Chapter 127: Zi Yan Returns
This method is also a commonly used way for alchemists to improve their alchemy skills.
After all, only by trying many times can one possibly grasp the key points of higher-level alchemy, thereby improving one's ability.
At the same time, when some alchemists want a pill of one higher grade, they also use this method.
Because an alchemist's rank is not as strict as that of a cultivator.
Including the rating system, except for a few particularly strict locations.
Most other alchemist guilds usually just give you three portions of materials.
No matter if it's luck or whatever, as long as you can successfully refine, you are a certain-rank alchemist.
So, a certain-rank alchemist merely means his probability of successfully refining a pill of that rank exceeds thirty percent.
And those with probability below that are lower-rank alchemists.
Therefore, a lower-rank alchemist, with the help of some external objects to raise the probability a bit, can refine a pill of one higher rank.
Of course, this can only cross a small few ranks, not too many.
For example, Han Feng, although he is a six-star peak alchemist.
He, through different fire, the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and some external objects' help, plus decent luck, can also refine a seven-star low-grade pill.
But if you ask him to refine a seven-star peak pill, such as the Life-devouring Pill,
Even if you give him a hundred portions of materials, in the end he will most likely just be practicing, and not a single pill will be produced.
However, alchemists can also refine higher-grade pills by cooperating with others.
This is like two cultivators of the same rank joining forces to face a higher-rank enemy.
If the two cooperate well, they also have a chance to win.
Gazing at the medicine cauldron before him, Lin Feng poured orange flame into it, then tossed in the medicinal ingredients to begin refinement.
In this refinement step, it's basically safe; he successfully refined all the medicinal ingredients into essence.
But upon reaching the fusion step, four consecutive failures made him somewhat doubt life.
"It's fine; maybe next time it'll succeed."
After comforting himself with a sentence, Lin Feng continued to pick up some medicinal essence nearby, toss it into the cauldron, and then begin fusion.
Inside, the dozens of clumps of various medicinal liquids, under the pressure of soul power, began to slowly merge into one.
"Bang!"
With a muffled bang, the dozens of precious medicinal ingredients inside the cauldron instantly turned into a handful of ash.
"Uh, it's fine, try again."
Muttering to himself, he continued to pour in the medicinal liquid and began to complete the next step.
Perhaps because the previous failures gave him much experience, this fusion went especially smoothly.
Soon, those five-colored medicinal liquids, under the cooperation of his soul power and flame, gradually condensed into a solid proto-pill.
Reaching this step, the pill refinement is already more than half successful.
However, he still dare not relax, carefully controlling the flame's temperature.
If he fails at this final step, he would cry himself to death.
After all, this pill is hard-won success; it must not become a waste pill.
Half an hour later, accompanied by the pill's sudden burst of strong energy ripples,
crisp metallic clashing sounds rang out instantly inside the training chamber.
However, since Lin Feng dared to refine pills here, he must have checked the room's condition.
The special material used to build Chamber One not only provides soundproofing,
but also absorbs various energies, making the outside unable to sense them.
According to his estimate, even an ordinary six-star pill would not be detected outside; there's no need to worry about being discovered.
When the energy impact ended, Lin Feng swiftly drew the emerald-green pill into his palm, happily gazing at his first Dou Ling Pill.
"Great, I hope the remaining six portions of materials can also yield a Dou Ling Pill."
He placed the pill in his hand into a decent-quality jade bottle for storage, then began another round of refinement.
Although he had experience from the previous attempts, the remaining six portions of materials ultimately yielded only one successful pill.
Afterward, Lin Feng did not stop but continued to refine some pills that the Treasure Pavilion might need.
Time passed quickly amidst the burning orange flame inside the cauldron...
"Ding-dong~"
A few days later, the bell on the training chamber suddenly rang, startling Lin Feng, who was in the middle of refining pills.
Thinking of who might be coming, he quickly gave up the pill he was refining, retrieved the cauldron, and hurried toward the door.
"Lin Feng, these are the things you wanted; this trip so far has exhausted me."
The heavy stone door had just opened, and Zi Yan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, appeared before his eyes.
After glancing at a dozen or so posters, Lin Feng roughly understood the three-year agreement far away.
Gazing at the bone spirit cold fire entwined beside Xiao Yan's image, a surge of joy rose in his heart.
As long as the fact that Xiao Yan possesses the bone spirit cold fire becomes widely known, his plan has already succeeded thirty percent.
"Come in and tell me the details of the three-year agreement."
After storing all the posters in his storage ring, Lin Feng then pulled Zi Yan into the training chamber and had her explain the specifics.
"Sure, but don't forget my pills."
Zi Yan walked in on her short legs, then with a backhand shoved the heavy stone door shut, reminding him.
"Don't worry; once I've processed this information, the pills will naturally be available."
Looking at Zi Yan, who came back demanding payment, Lin Feng replied irritably.
「Hehe. 」
Zi Yan scratched her purple ponytail, then began to explain the specific details of the three-year agreement...
"Hehe, ginger is indeed still old and spicy, Yaochen this old fox, in a few moves he threw the Yun Lan Sect and Hai Bodong's alliance into chaos."
After hearing Zi Yan's account, Lin Feng's vigilance toward Yaochen also suddenly increased.
He secretly reminded himself that in the future, when encountering their master-disciple pair, he should keep a few more wits about him.
If he were to be tricked, he'd have nowhere to cry.
However, regarding Xiao Yan's strength as a four-star Fighter and Nalan Yanran's half-step Spirit, he was still somewhat surprised.
Although he had previously wanted to cause some trouble for Xiao Yan, he never expected Yun Yun to actually achieve this.
He actually forced Nalan Yanran to win the three-year agreement.
Although, for some reasons, the result was set as a draw.
But those strong individuals present watching surely all knew it clearly.
"Hehe, Lin Feng, aside from those things just now, I still gained a nice harvest this time."
At that moment, Zi Yan suddenly gave an evil laugh, and took out the things she had "taken" from the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild.
"Holy shit, where did you get so many rare items."
Looking at the various items placed on the stone platform before him, he exclaimed in shock.
He casually picked up a few items to examine, discovering that these things included a small portion of cultivation methods and fighting skills.
The majority were precious medicinal ingredients and formulas that are extremely hard to find.
Even several of those scrolls were sixth-tier medicinal formulas.
The total value of these items is probably so high that even some small countries would go bankrupt trying to buy them.
