Chapter 9: Practicing alchemy!?
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang An was slowly getting used to the customs of this world, and he was even enjoying the new experience he was having. His life couldn't be better.
He cultivates during the day, studies in the afternoon in his library, and cultivates some more at night. He also spends time with Yang Xin at night, and wanders around Glory City occasionally.
In just one week, he surprisingly managed to raise his small cultivation from one-star bronze rank to five-star bronze rank. That's because he limited himself to learning new knowledge about inscriptions.
But even so, it came as a shock even to him who realized his terrifying speed, and quickly began to practice a skill of hiding his breath.
This was an ability that would allow him to hide his true cultivation level from other people.
To the public, his current cultivation was only two-star bronze rank; something that was already incredible considering his young age, and the fact that he only started practicing a week ago.
Today, a week after getting the Alchemical Furnace, Yang An was once again in his main room at the back of the association as he prepared for his first experience in trying to refine a pill.
Yang An would try to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, because he wanted to take his own pills and raise his own power. Only after entering the five-star Silver level could he merge with a demonic spirit and also refine more powerful pills.
The Spirit Gathering Pill increases the rate at which you cultivate by two or three times for two days. This was very good, as Yang An would save a lot of cultivation time using these pills.
"This Purple Raze Grass is really a big help!" Yang An began to refine.
Originally, he planned to do like Nie Li and spread the uses of this herb to the Association, but he gave up after thinking for a moment. He decided he would show them the way, and let them find out for themselves.
At this moment, Yang An separated his soul sense into about twenty separate parts and controlled the blue flame by incinerating more than twenty different medicinal herbs.
Also, these medicinal herbs had to turn into herbal powder at exactly the same time, so there didn't need to be the slightest time difference between them. This was easy for Yang An, as his soul strength and Tyrant blue fire properties increased the Success rate exponentially.
Meanwhile, Yang An also needed to use his entire brain to refine the various medicinal herbs into a solid mass.
Consuming the soul sense would normally have been too much, even for Yang An. But the Heavenly Creation Divine Cauldron allowed him to lower his soul sense consumption so that he didn't have to worry about it.
After a while, Yang An increased the intensity of the tyrant blue flames as the sounds of the crackling herbs grew louder and louder.
An hour later, when Yang An felt that he could no longer sustain his tyrannical blue flame technique, he then heard the sounds that indicated a successful blend.
"Success?" Yang An felt incomparably happy. Normally, if the pill concoction was a failure, there would be a mini-explosion of some sort. Just like the first day he arrived in this world.
But since that didn't happen, there was only one possibility…
Yang An's hands trembled as he lifted the lid, only to find seven tiny balls exuding a sweet fragrance throughout the room.
"Fuck! I'm really done!" Yang An was sweating profusely as he watched a heap of colored mist rising from the Heavenly Creation Divine Cauldron, and he couldn't help but swear.
With a confident smile, Yang An pulled out a jar of Jade from her space ring and placed all seven small marbles inside.
Looking at the seven snow-white 'Spirit Gathering Pill' inside the jade jar, and he couldn't help but smile.
He had eaten a 'Spirit Gathering Pill' before, but the quality of those didn't even come close to what he had personally refined.
No, it could be considered two pills from completely different worlds. Your pills could probably more than double the effects of a regular Spirit Gathering Pill.
…
Yang Xin's Room...
It was late at night, but Yang Xin still wasn't sleeping. As usual, she was still thinking about some things related to the Alchemist Association. This was a habit she acquired a long time ago.
Suddenly, hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned to look at who it was.
"Yang An, what trouble did you find yourself coming to meet me at such a late hour." Yang Xin asked.
But he suddenly felt the fragrance of herbs coming from Yang An's body and immediately frowned.
Yang An looked at Yang Xin's revealing outfits for a moment, and then said with a proud smile, "I want Big Sister to taste the first pill I refined!"
Boooom~'
"Which!"
Yang Xin fiercely stood up with his eyes wide open and his face filled with disbelief. His white rabbits bounced up and down in a killer move for any normal man.
But she didn't worry about that.
In his mind, only his nephew's words were resonating like a Dragon's roar in his head.
She originally thought that Yang An would take another year or two before he could successfully refine some pills, but she didn't expect it to take just a few days. If that were true, then what kind of monster did she have for a brother!
Yang An swallowed hard, then passed Yang Xin all seven snow-white 'Spirit Gathering Pills'.
Yang Xin's cherry mouth gaped open in shock as he looked at the Seven Snow White Pills in disbelief.
"Still hot!" Yang Xin's mind went blank in shock because she didn't believe that Yang An would really understand the refinement of pills in just a few days after starting to cultivate.
Is he a genius who was born once in a thousand years?
"Ha-ha Sister Xin, before you said I would have to wait a year and a half to actually refine a pill successfully, but I successfully refined it in just a few days, now you can give me a reward."
Yang An started laughing proudly as he looked at Yang Xin's shocked expression. He really liked seeing that expression on his face. She was cute, seductive, and very charming to look at.
Yang Xin was also very happy after recovering from the shock, so in a charming voice she asked:
"So, how can your big sister repay you?"
Yang An, with both hands hugging his chest proudly, looked at Yang Xin's petal lips, and said with a smile, "How about a kiss… on the cheek, of course."
"Dream about it, brat…" Yang Xin said, but then smiled when he saw Yang An's sour face: "That's what I wanted to say. But as I've seen how much effort you put into it, I think I can do that as a reward."
Yang Xin, while trying to contain his laughter, came close to Yang An and gave him a kiss on the cheek with his soft lips.
"My dear nephew, you only get this result with a lot of hard work, I know, but you shouldn't be too proud. Remember that there is always someone better than you out there."
