89: Chapter 89 Rapid Improvement!

To Qin Yan's satisfaction, the school's Resource Recycling Center offered very fair purchase prices.

The amount of academic credits one could get back during recycling was basically the same as the amount spent to exchange for them.

They wouldn't deliberately suppress prices like the external chambers of commerce.

He immediately operated his smart bracelet and submitted an application to exchange two nourishing spirit pills for academic credits.

After all, the nourishing spirit pills were no longer useful to him.

At the same time, he accepted the missions for "Refining High-Grade body tempering pills" and "Refining High-Grade first-grade qi and blood pills"!

Soon, a knock sounded outside the Alchemy Room.

A staff member in uniform walked in, using professional testing equipment.

They conducted a strict analysis of the ingredients and quality of the two high-grade spirit nurturing pills Qin Yan had submitted.

After confirming there were no issues with the pills, the staff member nodded to Qin Yan and left with the pills.

A moment later, Qin Yan's smart bracelet received a clear notification: "Ding! Your account has received a credit transfer: 2 academic credits."

Startup capital acquired!

Without the slightest delay, Qin Yan immediately entered the school's internal resource library and spent 16 academic credits.

He purchased a complete set of materials required to refine one batch of first-grade qi and blood pills and one batch of body tempering pills.

Under normal circumstances, the price of a set of standard materials was usually about double the exchange price of a single finished pill.

For ordinary alchemists, being able to successfully refine two or three qualified pills per furnace was considered breaking even.

If they could produce four or five pills, it was considered a small profit.

But for a cheater like Qin Yan, who possessed "Perfect Experience" and could stably achieve "Ten Pills per Furnace, Every One High-Grade," the profit margin was simply terrifying!

After deducting costs, the net profit was as high as four times!

Even for someone at the peak of a Second-Grade Alchemist like Lu Youyou.

When refining second-grade pills, it was often difficult to reach high-grade quality.

Even if successful, the pill production rate was usually only two or three pills.

That was barely breaking even.

Once a refinement failed, it was a major loss.

Therefore, many alchemists usually chose to refine pills one grade lower than their own level.

This was to ensure the success rate and profit.

Even so, they could generally only earn a profit of two or three times.

Unless they could refine pills across two grades.

In that case, the probability of refining ten perfect pills would increase greatly.

Soon, the two sets of medicinal materials Qin Yan ordered were delivered to the Alchemy Room.

He focused his mind, cast aside distracting thoughts, and began his morning alchemy work.

Igniting the fire, Furnace Warming, adding medicine, tempering, merging liquids, condensing pills...

The entire process had already become incredibly skillful in his hands, as if it had been tempered a thousand times.

The entire morning slipped away quietly amidst his focused alchemy.

When Qin Yan extinguished the last furnace's Pill Fire.

Two jade bottles were already neatly placed before him: one contained ten high-grade first-grade qi and blood pills, and the other contained ten high-grade body tempering pills.

Looking at the fruits of his labor, a satisfied smile appeared on Qin Yan's face.

He did not choose to exchange all the pills.

He took five qi and blood pills and three body tempering pills to exchange for 32 academic credits.

The remaining pills were kept for his own use in case of emergency.

After completing his morning "money-making" endeavor, Qin Yan did not continue refining pills.

In the afternoon, he had to return to the manor to practice his Spear Technique in order to obtain Skill Points.

Back at the manor, Qin Yan immediately spent 3 academic credits from the credits he had just earned.

He exchanged them for the materials required for three "Golden Body Medicinal Baths"—golden scale grass and iron bone flower.

When the golden scale grass, emitting a faint metallic luster, and the iron bone flower, containing a sense of toughness, were delivered to his door.

A long-lost sense of fulfillment welled up in Qin Yan's heart.

He skillfully prepared the medicinal bath and soaked himself in the bathtub, where the temperature was just right and the medicinal power was surging.

Immediately, streams of gentle yet highly penetrative medicinal power seeped through his pores and into his skin and flesh.

It stimulated his qi and blood to become active, nourishing every inch of his body.

He could clearly feel his body becoming tougher and more full of vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"The feeling of having resources to assist in cultivation... is truly wonderful!"

Qin Yan closed his eyes, enjoying the pleasure of his strength steadily improving.

It had been too long since he had experienced the hearty satisfaction brought by a medicinal bath.

After finishing the medicinal bath, taking advantage of the optimal moment when his body's qi and blood were most active and his pores were wide open.

Qin Yan immediately swallowed a body tempering pill.

At the same time, he circulated the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear and began systematically tempering his entire body's skin and flesh.

Driven by his qi and blood, the massive medicinal power.

It washed through his limbs and bones like a tide, integrating the residual medicinal properties from the bath deeper into his skin and membranes.

When he felt his qi and blood consumption was too high, he would take another first-grade qi and blood pill to quickly replenish the loss.

This kept the tempering process efficient and continuous!

This was what he had planned.

The most efficient daily cultivation package for his current stage: one Golden Body Medicinal Bath, supplemented by one first-grade qi and blood pill and one body tempering pill!

Converted into academic credits, the daily basic resource consumption was as high as 18 credits!

This didn't even count the time and energy he invested himself.

Without a stable source of academic credits, he simply wouldn't be able to support such a luxurious cultivation method.

Hard work paid off.

With such abundant resources stacked up and his own unremitting efforts, Qin Yan's cultivation progress was incredibly fast.

On the third night.

After continuous high-intensity tempering.

The qi and blood in Qin Yan's body roared, and golden light seemed to flow beneath his skin!

The fourth Skin Tempering was successfully completed!

It was also on this day that, through continuous training and assigning Skill Points.

The Skin and Flesh Chapter of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art successfully broke through, entering the realm of the fifth revolution!

The efficiency of tempering skin and flesh was significantly improved once again!

Feeling the even more surging power in his body and his significantly tougher skin and flesh.

Amidst his joy, Qin Yan also maintained a clear awareness.

"The road ahead is still long and difficult..."

He checked his account; after these three days of consumption, his resources were almost exhausted.

Tomorrow, he would have to go to the Alchemy Room to "work" and earn academic credits again.

Furthermore, the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear had only reached the fifth revolution.

There was still a significant distance to the seventh revolution's "Great Success" realm.

Skin Tempering had only been completed four times as well.

As far as he knew, that Jingang who had reclaimed the tenth place had already completed six Skin Temperings.

The progress of other higher-ranking geniuses would only be faster.

"I can't slack off; I must seize every second!"

For the entire following week.

Qin Yan strictly executed the plan he had formulated.

But limited by his energy and the need to ensure martial arts training time to obtain Skill Points.

He generally only refined two furnaces of pills in the morning and devoted himself entirely to Spear Technique practice in the afternoon.

If he had classes, his time would be even tighter!
