After saying that, Shi Fengrong turned around and walked into her pill room, closing the door with a bang.

Li Ming was speechless.

Was this really an apprenticeship?

He looked left and right, but there was no one else there.

Why did he always meet such people?

He had followed Liu Mengyun’s words, but she had never given him any explanation. However, the pill refinement master in front of him was even more overboard. She threw him to the side and let him study everything himself.

When Li Ming stepped into the study, he was instantly dumbfounded.

This was too exaggerated!

In the study, hundreds of colorful jade slips floated in the air like naughty children.

On each piece of jade, there were swirls of different colors. It was these swirls that lifted the pieces of jade up and down.

“Fasting pill!” Li Ming muttered to himself for a moment before calling out in a low voice.

The jade slips danced in the air without any movement.

This was wrong! However, there was nothing else he could do in the study. Li Ming scratched his head in distress, unable to think of what to do.

Should he use his divine sense?

After hesitating for a moment, he began using his divine sense. When his divine sense touched one of the swirls, a piece of information entered his mind.

The “Illustrated Book of Pill Formulas” was written by Loos Cultivators Xiao Lingjie and Dong Ming. It recorded more than 400 kinds of pill formulas or recipes.

Li Ming was immediately interested. He used his divine sense to scan the jade slips, and the information on the jade slips appeared in his mind.

Soon, he found a jade slip that contained the method to refine fasting pills. There was a total of three basic methods to refine fasting pills.

This was one of the most basic pills, and its effect was very simple. It filled one’s stomach. After eating it, one could maintain a state of satiety for a long time. It was considered a relatively practical spirit pill.

When he took the jade out, it flew towards him automatically.

He took the jade slip and injected a trace of spiritual power into it. A method of refining fasting pills surfaced on it.

However, Li Ming was once again dumbfounded!

“Yellow stone, the fire of three, the air of clear dew, descent from the sky.”

Li Ming recognized every word, but when all the words were put together, he was utterly confused.

Calm down. He had to calm down!

Li Ming kept reminding himself that not to go crazy.

In his opinion, entering the inner sect meant that his good days were coming! But now, he realized that he had made a huge mistake!

He had merely jumped from one big pit to the next. Moreover, he had taken the initiative to jump into the bigger pit, and he had even spent so much effort!

Previously, he was still worried about not being able to find a suitable master, but now, so what if he had found a pill refinement master?

After a long while, he finally managed to calm himself down a little.

Li Ming, who had been completely ignored by his master, was furious.

It was just a fasting pill. What was the big deal? Was this not just a simple task?

After spending some time, he finally searched through all the hundreds of jade slips in the room. There were a total of 517 jade slips.

There were only 21 jade slips that he could learn.

The 21 selected jade slips floated in front of him.

As for the [Fire Cloud Pill Chapter], Li Ming was not interested and threw it to the side.

As for the [Great Origin Pill Chapter], he threw it to the back of his mind.

Li Ming’s eyes fell on the book, [Introduction to Pill Refinement]. His eyes lit up and he grabbed it. This was exactly what he needed.

He began to read the book with great interest. Not long after, he was completely immersed in it.

The content inside was very fresh to him. It was as if he had opened a door to a whole new world.

[Introduction to Pill Refinement] was not anything profound. It only talked about the most basic pill refinement techniques, including the proportion of various materials, how to use the pill furnace, how to control the flame, and so on.

When he looked up again, the sky was already pitch black. He did not even realize that he had already spent several hours in the study.

He let out a long breath, stood up, and stretched his body. His eyes were still a little blurry as if he was recalling what he had read just now.

Although the [Introduction to Pill Refinement] was not a very profound jade slip, the information within was extremely detailed and could not be discounted.

Li Ming knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Whether his master taught him or not, he looked at the jade slip again and again as if he had found a treasure.

In the following days, he stayed in the study.

Perhaps it would come in handy at some point in the future. If he worked harder now, he would not have to worry about it in the future.

If one day, he was penniless, he could use his knowledge to exchange for crystals.

Li Ming chuckled.

It was not until he was dizzy from reading that he remembered all the contents of the 21 jade slips.

He suddenly remembered that his master had said that he could use the pill refining room on the right. Now, he could not wait to go to the pill refining room.

In the middle of the room was a two-meter-tall bronze cauldron with three legs and a round belly.

There were some cushions and tables near the walls, and many items were piled on them. There were also ten sets of medicinal herbs that his master had prepared for him.

Li Ming walked around the furnace and muttered to himself, “So stingy.”

However, one should not underestimate the huge object in front of him. In fact, it was a first-grade pill furnace.

The most crucial part to the setup was the Fire Formation at the bottom of the furnace. There was an image of the yin-yang eight trigrams on the furnace. As long as one injected spiritual power into it, they could control the formation.

When refining pills in the furnace, the control of the flame was the most crucial part. Just like the [Three Weaves Flowing Fire] that Li Ming had seen earlier, there were three vertical and three horizontal lines interweaving.

Li Ming placed one hand on the eight trigrams board, and spiritual power seeped out of his body. A flame rose beneath the cauldron.

He followed the instructions in the [Introduction to Pill Refinement] and carefully controlled the flame. The Fire Formation in this first-grade pill furnace was not very powerful. It only had six different forms. It did not take long for Li Ming to become familiar with it.

The more he used it, the more Li Ming felt that this method of controlling flames was similar to the beginner [Crimson Flame Art].

The cultivation techniques that cultivators practiced were generally divided into five types. They were either yin, yang, wind, fire, or lightning. Everything in the world had its own system. The [Crimson Flame Art] was a fire-attribute cultivation technique of the five elements cultivation techniques.

However, even though it was once popular in the world, after the rise of sword techniques, it gradually became an independent system. Most of the people who studied this system were loose cultivators.

Li Ming wondered if the principles of the art of pill refinement and cultivation were the same..
