55: System panel changes

Without further ado, Qin Yue immediately started idling practice of the "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" in this Alchemy Room.

The proficiency of "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" increased rapidly; although each successful application only granted one point of proficiency, it was performed quickly.

In less than a second, "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" could be performed once. Although the failure rate was high, the speed of idling Cultivation far exceeded that of a normal person's Cultivation.

Qin Yue stood beside the Alchemy Furnace, his hands continuously waving. Wisps of Qi were drawn from the Alchemy Furnace and then returned to it.

It was fortunate that Qin Yue was the only one in the Alchemy Room. If anyone else had seen him, they might have thought he was having a hand cramp!

In less than five minutes, with a "ding-dong" sound, the System notification tone Qin Yue had set rang out, indicating that "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" had broken through to the Proficient Realm.

The "ding-dong" sound startled Qin Yue. Because the practice speed was so intense, Qin Yue's consciousness was completely immersed in the practice of "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand."

However, this "ding-dong" sound not only interrupted Qin Yue's immersive experience but also sparked inspiration within him.

He didn't just have one hand!

Qin Yue had always used his right hand to perform "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" before. Couldn't his left hand perform it too?

So, he tried to perform "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" once with his left hand.

It failed. He tried again.

It failed. He tried again.

After ten attempts, Qin Yue finally succeeded.

Once it succeeded, things became easier. Although Qin Yue himself was unaccustomed to using his left hand for Cultivation, the AFK System wouldn't be!

Just as Qin Yue was about to split his Blood Qi and use both hands for idling at the same time, he stopped!

Qin Yue looked down, then took off his shoes...

An hour passed, and another "ding-dong" sound, a notification, came.

The "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" Rank entered the Mastery Realm.

Qin Yue stopped idling, nervously opening a crack in the Alchemy Room door to peek outside. Seeing no one, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although simultaneously Cultivating with both hands and feet could achieve four times the original Cultivation speed, constantly shaking his hands and feet so rapidly was too embarrassing.

If he were in his previous life, and someone saw Qin Yue making such movements, they would definitely think he was being electrocuted!

Since no one saw him, Qin Yue let go of his psychological burden and continued to grind his skills...

With the "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" at the Mastery Realm, the success rate of collecting Qi could reach 100%. So, even though the proficiency requirement increased tenfold, it took less than three hours for "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" to reach the Expert Realm.

Qin Yue tried the Expert Realm "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand"; one use could collect three wisps of Qi.

For this batch of "Qingming Pill," Qin Yue felt that the Expert-level "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" was completely sufficient.

He planned to Cultivate other skills first, and then Cultivate "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand" when he needed to refine multiple sets of Medicinal Materials at once.

Beside the Pill Furnace for the "Qingming Pill," Qin Yue opened another Pill Furnace to refine the "yinqi pill" he had learned yesterday.

The refining of the "yinqi pill" required a long time. When Master taught it yesterday, one refining session also took three hours.

From selecting Medicinal Materials to starting the fire for Alchemy, Qin Yue spent a total of five hours, barely finishing the refining before dinner.

When Qin Yue opened the lid of the Alchemy Furnace with anticipation, a burnt smell mixed with medicinal aroma and steam wafted out from the Alchemy Furnace. From this smell, Qin Yue already felt something was wrong!

He took out the Medicinal Pill from the furnace, examined it in his hand, and then scraped off a little powder to taste it.

Qin Yue was completely certain that this Alchemy had failed!

However, Qin Yue was prepared for this Alchemy failure. His "yinqi pill" refining skill was originally Entry-Level, so failure was a high probability event.

But even though this Medicinal Pill refining failed, Qin Yue was not discouraged at all.

Because his goal had been achieved.

His fundamental purpose for this Medicine Refining was not to successfully refine the "yinqi pill," but to explore Master's Alchemy method. Now he had a clue.

He opened the System panel and saw that the Medicine Refining section on the panel had changed.

Start Idling (Yes/No)

All the Medicinal Pills Qin Yue had learned before disappeared from the System panel. Medicine Refining skills were uniformly classified into Fire Control Method and Fusion Method, with an additional Qi gathering method learned today, "Qinglu Ningzhen Hand."

This meant that as long as Qin Yue mastered the Fire Control Method and Fusion Method, no new Pill Formula would be difficult for him once he was familiar with the medicinal properties. He would no longer need to grind proficiency for each individual Medicinal Pill.

After dinner, Master began to individually instruct Qin Yue on "Shadow Step" and "Yin Yang Dual Revolving Refining Energy Art."

Before the instruction, Qin Yue first asked Master a question.

"During the daytime today, when Master taught Disciple the refining of 'Qingming Pill,' Disciple observed a phenomenon.

During the refining process of 'yinqi pill' and 'Qingming Pill,' Master's handling of Materials with similar characteristics in both Pill Formulas was almost identical.

The fire control and Fusion Methods throughout the entire Medicine Refining process also subtly followed a pattern.

Disciple wants to ask Master, does Master have a special method for Alchemy, where all Medicinal Pills can be refined using the same principle?

If Disciple wants to reach Master's level, where he is completely familiar with the fire control and Fusion Methods for all Medicinal Materials, what Medicinal Pill should he practice to make his Medicine Refining ability grow faster?"

After hearing Qin Yue's question, Yan Zhongyi's smile bloomed on his face, and he couldn't stop grinning.

"Qin Yue, I didn't misjudge you!

I said before that I would Cultivate you, to let you carry on the torch of the Medicine Sage's spirit.

Now it seems, you are naturally suited for Medicine Refining!

You should know that before you, your Senior Brother Jiang Shang was the fastest person to become a formal Disciple.

He was able to be accepted as a formal Disciple by me so quickly, besides his outstanding character, it was because of his extremely strong Medicine Refining talent. Within three months, he comprehended the essence of the Chaoyang Cave lineage's Alchemy techniques.

And you, Qin Yue!

You comprehended these things on your second day of learning Medicine Refining. And you still say you're not the fated Legacy of Pill Refining Peak?"
