Knowledge Instruction, Frenzied Alchemy

Knowledge Instruction, Frenzied Alchemy

Although he did not know what kind of flame it was, Wang Chen could sense its terrifying heat.

"The Heavenly Flames that exist between heaven and earth are the most suitable for Alchemists.

"However, Heavenly Flames are miraculous and extremely rare. Ordinary Alchemists have neither the opportunity nor the qualifications to subdue them."

"Besides Heavenly Flames, though, we can use other flames as substitutes. For example, Beast Flames."

"This flame in my hand is a Tier 6 Beast Flame. It is also quite helpful for my pill refining."

"After some time, once your strength has improved, I'll prepare a Tier 6 Beast Flame for you as well."

After putting away the purple-black flame, Medicine Elder made this promise to Wang Chen.

Medicine Elder was extremely satisfied with Wang Chen, this disciple of his.

As long as it was something he could provide, he would never be stingy.

However, while Beast Flames were not as terrifying as Heavenly Flames, they were not something an ordinary Dou Zhe could absorb and refine.

That was why he said to wait for some time.

After all, he had no idea that Wang Chen possessed a Golden Finger and had already reached Seven-Star Grand Dou Shi.

Otherwise, he would probably have immediately gone to prepare a Beast Flame.

After explaining some of the core experience and insights, Medicine Elder arranged for Wang Chen to begin refining pills.

Medicine Elder stayed nearby to watch Wang Chen refine pills, so he could observe any flaws in his process and offer guidance whenever needed.

To be honest, Wang Chen was a little unaccustomed to having a teacher watch and guide him.

Fortunately, his alchemy skills were genuinely quite good, and his mentality had also been tempered.

He was somewhat unnatural at first, but as he got into the process, Wang Chen completely adapted to being watched.

Before long, Wang Chen refined a Medicinal Pill that emitted a fragrant medicinal aroma.

"Not bad, not bad."

Medicine Elder took the pill into his hand and examined it carefully, offering two consecutive words of praise.

Though this was merely a First Grade Qi-Replenishing Pill, its quality was already exceptionally good.

Even compared with ordinary Fourth-Grade Alchemists, it was not far behind.

And this had been refined by his disciple, Wang Chen.

For someone who had just begun learning alchemy to produce such quality on his first attempt at refining a Qi-Replenishing Pill was more than enough to show how terrifying Wang Chen's talent was.

Having accepted such an alchemy genius as his disciple, Medicine Elder's dejection over failing to break through to Sixth-Grade Alchemist vanished, replaced by excitement.

It did not matter if he had not broken through for now. There would always be another chance in the future.

But a disciple as terrifying as Wang Chen would be gone forever if he missed this opportunity.

"Refine a few more. Get more familiar with it."

After praising him a few times, Medicine Elder continued making arrangements.

"Once you finish refining, go back and rest.

"Refining pills is also quite mentally exhausting. Don't overexert yourself."

"From now on, come here every morning to refine pills, and cultivate Dou Qi in the afternoon.

"Without sufficient strength, your alchemy grade cannot improve either."

After giving his instructions, Medicine Elder prepared to leave.

"If there is anything you do not understand, or if you need any medicinal ingredients, come find me at any time."

Before leaving, Medicine Elder added one more sentence.

"I understand, Teacher."

Wang Chen respectfully saluted him, then began refining pills once more to hone his alchemy skills.

Wang Chen also held great respect for Medicine Elder as his teacher.

After all, Medicine Elder truly had Wang Chen's best interests at heart and had prepared an extremely abundant supply of everything needed for alchemy.

Teachers this good were quite rare.

After leaving the alchemy room, Medicine Elder inwardly called himself careless.

The things he had originally prepared for Wang Chen were enough for an ordinary alchemy apprentice to use.

They would even have been enough until that apprentice grew into a Tier 2 Alchemist.

He had only prepared those things because he took Qi Ming's words very seriously.

After all, he knew his disciple Qi Ming very well. When it came to alchemy, Qi Ming would never exaggerate.

Yet he had never expected to still underestimate Wang Chen.

From Wang Chen's earlier pill-refining process alone, he had already seen Wang Chen's level.

Apart from being slightly inexperienced, Wang Chen definitely possessed the ability of a Tier 2 Alchemist, or even a Third Grade Alchemist.

Medicine Elder could hardly believe it.

That was why he had arranged for Wang Chen to continue practicing while he went back to prepare some more things for him.

After all, Wang Chen already had roughly the alchemy ability of a Third Grade Alchemist. Giving him more Second Grade materials would only hinder his talent somewhat.

"This time, I'll give him Fourth Grade materials directly."

Medicine Elder made his decision and immediately strode away.

"The gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs."

As he left, Medicine Elder muttered to himself.

Inside the alchemy room, Wang Chen did not immediately continue refining pills.

He directly opened the Storage Ring Medicine Elder had given him to see what was inside.

He had actually wanted to inspect it carefully from the moment he received it.

However, he felt it would have been somewhat inappropriate to examine it right in front of his teacher.

Fortunately, his teacher had already left, so there was naturally nothing to worry about.

He was very eager to know exactly what was inside.

"There it is!!!"

After opening the Storage Ring, Wang Chen immediately found what he wanted: an alchemy inheritance!

"A Third Grade alchemy inheritance is still pretty good."

After carefully inspecting it and confirming that it was a Third Grade alchemy inheritance, Wang Chen was quite satisfied.

This thing was enough for him to grow to Fifth Grade.

Besides, with the talent he had displayed, he could go to his teacher at any time to learn more advanced alchemy inheritances later.

It took Wang Chen roughly two and a half minutes to inspect everything thoroughly.

Besides the alchemy inheritance, there were also several First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade pill formulas.

Naturally, the largest quantity consisted of the medicinal ingredients required for the various pill formulas.

After inspecting the items inside the Storage Ring, Wang Chen continued refining pills to hone his skills.

Although he very much wanted to immediately strengthen and learn the alchemy inheritance, he still knew what was more important.

This was Medicine Elder's alchemy room, and it might not be absolutely private.

No one knew whether Medicine Elder had left behind any surveillance methods.

After all, this had previously been the place where Medicine Elder secluded himself to refine pills. It was an extremely important location.

Even if there were any such methods, that would be perfectly natural.

This was not a matter of trust or mistrust.

Something like a Golden Finger could not be exposed under any circumstances.

Wang Chen did not want to risk exposing his Golden Finger just to save this little bit of time.

In any case, the item was already in his hands. He could use it later.

With his abundant theoretical knowledge and a large quantity of medicinal ingredients, Wang Chen naturally began refining pills like mad.

This concerned whether he could continue rapidly improving his strength afterward.

He would not slack off or delay in the slightest.
