Chapter 187 Meeting an acquaintance
"Senior Brother Xie, you should still arrange some people to share your burden!" Ye Xiaobai suggested to Xie Dongyun.
"Junior Brother Ye, of course I know that, but I just can't find a suitable person. By the way, Junior Brother Ye, you have already formed your core and your alchemy skills are at the fifth-grade alchemist level. You must come and help your senior brother!" Xie Dongyun looked at Ye Xiaobai with a longing expression.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Xie, all I know is alchemy, I can't help you with anything else!" Ye Xiaobai directly refused Xie Dongyun's invitation.
"Alright, let's leave your arrangements aside for now. What brings Junior Brother Ye to see me today?" Xie Dongyun asked curiously.
"That's right. A few days ago, after I formed my core, I was wandering around Lingdan Peak when I discovered that many alchemists were discarding waste pill residue everywhere, including some toxic residue, which seriously damaged the environment of Lingdan Peak! Other Lingdan Peak disciples might accidentally get poisoned, or even have their future cultivation affected!"
Ye Xiaobai directly recounted everything he had seen around Lingdan Peak.
"These disciples are always looking for trouble. There are designated places to discard waste pill residue, but they're too lazy to walk even a few extra steps! It seems we need to increase patrols and the penalties for carelessly discarding pill residue!" Xie Dongyun said helplessly.
Then he smiled wryly and said, "Sigh, another piece of trivial matter has been added to my list of endless tasks!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your hard work!" Ye Xiaobai said awkwardly.
"Don't complain about how hard it is. Who told me to be the acting peak master of Lingdan Peak? By the way, you don't want to be assigned other tasks, but your alchemy skills are second to none. In just a few days, the training for the newly appointed alchemy room managers of Lingdan Peak will be handed over to you! Don't refuse!"
Xie Dongyun directly assigned Ye Xiaobai a task.
Ye Xiaobai felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his grievances. He had only come to report on the environmental problems at Lingdan Peak, but unexpectedly, he had been given a task to do.
Upon closer reflection, Ye Xiaobai realized he didn't understand the management of the alchemy room either, so how could he train the person in charge? Thinking this, Ye Xiaobai immediately said, "I'm not familiar with the daily operations of the alchemy room either, so what am I supposed to talk to the person in charge of the formulas about?"
"Of course, it's to let you share the process of refining pills. I've arranged for someone else to explain the daily management of the pill formulas!" Xie Dongyun explained.
"I see. Now that everything has been said, I won't disturb Senior Brother Xie any longer!" Ye Xiaobai said and left Xie Dongyun's room.
"Don't forget the training five days from now!" Xie Dongyun shouted loudly as he watched Ye Xiaobai's departing figure.
"remember!"
"This kid is getting more and more mysterious!" Xie Dongyun muttered to himself.
……
After parting ways with Xie Dongyun, Ye Xiaobai returned directly to his cave.
Five days later, there will be some training session, and Ye Xiaobai will not be able to travel far. He can only stay in his cave to consolidate his cultivation.
At the same time, given that his cave's formation was too rudimentary, Ye Xiaobai considered replacing it with a more advanced one. After all, he was already a Core Formation cultivator, and using the formation provided by the sect seemed too shabby.
Therefore, Ye Xiaobai took advantage of the break from consolidating his cultivation to carefully study the array techniques left by the Five Elements Venerable. Previously, he had only been focused on improving his cultivation and had no time to study array techniques.
Now that I have entered the Core Formation stage and my lifespan has reached about five hundred years, I have plenty of time to study the Dao of Formations.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the training day for the person in charge of the alchemy room arrived. Ye Xiaobai's research on formations was progressing slowly due to the short time available, but fortunately, he would have plenty of time to study it later.
After making some preparations, Ye Xiaobai left the cave and headed to the training location.
Speaking of which, the training session was held in the alchemy room that Xie Dongyun had previously been in charge of, and this was Ye Xiaobai's second time here. Last time, Ye Xiaobai, as a well-performing alchemist from Lingdan Peak, had the opportunity to come here and listen to Xie Dongyun explain his alchemy insights.
Before long, Ye Xiaobai arrived at his destination.
Looking at the somewhat familiar alchemy room in front of him, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
Just as Ye Xiaobai was staring blankly at the alchemy room, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Is that Ye Xiaobai, Junior Brother Ye?" A melodious female cultivator's voice rang in Ye Xiaobai's ears. Before he even saw the person, Ye Xiaobai smelled a familiar fragrance.
"It really is Senior Sister Xiao!" Ye Xiaobai turned around and saw a familiar face. The petite and cute female alchemist from back then now had a more mature feel.
This person was Xiao Lele, who taught Ye Xiaobai when he was just a beginner alchemist. Now she was a fourth-grade alchemist and her cultivation had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
After seeing Ye Xiaobai's cultivation level clearly, Xiao Lele said awkwardly, "It's not appropriate to call you Senior Sister anymore, Senior Brother Ye. You're already a Core Formation cultivator!"
"Whatever you want! Junior Sister Xiao has also become the person in charge of the alchemy room?" Ye Xiaobai didn't want to dwell on it anymore.
"Yes, isn't this the training for the new person in charge of the alchemy room? Aren't you one?" Xiao Lele asked curiously.
"This..." Ye Xiaobai didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"Could it be that you're a training instructor?" Xiao Lele asked incredulously.
"It's just what you think!"
"What? So the rumors that you got a top-three finish at the Alchemy Alliance's Alchemy Competition were true!" Xiao Lele exclaimed in shock once again.
"I was just lucky last time. I owe it all to Junior Sister Xiao's guidance!" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Hehe, let's not talk about the past. Senior Brother Ye is exceptionally talented. You'll succeed no matter who mentors you!" Xiao Lele said with a smile.
"Haha!" Ye Xiaobai didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh awkwardly.
"Then let's go in!"
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Xie Dongyun was already waiting for Ye Xiaobai in the alchemy room.
When she saw Ye Xiaobai and Xiao Lele walking into the alchemy room chatting and laughing, she excitedly invited Ye Xiaobai to come up on stage and introduce him to everyone.
"This is our alchemy genius from Lingdan Peak, who won second place in the alchemy competition held by the Alchemist Alliance!" Xie Dongyun said excitedly.
"My God! He's Ye Xiaobai?"
"I heard your grades are even better than Senior Brother Xie's, is that true?"
"Of course it's true! Senior Brother Xie already said so!"
"I never expected that our Lingdan Peak would have such a talented alchemist!"
The crowd immediately began to discuss among themselves, all expressing their astonishment at Ye Xiaobai's alchemy skills.
Xiao Lele, who was offstage, was also very excited to see everyone's performance.
"Alright, next we'd like to invite Junior Brother Ye to share his alchemy insights!" Xie Dongyun said, clapping his hands in welcome.
As soon as the audience saw Xie Dongyun, they started clapping, and everyone joined in to welcome Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai then quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to share his knowledge of alchemy.
"Today I'll be sharing how to refine the Gathering Yuan Pill. First..."
As Ye Xiaobai shared his alchemy insights, everyone became more familiar with the process of refining the Gathering Yuan Pill, and thus admired Ye Xiaobai's alchemy skills even more.
Ye Xiaobai's reputation thus became even more renowned on Lingdan Peak!
