Chapter 1,096 The Real Seventh-Rank Alchemist (Part 2)
Although it is just a turn of the Essence Essence Pill, who is Brother Li Cheng? How can he be compared to those ignorant and vulgar guys?
After some inspection, Brother Li Cheng was pleasantly surprised to find that the Yi Zhuan Marrow Pill that Yang Chen had personally refined in front of him had reached the ultimate level in terms of its efficacy, temperature, distribution of medicinal properties, and its ability to serve as a monarch, minister, and envoy.
Usually, elixirs that achieve this effect must be refined at least five times, and five times of refining may not be able to achieve this level. At least it would take the best alchemist's sixth-turn elixir, or an ordinary alchemist's seventh-turn elixir to reach this level.
In other words, Yang Chen's one-level elixir was equivalent to other people's sixth-level or even seventh-level pills. What this explains is simply self-evident.
However, Brother Li Cheng did not end there. Instead, he asked Yang Chen to take all the refined elixirs, take them out one by one, and check them one by one.
Brother Li Cheng was even more satisfied with the inspection results. Yang Chen also refined about a hundred pills in this batch, and the quality of each pill was very average. According to Brother Li Cheng's judgment, the difference between the best and worst effects of more than a hundred pills is less than half.
This is already a jaw-dropping level of control. You know, not long ago, when Yang Chen refined more than a hundred marrow pills that were combined with pills, two of them were at least 50% or more more effective than the others.
Only when the control is weak will some top quality products occasionally come out. When the level of control reaches a certain level, just like now, there are so many pills that are almost the same.
It’s not that it can’t be said to be excellent. It is the elixir refined under such conditions. Almost all of them are top quality.
The elixir looks ordinary, that's because all the medicinal effects are perfectly sealed in the elixir without leaking out at all, so naturally it doesn't look that good. For the truly knowledgeable monks, this is the ultimate state of returning to nature.
"Very good!" Brother Li Cheng nodded again and then directly asked a question that seemed incomprehensible to outsiders: "What did you gain from this alchemy?"
"Actually, what kind of pill lines are there on the pill? How many pill lines there are. It really doesn't matter." Yang Chen also answered inexplicably, but Brother Li Cheng understood it. Not only that, he also agreed with it and kept nodding.
"However, having a few more pill lines is somewhat beneficial." Yang Chen said immediately, but it seemed to be somewhat contradictory to what he said before.
"What should I say?" Li Cheng seemed to be interested and started discussing with Yang Chen.
"After all, how many people in this world are really knowledgeable?" Yang Chen smiled and said, "Most of them still don't understand. Everyone can only count the pill patterns to compare which pill is better. Those with more pill patterns . The medicine is naturally effective, and they have enough confidence to take it. Sometimes if there is just a little lack of confidence, the results will be completely different. So, it should have a good sales appearance, it is better to make it more attractive!"
This is considered from the perspective of these monks who do not know how to make elixirs but need to take elixirs. Li Cheng listened to Yang Chen's words and also nodded. What a brilliant elixir. There is no point in showing it. In the end, the monks had to take it. If the level is high but the users don’t agree with it, what will the level be even higher? Compared with the number of simple pill patterns, it is indeed much simpler.
"In addition, no matter how exquisite the previous refining is, one more round of refining can always improve it to some extent." Yang Chen then said: "If you insist on pursuing the most extreme alchemy effect, just a few more rounds of refining will do the trick." It’s still good. Even if I already have this effect with the first turn of the elixir, after six turns, the effectiveness of the medicine will be improved by at least half. In terms of the efficiency of elixir refining, the gain outweighs the loss, but the improvement in effectiveness is an indisputable fact."
"The fact that you can say this means that you really understand alchemy." Brother Li Cheng finally gave his evaluation: "I believe that you are now a true seventh-grade alchemist."
Brother Li Cheng didn't see how many pill patterns Yang Chen could refine, but he judged Yang Chen's true level just by relying on Yang Chen's knowledge of pills.
Yang Chen was also very surprised. As he said, sometimes the number of pill patterns really doesn't mean much. A long time ago, Yang Chen could actually refine elixirs with seven pill patterns, but Yang Chen never felt that he was already A seventh-grade alchemist.
That is to say, when the Soul-Absorbing Furnace was completely passed on and he no longer relied on it, Yang Chen had real insights and real improvement. At this moment, even Brother Li Cheng recognized Yang Chen's alchemy skills, and a happy smile appeared on Yang Chen's face. As Brother Li Cheng said, this is a true seventh-grade alchemist, not the kind who only knows how to add seven pill lines to the pill.
This time the elixir refining was delayed for several more months. By the time the girls returned from their respective sects and actually started traveling, it was already the third year.
During the preparation time, Yang Chen also asked the girls to go back to the sect and say hello to the sect. After all, they may have to be in seclusion for thousands of years, so they can't worry their respective sects without any news.
Everyone else is relatively normal, because nothing major happened in the sect. The only one who has not seen his master is Tao Junqi. Sect Master Li had already accepted Tao Junqi as his disciple before, but now Sect Master Li has announced that he is in seclusion, so Tao Junqi has not seen Sect Master Li himself.
Fortunately, the leader of the Wu sect knew what was good and did not make things difficult for Tao Junqi. On the contrary, he provided all the necessary supplies, and the treatment was completely in line with the standards of the sect leader's direct disciples, and did not fall behind in the slightest.
Tao Junqi had been told by Yang Chen a long time ago. When she returned, she only informed the sect that she would be in seclusion with her husband for a thousand years. She didn't say much else. The sect didn't ask any questions. Tao Junqi returned to Yang Chen within a few days of staying in the sect. Because of the close distance and having only stayed in the sect for a few days, she was the first to return to Yang Chen.
As soon as she returned to Chunyang Palace, Tao Junqi entered the Dragon Palace and met her husband and brother Li Cheng. After the visit, Tao Junqi went back to his room to rest. Yang Chen and Li Cheng looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other's eyes.
"Junqi sometimes still trusts Xuantian Sect too much." Yang Chen couldn't help but explain for Tao Junqi: "But sometimes she has no defense at all against the monks of the sect."
The reason why I say this is because both Yang Chen and Li Cheng have discovered that there is a very subtle mark of spiritual consciousness hidden in several small corners of Tao Junqi's body that they usually don't pay much attention to. This kind of spiritual mark has only one purpose, and that is for tracking. (To be continued ~^~)
