Chapter 73: Doubting life, an alchemy prodigy?!

However, before Jiang Hekang could take action,

he suddenly discovered that the furnace of elixirs Ning An was refining had actually succeeded.

Although the appearance wasn't great, his perception as a martial artist wouldn't be wrong.

This was indeed a Body-Strengthening Pill!

Even Jiang Hekang was a bit doubtful of life at this moment.

Could it be that Ning An had really just stumbled upon success like a blind cat finding a dead mouse?

Fortunately, Ning An started another furnace.

This time, Jiang Hekang's attention was entirely focused on Ning An.

Even his teaching speed slowed down a beat.

In reality, Jiang Hekang didn't know that Ning An felt he gained new insights with every failure.

Through constant failure, he gradually mastered some essentials.

In fact, Ning An was more holding onto the idea of just giving it a try.

Because this "Alchemy Diligence" ability only stated that refining elixirs would increase proficiency.

It didn't state that one must successfully refine an elixir to increase proficiency.

The difference between these two was not small!

So refining the Body-Strengthening Pill wasn't entirely a whim for Ning An.

He was also holding onto the idea of testing this ability.

And the result was just as Ning An had thought.

"In other words, if I were to directly refine Sixth Grade elixirs now, it would also be possible."

Especially as his insights increased with every attempt, Ning An couldn't help but have a new idea.

Generally speaking, the basic requirement for refining Sixth Grade elixirs is being a Sixth Grade martial artist.

Because only Sixth Grade martial artists have enough spiritual power to support elixir refining.

Many higher-grade elixirs have more cumbersome steps and require spiritual power control.

However, Ning An wasn't in a hurry, because for now, he would first refine the Body-Strengthening Pills in front of him.

This talent ability had more potential than he had imagined.

The second furnace of Body-Strengthening Pills was even better in quality than he had imagined.

And the finished product wasn't just one pill, but two.

This was already no small progress!

Jiang Hekang, who had been watching this side, was completely dumbfounded.

Because Ning An had really managed to refine it.

"Could it be that Ning An's determined talent also has a bonus for alchemy?!"

Even Jiang Hekang couldn't help but speculate.

It was mainly because the previous scene was truly a bit shocking.

This meant that Ning An was now a Third Grade alchemist!

Although Ning An had only refined one type of Third Grade elixir so far.

But the judgment was just like that.

After all, it had only been three hundred years since the spiritual energy recovery.

Elixirs had only been on the rise for two hundred years.

The number of alchemists was far from sufficient, which was one reason why elixir prices remained high.

That was why the judgment was so hasty!

At this, Jiang Hekang really couldn't hold back anymore.

"Kid Ning, don't tell me your alchemy level was already Third Grade?!"

There was no help for it; none of the instructors present could refine Body-Strengthening Pills.

Yet Ning An had refined it!

How could this not make one's thoughts fly?

"Dean, is it possible that I just happen to have a unique talent for the Body-Strengthening Pill?"

Ning An said slowly!

He had no intention of pretending to be some alchemy genius.

After all, his "Alchemy Diligence" ability would only last for one month.

After a month, wouldn't he be exposed!

So there was no need to do that.

Afterward, Jiang Hekang tested him on common Third Grade alchemy techniques, but Ning An was completely clueless.

For a moment, even Jiang Hekang didn't know what to make of Ning An's situation.

If he were to call him a Third Grade alchemist, Ning An didn't even know the basic techniques.

But he could refine Body-Strengthening Pills that many Third Grade alchemists couldn't.

In short, Jiang Hekang was also quite bewildered at this moment.

"An alchemy prodigy?!"

Finally, Jiang Hekang couldn't help but think this.

There are so many oddities in martial arts cultivation; one more in alchemy was nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to leave Ning An alone.

His main focus was still on teaching those few incompetent instructors to step into Mid-Grade alchemy.

As for Ning An, let him toss and turn!

In any case, Ning An was indeed not wasting materials.

He had indeed succeeded in refining the Body-Strengthening Pills.

As Jiang Hekang continued to busy himself with his teaching, Ning An continued to open a few more furnaces of Body-Strengthening Pills.

He would send them to Wen Zhiqiao when the time came.

However, Ning An was considering whether to utilize this month.

To try and refine Sixth Grade elixirs.

Unlike Third Grade elixirs, refining Sixth Grade elixirs was not simple.

Each furnace required at least half a day.

Plus the time for spiritual power recovery!

He could only refine one furnace a day at most.

Which meant if he didn't succeed before the ability ended,

then he would be in an awkward position!

It would be equivalent to investing material and human resources for a month with no harvest.

Especially since a furnace of materials cost at least over a million spirit stones.

This was not cheap!

The current price of Sixth Grade elixirs was truly not low.

A single pill could easily sell for several million spirit stones.

After considering it for a while, Ning An finally decided to give it a try.

After all, because of this ability, he could now cross so many alchemy grades.

Generally speaking, one wants to refine elixirs by thoroughly mastering the knowledge points of each alchemy grade.

Unlike Ning An, who directly crossed grades to refine Sixth Grade elixirs.

"Which type of Sixth Grade elixir is better to choose?"

Ning An soon began to think about which Sixth Grade elixir he should refine.

There were quite a few elixir formulas and teaching videos for Sixth Grade elixirs.

After all, he was fortunate to have Jiang Hekang, a High-Grade alchemist.

And compared to martial arts inheritance, alchemist inheritance was not that secretive.

Alchemists themselves have cultivation base restrictions; otherwise, they simply cannot refine certain elixirs.

So they didn't value teaching inheritance that much.

Because if the cultivation base isn't up to standard and there's no alchemy talent, one simply can't learn it.

It would just be a waste of time.

"Sixth Grade elixir, Purple Spirit Pill!"

Finally, Ning An chose one type of elixir.

The Purple Spirit Pill, this type of elixir is mainly used for state recovery.

Because of the fusion of spirit and blood-Qi.

Ordinary recovery elixirs no longer have much effect.

Specialized elixirs are needed for recovery.

And the Purple Spirit Pill is such an elixir; it can not only recover blood-Qi but also has a certain effect on recovering spirit.

Of course, for such an elixir, the materials are not cheap!

At least 1.5 million spirit stones for one furnace of materials.

Especially since it relates to spirit recovery, one might even have to pay a premium.

Although the final cost might exceed his imagination.

But Ning An could be considered wealthy enough for now.

Secondly, having mastered the method of refining the Purple Spirit Pill, he could also supplement his spirit stones by refining elixirs.

After deciding, Ning An quickly began to seek to purchase Purple Spirit Pill materials through the Nanjiang Martial Arts University network.

Fortunately, the Purple Spirit Pill is mainly for recovering blood-Qi, and spirit recovery is more of a secondary benefit.

Otherwise, collecting the materials would not have been so easy.
