Chapter 1310: Drawing Inferences

Heaven-grade!

Heaven-grade!

Still heaven-grade!

Half a year had passed since Ye Yuan went into seclusion, but no matter how he refined, he could not break through to divine-grade!

From heaven-grade to divine-grade was like an insurmountable chasm, no matter how hard Ye Yuan tried, he could not cross it.

Three months ago, Ye Yuan could already consistently refine heaven-grade pills.

But three months had passed, and Ye Yuan had made no progress.

"Senior, I have fully comprehended the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs and thoroughly understood the Lesser Divine Element Array. Why can I still not refine a divine-grade Divine Element Pill?" Ye Yuan asked in confusion.

Wu Chen said, "Divine-grade is not within the ranks. Refining heaven-grade pills can be achieved with effort. But divine-grade depends on one's own insight and fortune! For the same pill, divine-grade is a different realm! To refine a divine-grade divine pill, only through a thousand refinements can one possibly comprehend the Dao. This is the hardest part for you. Three months is too short!"

It could be said that divine-grade was the true test of an alchemist's talent in alchemy!

Without enough talent, no matter how hard one tried, it was impossible to refine a divine-grade pill.

Yet even for an ordinary alchemist with outstanding talent, it was impossible to refine a divine-grade divine pill in three months.

Let alone three months, even three years or thirty years would be impossible!

A flash of insight passed through Ye Yuan's mind, and he said, "So that means divine-grade divine pills fall within the realm of 'Dao'? Like when I refined the Inverse Dao Pill and triggered the resonance of the Heavenly Dao?"

Wu Chen stroked his beard and smiled approvingly, "Correct! The path of alchemy refines physical substances, emphasizing technique over Dao. Thus, it is even harder to touch the ethereal Heavenly Dao!"

Ye Yuan nodded, "I understand!"

With that, Ye Yuan sat cross-legged and stopped refining.

In his mind, he began to recall every detail of his contact with divine pills.

From Wu Chen's explanation of medicinal properties, to comprehending the Lesser Divine Element Array, to forming the pill, and then to the heaven-grade Divine Element Pill.

Every detail along the way, Ye Yuan re-experienced.

After each refinement, Ye Yuan carefully summarized, so he remembered every process vividly.

At this moment, Ye Yuan seemed to return to being a novice, re-experiencing the process of refining the Divine Element Pill.

Gradually, Ye Yuan entered a wondrous state.

At that moment, the medicinal properties of the five spirit herbs seemed to be shattered into countless fragments by Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan immersed himself in this vast ocean of fragments, re-comprehending them.

Then, Ye Yuan reassembled these fragments!

Ye Yuan was already intimately familiar with the medicinal properties of the five spirit herbs.

Now, these fragments continuously constructed new models in his mind.

Construct, overturn; construct again, overturn again!

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, another month had gone by.

Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of insight flashing in them.

Wu Chen's gaze sharpened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You... have comprehended it?"

Ye Yuan smiled and nodded, "I should have comprehended it."

Wu Chen was stunned and blurted out, "This... how is this possible? In just one month, you have comprehended it?"

Wu Chen knew too well how difficult it was to comprehend the divine-grade Divine Element Pill!

Although the Divine Element Pill was the most basic divine pill, its refining difficulty was countless times greater than the Inverse Dao Pill.

Without the accumulation of time, it was impossible to fully comprehend the Divine Element Pill!

Yet, from the time Ye Yuan first encountered the Divine Element Pill until now, less than three months had passed.

Such a speed of progress was terrifying!

Ye Yuan just smiled and began to set up the Lesser Divine Element Array.

This time, his movements were completely different from any before.

With just eight Divine Element Stones, Ye Yuan seemed to transform them into myriad great Daos, appearing extremely profound.

Wu Chen's eyes widened, and he finally confirmed that Ye Yuan was not boasting!

He had truly... comprehended it!

This kind of comprehension was different from other alchemists who stumbled upon refining a divine-grade pill by luck; Ye Yuan truly understood the Dao of the Divine Element Pill.

From now on, when Ye Yuan refined the Divine Element Pill, the probability of achieving divine-grade would definitely be above one percent!

Do not underestimate this half-percent; ordinary alchemists, even extremely skilled one-star Divine Alchemists, had a probability of less than one in a million of refining a divine-grade Divine Element Pill—almost negligible!

Moreover, as Ye Yuan's understanding of the alchemy Dao deepened, this probability would only increase.

The light faded, and a translucent Divine Element Pill appeared before Ye Yuan's eyes.

A divine-grade Divine Element Pill!

"You... you really comprehended it! Prodigy! Such a prodigy! Seven months! You took only seven months to comprehend the divine-grade Divine Element Pill!" Wu Chen said excitedly.

Only then did he realize that he had truly underestimated Ye Yuan.

This guy was born for alchemy!

Solid fundamentals, incredible insight, and terrifying talent—he had created a miracle!

Counting the previous month, Ye Yuan had spent a total of one year and seven months in the Boundary-Steering Stele.

In such a short time, he had refined a divine-grade Divine Element Pill.

This was simply unbelievable!

To think that back then, Immortal Lin Heavenly Lord had taken a hundred years to achieve this step!

The time Ye Yuan took was only one percent of Immortal Lin's!

However, Ye Yuan did not look overly delighted.

Seven months had already passed, and he had only five months left!

Ye Yuan had spent one year and seven months comprehending the Divine Element Pill; what about the more difficult Detoxification Pill?

There was no time to waste!

"Senior, please teach me the method to refine the one-star Detoxification Pill," Ye Yuan said.

Wu Chen nodded, knowing time was pressing, so he quickly composed himself and began to explain the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs.

The Detoxification Pill required seven types of divine-grade spirit herbs, and Wu Chen's explanation lasted ten days and ten nights!

The complexity of these seven spirit herbs far exceeded Ye Yuan's imagination.

Ye Yuan finally understood why the Divine Element Pill was the most basic divine pill.

However, having laid a solid foundation by refining the Divine Element Pill, Ye Yuan was no longer the same person.

Ye Yuan's speed in comprehending the Detoxification Pill was many times faster than that of the Divine Element Pill.

Seeing Ye Yuan's comprehension speed, Wu Chen was dumbfounded.

He had followed Immortal Lin Heavenly Lord across the Tongtian Realm for tens of millions of years and had seen countless geniuses.

But he had never seen anyone with insight reaching Ye Yuan's level.

Ye Yuan's talent in alchemy could only be described as terrifying!

"Drawing inferences! This kid's comprehension is simply incredible. Others, after learning the Divine Element Pill, take even longer to learn other pills, but this kid is getting faster and faster! The Divine Element Pill opened the door to divine pills for him, and now he is on a broad road with limitless prospects! Given time, this kid's achievements in alchemy may not be inferior to Immortal Lin's!" Wu Chen exclaimed with admiration.
