Chapter 187 - 186 AI Alchemy?

Chapter 187: Chapter 186 AI Alchemy?

Although Lu Ren was merely a menial disciple, his knowledge of the Spirit Miao Continent far surpassed that of the Yang Family, especially with a deep understanding of the Immortal Clans under the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, which currently proved very useful to the Yang Family.

Therefore, Yang Fu was not stingy with Spirit Stones and directly hired him to operate and manage the family residence this year, responsible for cultivating the 200 acres of Spirit Fields and raising the Spiritual Fish of the Silver Brocade Lake, ensuring a bountiful harvest.

He offered him 1000 Low Grade Spirit Stones per year.

For a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, that amount was definitely a handsome salary, and Lu Ren accepted it with a smile on his face.

“Elder ancestor, as I understand… though the prices in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect are twice as expensive as those in the Fierce Sun Dynasty, 1000 Spirit Stones a year… Isn’t that too wasteful? Based on my previous conversation with him… 800 Spirit Stones should be enough.”

As soon as Yang Fu arrived, he built the Yang Family Ancestral Shrine, where others were not allowed so as to facilitate his ancestor worship and communication with the elder ancestors.

“Paying a premium can buy you extra loyalty. People like Lu Ren are straightforward. If you appreciate him and provide enough Spirit Stones, he will devote his life to you, exerting twice the effort. ‘A soldier for his friend will perish,’ understand? This many Spirit Stones is not much for the Yang Family.”

“So that’s it~ Yang Fu has learned.”

“Hehe~ I also learned this principle from a book.”

“What Divine Book? Can your child read it too?”

“‘Getting Rich by Starting in a Game,’ it’s beyond your comprehension, you wouldn’t understand it.”

“Oh… Elder ancestor, since you are learned and wise, please provide more guidance to your child!”

Although Yang Fu didn’t understand the title, he felt it was profound.

After delegating some tasks, Yang Fu handed over the family residence’s restrictions to Shen Yao and the Third Grade Crystal Cage Array to Leng Li; the place was abundant with Spiritual Energy, which the Array could absorb to replenish its strength.

Under the control of these two, even those three men from the Guo Family could not breach it.

Lu Ren said that in case of an attack, the family residence could release an Immortal Clan signal, visible in the Immortal Clan Pavilion of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, and someone would naturally notify Yang Fu.

This way, they would prevent the situation of being unaware of an accident at home.

Still, Yang Genshuo felt it was not secure enough.

“I feel uneasy about places I can’t see… It’s better to have a successor as soon as possible, even a one-year-old baby could serve as my true eyes.”

Thus, tonight…

Yang Fu’s intimate moments were worth thousands of gold pieces.

Shen Yao and Leng Li, new to intimacy, emerged somewhat roughed up from their skirmishes, but being cultivators, they were in excellent health and had recovered by the next day.

Early in the morning, Shen Yao pulled Yang Fu back into her room as he was preparing to leave, and took the initiative to kiss him.

“Hmph~ I want to surpass her by one time…”

A fierce battle began anew in the morning, and whether it was for competition or otherwise, Shen Yao seemed more versed in the matters of intimacy, making Yang Fu feel as if he were gliding through the clouds, soaring skyward with the person beneath him.

Such flavors were too intricate to explain to outsiders.

Watching Yang Fu return to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect on the fat-headed egret, Yang Genshuo started to speed up again.

“I wonder which pavilion Yang Fu will be able to pay homage to.”

“There are many Spirit Pavilions in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect. To choose one that satisfies every wish… he’d need to consult Murong Ziyuan.”

“This youngster Yang Fushuo is indeed less trouble.”

The perspective shifts back to Yang Fushuo.

Having arrived a few days ago, he promptly left Tian Mumu to go to the Elixir Pavilion, where Deputy Pavilion Master Du Yuyan was waiting for him.

Deputy Pavilion Master Du, with outstanding looks and appearing quite young, Yang Fushuo thought it wouldn’t be strange to consider her his contemporary. However, this return saw Yang Fushuo being much more behaved.

He would have to follow her in the future, best to be less frivolous.

Yang Fushuo decided, for his future status in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, to be as reliable as possible.

At the very least, he had to seriously learn Alchemy!

He had concocted a Third Grade Elixir through shortcuts, but in reality, he didn’t actually possess the ability to truly create Third Grade Elixirs. There was still much to learn.

And the Elixir Pavilion was the best place for it!

Recently, he was studying a new elixir recipe with Du Yuyan, who seemed particularly fond of creating new elixirs…

“Eh? Sister, have you seen Deputy Pavilion Master Du? Didn’t she say she wanted to craft a new elixir today? Why didn’t she come? Also, what’s your name? When did you join the Elixir Pavilion?”

Yang Fushuo was talking to a pretty young female cultivator who came to work.

The female cultivator glanced at him indifferently, “Didn’t Deputy Pavilion Master Du tell you to come today and try crafting the elixir according to the recipe she wrote? Why haven’t you started yet?”

“Hey! The recipe she wrote, I could tell at a glance that it’s wrong! Elixirs aren’t crafted like this~ Sister, let me show you a true hand at Alchemy…”

The graceful female cultivator’s complexion shifted slightly, “Hold on a second…don’t rush.”

“You say the elixir recipe is wrong, but the new elixir recipe is derived from experimentation. How can you know if it works without experimenting first?”

“I have a bad feeling about this. The balance of the Five Elements is off…it’s definitely going to explode the furnace.”

“So you won’t practice alchemy today?”

“I will make an elixir, but I’ll rely on my own instincts. She’s just a Deputy Pavilion Master, what does she know about alchemy? It’s still up to me…” Yang Fushuo said with a cheeky smile, “By the way, elder sister, were you also summoned to make elixirs?”

“No, I was just experimenting with the Concealing Breath and Disguise Pills I recently made.”

The delicate light on the female cultivator’s face flickered, revealing Du Yuyan’s appearance.

Yang Fushuo: Not chuckling anymore.

That’s no fun, Master!

It’s not fair to play like this!

You started experimenting with the pills without giving me a heads-up. Look at you…

“Master, I’m going to make the elixir according to your recipe…”

Yang Fushuo hurriedly grabbed a bunch of herbs and slipped away to the alchemy room.

“Come back!”

Du Yuyan exerted a slight force, and like a caught chick, Yang Fushuo was directly lifted back by a pair of invisible hands.

“Keep explaining the issues with this elixir recipe, and how you’d make a new pill…”

“Well~ I’ll place the ingredients in a circle, then stuff them in based on my intuition…”

“That’s exactly how you blew up our back mountain last time.”

“A bit of loss is normal~ That’s how new elixirs are developed~”

Du Yuyan shook her head helplessly.

“If you can’t summarize a theoretical set, always relying on luck, how are you supposed to master the method of creating new pills?”

Wow~ A theorist, indeed.

Yang Genshuo was amused.

This female master of Yang Fushuo’s actually wanted to summarize a theory for creating new pills.

“What progressive thinking that is! Even in the modern day, she’d be a great chemist…”

Alchemy is a talent for Yang Fushuo, success depends purely on instincts and he really can’t summarize any effective experiences. The only way would be to review all his successful alchemy experiences, find some common points, then upgrade those into a theoretical guide, test them, and keep refining the theory.

“But that seems too troublesome…”

Yang Genshuo shook his head, feeling that what Du Yuyan wanted to do was hard to achieve.

“Master… with your strength, creating even the most powerful Second Grade Elixirs isn’t very useful anymore, right? Why are you so adamant about this?”

Du Yuyan gave him a glare, “Can you find me Third Grade spiritual medicine materials?”

“Oh, that!”

“Don’t worry, Master, I know a person who is well-versed in both ancient and modern thoughts, deeply profound. Maybe he can help us solve the theoretical problem.”

“Who?”

“Hehe~”

Yang Genshuo considered the request from Yang Fushuo and fell into thought.

“Are you seriously using the old ancestor as a tool? Am I some grandpa inside your ring now?”

Yang Genshuo suspected Yang Fushuo was using a story script of some protagonist to treat him as a golden finger.

He copied Yang Fushuo’s story into ChatGPT and asked, “Who is this person?”

ChatGPT: “Xiao Yan.”

“Nice!”

However, Yang Genshuo suddenly thought of a method to extract a theory,

“It’s said that if you feed AI enough data, it can understand a concept, even though humans don’t know how it understands, but it just does…”

“Could AI possibly be used to derive a theoretical guide for alchemy?”
