Chapter 234: Three Talents Reincarnation Art!

The duty disciple swiped Ye Yuan's identity token while laughing, "Haha, you've only been in the sect for a few days, how many points could you..."

The rest of the duty disciple's words were stuck in his throat.

One million one hundred thirty thousand one hundred points?

He read it several times before confirming he wasn't mistaken.

How... how... could... there be... so many? The duty disciple's eyes bulged, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Can I go in now? Hmm, two days will do. Thank you, senior apprentice brother." Ye Yuan naturally wouldn't explain where the points came from.

The duty disciple mechanically swiped six hundred points for Ye Yuan, then woodenly watched him walk in.

Since joining the sect, he had never seen so many points. The visual impact was overwhelming.

One million one hundred thousand points—how many second-grade pills would he have to refine to exchange for that?

The duty disciple couldn't help but start calculating in his mind...

Ye Yuan wanted a third-grade alchemy room, naturally to refine third-grade pills.

He could only refine a few third-grade pills now, basically only lower third-grade pills, but that was enough.

Demon Crystal Pill was a lower third-grade pill!

He had promised Yuan Fei the Demon Crystal Pill back then, and now he could refine it, a full ten months earlier than the agreed time!

The herbs for the Demon Crystal Pill were not rare among third-grade herbs; Yuan Fei had long prepared them, only waiting for Ye Yuan to become a Grand Alchemist.

Ye Yuan formed a hand seal, and Yuan Fei appeared.

Seeing he was in an alchemy room, Yuan Fei was quite puzzled.

"Young master, this is?"

"Yuan Fei, you've followed me through life and death all this time, and I've always kept it in mind. Now it's time to repay you." Ye Yuan smiled.

Yuan Fei quickly caught on and exclaimed joyfully, "Young master, you mean... the Demon Crystal Pill?"

"That's right."

"But young master, you're only..."

Seeing Ye Yuan's cultivation level, Yuan Fei didn't dare continue. How could an Alchemist refine a third-grade pill?

"Only an Alchemist, you mean? Haha, do you think I called you out just to amuse you?" Ye Yuan laughed.

"Yuan Fei wouldn't dare!"

"I originally thought I'd need to reach the late Spirit Liquid stage to have the soul power of a high-level Grand Alchemist, so I promised you a year. But now I already have that soul power, so naturally I don't need to wait that long."

Yuan Fei was overjoyed. "Young master has such strength!"

Ye Yuan nodded. "Of course! Though it's a bit strenuous, refining the Demon Crystal Pill should be no problem."

What Ye Yuan meant by strenuous was actually insufficient primal energy.

Refining a third-grade pill naturally consumed much more of an alchemist's primal energy. If Ye Yuan had late Spirit Liquid strength, it would be much easier.

In fact, Ye Yuan's primal energy now rivaled an ordinary late Spirit Liquid cultivator, but the consumption of a third-grade pill was far beyond that of a second-grade pill, hence the difficulty.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Yuan Fei trembled with excitement.

He had given up the dignity of an ape king and willingly became Ye Yuan's servant—wasn't it for this day? Now Ye Yuan had fulfilled his first promise so quickly; how could he not be excited?

"Yuan Fei thanks the young master!"

"Haha, I know you still have doubts, so wait until I refine the pill before thanking me."

Ye Yuan took out herbs from his storage ring and began arranging them on the workbench.

Refining a third-grade pill was not as easy as a second-grade pill; otherwise, Grand Alchemists wouldn't be so rare.

To refine a third-grade pill, the minimum requirement was soul power at the level of a Grand Alchemist!

Only someone as extraordinary as Ye Yuan could compensate for insufficient soul power with refining techniques.

But mastering the technique alone wasn't enough to make up for the deficiency.

Ye Yuan had trained his refining techniques to the legendary level, enabling him to accomplish this impossible task!

Cross-grade pill refining was far more difficult than cross-grade combat!

Many martial artists could fight across grades, but there was probably no one in the Boundless Realm who could refine pills across grades!

Perhaps some alchemy prodigies with strong soul power could cross minor realms, but crossing major realms to refine pills was nearly impossible!

Not just in the Boundless Realm, even in the Divine Realm, those who could cross grades in pill refining were few and far between.

Another issue was primal energy. The higher the grade of the pill, the more primal energy it consumed. Without sufficient primal energy reserves, one couldn't sustain the refining process.

Only by reaching the legendary level in refining techniques could one minimize primal energy consumption and accomplish this near-impossible feat.

Cross-grade refining of a third-grade pill was a huge challenge for Ye Yuan, so he spent a quarter of an hour entering a meditative state.

Only after fully achieving a state of心如止水 (mind like still water) did he begin preparations.

Mixing the herbs and extracting the herbal base—Ye Yuan's preparations were quickly done.

But this time, his preparations were different; he didn't divide the herbs into two portions.

If Nanfeng Ruoqing were here, she would be shocked: Are you refining a third-grade pill without using the Yin-Yang Split Flow Technique?

Ye Yuan indeed had no intention of using the Yin-Yang Split Flow Technique!

Approaching the cauldron, Ye Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly flicked a flame from his finger, enveloping the herbal base.

It was the Nether Sandal Sacred Flame!

Ye Yuan pushed the Nether Sandal Sacred Flame to the peak of the second grade, far superior to the alchemy room's fire source.

Step one: Purification!

The extraction of the herbal base was only a rough refinement; the herbs still contained various residual impurities that needed to be burned away!

In this step, the Nether Sandal Sacred Flame had an inherent advantage—its attribute was purification!

For this reason, the Nether Sandal Sacred Flame was one of the favorite primal flames of alchemists.

Ye Yuan's hands moved like phantoms, and the flame danced with his movements.

After a moment, Ye Yuan's hands separated and pressed down.

With a "boom," the entire cauldron ignited, and the formal refining began!

"Three Talents Reincarnation Art! Activate!"

Ye Yuan shouted softly, and the flames in the cauldron surged instantly!

At the same time, Ye Yuan's figure vanished on the spot, leaving only an afterimage!

Seeing this, Yuan Fei's eyes narrowed.

Though he didn't understand alchemy, he had been present when Ye Hang refined pills, and it hadn't been so spectacular.

Both were refining third-grade pills, but the commotion was too great!

With Yuan Fei's eyesight, he could naturally see Ye Yuan's movements.

Although Ye Yuan moved extremely fast, almost circling the cauldron, Yuan Fei saw clearly that Ye Yuan only paused briefly at three points around the cauldron!

And each time he paused, he formed extremely profound hand seals, injecting primal energy into the cauldron.

"The young master's alchemy skills are far superior to his father's! I can't believe he's only fifteen. How did he train?" Yuan Fei marveled.
