‘Ooh… Ooh… Ooh!’
With fingers as quick and agile as fluttering butterflies, the air was filled with melodious movements.
The crowd outside the room was staring intensely into the room while the old president squatted at a side of the room with his attention totally drawn.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoshou was totally focused on the Passive Points Bar.
‘Come on!’
He thought for a while and finally decided that the benefits outweighed the costs if he were to use his Passive Points now.
As such, he stopped hesitating and exchanged some for two skill points.
Out of his Expertise Passive Skills that had reached the Innate Stage, his Sword Technique Expertise skill level had been raised twice and was already at the limit.
Considering that he still had to perform alchemy, he wanted to be very cautious.
To ensure that his cauldron would not explode, Xu Xiaoshou used his skill points.
Cooking Expertise, Innate Level 1.
Cooking Expertise Innate Level 3.
Immediately, his mind was filled with a large volume of knowledge. Different from leveling up during Acquired Stage, the experience that was entering his mind now was more of…
The way of the Cooking Expert…
As well as an understanding of food and ingredients.
While leveling up of Cooking Expert in the Acquired Stage, Xu Xiaoshou received almost all of the knowledge there was about lower-level spiritual medicines.
Now, that knowledge had been updated to include food and ingredients.
‘Meats and vegetables?’
Xu Xiaoshou’s face darkened.
The highly expected Pill Condensation Art did not appear at all. He lost his focus for a while, and his hands shook a little.
The audience’s heart tightened as they watched from the outside. They noticed that the temperature suddenly spiked. It was as if in the next moment, the spiritual liquid above the cauldron would turn into ashes.
However, they saw the young man grab the cauldron tightly. The surrounding air seemed to come become still
The accidental spike in heat coursed through his hands, entering his body.
‘Breathing Technique!’
Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes lit up.
It was almost as if it was an involuntary reaction, just like how leveling up Sword Technique Expertise was in the past. It brought him an unexpected surprise.
If the Breathing Technique could help lower the temperature, didn’t that mean that from now on when he lost focus while performing alchemy, as long as he reacted in time, it could always be salvaged?
His Agility had already reached the Master Stage, which meant his reaction time would be godly.
‘That’s not right!’
This method should not be used on salvaging. Instead, was it better suited for multiple alchemizing?
Could he alchemize with two cauldrons at the same time?
As long as his reaction was fast enough, he could lower the heat before any cauldrons exploded, halting any impending explosions before they even started.
‘F*ck!’
‘What an unexpected surprise!’
Xu Xiaoshou’s face brightened up as he thought about it.
Raising the skill level of Cooking Expert by two points seemed to have gotten him useless things, but flame control’s level was raised as well.
If he continued to raise the skill level, controlling multiple cauldrons at the same time was not an impossible dream anymore.
That seemingly useless meat and vegetable combination knowledge was actually subtly setting the foundations for one of Xu Xiaoshou’s ideals of creating meat pills.
He didn’t dare to try it now, but it didn’t mean that he would not try it next time.
Xu Xiaoshou was so agitated that his hands shook again, causing onlooker’s hearts to tighten again. He immediately tried his new discovery.
He did not use his nostrils to breathe. Instead, he used his hands to come into contact with the Infernal Heavenly Flames, achieving the results that he wanted.
Beside him, Shi Ti was already looking a little faint.
What kind of technique was this?
He had never seen these movements before nor the results that they brought.
Was it possible to salvage things when the cauldron seemed to be exploding?
Disbelief was written all over Shi Ti’s face.
Alchemists were required to have high control over flames. Even the slightest mistake could cause all to be lost and unsalvageable.
With Xu Xiaoshou’s technique, he was able to lower the temperature of the cauldron just by having his hands near it.
‘Is this Elder Sang’s new invention?’
‘Did he purposely ask this lad to show off in front of me?’
