~~

Ye chen pulled out the first book on the first row of the bookshelf and flipped through it. He skimmed through ten lines at a glance and the lines of words were reflected in ye Chen’s mind as if they were engraved on it. He remembered them very clearly.

With ye Chen’s current mind expanse, it was not difficult for him to remember these things.

!!
Over the past tens of thousands of years, the art of alchemy had evolved to the extreme on the Tian Yuan continent. It had been perfected by countless Alchemist Masters, and the new theories they had created were beyond the imagination of the eastern continent’s alchemists. It was no wonder that any random 1-star apothecary was equivalent to a divine craftsman apothecary on the eastern continent.

After reading all this information, it wasn’t difficult to become a one-star apothecary. It was said that Ming Yuan had been refining pills for decades, but he was only a one-star apothecary. It could only be said that his aptitude was too dull.

This information was all from the hands of a master, and it was their valuable experience.

Standing on the shoulders of a giant, how could the art of alchemy not work?

If master Xuanyi or senior brother Li Qing came over and read these alchemy books, it would probably be very easy for them to reach the level of a 1-star apothecary. After all, they all had a deep foundation in alchemy.

In half an hour, ye chen had already read three alchemy books that were as thick as a finger and had firmly memorized the contents in his mind.

Just as ye chen was flipping through these alchemy books, Ming Yuan walked in from outside. He saw ye chen flipping through the alchemy books and snorted disdainfully.

When he saw Ming Yuan enter, ye chen put the alchemy book back in its original place and sat back in front of the furnace.

“You’re just a fire-maker, do you think that you can become a 1-star apothecary just by reading these alchemy books? This is simply a fool’s dream!” Ming Yuan’s face was full of sarcasm. on the Tian Yuan continent, how many people want to go from low class to high class? do you think you can secretly learn alchemy by reading these alchemy books? You’d better give up on this idea as soon as possible. You’re just a fire-maker now, and you’ll still be one in the future. Don’t even think about turning over a new leaf in this lifetime!”

Ye chen ignored Ming Yuan and focused on digesting everything he had just learned. He treated it as if a dog was barking in his ear.

Seeing ye Chen’s expressionless face and silence, Ming Yuan was a little dissatisfied. His eyes revealed a trace of bad intentions and he mocked, ” “If you want to become a 1-star apothecary, your Astral Soul Fusion must be at least 20. Do you have that? I’ve heard that you’re from the eastern continent, with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of 0. Tsk tsk, you’re the only one in the past thousands of years to have an Astral Soul Fusion rate of 0, and you didn’t even kill yourself. Your skin is also one of the thickest in the past thousands of years!”

After Ming Yuan said a few words, he saw that ye chen had no reaction and felt bored. He did not say anything more. Just now, the third set of materials had been refined into a grade one origin divine pill. He was in a good mood and felt that ye chen was barely qualified to be a fire Maker. If he went too far and ye chen really killed himself, it would be a pity. After all, it was difficult to find a good fire Boy.

Ming Yuan refined a few more medicinal pills. Basically, he would succeed once every three times. This made him quite excited, and his words of ridicule toward ye chen decreased. Every time he went out to hand over the medicinal pills to the apothecary Pavilion, ye chen would quickly flip through the alchemy books on the shelf and put them down before Ming Yuan returned.

In one day, ye chen had read more than a dozen books that were as thick as a finger.

The news that Ming Yuan had successfully refined five first-grade origin divine pills in a day spread quickly through the entire Alchemist Pavilion. The alchemists in The Alchemist Pavilion clicked their tongues in wonder. Did Ming Yuan suddenly have a breakthrough in his alchemy skills?

Ming Yuan had a fiery temper and lacked patience. His aptitude was also very ordinary. His success rate in alchemy had always been the kind that ranked at the bottom in the entire apothecary Pavilion. The fire children under him had also changed one after another, becoming the laughing stock of the entire apothecary Pavilion. However, no one had expected that he would suddenly explode. His success rate in alchemy suddenly became the kind that was the highest among the one-star apothecaries in the apothecary Pavilion.

An ordinary 1-star apothecary would be at their limit if they could successfully refine two to three divine origin pills a day. The higher the success rate of refining pills, the less raw materials they would waste.

Ming Yuan refined five first-grade origin divine pills in a day. This efficiency was enough to make the alchemists shocked and envious.

As a result, Ming Yuan was quite proud of himself in the pharmacist Pavilion. Even when he walked, he was a lot more arrogant.

In an inner hall of the apothecary Pavilion, an old man with white hair and a white beard sat behind a wide table. In front of him stood a few people who were reporting to him about today’s work.

This old man was called Jiang Tao. He was one of the many supervisors of the apothecary Pavilion. He had a total of seven one-star apothecaries under him, and Ming Yuan was one of them.

Looking at the booklet that was handed to him, Jiang Tao’s wrinkled old face flashed with some surprise. He said, ” why did Mingyuan refine so many first-grade origin divine pills today? ”

we’re not sure either. According to him, he had a breakthrough in his alchemy skills, which was why his success rate was so high. One of them replied respectfully.

“He found the child?” Jiang Tao asked. Previously, because he couldn’t find the fire child, Ming Yuan had not produced any medicinal pills for five or six days in a row. Moreover, the failure rate of the previous Alchemist refining was extremely high, almost causing The Alchemist Pavilion to lose money. He was considering whether to fire Ming Yuan, but he didn’t expect that there would suddenly be a turn for the better. Ming Yuan had made him look at him in a new light.

“Yes, he’s a newcomer.”

Jiang Tao nodded slightly and said, ” maybe this fire child is more compatible with Ming Yuan. Ming Yuan has a fiery temper. It’s probably not easy to work under him. Give the fire child more money. Increase it to five Shadow Gold.

“Yes!” The people below nodded, showing a bit of envy. They could only get three Shadow Gold a day, and the fire Boy actually received more money than them. But since the supervisor had said so, how could they dare to say anything?

Ming Yuan returned to his alchemy room with satisfaction and glanced at ye chen. that’s all for today’s work. You can go back now. Remember to come on time tomorrow.

Ye chen did not reply. He turned around and left the alchemy room.

Seeing that ye chen did not show any respect to him, Ming Yuan snorted softly but did not say anything. Firstly, he was satisfied with ye Chen’s work. Secondly, he was in a good mood today, so he did not argue with ye chen. He hummed a little song and turned around to leave.

Ye chen walked to the room at the end of the apothecary’s Pavilion. It was the apothecary’s accountant’s room.

A few old men were doing some calculations.

Ye chen gave his name.

“Today, you will receive five Shadow Gold coins.” One of the old men looked down at the account book and said to ye chen.

“Five Shadow Gold coins. How could there be so much?” Ye chen asked doubtfully. It was not that ye chen cared about these five pieces of Twilight Gold, but he was just a little surprised that he had received more money than he had reserved.

“Supervisor Jiang Tao said so. If you have any questions, you can ask him.”

Ye chen thought about it. Perhaps he had done better today, so he had received more. Five pieces of Twilight Gold were indeed a lot to ordinary people but ye chen did not care at all. His main purpose here was not to earn these five pieces of Twilight Gold but to learn the art of alchemy.

However, since there was money to be earned, ye chen still had to take it. After taking five pieces of Twilight Gold, ye chen casually put them in the armguard space and turned to leave.

Not far from ye chen, an old man stood upright. It was the supervisor called Jiang Tao. He happened to pass by and saw ye chen collecting the money. He looked at ye Chen’s back thoughtfully. An average person could only earn one or two Twilight Gold ancient coins a day. Ye chen did not even look excited when he suddenly had a windfall.

He had already investigated ye Chen’s background. Ye chen was the person who had previously caused a commotion with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of 0 and came from the Dongchuan continent.

the moment he came, Mingyuan’s pill refinement success rate rose to such a degree. This young man is very interesting. Jiang Tao muttered to himself for a moment.

After ye chen left the apothecary’s Pavilion, he took out a piece of paper on which the names of more than sixty exotic flowers and fruits were written. These were all the raw materials to refine a tier one origin divine pill. Ye chen was prepared to gather these raw materials and refine an origin divine pill himself.

Ye chen entered a medicinal shop.

“Shopkeeper, do you have these five herbs?” Ye chen asked, ready to search one by one.

“There are three of them.”

alright, three coins each.

Ye chen had visited more than ten medicinal stores in Yanyun sacred city and collected a total of forty or so raw materials. He had spent fifty to sixty thousand Twilight Gold ancient coins but there were still more than twenty raw materials left. He could not find them in any medicinal store and could not find them even after asking around.

Ye chen had no choice but to return to his residence.

Seeing that Gu LAN and Lin Qi were there, ye chen handed them a piece of paper and asked, ” “Big brother Gu LAN, do you know where I can find these medicinal herbs?”

Gu LAN glanced at the prescription ye chen handed over and his expression froze. He looked up at ye chen and said, ” “What do you want to do with these herbs? These herbs are very expensive, and they’re prohibited from being sold.”

“Prohibited from buying and selling? Why?” Ye chen asked in surprise.

these herbs are all ingredients for making a Grade 1 origin divine pill. They are under strict control and ordinary people can’t buy them. If you want to buy these ingredients, you’ll have to be at least a bronze Lord.

“Title of nobility?” Ye chen was puzzled.

“That’s right. On our Tian Yuan continent, the court will grant different titles based on the individual’s contribution to the continent.” Seeing that ye chen did not know, Gu LAN explained it to him in detail.

Originally, the title of nobility was divided into five ranks: copper, silver, gold, purple gold, and pure gold. There were two ways to promote the title of nobility. One was to go to Tianyuan ancient city and make military achievements. The other was to contribute a certain amount of money to the divine dynasty. Only then would the divine dynasty grant you a title of nobility. Moreover, the power of the divine dynasty was limited. It could only grant three titles of nobility, namely copper, silver, and gold. Among them, purple gold and pure gold could only be granted by the Dao court.

It was very difficult to obtain a title of nobility. Even the lowest rank of a copper Lord required at least twenty million Shadow Gold coins, not to mention the higher ranks.

In the entire Yanyun sacred city, there were only a few people who had obtained the bronze rank, and only Qi Yan city Lord had obtained the silver rank.
