Strange fire from heaven and earth, spiritual flames from all beasts!

Having witnessed the terrifying wealth-gathering ability of a Civilization Master, Jiang Qing decided to improve his Alchemy abilities and quickly raise his Civilization Master Realm in the coming period.

A single deployment could make him a Four-Rank Peak Alchemist. If he worked hard in reality to improve his Alchemy Realm, his next deployment would start him as at least a Five-Rank Alchemist.

He already had a fortune comparable to a Martial King at the Four-Rank Peak. What would it be like when he reached the Five-Rank Alchemist Realm?

If he further enhanced his Civilization Master cultivation, a Six-Rank Alchemist would not be a dream.

By massively accumulating wealth as an Alchemist during deployments, he could accumulate more resources for himself in reality. With both complementing each other, the path to the Peak was right before him!

Without further ado, Jiang Qing walked to the nearby Martial Artist Street and purchased some low-level Spirit Medicine for Alchemy.

Returning home, he entered the Martial Arts Cultivation Room.

With a thought, the Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron settled heavily in the center.

The Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron was not just a tool for storing Spirit Lightning; it was also a Medicine Cauldron, a top-tier Medicine Cauldron that had reached the Heaven Rank Peak.

It was precisely by relying on the Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron and the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame that Jiang Qing was able to make rapid progress in the Dao of Alchemy, becoming a Four-Rank Peak Alchemist within a year of his first exposure to Alchemy.

Boom!

The Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame flared up in his right hand. Jiang Qing tossed it into the Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron and skillfully began Alchemy.

Refining a First-Rank Medicinal Pill with the skill of a Four-Rank Peak Alchemist was overkill. Jiang Qing had long memorized the method for refining First-Rank Medicinal Pills and did not need to be overly cautious.

He put the main Alchemy Materials into the Medicine Cauldron. In less than a minute, the Medicinal Materials were refined into a Medicinal Liquid. Immediately after, other auxiliary Materials were added and all refined into Medicinal Liquid.

He then activated the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame to solidify the Medicinal Liquid into a Medicinal Pill, which finally took shape.

In less than 20 minutes, a wisp of Medicinal Pill fragrance wafted from the Cauldron, and the Medicinal Pills were out of the furnace.

Nine First-Rank Yuan Condensing Pills were produced, all with perfect quality. Each was valued at 1500 federal currency.

The total value of the Materials for this batch of Medicinal Pills was only 1500 federal currency. With nine Medicinal Pills produced per batch, he made a net profit of 12,000.

With Jiang Qing's Alchemy skill, as long as his Mental Energy was sufficient, he could continuously refine Medicinal Pills all day. In less than a month, he could accumulate a large amount of wealth…

Thoughts flashed through his mind as Jiang Qing focused on Alchemy.

The process of refining Medicinal Pills consumed a great deal of Mental Energy, which also served as a method for Jiang Qing to Cultivate his Mental Energy.

The Expanding Spirit Art was constantly tempering his Mental Energy, and this speed would gradually increase during his Alchemy process.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The temperature of the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame soared, and batches of Medicinal Pills were rapidly produced in less than half an hour.

Jiang Qing quickly mastered the Alchemy memories in his mind, becoming a qualified First-Rank Alchemist. Unfortunately, his Mental Energy was insufficient; otherwise, he would immediately be able to start refining Second-Rank Medicinal Pills.

In the evening,

After the last batch of Medicinal Pills was produced, Jiang Qing retrieved the Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron and stopped refining.

Although he still had enough Mental Energy, his spirit was utterly exhausted. Continuing Alchemy would damage his Soul, making it not worth the effort.

“Alchemy efficiency can still be improved. Next, I need to upgrade my hardware conditions.”

“The Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron has reached the limit of what I can currently use. The Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame can still be upgraded. If I advance it to a Heaven and Earth Different Fire, my Alchemy efficiency can once again greatly improve.”

Jiang Qing recalled his recent Alchemy session, and an idea formed in his mind.

The factors affecting an Alchemist's efficiency were nothing more than three points: Alchemy experience, Medicine Cauldron, and Alchemy Spirit Fire.

For Jiang Qing, Alchemy experience was not lacking. With the Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron, he had enough support to go far in the Dao of Alchemy. Only the Alchemy Spirit Fire could still be improved.

The Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame had the potential to become a Heaven and Earth Different Fire. Once it transformed into a Heaven and Earth Different Fire, it would greatly enhance Jiang Qing's Alchemy efficiency.

According to Jiang Qing's estimation, the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame advancing to the Heaven and Earth Different Fire Realm could at least increase his Alchemy efficiency by 1/3.

The path to immense wealth was right before him!

Jiang Qing suppressed his excitement and began to eat.

After eating, Jiang Qing read a book for a while to rest his spirit, then immersed himself in Martial Arts Cultivation.

The next day,

“System activated!”

Jiang Qing selected the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame for deployment.

【Deployment Item】: Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.

【Deployment World】: Battlefield of the Heavens.

【Deployment Time】: Ancient Era.

【Duration】: 1000 years.

【Deployment Environment】: A place where countless top-tier Yao Beasts have died, with various Yao Beast remnant Souls wandering around.

【Deployment Condition】: Try to make the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame devour more Yao Beast remnant Souls to evolve into a Heaven and Earth Different Fire.

【Deployment begins…】

【100 years have passed. The Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame has devoured a hundred types of Yao Beast remnant Souls, and its flame intensity has increased…】

【300 years have passed. The Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame has devoured a thousand types of Yao Beast remnant Souls, and its quality has improved.】

【700 years have passed. The Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame has devoured the entire Soul of a Yao Beast King, and its quality has greatly improved.】

【1000 years have passed. The Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame has devoured ten thousand types of Yao Beast remnant Souls, evolving into the Heaven and Earth Different Fire “Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.” Its flame intensity has greatly increased, and its damage to Yao Beasts has greatly increased. When this Different Fire appears, all Yao Beasts will submit.】

【Deployment ended. Recalling…】

… …

Whoosh!

The Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire flared up and burned. Relying on his connection with the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, Jiang Qing easily controlled it.

The power of the flame had increased a hundredfold compared to before, transforming decay into wonder. The current Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire could bring Jiang Qing an even more terrifying increase in strength.

After all, it was one of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects. Different Fire was a top-tier treasure on the same level as Spirit Lightning.

He attempted Alchemy, and the efficiency was almost doubled compared to before.

The temperature of the Different Fire was extremely high, capable of instantly turning Medicinal Materials into Spiritual Liquid. He only needed perfect control to quickly form Medicinal Pills.

After a try, Jiang Qing was quite satisfied with the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.

The Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire was versatile, enhancing his Alchemy effects while also improving his combat power as a Martial Artist.

Next, Jiang Qing did not continue Alchemy but focused on Cultivating the Divine Martial Enlightenment Method to consolidate his Martial Dao cultivation.

Time flew by. More than a month had passed, and tomorrow was the college entrance examination, June 7th, the national college entrance examination.

Refining Medicinal Pills consumed too much Mental Energy. Although Jiang Qing was confident he could ace the college entrance examination, to prevent any dark horses from emerging, it was better to maintain his Peak condition for the battle.

Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. Jiang Qing did not want to stumble due to underestimation.

… …

The next day.

“Thump… Thump-thump…”

A knock on the door sounded.

“A Qing, let’s go.”

Jiang Qing opened the door, and Xia Cang stood outside with a smile.

Having not seen him for a while, Xia Cang’s progress in Martial Dao was particularly evident. With the resources from signing with a large company, his current cultivation had reached the High-Level Martial Artist Realm. There was a good chance he would be admitted to a top university in this college entrance examination.

Jiang Qing got into Xia Cang’s car, and the two went to school together.

On the way, they chatted about what this year’s exam questions would be like.

The exam questions from previous years were not always the same. Sometimes they relied on hard strength, and sometimes they considered multiple factors.

Different exam questions would also affect the candidates’ scores, as each candidate specialized in different areas and had different abilities to cope with the questions.

Encountering exam questions that suited one's abilities could allow one to perform far beyond their usual capabilities, thus increasing their chances of getting into a good university.
