The Eternal Saint of Alchemy

"Absolutely true."

The gray-robed elder's hands trembled slightly as he exclaimed excitedly, "This is a high-grade second-rank Condensed Dew Pill formula! I've studied alchemy for thirty years, and this is the first time I've ever seen one! May I ask who your master is, young master?"

Xiao Fan smiled but didn't say anything.

"Our Yun family will contribute 25,000 taels of silver!"

The crowd stirred again.

The price of a single elixir formula is actually higher than that of Jade Marrow Fungus?

Shen Zhao's face darkened.

In the end, Xiao Fan won the bid for the elixir for 22,000 taels of silver. After deducting the commission, he still made a profit of 2,000 taels of silver.

Yun Ruoxi sat to the side, her gaze towards him becoming complicated.

How many secrets are still hidden within him?

After the auction ended, Xiao Fan was about to leave when Shen Zhao stopped him.

"Xiao Fan, don't be so arrogant." Shen Zhao leaned closer and whispered, "Donglin City is a dangerous place; you'll drown."

Xiao Fan glanced at him and said calmly, "Young Master Shen, those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. This is my final advice."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Fan went straight to the alchemy room.

Jade marrow fungus, red essence grass, dried earthworm, snow-seeing flower... more than ten kinds of medicinal materials are lined up in a row.

He was going to refine a top-tier second-grade pill called "Condensed Dew Pill," which could directly raise one's cultivation level without any side effects after consumption.

This elixir formula was created by him in his previous life; it doesn't exist in this world at all.

Xiao Fan opened the Qiankun Creation Cauldron and then placed the medicinal herbs into it again and again.

This time, he did not use an external alchemy furnace, but instead refined the pills in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The cauldron radiated a dazzling golden light, with various medicinal herbs dancing, melting, and fusing within it.

Cold sweat beaded on Xiao Fan's forehead, and his face grew even paler. Even with his fifth-grade Profound Realm cultivation, activating a second-grade pill was still quite a challenge for him.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Half an hour has passed.

An hour has passed.

Three hours later, with a "hum", the lid of the cauldron slowly opened, and six light blue pills floated in the cauldron, emitting a faint fragrance.

Condensed Dew Elixir!

Xiao Fan collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, but a smile appeared on his lips.

Of the six Dew Condensation Pills, one was kept for personal use, while the other five were sold for money or given as rewards to the guards.

He picked one up and swallowed it without hesitation.

As the pill entered his stomach, the gentle spiritual energy, like a spring breeze, instantly spread throughout his body. The spiritual energy flowed slowly through his meridians, becoming even stronger.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Fan opened his eyes.

His cultivation level has reached the sixth rank of the Profound Realm.

His cultivation level has reached a new level.

"At this rate, I can become a master of the Spirit Realm in half a month at most." Xiao Fan clenched his fist, his eyes full of confidence.

When he came out of the alchemy room, the sun was already high in the sky.

Fan Jian walked up to him with a bowl of porridge in his hand: "Young Master, have you not slept all night? Come and eat."

"No rush." ​​Xiao Fan picked up his bowl of porridge, took a few sips, and then asked, "How's Zhao Tieshan and the others' training going lately?"

"Excellent! Two more brothers have been promoted today! The entire training ground is in an uproar, and even the servants in the manor have expressed their desire to practice martial arts."

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "If they have enough pills, let them practice."

Just then, Uncle Yu rushed in: "Young Master, someone outside wants to see you."

"who?"

"A blacksmith named Chen told me that he has completed your order."

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and he strode towards the door.

Uncle Chen stood in front of the door, with a cart covered by a tarpaulin behind him.

Uncle Chen lifted the oilcloth, revealing a pill furnace inside that was as tall as half a person.

This is a black alchemical furnace with intricate carvings. Seven ventilation openings are on the lid, and three copper-colored temperature control valves are embedded in the furnace wall.

Xiao Fan walked over, reached out and touched the alchemy furnace, only to feel a chill.

"What a fine furnace!" he exclaimed sincerely. "Uncle Chen, your craftsmanship is truly superb."

Uncle Chen grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Is that even a question? But don't forget, you can't just let the three hundred taels of silver you owe me go."

"I won't forget it." Xiao Fan slapped the alchemy furnace, turned around and instructed Fan Jian, "Have someone send it to the alchemy room."

Just as Uncle Chen was about to leave, Xiao Fan stopped him: "Uncle Chen, would you be interested in making a big deal?"

"What's wrong?"

"I need a large number of alchemy furnaces. Five hundred taels of silver per furnace, fifty in total."

Uncle Chen's eyes widened: "Fifty? Why do we need so many alchemy furnaces?"

"Open a pill shop." Xiao Fan smiled and said, "I plan to open a pill shop in Donglin City that specializes in selling first and second-grade pills. As the production of pills increases, the number of pill furnaces will also increase."

Uncle Chen was taken aback for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up: "Good lad, good spirit! But I can't take on fifty seats. With my old bones, I can't even take on more than a few in a year."

"Then I'll trouble you. You're very familiar with the blacksmiths in Donglin City. You provide the ideas, I'll provide the blueprints, and you'll get 20% of the profits."

After a moment's hesitation, Uncle Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Let's do it this way!"

After sending Uncle Chen away, Xiao Fan returned to the alchemy room and set up the new alchemy furnace.

The next step is to mass-produce Condensed Dew Pills, open a pill-making workshop, expand our influence, and find out the truth.

Xiao Ming, Sun Xingzhou, and the others were all killed.

He walked to the window, looked at the rising sun in the east, and took a deep breath.

In this life, he is determined to stand at the very top.

The news of the opening of Danfang caused a stir throughout Donglin City.

The reason is nothing more than the owner of the alchemy workshop, Xiao Fan, a good-for-nothing who was once known as the number one playboy in Donglin City.

"Did you know? The eldest son of the Xiao family is going to open a medicinal pill shop!"

"Selling pills? What right does a cripple with a destroyed dantian have to open a shop?"

"That's hard to say. I heard they invited a lot of people today, and the opening ceremony is tomorrow."

In a teahouse on the street, several middle-aged businessmen whispered among themselves, their words filled with a sense of anticipation for a good show.

A young man dressed in a blue robe was sitting at a table; this man was none other than Xiao Ming.

He slammed down his teacup, his face grim and menacing.

"Pharmacist Sun, what exactly is that good-for-nothing thinking?"

Sun Xingzhou, sitting opposite him, also looked puzzled: "I asked around, and Xiao Fan did indeed order a pill furnace and hasn't left the pill room these past few days."

"This guy, can he even refine pills?"

"This..." Sun Xingzhou hesitated, "Theoretically, it's impossible. Alchemy requires spiritual energy, and his dantian was destroyed three years ago, how could he—"

"But he did it!"

Xiao Ming slammed his hand on the table, immediately attracting the attention of those around him.
