FIRST TRY

[ Note : All of the plant and medicine that I will write here is random or it's not even exist]

"Young lad! Wake up" The old master who Xi Youran currently called as Grandpa Yan violently wake her up as she jumped out from the bed because of the sudden movement. 

"W-what? earthquake?" Xi Youran who was so confused felt so embarrassed when she finally wakes up from her sleepiness. The old man was laughing at the corner while the little cat of her just yawn and continue sleeping. 

"GRANDPA YAN!!!" Xi Youran lost her mind and started to chase the old man around the room and then when she finally feel so tired, she stopped and walked to the small lake in front of the place that they currently occupied. When the cold water made a contact with her fair skin, Xi Youran felt so alive and then she started to strip without looking around then jumped into the lake and swim for a long time until she feels satisfied. 

"Ehem..." Someone coughed behind her and it was the old master. Xi Youran who was doesn't care for the spirit continue putting on her clothes. 

"You're so shameless..." The lazy voice is unfamiliar for Xi Youran and when she turned around, a half-naked with a long black haired guy was standing behind her while yawning.

"YOU! THE PERVERT!" Xi Youran still cannot recognize her own pet was blushing so hard. The old man was laughing his ass off but soon the dispute between them was settled as the beast introduced his name as Hiu. Xi Youran was doubting him but then Hiu returned to her small version of a white tiger, only then  Xi Youran believe it. 

"OK, that's enough. Now, let's begin your first day of training. First, go pluck some Green Herb and Morning Flower at the backyard. Your first task is to make a low-grade potion" Then the old man disappeared into the house. 

"This old man...how do I suppose to know those plant?" Xi Youran was left with her jaw hanging down as she feels so stupid at the moment but she proceeds to the backyard that the old man mentioned. There so many herbs growing in the backyard but the weeds is just as much as the herbs there. 

"How-" Before Xi Youran could say anything more, her head suddenly filled with so many herbs details. She was rather confused but without wasting more time, she walked a little further inside and pluck some of the green herbs and morning flower. 

"Grandpa Yan! I am back" Xi Youran was looking for Grandpa Yan that's nowhere to be seen. But soon, a cloud of smoke was seen from the opposite side of the backyard as Xi Youran saw the old man was there. Xi Youran comes to him with the herbs still in her hand. 

"You've come? This is where you will learn how to mix and control the essence of making a low-grade potion. Until you become a five ranked alchemist, you will continue using this stove, and manually control the fire with your essence. When you successfully become a sixth-ranked alchemist, you will start using your Dou Sheng to make a more high grade of the potion but you will also have to learn martial arts to balance your Qi in your body. As I mention to you before your Dantian is complicated" Each word that the old man told her reminds of her family that she left without any words for them. 

'They must be very worried. But I will never walk the same path again. I have had enough but I am not sure if I can do this. That bastard TianZi is also a returner..." Xi Youran clenched her fist as her eyes filled with anger and hate. 

"You may begin" That snapped Xi Youran from her daydreaming and right now she is confused. She tried to find some clue in her head but it was too complicated. Her harsh training begins and on her first try, she failed and that encourages her to try more but she keeps failing. The old man stopped the alchemist training and start teaching Xi Youran the basic of martial arts. The current body of Xi Youran was not used to the Qi inside her body and not to mention, she is now a Dou Saint. Xi Youran needs to practice her body to get familiar with the enormous Qi inside her or else, the Qi will turn to poison and death will soon come to her. 

[NOTE~~~I used Battle Through the heaven for Qi ranking~Hahaha] [I will skip the training to three months because I am so lazy to write the sad and happy moments of Xi Youran][I will proceed to her progress in the next chapter][Right now I am going to write about her family and the villain of the story]

"Where the hell did Xi Youran gone...I do not understand, why would she run away from her long-awaited marriage with TianZi..." Jiang Youen sighed while looking outside the yard where Xi Youran often played around with her little sister. 

"Why did she left...She can always tell us what is bothering her instead of just leaving like this. No traces even a letter...what if she didn't run away but kidnapped?" Xi Mei was having another yet possible thing could happen to her daughter. They were so worried but at that time, they could not tell a single soul about their daughter sudden disappearance. 

"It's been two weeks in a row, Xi Youran still not fine? Are you lying to me or she just doesn't want to see me?!" TianZi getting tired of the same excuse that Jiang Youen told him every time he comes to the Jiang's main house. Jiang Youen was out of choice so he told TianZi the truth but change the fact that Xi Youran was actually running away because she doesn't want to marry him. 

"Xi Youran left home to improve herself. She told us that right now, she is nothing than a small pebble in front of Prince TianZi. She will be back with the qualifications of being your woman" Deep inside Jiang Youen's heart, It filled with guilty but there's nothing he can do because Xi Youran's sudden disappearance is likely will destroy the Jiang clan if he told the truth. 

"R-really?" TianZi was doubting Jiang Youen's word but deep inside, he was jumping in happiness because Xi Youran was doing such things to be worthy as his bride-to-be. While at that moment, Xi Youran was cursing whoever is talking about her because of the sudden sneezing, she lost composure and failed again just to make a simple low-grade potion. 

"What? Xi Youran ran away from her home because of TianZi?" JianZi was shocked and asked the masked man in front of him to trace the location of Xi Youran. He doubting that Xi Youran ran away because she wanted to be worthy of him. 'I know very well about you, Xi Youran. I have been watching you for two lives and in these lives, I will not give you up even to TianZi. I do not wish to see you be hurt again' JianZi was actually have been watching every move of Xi Youran but he becomes careless that now she disappeared without a trace.
