Dou Po: The Alchemist from the Ye Family

When I came to Xuan Kongzi's office again, I saw the same scene that had not changed for thousands of years, and my teacher seemed to be very leisurely, still cleaning the spotless bookshelf.

Well, Ye Chen himself knows very well that if he has reached Xuan Kongzi's current state, if he wants to make progress, it can no longer be achieved by practicing hard in seclusion.

Maybe if the opportunity comes, he can break through even if he is sleeping; but if the opportunity does not come, then he cannot break through even if he is in seclusion until death.

This is also the reason why many people who have reached this level of cultivation often do not see any change for decades or even hundreds of years.

"Teacher!" Ye Chen saluted respectfully.

Xuan Kongzi was naturally happy when he saw the direct disciple that he had chosen over thousands of times. He glanced at Ye Chen and said with a smile: "Is this a breakthrough? Not bad, it seems that you are also very talented in fighting qi cultivation.

Not bad."

Ye Chen chuckled and said modestly: "It's not bad, it's not as good as the teacher said."

"Ha ha……"

Seeing his disciple's appearance, Xuan Kongzi laughed loudly and nodded at him, then said: "Tell me, why do you want me to be my teacher?"

Obviously, after this period of getting along with each other, Xuan Kongzi also got to know a lot about his disciple. He knew that this kid was a cultivator and would never come to him if nothing happened.

Ye Chen rubbed his nose, but he was not polite, and said directly: "It's just that the disciple is going to start refining the seventh-grade elixir, so I want to ask the teacher for advice and listen to the teacher's teachings..."

Xuan Kongzi moved his hands for a moment, turned his head in surprise, looked at Ye Chen, and said, "Are you ready to try the seventh-grade elixir now? How sure are you?"

According to Xuan Kongzi's idea, this time will have to wait at least a year.

After all, I am a disciple who is too young. I am only sixteen years old now. How long will it take me to become a sixth-grade alchemist?

From the sixth level to the seventh level, it can be said to be a huge improvement for the alchemist, which is of great significance, so you must have sufficient accumulation.

Ye Chen thought about it for a while. If he was confident, to be honest, he wasn't very confident.

"Hmm... I'm 30% sure..."

Although Ye Chen tried to speak as lowly as possible, Xuan Kongzi stared at him.

"Thirty percent? You are really humble..."

Xuan Kongzi looked at his disciple and said angrily: "Do you know that even among those seventh-level junior alchemists who have truly been promoted, many people dare not say that they have such a high rate of elixir formation!"

This makes Ye Chen helpless. When he makes the elixir by himself, the success rate is at least 70%...

The 30% rate of elixir formation was already very low in his opinion.

Xuan Kongzi pondered for a moment and then said: "However, since you have such confidence, it is okay to try it. Let's do this. I will be with you for a while, and I will check it for you, and then you can try to refine it.

Even if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, it will also be good for you to be promoted to seventh-level alchemist in the future.”

Xuan Kongzi's words made Ye Chen feel happy, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, teacher!"

There is no way, this is the advantage of having a strong and good teacher, who can give you advice at any time, and can also impart very precious experience in refining medicine.

Especially for an eighth-grade peak alchemist like Xuan Kongzi, even a few casual words can benefit Ye Chen a lot.

In the special alchemy room of the Dan Pagoda, because it was the first time to refine seventh-grade elixirs, in order to prevent accidents, such as a furnace explosion or something, Xuan Kongzi took Ye Chen directly to the special alchemy room in the Dan Pagoda...

…

Here, even the movement caused by refining seventh-grade high-level elixirs will basically have no impact.

"Are all the medicinal materials ready?" Xuan Kongzi looked at his disciple and asked softly.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.

"Okay, let's get started..."

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, Ye Chen immediately released his Star Cauldron.

However, the moment he saw this silver star cauldron, Xuan Kongzi was shocked...

"This...this is..."

Although it was impossible to determine which medicine cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron List this was, Xuan Kongzi could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in the big cauldron in front of him.

"This kid is really lucky..."

Soon, Xuan Kongzi also stabilized his emotions, because he remembered what his ancestor had said to him, and knew that this kid Ye Chen had received the inheritance of a terrifying and powerful man.

Now it seems that the powerful man is probably also an alchemist, otherwise he would not have such a terrifying medicine cauldron.

"I originally planned to prepare a high-level medicine cauldron as a gift for this kid, but I didn't expect that such a medicine cauldron was made quietly. It is even better than the medicine cauldron in my hands as a teacher!"

In this way, he, the teacher, can relax and don't have to worry about the disciples not having a good medicinal cauldron.

Ye Chen naturally didn't know what Xuan Kongzi was thinking, and he wasn't prepared to conceal his original intention of receiving the inheritance, so he took out the Star Cauldron directly.

He took out a box one meter long and wide from the Najie. There were jade boxes stacked inside. After opening them, they all contained some precious and high-grade medicinal materials.

These were all medicinal materials approved by Xuan Kongzi for him to practice. They were of such high value that even the Ye family would probably have to spend a lot of money to get them.

But now, it's just a word from my teacher...

Ye Chen once again felt the benefits of relying on a top power.

The next process was a familiar one, but when refining the medicinal materials, Ye Chen clearly felt the difficulty increase.

Obviously, the medicinal materials used in the seventh-grade elixir are higher than those in the previous sixth-grade elixir, and the difficulty of refining them is also much higher.

But this is still expected, and Ye Chen's Spark is not a vegetarian, its temperature even exceeds the other fires at the bottom of the list...

However, the biggest difficulty in refining seventh-grade elixir medicinal materials does not end there, but the addition of countless types of medicinal materials.

If most of the general sixth-grade elixirs have four or five main ingredients plus a number of auxiliary drugs, then the seventh-grade elixirs will directly double this number.

The more medicinal materials required, the more terrifying the difficulty of refining them will be. Even towards the end, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

The reason lies in the consumption of alchemists...

This kind of consumption not only refers to the aspect of fighting spirit, but also the alchemist's soul power, mind, etc. These are all comprehensive considerations for the alchemist. It is definitely not just a high soul power that can become a seventh-grade alchemist.

So simple!
