Chapter 309: Alchemist

Wang Yu looked at this alchemy room, which was exactly the same as that of Fan Tian, the second-rank alchemy master, and took out a large batch of boxes containing various spirit medicines from his storage bag, placing them very skillfully on the nearby racks.

Then he opened two of the boxes, which contained the "two-hundred-year-old Polygonatum" and "three-hundred-year-old Fire Cloud Date" he had just purchased.

Wang Yu looked at these two spirit medicines, recalling the detailed medicinal properties and effects recorded in the relevant pill formulas. He raised a finger, used his fingernail to lightly scratch the surface of the two, and then rotated slightly. Immediately, two thin slices of fruit flesh were shaved off from them respectively.

Wang Yu picked up a slice, held it lightly on the tip of his tongue in his mouth, felt a faint sweetness, and then narrowed his eyes and tasted it slowly.

A moment later, he felt a faint coolness surging into his abdomen...

Not long after, Wang Yu formed seals with one hand, conjured a small cluster of clean water out of thin air, rinsed his mouth, and held the other spirit medicine in his mouth.

This time, the taste in his mouth turned into bitterness, sourness, and numbness. At the same time, a burst of dryness and heat emanated, making his eyes light up slightly.

With a "pei" sound, Wang Yu spat out the spirit medicine slice in his mouth, put away the two spirit medicines again, and turned his gaze toward the alchemy furnace in the center of the room, revealing a look of contemplation.

After becoming a temporary alchemy apprentice to Fan Tian, he originally wanted to rely on the assistance of overclocking to easily refine pills.

But he discovered that although the overclocking synchronization mode could make his comprehension superior, allow him to perfectly control his emotions, and accurately replicate all the actions when Fan Tian demonstrated alchemy, he could even do it without the slightest difference.

But Fan Tian and he were two different people after all. The alchemy actions that looked the same on the outside, but the internal magic power activation amount, overclocking could not replicate and simulate at all. This brought about completely different results, which was the so-called "a miss is as good as a mile"!

Not to mention, not a single spirit medicine used for alchemy was the same.

Spirit medicines of different ages definitely had vastly different medicinal properties.

But even spirit medicines of the same age had not small differences in medicinal properties.

Even Fan Tian would often make subtle changes to his alchemy actions according to the medicinal properties when refining the same kind of pill, making it impossible for Wang Yu to grasp the details.

Wang Yu naturally could not help but ask Fan Tian this question.

According to this second-rank alchemy master's answer, alchemy is a matter that relies entirely on experience to improve the success rate. Only when a beginner refines pills many times can they comprehend some of their own alchemy techniques and accumulate enough alchemy experience.

As for how many times one has to refine to refine a pill, that depends entirely on a person's talent.

The vast Four Symbols Sect only cultivated three first-rank alchemists and two second-rank alchemists, so one could know how difficult alchemy is to learn and how much it consumes.

Fan Yin, under Fan Tian's hand-in-hand guidance, had learned alchemy for several years, but still could not refine even the simplest entry-rank pill. However, the consumption of spirit medicines was so much that even Fan Tian could not bear it, and he had mostly given up on this nephew in his heart.

As for how Fan Tian became a second-rank alchemist, it was because he signed a spirit contract never to leave the sect after Foundation Establishment and becoming a first-rank alchemist. Only then, under the unlimited supply of spirit medicines from the sect, did he rely on countless alchemy times to push his alchemy art to the second-rank level.

According to Fan Tian, the experience of the other second-rank alchemist in the Four Symbols Sect was about the same.

After Wang Yu knew this answer, his whole heart turned cold.

He could easily become an artifact refiner because of overclocking's precise drawing of spirit patterns.

But alchemy requires the accumulation of experience from alchemy times, so overclocking could not be of much use.

Just like this, he learned for nearly two years, but still could not enter the gate. Instead, he consumed thirty or forty thousand spirit stones on alchemy spirit medicines, almost throwing in most of his family fortune. Just when he was helplessly preparing to give up, the situation underwent a huge change.

During a certain attempt to refine the simplest entry-rank Bigu Pill, I don't know if it was a stroke of luck or a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he actually luckily refined an inferior Bigu Pill.

And just this one Bigu Pill made him advance by leaps and bounds in alchemy books from then on. In just half a year, he could easily refine other entry-rank pills, which surprised Fan Tian greatly, and he took him into his sect without hesitation.

After over ten years of precipitation, he already asked himself that his alchemy experience was by no means inferior to Fan Tian. The only thing weaker than the other party was that he did not have the magic power and cultivation of Foundation Establishment, and could not refine second-rank pills.

Wang Yu thought of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up a bit, and then he recited "Login Interface" in his heart.

The next moment, white light rolled before his eyes, and he appeared in the Taiyuan Login Interface Hall.

Only, the original silver-white hall was a bit larger than before.

Clearly, Helena's initial deduction was not wrong. This login interface was indeed closely related to the strength of his mental power.

Every small breakthrough in Qi Refinement over these ten years also increased his mental power limit. Although it could not be compared with the increase of Star Mind Power in the first three layers, it was also obvious.

After all, every small breakthrough in Qi Refinement was an increase on the basis of the original mental power.

You must know that after he cultivated the third layer of Star Mind Power, his mental power had already exceeded that of the same rank by eight or nine times. Adding the ten or twenty percent increase in mental power for every breakthrough on this basis, one could know how terrifying his divine sense was now.

Wang Yu, who had logged into the silver hall, did not make any moves, but instead shook his body.

The next moment, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly erupted with him as the center!

Astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations rose endlessly!

In the blink of an eye, it broke through the so-called limit of the twelfth layer of Qi Refinement and entered a new small realm. But after reaching a certain limit, it broke through another layer again.

One layer!

Two layers!

Three layers!

When Wang Yu's aura rose to just a sliver worse than a newly Foundation Establishment cultivator, the spiritual pressure finally stopped rising and maintained stability.

"Hehe, Qi Refinement Great Perfection!"

Wang Yu raised his hands and looked at them, revealing a look of inexplicable mockery.

Following this, he grabbed into the void with one hand, and after crystal light flashed in his hand, a thumb-sized pill that was crystal clear condensed.

This pill was like jelly, semi-transparent, with three pale silver pill patterns on the surface, emitting a faint fragrance, giving people a feeling of wanting to swallow it immediately. It was a top-grade pill.

Spirit Panic Pill!

Wang Yu looked at this pill in his hand, threw it into his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it into his abdomen after chewing it a few times like soybeans, with a look of being accustomed to it.

Following this, he headed straight for the black metal chair in the center of the hall.

As soon as he sat down, a red light beam shrouded him. At the same time, a virtual keyboard appeared out of thin air, and the giant screen in front suddenly lit up. ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
