10,000 Experience!

With 20,000 Universal Experience, even someone at the Dou Master level could directly raise their cultivation by two stars!

Unfortunately, Xiao Yang currently had less than 6,000 experience. Raising his rank to Second-Rank Alchemist required 10,000 experience.

If he continued refining First-Grade Elixirs like Healing Injury Powder, which did not even form into pills, he would need to refine a thousand batches.

The experience gained from refining elixirs was determined by their difficulty.

If the quality was better, there would also be additional bonuses.

When Xiao Yang refined elixirs in the future, he planned to make more difficult ones.

Just now, when he became a First-Rank Alchemist, a great deal of experience in refining First-Grade Elixirs had appeared in his mind.

He was confident that refining a First-Grade Elixir would now be much easier for him.

Xiao Yang immediately got to work. After adding one point each to his soul and cultivation experience, he began refining elixirs again.

This time, Xiao Yang refined a First-Grade Rejuvenation Pill.

This was a genuine elixir, entirely different from a beginner practice medicine like Healing Injury Powder.

Yet unlike his earlier unfamiliarity, Xiao Yang actually refined it successfully in a single attempt!

One had to know that the medicinal ingredients required for a First-Grade Rejuvenation Pill differed from those of Healing Injury Powder.

The extraction temperatures and techniques for different ingredients also required repeated practice.

But now, on his first attempt at extracting these ingredients, not only did he succeed with every one of them, he also smoothly refined a First-Grade Rejuvenation Pill!

As Xiao Yang succeeded, a system notification also sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations to the player for refining a First-Grade Elixir. Reward: Universal Experience +100, Shop Points +1000."

Seeing the notification, a trace of delight flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

Sure enough, a First-Grade Rejuvenation Pill gave far more experience than Healing Injury Powder.

Although it consumed slightly more time, Dou Qi, and soul power, it was still an absolute bargain!

As long as he refined ten First-Grade Rejuvenation Pills, he could directly raise his cultivation by one star!

Wasn't that far faster than cultivating on his own?

After breaking through to Dou Zhe, Xiao Yang had tested it as well.

Without using an Experience Doubling Card, cultivating for an entire night only earned him around 10 experience points.

But if he used that time to refine elixirs, then after deducting the experience needed to restore his Dou Qi and soul power, Xiao Yang could easily accumulate three to four hundred Universal Experience in one night!

If he used an Experience Doubling Card...

Xiao Yang did the math, and his eyes grew brighter the more he calculated.

He could even directly raise his cultivation by one star in a single day!

Perhaps even far more than that!

Over the next three days, Xiao Yang never left his room and spent all his time refining elixirs.

He directly used all three Experience Doubling Cards from the quest rewards!

After three days, Xiao Yang's Universal Experience had risen sharply!

[Universal Experience: 10766]

[Shop Points: 228420]

Over ten thousand experience!

Inside the room, Xiao Yang's face was somewhat pale as he stared at his game panel, his eyes filled with wild delight.

This was the result of more than three days of work.

The durations of all three Experience Doubling Cards had now expired.

He did not care about raising his Alchemist rank at the moment. All he wanted was to sleep properly.

Over the past three days, Xiao Yang had indeed been able to continuously restore his Dou Qi and soul power by adding experience.

But mentally, he was utterly exhausted.

Seeing that his experience card time had run out, he did not even have time to clean up the medicine cauldrons and jade bottles on the floor before collapsing into sleep.

Before his head even touched the floor, he had fallen into a baby-like slumber.

More than twenty jade bottles lay around him.

There was even a faint medicinal fragrance in the room.

What these jade bottles contained were not low-grade medicinal powders like Healing Injury Powder, but genuine elixirs!

They were all First-Grade Rejuvenation Pills!

The best among them even included a top-grade pill bearing pill patterns!

Very soon, more than ten hours passed, and Xiao Yang slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he turned over, he pressed down on something.

Clink!

Clink!

Several jade bottles beside him had been knocked over by him.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen asleep directly on the floor, surrounded by medicinal ingredients and the elixirs he had refined.

His medicine cauldron was still by his feet and had fallen over onto the floor.

He guessed that he must have kicked it over in his sleep.

Because he had slept for so long, Xiao Yang's eyes still felt somewhat sore.

He rubbed his eyes, got up, and stored the surrounding medicinal ingredients, medicine cauldron, and elixirs in his Storage Ring.

Only after finishing this did he inspect his panel.

Because the Mittel Auction House lacked some materials, the maid had been unable to buy the First Tier wood-attributed Magic Cores needed for First-Grade Rejuvenation Pills.

Therefore, Xiao Yang had no choice but to spend some Shop Points to buy Magic Cores from the shop.

This caused his Shop Points to decrease instead of increase.

Still, he felt it was worth it.

Spending a few thousand points in exchange for more than 4,000 experience was an absolute bargain!

He looked toward his secondary profession panel.

[Secondary Profession: First-Rank Alchemist (330+/10000)]

After three days of refining elixirs, even though he had not added any points, his Alchemist experience had still increased on its own.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly spent 9,670 Universal Experience and added it to his Alchemist experience.

The next moment, vast amounts of insight into First-Grade Elixirs and alchemy experience poured into Xiao Yang's mind.

It even included experience with some basic alchemy techniques and fire-control methods.

At the same time, a series of system notifications sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations to the player for completing the side quest—Second-Rank Alchemist!"

"Reward: Random Second-Grade Elixir Formula +5, 20 sets of random Second-Grade Elixir ingredients, Universal Experience +20000, Shop Points +500000!"

However, Xiao Yang had no time to claim the rewards. He was still constantly digesting the various First-Rank Alchemist experiences in his mind.

This knowledge was not profound, but it was extremely foundational and immensely vast.

It even included knowledge of many medicinal ingredients and various elixirs.

Who knew how long passed before Xiao Yang slowly came to his senses.

He discovered that it was already dawn.

When he had awakened earlier, it had still been nighttime.

He had spent several full hours digesting this knowledge!

But at this moment, Xiao Yang inwardly marveled at the power of the system.

With this experience, he was now confident that if he randomly obtained a formula for a First-Grade Elixir he had never seen before, he could refine at least a high-grade First-Grade Elixir on his first attempt!

After becoming familiar with it a few times, he could even refine First-Grade Elixirs with pill patterns!

However, Xiao Yang quickly tossed those thoughts aside.

He could hardly wait to claim the reward for becoming a Second-Rank Alchemist.

The next moment, several Second-Grade Elixir formulas appeared in his mind. His Universal Experience and Shop Points also surged dramatically.

At the same time, a new side quest appeared before him once more.

[Side Quest—Third-Rank Alchemist: Become a Third-Rank Alchemist.

Reward: Random Third-Grade Elixir Formula +5, 10 sets of random Third-Grade Elixir ingredients, Universal Experience +300000, Shop Points +3000000.]

Tsk, tsk. Sure enough, there was another follow-up side quest.

However, this quest would take quite a while to complete.
