Chapter 3978 Impacting the Twelfth Level

The first to start Alchemy was an Immortal Lord-level expert, who was going to refine a Rank 10 Medicinal Pill.

Normally, a Medicinal Pill of this Rank would be as easy as pie for Hua Qiqi to refine.

But even so, she still didn't make her own decisions and began refining this batch of Medicinal Pills under Ye Bufan's guidance.

As an Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist, refining Rank 10 Medicinal Pills was naturally second nature to her, but under Ye Bufan's guidance, her heart was still filled with shock.

The so-called Dao of Alchemy refers to the understanding of Alchemy, the control of heat, the mastery of medicinal properties, their Fusion, and so on.

Hua Qiqi originally thought she had reached a profound level in these aspects, but when compared to Ye Bufan, she immediately discovered her own shortcomings.

And it wasn't just a small amount; there were significant deficiencies in many areas.

About half an hour later, this batch of Medicinal Pills was refined, and eight Medicinal Pills flew out one after another.

Each one shimmered with golden Pill Markings, all of them High Grade Medicinal Pills.

Seeing this scene, a round of applause erupted from the surroundings, and even Hua Qiqi herself was greatly shocked.

If she were to refine them herself, she would generally get seven Medicinal Pills, and although they would also have Pill Markings, they would be much fainter compared to the golden ones before her eyes.

In other words, under Ye Bufan's guidance, her demonstrated Alchemy attainment was a whole major Rank stronger than her previous self.

Both in terms of quantity and quality, there was a significant Leap.

This filled Hua Qiqi's heart with pleasant surprise; it seemed her decision was correct, and as long as she followed this man, she would gain immense rewards.

In comparison, the Spiritual Plants she had collected were simply not worth mentioning in her eyes.

She was already an Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist in the last Dan Wang Competition, and a hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye, with the Dan Wang Competition about to start again, yet she remained stagnant.

Previously, she had traveled to countless places, refining countless batches of Medicinal Pills, but still saw no hope of Breakthrough.

It wasn't until this man appeared that her inner spirit was reignited, and she felt closer and closer to becoming a Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist.

After distributing the Medicinal Pills, Hua Qiqi began her second batch of Alchemy.

One day later, under Ye Bufan's guidance, she was able to produce nine Rank 10 Medicinal Pills and eight Rank 11 Medicinal Pills, her progress was evident.

On the second day, Hua Qiqi changed her method; after consulting with Ye Bufan, she began to do it herself, with the other party only offering guidance when mistakes occurred.

This was also her cleverness; if she continued to be a tool, some of her own shortcomings would not be exposed and could not be corrected, making improvement extremely difficult.

Now that she had finally found an omnipotent teacher, she had to fully extract his value and fully enhance her Alchemy attainment.

Facts proved that her idea was correct; refining Medicinal Pills under Ye Bufan's guidance was still different from refining them herself.

Although the other party helped correct a few mistakes, only eight Rank 10 Medicinal Pills remained after refining one batch, which was one less than when she was acting as a tool.

Immediately after, the same happened with the second batch of Rank 11 Immortal Pills; their Rank directly dropped, resulting in seven Medicinal Pills.

Hua Qiqi was not discouraged; instead, she was full of fighting spirit and continued to refine the third batch, the fourth batch…

As time passed, another day went by, and her Alchemy attainment improved once again, returning to its previous level: nine Rank 10 and eight Rank 11 Medicinal Pills.

At this moment, her heart was filled with the shock brought to her by one man.

In two days, she couldn't remember how many Medicinal Pills she had refined; there were many types, and for some less common ones, she even had to re-check the Pill Formula before she could start refining them.

But this man was different; he was always calm and at ease, never needing to consult a Pill Formula, as if the refining methods for all Medicinal Pills were already etched in his mind.

This made Hua Qiqi even more curious: who exactly was this man? Why did he possess such high Alchemy attainment?

He had no Alchemist badge, no reputation, and she had never even heard of such a person in the Upper Heaven Domain.

Alchemy continued, and by the third day, she felt that her Alchemy attainment had greatly improved, with the time taken to refine each batch of Medicinal Pills halved.

Moreover, by this time, Ye Bufan pointed out almost no errors; what was lacking was only a deeper comprehension of Alchemy.

Starting on the fourth day, Hua Qiqi suddenly stopped refining Medicinal Pills for others, turning her head back with some hesitation, wanting to speak but holding back.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "Do you want to try refining a Twelfth-Order Celestial Pill?"

It must be said that in these past few days, he had personally witnessed this woman's Heaven-Defying talent in the Dao of Alchemy.

It had only been three days, yet she had improved by a large margin, becoming incomparable to her previous self.

"Yes."

Hua Qiqi's thoughts were revealed, and a blush appeared on her cheeks, but her tone was extremely firm.

"I've waited too long for this day; I want to try."

"You can. I think you're pretty much ready to refine a Twelfth-Order Celestial Pill now."

Ye Bufan did not object; he clearly saw Hua Qiqi's Alchemy attainment, which had already touched that threshold.

"Really? Can I really do it?"

Hua Qiqi was originally still a bit hesitant and uncertain, but after receiving Ye Bufan's affirmation, she was overjoyed and her confidence surged.

Ye Bufan said no more, just smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll try it now!"

Hua Qiqi took a deep breath, calmed her excited heart, and then with a wave of her hand, a large pile of immortal spirit grass appeared before her eyes.

She had waited too long for this day and had already prepared enough Materials for Alchemy, including the Pill Formula, which she had memorized by heart; all that was left was the final Breakthrough.

The Ice Soul Pill, a Medicinal Pill suitable for Ice-attribute Immortal Emperors, although only a Low Grade among Twelfth-Order Medicinal Pills, it was still considered a Twelfth-Order Celestial Pill.

As long as she could successfully refine it, it would mean becoming a true Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist.

Although the Alchemy had stopped, everyone present did not leave; they all watched silently from the side, hoping to witness the birth of a Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist with their own eyes.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Hua Qiqi conjured flames and opened the Pill Furnace to begin Alchemy.

With the previous experience of failing to refine the Three Treasures Meridian Building Pill, this time she calmed her mind and completely forgot everything around her, with only this batch of Medicinal Pills in her heart.

Heating the furnace, adding Medicinal Plants, purifying… everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

It must be said that the improvement in these past few days was truly immense, especially the experience of refining the Three Treasures Meridian Building Pill, which helped her immeasurably.

Although she had only acted as a tool previously, the comprehension of refining Twelfth-Order Celestial Pills was etched in her mind, having a profound impact on her.

Ye Bufan stood by and watched quietly; her technique was still a bit rusty, and there were still some deficiencies in the process, but he did not speak to guide her.

What she wanted was not just a batch of Medicinal Pills, but a proof, a proof of whether she could independently step into the Rank of a Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist.

Therefore, he could not interfere at this time; he could only let her perform on her own. The scene was silent, and time passed by minute by minute. An hour later, a faint Pill fragrance wafted out from within the Pill Furnace.
