“Now, I will impart unto you the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique and then demonstrate it once for you. Open up your memory.” Zhang Dao Xuan slowly extended his finger, a bright light emerged, touching Lin Yi’s forehead.

Lin Yi immediately felt a surge of alchemy knowledge flood into his mind, primarily about the piano-refining alchemy technique. This made him marvel at the simplicity and efficiency of transfer between cultivators.

The impartation through Divine Sense is not only convenient but also permanently engraved in one’s memory, making it impossible to forget.

However, after receiving all of the information, he found that there was no cultivation experience related to this alchemy technique.

Subsequently, a pop-up box appeared in his vision, “[Piano-refining Alchemy Technique] EXP +1.”

Seeing the pop-up, Lin Yi immediately opened the title panel, and indeed, the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique was at the beginner’s level- without any cultivation experience, it could be directly learnt?

The previous techniques like the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, Divine Shadow Dharma, including the Thunder spell, were in a deactivated state after being taught through the Jade Slip.

He suddenly remembered that when he was learning the Sword Control Technique, even after being imparted through a Jade Slip, it was directly activated. At the time, he presumed it was because he had already achieved the Great Perfection in the Object Manipulation Spell, hence it was natural for him to learn the Sword Control Technique.

At this point, he gradually gained some insight. The Wind Transformation Technique required drawing in the wind, Spiritual Shadow Dharma required the creation of one’s illusory shadow, and the Thunder Spell required attracting thunder into one’s dantian.

These three techniques required either the incorporation of external objects into the body or the creation of external objects. How could one activate the technique without attracting external objects? Should the system auto-generate them?

However, techniques like Swordsmanship and Alchemy do not necessitate the inclusion of external materials. After being taught, they naturally appear on the panel.

If this is indeed the case, it would make the cultivation of techniques and spells relatively easy in the future.

Lin Yi calmed his mind and meditated for a while, admiring Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan for his ability to create such an exquisite alchemy technique.

One could say, rather than refining, it feels more like strumming various materials, yet it manages to increase the success rate and improve the quality of the pill.

After reflecting briefly, he slowly opened his eyes and gave a respectful bow to Zhang Dao Xuan, “I am grateful for my master’s teachings. However, why isn’t there any cultivation experience?” At the same time, he also voiced his confusion.

With a smile, Zhang Dao Xuan said: “While some techniques and spells can truly benefit from cultivation experiences, the Alchemy Techniques are different. Everyone perceives the techniques differently.”

“If one completely borrows cultivation experience from predecessors, it would only interfere with their perception. In the end, they can only follow behind and will never be able to surpass the predecessors.”

“Therefore, I can only teach you the Alchemy Dao but cannot give you my cultivation experiences.”

“I see. I appreciate your elucidation, master.” Lin Yi bowed deeply. What Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan wanted was not just a disciple who could inherit his Alchemy Dao, but rather, someone who could surpass it based on that foundation.

Zhang Dao Xuan gently nodded, then strode to the Alchemy Furnace. He said to Lin Yi, “Come along. Although I am a divided spirit and can’t refine alchemy in reality, I can demonstrate it to you by means of an illusion.”

Lin Yi quickly walked to the Alchemy Furnace and sat on a mat. Concurrently, he equipped the [Student] title.

He wanted to verify if under Zhang Dao Xuan’s divided spirit’s guidance, he could gain an increase in his cultivation levels.

If successful, it would imply that he could borrow from the divided spirit’s teachings to absorb the original cultivation levels of the Dan God. This further proves the strength of the title system.

Zhang Dao Xuan seated himself opposite the Alchemy Furnace and with a wave of his hand, some materials appeared on the table beside him.

Lin Yi glanced over and recognized them as the various materials required to refine a Golden Elixir. They appeared illusory but seemed incredibly realistic.

“Lin Yi, watch carefully. The key to the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique is to inspect these materials like examining piano strings,” Zhang Dao Xuan said solemnly.

Next, his finger lightly plucked, and the materials on the table floated and flew in correct sequence as required for refining.

A glow formed on Zhang Dao Xuan’s fingers as he brushed across the materials. Through Lin Yi’s eyes, he saw an invisible thread connecting the alchemy materials and Zhang Dao Xuan.

Even when the materials entered the Alchemy Furnace, he could manipulate them as he desired through these threads, maximizing the materials’ medicinal properties.

As each material was added to the Alchemy Furnace, Lin Yi observed the situation inside the furnace through the Spirit Wood Technique.

Even during the process of melting by alchemy fire, Zhang Dao Xuan’s fingers never ceased their playing, and the materials inside the furnace continuously turned over, ensuring every part received enough heat from the alchemy fire.

After all the materials had melted adequately, it was time for fusion. With the strumming of the fingers, the materials beautifully integrated with each other at perfect angles, allowing the fusion process to be intricately controlled.

If any deviation occurred during the fusion, the process could be instantly halted and even corrected.

Since it was an illusory demonstration, the progress of alchemy advanced rapidly. Even during the final nourishing stage of the materials, his fingers continued to play, allowing each part of the materials to be perfectly nurtured by the fire in the furnace
