80: Chapter 8 First-Rank Alchemist - 34%

Suddenly, an even richer and more refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted towards him!

At the bottom of the furnace, ten round pills the size of longans and with a warm, milky white color were visible.

They lay there quietly, each one radiating a pure and soft luster.

High-grade spirit nurturing pills!

And there were ten of them!

In the knowledge he had received, he clearly knew.

For one set of medicinal ingredients, the theoretical limit for pill formation was ten!

And now, not only had he refined ten pills, but they had also reached high-grade!

This meant he had maximized the value of these ingredients with almost zero waste!

This level of control was enough to make many veteran alchemists who had spent years immersed in the Dao of Alchemy feel ashamed!

"Hahaha! I succeeded! I really succeeded!"

Immense joy washed away his fatigue.

Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter echoing within the small Alchemy Room.

After the excitement passed.

Without any hesitation, he immediately popped a pill into his mouth.

The spirit nurturing pill slid down his throat, instantly transforming into a warm and mellow medicinal power.

It surged straight into the depths of his damaged mind, beginning to silently nourish and repair it.

Qin Yan knew that for pills like this that nourished and repaired the spirit's origin, the medicinal effect required time to manifest.

It was impossible to see immediate results.

Just like the nourishing spirit pill, it would take quite some time for significant effects to appear.

At this moment, his materials for refining spirit nurturing pills were exhausted, and he couldn't continue.

"Should I strike while the iron is hot and add more points to the alchemy profession?"

He began to calculate in his mind.

Although he had unlocked the First-Grade Alchemist profession and mastered dozens of Pill Formulas.

The two most desired and practical basic Pill Formulas—the first-grade qi and blood pill and the body tempering pill.

Had not appeared in the previous inheritance.

These two pills were the hard currency for a First Grade Martial Artist's cultivation, and their consumption was enormous.

If he could refine them himself, it would save him a massive amount of resources.

"Add! I must add!"

After only a moment's hesitation, Qin Yan made up his mind.

If he could refine these two pills himself.

It meant he would completely escape the predicament of resource scarcity.

Achieving self-sufficiency in cultivation resources, and even becoming wealthy!

One must know that a single high-grade first-grade qi and blood pill sold for as much as fifty thousand huaxia coins.

Although he wasn't yet clear on the specific material cost to refine a qi and blood pill.

Based on his rough understanding of the medicinal ingredient market.

The total cost for one set of materials would definitely not exceed two hundred thousand huaxia coins!

And he usually produced ten pills per furnace!

A fivefold profit—it was simply exorbitant!

Thinking of it, he did it; Qin Yan no longer hesitated.

He immediately focused his thoughts and once again channeled his accumulated Skill Points.

He continuously poured them into the [First-Grade Alchemist] column on the mental panel.

He currently had 48 Skill Points left.

During this period, although his mental state was poor.

Except for August 29th, when his body truly couldn't hold on and he didn't train.

For the rest of the time, his daily basic training never completely stopped.

Therefore, he had also accumulated quite a few Skill Points.

He didn't use these points to advance the progress of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear.

Because he knew very well that the biggest bottleneck currently restricting his cultivation progress wasn't his martial art realm.

But actual cultivation resources!

Without resources like golden scale grass, iron bone flower, and body tempering pills.

No matter how high his Body Tempering Martial Art realm was, the efficiency of Skin Tempering would be greatly reduced.

In comparison, investing in alchemy to solve the resource crisis was undoubtedly the wiser choice.

With a thought, Qin Yan first invested 2 Skill Points.

In an instant, the progress bar for [First-Grade Alchemist] jumped from 1% to 20%!

Another vast flood of information surged into his mind.

This time, it contained the complete refining methods, techniques, and experience for dozens of other first grade pills.

Qin Yan held his breath and focused, quickly sorting through this newly acquired knowledge.

Soon, an uncontrollable light of joy erupted in his eyes!

"Found it! The first-grade qi and blood pill!"

In this new wave of inheritance.

He had finally found the complete refining method for the [first-grade qi and blood pill] he had been dreaming of!

From the ratio and processing of main and auxiliary medicinal ingredients.

To the control of the heat at every step, and then to the key knacks during pill condensation.

Every detail was crystal clear, as if he had already successfully refined it thousands of times.

"Great! Then... continue!"

The initial success gave Qin Yan a huge boost in confidence.

He simply steeled his heart and invested all the remaining 28 Skill Points without reservation!

The progress bar for [First-Grade Alchemist] soared again, finally stopping at 34%!

The flood of knowledge that poured in this time was more majestic than any before!

It involved nearly a hundred types of pills!

The sheer volume of information.

Made Qin Yan feel his head swelling slightly.

He spent nearly half a quarter of an hour.

Before he could preliminarily sort through and comprehend this massive amount of information.

At this moment, purely in terms of the variety of first grade Pill Formulas he had mastered.

Qin Yan had already surpassed the vast majority of low-grade alchemists in the Xia Kingdom, enough to join the top ranks!

"It wasn't in vain to consume so many Skill Points.

Increasing the progress to 34%...

Finally, I've finally unlocked the [body tempering pill] as well!"

In this latest inheritance he received.

He had found the complete refining method for the [body tempering pill] as he had wished!

Qin Yan's heart was filled with irrepressible excitement, and he couldn't wait to try refining it immediately.

Without a word.

He quickly packed his personal belongings in the Alchemy Room and strode out.

He arrived once again at the spacious and bright first-floor hall of the Hundred Herbs Hall.

He walked straight to the medicinal ingredient sales area.

According to the Pill Formulas in his mind.

He skillfully recited all the materials needed for refining the [body tempering pill] and the [first-grade qi and blood pill].

"Tranquil Grass, Red Blood Ginseng, iron bone flower... Earth Vein Ganoderma, Vajra Liquid..."

The staff skillfully prepared the medicinal ingredients for him.

The original price of the medicinal ingredients totaled three hundred and fifty thousand huaxia coins.

When Qin Yan used that Diamond VIP Card, the price was immediately discounted by thirty percent.

The final transaction was for two hundred and forty-five thousand huaxia coins!

Carrying the bag of medicinal ingredients that held his hopes for future cultivation, Qin Yan returned to the rented Alchemy Room.

However, he did not start refining pills immediately.

Having just continuously accepted a vast inheritance of alchemy knowledge, as well as the consumption from refining the spirit nurturing pill earlier.

Both his mental energy and physical strength were at a low point and needed to recover.

He sat cross-legged on a futon inside the Alchemy Room.

He closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, letting his exhausted spirit slowly recover.

During this time, he also went to the front desk to renew his usage time for another four hours.

Spending four thousand huaxia coins, he left himself plenty of room to operate.

After resting for a full two hours, Qin Yan felt his consumed mental energy had barely recovered by more than half.

His mind also became clear once again.

He wondered if the high-grade spirit nurturing pill he had taken earlier had already begun to take effect.

He felt the grogginess in his mind dissipate a lot.

His thinking was clearer and sharper than before.
