He quickly checked the system.
[The Nine Purple Moon Divine Body requires Heavenly Flames or powerful Beast Flames to awaken its special abilities.]
[The first divine ability can normally be awakened upon reaching the Qi Refinement Realm by absorbing a Beast Flame or Heavenly Flame.]
[Divine Ability: Purple Moon Flame.]
[Purple Moon Flame is a special flame with an extremely cold nature. Instead of increasing temperature, it continuously lowers the temperature of everything around it.]
Ji Tianyou was slightly surprised.
"Can she still use the White-Eyed Flamingo Flame for alchemy?" he asked.
[Yes. The original flame has not disappeared. The Purple Moon Flame is simply the first divine ability awakened by her physique.]
Ji Tianyou relaxed after hearing the answer.
"Lin Yue, can you still use the white flame?"
Lin Yue nodded and raised her other hand.
A small white flame appeared above her palm.
Ji Tianyou nodded with relief.
"Good. The purple flame is one of the divine abilities of your physique. You may awaken more abilities as your cultivation improves, so don't worry about it."
Lin Yue looked at the purple flame curiously before nodding.
"Okay, Young Master."
"Now, let's start learning alchemy."
Lin Yue immediately became focused.
Ji Tianyou began with the basics instead of directly teaching her high-level techniques.
He took out several sets of Tier 0 ingredients.
"We'll start with these. They are simple pills mainly used by Body Refinement cultivators."
He showed her several different formulas.
"These include the Iron Body Pill, Bronze Body Pill, and Silver Body Pill. Their effects are different, but the refining process is relatively simple."
Lin Yue carefully listened to his explanation.
Ji Tianyou then demonstrated the first step.
"First, you need to identify the properties of each ingredient. Even if two ingredients look similar, their medicinal properties can be completely different."
Lin Yue nodded and carefully memorized his instructions.
Ji Tianyou continued explaining the basics of flame control, ingredient processing, and extracting medicinal essences.
Since Lin Yue already possessed the White-Eyed Flamingo Flame, she had a suitable flame for alchemy.
After understanding the basics, she prepared to refine her first batch of pills under Ji Tianyou's guidance.
Lin Yue carefully followed Ji Tianyou's instructions and began refining her first batch of pills.
She controlled the white flame beneath the small cauldron and slowly heated the ingredients.
However, she soon made a mistake.
The medicinal essence became unstable, and the refining process failed.
Lin Yue looked at the failed batch with disappointment.
Ji Tianyou shook his head.
"It's okay. It's your first attempt. Everyone fails when they first learn alchemy. Just remember what went wrong and try again."
Lin Yue nodded and prepared another batch.
Her second attempt also failed.
This time, she had controlled the flame too strongly and damaged several of the medicinal ingredients.
Ji Tianyou patiently explained the mistake to her.
"Your flame control is still too rough. Don't use too much spiritual energy. Try to maintain a steady temperature instead."
"I understand."
Lin Yue took a short break before beginning her third attempt.
This time, she followed every instruction carefully.
The ingredients slowly turned into medicinal essences, which began gathering inside the cauldron.
After some time, Lin Yue carefully condensed the essences into pills.
She stopped the flame and opened the cauldron.
Several small pills were lying inside.
Lin Yue looked at them with surprise.
"I succeeded!"
Ji Tianyou smiled.
"Yes. They're Low-Quality pills, but that's still a good result for your third attempt."
Lin Yue happily looked at the pills.
"Really?"
"Of course. Keep practicing, and your success rate and pill quality will improve."
He then gifted the Cauldron to her.
It was the Twin Dragon Cauldron.
"This is for you. It will make practicing alchemy easier."
Lin Yue accepted the cauldron with both hands.
"Thank you, Young Master."
The moment she accepted it, a system notification appeared in Ji Tianyou's mind.
[Ding! Gift detected.]
[Gift: Twin Dragon Cauldron.]
[Return Multiplier: 150x.]
[Return Reward: Peak Spirit-Rank Three Dragons Cauldron.]
Ji Tianyou glanced at the notification before storing the returned cauldron directly in his System Inventory.
The Peak Spirit-Rank Three Dragons Cauldron was much better than the one he had given Lin Yue.
He then looked at her.
"Use this cauldron to practice your alchemy from now on. Don't worry about succeeding every time. The important thing is to understand the process."
Lin Yue nodded.
"I'll keep practicing."
Ji Tianyou smiled and continued explaining the basics of alchemy to Lin Yue.
After explaining a little more, he left her with the Tier 0 Alchemy insights he had obtained and returned to his own room.
Once inside, he sat down and began checking the rewards in his System Inventory.
First, he looked at the 99th-Ranked Heavy Flame, the Black Yin Lotus Flame.
The flame was dark and mysterious, with a faint black glow surrounding its core. Thin lotus-shaped patterns could be seen moving within the flames.
Ji Tianyou carefully read its information.
Black Yin Lotus Flame
Rank: 99th among the Heavy Flames
Properties: Yin Nourishing, Yin Purification
The Black Yin Lotus Flame had a special Yin nature.
Unlike ordinary flames that mainly focused on burning and destruction, this flame could nourish Yin energy while also purifying impure Yin energy.
It was especially useful for cultivators who practiced Yin-based cultivation techniques.
It could also be used by Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Puppet Cultivators because it could strengthen their Yin energy while removing harmful impurities.
Ji Tianyou looked at the flame with interest.
"This flame is quite useful."
He then thought about its alchemy applications.
A flame with Yin-purifying properties could be extremely useful when refining pills containing Yin-type medicinal ingredients.
It could also help remove unwanted impurities from certain rare materials.
