Chapter 440: I've Learned It, Truly Learned It

Lu Xuan followed Guan Wan into an elegantly furnished room. Inside, five cultivators sat scattered around, each displaying considerable cultivation prowess, with the least among them being at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Sister Guan, you've arrived! And who's this behind you? Seems somewhat unfamiliar," one of the five inquired, their eyes laced with curiosity as they turned towards Lu Xuan. A silver-haired elder woman asked about his origins.

"This is Junior Brother Lu Xuan," Guan Wan introduced, "A name you might have heard of. He's a genius in the cultivation of spiritual plants that has appeared in our sect in recent years, possessing terrifying talent in this domain. Recently, he's successfully cultivated a batch of Hidden Yuan Grass and Five Elements Fruit for the Pill Hall, many of which were of excellent quality."

"Nice to meet you all," Lu Xuan greeted respectfully, viewing them as ripe opportunities for his benefit.

"So, it's Junior Brother Lu Xuan. I've heard much about you. If there's any chance you could assist us in cultivating spiritual plants, I hope you won't refuse," one of them responded warmly.

"Of course not. Should any senior brother or sister need my assistance, I'll do my utmost to cultivate the plants," Lu Xuan quickly assured, eagerly awaiting such opportunities.

"Junior Brother Lu Xuan, as a spiritual plant cultivator, what brings you to our Pill Hall's exchange meeting?" a bald, browless middle-aged man with a flushed face inquired.

"Junior Brother Lu has joined the Pill Hall and learned several pill recipes, showing remarkable talent. I took the initiative to bring him here to learn from our senior brothers and sisters," Guan Wan explained with a smile.

"I see!" the group acknowledged before a round of hearty laughter erupted from the bald, browless man. "Though you're proficient in spiritual plants, Junior Brother, when it comes to alchemy, there's still a gap between us."

"I look forward to learning from all the senior brothers and sisters," Lu Xuan said modestly, positioning himself in a corner with a patient and unobtrusive demeanor.

The group lightly chuckled, not taking the newcomer seriously as they launched into their own discussions.

"I've had a recent insight into fire control techniques, which allows for finer manipulation of the alchemic flame, thus slightly increasing the success rate of pill concoction," the bald, browless man began, his face reddening further as he demonstrated his technique with a stream of red flame that morphed into various shapes.

As the discussions continued, Lu Xuan's expression revealed a trace of disdain. The fire control technique demonstrated by the man was inferior to his own skills. Having mastered the Flame Manipulation Technique from the experience packs within the orbs, Lu Xuan had achieved a profound understanding of this skill, capable of manipulating flames with ease.

The notion of improving the success rate of pill concoction with such a technique was irrelevant to him, given his possession of the suitable Celestial Azure Dan Fire for alchemy.

"Well-endowed in resources and skills, I can easily master the art of alchemy," Lu Xuan thought to himself, outwardly maintaining a respectful demeanor but inwardly dismissive of the teachings.

After the bald, browless cultivator finished speaking, two other alchemists shared their insights on pill concoction, discussing various aspects of pill-making that proved enlightening for Lu Xuan.

"Still, nothing beats my orbs," Lu Xuan reflected, recognizing his own alchemical talent more clearly.

An elderly woman with silver hair then spoke, "I've recently made significant progress in concocting the second-grade Spirit Nurturing Pill, reaching a high level of mastery I'd like to share with you all."

"Such a high level of alchemy is indeed rare, even within the Pill Hall," the crowd remarked, acknowledging the difficulty of achieving such mastery.

Lu Xuan paid keen attention to the elderly woman's speech, finding her insights to match some of his own advanced understanding in the field.

"Am I the true alchemy master here?" he wondered confidently.

Noticed by the silver-haired woman for his somewhat distracted demeanor, she commented, "Junior Brother Lu, the alchemy insights I shared might be too complex for someone new to alchemy. Once you reach that level, you'll naturally understand. For now, focus on solidifying your alchemy foundations."

"Have you learned anything, Junior Brother?" she asked with a hint of pride, proud to elevate a second-grade pill recipe to such heights.

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior Sister. I've learned it, truly learned it," Lu Xuan replied, bowing. He had no intention of undermining her, considering her words neither harmed his interests nor his dignity.

Acknowledging the silver-haired woman's achievements without challenging her allowed Lu Xuan to maintain a low profile, preventing any potential backlash from revealing his true alchemy prowess too soon.

Keeping to himself, cultivating spiritual plants, and slowly accumulating strength through his orbs, Lu Xuan preferred the subtler path to success, hoping maybe even to gain something rare from the silver-haired sister.
