Chapter 222

After returning home, Yu Su noticed that Jian Yunchuan was a bit silent.

Yu Su asked with concern, "A'die, what's on your mind?"

Jian Yunchuan scratched his head, "It's nothing, just suddenly realized that I'm different from ordinary people."

Yu Su quickly understood, "Is it because of the issue with spirit stones and silver?"

Jian Yunchuan nodded.

Yu Su sat down and said, "It's inevitable. During the Qi refining stage, the difference between cultivators and ordinary people isn't significant. At most, we can perform some spells and live a bit longer. When you reach the Foundation Building stage, pass through the Heavenly Tribulation, undergo marrow cleansing, and achieve soul refinement, you can cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings. As long as there's abundant spiritual energy in the world, you can live for two hundred years without eating or drinking."

"In fact, Jian Yunchuan should have noticed this point early on. It's just that because they haven't changed their past habits since the foundation building, indulging in eating, drinking, and sleeping, living as if they were ordinary people, Jian Yunchuan almost forgot that he is a foundation-building cultivator.

"True, it's quite unusual," Jian Yunchuan said.

Yu Su patted his shoulder, "It's okay, Dad. The three of us can live for a long time."

He made so much effort, hoping that his family could live harmoniously in the future.

And none of the family members lag behind.

Each of them has extraordinary talents.

Jian Yunchuan thinks that with their family of four, all cultivators, they can pull each other up and not worry about being separated from their loved ones even if they live a long life.

The slight melancholy in Jian Yunchuan's heart immediately dissipated.

He's not a person with many thoughts, and he quickly forgot about this little episode.

--

After a few days, Yu Feng prepared the classroom for the classes.

The first lesson is alchemy.

The students are cultivators above the fifth level of Qi refinement, including a total of thirty, including Jian Yunchuan.

"Alchemy masters, also known as alchemists, emphasize talent in this profession. Firstly, the spiritual roots must be compatible. Among the five-element spiritual roots, wood and fire are the most suitable. Secondly, it is the cultivators who possess the water elemental roots."

"The second point is to have a sensitive perception of herbs."

"The third point, alchemists have their own internal cultivation techniques..."

Yu Su systematically explained the common knowledge of alchemists to the crowd, and then spent two days selecting and choosing three cultivators, including Yu Ye, Yu Nian, and Yu Zhu, to impart the methods of alchemy.

Because being an alchemist is quite unique, when imparting to these three, Yu Su specifically asked if they were willing to learn. After all, choosing to become an alchemist means focusing on this path, and other cultivation paths can only be secondary.

Yu Ye was the first to express, "I'm willing to learn the path of alchemy."

Yu Zhu also quickly said, "Lord Yu Su, I'm willing too."

Yu Ye was not very interested in fighting from the beginning, and the basic cultivation technique he chose was relatively mild. So when Yu Su proposed the path of alchemy, he immediately felt interested.

Yu Zhu had been studying medicine with Yu Li before. She was very interested in herbs and medical skills, and her own spiritual roots were compatible. She readily agreed.

It was Yu Nian who hesitated, "Lord Yu Su, I..."

Yu Su encouraged, "It's okay, just speak your mind."

Yu Nian felt guilty, "I prefer manipulating the power of water. I want to practice water attribute techniques."

Yu Su nodded, "That's fine. Follow your own preferences."

Yu Nian lowered his head, "I'm sorry."

Yu Su said, "There's nothing to apologize for. The path of cultivation is long. You must choose a path you don't dislike, or you won't go far. It's good that you can be honest."

Only then did Yu Nian breathe a sigh of relief.

Yu Su looked at Yu Ye and Yu Zhu, "From now on, you two will follow me to learn alchemy."

Yu Ye and Yu Zhu responded with joy, "Yes!"

...

The second lesson is about talismans.

There are no spiritual root restrictions on this. Yu Su requires everyone to learn, and those interested can delve deeper, while those not interested must have a basic understanding of talismans.

Half an hour of talisman lessons every day is the rule.

Everyone accepted this very well.

When it came to the forging class, Yu Su followed the pattern of selecting alchemists, screened a group of people, and finally confirmed the willingness, leaving Yu Wu and Yu Shi, both of whom coincidentally had fire spiritual roots and were interested in forging, willing to cultivate the path of forging.

Yu Wu and Yu Shi were handed over to Lu Yan.

With Lu Yan's current level, it's completely sufficient to teach them.

--

The courses were arranged in this way, taking advantage of the winter when there was nothing much to do, and everyone worked hard to learn.

Yu Ye and Yu Zhu are truly outstanding talents.

With Yu Zhu's basic knowledge as a foundation, Yu Su wasn't surprised that she learned quickly. What surprised him was that Yu Ye also learned very quickly. He had an excellent memory, and he could memorize a basic pharmacopoeia from beginning to end in just a few days."

Yu Ye: "Since I started cultivating, I've noticed that my memory has been getting better. As long as it's something I want to remember, it stays in my mind, and I don't forget at all."

Yu Su couldn't help but envy after hearing this.

Yu Zhu silently watched Yu Ye and then turned to desperately memorize her books.

The group of students in the talisman class, like Yu Meng, simply couldn't concentrate on learning. Their talisman drawings were as chaotic as ghost symbols, truly unbearable to witness.

Yu Meng felt wronged, "Brother Yu Su, it's not that I'm not studying seriously. Those symbols just won't listen to me, and I keep drawing them wrong."

After contemplating Yu Meng's work for a while, Yu Su thought that Yu Meng probably belonged to the type of student who couldn't grasp the essence of talismans. His drawings lacked any method, and he probably didn't understand why he was drawing them that way.

Yu Su rubbed his forehead and decided not to force Yu Meng and the others to attend class anymore since the basic knowledge had already been taught.

"You don't need to come to talisman class anymore."

"Really?"

Yu Meng happily jumped up.

Quite a few others, about ten, were in the same situation as Yu Meng. After surviving the ordeal of learning to read and write, learning talismans nearly cost them their lives. Hearing that Yu Meng could stop attending, they all eagerly looked at Yu Su.

Yu Su took a deep breath, "You don't need to learn either."

Perfect, spare them, spare his own sanity!

In the evening, when he returned home, Yu Su complained to Lu Yan, "I really don't know what they're thinking. I explained it so simply, yet they managed to draw such chaotic symbols."

Lu Yan: "Don't get angry. If they don't want to learn, don't force them. Teach me."

Yu Su looked at him, "You need teaching too?"

This guy, Lu Yan, also had a freakish ability to learn. His memory was strong, and his comprehension was outstanding. He caught on quickly, making him the kind of student teachers love.

"Yes, I still have many things I don't understand. Can Teacher Yu Su teach me more?" Lu Yan said softly.

Yu Su widened his eyes, "..."

What is Teacher Yu Su, and how does this guy, Lu Yan, play better than him?

"Teacher Yu Su, is it okay?" Lu Yan had long noticed that Yu Su liked to hear him speak softly in his ear. Every time he did that, Yu Su's ears turned red.

So, he deliberately leaned down and said this sentence in Yu Su's ear.

Yu Su's face turned bright red, and his gaze fell on Lu Yan, "Teach, if you want to learn, I'll teach."

Lu Yan chuckled softly, "Teacher Yu Su, can you teach another subject first?"

Yu Su didn't follow Lu Yan's thought process for a moment. It wasn't until Lu Yan led him to the bed that he reacted.

In his mind, he dumbly said to the all-knowing system: "Little System, I think Lu Yan is the one who transmigrated. He plays better than me. I lost."

System: "Blocked. Don't talk to me."

...

Lu Yan was indeed quite skilled at playing. Yu Su was played until he felt limp, lying on the bed without wanting to move.

Lu Yan personally took care of his bath and massage.

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and Yu Zhou and Jian Yunchuan had long gone to sleep.

Otherwise, Yu Su would embarrassingly kick Lu Yan off the bed again.

--

Time passed through daily teaching.

By the time of the New Year, Yu Ye and Yu Zhu were already able to practice practical operations.

Yu Su asked Lu Yan to create a medicine cauldron for each of them, allowing them to refine medicine using the cauldron.

During the Qi refining stage, the amount of spiritual power that can be controlled is limited. The two mainly used the techniques of alchemy to drive the rotation of the cauldron on the spirit fire array. At first, they exploded the cauldron several times, but gradually, they found the knack.

By the end of the New Year, their progress had skyrocketed.

Yu Ye was bold, and Yu Zhu was meticulous.

Yu Ye had an excellent memory, while Yu Zhu spent more time memorizing and studying every day. They seemed to compete with each other in their studies.

When Yu Su checked their results, he found their progress unbelievably fast.

For such students, Yu Su was naturally delighted.

On the other hand, Yu Wu and Yu Shi in the forging class next door were not so fortunate. They struggled, but every time they saw Lu Yan's expression, they felt that they weren't working hard enough.

Lu Yan didn't scold them, but his expression alone made them feel like worthless rubbish.

Even the two big guys, Yu Wu and Yu Shi, couldn't help but cry privately.

"The leader's gaze is too scary. Every time he looks at me like that, I feel like I'm trash."

"Same here, sob, sob, I don't want to learn anymore."

After learning about this, Yu Su talked to Lu Yan, "Don't put too much pressure on them. Both of them are becoming overly anxious."

Lu Yan frowned, "They're just too stupid."

Clearly, when he was learning, he didn't need Yu Su to put in so much effort to teach him.

Isn't it easy to understand such simple things?

Yu Su, "..."

When Yu Wu and Yu Shi heard this, they probably wanted to cry again.

Yu Su could only advise, "Yu Wu and Yu Shi don't have talents as high as yours, and their comprehension abilities aren't as strong. They need more time to study. Be patient with them."

Lu Yan felt that he had been patient enough. Wasn't it considered patience if he didn't scold anyone?

But since Yu Su said so, he could only try not to give Yu Wu and Yu Shi a cold face.

Yu Wu and Yu Shi both felt like they had been spared from a life-threatening situation.

"Lord Yu Su, thank you for saving our lives." Yu Wu and Yu Shi secretly approached Yu Su.

Yu Su chuckled, "Lu Yan didn't scold you either. Don't be so afraid of him."

Yu Wu thought to himself, it's not about scolding or not, it's about the fact that a single look from him can be as intimidating as a knife.
