Chapter #108. One-Star AlchemistTian Fan carefully and meticulously read the books in front of him. He began to recall, analyze, and study each book. Not forgetting, he also noted what he considered important.After spending the whole day reading his master's books and notes, Tian Fan also began sorting out the level four herbal plants in his father's gift storage ring.From there, Tian Fan also found several spirit herbs in a special storage box. After finishing, he went to see Master Lian again."Master, I have read all the notes you provided, and I have studied them carefully. I am ready for the next practice," said Tian Fan."Very well, then. Start by practicing heating the three furnaces, as I mentioned before," said Master Lian.Tian Fan immediately began his practice. In the specialized pill refining room, he started using the furnaces given by Emperor Na Jong."Fan'er, on the left furnace, I want you to heat it and maintain it at half of its maximum temperature. The middle fu
Chapter #109. Secret WeaponGaining new knowledge ignited Tian Fan's spirit. His days were spent on various pill refining experiments. Now that he had become a true alchemist, he set a new goal for himself.Tian Fan began perfecting level one to level three pills with heavenly-grade effectiveness, ensuring their effectiveness exceeded 98%.He crafted these pills not only to refine his own methods but also to develop new techniques and abilities. For him, solidifying these skills meant not immediately creating level four pills, but rather advancing the levels and effectiveness of the pills below first.Master Lian was pleased with Tian Fan's patient mindset. What Tian Fan had in mind was indeed unique, and eventually, Master Lian followed suit.They both started refining and purifying pills from the lowest to the highest level three, aiming to create pills with pulses or veins.Master Lian didn't hesitate to use Tian Fan's methods and asked him questions. According to Master Lian, gain
Chapter #110. InnThe journey to the Northern Continent took about a month using Lu Bu's flying beast. On the seventh day, Lu Bu decided to take a one-day break in the city of Anhui, the first city the Sun Sect's group passed through.Anhui was one of the cities in the Bao Empire region.Lu Bu's eagle beast landed in one of the largest inns in the city of Anhui. After a perfect landing, they entered the inn to rest.The arrival of the Sun Sect's group caught the attention of other inn guests, who were masters of various sects, accompanying elders, and disciples of the sect. They directed their eyes toward Lu Bu's group as they entered the inn."Master Sect Lu Bu, long time no see," said an elderly man with a long white beard and white hair, cupping his hands in greeting to Lu Bu."Master Sect Gansu, how have you been? It's been a while since we last met," Lu Bu replied calmly, returning the courtesy from Gansu."I didn't expect that the 'decapitator' himself would accompany the repres
Chapter #111. CounterbluffThe atmosphere in the inn became lively after the incident. Although the guests didn't utter a word, they had their suspicions about Tian Fan being the cause of Gansu's disciples lying helpless. The physicians and alchemists present could only shake their heads, unable to comprehend what had happened to Gansu's disciples.Gansu looked toward Lu Bu, and his gaze seemed to plead for assistance. Understanding the meaning behind his senior's eyes, Lu Bu spoke up."Lian'er, can you help Senior Gansu? Perhaps you can assist them," Lu Bu suggested to Lian."Master, I'm sorry, but I can't. I'm not a physician. Fan'er is more suitable for this task as he has studied the art of healing," replied Lian swiftly, not wanting to be bothered with such matters, especially considering Gansu's earlier attitude.Lu Bu, familiar with the temperament of his sect's alchemist, then asked Guan Long to find Tian Fan and Tianzhi. Guan Long promptly left to locate the two.Within momen
Chapter #112. InsectsTian Fan sat calmly on the inn's bed, focusing on his soul power. He was attempting to control hundreds of pills intentionally released to train his soul power in controlling his pills.Applying his sword soul understanding to his pills, Tian Fan initially used ten pills as his training medium. Once accustomed and able to control these ten pills perfectly according to his version, Tian Fan began increasing the number of pills he controlled.Ten, fifty, one hundred...In the span of an incense stick burning, Tian Fan successfully fully controlled all one hundred of his pills using his soul power.Tian Fan rose from his seated position and stood in the middle of the inn room. Now, the pills surrounded Tian Fan, forming a circle around him in front, behind, to the right, and to the left.Within a range of five mi, each of the pills was under his complete control."At this point, my control range over these pills is only within a five-mi radius, the maximum range of
Chapter #113. Helpless Shi Jia was laid down by Tian Fan on a bed within the meeting hall at the inn. Tian Fan opted for the meeting hall due to the impracticality of laying her in the inn room given the numerous people examining her illness. At present, Shi Jia was encircled by Lu Bu, He Gang, Tian Fan, Master Lian, and a beautiful girl with her teacher, donned in red attire with a tiger emblem on her chest. "Greetings, fellow Daoists. Let me introduce myself, I am Qiong Hai from the Celestial Tiger Sect in the central continent, the ninth elder. And this is my disciple and a level three alchemist, Mayleen, a twenty-year-old, one of the ten talented young alchemists in the central continent," spoke Qiong Hai, with a hint of arrogance, puffing his chest out. "Greetings, Brother Hai, I am Lu Bu, Master of the Sun Sect from the Eastern continent, and this is Master Alchemist Lian and my disciple, Tian Fan," replied Lu Bu succinctly, without specifying Lian and Tian Fan's status. "Gr
Chapter #114. Mischievous AgainTian Fan concentrated deeply, channeling his soul power towards Shi Jia's head. He closed his eyes, calming his heart and mind first."Master Lu Bu, what is Master Fan going to do? I overheard your conversation earlier," said He Gang."As you heard, that's what he's going to do!" replied Lu Bu curtly."So, Master Fan is going to use his soul power to examine the contents of Shi Jia's head? Isn't it very dangerous to use soul power on someone?" said He Gang, looking concerned."It could be dangerous or not. It all depends on the user. If the user is a martial dao practitioner, their soul power can indeed harm another person's soul. But alchemist dao is different; the principles are opposite to martial dao. That's what I know," answered Lu Bu succinctly.He Gang simply nodded in resignation. She could only entrust Shi Jia to Tian Fan now since Tian Fan's analysis had proven to align with reality, giving him no reason to doubt this time.The room fell sile
Chapter #115. Gift for the MasterAs night fell, inside Tian Fan's room, he was busy tending to the herbal plants he possessed. He sacrificed one Altacia herbal plant for further research.On the table, Tian Fan prepared dozens of cups filled with powdered Altacia plants. On the floor lay many vials of pills containing other herbal plant powders Tian Fan had previously made, which he would use as additives for his research process.Tian Fan conducted dozens of experiments, yet none of them met his expectations."What's wrong? Is something missing?" muttered Tian Fan to himself. Sitting on the floor, he scratched his non-itchy head, thinking hard and recalling the combinations of concoctions he had learned.An incense stick passed, and Tian Fan smacked his forehead, laughing aloud. If anyone else were in his room, they would undoubtedly think he was mad, laughing to himself while repeatedly smacking his forehead."How foolish of me! I forgot about Altacia plants. Even though they grow
