Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemy Inheritance!
"Boom!!!"
"Crack!!!"
"Another Medicinal Pill is finished."
Inside Medicine Elder's alchemy room, Wang Chen stretched lazily and rose from the floor.
He had been continuously refining Medicinal Pills for a full five hours.
Those five hours of refining had left him somewhat exhausted.
Fortunately, he possessed the Golden Finger, his foundation was exceptionally solid, and the quality of his Dou Qi was excellent.
Otherwise, he simply could not have sustained five hours of refinement.
Of course, his formidable Soul Power was also a necessary condition for supporting this undertaking.
After working so hard, his gains were naturally considerable.
He now had nearly forty more Medicinal Pills in his hands.
Fifty percent were Tier 1 Medicinal Pills, while forty percent were Tier 2 Medicinal Pills.
Only ten percent were Tier 3 Medicinal Pills.
Thanks to this intense round of practice, his alchemy skills had also stabilized at the Third Grade.
The current Wang Chen could already be considered a genuine Third-Grade Alchemist.
Not the theoretical sort of Alchemist he had been before.
After putting away the Medicinal Pills, Wang Chen left directly.
He was rather tired now and needed a proper rest.
The next day, Wang Chen woke early after a good night's sleep.
He first gave his dormitory a simple inspection. Once he confirmed there were no problems, Wang Chen took out the Tier 3 Alchemy Inheritance.
He had wanted to study it yesterday, but his mental energy had been heavily depleted, so he waited an extra night.
Wang Chen did not immediately use the Golden Finger to enhance it. Instead, he planned to memorize the Alchemy Inheritance first, then enhance it inside his mind.
That way, he would leave no traces behind and would also be able to preserve this Tier 3 Alchemy Inheritance.
Although Medicine Elder might not inspect this Alchemy Inheritance in the future, Wang Chen still hoped not to leave too many obvious flaws.
In any case, enhancing it within his mind cost Wang Chen the same amount.
At most, he would spend a little extra time memorizing the Alchemy Inheritance.
For Wang Chen, bolstered by the Golden Finger, that required hardly any effort at all.
"Enhance!!"
The instant he finished memorizing the Tier 3 Alchemy Inheritance, Wang Chen immediately activated his Golden Finger.
"Boom!!!"
A massive torrent of knowledge instantly flooded into Wang Chen's mind.
Fortunately, he had the Golden Finger's support. Otherwise, with so much stuff pouring in all at once, Wang Chen truly feared that his mind would break down.
Even under the Golden Finger's protection, Wang Chen still spent more than two full hours completely digesting the enhanced Alchemy Inheritance.
"This thing is really huge!"
Rubbing his temples lightly, Wang Chen sighed.
No wonder there were so few Advanced Alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent.
Just a Fifth Grade Alchemy Inheritance was already this outrageous.
Only because Wang Chen possessed the Golden Finger could he master all this knowledge in such a short time.
For an ordinary Alchemist, it would probably take at least two and a half years to master this knowledge.
Moreover, this knowledge was not some commonplace commodity. It was not something one could learn merely by wanting to learn it.
Without an Advanced Alchemist as a teacher, it was absolutely impossible to improve through one's own efforts alone.
Even Wang Chen, with his Golden Finger, could not do it. Much less ordinary people.
Advancing in Alchemist rank was difficult beyond measure, so the scarcity of Advanced Alchemists was only natural.
However, none of that held much significance for Wang Chen.
After all, not only did he possess the Golden Finger, he also had a teacher who was a Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemist.
The road toward higher grades had already been laid out. Wang Chen only needed to stride forward.
After mastering the knowledge of the Tier 5 Alchemy Inheritance, Wang Chen's hands began to itch again.
Without hesitation, he ran once more to the alchemy compartment belonging to his teacher, Medicine Elder, and began refining pills for the day.
His theoretical knowledge had become far richer, and he had also accumulated considerable practical experience yesterday.
As a result, Wang Chen's pill refinement went even more smoothly today.
Before long, he successfully refined a Medicinal Pill.
After storing the pill away, he began the next round of refinement.
Like an assembly line, one Medicinal Pill after another took shape in Wang Chen's hands.
The feeling delighted Wang Chen immensely.
This was the foundation of his future rapid cultivation growth.
Although the highest grade among them was only Third Grade.
But that did not matter. Wang Chen had the Golden Finger; with just a slight effort, every Medicinal Pill's grade would immediately rise by two levels.
Time passed bit by bit as Wang Chen refined pills like mad.
About four hours later, Wang Chen stopped refining pills.
It was not because he could no longer bear the consumption, but because he had run out of medicinal ingredients.
Medicine Elder did not know that Wang Chen had the Golden Finger's boost, allowing his pill refinement progress to be so absurdly fast.
He had normally prepared enough medicinal ingredients for an average alchemy apprentice to use for several months, yet Wang Chen had used them all up in just two days.
Moreover, he had not wasted a single batch of medicinal ingredients. Every attempt had successfully produced a Medicinal Pill.
Without medicinal ingredients, Wang Chen naturally could not continue.
Fortunately, Wang Chen was also somewhat tired. Having no ingredients gave him the perfect chance to rest.
It would not be too late to ask his teacher for more ingredients and pill formulas tomorrow.
That was the benefit of having a teacher.
If Wang Chen had not become Medicine Elder's disciple, then after running out of ingredients, he would have had no choice but to collect or buy them himself.
He would also need enough contributions to exchange for various pill formulas from Jia Nan Academy.
But with a teacher, none of that was troublesome anymore.
This teacher could prepare everything for him, so Wang Chen did not need to expend any energy on it himself.
This undoubtedly greatly accelerated Wang Chen's growth.
"Hmm?"
"Teacher."
The moment Wang Chen stepped out of the alchemy compartment, Medicine Elder walked directly toward him.
Though slightly puzzled, Wang Chen greeted him first.
After all, Medicine Elder had treated him extremely well, and Wang Chen sincerely respected this dedicated teacher.
"You've finished refining pills. Good, then I won't have to wait any longer."
Medicine Elder nodded in satisfaction, then said directly, "Come with me."
After saying that, Medicine Elder headed straight for the Study next door.
"These are things I prepared especially for you."
Inside the Study, Medicine Elder handed Wang Chen another Storage Ring, stroking his beard as he spoke.
"Six Third Grade pill formulas and three Fourth Grade pill formulas.
Each pill formula also comes with five sets of medicinal ingredients."
"Of course, I have also prepared an Alchemy Inheritance.
It is the Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemy Inheritance that I personally summarized and compiled."
Medicine Elder stroked his beard, speaking with considerable pride.
He had specifically thought it over and prepared these things after returning yesterday.
After all, the alchemy talent Wang Chen had displayed was simply too astonishing.
