Chapter 228 All Top-Tier Items
After receiving guidance from the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor and failing several times in a row, Chu Yunfan finally suppressed his thoughts and stopped thinking about anything else, focusing solely on refining pills.
In this state of being free from desires and wants, Chu Yunfan quickly found his footing and entered the state of mind's eye once again.
This time, having entered the Mind's Eye state with preparation, Chu Yunfan finally grasped a bit of the trick to entering the Mind's Eye state.
During the subsequent alchemy process, Chu Yunfan entered a state of mental focus, which made things increasingly easier.
Until the very end, Chu Yunfan was able to enter a state of mental insight every time he refined pills, and then he could refine perfect top-grade pills.
The Crimson Flame Pill Emperor, who was standing to the side, witnessed all of this. Even though he had become a spirit of the artifact and had no emotions, he still couldn't help but be surprised.
It should be noted that even though the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor was a top-notch alchemy genius, he could only occasionally enter the Mind's Eye state by luck. He could not enter the Mind's Eye state every time like Chu Yunfan, which was simply astonishing.
More importantly, entering the state of "Mind's Eye" only makes it easier to refine higher-quality pills; it has no necessary connection to producing top-grade pills.
Every time Chu Yunfan entered the Mind's Eye state, he would refine top-grade pills.
This shows that Chu Yunfan's talent and skill in alchemy were already top-notch.
Such a level of skill was something that the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor had never seen or even heard of in his thousands of years as an alchemist.
"With him around, my alchemy skills will surely flourish!"
It even surpasses the traditional alchemy techniques of the Pill God Valley!
Crimson Flame Pill Emperor stared intently at Chu Yunfan, his long-dormant emotions seemingly rekindled.
The reason why the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor cares so much about the inheritance of his alchemy skills is that...
On the one hand, it was due to his boundless love for alchemy.
On the other hand, it is because the alchemy techniques he inherited are very different from the mainstream alchemy techniques of the Qingyun Continent.
If his alchemy skills are not passed down, they will face the risk of being permanently lost.
In that case, he, the Crimson Flame Emperor, would be a sinner.
Traditional alchemy involves combining various medicinal herbs to create elixirs.
The alchemy techniques inherited by the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor are somewhat similar to the theories of traditional Chinese medicine. It emphasizes that as long as all things in the universe conform to the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, they can be refined into pills to achieve the desired effects through the mutual generation and restraint of Yin and Yang and the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements.
Logically speaking, the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor's alchemy technique is more in line with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, more powerful than traditional alchemy techniques, and has lower requirements for alchemy materials. It should be widely spread.
But the truth is quite the opposite, because while this alchemy technique has fewer restrictions on the materials used, it places much higher demands on the alchemist.
The difficulty of refining pills using only elixirs is completely different from that of refining pills using all sorts of seemingly random things.
The former is difficult, while the latter is hellish.
Therefore, the alchemy technique of the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor is on the verge of being lost.
However, perhaps it was fate, but the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor found Chu Yunfan as the successor of this alchemy technique.
Chu Yunfan not only possessed extraordinary talent in alchemy, but his mastery of traditional Chinese medicine theories also coincided with this alchemy technique.
Therefore, after inheriting the alchemy techniques of the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor, Chu Yunfan found that he was more adept at alchemy than before. He then spent only a week to fully master the new alchemy techniques and directly broke through to become a fourth-level alchemy master.
Of course, Chu Yunfan's alchemy technique has been changed to the Five Elements Alchemy Technique of the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor.
However, the prescriptions and elixirs used are the same as those in traditional alchemy.
After all, the conversion between the two alchemy techniques cannot be accomplished overnight; it requires a step-by-step approach.
Moreover, the formulas for traditional alchemy are in accordance with the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements; otherwise, the elixirs could not be made.
Traditional alchemy is essentially a way to reduce the difficulty of alchemy by replacing all sorts of alchemical materials with corresponding spiritual herbs.
It's a long story, but for Chu Yunfan, who was so focused on refining pills that he had lost all sense of time, it seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.
On this day, as the alchemy materials were exhausted, Chu Yunfan finally snapped out of his frenzied state of alchemy.
At this moment, the room was filled with various pill bottles, all of which were pills that Chu Yunfan had refined over this period of time.
"Senior Chi Yan, how long have I been refining pills?"
Chu Yunfan waved his right hand, storing all the pills into his storage ring, and then looked at the Crimson Flame Pill Emperor beside him.
He had been so engrossed in alchemy that he had completely forgotten about time.
"One month!"
"A month? That's a long time!"
Chu Yunfan rubbed his slightly swollen temples, feeling somewhat exhausted.
For a whole month, he devoted himself to alchemy, neglecting sleep and meals. Naturally, this placed a considerable burden on his mind and spirit.
"It seems I still need to refine some pills to restore my mental state!"
As he spoke, Chu Yunfan began refining pills again.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a batch of fourth-grade Clear Mind Pills had been refined.
The result, naturally, was nine top-quality Qingxin Pills.
After a month of hard work, Chu Yunfan has been able to guarantee a 100% success rate in refining fourth-tier pills, and they are almost all top-quality pills.
This terrifying success rate in refining pills, and the probability of producing top-grade pills, is something that even most Pill Kings, or even Pill Emperors, cannot match.
Afterwards, Chu Yunfan swallowed three Qingxin Pills at once, and immediately felt his mind and spirit recover considerably, and his head was no longer so dizzy and throbbing.
Next, Chu Yunfan refined several more batches of Qingxin Pills for future use in alchemy, and then left the room.
A moment later, Chu Yunfan appeared in the fat man's room.
When Chu Yunfan presented the results of his alchemy work over the past month, the fat man was so surprised that he jumped off the bed.
"You refined so many pills in a month?"
Looking at the countless bottles of pills in the room, the fat man could hardly believe his eyes.
Normally, an alchemist can only refine a few batches of pills a day, totaling about a dozen pills.
That adds up to about four or five hundred per month.
This result can only be achieved by not eating or drinking and constantly refining elixirs.
The number of pills Chu Yunfan took out was far more than four or five hundred; it was probably more than four or five thousand.
That's why the fat man was so surprised.
Chu Yunfan, however, did not offer an explanation. He simply smiled faintly and said:
"You're already this surprised? I'm afraid you'll be completely shocked after you've checked the quality of these pills."
Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, the fat man's eyes narrowed, and then, with a skeptical expression, he began to examine the pills one by one.
As Chu Yunfan had predicted, after the fat man finished checking all the pills, he turned into a robot, his face remaining calm and his eyes and mouth still.
After a long while, Chu Yunfan gave the fat man a push.
The fat man then came to his senses.
Once the fat man came to his senses, he immediately revealed his true nature as the landlord's foolish son.
"Hahaha! So many top-grade pills! I'm rich! I'm rich! Oh ho ho ho! Hehehehe!"
