Chapter 134

To Chui Yim, necrogliphism was far too distant for him to think about.

The Yellow Springs Ladys matter had ended, but Chor Shing Chit was still unconscious. Therefore, Chui Yim had no choice but to stay in Southern Ping for the time being. He didnt let this time go to waste as he studied alchemy and medicine under Ping Chi. The name Doctor Odd came from Ping Chis bold and imaginative research style, supported by the foundation he built over a hundred years.

That was why Ping Chi liked Chui Yim so much. No matter how imaginative one was, your capability of putting those thoughts to use mattered as well. Under Chui Tins teaching, Chui Yim had a strong foundation in medicine, and he was very suitable to learn from Ping Chi.

What was the elixir in the air yesterday? Curious, Chui Yim asked. He could tell that the elixir in the sky yesterday was why the Yellow Springs Lady failed to escape.

In alchemy, elixirs arent just for consumption. There are other variants of elixirs too. Poisonous elixirs, hallucination elixirs and more. The elixir you saw yesterday was a formation elixir.

Formation elixir? Chui Yim asked.

Mhmm. Ping Chi nodded. Formation elixirs arent for consumption. It works like a treasure, and you get a formation elixir by imbuing a formation into an elixir. The elixir you saw yesterday resulted from the hard work of all five clans of Southern Ping when Southern Ping was first founded, the Southern Mountain Elixir.

The elixir works great in the Southern Mountain. Here, as long as we have that elixir, not even five-chambered or thousand-gliphic state cultivators can attack us easily. The Southern Mountain Elixir is Southern Pings secret weapon, and its in the Ping Clans hands since our clan is the leader of this city.

Besides being a defence mechanism, the elixir symbolises a clans standing in Southern Ping. The clan holding this elixir is the leader of this city.

I see. Alchemy sounds interesting, Chui Yim pondered out loud.

Yes, it is. But never give up on medicine in exchange for alchemy, Ping Chi spoke seriously. This is something that I will only tell younot even Little Ching knows. The Ping Clan has always been the worlds top alchemy clan, and Ping Clan members arent usually as proficient in medicine. But to them, this is much expected and their strong beliefs arent something that I can influence.

Alchemy and medicine work together, but I always felt that medicine comes first as doctors can only treat the patient if he understands medicine well enough. When alchemy was founded, it was meant to assist doctors in treatments instead of being supplements to cultivators. That was the main purpose of alchemy, so putting medicine before alchemy is the way to go. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))



Its too risky for us to lose this Outstanding Talent Competition. The Mo-Yung Clan rose up too quickly for us to notice. If we lose this round, well have to give up our leadership position to them. Elders, make it clear to your respective disciples that the Ping Clan must win this time! Ping San Yat stood up.



During this time, Chui Yim improved drastically in alchemy and medicine. Chui Tin left too soon; he only managed to teach Chui Yim the basics of medicine, and Chui Yim could only learn more advanced knowledge from his books. However, Ping Chi made up for this weakness. On the other hand, Ping Chi was stunned by how fast Chui Yim learned. In just two weeks, Chui Yim had already finished absorbing all the basic knowledge he taught.

He might be new to alchemy, but he was learning at lightning speed. As for medicine To Ping Chi, Chui Yim would definitely reach the great master stage as long as he broke through his innate chamber.

Just then, Ping Chi was informed about the Outstanding Talent Competition.

Chui Boy, theres something I want to discuss with you.

What do you want? Chui Yim stared at him warily.

Whats with your reaction! I just want to discuss something! Ping Chi replied angrily.

Hmph! Chui Yim glared at him, increasingly suspicious. I cant let my guard down around an old fox like you!

Whatever. Theres an upcoming competition on alchemy and medicine. You can state any conditions as long as you win on the Ping Clans behalf, Ping Chi sighed as he spoke.

Anything? Chui Yims eyes lit up brightly. Done!



At night, Chui Yim arrived at Ping Chings courtyard under her invitation. Her maidservant treated Chui Yim with respect as Ping Ching ordered, but she did it reluctantly. As Ping Chings maidservant, she knew Ping Chings actual identity, but it was kept a secret from the rest of the clan. Seeing how Ping Ching welcomed Chui Yim at night made the maidservant uneasy.

Is the young mistress planning to
