Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"I'll definitely find you plenty of high-grade medicinal herbs!"

Xiao Yan was still thinking about how to repay Xiao Yang, and now that Xiao Yang needed high-grade medicinal herbs, he would naturally keep an eye out for them.

He decided that he would definitely help Xiao Yang find more high-grade medicinal herbs in the future.

Soon, Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin returned with breakfast.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan also left.

He planned to go to the Mittel auction house to buy some medicinal herbs and a medicine cauldron.

Now that he has broken through to the Dou Zhe level, he can begin to learn alchemy.

Xiao Yan was really looking forward to it.

After finishing his breakfast, Xiao Yang practiced the Soul Nurturing Technique for a while. Once he had recovered his soul power, he continued refining pills.

Because he received the reward of the puppet given to the old medicine master, Xiao Yang's intermediate alchemy talent has now reached 7/10.

In other words, the difficulty of his alchemy task has decreased by 60% compared to the beginning!

He now only needs to refine forty Grade 3 pills to complete a Grade 3 pill proficiency task and receive a proficiency reward.

His mission also changed.

The original fifty coins were reduced to forty.

Xiao Yang finished refining them last night, and only a dozen or so remain to complete the mission.

Now, only five are left to complete the mission.

Without hesitation, he immediately began refining the Qi-restoring pills.

He can refine three Qi-restoring pills in one batch.

With just two furnaces, Xiao Yang completed the task.

[Task: Refine forty Grade 3 pills. Reward: Grade 3 Pill Proficiency +1, one Earth Attribute Tier 5 Magic Core. Completed. Claim reward?]

He now only starts doing pill-making proficiency quests after he gets the magic core reward.

Sometimes it's medicinal herbs or the essence of monsters.

However, the fifth-tier magic core still offers the best value for money.

Xiao Yang would create and delete items repeatedly to maximize his chances of getting the best rewards.

Without hesitation, he accepted the reward.

The next moment, a large amount of alchemy experience for third-grade pills flowed into Xiao Yang's mind.

Another system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Raise your proficiency in Grade 3 pills to Perfection. Rewards: "Complete Collection of Grade 4 Pill Recipes", Pill Refining Technique Proficiency +3, Intermediate Pill Refining Talent +3, 100 Recipes for the Herb Garden, Double the Time Flow Rate in the Herb Garden Space. Completed. Claim reward?]

He didn't bother to claim the reward; instead, he focused on processing the insights he had gained.

As time passed, Xiao Yang quickly digested his insights.

He looked at his mission reward, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

I've finally obtained the complete collection of Grade 4 pill formulas!

He's almost ready to start trying to refine fourth-grade pills.

However, he did not claim the reward immediately.

Because his alchemy skills had already reached the minor mastery level of 7/10.

After receiving this, Xiao Yang's alchemy skills will also reach a high level of mastery.

Alchemy skills cannot be improved simply by having a high level of proficiency in alchemy.

If Xiao Yang wants to improve himself, he needs to create his own unique alchemy technique.

However, this is a huge waste of time.

Therefore, it's more efficient to improve your alchemy proficiency and use that to create quests and earn rewards.

[Task: Raise your alchemy skills to Mastery. Reward: Alchemy Technique "Alchemy Fusion Method".]

Looking at the mission rewards, Xiao Yang was somewhat bewildered.

What he obtained before was the Fusion Elixir Technique, which has a similar name.

The Fusion Elixir Technique has a simple function: it reduces the consumption of battle qi and soul power while achieving the same effect.

As Xiao Yang's proficiency with the Fusion Pill Technique improved, he could now even use it in combat skills and soul skills.

When he uses his fighting skills, he uses less fighting spirit, but the power remains the same.

This greatly increases its battery life.

It remains to be seen what surprises this alchemy technique will bring him.

Without hesitation, he accepted the reward.

The next moment, a large number of insights into alchemy techniques flooded into Xiao Yang's mind.

The system notification sounded in his mind again.

[Task: Raise your alchemy skills to Mastery. Reward: Alchemy Technique "Alchemy Fusion Method". Completed. Claim reward?]

Chapter 164 The Art of Alchemy

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and quickly claimed the reward.

At this moment, there are many scrolls in his system space.

Among them are the complete collection of four-grade elixir formulas and the method of fusion elixir.

In addition, there are scrolls about spirit weapon masters.

He hasn't seen any of these yet.

Last night, I was in a hurry to raise my proficiency in Grade 3 pills to perfection.

Therefore, Xiao Yang only glanced through the basics of spirit weapon mastery.

After he finished condensing the soul fire, he began refining pills.

After all, his current specialty is alchemy.

The legacy of the Spirit Weapon Master is merely a supplement.

Good materials are also relatively scarce on the Dou Qi Continent.

Many of these materials are unique to this world.

Dou Qi Continent is merely a small world.

With a thought, a scroll appeared in Xiao Yang's hand.

It was the "Method of Alchemy" that he had just acquired.

He stuck the scroll directly to his forehead and poured his soul power into it.

The next moment, a flood of information rushed into Xiao Yang's mind.

The Fusion Elixir Method is a special alchemy technique.

In fact, many advanced alchemists have their own unique alchemy techniques.

For example, the Spirit Ascension Technique of the Medicine Master.

He can use the Spirit-Pregnancy Powder to enhance the grade of elixirs through special secret methods.

As the grade of the elixir is increased, its potency will also increase.

However, the dust from the pregnant spirit is extremely rare.

This thing can even be used to enhance soul power, allowing people to break through to the spiritual realm.

Therefore, it is extremely precious.

Many other alchemists also possess such secret techniques.

These are their unique secret techniques, which they at most pass on to their own disciples.

What Xiao Yang has now obtained is a unique alchemy technique.

It can be considered a kind of secret technique.

Soon, Xiao Yang had digested the general information about the Fusion Pill Technique.

In his view, the Alchemy Fusion Technique was extremely powerful.

Its function is very simple: it can double the potency of the elixir.

Yes, it can directly double the potency of the medicine!

However, the cost is also considerable.

To refine a pill with double the potency, you need three medicinal ingredients!

These three medicinal herbs need to be refined together.

Next, during the elixir-making process, the three medicinal ingredients are combined together.

Three medicinal ingredients are combined to create a pill with double the potency.

On the surface, it does seem like a huge waste, with extremely low cost-effectiveness.

After all, three portions of medicinal herbs could potentially be used to refine three portions of pills.

However, at present, only one pill with double the medicinal power can be refined.

Moreover, pills refined using this method are much more difficult to refine than pills made normally.

If it fails, three portions of medicinal herbs will be destroyed.

Destroying the medicinal herbs is bad enough, but the most terrifying thing is an explosion in the furnace.

The energy blaster containing three medicinal herbs is incredibly powerful.

However, for Xiao Yang, who possesses the Soul Flame, the difficulty is about the same as refining ordinary medicinal herbs.
