Avoiding the monitoring array and passing through the wall with one's divine sense is only the first step.

Next, Zhang Lingshan would send his divine sense into the corridor, through each door, avoiding the array patterns on the doors, and then learn everyone's alchemy techniques.

In short, his divine sense will permeate all four levels of the Alchemy Pavilion, then enter the third level, then the fifth level, and finally spread throughout the entire Alchemy Pavilion until there are no secrets left in the entire Alchemy Pavilion before him.

"Brother Lingshan, today is just a small exchange meeting. Don't rush to leave later, the others will come here with us."

On this day, Huo Ran suddenly reminded him.

Zhang Lingshan nodded.

soon.

After the two finished refining the pills, they waited for less than half an hour before someone knocked on the door.

Then, one after another, people arrived.

There are four people in total.

One had messy blond hair, another had bulging facial muscles, one was bald, and the third was dressed in fine clothes and looked more like an ordinary wealthy man than an alchemist.

Zhang Lingshan greeted them one by one with a bow.

"Huo Ran, you said you'd give us a surprise this time. What's the surprise?"

The bald man didn't even glance at Zhang Lingshan before asking directly.

The muscular-faced man snorted and asked, "Who is this person, and why is he allowed to stay here?"

"Zhang Lingshan, a silver-ranked alchemist, how could he enter our fifth floor and stay here? Could it be..."

The wealthy man pondered for a moment, then said, "Old Huo, I've heard that you're currently refining only mid-grade Pure Lotus Pills, yet you haven't been able to advance them to jade tablets. This shows it's not solely your achievement. Could it be because of him?"

"Haha."

He burst into laughter and said, "Old Zhao is indeed well-informed, even knowing this. That's right. This Zhang Lingshan alchemist is my good brother and a great partner. Without him, how could I have refined the mid-grade Pure Lotus Pill? Don't think he's nothing special just because he only has a silver medal. Let me tell you, four years ago, he was just a fire boy, and I borrowed him from the weapon refining pavilion."

"what?!"

All four of them were taken aback, including the one with messy blond hair who hadn't spoken until now, who also looked at Zhang Lingshan with a shocked expression.

In less than four years, he rose from a lowly fire-tending boy in the weapon-refining pavilion to a silver-level alchemist.

What did this kid transform into?
Unbelievable!

It's worth noting that it took at least two hundred years for each of them to be promoted to silver medal.

How can this guy be so fast?

Is he a born alchemy prodigy?

It's truly enviable, and makes one jealous and resentful.

The four stared at Zhang Lingshan for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

The muscular man quickly cupped his hands and said, "The younger generation surpasses the older generation, Master Zhang. My apologies for my rudeness earlier. Please forgive me."

"It's alright."

Zhang Lingshan waved his hand.

The other three also greeted him in turn. They had previously looked down on Zhang Lingshan and had ignored his greetings.

At this moment, they all took the initiative to return the courtesy, not only because Zhang Lingshan's promotion to silver medal was fast enough, but also because Zhang Lingshan could help Huo Ran refine mid-grade Pure Lotus Pills.

Even a fool knows how significant the Pure Lotus Pill is, and since Zhang Lingshan was able to help Huo Ran refine a mid-grade Pure Lotus Pill, he will definitely be able to refine it himself after he is promoted to a gold-level pill.

This is a future Pure Lotus Alchemist, and he is exceptionally talented with a bright future.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Huo Ran and Zhang Lingshan's positions are reversed, and it will be Huo Ran's turn to be Zhang Lingshan's assistant.

"Haha."

Huo Ran laughed and said, "Let's not stand on ceremony. We've come here today to exchange pills. It just so happens that we brothers from Lingshan have been advancing step by step from the first level, and we have all kinds of pills left over from each level. Let's exchange them quickly, or we'll miss this opportunity if someone else takes them."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The muscular man nodded repeatedly, took out a small porcelain bottle, and said, "Master Zhang, please examine the pills first. These are mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pills that I refined. They can be exchanged for Master Zhang's White Jade Pills on a one-to-one basis. I will exchange as many as you have."

His eyes were bright, and he immediately saw that Zhang Lingshan was only at the Void Immortal realm and had cultivated True Immortal techniques, which was exactly when he needed Immortal Spirit Pills to improve his cultivation. So he directly took out a mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pill.

"One to one?"

Zhang Lingshan was secretly surprised and couldn't help but ask a question.

This White Jade Pill is garbage; it's a low-level pill of the second tier. How can it be exchanged one-to-one with a mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pill? It's simply a joke.

Even if they didn't bring their own White Jade Pills today, they could ask the steward to help them exchange them down below. Even if the steward takes a cut, one mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pill could still be exchanged for at least ten White Jade Pills.

result.

Here, it's a one-to-one ratio.

This is clearly a marketing ploy.

My identity as a future Pure Lotus Alchemist is indeed very useful.

"Of course it's one to one, everything here is one to one."

The muscular man chuckled and said, "Master Zhang, don't think you've gotten a good deal. Actually, I've gotten a good deal. If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have been able to exchange for this Jade Pill."

"I see."

Zhang Lingshan showed a look of sudden realization, and then happily gave all the white jade pills to this person.

It would be foolish not to accept the benefits offered.

But he didn't quite understand why this person was trying to please him.

Even if I could refine the Pure Lotus Pill, it is a pill that must be handed over to the authorities. I cannot keep it to exchange with them. So what is the point of them trying to please me?
But soon.

Zhang Lingshan found out.

Just after he had exchanged all those low-grade pills for mid-grade immortal spirit pills with the others, he suddenly said, "The pill exchange is over, so let's stick to the old rules and start exchanging our alchemy techniques. That's the greatest significance of our little exchange meeting."

That's all.

He looked at Zhang Lingshan and said, "Brother Lingshan, you're new here, so show me what you've got. I only know you can help me improve the quality of the Pure Lotus Pill, but I've never seen you refine pills yourself before. I'm very curious, what's the secret to your rapid advancement to a silver-level alchemist?"

"Old Huo, you're mistaken. We alchemists all have our own unique skills; how can we pry into other people's secrets? What we're exchanging isn't secrets, but rather our respective understandings of alchemy. So, Alchemist Zhang, just refine something casually and let us take a look. We'll also refine some pills for you to see later; it's a way for us to exchange ideas."

The middle-aged man, surnamed Zhao, dressed like a wealthy man, said.

Zhang Lingshan smiled and said, "I would also like to exchange ideas on alchemy with you all, so let's begin."

That's all.

He walked to the alchemy furnace, released water-based flames, and began refining pills.

What he displayed to Huo Ran was water-based flames, which was essentially his signature skill. Therefore, refining water-based pills was the only way he could showcase his abilities.

If you are the first to do something and keep it to yourself, others will feel resentful when they see it, and they will definitely keep it to themselves as well.

However, Zhang Lingshan really wanted to record and learn their alchemy techniques, so he made no attempt to hide it and began refining pills very openly.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

When the Water Cloud Pills released their fragrance, officially producing fifteen full pills, everyone was stunned, including Huo Ran. "Fifteen full pills!"

"This is one of the most difficult pills to refine among the four levels, yet it was refined so smoothly."

"As expected of a genius alchemist who can improve the quality of the Pure Lotus Pill, his control over water-based flames is simply unparalleled. Refining water-based pills is a piece of cake for him."

"After seeing Master Zhang's alchemy, I felt that my alchemy skills were so crude that I was embarrassed to show off in front of Master Zhang."

The muscular man offered a compliment, then stood up and said, "Although I'm sorry, Master Zhang has already shown his true skills. If I were to keep them hidden, wouldn't I be ridiculed? So, I will now refine it myself, and I would appreciate Master Zhang's guidance."

"I wouldn't call it guidance; I'm merely offering a starting point. You are all top-tier alchemists, and your alchemy skills are a hundred times better than mine. It is my honor, Zhang Lingshan, to witness your alchemy skills."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting.

"Master Zhang Dan has real skills but is not arrogant, and is so humble. He is truly a role model for us."

The muscular-faced man praised again.

Zhang Lingshan was speechless.

These people are really good at praising themselves. No matter how skilled they are, they're just a silver-level alchemist.

If you really think you're far superior to these top-tier alchemists, then you're the one who's foolish and lacks self-awareness.

as predicted.

Seeing the creation of the muscular face, Zhang Lingshan realized what it meant to judge a book by its cover.

This guy had a face full of scars, looked very rugged, and with thick hair and big bones, he seemed like an extremely careless person.

However, his refining technique was incredibly delicate, even more so than that of a seamstress sewing clothes. His hands and his appearance were completely opposite.

Zhang Lingshan watched intently, greedily recording and learning his alchemy techniques.

Although, as the wealthy man surnamed Zhao said, everyone has secrets, and no one would reveal their secret alchemy techniques.

Even so, the level of skill that everyone casually displayed was enough for Zhang Lingshan to learn seriously and benefit greatly.

'Fifteen pills, all fully formed!'

Before the pills were even finished, Zhang Lingshan's divine sense penetrated the furnace and sensed them. He couldn't help but secretly admire him, thinking that no one was an ordinary person.

If you can refine a full-strength pill, others can too.

Next.

The others, including Huo Ran, also displayed their respective skills, all of which were at full strength.

However, the pills that everyone refined were different.

It is evident that everyone was refining the pills they were most skilled at, which is why they were able to achieve a perfect pill.

It's the same principle as Zhang Lingshan refining the water-based elixir, the Water Cloud Pill.

"Hahaha."

The wealthy man surnamed Zhao laughed loudly, "This alchemy exchange was truly delightful. We must thank Alchemist Zhang for first demonstrating his skill in refining perfect pills; otherwise, would everyone have been so open-minded and worked together to refine perfect pills?"

“Excellent. Old Huo, inviting Master Zhang Dan this time is the best thing you’ve done in all these years of the exchange meeting.”

"Next time, it will still be just the few of us. Master Zhang, please don't refuse."

"Definitely, definitely. Following in your footsteps has been very beneficial to me. We must get together again another day."

Zhang Lingshan also smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Then, everyone left with some lingering interest, and Zhang Lingshan returned to his fourth floor.

Today, I will no longer refine elixirs.

It wasn't because we had refined enough, but because we had a bumper harvest of mid-grade immortal pills.

With so many mid-grade immortal pills, why not quickly refine them and convert them into cultivation power?
No matter how skilled one is at alchemy or how powerful one's spiritual sense is, nothing brings as much sense of security as an improvement in one's cultivation.

'wrong.'

As Zhang Lingshan began refining the mid-grade immortal pill, he couldn't help but frown.

The experience points gained have decreased.

Previously, when refining a mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pill at the Void Immortal realm, one pill cost 2000 zi.

But now, even 100 are not enough.

The gap is just too big.

It is because only those at the True Immortal realm have truly integrated into the Immortal Realm, resulting in a qualitative change. Everything within their bodies is completely different, thus increasing their requirements for Immortal Elixir.

No wonder Huo Ran and the others, as top-tier alchemists, could refine mid-grade immortal pills every day, yet they were still only at the True Immortal realm, not even reaching the late True Immortal stage.

That's probably why.

'One coin costs 100 coins, so I'd need over ten thousand to break through to the second level of the Myriad Laws True Scripture. How long would that take?'

Zhang Lingshan sighed inwardly.

I thought that after refining all the mid-grade immortal pills I had exchanged, I could at least reach the mid-stage of the True Immortal realm, if not break through to the Profound Immortal realm.

But to their surprise, it was all for naught.

But it can't be said that it was all for naught.

As Zhang Lingshan refined one mid-grade immortal spirit pill after another, he could clearly feel that his body was becoming more full, and the speed at which he absorbed the sparse immortal spiritual energy between heaven and earth also increased.

It is evident that even the slightest improvement in the True Immortal realm will bring considerable progress to the body.

If breaking through to the True Immortal realm means truly integrating into the Immortal Realm, then each step of improvement allows you to integrate even more closely with the Immortal Realm—a qualitative leap within a qualitative leap.

"This slight improvement makes a huge difference. Therefore, it's practically impossible for someone at the True Immortal level to kill someone at the Profound Immortal level; the gap is too large, they're not even in the same league."

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

I thought that after breaking through to the True Immortal realm, I would have a certain ability to protect myself.

But now he knows that he probably can't even defeat a late-stage True Immortal or even a mid-stage True Immortal.

As one continues to improve, the effectiveness of the mid-grade immortal pill will definitely decrease.

This can be considered as developing resistance to the elixir.

The only consolation is that, with the control panel, the portion of the mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pill's medicinal power that isn't used to convert into experience points for the Myriad Laws True Scripture will be converted into energy points and stored.

Once others develop resistance to the pills, those that weren't used are simply wasted.

Even so, as one's strength increases, it is not easy to break through to the Profound Immortal realm with a large number of mid-grade immortal pills.

and so.

The best way is to advance to the Jade Token Alchemist level and refine high-grade Immortal Elixir for consumption, the effects of which will definitely be ten times stronger than those of mid-grade Immortal Elixir.

"Once you've mastered all the alchemists' techniques on the fourth floor, you can advance to the gold rank."

Zhang Lingshan secretly made up his mind. (End of this chapter)
