<h4>Chapter 3042: Comprehending the Way of Alchemy</h4>
Jian Chen returned to the Heavenly Crane n. This time, he hadpletely recovered mentally. He had adjusted himself to his peak condition as if what had happened to Changyang Mingyue no longer affected him at all.
The past few days had brought him sorrow, but it also allowed him to see through a lot of things and set down a lot of baggage that he needed to set down. He hadpletely calmed down now.
On the Soaring Snow peak of the Heavenly Crane n, in the same alchemy room, Jian Chen saw ancestor Lan again and mentioned his request toprehend the Way of Alchemy again.
This time, ancestor Lan did not turn him down. She agreed to Jian Chen’s request happily and said, “Just stay here andprehend the Way of Alchemy during the uing period in peace. You don’t have to use He Qianchi’s identity anymore.”
“Yes, senior!”
Afterwards, Jian Chen cast aside all of his unnecessary thoughts and remained on the Soaring Snow peak at ease,prehending the Way of Alchemy like there was nothing else for him to do in the world.
He had already dealt with the matter regarding his elder sister, while fairy Hao Yue’s current fate was unknown. The only remaining thing for Jian Chen to do on the Ice Pole ne was to refine pills.
On top of that,prehending the Way of Alchemy. Elevating his master over the Way of Alchemy to a certain level was extremely important to Jian Chen.
He needed to refine high quality Godking grass into Godking pills himself. Then he needed to bring a sufficient quantity of them into the Darkstar World so that he could obtain ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood from the Darkstar race.
To Jian Chen right now, that was the only shortcut for him to release the Primeval Divine Hall’s seal through his own powers.
“Jian Chen, you don’t have any basic grasp over the Way of Alchemy, so if you want to learn how to refine pills, you’ll have to start from the beginning. I’ll teach you some basic knowledge regarding the Way of Alchemy first,” ancestor Lan said slowly. She extended a finger, and a tremendous amount of information immediately flowed into Jian Chen’s mind.
Even though it was only some basic knowledge regarding the Way of Alchemy, the basic knowledge that ancestor Lan provided to Jian Chen was extremely wide. Obviously, it was much wider than many alchemy sects of the Saints’ World, given ancestor Lan’s achievements with the Way of Alchemy. Even with Jian Chen’s current cultivation, it would take him some time to digest it all.
Jian Chen sat down in the middle of the air subconsciously and shut his eyes. He began to absorb the information as quickly as he could.
He had a feeling that the basic knowledge ancestor Lan had provided him with was probably even richer, even moreplete, and even more detailed than what he hade into contact with through the grandmaster alchemist, the Azure Ink Grandmaster, in the past.
Two hourster, Jian Chen finally opened his eyes. During this time, he hadpletely grasped everything regarding alchemy that ancestor Lan had passed onto him. He had also familiarised himself with the knowledge of various different materials,binations, and so on. All hecked right now was actual practice.
“Youpletely grasped the basic knowledge so quickly, much faster than what I was expecting. Looks like you also have quite the talent for the Way of Alchemy,” ancestor Lan’s voice rang out with a bit of surprise. She paused and continued with what she wanted to say, “Since you’ve already familiarised yourself with the basic knowledge, then you can try and refine pills next.”
“In the Saints’ World, with every age, every region, or even every alchemy organisation, there are various different names and divisions to pills of every different quality. Here, pills are divided into three main levels. These three main levels also happen to be their most popr names given the current world.”
“I call the first level spirit pills. Spirit pills are usually pills that Mortal realm and Sainthood cultivatorse into contact with. I call the second level saint pills. Saint pills are basically widespread among Origin realm and Godhood cultivators.”
“The saint pills of our Saints’ World correspond to the immortal pills of the Immortals’ World!”
“The third level are god pills that Primordial realm expertse in contact with. God pills also happen to be publicly recognised as the highest level of pills among the six worlds, as a pill that surpasses god pills has never appeared in the known history of the six worlds.”
“This is the way to refine a few spirit pills, which includes low, mid, high, and supreme grade spirit pills. You canprehend it yourself. When you can refine supreme grade spirit pills,e and find me.”
Ancestor Lan passed some more knowledge regarding the Way of Alchemy to Jian Chen before letting him go refine pills by himself.
After leaving ancestor Lan’s alchemy room, Jian Chen found a spacious ce on the Soaring Snow peak before taking out a low quality god artifact divine hall and setting it on the snowy ground. He turned around and entered the divine hall, beginning his pill refining in seclusion.
Within the divine hall, Jian Chen took out the Fortune Jade Pedestal,prehending the Way of Alchemy as he refined spirit pills.
He was notcking any alchemy cauldrons. He had plenty of alchemy cauldrons of various qualities in his Space Ring, all spoils he had obtained in the past through his battles. As for the heavenly resources for refining the pills, it obviously was not something he had to worry about given the presence of ancestor Lan, a grandmaster alchemist, and the Heavenly Crane n’s level of wealth.
Refining low level pills like spirit pills did not touch on the Laws of Alchemy. It focused on the understanding and knowledge of alchemy, such as thebination of medicinal herbs and the control over the fire.
Given the heights that Jian Chen had attained so far, refining spirit pills obviously did not pose too great of a difficulty. After several failures and exhausting some low level heavenly resources, he managed to refine various kinds of supreme grade spirit pills sessfully in just a year’s time.
Afterwards, Jian Chen visited ancestor Lan again to learn how to refine saint pills.
Saint pills corresponded to immortal pills in the Immortals’ World. In the domain of saint pills, the difficulty involved would multiply.
That was because refining saint pills would touch on the Laws of Alchemy. Not only did refining saint pills require exceptionally skillful technique,bination, and usage of various resources, the most difficult part was nurturing and refining each saint pill with the Laws of Alchemy.
“<i>If I want to refine saint pills, I need toprehend the Way of Alchemy first. The level ofprehension determines the quality of the saint pills refined,</i>” Jian Chen thought. He was calm, as cid as water, as he sat on the Fortune Jade Pedestal. He closely recalled all of the knowledge regarding the Way of Alchemy that ancestor Lan had exined to him.
However, his progress with alchemy slowed down. It was nowhere near as smooth as when he refined spirit pills.
Recently, it had not been particrly quiet in the Heavenly Crane n, as something major that could influence the fate of the entire n to a certain degree was currently unfolding.
Everything was all because the current leader of the Heavenly Crane n had sessfully be a Chaotic Prime, rising up to the ranks of great elders.
ording to the customs of the Heavenly Crane n, being the leader of the n was normally a duty held by an Infinite Prime. Once they broke through to Chaotic Prime, they would immediately relinquish their position and retire from the spotlight.
Right now, the Heavenly Crane n was in a sensitive period where the new leader seeded the old.
Although the three ancestors surpassed all else in the Heavenly Crane n and possessed the ability to decide the fate of the entire n, the three ancestors rarely ever handled these affairs. As such, the n leader was basically responsible for the various matters and decisions in the n.
The n leader possessed the ability to mobilise the many resources and forces the Heavenly Crane n had to offer.
As a result, the position of n leader also happened to be a symbol of authority in the Heavenly Crane n.
Now, who would be the next leader of the Heavenly Crane n had be an extremely hot topic in the n. It led to numerous great elders within the Heavenly Crane n gathering together and beginning a heated dispute.
