Immortal Me Can Infinitely Add Points For Myself

　　Chen Xia set his iron pan in place, put the spatula inside the iron pan, and casually and quickly stir-fried it a couple of times to test the quality of the spatula.

　　He believed in being casual when it came to alchemy, aiming for a state of action without intention.

　　Zhang Daoming was not far away. When he saw Chen Xia coming, his expression showed a bit of joy at first. But when he quickly caught sight of the iron pan, his expression started to turn strange.

　　He thought it was Chen Xia who was being strange first.

　　How could someone come to refine pills without an alchemy furnace but with an iron pan instead?

　　Was he planning to make lunch for him?

　　Zhang Daoming could only think like this. It was impossible that Chen Xia was really going to use the iron pan to refine pills, right? That would be absurd!

　　Even if a Grand Master of the Alchemy Path came, they couldn't use an iron pan to refine pills. The pill qi and medicinal properties would probably disperse as soon as they were put into the pan.

　　Without a proper alchemy furnace, it was impossible to condense these things.

　　Could an iron pan be considered a proper alchemy furnace?

　　Zhang Daoming really couldn't understand it. So much so that when he looked at Chen Xia, he felt that Chen Xia was a bit too unconventional.

　　Chen Xia rolled up the sleeves of his green shirt, waved his hand to greet Zhang Daoming, looking rather lazy all over.

　　"Brother Zhang, I've come to learn alchemy from you."

　　The Witch Clan's Pi Hu hid his hands in his robes, his thin brows slightly furrowed as he looked at Chen Xia. After taking a quick glance at the iron pan beside him, his brows furrowed even deeper.

　　"Who is this person? Why is he calling you Brother Zhang?"

　　Zhang Daoming was really too embarrassed to answer and just mumbled vaguely, "He's a young friend I just met. He seems to be somewhat interested in alchemy, so I asked him to come and observe."

　　"Coming to observe with an iron pan. Hmph, he's really too interested. If this were in my Witch Clan, being driven out by the teacher and punished to kneel would be considered a light punishment."

　　Pi Hu said coldly.

　　The Divine Fire Clan's Hei Yan carefully examined Chen Xia with his crimson pupils. His brows made of flames raised, and he said with a bit of surprise.

　　"Isn't this Chen Xia who has been making quite a name for himself recently? It's said that he's the disciple of the Protector Elder and the strongest preparatory disciple in this batch, a Great Emperor's prodigy with outstanding talent."

　　After saying this, Hei Yan glanced at Pi Hu and sneered, "You still want to make others kneel outside. It would be a good thing if he didn't make you kneel instead."

　　Pi Hu's face turned red with anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he argued.

　　"So what if he's outstanding in cultivation talent? Alchemy is not like cultivation. There are far more complexities in it."

　　"And so what if he's the strongest among the preparatory disciples? He's not even a formal disciple yet. How dare he challenge me with my strength at the second level of the Overturning Sea Realm?!"

　　Zhang Daoming, on the other hand, looked at Chen Xia with shining eyes. He didn't expect that after the human race had declined for an era, there could now be a Great Emperor's prodigy, and the strongest among the preparatory disciples at that.

　　Although he didn't want to admit it, this was much more remarkable than alchemy. After all, it was real talent.

　　Hei Yan lifted his long flaming beard and shook his head with a smile.

　　"You guys usually just work in isolation and don't care about the outside world. Now, a new figure has emerged, but you don't even know him, and you still vainly think that you can suppress him with your strength at the second level of the Overturning Sea Realm."

　　"Do you know why Chen Xia can firmly hold the position of the strongest among the preparatory disciples?"

　　"Because he swallowed three million flying swords in the sword forest and crushed the sword attendants at the third level of the Overturning Sea Realm. With your strength at the second level of the Overturning Sea Realm, you'll just be crushed by him too!"

　　Pi Hu clenched his fists, looking extremely unwilling, but he couldn't find any words to refute. So he just opened his eyes wide and forced himself to argue.

　　"Things in cultivation are different from those in alchemy. Even if he has high talent, he's still a novice in alchemy. Logically, he should show respect and salute us as his seniors!"

　　Zhang Daoming didn't reply. He looked at Chen Xia with even brighter eyes. It was like he had discovered a treasure.

　　The Six-Armed Golden Body Clan's Tong He had been silent all along, but his eyes kept sizing up Chen Xia.

　　This was an existence that deserved his great attention.

　　Hei Yan crossed his arms, curled his lips, and showed a disdainful smile towards Pi Hu.

　　"Why are you telling me this? If you've got the guts, go and say it to Chen Xia's face. Let's see if the three million sword intents in his body will treat you as a senior."

　　Pi Hu gritted his teeth and said, "This is how things are among alchemists. This is about respecting the elders and the hierarchy. Whether I say it or not, it exists."

　　Hei Yan rolled his eyes, feeling a bit speechless, and commented.

　　"Even if you were cremated, your mouth would still be tough."

　　Chen Xia saw that the four of them were having a lively chat, but he didn't deliberately listen, so he didn't know what they were talking about. At the moment, he waved his hand to greet them.

　　"Brother Zhang, can I get closer to watch?"

　　Zhang Daoming quickly nodded and said enthusiastically, "Of course. Come here quickly. I can even give you my place."

　　Naturally, Chen Xia wouldn't take Zhang Daoming's place. He just stood dozens of meters away from the four of them and set up the iron pan again.

　　"What are you doing?" Zhang Daoming pointed at the iron pan and asked.

　　"Refining pills." Chen Xia replied simply.

　　The four Spirit Alchemists were stunned. Even though they had been somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help being taken aback when Chen Xia really said this.

　　Using an iron pan to refine pills?

　　Was Chen Xia too ahead of his time, or were they lagging behind?

　　Even for cultivators, this kind of approach was really too unconventional.

　　Zhang Daoming forced a polite smile and said, "Okay, it's a good thing that young people are brave enough to innovate. Not bad, not bad."

　　Hei Yan directly gave a thumbs up and said, "Unheard of. A prodigy like this should be like this."

　　Even Tong He of the Six-Armed Golden Body Clan, who had been silent all along, also praised.

　　"Unique thinking, opening up a new path in alchemy."

　　The remaining Pi Hu was a bit at a loss. Looking at the three of them, he always felt that something was a bit off.

　　The three of them also looked at him at the same time. Zhang Daoming kept winking at him, and the meaning was obvious.

　　Are you going to embrace this powerful backer or not?

　　Pi Hu coughed dryly twice, his face a bit flushed. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a sentence.

　　"Indeed."

　　Chen Xia clasped his hands together and said modestly to the four of them.

　　"Just talent."

　　The four of them looked at each other, really not knowing how to reply. The situation was a bit awkward. Fortunately, the right time had come, and they began to refine pills.

　　First, they put in the medicinal materials, arranging the cleaned medicinal materials in order. They needed to use spiritual power to maintain the right temperature and environment so that the medicinal properties could be kept in the most perfect state.

　　Chen Xia put his hands behind his back and moved closer to the four of them, looking like an old man watching others play chess. He also picked up some scraps of pills on the ground and put them in his pocket.

　　Zhang Daoming laughed heartily. He stretched out one palm, and orange-yellow flames emerged from it. This was his natal alchemy fire, which was very beneficial for alchemy.

　　"Little friend, watch carefully. Although you're a favored son of heaven on the cultivation path, alchemy is very different from cultivation. There are many details. Since you're just starting to explore this path, you need a guide."

　　Zhang Daoming suddenly clenched his palm, and the orange-yellow flames under the alchemy furnace surged and burned vigorously. He said in a deep voice.

　　"Although I'm not talented and my understanding of the alchemy path is still shallow, I still know a thing or two. I'm barely qualified to be your guide on the alchemy path!"

　　Chen Xia didn't reply.

　　He just wanted to see what this little old man was going to show off.
