Artifact Refining, Talisman Drawing, Formation Techniques, and other side businesses may be a bit complicated for him to learn, but learning Alchemy is quite easy.

This is because the Su Family is most skilled at cultivating spiritual medicines. Over the years, they have made progress in both the fields of medicine and alchemy.

They have even opened a Pill Tower industry in a small town under the control of the Yunjian Sect, which is for the sale of spiritual medicines and pills.

“However, before learning Alchemy, it’s best to start as a medicine apprentice in the medicinal fields to identify spiritual medicines. After completion of learning, one can then become the disciple of a family alchemist elder,” Su Yu seemed hesitant.

Although there are strong figures from the family guarding the herbal field, there are more or less safety concerns when leaving the family.

Sometimes, medicinal fields are attacked by demonic beasts.

In secret, they also have to guard against the Lin Family’s mischief.

After a brief hesitation, Su Yu gritted his teeth and decided to go to the herbal field as an apprentice. Now is the best time to be a medicine apprentice. He has a lot of free time every day and cannot afford to waste it.

After completion, he will be able to learn Alchemy, which will be beneficial for his future cultivation.

Compared with the minor crisis of going to the herbal field, it’s nothing much and still bearable.

Moreover, being a medicine apprentice allows him to receive additional monthly resources.

After making up his mind, Su Yu received a task to go to the herbal field as a medicine apprentice from the First Elder. The First Elder, Su Mengshan, laughed and said, “It’s perfect that the herb field needs people. Take this token with you. I’ll have someone take you to the herb field to find your uncle Su Changyu. He’s an old pharmacist. Learning from him is absolutely right.”

With the Identity Token for entering and exiting the medicinal field formation, Su Yu followed a Qi Refinement Realm Sixth Layer family elder towards the medicinal field.

The herb field was not far from River City, but there were also hundreds of miles away, located in a desolate mountain range, covering tens of thousands of acres.

However, due to the issue of spiritual energy, this herb field could indeed cultivate spiritual medicines, but at most, it could only cultivate some less precious first-order spiritual medicines. This allowed the Su Family to earn a little money and firmly establish themselves, but it was impossible to turn a great profit.

This herbal field was the most vital foundation of the Su Family, heavily guarded by various formations. Upon entering the herb field with the Identity Token, a bright sight with several cloudy mountains and valleys appeared before their eyes.

Su Yu was slightly surprised. He found that the spiritual energy here in the herbal fields was even more abundant than in the Su Family mansion.

The herbal field was extensive, with many Su Family members present. In addition to over a hundred cultivators, there were also hundreds of ordinary clanspeople and servants.

On a hillside, a large farmstead was erected with hundreds of small houses.

Su Changyu, a cultivator who had been in the herbal field for nearly thirty years, had mediocre talent in spiritual roots and could barely practice cultivation. Therefore, after decades, his cultivation was still only in the Qi Refinement Realm’s third layer.

For this reason, he chose to stay in the herbal field, responsible for growing spiritual medicine and training pharmacists and medicine apprentices for the family.

When he met Su Changyu, he was busy in the herb field with three medicine apprentices.

“Changyu, I have brought a new person here. His name is Su Yu. He will work as a medicine apprentice here from now on.” After handing Su Yu over to Su Changyu, the elder who had brought Su Yu to the field didn’t linger and left the herbal field.

Su Changyu looked like a peasant – not very tall, about seven feet, wearing a common garment, having a dark complexion, a robust structure, and a simple look.

Seeing Su Yu’s clean robe, Su Changyu chuckled, saying, “It’s good that you’re here. Young people should learn some skills. One can’t rely on one’s family for a lifetime. Not to mention, if you want to raise a family, you have got to work harder.”

The three apprentices around him were all older than Su Yu. The youngest apprentice was already in his twenties and had been in herbal field for five to six years.

The oldest was already in his thirties.

At this age, one could serve as a pharmacist in the herb field.

For an apprentice in the herb field, there were only two possibilities. One was to stay in the medicinal field and wait for the day to be capable of leading by example and becoming a pharmacist.

The other was to leave, find an opportunity to apprentice under an alchemist, and perhaps one day become a formal alchemist.

However, such opportunities were scarce.

The three apprentices who were busily working nearby only glanced at Su Yu, smiled, and nodded gently as a greeting, and then continued their busy work.

Su Yu bowed deeply and respectfully said, “Master.”

Su Changyu nodded with a smile, handed him a booklet, and said, “This booklet records the spiritual medicines grown in the herbal fields, including their medicinal properties, growth habits, and several spells needed for the cultivation of spiritual medicine.”

“By the way, what Technique do you practice?”

Su Yu replied, “Wutong Green Wood Technique, currently on the second layer.”

Su Changyu’s eyes brightened, “This technique is excellent. You have learned the Rejuvenation Technique, haven’t you?”

Su Yu nodded in reply, “Yes.”

Su Changyu cheerfully said, “I’ll give you half a month to familiarize yourself with this book. After that, I’ll teach you how to cultivate spiritual medicine.”

The book was a good resource. After thanking Su Changyu, Su Yu, under Su Changyu’s arrangement, moved into an empty house in the medicine plantation. A temporary residence for him to settle down in.

Every day, in addition to practicing cultivation techniques and body refinement techniques, he studied the book’s knowledge about the nature of various spiritual medicines.

This is the foundation of a pharmacist, and it is also the foundation of becoming an alchemist.

In addition to the knowledge of spiritual medicines, the book also records several spells, including water attribute Rain Technique, earth attribute Earth Technique, wood attribute Nurture Technique, etc. There is also a wood attribute spell called Nourishing Spirit Technique.

Its purpose is to nurture wood spirits with divine sense, enhancing the sensitivity and range of perception of the divine sense. When practiced to a high level, one can perceive the growing state of nearby spiritual medicines in an instant.

The wood spirits nurtured by this spell can be used for cultivating spiritual medicine, but they also serve as warnings or for seeking spiritual medicine in the wild. Their usefulness should not be underestimated.

In addition, this spell is of great help to the practice of alchemy and becoming an alchemist, with many benefits.

It just happens to be quite difficult to master.

Of course, that’s for other people. For Su Yu, it’s just a matter of how long it takes to accumulate proficiency.

When Su Yu saw this spell, he decided to practice the Nourishing Spirit Technique next.

The pleasant surprise was that the spiritual energy in the medicine plantation was more abundant than at the mansion, which slightly improved Su Yu’s cultivation speed.

On the third night after Su Yu arrived at the medicine plantation, several shouts suddenly came from outside, “Monsters! Quick, stop them! They’re here again to steal the spiritual medicine!”

After a lot of commotion, the noise finally quieted down. It seemed that two monsters were killed, but some managed to escape.

Originally, Su Yu thought that the monsters from outside were attracted to the medicine plantation and unintentionally broke in.

But after a few days, traces of monsters appeared in the medicine plantation again.

This time, he heard the elders outside discussing.

“They’re back again, why have monsters been appearing frequently recently?”

“I heard that this monster is called an Earth Rock Beast, a kind of group monster that lives underground, and also…”

“It is said that most Earth Rock Beast herds will nest on top of a spirit vein.”

“No way? Is the rumor true?”

“Very likely. Didn’t the master say before, not to discuss this matter.”

“That’s great. Not discussing it is right. If it’s really like that, our Su family might soar to the sky, surpassing the Lin family in one fell swoop.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu in the room had a sudden jolt of heart.

Earth Rock Beast?

He was familiar with this little creature. It looked like a rat, about the size of a cat or dog.

It’s good at digging, capable of burrowing into both soil and rock.

It was a type of group monster that he frequently eradicated in his previous life’s cultivation game. Its habits were to nest in spirit veins and eat spirit stones or nearby rocks.

Therefore, for the safety of the spirit veins, it was necessary to frequently eliminate the Earth Rock Beasts.

From the current situation in the medicine plantation, Earth Rock Beasts should have just appeared here, which indicated-

Underneath the medicine plantation, or perhaps nearby, there is a high probability that a first-grade spirit vein is hidden.

Even though it’s the worst kind of spirit vein, it’s still a spirit vein.

Neither the Su family nor the Lin family currently have their own spirit vein as the foundation of their legacy.

If this news gets out, would the Lin family sit back and watch the Su family monopolize the spirit vein?

Also, the nearby cultivation forces or families might be drawn by the news.

Then, the medicine plantation might be in danger.

With this thought, Su Yu instantly felt restless.
