Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

After agreeing to Ye Zhong's request, Xiao Yan's time has undoubtedly become a little tight. In just two months, he needs to practice and improve his alchemy skills as much as possible, facing the people from all over the mainland. Even Xiao Yan felt some pressure to be an excellent alchemist, and to stand out from the crowd. This kind of competition is completely different from ordinary battles. It is a competition in another field, and the difficulty of this kind of competition is much more severe than that of rushing forward with fighting spirit. After all, alchemy does not rely on one effort, It needs to be calm and calm, and grasp everything in the medicine cauldron to an extremely precise level!

As for the improvement of alchemy skills, another way of saying it is to burn money, or to burn medicinal materials. No matter how outstanding a pharmacist's talent is, practice is the most important thing, and to practice alchemy, the medicinal materials are naturally Not less, at Xiao Yan's level, even the medicinal materials used to practice hands are not ordinary things, if there is no strong force behind it, it will really look a little dwarfed by comparison. But fortunately, although the Ye family is now in decline, they have quite a rich collection over the years, and they are indeed really planning to put all their hopes on Xiao Yan this time, so for his various needs, They are all satisfied as much as possible. Those rare medicinal materials are also continuously transported to Xiao Yan under Ye Zhong's order. At this time, if they are so petty, the Ye family may come here after the end. ...

And with the support of the Ye family with all the power of the family, Xiao Yan also saved himself the trouble of looking for medicinal materials everywhere. The only thing he needs to do is to refine the elixir. No matter whether the refining is successful or failed, at least It is also possible to gain some experience. This kind of experience is the treasure of the pharmacist alone. With the gradual accumulation of this kind of experience, sooner or later, it will erupt completely and bring about a qualitative change. Looking at the master-level pharmacists in the mainland, none of them belong to the field of war on paper, and they all have rich experience that is difficult for ordinary people...

In the world of alchemy, talent is of course important, but experience is also an indispensable item. Over the years, no matter how tight the time is, Xiao Yan has never stopped alchemy, and because of the rich prescriptions left by Yao Lao, it is also paving the way for him. He followed a smooth path, and in this way, he could go farther than ordinary pharmacists in the same time. Of course, Xiao Yan also understands that although his starting point is not low, looking at the mainland, he is definitely not the only outstanding alchemist with this condition, and there are even some starting points that are much higher than him. It will definitely not be easy to surpass these people in the conference.

Therefore, in the next two months, he had to put in a lot of hard work and devote all his attention to alchemy! Inside the spacious secret room, the scorching high temperature permeated the air, making the secret room like an oven, steaming hot, if ordinary people stayed in it for more than ten minutes, they would probably have to escape with difficulty breathing... The whole body of the secret room is made of a kind of crimson rock. This kind of rock is called lava rock. It is taken from the volcano. It is not only hard, but also has a special effect of heat preservation. It is specially used to build some alchemy rooms. Extremely good.

Inside the secret room, there is no gap at all, it looks as if it was directly hollowed out from an extremely huge lava rock. In the secret room at this moment, there are many jade boxes piled up, and there is a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs wafting out of them, and after being evaporated by the surrounding high temperature, the smell becomes much stronger. In the center of the secret room, there is a stone platform. On the stone platform, a thin figure sits cross-legged. In the mid-air in front of him, there is a crimson medicinal cauldron. Inside the medicinal cauldron, green flames are burning fiercely. It is just coming out of the medicine cauldron...

Sitting cross-legged here, he is naturally Xiao Yan who is practicing medicine hard. Ever since he felt the urgency of time, he has spent almost all his time here. Whenever he has free time, he will open a cauldron and make alchemy. In this way, although it is hard and tiring, but for the sake of the three thousand flames, these hardships are naturally nothing. Inside the medicine cauldron, green flames rose ragingly, and among the burning flames, one could faintly see the prototype of a elixir, from which a faint fragrance of elixir diffused. Under the roasting of the flames, the rudimentary form of the pill gradually became round. About an hour later, Xiao Yan's closed eyes suddenly opened. The medicine cauldron rushed out, and then automatically fell into Xiao Yan's hands.

What fell into Xiao Yan's hands was a round elixir that was only the size of a thumb. Although this elixir is small in size, if it is placed outside for auction, it will definitely attract a lot of greedy eyes. The elixir is called Instant Qi Pill, which is a consumable type of elixir. Its grade can barely reach the seventh-rank low-level. Its function is to restore some battle qi in a very short period of time. The effect is not cheap. If you take such a pill when you are fighting with others until both sides are exhausted, the recovered some fighting energy may be able to reverse the situation. Therefore, some powerful experts, most of them They will always prepare some, but this kind of elixir is quite expensive to make, and it is really impossible for a strong person with no family background to take it casually.

One must know that this instant pill, even Xiao Yan before, has never prepared it, firstly, its level is not low, and secondly, the medicinal materials required are cumbersome and precious, how can it be taken like a bean... Taking out a jade bottle from the Najie, Xiao Yan put the Instant Qi Pill in his hand in it. In the jade bottle at this moment, there are six Instant Qi Pills of the same quality, and these are the same as Xiao Yan’s for nearly twenty years. day's harvest. For more than half a month in this secret room, Xiao Yan basically stayed at home. Anyway, when the medicinal materials were used up, someone would bring them in, and all his mind was used to make alchemy. Under his sleepless nights, the harvest was natural It's not small either, he has successfully refined some low-level pills of the seventh grade, and even the middle-level pills of the seventh grade have been successfully refined once.

And after such crazy alchemy, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that his alchemy skills had improved slightly. Of course, Xiao Yan's alchemy talent was undeniable even for Yao Lao. Before Yao Lao left, Xiao Yan can only refine fifth-rank pills at most, but now he, through his own efforts, has been able to refine seventh-rank pills. Although there is no lack of Xiao Yan's efforts, his talent is also crucial. important thing. However, these twenty days of crazy alchemy made Xiao Yan somewhat astonished. It turned out that he discovered that the battle energy in his body was also increasing slowly at a slow speed. Originally, it was a hugely consuming job. This kind of consumption, no matter whether it was battle qi or soul power, was not easy. During this period of time, once the battle qi in his body was squandered, Xiao Yan would immediately enter the cultivation state. After the battle qi recovered, It continued to work non-stop again. Under such consumption and replenishment, it is not too strange that the fighting spirit has increased.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, Xiao Yan regained his fighting spirit a little, before he let out a long breath, and whispered to himself: "With my current alchemy skills, the success rate of refining seventh-grade low-level pills is already high. Quite good, as for the seventh-rank intermediate elixir, it is slightly lower, but it is still affordable, of course it is much better than some ordinary seventh-rank pharmacists, but it is not enough..." If you want to stand out from the alchemist conference at the level of the alchemy association and squeeze into the top ten, it is obviously difficult to rely on the seventh-rank intermediate pills. According to Xiao Yan's prediction, you must at least have the ability to refine the seventh-rank high-level pills. The grasp of the medicine, the grasp of squeezing into the top ten, can be somewhat guaranteed... "Seventh Grade Advanced..." Gradually clenching his palms tightly, a ruthless look flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes, he was only at the seventh rank, and he still didn't believe that he couldn't handle it! This ruthless thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and with a grasp of his palm, Xiao Yan sucked a jade box full of medicinal materials past him. With a wave of his palm, many medicinal materials inside were immediately suspended, and the strong medicinal fragrance came to Xiao Yan's nostrils. He let out a breath, flicked his fingers, and the medicinal materials were swept into the medicine cauldron. With the change of his handprint, the emerald green flame in the medicine cauldron burned violently again... Even Ye Zhong and the others were a little worried about Xiao Yan's madness in retreating alchemy, and then sighed a little. Xiao Yan's current achievements at such an age really did not come out of thin air. Compared with this kind of madness, those younger generations of the Ye family are no different from trash... Xiao Yan's closed-door alchemy lasted for a full month. During this month, he did not take a step out of this alchemy room, but under such madness, the results he achieved were quite dazzling. There are more and more low-level and intermediate-level elixirs that have been successfully refined. Even the seventh-grade high-level elixir, after Xiao Yan's repeated failures, he gradually became more comfortable in refining. Whenever the state is good, the seventh-rank high-level elixir may be out of the oven. And just when Xiao Yan was still waiting to continue his painstaking practice after the one-month period expired, there was a sudden sound of a bell in the alchemy room. Xiao Yan's state of alchemy was also broken by the sudden sound of the bell. After being slightly stunned, his face also changed a little. He knew that the sound of the bell was the emergency call of the Ye family... "What happened to the Ye family?" Frowning tightly, Xiao Yan also got up quickly, and then opened the alchemy room. Now that he has agreed to the Ye family, if something happens to them during this period, Xiao Yan can't ignore it, and this time has consumed most of the Ye family's money. Xiao Yan also felt a little sorry for the collection, he knew that the Ye family put all their hopes on him.
