Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 52 Resources
"Fifth-grade Qingling Zhumai Pill, Sixth-grade Huanqi Pill... Why do these pill recipes look familiar?"

The medicinal materials were suspended and refined in the hands of Medicine Master. The configurations of these pills looked more and more strange.

Not only does it have a solid foundation and a wide range of techniques, but many of the additional skills are also quite difficult to operate, and they can be considered as exam questions for upgrading to the fifth level in Danta.

"Could it be that this is a recipe from the Zhongzhou Dan Pagoda?"

But this doesn't explain where that sense of familiarity comes from.

Equalize, fill in the gaps, and refine...

As Yao Lao watched these operations, he felt an inexplicable sense of commonality. If he were compiling a pill recipe, he would choose to do the same.

It was as if the other person and he had the same brain...

"teacher?"

Xiao Yan held the freshly-baked pill and blew on it a few times: "Is this time I considered a proper third-grade alchemist?"

The appearance and medicinal effects are all complete, and the product is of standard difficulty.

No matter how strict you are, you can't deny this, right?

Almost the best has reached the ceiling.

"Okay, okay, you're awesome. Go ahead, try refining a fourth-grade one while you're still feeling good. Maybe you can get a top-grade one."

Yao Lao didn't have the heart to force him to keep focusing on the third-grade death refining. Since he could get full marks, he would just pass it.

The main purpose is to force him to practice more and practice more, either openly or secretly.

There are quite a few test-takers among the alchemists. They can make the pills perfectly by following the recipe step by step, and some can even produce top-quality pills consistently.

But later on...

When the subtle differences in materials begin to affect the pill formation, environmental conditions interfere with refining, soul strength, control, and one's own flame are also factors...

Well, it’s directly useless.

Relying on high control to replicate the pill recipe process will ultimately be inferior. The fundamental thing is to practice more and accumulate experience. These things cannot be taught at all, so you can only practice them silently.

It's a bit like the difference between using mathematical tools and creating mathematical tools.

For people like Yao Lao, if they encounter problems in refining medicine, they will think about it, even if it means temporarily creating a new set of concepts and new techniques, to directly blast the problem away and then move on.

Detour? It's a joke.

I have studied alchemy for decades, only to repeat what others have said?

"That's true...it's a feeling I finally got."

Three flames flashed in Xiao Yan's hands one after another, and his proficiency in changing fire and refining several fires at the same time was almost perfect.

Light the fire and start the furnace, three-patterned green elixir!
"Is it made for the Xiao family?" Yao Lao saw through his thoughts at a glance.

"Correct."

Xiao Yan looked focused. This was the first time he had come across a pill of this level. “Training a group of great fighting masters would be quite useful.”

Great fighting masters are rare in the Jia Ma Empire.

In the empire spanning thousands of miles, there are only about a thousand great fighters. City like Wutan, which is backed by the Monster Mountain Range and rich in resources, is a minority after all. Many small and medium-sized cities only have a few fighters to support them.

The distribution of realms is more like the Eiffel Tower than a pyramid, where the higher you go, the closer to verticality.

Of course, there is also the factor that resources in the imperial capital are over-enriched and the per capita realm is higher.

"What your Xiao family members lack is not just one or two pills, but a suitable environment for growth."

Yao Lao shook his head slightly.

In terms of talent, not many people in the entire northwest corner of the continent have reached the limit of their potential.

Resources, this knife has killed countless young men with potential.

Take the example of Qi Ju San, it is shocking enough.

In order to reduce the number of failures in condensing Dou Qi, Dou Qi practitioners seek stability rather than success. If there is a Qi Gathering Powder as a backup, the Xiao family can pick a child with decent talent and focus on training, and use all kinds of resources without having to consider whether he can break through to Dou Zhe.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was promoted to the ninth level, took Qi Gathering Powder to become a Fighter, then sold all his belongings to buy some elixirs, and he could become a three or four-star Fighter that year.

Afterwards, he entered Canaan College to practice, with more abundant resources to support him. Even if his potential was not good enough, it would not be a problem for him to reach the level of a high-level fighting master.

Return with glory and dominate the city. If you can advance to Douling in your later years, you can use the resources you have gathered to send more juniors to the imperial capital or Canaan for training...

The imperial capital can add a new family.

A fourth-grade coin, it is no exaggeration to say that it can change one's destiny.

The reason for resource limitation is that the main thing between a fighter and a fighter emperor is the accumulation of fighting spirit.

All qualitative changes are just simple accumulation of quantity.

Those who have the resources can skip it directly, but those who don’t have can only waste their precious time and talent potential to slowly hone their skills.

The higher your realm, the more resources you can get, and the more time and potential you can save, which can be used to help you break through the realm and reach higher.

The realm distribution does not conform to the pyramid.

"But the Xiao family only has a place to stay in the Jia Ma Empire. If they go somewhere else, they might be exterminated one day."

How could Xiao Yan never thought about relocating?
However, the Soul Palace's tentacles have spread outward from Zhongzhou, and the entire northwest corner of the continent has been almost eroded, and only the Gama Empire has just begun.

What's more, the situation in other parts of the Douqi Continent is still unclear. Even if it is a pure land, he is currently unable to organize a migration across a million miles.

"That makes sense. If you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to gain a foothold in other places."

Yao Lao obviously had a different understanding: "Your decision to prioritize improving your strength is correct... add a dose of 'Golden Sun Crusher'."

"Huh? Oh, okay!"

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then immediately threw it in: "Teacher, doesn't the Golden Sun Piece release the medicinal power instantly? Even some great Dou Masters can't eat the three-patterned green spirit pill made in this way, right?"

"Practice it first, and then I'll explain it to you."

Yao Lao continued to give instructions, and when he saw Xiao Yan's precise and quick execution of the operation, he nodded in satisfaction:

"Add some Gastrodia leaves and Green Thorn Grass before forming the pill... With these herbs, it should be enough."

"These medicinal materials..."

Xiao Yan wiped the sweat from his head. Although he was a little hesitant, he still boldly expressed his guess: "Is it to give Qingling Pill another chance to be used?"

Teng!
Yao Lao's hand was unsteady and the flame almost burned the roof.

"How did you figure that out?"

I was originally planning to explain it slowly, but I didn't expect that Xiao Yan would guess it so easily. Doesn't Master Yao have any face?
I guessed it right. It seems that all my learning was not in vain.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was just luck. I compared the ingredients of Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill and Green Spirit Pill before, and now I am just guessing based on the medicinal properties. I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

Just a blind guess and happened to guess it right?
Yao Laokong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. If you are really lucky, a wife will fall from the sky for you!

I wonder how many alchemists will be mad at the word "lucky".

For some reason he suddenly missed Han Feng. Although he was a purebred beast, he was still a normal person within common sense.

　In the original novel, Nalan's realm is very abstract.

　　It is said that Xiao Yan started practicing earlier than others, so she started at the age of 5. When Xiao Yan was promoted to a fighter at the age of 6, she was at the eighth level, which means she was at the eighth level in years.

　　Assuming it took the next two years (what a piece of crap), you should be a level 13 fighter. The fighter class practices so fast that you can't even recognize it. Three or four stars in a year is no problem at all. If your potential is not exhausted, you can meditate for a year to break through one or two stars to the great fighter realm.

　　Therefore, the book sets up that Nalan did not eat the elixir, so the time was delayed.

　　Otherwise...Nalan is a bit too useless.

　　This progress is only one or two years faster than Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei (with the Qi Gathering Powder, reaching the ninth stage is no different from reaching the Fighter level.)
