As Elder Song rushed over to meet this Grandmaster Realm Formation Master that he had been unaware a few seconds ago, Xuan Hao reappeared at the Ninth Star Peak where the new main hall of the alchemy hall was still in the process of being constructed.
Given that the elders of the alchemy hall wanted to prepare for the future and wanted the number of alchemy disciples to grow far past a few hundred, it was a massive building that was incorporated into the side of the Ninth Star Peak itself, with a portion of it sticking up above the spiritual herb field on the Ninth Star Peak, where it was incorporated into the herb fields themselves with several smaller buildings connecting to the main hall itself.
Of course, given that it had been constructed in a manner where most of the alchemy disciples and elders could stay inside the main hall to study and practice alchemy without any problems, the different buildings connecting to the top part on the spiritual fields of the Ninth Star Peak, were mainly for the storage of spiritual herbs and places for the spiritual herb farmers and caretakers to store their equipment or other things used to help the growth of the spiritual herbs.
In a sense, the top part of the alchemy hall connected to the spiritual herb fields on the Ninth Star Peak had essentially been allocated to these spiritual herb caretakers and their disciples. Allowing the alchemists inside the main hall itself to smoothly and swiftly access any spiritual herbs that they might need.
After all, when it came to finding the spiritual herbs needed by the alchemists among the countless piles and sacks that had been sorted away for storage, the caretakers and farmers who had done said sorting could be said to be faster than even the most skilled alchemist.
“Ah, there she is.”
Finding the one he was looking for after a quick look through the interior of the new main hall of the alchemy hall, Xuan Hao gently landed on the ground before starting to make his way towards the grandiose entrance of the massive building that would serve as the gathering spot for the sect’s alchemists in the future.
Soon enough, finding himself in front of a rather small alchemy room located in the corner without anything around. Far from being as large and splendid as some of the other alchemy rooms that had already been constructed for the alchemy elders.
“Huh? Who is- Master!”
“Master…!?
Arriving at the entrance to this small alchemy room before pushing open the door, Xuan Hao was directly met with the overjoyed voice of his first disciple and the surprised voice of his fifth disciple, who were both going over some kind of alchemy recipe together.
From a glance, it was obvious that Qing Yi was currently in the process of teaching her junior sister on the path of alchemy, something she had been doing ever since Chun Hua had first shown an interest in learning more about alchemy.
Luckily, it seemed like Chun Hua was also quite talented when it came to alchemy and even though she ha yet to break through to the Master Realm and could be considered to have encountered a bottleneck at the Peak of the Artisan Realm, it wouldn’t be long before the Star Shattering Sect gained another Master Alchemist with Qing Yi dedicating so much of her time to assisting this junior sister of hers.
Knowing this as well, Xuan Hao could not help smiling at the two girls as he greeted them and told them to continue what they were doing before he had shown up. Earning a rather surprised look from both of them before being replaced by one of understanding.
Both of them understood that this was a subtle way for their master to assess their current progress in alchemy.
At the same time, they also understood that their master would be there to guide them, as he had done in the past whenever he showed up and did similar things in the past.
Of course, among the two of them, the one most excited was Chun Hua, as she was already extremely close to the Master Realm.
Knowing that with her master’s guidance this time around, she might really be able to breakthrough the bottleneck that had been keeping her stuck at the Peak of the Artisan Realm for the past few months!
As both of the girls understood that their master would personally be guiding them and assessing their current skill level, neither of them dared to be the slightest bit careless, as they both went all out while discussing the alchemy recipe that they had only been casually chatting about seconds earlier.
Whoosh~!
Not just going all out in displaying their knowledge, the two of them even started demonstrating their alchemy skill under the pretext of testing the pill recipe that they had been discussing. Showing Xuan Hao a rather amusing scene of a junior sister and senior sister trying to outcompete each other to show off more than the other.
In the end, this lasted for the next three hours before they finished showing off. After which Xuan Hao took the opportunity to carefully examine what they had made before giving feedback and also helping modify the pill recipe they had been discussing and making it more efficient compared to before, while at the same time also explaining what changes he made and why.
The pill recipe in question was only of the Soul Rank or for the Nascent Soul Realm.
With his current strength as a Grandmaster Realm Alchemist, it wasn’t a problem for him to do something like this and might even be something Qing Yi herself could accomplish as a Master Alchemist if she put aside a few weeks of her time.
Not to mention, it was a good way for his disciples to learn more about the process of creating new alchemy recipes, as that was crucial for the development of an alchemist and the two of them didn’t have much experience in this regard. Mostly having relied on recipes and formulas provided by him or the sect to practice without trying to create their own recipes and formulas.
Then again… The main reason why he even excelled in this aspect to start off with was due to the help of the system back when it had first infused him with alchemy knowledge, as it had at the same time also allowed him to master this aspect of alchemy back then. Making it rather simple to take the first step into comprehending the Dao of Alchemy.
