Chu Xingchen helped Li Xingtian onto his wooden bed.

Using his own spiritual power, he quickly sensed the condition inside Li Xingtian's body. Chu Xingchen frowned slightly because Li Xingtian's situation was indeed not optimistic.

After all, the elder of the Qingfeng Sect was at the Golden Core stage. Even if he held back to capture him and light the Heaven Lamp, Li Xingtian, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, couldn't withstand the blow. At this moment, Li Xingtian's internal organs were severely injured.

Especially his meridians, which were shattered by the powerful spiritual power.

However, looking at Li Xingtian's expression, he found no trace of pain.

As expected of someone reborn, a true tough guy.

But in this situation, relying solely on self-recovery might not be enough; he needed some carefully refined healing elixirs.

"Kid, you're quite resilient," Chu Xingchen praised, then turned his gaze to Li Yingling. "Disciple, start the alchemy."

Li Yingling's eyes lit up. Although she detested consuming her master's pills, it didn't stop her from wanting to see others eat them.

She excitedly agreed, "Yes, Master."

She walked happily to the pot and began to light the fire and boil water.

Chu Xingchen checked the remaining spirit herbs to see if any could be used for healing.

Fortunately, there were a few healing herbs left in the spatial ring.

Let's refine a pot for the future disciple! After consuming it, he should be grateful and worship me.

Chu Xingchen crudely removed the roots of the herbs and began the alchemy process.

As the clear water in the pot was infused with several green spirit herbs, it started to turn a murky green.

A pungent herbal smell began to permeate the air.

However, Li Yingling showed no discomfort and even watched the gradually murky potion with delight.

After all, she wasn't the one who had to drink it this time.

When the water in the pot was reduced by half, Chu Xingchen added the final ingredient, the Blue Moon Flower.

As the blue, enchanting flower was added, the greenish water began to bubble with a dark green hue.

Chu Xingchen nodded in satisfaction, then used a strong flame to reduce the liquid, extracting the final sacred healing medicine with spiritual power.

Li Yingling looked at the drop of potion, which was even more striking in color than herself, and felt a sense of relief.

She now believed that her master wasn't trying to mess with her before; it was just that iron pot alchemy was like this.

As her master had said, the stories in mortal books were not to be trusted.

One must experience cultivation themselves to truly understand!

At this moment, Li Xingtian, who was enduring the pain, propped himself up and saw the dark green drop of liquid enveloped in spiritual power, looking murky and unappealing.

A bad premonition slowly arose... Could it be that this was meant to be swallowed?

Chu Xingchen manipulated the potion to Li Xingtian's mouth and smiled, "Come on! Open your mouth. My alchemy skills are decent; swallow this, and you'll be safe."

Li Xingtian, who could face pain without changing his expression, finally showed a change in his face.

This was just a greenish blob of liquid; how could it be considered a pill?

And who had ever heard of using a pot for alchemy?

A true man could face blood and pain, but not a broom tainted with filth.

He hesitated, resisted, and was at a loss for words.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him had saved his life, Li Xingtian would definitely have resisted and shoved this strangely scented potion into the other's mouth.

But seeing the senior's confident expression, Li Xingtian couldn't bear to refuse. He closed his eyes, put on a brave face, and opened his mouth.

At worst, he'd repay this life!

Indeed, the taste of the potion matched its color.

A rotten scent with a horrifying bitterness spread from his tongue to his soul.

Li Xingtian's expression became increasingly grim.

However, to his surprise, as the intense rejection and burning sensation traveled down his esophagus, the components of the potion began to slowly nourish his meridians and damaged internal organs.

The physical pain suddenly subsided.

Yet Li Xingtian felt even more uncomfortable after consuming the potion.

His entire mouth was filled with bitterness.

From the esophagus to the stomach, his whole body rejected the potion.

Chu Xingchen naturally understood that this concoction might not taste great, so he coughed lightly and comforted, "After all, good medicine tastes bitter. Just endure it."

As the first test subject, Li Yingling empathized, "Master... this isn't something you can just endure."

Chu Xingchen turned and cast a meaningful glance at his first disciple.

Sensing her master's gaze, Li Yingling quickly said, "The taste is actually quite acceptable! There's no need to endure."

Chu Xingchen wouldn't say much about such trivial matters. This journey had been smooth, thanks in large part to this first disciple.

After confirming that Li Xingtian was mostly fine, he began to ask Li Yingling: "I see you've started to grasp the basics of this divine ability. How do you feel?"

Hearing her master's question, Li Yingling thought about how it had taken her days to barely get started.

She assumed her master was being sarcastic again but didn't dare to retort.

Li Yingling unconsciously twirled her dark hair with her right hand, her fair face blushing slightly. She turned her head, a bit embarrassed, and said, "It's quite powerful, but a bit difficult."

Chu Xingchen was taken aback. You've only practiced for a few days and already learned it, and you call that difficult?

As expected of a genius disciple, performing a humblebrag in front of the master.

Chu Xingchen coughed lightly, assuming a dignified masterly tone, "Ahem, just practice diligently!"

"Yes, Master!"

***

In front of the campfire at the ruined temple at night.

Chu Xingchen distributed the roasted rabbit head to today's greatest contributor, Li Yingling, and gave half a rabbit to Li Xingtian.

Li Xingtian was no longer in serious trouble and could sit up.

The potion, despite its unpleasant taste, was actually quite effective.

Li Xingtian felt it worked better than ordinary healing pills.

Looking at the half rabbit, which was visually appealing and aromatic, Li Xingtian glanced at Li Yingling, who was happily gnawing on the rabbit head.

He had to admit, watching a beautiful fairy gnaw on a rabbit head was quite memorable.

Li Xingtian didn't move, instead staring at the steaming half rabbit.

It wasn't that he wasn't hungry, but this rabbit... he had no reason to eat it.

"Eat," Chu Xingchen said, looking at the silent Li Xingtian. "This rabbit doesn't come with a contract of selling oneself."

Li Xingtian understood the implication in Chu Xingchen's words, but he hadn't thought along those lines. He quickly explained:"No, it's just that I haven't repaid the life-saving grace of the senior..."

Chu Xingchen watched Li Xingtian's earnest explanation, nodding with a smile, but under the table, he was frantically gesturing to Li Yingling.

Beloved disciple! Assist me quickly!

Li Yingling, happily gnawing on the rabbit head, noticed Chu Xingchen's gestures and immediately understood her master's intention.

As a self-proclaimed considerate disciple, Li Yingling never undermined her master at crucial moments.

She put down the rabbit head and replied in a cold tone: "Enough, no need to explain. You're penniless now. Not to mention that your life was saved by my master, even your greatest opportunity was given to you by him.

You always think our Heavenly Dao Alliance of the Central Continent is trying to deceive you, but ask yourself, are you even worthy?

My master's willingness to give you a chance is your fortune. I don't understand what he sees in you, but personally, I think.

With your aptitude, you're not worthy of joining our Heavenly Dao Alliance!"
