Crazy Pill Refining, Peak Fifth Grade Difficulty!

Crazy Pill Refining, Peak Fifth Grade Difficulty!

And his efforts had not been in vain. In the Outer Academy, he had actually encountered such an absurdly overpowered cheat as Wang Chen.

His talent for pill refinement could practically crush all of Jia Nan Academy.

With a disciple like this, he could naturally return to the Inner Academy in glory.

When the time came, he had to make a proper round of visits to those other pill-refining elders and repay every bit of mockery he had once received.

For that goal, he had refrained from returning to the Inner Academy all this time.

After all, when he had accepted Wang Chen as his disciple, he could already have gone back and mocked those old fellows.

But at the time, it had not felt satisfying enough.

Although Wang Chen's talent had been outrageously impressive back then, it had only been talent.

Now that Wang Chen's pill-refining grade had risen, going back to slap their faces would be satisfying enough.

"Five years! Five years! Do you know how I spent these five years?!"

Thinking that he would soon be able to hold his head high again, Medicine Elder's lips slowly curled upward, and he could not help letting out a laugh.

"Cough, cough!"

Realizing Wang Chen was still there, Medicine Elder immediately coughed twice to conceal his earlier loss of composure.

"Since you've made up your mind, go make your preparations properly.

"If there's anything you need, just tell me."

After giving another reminder, Medicine Elder prepared to let Wang Chen leave.

After all, his earlier lapse had left him somewhat embarrassed.

"Alright, thank you, Teacher."

After saying that, Wang Chen tactfully took his leave.

After all, he could not let his master become too embarrassed.

After leaving the study, Wang Chen returned to his room as well.

There was still some time before the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, so he could use this time to cultivate properly.

After all, once he entered the Inner Academy, everything would have to be settled with his fists.

Even though Medicine Elder was in the Inner Academy, Wang Chen would be too embarrassed to seek him out.

After all, Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy primarily focused on developing the students' ability to survive independently.

If they relied on their teachers for everything, would that not go against Jia Nan Academy's principles?

Besides, Wang Chen was also someone who cared about his pride. He could not bring himself to repeatedly ask his teacher for help.

In any case, relying on his own strength, earning Fire Energy in the Inner Academy should not be much of a problem.

After all, Wang Chen's pill-refining skills were not something ordinary students could compare to.

Most importantly, Wang Chen had the Golden Finger's support.

He could directly upgrade First Grade medicinal ingredients into Third Grade ones.

With the ingredients for one batch of First Grade Medicinal Pills, after upgrading them, he could easily refine more than a dozen Third Grade Medicinal Pills.

On that point alone, Wang Chen could easily sweep through the pill-refining factions in the Inner Academy.

Of course, the difficulty of refining them was far greater than ordinary pill refinement.

After upgrading a batch of First Grade ingredients, the refining difficulty was basically equivalent to Peak Fourth Grade.

Therefore, Wang Chen generally did not upgrade and refine ingredients above Second Grade.

After all, his actual pill-refining skill was still a little beyond his control.

It was not that he could not refine them successfully, but that he could not guarantee every pill would be sufficiently perfect.

Since he had time now, he planned to properly improve his pill-refining skills.

On this trip outside, he had not only obtained a treasure like the Flame Elf, but had also acquired over twenty Beast Flame Spirits.

These would also be tremendously helpful for his pill refinement.

As long as he trained properly, reaching Peak Fifth Grade during this period should not be a problem.

After all, the Golden Finger had already skipped the most troublesome step of pill refinement for him.

He did not need to spend vast amounts of time memorizing the properties of various medicinal ingredients, nor did he need to hone his fire-control techniques.

He only needed to refine pills diligently and improve his practical pill-refining experience.

With that, his pill-refining skill would naturally improve extremely quickly.

The moment he returned to his dormitory, Wang Chen began refining pills.

He currently possessed an extremely abundant supply of medicinal ingredients.

Not to mention what he had scavenged in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, even his master, Medicine Elder, had given him quite a few low-grade ingredients.

And that was not even counting the many ingredients he had taken when receiving the academy's pill-refining mission benefits earlier.

Those gains were enough for him to hone his pill-refining skills to Peak Fifth Grade.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen directly took out a batch of upgraded Third Grade ingredients.

Then he summoned the Flame Elf and the Nine-Headed Flame Spirit and began refining pills.

Wang Chen tossed all the ingredients into the Cauldron at once, and the Nine-Headed Flame Spirit refined a different ingredient with each of its heads.

As for the Flame Elf, Wang Chen kept it pressed at his side to prevent it from interfering with the refining process.

The reason he had summoned the Flame Elf was, first, to placate it and strengthen their bond.

Second, he could borrow the Flame Elf's abilities to increase his pill-refining efficiency.

This would also allow the Flame Elf to gain the greatest possible improvement.

After all, intelligence was extremely important to the Flame Elf.

Letting it see more of the outside world was also quite beneficial to the growth of its intelligence.

Wang Chen had high hopes for this little treasure. He hoped it would grow up quickly and help him well.

After all, a fire-attributed heavenly treasure like this provided an enormous boost to pill refinement.

Perhaps he could eventually raise a free pill-refining assistant. That would be immensely useful to Wang Chen.

With the Flame Elf's support and the Nine-Headed Flame Spirit's assistance, Wang Chen naturally refined pills with ease.

There was hardly any difficulty at all, and Wang Chen successfully refined his first batch of pills.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen took out a Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring and stored the eighteen Third Grade Medicinal Pills inside.

Wang Chen was not at all surprised by the successful refinement.

The mere difficulty of Peak Fourth Grade was nothing more than an appetizer to him.

The only reason he had refined this batch of pills was to warm up.

After putting them away, Wang Chen took out the second batch of ingredients.

This batch consisted of upgraded Fourth Grade ingredients.

The refinement difficulty was equivalent to Peak Fifth Grade Medicinal Pills.

Even for the current Wang Chen, it posed a certain degree of difficulty.

If not for the Flame Elf's support and the Multi-Headed Flame Spirit's assistance, Wang Chen truly would not have challenged such difficult pill refinement.

This time, Wang Chen was not as casual as before.

He still used nine Beast Flame Spirits, but he placed the medicinal ingredients into the Cauldron one by one.

Only after completely refining the previous ingredient would he add the next.

This took more time, but it could greatly reduce the difficulty of refinement.

Every time he refined a material, Wang Chen would summon a Beast Flame Spirit to protect the medicinal liquid.

Keeping the medicinal liquid in its optimal state like this was also beneficial to pill formation.

"Phew~~"

Time passed bit by bit, and Wang Chen finally refined all the medicinal ingredients into medicinal liquid.

"Condense!!!"

Without hesitation, Wang Chen began fusing and refining all the medicinal liquids according to the order in the pill formula.
