Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 663 Chess Tao Spirit-Entering (Two in One)_3

After analyzing, they realized the technique used to refine the medicinal power within the pill was exceedingly profound, even surpassing theirs.

When they inquired further, they found out that their old friend Lin Shanhai had picked up a treasure.

Seeing the envious looks of his old friends, Lin Shanhai secretly chuckled to himself and picked up his tea, tasting it indifferently.

However, after taking just a couple of sips, he frowned slightly. The medicinal fragrance was too overpowering, making the tea really hard to drink.

This kid didn’t know how to pick something good… He thought to himself in complaint, but the thought of his hundred-year-old stash of Dragon Ginseng Tea, which had almost been exposed, much improved his mood.

“If the seniors wish to see, this young one will shamelessly show his skills, no need to exchange pill formulas,” Li Hao said with a smile.

The four were taken aback, not expecting Li Hao to be so easy-going. They exchanged glances, suddenly feeling a bit guilty.

“This… There’s no reason to learn for free, young man, just tell us what you need, and as long as we can do it, we will try our best to help you,” Zhao Yingzhen said seriously, stopping his fiddling with a wooden device in his hands.

“Exactly.”

Another elder, Sun Zhengshang, nodded in agreement.

“As for me, I don’t need anything at the moment,” Li Hao shook his head.

The group looked at each other, all feeling a bit of a headache. With Lin Shanhai there, they couldn’t just shamelessly take advantage of a younger generation.

But owing a favor was even more troublesome.

Lin Shanhai sensed their difficulty and, with a smile, said, “Since Qingfeng is willing to show you, just watch for now and talk about it later. If Qingfeng runs into trouble in the future, just lend him a hand slightly.”

With Lin Shanhai having spoken, the four no longer hesitated and immediately invited Li Hao to demonstrate his skills.

Li Hao went to the pill chamber, selected some medicinal materials, and started to stir them in the air.

Watching Li Hao’s actions, all four widened their eyes.

Stir-frying?

The way he handled it, if it weren’t for the medicinal materials in his hands, they’d think the young man was cooking!

And indeed, their feeling was right, Li Hao was actually cooking, refining through his cooking.

Soon, the cooking of the medicinal materials was finished, and a burst of medicinal fragrance spread out.

The four were astonished, quickly extending their Divine Thoughts to observe closely, and were immediately shocked.

The strength of the medicine in the materials had really been simply stir-fried out!

Using such medicinal power for further alchemy, no wonder the purity improved and the quality increased, with such a treasured assistant, they could do it too!

“So it is, a unique refining technique…”

After overcoming their shock, they all understood; it wasn’t some secret technique but a special method of refinement which seemed difficult to master. Merely demonstrating it once was not enough to grasp it.

No wonder he didn’t mind showing it; the technique was too mysterious, and they plainly didn’t fear them learning it.

“I never thought there would be such an alchemy method. It really broadens one’s horizons,” Zhao Yingzhen was somewhat lost in thought, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but light up, as if it had opened up new possibilities in alchemy.

“Qingfeng, right? Qingfeng, would you be willing to assist me in refining a high-level pill, during which I won’t deliberately hide anything from you if you can learn it, then count it as your skill. I need your refinement ability to help me condense the medicine…” Shi Huajin gazed at Li Hao, extending the invitation.

Li Hao was momentarily stunned, looking towards Lin Shanhai beside him.

Seeing Li Hao’s gaze, Lin Shanhai was also startled, instantly seeing through Li Hao’s thoughts; he was asking whether to accept. It seemed if he agreed, he was doing so out of respect for Lin Shanhai, while if he showed indifference, the young man would likely refuse…

Such was the invitation of a high-level pill master, and they were even going to refine a high-level pill formula with no reservations. What a precious opportunity, was this young man really not interested?

Lin Shanhai was somewhat speechless; this was the first time he had encountered such a person.

“Since Master Shi is asking for your help, if you are willing to help, just agree. It’s up to you, but this opportunity is rare. If you are not interested in the pill formula, you can ask for something else. Master Shi has extensive connections and is very wealthy…” Lin Shanhai said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shi Huajin was slightly stunned. Listening to what was said, this young man really wasn’t interested in an unrestrained display of a high-level pill formula?

“Since it is a senior inviting, I shall humbly comply,” Li Hao considered for a moment and then accepted.

Although this would delay his Carving, it wouldn’t be by much.

After all, Lin Shanhai was a friend, rejecting him would be a bit disappointing and he also owed Lin Shanhai a great favor.

Moreover, being unfamiliar with the place, receiving such help from the other party to this extent, making some friends couldn’t be bad.

“What do you need then?” Shi Huajin curiously asked Li Hao.

Li Hao shook his head, “I don’t need anything, but if possible, anything like famous paintings and chess manuals would interest me.”

“Paintings and chess manuals?”

Shi Huajin and the others were stunned. Such things, of negligible value except to some merchants feigning interest in elegance, were basically useless to cultivators.

Lin Shanhai, having seen Li Hao spend his free time Carving and never meddling with alchemy or cultivation, had already learned of Li Hao’s unconventional interests, but still, he couldn’t help but be astounded upon hearing this.

Slightly skeptical, Shi Huajin asked Li Hao repeatedly to confirm that he really only wanted these; she then stopped overthinking it. Whatever Li Hao’s reasons, she would find out eventually.

“Lin, why on earth would you brew tea with medicinal materials? It tastes terrible.”

Another elder, Liu Dongting, spat out the medicinal herbs from his tea, complaining irritably.
