Taixue Peak, Xu Fan and Wang Yulun entered the Teaching Hall.

"Did you hear that? The Left Protector from the Battle Hall is coming to give a lecture in the Teaching Hall, He is responsible for our Tianque Sect's battle division, just a casual talk about attack techniques would be enough for us to benefit a lot."

"That's right, I was fortunate enough to witness the Left Protector's skills, his Wind and Thunder Sword Skill allows him to kill enemies above his own realm."

"In less than 50 years after joining the sect, Left Protector has already reached the Gold Core Realm, he's definitely going to become a Sect Elder in the future."

The expressions of the two people who had arrived early at the Teaching Hall were quite different.

Excitement appeared on Wang Yulun's face, as attack techniques were his favorite, but disappointment was evident in Xu Fan's eyes. Defensive techniques were better in his opinion, as surviving meant victory.

Seeing the slightly disappointed expression on Xu Fan's face, Wang Yulun advised, "Brother Xu, don't you know that the best defense is a strong offense? Although your attacking techniques are pretty powerful."

"You stay here and listen. I'll go see if there are any other classes," Xu Fan said without paying attention to Wang Yulun's words, heading directly to other buildings.

In Taixue Peak, there were 36 teaching buildings alone, but the vast majority of them charged fees.

Xu Fan wandered among the numerous buildings, looking at the small signs outside each of them, which displayed today's courses.

"Light Body Technique and Wind Riding Technique explanation, I already know this, skip."

"Sword Riding Technique explanation, not interested."

"Basics of Artifact Refining, I don't have the money to learn the full set right now, I'll think about it later."

"Basic Beast Taming principles, skip."

"Ah, Alchemy: Medicinal Properties of Herbs." freeweb(n)ovel

Xu Fan stopped and thought for a moment before heading towards that building.

"Ten lessons in total will be completed in three days, including a jade record. It costs 50 spirit stones."

"There are currently three spots available."

Xu Fan's face showed bitterness when he heard 50 spirit stones. His mother earned less than a hundred spirit stones in a year for doing tasks for the sect, and now more than half would be gone.

"If you want to learn alchemy, this course is a fundamental one. The elders of the Elixir Hall won't teach it, so you can only learn it by yourself."

Having seen many such scenes, the young disciple at the entrance knew that eventually, they would obediently enter.

Finally, Xu Fan paid the spirit stones and went in.

"Sigh, another outer disciple with unrealistic dreams. Alchemy is piled up with spirit stones. If just spending 50 spirit stones hurts so much, this amount of spirit stones is just enough to buy a lesson."

Under the guidance of the guards, Xu Fan went to the second floor, where more than 20 disciples were already sitting in meditation waiting. Everyone was silent and just sat there quietly.

Xu Fan casually found a position at the back and started observing his surroundings, wondering how to escape if something unexpected happened.

Then two more outer disciples came in, and an elder from the Elixir Hall finally appeared.

"Since you all have registered for this course, I assume you are interested in joining the Elixir Hall in the future."

"I must say, you have good taste. Alchemy Masters are highly respected in the Cultivation World. Lesser Purification Pills, Spirit Clearing Pills, Cultivating Yuan Pills, Basic Spirit Pills."

"Slightly better ones include Foundation Establishment Pills, Nascent Soul Pills, Dragon and Tiger Pills, Soul Nurturing Pills."

"We won't go into the ones beyond that, but in general, our alchemists hold a much higher position than those who like to fight and kill."

"And we earn spirit stones faster," said the Elder from the Elixir Hall, getting to the most crucial point.

"In this course, I will explain the medicinal properties of 1,600 commonly-used herbs for elixirs, as well as processing methods for spiritual medicines."

"If you aspire to become an alchemist, by listening to these lessons, you will save a lot of time from taking detours."

"I will talk, and you will listen; there will be a question-and-answer time at the end of each lesson."

"Qingling Grass, neutral medicinal property, must not be mixed with fierce fire and fire-attributed spiritual medicines. If there are two types of spiritual medicines in a formula, a little bit of Earth Spirit Flower must be added to counteract."

"Water Spirit Fruit, gentle medicinal property, avoid......"

When Xu Fan finished his three classes, it was already dusk.

After borrowing some Technique Jade Slips from the Skill Hall, he activated his Light Body Technique and floated towards his own mountain peak. His peak was assigned two years ago when he advanced to Qi Cultivation 4th level. Before the 4th level, the disciples lived in a collective dormitory, with the exception of Celestial Favorites personally taken in by the Sect Elders.

From mid-air, Xu Fan saw Wang Yulun holding a Grass Spirit Sheep and waiting for him outside the restriction of his yard.

"Aren't you afraid of the Law Enforcement Team's disciples coming to you? This is a Spirit Sheep raised by the sect." Xu Fan steadied himself and landed next to Wang Yulun.

"I have already reported it, one Spirit Stone. Brother Xu, you better roast this well later on." Wang Yulun said with a craving expression. Every few days, he would visit Xu Fan for a satisfying meal.

Xu Fan formed a hand gesture and lifted the restriction on his yard.

In a blink of an eye, his yard became bright and illuminated. Stored at the top of his yard was Xu Fan's Light Illumination Technique, which would activate once the sun sets.

"Brother Xu, every time I visit your yard, I feel like a loser. Your attack techniques, various techniques, and especially your defense techniques are all above the beginner level."

"If I weren't forbidden from talking about it, you would be the top Outer Disciple ..."

Before Wang Yulun could finish his sentence, Xu Fan covered his mouth.

"I'm just a low-key Outer Disciple. Don't get me into trouble."

Just kidding, as long as I live well, I can break through. I just need to live a safe, low-profile life. Drawing attention to myself is taboo.

"Brother Xu, I understand."

"Come in—what would you like to eat today?"

"Roast whole lamb." Wang Yulun licked his lips. Nowadays, he felt uneasy if he didn't get to eat a feast prepared by his Brother Xu every once in a while.

"Alright."

Since someone was providing the ingredients, Xu Fan didn't mind doing the cooking.

Killing the sheep, collecting blood, skinning...

After an hour, under Xu Fan's unique method of roasting, the roast whole lamb was ready.

At this moment, under Xu Fan's envious gaze, Wang Yulun took out two small jars of Spirit Wine.

"Haha, how can there be meat without wine?" Wang Yulun said.

"A storage bag, looks like you really caught the attention of the sect elders. Congratulations." Xu Fan said with a smile. It seemed that the rumors were true.

"And Spirit Wine. You must have spent a lot of money on this. These two jars of Spirit Wine are probably worth about 10 Spirit Stones."

"If you have something to say, just go ahead. In consideration for these things, I'll add a little to your success rate."

Xu Fan took a small jar of Spirit Wine and squinted at Wang Yulun.

"Senior Brother, I have decided to join the sect's Battle Hall. The Elder who sees potential in me belongs to the Battle Hall."

"In the future, I may not have time to stay in the sect for long, so I made a special trip to see you."

"Brother Xu, I won't forget the life-saving grace you've given me. It's just that the tasks I have to go through to enter Battle Hall are extremely dangerous."

"If I accidentally encounter danger and fail, I may never see you again, Brother Xu."

At this moment, Xu Fan thought to himself, this cunning kid is finally showing some smarts, using an opposition strategy against him.

"Good food, good wine, don't talk about these discouraging things. You'll definitely live a good life."

"Alright~"

After a satisfying meal and a full belly, Wang Yulun was about to leave disappointedly when a beam of light suddenly hit him. He caught it—it was two Jade Slips.

"Remember, only by living well can you achieve greatness."

Xu Fan's voice was heard.
