Chapter 304: Xuan Hao’s First Visit to the Alchemy Hall
“Huh? I improved by so much all of a sudden!?” Looking up at the sun slowly rising up from behind the mountains, Xuan Hao could not help but mutter to himself in surprise as he felt how much his cultivation base had improved from just one night.
If he was at the earlier stages of the second stage of the Domain Lord Realm before. By now he had already become a Peak Second Stage Domain Lord. Only a short distance away from reaching the Third Stage!
Standing up from his mediative position, Xuan Hao scanned his body and found out that he was indeed only a single step away from reaching the third stage of the Domain Lord Realm!
“Maybe it was because I cultivated outside for once?”
Xuan Hao truly had no idea why he had advanced so quickly and decided to check his status with the help of the system to see if anything had changed throughout the night.
Name: Xuan Hao
Domain: Sword Intent Domain
Talent: ???
Realm: Peak Second Stage Domain Lord
Professions: Alchemist (Artisan level)
Sect: Flying Sword Sect
Disciples: Qing Yi, Chu Yang, Bai Ning
Looking over his status, Xuan Hao could not really see any changes. The only thing that caught him slightly off guard, was the fact that his domain was called a Sword Intent Domain instead of just a Sword Domain by the system.
Still, this did not give him any clues as to what may have caused his sudden increase in cultivation speed during last night. Maybe his hidden talent of some sort had awakened…?
“Hah… No way…” Shaking his head at the thought of this, Xuan Hao decided that he would just try and cultivate outside again tonight and see if the same thing would happen again.
“I should not delay for too long; I still have to complete the mission before my two disciples return and I have a feeling that the last part will be the hardest…”
Already having a plan of action for what he would be doing for the rest of the day, Xuan Hao floated up into the air before heading over towards the Alchemy Hall.
Learning some common potions or pills from the profession that he was already at the Artisan Level in, seemed to be the easiest way for him to complete his quest…
At the very least, he would be able to easily learn given the knowledge he already had on alchemy.
For the first time, Xuan Hao felt thankful that the system had not transferred any knowledge about ordinary alchemy recipes back then. At the very least, he would be able to easily find something new to learn at the Alchemy Hall!
…
Arriving in the Alchemy Hall, Xuan Hao decided to check in on Peng Yun and see how he was doing at the moment.
After all, he had his cultivation sealed by Shu Yao and was forced to give away the alchemy knowledge he had accumulated throughout his life for a chance to live… Not really something that would be easy by any means, but Xuan Hao had no idea what to say when he really saw him.
“Senior Peng Yun! Can you help me out with this potion recipe? I messed up a bit yesterday and…”
“Peng Yun! Can you come and help me out later today?”
“Elder Peng Yun, thank you for your great lecture today! I Learned a lot from you!”
What was this? How come both elders and disciples of the Alchemy Hall were so happy around him asking for help? Even Wan Qiu, who locked herself up for practicing some new alchemy recipe most of the time, was asking Peng Yun to come and help her out!?
“Looks like he is doing well… Maybe we might even be able to add another Nascent Soul Realm Expert to our sect after he finishes teaching in the Alchemy Hall…”
Narrowing his eyes as he quickly sent a message to Elder Song through his communication talisman, Xuan Hao soon left the entrance of the Alchemy Hall before moving towards the library where the different potion and pill recipes were located.
The library was mostly empty when Xuan Hao entered it, likely because of the Alchemy Hall’s low number of disciples.
Even to this point in time, Qing Yi was still their most recent member…
Hopefully the alchemy competition in another 3 or so months would be able to inspire a few more disciples to join the Alchemy Hall…
Thinking about this, Xuan Hao walked over to a nearby bookshelf with a large sign hanging above it with [Apprentice Potion Recipes] written on it.
The bookshelf was completely filled to the brim with all sorts of recipes and books with large collections of recipes in them.
The bookshelf was also not the only one with apprentice potion recipes, as Xuan Hao could easily see another dozen or so with the same sign above them a little further inside the library.
From this alone, Xuan Hao could easily see how many different recipes that the Alchemy Hall was in possession of! And this was only the Apprentice Potion Recipes! There were still pill recipes and the recipes for the higher-level pill and potions!
“Hm… Qi Absorption Potion, Minor Strength Potion, Healing Salve…”
Going over the different apprentice level potion recipes, Xuan Hao quickly picked a few before leaving the library.
To truly learn alchemy, reading would not be enough, he would have to brew the potion in question before he could say that he had truly learned it!
For that, he would need to borrow one of the Alchemy Hall’s alchemy rooms or return back to his pavilion and use one of the alchemy rooms there.
Other than that, he would also need some of their spiritual herbs as well to even brew a potion in the first palce…
Using his identity as a Core Elder was truly a good feeling, as the elder in charge of the spiritual herbs happily gave away any spiritual herbs, he asked for and pointed him towards one of their empty alchemy rooms…
But for some reason he had a feeling that he was being observed by someone during the entire process…?
Shaking his suspicious feeling aside as he only saw a few elders from the Alchemy Hall nearby, Xuan Hao entered the brewing room that he had been pointed towards by the elder in charge of the spiritual herbs before quickly closing the door behind him.
