Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization

Chapter 321 Level 4 Alchemist

December in the Xiuzhen calendar year.

Alchemy room.

Today is the day when the fourth-grade elixirs in Wang Qiye’s eight furnaces are ready to be produced. However, there are actually only seven furnaces because one unfortunately exploded.

On this special day, the alchemy room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. Wang Qiye stood in front of the alchemy furnace, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He had been eagerly looking forward to this day, imagining the glorious scene when the fourth-level elixir came out of the furnace, which would be an important milestone in his alchemy career.

But now, his mind was firmly occupied by the welding furnace. The mysterious furnace seemed to have an irresistible magic that completely immersed his mind.

Duanmu Lan stood quietly by the side, her beauty was like a blooming flower, stunning. She was wearing a green long skirt, the hem of the skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

Her eyes were sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. She knew that the production of this fourth-grade elixir was of great significance to Wang Qiye, and it might also bring them unexpected gains.

Yan Mengwan's gaze moved between Wang Qiye and Duanmu Lan. She was wearing a light blue dress, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyes revealed intelligence and sharpness.

In the alchemy room, the alchemy furnace exudes a hot breath, and the flames jump in the furnace, as if telling of the upcoming miracle.

Although Wang Qiye's mood was much calmer, he was still full of tension deep in his heart. He knew that alchemy was an art full of risks, and even the most experienced alchemists could not guarantee success every time.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the alchemy room became more and more tense. Wang Qiye stared at the alchemy furnace closely, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated as time went by.

Duanmu Lan stood beside him silently, giving him silent support. Yan Mengwan was also waiting nervously, her heart full of anticipation.

Finally, a slight sound came from the furnace, as if it was a signal that the elixir was about to come out. Wang Qiye's eyes flashed with excitement, he knew that the critical moment had come. He took a deep breath, and then carefully opened the furnace. A strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose, making people feel relaxed and happy.

In the furnace, more than eighty crystal clear fourth-level pills lay quietly, emitting a mysterious light. Wang Qiye showed a gratified smile on his face, knowing that his efforts were not in vain. Duanmu Lan and Yan Mengwan also showed joyful expressions, and they were happy for Wang Qiye's success.

"It worked, it really worked!"

When this moment came, a brilliant smile bloomed on Wang Qiye's face. That smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright.

He opened his mouth wide, his eyes sparkling with excitement, his heart filled with joy and pride. "This furnace of Juling Pills was a success, haha. More than 30 high-quality pills, more than 30 medium-quality pills, and more than 20 low-quality pills. I have achieved this result in the first furnace. I am going to catch up with Master Gongsun."

His voice was full of excitement and confidence, as if he saw his own brilliant achievements in alchemy in the future.

Duanmu Lan stood aside and said softly, "Congratulations, my fourth-level alchemist." Her face was filled with a smile that was even happier than Wang Qiye's.

All the mid-grade and high-grade elixirs refined by Wang Qiye today are hers. Her eyes are full of anticipation and satisfaction.

Yan Mengwan also put on a smile and sent her blessing: "Congratulations, Junior Brother Wang." Her eyes were full of admiration and praise. She knew that Wang Qiye had put in a lot of effort on the road of alchemy, and now he finally achieved such excellent results.

"Sister Yan, mine has already been completed, I believe your furnace will not be able to escape either." Wang Qiye turned his head and looked at Yan Mengwan, his eyes full of confidence. He knew that Yan Mengwan was also a very good alchemist, and her efforts and talents were no less than his own.

"Then I would like to thank Junior Brother Wang for his good words. There are still six furnaces, so let's start them quickly." Yan Mengwan responded, but there was not much joy on her face.

Wang Qiye was so overwhelmed with joy that he didn't notice the faint look of parting on her face, and walked excitedly towards the next alchemy furnace.

"Haha, this batch is also successful. I said, I am confident in refining this batch of Qi-replenishing pills." The success of another batch of fourth-level pills deeply stimulated Wang Qiye.

Now, he was not so eager to study the welding furnace. His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, as if he saw a bright future in his alchemy career.

"Not bad, 10 high-quality pills, 20 medium-quality pills, and the rest are low-quality. It's acceptable." Duanmu Lan commented. Her eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction. Although the quality of this furnace of pills was not particularly high, it also met her expectations.

"This furnace of Qingling Pills is full of low-grade pills, so I just made a small profit." Duanmu Lan said disdainfully as another furnace of pills came out of the furnace. She was not satisfied with the quality of this furnace of pills, but she also knew that in the process of refining pills, it was impossible for every furnace to be as good as expected.

Finally, it was time for the last furnace. After five furnaces of pills were successfully produced, Wang Qiye could not help but look forward to the most difficult fourth-level pill to be refined in this welded furnace, the Peiyuan Pill. His heartbeat quickened, and his eyes were fixed on the furnace, as if he was waiting for a big surprise.

"Hey, what is this?" Wang Qiye opened the alchemy furnace and smelled a medicinal fragrance, but there was no elixir inside. Instead, there was a medicinal liquid inside.

"The medicine took 810 days to refine?" A puzzled look appeared on his face, not knowing what was going on.

"You are so ignorant. This is spiritual liquid. To put it bluntly, it's a kind of spiritual fertilizer that ripens herbs." Duanmu Lan rolled her eyes at him. She was very disappointed that no pills came out of this furnace.

She was originally full of expectations for this furnace of Peiyuan Dan, but she didn't expect the result to be like this.

"The furnace really didn't explode. The boy didn't lie to me. Is this thing valuable?" Wang Qiye was happy that he hadn't been deceived. However, he was still more concerned about the refined product and whether it had lost money. There was a trace of worry in his eyes. After all, alchemy is also an investment. If you don't get the corresponding return, you will feel disappointed.

"It's not a loss, but the value is only twice the cost. After all, there are many types of spiritual fertilizers, and most of them are cheaper than spiritual liquid. It's just that spiritual liquid is made from herbs and is the easiest to absorb." Duanmu Lan explained. She knew the value of these spiritual fertilizers very well.

"It's good that I didn't lose money." Wang Qiye breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't lose money, he felt it was acceptable. After all, alchemy is risky, and not every time you can get huge profits.

"You already have two spiritual trees, why don't you use them yourself?" Duanmu Lan asked suddenly. She felt that Wang Qiye was a little careless.

"Yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me." Wang Qiye then remembered that he still had a lover's peach and a white jade sour plum in his care.

He quickly collected the spiritual liquid into a porcelain bottle, thinking that he would give it to Shuanghua at night and ask her to take good care of the two spiritual trees. He knew that the two spiritual trees were very important to him, not only could they provide precious spiritual fruits, but also increase his cultivation resources.

Wang Qiye's heart was full of anticipation. He hoped that the two spiritual trees would thrive under the nourishment of the spiritual liquid and bring him more surprises.

This last batch of spiritual liquid also stunned Yan Mengwan. She had been refining pills for so long, but she had never seen anything like this.

"Miss Duanmu, is this spiritual liquid easy to refine?" Yan Mengwan's eyes were full of curiosity, and she was eager to know more about the spiritual liquid.

Duanmu Lan turned around and smiled at her, her smile as beautiful as a spring flower. "Spiritual fluid is easier to refine than elixir, but it takes the same amount of time as a furnace of elixir. And now there is a special secret realm to cultivate the fertilizers needed for the growth of those herbs, and the cost is lower." Duanmu Lan explained patiently, her voice soft and pleasant, like a spring flowing in the mountains.

"Since this spiritual liquid cannot be sold at a high price, alchemists are no longer willing to refine this spiritual liquid, which is time-consuming and laborious, and also has the risk of exploding the furnace." Duanmu Lan continued, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. In this profit-oriented world, alchemists also have to consider costs and benefits.

"So that's how it is." Yan Mengwan nodded, not quite understanding, but her eyes were still full of doubts. She knew that the road to alchemy was full of challenges and unknowns, and every new discovery could change her cognition.

"Junior Brother Wang, this is your first time refining a fourth-level elixir. Six furnaces have become elixir, one furnace has become spiritual liquid, and only one furnace exploded. It can be said to be a great success." Yan Mengwan sincerely wished him well, her eyes full of admiration. Yan Mengwan looked at Wang Qiye, feeling deeply moved. This junior brother's progress on the road of alchemy was so fast that it was amazing.

Wang Qiye smiled at her, with a hint of humility in his smile. "In fact, there are more or less shadows of the fifth-level pill refining techniques in this, otherwise the success rate of refining pills for the first time would not be so high."

Wang Qiye knew very well that his success was not accidental. He had been constantly exploring and experimenting during the alchemy process, and had learned from the refining techniques of the fifth-grade elixir to achieve such results.

Wang Qiye was very pleased. In fact, it was his first time refining a fourth-level pill, and his only goal was to not blow up the furnace. "It's a pity that I can't teach you everything here, but sister, after we refine a few more furnaces and accumulate enough experience, I believe our success rate will go up by then."

Wang Qiye's eyes were full of anticipation. He hoped to make continuous progress on the path of alchemy with Yan Mengwan and explore higher-level alchemy techniques together.

Yan Mengwan nodded. She understood Wang Qiye's difficulties. The art of alchemy often has strict inheritance and confidentiality requirements, and cannot be easily taught to others. But she believed that through her own efforts and cooperation with Wang Qiye, she would be able to achieve greater success in the alchemy journey.

"It's a pity that I am so tired of accompanying you on this journey. Now, please allow me to take a break."
