Chapter 23

"This kid, how is he a bit strange."

When Gongsun Yang noticed Yu Zhangsheng's gaze, the other party had already lowered his head, but this did not prevent him from perceiving the change just now.

"Could it be that he really learned something?"

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yang laughed and shook his head.

The many Outer Sect Disciples who followed him to learn all didn't learn a bit of skill, how could a mere Disciple possibly learn something in one day.

Gongsun Yang only felt he had slept too much, producing an illusion, so he continued to speak about some small knowledge of the Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy.

This method has three essences: the initial is "Slow", the middle is "Stillness", the high is "Void".

But how to be slow, each person has their own comprehension; don't look at those disciples all sleeping, actually they are all imitating Gongsun Yang's slowness.

Yet those who can truly comprehend are none, after all learning from me brings life, resembling me brings death; they fundamentally haven't gone to wholeheartedly experience what is "Slow Work Produces Fine Results".

Even when he originally learned this Alchemy, it took him a year and a half to achieve Entry.

Only Yu Zhangsheng, by borrowing System Essence, could achieve Entry in one go.

After the lecture ended, long after Gongsun Yang left, the other disciples gradually woke up.

"Ah? It's over? Today still didn't learn anything."

Tang Xing scratched his head, somewhat dejectedly shouted: "I suspect that old man is just perfunctory with us, what kind of teaching is this, next month I absolutely won't renew!"

"Exactly, I'm heartbroken over these spirit stones, next month I'll switch to another Pill Master's class, I heard the Dao Friends who came with me have already preliminarily achieved Entry."

Beside, an Outer Sect Disciple stood up to complain.

"Hush, walls have ears, just say this in your heart, don't spit it out."

Another Outer Sect Disciple hurriedly said.

"Eh, he still hasn't woken up? Could he really have fallen asleep?"

Speaking, the three disciples looked toward Yu Zhangsheng who arrived latest.

"Probably some Great Family's disciple, bad aptitude assigned to Disciple, taking out so many spirit stones to learn Alchemy, even more prodigal than me."

"Let's disperse, let's disperse."

Tang Xing curiously sized up Yu Zhangsheng, then left with the other two disciples.

One hour later, Yu Zhangsheng quietly woke up, glanced at his own data.

Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy increased by 10 points, First Rank Alchemy only increased by 1 point.

If there were no System, he would have to follow Gongsun Yang for three months to raise Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy to Entry Peak.

"Hard, hard, no wonder many people can't learn orthodox Alchemy, these methods demand too much comprehension; clever as I am, one class only adds 10 points, let alone others."

Yu Zhangsheng sighed, tidied his mood, left the Lian Lian Dan Tang.

Next he must properly save Essence, first increase Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy; only when technique rises will understanding of Alchemy deepen.

When both reach a certain level, he can try refining the first furnace of Pills.

Just like this, one month later, Yu Zhangsheng finished Gongsun Yang's course; to continue listening to his class would require spending another three hundred thirty-three spirit stones.

During this time, Yu Zhangsheng also sold two Spirit Chicken Kings, plus last time's remaining spirit stones and this month's wages, he had a total of one hundred fifty-eight Low-grade Spirit Stones on him.

This bit of spirit stones, still not enough for half of next month's course.

And he also didn't plan to continue listening, because Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy foundation through point allocation had already risen to Familiarity, even First Rank Alchemy had upgraded to Second Rank Alchemy.

With his current level refining First Rank Pills is already a ten-grab-nine-stable matter; these spirit stones naturally must be spent on purchasing Spirit Herbs, continuing to listen to these basic knowledge is already useless.

Gongsun Yang opened his eyes a slit, saw Yu Zhangsheng leave, thought secretly. As expected this child also doesn't suit this method, sigh, it's me thinking too much.

Could this method truly be cut off in my generation? Thinking of his own Master's dying entrustment to carry forward this Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy, he feels guilt in his heart.

His aptitude among Pill Masters is not Excellent, so only at such an old age did he Breakthrough to Third Rank; truly talented Alchemists would only go learn fast, urgent methods, not his kind of slow Alchemy art.

"No one recognizes the true method ah!"

Gongsun Yang sighed once, closed his eyes again and dozed off.

On the other side, after Yu Zhangsheng left the Main Peak he came to Yu Fang City.

Inside the Lian Lian Dan Tang actually also has the Spirit Medicines he needs, even able to purchase all at once, only the price would be a few points higher than the Outside World, not something he can bear.

He this kind of small household, still better to save a bit where he can.

"What does this Immortal Master plan to buy? Our First Grade Medicine Hall has everything, even Foundation Establishment Pill every other year can be gotten."

Yu Zhangsheng just arrived at the Medicine Hall, saw a Blue-Clad Attendant smilingly welcome him.

At this time he had already put on disguise, displayed Cultivation Base is Qi Refining Peak.

"Have Pill Formulas?"

Yu Zhangsheng used a low hoarse voice to ask.

Blue-Clad Attendant hearing, immediately felt big business arrived, face full of smiles said: "Have have have, First Rank all kinds of Pills' Pill Formulas we have, only the price is not too cheap."

Those coming to buy Pill Formulas are none other than two kinds of people: one kind is Cultivators just contacting Alchemy, one kind is Alchemists wanting to refine other Pills.

Regardless which kind, both can cooperate with First Grade Medicine Hall to buy and sell.

Like Yu Fang City some Loose Cultivator Alchemists, refined good quality Pills all bring here to sell, because the price given is high; poor quality ones they set up stalls themselves, casually dispose.

"This Immortal Master, look at these few Pill Formulas." Blue-Clad Attendant brought Yu Zhangsheng to inside a display stand, introduced.

"First Rank Bi Gu Dan, Qi Blood Pill, Huang San Pill, Gathering Qi Pill, Antidote Pill"

"These Pill Formulas difficulty from small to large, among them Antidote Pill ranks First Rank High Grade, can resolve most toxins, even if hit by Poison Spirit Python's deadly poison also no obstruction."

Yu Zhangsheng finished reading, felt toothache.

These Pill Formulas' prices compared to what he imagined are even more expensive; even Bi Gu Dan Formula that any Alchemist would know costs twenty-five Low-grade Spirit Stones, robbery? "These prices are much more expensive than Outside World." Yu Zhangsheng looked up and asked.

"Hehe, Immortal Master jokes; those Loose Cultivators' Pill Formulas in Outside World how can they compare to our First Grade Medicine Hall, our Pill Formulas' refining methods are all meticulous, and how many Spirit Medicines are all carefully calculated; not to say Pill Formation rate higher than them, probability of refining Pill Patterns also greatly increased."

Blue-Clad Attendant stretched hand to point, proudly said: "For example this Gathering Qi Pill Formula, as long as method strictly follows above to form pills, one furnace can produce eight or more, those with One-Path Pill Pattern not less than three."

"But following other Loose Cultivators' Pill Formulas, success probability low not to mention, whether can form six is a problem; this one increase one decrease, if refine a few more furnaces, the spirit stones spent aren't still more than our Pill Formulas?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhangsheng pondered for a moment and felt that what he said was not without reason.

"Then I'll buy this Pill Formula."

The Blue-Clad Attendant immediately revealed a smile and took out the Pill Formula.

"Gathering Qi Pill Formula, First Rank High Grade, one hundred and five Low-grade Spirit Stones."

"I wonder if the Immortal Master needs anything else?"

"Prepare all the materials listed on this for me as well."

"Right away!"
