Transmigrant Alchemist And His Magic Wagon

My own cauldron

"You will soon be faced with two paths. After your training period is over, you remain my students. But you remember? When I first brought it to the Eastern Ufuk Valley?" said Mu Haocun.

"We remember, master," said Changyi, Jiaojiao, Mutong and Liuzhi.

"good. I don't need to remind you guys anymore then. Well, now your two-month assignment is to recall everything I taught you. Then think about what path you will choose. I hope you have decided when I call," Mu Haocun said.

"Well, master," said Changyi, Jiaojiao, Mutong and Liuzhi.

Mu Lian observed Mu Haocun and his four companions from the sidelines. They were in the grounds of Mu Haocun which was now beginning to be covered in snow.

Early in the morning Meng Zhi came and told that the seeds of Siwang Mo-gu began to appear.

Miasma was also very concentrated and Meng Zhi predicted tomorrow or the day after Preta began to appear.

Without further ado, Mu Haocun called Changyi, Jiaojiao, Mutong and Liuzhi to his house.

Mu Lian observed Mu Haocun who was explaining about the principle of cauldron work. Classes run until lunch.

Mu Haocun reluctantly told the four students to immediately go home to the dormitory because soon Mu Haocun will hold a meeting regarding Siwang Mo-gu.

Mu Lian escorted Changyi, Jiaojiao, Mutong and Liuzhi to the gate. They talked about two young men named Shaoting and Yunhao.

Mu Haocun who had been walking down the hall was about to bring a note in his room stopped in front of the window and stole the hearing of Mu Lian's conversation with his four disciples.

Only this time did Mu Haocun hear Mu Lian and her four disciples talking about something else. One of them was a young man who was noticed by rich merchants as well. This made Mu Haocun interested in hearing stealing.

"Well that's it. We were trying to get close to Shaoting and Yunhao because the Zhouzhou brothers seemed interested in the two of them," Changyi said.

"Right, but we don't feel good about suddenly getting along with them so we approach them step by step" Jiaojiao said.

"By the way, where's Zhouzhou's brother?" liuzhi said as he turned left and right.

"Ah. Azhou was with Senior Han and Master Yi," Mu Lian said.

"Oh yes, isn't Senior Han also Master Yi's student?" liuzhi said with sparkling eyes.

"really. Just this time I saw the two of them being summoned before Master Yi," Mu Lian said.

"It's possible that they're being tested" Mutong said.

Mu Haocun knew for sure the reason the two young men were called Master Yi. One day, Ling Zizhou said that his friend asked him for advice on how to be strong.

Master Yi was surprised to hear that but promised to give him some tricks for self-protection that could be given to his friend on the condition that Ling Zizhou pass the test given by Master Yi.

Master Yi used this opportunity to make Ling Zizhou willing to do intensive training and at the end of the training Master Yi would have Ling Zizhou fight Han Tengfei.

Now Mu Haocun knew who the friend Ling Zizhou was referring to. It turned out that his friend was none other than one of his own students, Liuzhi.

Mu Haocun smiled because Ling Zizhou was finally willing to open his heart to the people around him.

"Oh. Like we were tested by Master Mu?" jiaojiao said with a pale face.

"Ens. Monthly test making pills, hah~I will miss the times when we are still with Master Mu," Changyi said.

"True, even though sometimes the master is very hard, but that's what I will miss" said Liuzhi.

The tip of Mu Haocun's mouth twitched. These children, there was still time until they faced him again it seemed like Mu Haocun would give them what they wanted.

Mu Haocun smiled as he planned when the time was right to hold the test that the four students were looking forward to.

"By the way have you tried to make pills?" mutong.

"Have you got the cauldron for yourself?" Jiaojiao.

Mu Haocun widened his eyes. Why did he forget such an important thing? Alright, before the meeting started, Mu Haocun reminded himself not to forget to give Mu Lian a cauldron.

Mu Haocun rushed into his room leaving behind Mu Lian, Changyi, Jiaojiao, Mutong and Liuzhi who were still conversing in front of the gate.

"Not yet" said Mu Lian.

"He? I thought you had it" said Jiaojiao.

"Ens. Moreover, Lian'er has already attended our class," said Liuzhi.

"It's not an ordinary class, it's an intensive class" Mutong said.

"That's it. You better go home because you're about to enter lunch time" said Mu Lian.

Changyi, Jiaojiao, Mutong and Liuzhi did not say anything more and said goodbye knowing that there would be important guests coming.

Mu Lian closed the gate then crossed the grounds. Mu Lian did not see Mu Haocun's figure anywhere so she went up to the second floor towards Mu Haocun's room.

"Grandfather," Mu Lian said as she knocked on the door.

"Come on Lian'er" said Mu Haocun.

Mu Lian entered then closed the door behind her. Mu Haocun was sitting in front of his desk with a glowing face.

"Is there anything that makes you happy today?" mu Lian said as she sat before Mu Haocun.

"Ens. It's been a long time since grandfather wanted to give this to you, but since it's been busy lately, grandfather has forgotten," Mu Haocun said as he placed a beautiful cauldron in front of Mu Lian.

The cauldron exuded an unusual aura, feeling majestic and charismatic. It was no bigger than a mug glass.

"This.it's beautiful. Is this a treasure?" said Mu Lian.

"No, you are grandfather's treasure, haha," Mu Haocun said. The tip of Mu Lian's lips twitched, the old man before her was always unable to be taken seriously.

"I can't make pills, this cauldron won't be of any use to me" Mu Lian said. But his eyes still stared at the cauldron.

"cannot yet. Because I've never tried, but I'm sure you understand the basics, right?" said Mu Haocun.

"Umm, theory. But I am still in the final stages of condensing chi, after all I cannot use fire spells, yet" Mu Lian said gloomily.

"Hmm? Fire spells? Of course you can learn it," Mu Haocun said.

"Don't studying fire spells at least have to be at the initial level of foundation construction?" said Mu Lian.

"really. But the fire incantation I was referring to was pill fire," Mu Lian said.

Mu Lian widened her eyes. The fire used by Alchemists was different from fire usually so was the one used by metallurgists.

"Can I learn it?!" mu Lian said involuntarily rising from her seat.

"of course. Grandpa will teach it. After all, grandfather has asked for help to find the most effective way to extract chi," Mu Haocun said. Mu Lian nodded.

Considering Mu Lian had to help Mu Haocun, Mu Lian did not think any further and directly asked when she started studying.

Mu Lian did not know that Mu Lian was a handful of people in this world who learned to use pill fire at the final stage of condensing chi.

"Starting tonight you will learn how to use fire pills" Mu Haocun said.

"good. But will we have time to do the experiment? I was just the first to learn fire pills," Mu Lian said.

"You can definitely," Mu Haocun said smilingly.

"Grandfather," said Mu Lian moved. Mu Lian had always been grateful towards Mu Haocun because although it was not her family yet Mu Haocun had always placed his trust in Mu Lian.

On the contrary, Mu Haocun believed that Mu Lian could definitely master the pill fire in such a short period of time because she was so.Mu Haocun dissolved in his nostalgia without knowing that Mu Lian had misunderstood him.

"Yes? What's wrong with you?" said Mu Haocun.

"Azhou grew up to be a good boy, this is thanks to Lian'er. Thank you," said Master Yi smiling at Mu Lian.

"Eh? Ah, there is no need for Master Yi," Mu Lian said perplexedly.

"Haocun, everyone has gathered. You better get down, too," said Master Yi trying to stop his smile.

"Oh, it's time. All right let's get down. And it's best to keep the cauldron, Lian'er, lest anyone see," Mu Haocun said, winking one eye.

Mu Lian hurriedly hugged the cauldron and tried to hide it. Already Mu Lian had guessed, surely that cauldron was no ordinary cauldron.

Mu Lian looked at Master Yi for help but Master Yi had already left the room.

Master Yi hurried to leave Mu Haocun and Mu Lian unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the cauldron.

Mu Lian let out a long sigh then caught up with Mu Haocun and Master Yi after putting the cauldron in her room.

When Mu Lian arrived at the reception hall, discussions were underway between Mu Haocun, Master Yi, Meng Zhi, Master Zhengheng and Chu Minishen.

Mu Lian looked at the teacup in front of the five people discussing it. Unwilling to disturb the course of the discussion, Mu Lian went to the kitchen to heat the water.

Mu Lian then refilled the tea when asked. The rest of Mu Lian stood up while watching the course of the discussion from the sidelines.

"That's all I'd like to add to our plan, would anyone mind?" said Mu Haocun. Silent.

"Because no one would mind how about we end up here and have lunch together?" said Meng Zhi.

"really. There is no other opportunity than today where we can gather together," Chu Minishen said.

"Ens. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will be more and more busy guarding the location, there will be no time," Master Zhengheng said.

"Zhouzhou and Fei'er are coming soon with side dishes" Master Yi said.

Ling Zizhou, the cook, did not have time to cook that day because he was called Master Yi. So today's lunch menu is Aunt Lin's side dish.

Before long Ling Zizhou and Han Tengfei walked into the grounds carrying a myriad of parcels. Mu Lian helped them to present it at the table.

After eating together, Master Yi, Meng Zhi, Master Zhengheng and Chu Minishen continued their patrols at the Siwang Mo-gu cultivation site.

Mu Lian was surprised to see Ling Zizhou covered in cuts and bruises. When asked, Ling Zizhou was convoluted and only promised that one day he would defeat Han Tengfei.

Mu Lian looked at Han Tengfei suspiciously but the young man shrugged then said nothing more.

After being treated by Mu Lian it seemed Ling Zizhou was very excited to train with Han Tengfei, his senior.

The two set off again somewhere leaving Mu Lian and Mu Haocun both at home.

Mu Lian took advantage of this opportunity to recall Mu Haocun's lesson regarding fire pills.

Mu Lian's heart was pounding so fast that Mu Lian initially thought she was afraid of her failure to master the pill fire but after a long time she realized that the pounding signified that she was looking forward to the lesson.

Right after dinner Mu Haocun invited Mu Lian to study fire pills in his room.

Not to forget Mu Lian brought the cauldron that Mu Haocun gave her earlier this afternoon.

Mu Haocun gave instructions to Mu Lian for a few minutes then began Mu Lian's first trial using pill fire.

No, it was not a pill fire but rather a manipulation of spiritual energy. It turned out that Mu Lian had to learn how to manipulate her spiritual energy tonight. The quality, of course, was stored in the corner of Mu Haocun's workbench.

Mu Lian sat in a meditative position in front of the dark room. In front of him were several constellations that began to form galaxies.

Mu Lian tried to make the arrangement of stars flow right in their respective paths.

It is like a moon orbiting around the Earth. Mu Lian concentrated fully on making the stars flow.

Most people in this world have trouble imagining what a satellite is like orbiting a planet.

In contrast, Mu Lian has been watching videos of satellites and planets since she was in school.

Even so the arrangement of the stars remains unmoved and there are no signs of moving.

Mu Lian felt like there was a burden falling on her chest. Feels very heavy and tight.

Mu Haocun advised not to heed the feeling and continued to meditate. Over time the feeling will get lighter until it eventually disappears.

Mu Lian believed it was possible that after the feeling disappeared he could make the arrangement of the stars move.

Mu Lian took a breath from her nose then threw it away through her mouth. Keep going on I don't know how long.

All Mu Lian remembered was when someone's hand stroked her head. Mu Lian frowned then tried to open her eyes.

"Lian. How you feeling?" said Mu Haocun.

"Grandfather?" mu Lian said confusedly. Mu Lian tried to get up but was held back by Mu Haocun.

"Don't wake up. Rest a little longer. Here, drink first," Mu Haocun said as he helped Mu Lian drink.

"Thank you. What's going on?" said Mu Lian.

"You're exhausted and you're fainting. It's okay, this reaction of your body is natural considering it was the first time you tried to manipulate your spiritual energy," Mu Haocun said.

Mu Lian nodded. The feeling of discomfort due to being hit by a very heavy burden was a new thing for Mu Lian.

Unlike when trying to drain chi, the feeling of being touched by water, manipulating spiritual energy felt like Mu Lian's entire body was chained to the point of being unable to move.

Mu Lian was about to ask something but felt her eyes very heavy for a long time Mu Lian fell asleep again.

Mu Haocun smiled. It seemed like tonight he was going to sleep on the chair while watching Mu Lian's condition.

For the next few days Mu Lian practiced manipulating her spiritual energy. Mu Lian felt a significant difference in her efforts, which initially felt her body being hit by tons of weight until the burden felt light step by step.

Mu Haocun looked increasingly busy because Preta had started popping up. Mu Lian said that she could train on her own but Mu Haocun insisted on accompanying Mu Lian.

Mu Haocun said that Mu Lian's first week should be guided so as not to have any accidents.

If only Mu Lian knew that manipulating spiritual energy had a very high risk, Mu Lian would not be willing to do so.

But because Mu Haocun never brought up the matter and believed that Mu Lian could do it so Mu Lian never knew about the risk.

Mu Haocun kept company and watched as Mu Lian practiced manipulating spiritual energy despite her extremely tired face.

Mu Haocun had expended more than half of his spiritual energy that day. And the day after he had to eradicate Preta in place of the resting Master Zhengheng.

Just having two people to take turns eradicating Preta feels very difficult. It is not impossible, it is just that the workload feels heavier.

Mu Haocun let out a long breath. He turned his attention to Mu Lian who was sitting in a meditative position.

Mu Haocun nodded in satisfaction and placed more hope on Mu Lian. Mu Haocun could not wait to see the girl for the first time making pills.

Moreover, Mu Haocun was also impatient to see what color the pill flame belonged to Mu Lian. Would Mu Lian's pill fire be the same as hers?

Mu Haocun came to a realization as Mu Lian's body leaned forward. Mu Haocun immediately caught Mu Lian then placed her on the bed.

Mu Lian lost her consciousness. Yet Mu Lian lost her consciousness after three hours of manipulating her spiritual energy.

The rapid progress. Mu Haocun nodded again. It was likely that in the next few days Mu Lian would not lose consciousness again when she practiced manipulating spiritual energy.
