The fourth floor of Cloud Frost Branch is exclusive to Alchemy Room in Yang Shan.

Wearing a cheongsam, the hem of the skirt can barely cover her thighs, but the side of the skirt should be slit to the waist. The maid is holding delicious tea, swaying her graceful figure, and slowly squats next to Chao Bafang: "Young Master Chao, please have tea!"

Chao Bafang swallowed.

Which man can resist this temptation? [It has been detected that your androgen is abnormally elevated. The system prompts you: Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System has not been installed yet. Players please calm down. If your androgen continues to remain at its peak, the system will pop up "Online Health Questionnaire" for you.]

"Fuck!"

Chao Bafang was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head, but he had no choice but to forcefully turn his head to the side and wave his hand.

"Then I will not disturb you two Young Master."

Although Chao Bafang's status in Cloud Frost Branch is not as good as Yang Shan, it can still be regarded as a key training target. If nothing unexpected happens, the quota for the Jia Ma Empire's top forces will be opened in future versions, and Chao Bafang will definitely be able to join Mittel Family as soon as possible.

Yang Shan didn't even glance at the maid from the beginning to the end.

Are you going to use this to test the veteran? What veteran can't withstand such a test?

At least she must be a beauty of Ya Fei level!

Yang Shan came to the wall.

There is a scroll hanging on the wall.

It reads:

AI Nüwa!

Yang Shan washed his hands first, and then lit three pillars of fragrance.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, fill it up first with a sense of ritual! Turning around, Yang Shan took out Silver Frost Cauldron from Storage Ring.

Silver Frost Cauldron is much larger than the standard Cauldron installed in the alchemy room.

There was a thud when it hit the ground, and a lot of tea in the Chao Bafang cup was spilled.

Chao Bafang trotted forward and took a quick look. "This Cauldron is much more refined than the second-order Cauldron shown off on the forum!"

No wonder Chao Bafang is making such a fuss.

Chao Bafang is already the current version of Top Player, and his vision must be much higher than that of ordinary players.

However, Yang Shan has many top-quality props that cannot be produced normally in the current version.

Take out the mutation Magic Core and inject Dou Qi.

A wisp of green flame ignited in the palm of his hand.

Chao Bafang was horrified. "Green Lotus Core Flame?"

Yang Shan: "This is only version 1.1 and you are thinking about Heavenly Flames?"

Chao Bafang scratched his head:

"Mainly the color of the flames brings back memories."

Yang Shan: "While drinking tea and eating snacks, I have to start refining the medicine!"

Yang Shan shared the perspective of refining medicine with Chao Bafang, so that Chao Bafang can truly understand what Battle Through the Heavens's process of refining medicine is like.

During this period of time, Yang Shan did not spend much time refining medicine, but he never stopped collecting medicinal materials.

But the medicinal materials collected by Yang Shan are not Body Tempering Pill and Gathering Yuan Pill.

He had long expected that these two elixirs would appear in large quantities on Auction House.

So he only collected Barrier Breaking Pill and the newly obtained Bone Sculpting Pill related medicinal materials.

Yang Shan had just paid homage to AI Nüwa, so he confidently started refining Bone Sculpting Pill directly!

Azure Jade Python Flame is burning in Silver Frost Cauldron.

But I can't feel any heat outside Cauldron.

With good fire and a good cauldron, the alchemy will be perfect!

White True Fruit, Gray Vine Branch, Black Sand, third-order Wood Attribute Magic Core follows this

[Players, please note that the first step of refining the elixir begins below: refining. The game is randomly selected]

[The current game is: Music Beat, the required success rate is: 90%!]

Yang Shan and Chao Bafang heard extremely melodious music.

Chao Bafang couldn't help but start nodding rhythmically, and then sang along with the music. "Let me pluck off your forehead, tickle it and slowly melt it."

Yang Shan Suddenly his hand shook and he pressed the wrong key.

"Ba Fang, shut up!"

"I can't help myself, I can't help myself"

Yang Shan concentrated on it and made no mistakes in subsequent keystrokes.

Success rate 98%!

Clear the level!

[Players, please note that the second step of refining the elixir begins below: fusion. The game is randomly selected]

The subsequent two steps of fusion and warming, the mini-games are Tetris and Gold Miner respectively.

Yang Shan is a perfect pass.

Even Chao Bafang couldn't help but say, "Beautiful!"

The gameplay of these games is indeed very simple, but it is still very demanding on the player's reaction and judgment.

Except for his squeaking at the beginning, Yang Shan didn't make any mistakes. This is definitely a skill that an experienced player who has been immersed in various games for many years can have! No wonder Yang Shan is the best at refining medicine even if he majors in the thunder attribute.

Then came the most critical moment.

Whether the elixir is successful or not, this moment is also called the "character moment", "dog luck moment", and "yangshou moment".

In short, it has nothing to do with the player's skills.

It all depends on luck.

Bone Sculpting Pill is a top-grade elixir that can increase Free Attribute in the third-grade stage. The standard success rate is even lower than Body Tempering Pill, only 16%!

For third-grade elixirs, Azure Jade Python Flame can increase the effect by 80%, and Silver Frost Cauldron can increase the effect by another 20%.

The theoretical success rate of Bone Sculpting Pill has been raised to: 32%.

But Yang Shan itself has a full 13 points Good Fortune.

If you include the hidden bonus, the refining success rate of Bone Sculpting Pill may be 40%!

[bite! Bone Sculpting Pill refining failed!]

Chao Bafang looked at the pile of black charcoal spilled from Cauldron's mouth and excitedly rushed forward to pick it up:

"Haha, Bone Sculpting Pill. Huh? Why is it all charcoal? Where's the pill?"

"Ahem!"

Yang Shan pretended to be calm and said:

"Failed."

Chao Bafang also saw Yang Shan's embarrassment and tried to hold back his laughter, but the shaking of his shoulders couldn't be stopped, so he could only return to his seat to drink tea and snacks to divert his attention.

Yang Shan made some adjustments and started refining for the second time.

[bite! Bone Sculpting Pill refining failed!]

[Ding! Bone Sculpting Pill refining failed!]

Yang Shan's complexion is now like this pile of failed products, as black as charcoal.

Chao Bafang also added another shot:

"Great God, do you want to look at the almanac first?"

Yang Shan: "How can God read the almanac? Do I need to engage in metaphysics just to play a game?"

Chao Bafang: "As the saying goes, if science cannot explain it, then only metaphysics can explain it."

Yang Shan Call up the calendar immediately:

"On the fifth, fourteenth, and twenty-third day of the lunar month, there is no alchemy in Lao Jun's Furnace. Let me see, today is the sixth day of the lunar month, um, no problem!"

Chao Bafang: "Great God, didn't you say you don't engage in metaphysics?"

Yang Shan: "Although we are talking about science, this is our China's ancient culture after all. We still have to respect it. Stop talking, I'm going to start making alchemy!"

Yang Shan was in good condition today and basically made no mistakes in the mini-games.

But [Ding! Bone Sculpting Pill refining failed!]

Without waiting for Chao Bafang to ask anything, Yang Shan said directly:

"Bone Sculpting Pill's refining efficiency is only 5%. It's normal to fail many times. Don't worry, I have plenty of medicinal materials!"

Yang Shan lied about the data without a blush or heartbeat to cover up the fact that he was unlucky.

"Forty percent success rate, four consecutive failures? It's time to bottom out."

Yang Shan God sent a third-order Wood Attribute Magic Core of King of Beasts level into Cauldron.

Bone Sculpting Pill, use King of Beasts level Magic Core, if refined successfully, there is a 50% chance of making the elixir perfect.

Silver Frost Cauldron can increase the perfect refining rate by 50%.

In other words, if the alchemy is successful this time, there will be a 75% chance of refining the perfect Bone Sculpting Pill!

Chao Bafang worked hard to find the wood attribute King of Beasts during this period, but only got two for Yang Shan! And Yang Shan spent 6,000 RMB to buy two more from Auction House.

If it fails this time, the total loss of medicinal materials will exceed 4,000 yuan! But if it succeeds. Yang Shan plays at a high level and the three major steps of refining the medicine are passed perfectly.

Once here, Yang Shan couldn't help but breathe faster.

Chao Bafang stopped chewing the pastries in his mouth. He subconsciously stretched his neck to see if what came out of Cauldron was still black charcoal.

"It's black again!"

Seeing the black shadow coming out of Cauldron's mouth, Chao Bafang couldn't help but scream.

But Yang Shan smiled and said:

"Look carefully, who said the elixir can't be black?"

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully refining a furnace (three pieces) of Bone Sculpting Pill (complete), gaining 200 points of experience in refining medicine and 400 points of character experience.]

Yang Shan carefully placed the three elixirs in three porcelain bottles, and at the same time sent the attributes of Bone Sculpting Pill to Chao Bafang.

Bone Sculpting Pill (perfect)

Grade: third grade

Effect: Gain 12 points Free Attribute.

Restrictions: Can only be taken once. Levels Dou Wang and above will not take effect.

"How much? How much?"

Chao Bafang is now so powerful that the second-level King of Beasts can be used alone, and the third-level King of Beasts can also fight to the death.

In addition, Cloud Frost Branch has no other players competing with him for tasks.

As a result, Chao Bafang made a lot of money during this period by relying on the production of in-game props! Although it is not like Yang Shan, it can easily reach tens or millions in one wave.

But Chao Bafang's bank card balance, which was almost at the bottom, has also risen to 200,000!

It has been almost two months since the server of "Battle Through the Heavens" was launched. Chao Bafang's income has basically increased sharply since version 1.1.

200,000 yuan a month, which is about the same as the monthly salary of a senior executive of a large company! Therefore, Chao Bafang now indeed has the confidence to ask Yang Shan for the price.

But Yang Shan shook his head:

"Not for sale at the moment."

Chao Bafang was stunned. "Great God, if it's a company benefit, it doesn't matter. I won't say that I always want to take advantage of the company."

Being able to sign "Freelancer Contract" and getting a lot of help and tips from Yang Shan, Chao Bafang is already very satisfied, so when Yang Shan has tasks assigned to him, Chao Bafang has been working hard to carry them out.

Indeed, there is no intention to deliberately take advantage of the company. In the contract, 10% of the player's personal income is 10%. Chao Bafang has never been vague when making money.

Yang Shan: "Ba Fang, that's not what I meant. You have worked hard during this period, and you still have to have company benefits. But this elixir, which Dou Wang took before, is effective. You are not afraid of not being able to buy it. You pay attention to cost-effectiveness in everything, so why bother to compete with those rich people?"

Yang Shan patted Chao Bafang on the shoulder and smiled sinisterly:

"I am the only one who has Bone Sculpting Pill now, but I am destined to be like Body Tempering Pill in the future. The price has plummeted. Make money first. I will give you one of these pills when the time comes!"

Chao Bafang Think about it carefully.

That makes sense!

If you buy this Bone Sculpting Pill now, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it for 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

My boss has spoken.

Wait for the next version and buy one for free. Isn't it delicious?
