Chapter 74: Expensive cost, questioning and face-slapping!

Just buying thirty portions of Purple Spirit Pill materials cost Ning An nearly 70 million spirit stones.

Purchasing at a premium, plus Ning An needed them quite urgently.

And some even required cross-regional transport, needing quite a bit of shipping fees.

Basically, Ning An spent most of the spirit stones he had exchanged from savage beast meat on this.

This was not a small sum!

Even for a High-Grade martial artist, it was not a small amount.

After the materials were bought, Ning An began to refine one furnace of Purple Spirit Pills every day.

At the beginning, of course, it was the same as the Body-Strengthening Pills before.

Basically, several furnaces exploded directly.

It was just that the steps for the Purple Spirit Pill were too cumbersome.

Even though Ning An had no errors in memory and such, problems appeared in his control.

A slight carelessness, and the furnace would explode directly.

This also made Jiang Hekang look at Ning An very unfavorably recently.

Because every furnace that exploded was over 2 million spirit stones worth of materials.

This made the few instructors following the Dean to learn feel very pained.

After all, if these spirit stones were given to them, they could use them for a long time.

Yet they were just gone like that in an exploded furnace, and he even had to pay for the cost of a furnace.

"What on earth is this person trying to do!?"

Many instructors couldn't understand Ning An's actions.

Refining what, to be like this!

And this person had exploded several furnaces in a row, yet he was still continuing.

Even they couldn't help but secretly call Ning An a spendthrift.

Fortunately, Ning An earned all the spirit stones himself.

Although many people felt pained, they didn't say anything.

Jiang Hekang, however, wanted to dissuade Ning An!

"Success with the Body-Strengthening Pill doesn't count for much, don't think about aiming too high."

Jiang Hekang could still see that Ning An should be refining Purple Spirit Pills.

This elixir, in the entire Shenxia Lianbang, except for High-Grade alchemists,

those who can refine it can be counted on one's fingers.

At the very least, he didn't think Ning An's crooked alchemy methods would succeed.

Although Ning An listened to the Dean's opinions, he continued to do as he pleased.

In fact, with every furnace that exploded, his understanding of refining the Purple Spirit Pill grew deeper.

Although it was limited to this one type of elixir!

But for Ning An, it was equally satisfying.

And during the refining process, he could feel his level of control over power constantly rising.

And his spiritual power also had quite a bit of improvement.

After all, exhausting spiritual power and then using it again in a cycle.

This was also considered a way to exercise spiritual power.

Undoubtedly, for Ning An, this was a pleasant surprise.

Originally, during this period, Ning An hadn't specifically gone to cultivate or anything.

After more than half a month had passed!

Ning An was already able to persist until the final step of refining the Purple Spirit Pill.

Although he still hadn't refined a finished product.

To outsiders, this was a failure!

Many people at Nanjiang Martial Arts University couldn't understand it even more.

"This person is too persistent."

Even some instructors said so privately.

If it were anyone else, many instructors would have criticized him long ago.

But Ning An's status and position at Nanjiang Martial Arts University were different after all.

Plus, he hadn't hidden the Sixth Grade savage beast meat from many instructors before.

Many instructors had received quite a few benefits.

"Forget it, it will be fine once this person uses up all the materials."

Finally, Jiang Hekang spoke up directly.

He was very clear about how many portions of materials Ning An had bought.

After all, this person had purchased them through Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

Even many people had asked him if he was going to refine a batch of Purple Spirit Pills.

In a certain sense, Jiang Hekang was acting as a scapegoat for Ning An.

The reason the materials could be collected so quickly

also had a lot to do with Jiang Hekang.

But Jiang Hekang couldn't do anything to Ning An; after all, this was the future of the Elixir College.

It was not just the future of Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

So although Ning An's actions were a bit willful, he could only indulge him.

Just like that, time passed in a flash for more than twenty days.

Ning An also gradually found the feeling of refining the Purple Spirit Pill.

He didn't care about the outside world's views and remained immersed in the world of alchemy.

"It should be this furnace!"

Ning An whispered, this time there were no mistakes throughout the entire alchemy process.

When the elixir was finally formed, although it wasn't very regular,

after testing, the machine also gave an evaluation.

Inferior Purple Spirit Pill!

Even Ning An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the quality, he had finally refined it.

Although the inferior effect was only half of a normal Purple Spirit Pill, it was still acceptable.

Taking advantage of the last few days!

Ning An finally relied on "Alchemy Diligence" to refine a real Purple Spirit Pill...

It was a pity that this ability also ended.

"If I had another ten days or half a month!"

"Maybe I could have refined a top-grade Purple Spirit Pill, who knows."

He couldn't help but feel it was a pity!

Elixirs have quality divisions; the better the quality, the stronger the effect.

But he should be content!

One must know that many beings spend several years just to master the Purple Spirit Pill.

And they even need to have a rich foundation in alchemy.

And they all refine their way up from Fourth Grade elixirs and Fifth Grade elixirs.

Only then do they master the Purple Spirit Pill!

Yet Ning An completely belonged to the type that took a shortcut.

There was no such intermediate process at all.

Now that he had succeeded in refining, although he no longer had the "Alchemy Diligence" ability,

Ning An could still refine ordinary-level Purple Spirit Pills.

This elixir still had quite a lot of use for the current Ning An.

Whether encountering special situations or during ordinary cultivation.

So even if the materials and the ability ended!

It didn't hinder Ning An from ordering a few more portions of materials.

Jiang Hekang couldn't sit still anymore and immediately came to find Ning An.

Previously, because of the constant furnace explosions,

Ning An had found a private alchemy room.

He was no longer refining elixirs in an open-air environment.

So Jiang Hekang didn't know that Ning An had already succeeded in refining the Purple Spirit Pill.

Jiang Hekang still thought that Ning An wouldn't give up and wanted to continue trying.

"Kid Ning, don't be obsessed with alchemy!"

The first sentence from the rushing Jiang Hekang was exactly this.

Even Ning An couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.

Because these words didn't sound like something Jiang Hekang should say.

As the Dean of the Elixir College and a High-Grade alchemist,

to tell someone not to be obsessed with alchemy!

If this were exposed, this Dean would surely face a storm of controversy.

Ning An thought about it and understood Jiang Hekang's thoughts.

It was clear that this Dean didn't trust him that much.

"Dean, take a look first!"

Ning An didn't hesitate and directly handed the refined Purple Spirit Pill to Jiang Hekang.

"Eh, what is this!?"

"Purple Spirit Pill!?"
