529 Chapter 529
~~
After today’s events, Feng Yao looked down on ye chen from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, ye chen was destined to live at the bottom of the society while she was destined to marry a noble. When that time came, her status would be incomparable to ye Chen’s. To think that when she first met ye chen today, she thought that he was a rich man’s son-in-law. She could not help but secretly hate herself for her poor judgment.
“Feng Yao is back?” Gu LAN and Lin ran greeted him warmly.
Feng Yao glanced at Gu LAN and Lin ran. She smiled stiffly as a reply and went straight back to her room.
Although Feng Yao’s expression was cold, Gu LAN and Lin ran only smiled slightly. They did not take it to heart and seemed very open-minded.
“Little fengyao may be a little cold, but she’s a good person. I hope you don’t mind, brother ye chen.” Lin Qiu thought that ye chen and Feng Yao did not know each other and explained with a smile.
Gu LAN also nodded in agreement.
Feng Yao was such a snobbish woman, yet Lin Qi and Gu LAN were still speaking up for her. Ye chen was a little speechless, but he still nodded casually. He did not mention what had happened in the afternoon. There was no need for him to stoop to the level of an ignorant little girl.
After chatting for a while more, it was late at night, and they each returned to their own rooms to rest.
Ye chen returned to his room and fused his two clones together. After cultivating for a day and drinking some Yulan wine, ye Chen’s cultivation base had improved again. In addition, the Dao profound realm spirit beast meat he had eaten before had some effect. Ye chen had a trace of a breakthrough to the third level of the spirit sea.
Even if his Astral Soul Fusion rate was zero, ye chen did not believe that his cultivation speed would be any slower than those so-called geniuses.
The next day, ye chen received news from Xuan an that he could already go to the apothecary Pavilion to work. He could light a fire for a one-star apothecary.
Ye chen cast his avatar. One of his avatars remained in his room to continue cultivating while the other headed to the apothecary Pavilion.
In the hall of the herbalist Pavilion, Xuan an greeted ye chen warmly when he saw him.
“Follow me.” Xuan an said, leading ye chen through a long corridor. that one-star apothecary is called Ming Yuan. He has a fiery temper and it’s not easy to work under him. The few people before him couldn’t stand it and quit. However, the other apothecaries in the apothecary Pavilion are not short of people for the time being and I can’t arrange for them. You can only bear with it for a while. I’ll see if I can find another apothecary for you next time.
“It’s fine. Sorry for the trouble.” Ye chen smiled. He felt that Xuan an was a good young man, but he did not know why he liked Feng Yao.
Xuan an smiled kindly and led ye chen through the long corridor. The corridor was lined with rooms on both sides. From time to time, pharmacists in long robes and apprentice alchemists in short robes would enter and leave. Looking inside, one could see a huge furnace placed in the center of the wide room. The flames were blazing, filling the entire room with fire.
Upon seeing this, ye chen felt a sense of familiarity. It reminded him of the time when he had been learning alchemy from master apothecary Xuanyi on lake island.
He followed Xuan an into a room. Inside, a tall apothecary in an apothecary’s robe sized ye chen up with a cautious gaze. This apothecary was a middle-aged man with a full beard on his face. He had a pair of big eyes and thick eyebrows, which made him look quite fierce. He was very different from the other gentle and elegant apothecaries.
“It’s you?” Ming Yuan’s eyes widened. He looked ye chen up and down a few times before turning to Xuan an and saying contemptuously, ” can this kid do it? ” His voice was like a Gong, shaking the entire room.
Sir Mingyuan, there’s no one else. Xuan an said with a bitter smile.
“Yingluo, that’s good. He’ll do.” Ming Yuan said, somewhat dissatisfied. He glared at ye chen. since you’re here at the apothecary Pavilion, you have to follow the rules. First, make a copy of the rules ten times. Look carefully, I’m a 1-star apothecary. When you’re lighting the fire, keep your eyes open. If you make any mistakes, I’ll beat you to death!”
Ming Yuan seemed to be quite proud of his title as a one-star apothecary. When he looked at ye chen, he had a condescending attitude.
Ye chen frowned slightly. This Ming Yuan was really difficult to get along with. However, his main purpose of coming here was to learn alchemy. He would bear with it for the time being.
Xuan an looked at ye chen and smiled apologetically. He also knew that Ming Yuan was not easy to get along with.
Ye chen saw Xuan an’s reaction and smiled in relief, indicating that he was fine.
Xuan an was only an errand boy in the alchemy Pavilion, so this was all he could help.
Other than Ming Yuan, who ye chen was a little disgusted with, ye chen was relatively satisfied with the rest. The job of burning fire was the easiest to learn the art of alchemy. There was also a bookshelf at the back, filled with all kinds of books related to alchemy. He could read them when he had the time.
The fire at the bottom of the furnace in the hall was burning fiercely. The red light of the fire reflected on ye Chen’s face.
Ming Yuan sat in front of the furnace attentively and used his celestial Chi to control the furnace. His celestial Chi transformed into seven-colored lotus flowers at the mouth of the furnace.
Ye chen felt a slight change in the furnace and suddenly opened his eyes.
The alchemy of the Tian Yuan continent was truly wondrous. Even a 1-star apothecary was not something an apothecary of the eastern continent could compare to.
Ming Yuan was refining a first-grade divine pill of origin. It used the meat of a soul beast in the profound God Realm as the main ingredient, supplemented by seventy-two kinds of exotic flowers and fruits. It was said that if the refinement was successful, one pill could be sold for five to six million Shadow Gold. However, if the refinement was successful, this primordial divine pill would belong to The Alchemist Pavilion. Ming Yuan would only get a very small portion of the profits, about one or two thousand Shadow Gold ancient coins.
The raw materials were provided by The Alchemist Pavilion. Each set of raw materials was worth hundreds of thousands of Shadow Gold ancient coins. Ming Yuan could not successfully refine it every time. He could only succeed once after five or six times or more.
After reading an alchemy book on fire control, ye chen had some understanding of fire-burning techniques. He was able to control the fire very well.
All of a sudden, ye chen felt the seven-colored Lotus at the mouth of the cauldron tremble.
“Not good!” Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Ming Yuan had made some mistakes in his celestial Chi control.
Ming Yuan also realized that something was wrong and quickly tried to remedy it. However, it was too late. The seven-colored Lotus trembled violently and then exploded with a bang.
A muffled sound came from the furnace.
The cauldron exploded!
Ming Yuan’s face immediately darkened and he scolded ye chen, ” f * ck, what’s wrong with you? the furnace fire is so strong. How did you control it? ”
Hearing Ming Yuan’s scolding, ye chen frowned angrily. There was no problem with his control of the fire. It was Ming Yuan who was distracted and did not control his celestial Chi well. Instead, he blamed ye chen for the mistake. No wonder those in charge of the fire had left.
“What, you’re still not convinced? You caused me to lose a furnace of raw materials. Do you know how much this furnace of raw materials is worth? You can’t afford it even with eight lifetimes of money!” Ming Yuan cursed and stood up to clean up the residue inside the furnace. The inside was already charred black.
Ye chen did not say anything. He could not be bothered to argue with Ming Yuan. He had come here to learn alchemy. There was no need to be angry with a person like Ming Yuan.
Seeing that ye chen did not talk back, Ming Yuan thought that ye chen was afraid. After cleaning the furnace, he put in the second set of raw materials and snorted in disdain. low-class people are low-class people. They don’t have any backbone at all. No wonder they can only be fire-makers.
After placing the second set of raw materials, Ming Yuan continued to refine.
The second one failed again, which made Ming Yuan angry.
you can’t even make a fire. If you fail two more times, you can f * cking get lost!
Ye chen glanced at Ming Yuan indifferently. Ming Yuan was the kind of person who had a bad temper but was not very capable. Ye chen had already seen some tricks in refining tier one origin divine pills these two times and even knew where Ming Yuan had gone wrong. However, Ming Yuan was still like a headless fly, messing around. It was lucky that he had gotten it right once!
After cultivating the second stage of the nine Astra skies, ye Chen’s mind had expanded greatly. His thoughts were extremely sharp and he was constantly calculating the process of refining a grade one origin divine pill.
Ye chen suddenly realized that the process of refining a tier one origin divine pill was similar to the process of refining the heaven rumbling cauldron’s shifter pill. The only difference was that the refinement of a tier one origin divine pill required some other raw materials to neutralize the medicinal properties so that the effect would be stronger.
Ye chen was overjoyed by this discovery.
He looked at Ming Yuan’s cauldron. It was an extremely ordinary human tier spiritual treasure. His heaven rumbling cauldron was of a much higher tier than this cauldron!
The success rate of refining pills was closely related to the quality of the furnace!
For the third time, ye chen secretly adjusted the heat to match Ming Yuan’s alchemy method.
He had finally succeeded!
Seeing the Golden and fragrant elixir in the cauldron, Ming Yuan was very excited. He took the elixir and ran out excitedly. This time, he only tried three times and successfully refined a first-grade origin divine pill. In the past, he would need at least five or six times. If he successfully refined this origin divine pill, he would get more than 3000 Shadow Gold ancient coins!
Before Ming Yuan left the room, ye chen glanced at the origin divine pill. The origin divine pill in Ming Yuan’s hand was Crimson all over. It was as crystal clear as a piece of red jade and shone with an alluring luster. A strange fragrance filled the entire room. It made people feel refreshed and as if they were floating.
This was a first-grade origin divine pill. Just from its alluring fragrance, one could tell that the medicinal power of the origin divine pill was extraordinary.
If ye chen were to consume such an origin divine pill, based on its medicinal power, it was estimated that ye chen could directly break through to the fourth or even fifth level of the divine sea.
Ye chen was currently only at the second level of the divine sea. He was still a little away from the third level!
A single origin divine pill was worth five to six million Shadow Gold ancient coins!
There were not many people in the entire Yanyun sacred city who could afford to eat origin divine pills. Although The Alchemist Pavilion produced a lot of origin divine pills every day, most of them had to be offered as a tribute to Zi Hua divine dynasty, which would then hand them over to the Dao court, which would then distribute them to the major combat divisions.
Even if it was only a first-grade origin divine pill, it was still an extremely luxurious resource. It was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.
While Ming Yuan was out, ye chen quickly walked to the bookshelf by the wall. There were hundreds of alchemy books densely arranged here. As a one-star apothecary, he had to at least read these alchemy books one by one and understand them before he could start refining pills.
