lin Xiao frantically nodded her head, not because she agreed, but because she hoped that Xiao Qi would quickly sit down. Her emotions were agitated and her chest was heaving up and down, shaking Lin Xiao until she felt a little dizzy.

"Hmph." Xiao Qi seemed to have sensed something as she folded her arms in front of her chest and sat down again.

Lin Xiao helplessly shrugged her shoulders, picked up the heavy book, and called out to Xiao Qi before returning to her room.

With such a huge pile of books, he only had two months left, so he had no choice but to work hard and use his sleeping time.

He wasn't someone who was lazy to begin with, he just didn't have a goal. Now that he had a goal, it was to learn alchemy and obtain a spot in the top 100 rankings.

Then, let's begin.

Lin Xiao opened the first book, Alchemy and Alchemy Encyclopedia.

He was like a child who had just gone to school, diligently absorbing the knowledge within the books. Moreover, he discovered that these books were not boring or boring at all.

As he spoke to here, Lin Xiao had to admit that one of his specialties was that he read very quickly. He could read ten lines at a glance without any problems, and this was his capital to be able to come from a small mountain village to a key university.

This was a special feature that made him very happy. Perhaps he could complete this difficult task within two months.

Lin Xiao, who was immersed in his book, didn't feel the passage of time at all. When he unwillingly put down his book and looked out of the window, he discovered that the moon was about to set. The sky was about to brighten, but he didn't forget to chop firewood in the morning.

She was so sleepy that she couldn't split firewood. Lin Xiao quickly put down the book and laid on the bed to catch up on her sleep.

A few hours later, Xiao Qi woke him up again. However, he felt much better after washing his face with cold water.

After receiving the axe from Xiao Qi, Lin Xiao strode towards his enemy, the iron-like tree trunk.

Lin Xiao was done cultivating. Today, when he used the Netherworld Flame to attach it to the axe blade, it felt a bit easier than the day before. At this rate, he would be able to control the Netherworld Flame more and more easily.

"Heh heh heh."

Lin Xiao shouted the command as he split firewood in full swing, causing Little Seven, who was nearby, to secretly laugh as well.

After chopping the firewood for a long time, Lin Xiao dove back into the sea of books. In any case, Little Seven would teach him alchemy, so he didn't have to read the books every time.

He was looking forward to how Xiao Qi would teach him how to control fire tonight.

Next, he flipped to the second book, the basic pill formula and its combination.

This book forced Lin Xiao to place more importance on it, and he studied it even more seriously. This book introduced the basics of pill formulas and how to match it with his own. It could be said to be the most important book in the world. It wouldn't be enough just to know the pill formulas left behind by the predecessors. If he could create an even more powerful pill by himself, he would truly be a master apothecary. Even an alchemist grandmaster from ancient times would have walked his own path.
