Chapter 2537: A One-Point Heavenly Alchemist!

The Dao fire gradually subsided, and the hall fell into a dead silence.

In Ye Yuan's palm, a nearly transparent paste-like Dragon Bone Grass stunned everyone.

The more refined it was, the fewer impurities it contained.

These two clumps of Dragon Bone Grass placed together no longer needed any judgment.

It was precisely because of this that these people were deeply shaken.

"I... am I seeing things? He... he really has one-point affinity?"

"Exactly! With one-point affinity, how did he do it? Did he break the barrier of a Heavenly Alchemist?"

"This clump of Dragon Bone Grass is pure to the extreme; I'm afraid even if Master Lin made a move, he might not be able to compare!"

...

Tang Yu stood by the side, completely dumbfounded.

This move was truly too stunning!

One point was a disgrace among Heavenly Alchemists.

But Ye Yuan made it radiate dazzling brilliance!

Ye Yuan had truly done it!

He had rewritten history!

What had he done in these eighteen years?

The Second Prince had originally come to witness this bet with a playful attitude.

But now, he was rendered speechless by Ye Yuan's shock.

His perception would not be wrong; Ye Yuan's affinity would definitely not exceed three points!

But he had really done it!

Only now did he realize that Ye Yuan was not living in his own world at all.

He truly could ignore Gu Mao's provocation!

With one point, he had refined Dragon Bone Grass.

This was a miracle!

"Ha... haha, Master Ye's skill truly opens my eyes! I never expected that Master Ye could refine Dragon Bone Grass with one-point affinity. This is truly unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated!" The Second Prince laughed dryly, trying to dissolve the previous awkwardness.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "So, there's no need for judgment?"

The Second Prince waved his hand repeatedly, "No need for judgment, no need for judgment! Naturally, Master Ye has won this bet! I am just very curious: since Master Ye's affinity is extremely poor, how did you manage to refine this Dragon Bone Grass? Could it be that Master Ye has some secret method?"

As soon as he said this, everyone pricked up their ears.

This secret method was definitely an earth-shattering secret!

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "There is no secret method! Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear. In these eighteen years, I have refined hundreds of thousands of Dragon Bone Grass plants, training it into instinct. That's all."

"Hu... hundreds of thousands of Dragon Bone Grass! My god, is he crazy?"

"In eighteen years, he only did this one thing? With that quantity, did he never rest?"

"Madman! He's truly a madman! But even if he refined Dragon Bone Grass, he can't become a Heavenly Alchemist! Dragon Bone Grass is just the most basic lesson!"

"This guy is a paranoid! To win the bet, he drove himself crazy! But it's useless! Some heavenly medicines are a thousand or ten thousand times more complex than Dragon Bone Grass; he can't train like this for every kind!"

...

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone gasped.

The Dragon Bone Grass Ye Yuan had refined in these eighteen years probably equaled the total amount they had refined in eighteen hundred years.

This kind of madness and monotony was enough to make them despair just thinking about it.

Alchemy is a very interesting cultivation, but also a very monotonous one.

Life needs variety, and alchemists need it even more.

But Ye Yuan was completely a madman.

Gu Mao sneered upon hearing Ye Yuan's words, "Even if you win this bet, so what? Heh, other heavenly medicines are far more complex than Dragon Bone Grass, and refining heavenly pills is countless times more complicated! If you want to learn one kind of heavenly pill, you would need thousands or even tens of thousands of years! And that's still the simplest heavenly pill! Heh, a waste is ultimately a waste!"

Ye Yuan looked at Gu Mao and said calmly, "I think you are overthinking it! For some things, once you find the trick, you can understand by analogy. Yes, my affinity is indeed very poor, but now I have found the trick! It's like a blind mortal, whose hearing is often very sharp. With training, one can develop the ability to discern position by hearing. In refining other heavenly medicines, I am indeed inherently far inferior to you, but that doesn't mean I can't become a Heavenly Alchemist!"

With that, he lifted his palm, and a Purple Condensing Fragrance appeared in his hand.

The flame in his hand flickered again, and the Purple Condensing Fragrance gradually melted, eventually turning into a paste as well.

The paste-like Purple Condensing Fragrance appeared purple-black, obviously not very pure.

But compared to the first time Ye Yuan refined Dragon Bone Grass, it was countless times better!

Seeing this, Gu Mao's eyes went wide.

Refining Purple Condensing Fragrance was much harder than Dragon Bone Grass; logically, Ye Yuan would need at least another twenty or even thirty years to refine it.

But the Purple Condensing Fragrance Ye Yuan had now refined could already compare to that of an ordinary apprentice.

In at most three years, he could reach the level of Dragon Bone Grass!

Calculating this way, didn't Ye Yuan really have hope of becoming a Heavenly Alchemist?

It was a bit slow, but so what?

As long as he could refine heavenly pills, that was enough!

A one-point affinity Heavenly Alchemist?

Everyone looked at each other, instantly plunged into deep shock.

If this matter spread, it would definitely be a sensation that shook the entire alchemy world!

A Heavenly Alchemist—even twenty-nine points of affinity wouldn't do.

This was an iron law, never broken by anyone!

But now, a one-point Heavenly Alchemist had appeared!

How could this not be shocking?

The Second Prince was also astonished, "Wh... what kind of trick can make a one-point affinity person a Heavenly Alchemist!"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Instinct! When alchemy becomes your instinct, even in chaos, you can still discern direction! In these eighteen years, I have been training this instinct! In fact, I could have reached Gu Mao's level a few years ago, but the instinct was not strong enough! Even now, I am still not very satisfied. Perhaps one day, I can easily distinguish heavenly medicines by instinct, who knows!"

Everyone's mouths fell open, faces full of shock.

Making alchemy an instinct!

What is instinct?

It is an innate ability of humans!

For example, when you see something sharp, you instinctively dodge.

For example, when you see something beautiful, you instinctively want to possess it.

For example, when you lose friends or family, you instinctively feel unbearable pain.

But never had anyone heard of making alchemy an instinct!

Amid complex medicinal herbs, using instinct to sense impurities and essence in heavenly medicines.

Distinguishing each one clearly—how terrifying an instinct that would require!

Just thinking about it was frightening!

Ye Yuan had no affinity, so he used instinct as his eyes to 'see' the chaos in heavenly medicines.

He had done it!

Dragon Bone Grass had proven everything!

Suddenly, all the Heavenly Alchemists present felt a sense of shame!

Before Ye Yuan's perseverance, they were not worthy of being called Heavenly Alchemists!

Because they could not achieve instinct!
