In My Head There is an Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 19: Level Up Successively, Body Refining Pills Completed
Of course, after successfully refining pills, Chu Yunfan had passed the entry-level alchemy apprentice examination. Nevertheless, he was not satisfied and planned to take further tests.
Following the rules of the Alchemist Association, the tests that could be conducted through the virtual network stopped at the certification of an advanced alchemy apprentice. If one wished to become a legitimate alchemist, they would have to take the test in the Alchemist Association.
According to the rules set by the Federation government, alchemy apprentices could only refine medicinal pills for themselves. Only legitimate alchemists, those who had at least the certification of trainees, could sell the pills they refined to others.
When one was still an alchemy apprentice, they only gave instead of receiving any gifts. On the other hand, once one became an official alchemist, they could sell medicinal pills that they refined in the tissues.
At that time, they can recover some of their costs. The higher the level of an alchemist, the more they would produce. Once one passed the alchemy training test and became an official alchemist, they were basically honored guests by all factions.
In Calm Sea City's population of up to 10 million, very few of them had the qualifications to become official alchemists. One could only find mid-level alchemists in Donghua City. An alchemist at such a level was basically a tycoon with a net worth of 100 million and a great influence.
Being on the path of alchemy was within Chu Yunfan's plan. An ordinary person would need to practice many times to pass the examination, but he did not have such worries. Given the situation, he would rather take all the tests at once.
Hence, he did not hesitate anymore and clicked on the Alchemy Assistant to register for the mid-level alchemy apprentice test.
After the entry-level alchemy apprentice test, the intermediate test required him to refine one more medicinal pill. It was just a basic medicinal pill, so it was very easy.
To Chu Yunfan, who had inherited the memories of the Alchemy Emperor, it was as easy as drinking and eating.
“You have obtained the certification of a mid-level alchemy apprentice of the Alchemist Association. Please go to the local Alchemist Association to take your license! ”
Immediately after obtaining the certification of a mid-level alchemy apprentice, Chu Yunfan started the advanced alchemy apprentice test. Just like the intermediate test, the follow-up test only required one more refinement of the medicinal pill.
Although only one refinement of a basic medicinal pill was necessary, as he made continuous refinements, it was actually quite difficult for beginners who were just getting to know alchemy.
In Chu Yunfan's case, there was nothing complicated. He simply followed the steps of adding herbs, fire, and water. He finished it easily.
“You have obtained the certification of an advanced alchemy apprentice of the Alchemist Association. Please go to the local Alchemist Association to take your license! ”
After obtaining the certification of intermediate and advanced level alchemy apprentices consecutively, Chu Yunfan walked out of the virtual network. It was already 5am when he checked the time.
His parents would wake up two hours later, but he hadn't even slept. Instead, he began to meditate. He realized now that since his body had been modified by the mysterious energy, he would become energetic the entire day after meditating for an hour.
He read on the network that it was a good night's sleep. Ordinary people could only retain their energy the next day after sleeping for eight hours. However, if one can maintain a deep sleep for the long term, one can replenish the sleep that the human body needs with a minimum of deep sleep.
Meanwhile, being in a flowing state in meditation was equivalent to his deep sleep.
He could take advantage of the opportunity to cultivate with the Mighty Immortal Emperor Method. No wonder this method is so amazing. He realized that the power he could gain by cultivating with the Mighty Immortal Emperor Method was several times greater than before. That halved the time he needed.
Like that, he ended his cultivation after meditating for an hour. That's because he's too hungry.
In modern cultivation theory, they established that the True Energy derived from the cultivation of Inner Energy is bioenergy. In other words, the amount of True Energy generated from cultivation would be the amount of energy that had been depleted.
Therefore, it was difficult for ordinary people to cultivate for long periods of time because they would starve. Moreover, the cultivation efficiency of the Mighty Immortal Emperor Method was several times greater than ordinary methods. That meant it was equivalent to cultivating for several hours at a time.
Chu Yunfan was considering whether he should buy an elixir that replenished one's energy. Such a herb is tasteless and colorless. They are created by distilling large amounts of food many times over.
It was a miracle that was only possible with modern technology. When the Kunlun Era had just begun, the cultivators were all great eaters. These days, they could rely entirely on elixir. One tube will be enough energy to last all day.
Nonetheless, this elixir was expensive, costing up to 1,000 coins per tube. If a martial artist were to cultivate, they would need several tubes per day. The amount collected would be frightening.
Due to the explosion of technology, modern society has found a solution to the difficulties encountered in the civilization of Ancient Zenith. Even commoners had access to it, as long as they had money.
He could not afford it in the past. However, now that he was Liu Yushu's personal trainer, he was making 6,000 per day. He can still afford that.
With such an energy potion, his cultivation speed would have a significant increase.
Early in the morning, after finishing breakfast and telling his family, Chu Yunfan left the house. He took a bus to get to the Alchemist Association.
After riding the bus for an hour, Chu Yunfan finally arrived at the bustling city center of Calm Sea City. Although a city with a population of up to ten million was nothing in the Kunlun Era, it would definitely be considered an international metropolis in the Common Era.
It was crowded, even though it was just morning. Many regular office workers from urban districts come there to work. Many well-known organizations and companies are located in the city center.
Soon, Chu Yunfan found the Alchemist Association with the help of GPS. At that moment, there were already queues and crowds in the association.
Many people would go there for help, while others came all the way to buy medicinal pills. Common medicinal pills were sold cheaper in the Alchemist Association. There were also many high-grade pills that were not available anywhere else.
Immediately, an Alchemist Association officer looked at Chu Yunfan and asked, “What can I help you with, Mister?”
“I want to refine a medicinal pill. I wonder where I should enroll to rent your alchemy lab? Chu Yunfan looked and asked directly.
He had never been to the Alchemist Association, so he did not know what kind of procedure would exist.
“You will need the certification of an entry-level alchemy apprentice or higher to rent an alchemy lab in our Alchemist Association!” said the officer after glancing at Chu Yunfan.
He was somewhat hesitant for no reason other than Chu Yunfan looking too young.
“Of course I have qualifications, but I take the test on the network. I didn't come here before to take my license! he said to the officer. Naturally, Chu Yunfan knew what he doubted.
“It won't be a problem. It is recorded in our database as long as you are certified on the network. I'll check it out later because it's related to the identity of your citizen! ” The waiter said quickly.
“Sure, show way!” Chu Yunfan said, “Oh yes, order the herbs I need as well!”
“Sure. You can order herbs in the tissues. After you order the alchemy lab, someone will send it to you!” the waiter immediately replied.
Officers brought tablets. There were all sorts of herbs listed there along with the price.
Chu Yunfan picked the herbs quickly while walking. It cost roughly the same as what he saw on the network. Since it came from the Alchemist Association, the quality of the potion was assured.
The officer took the tablet and looked. He had worked in the Alchemist Association for several years, so he could determine what pills to refine from the herbs the alchemists ordered. Although it was slightly different, he knew that Chu Yunfan was refining the Body Refining Pill.
He was secretly surprised. Only middle to upper tier alchemy trainees had the ability to refine Body Refining Pills. Meanwhile, the man before him looked so young. He did not look like a middle-level alchemy trainee at all.
Nevertheless, since he had worked in the Alchemist Association for several years, he knew what to ask and what not to.
He immediately turned around and cleared up the matter for Chu Yunfan.
Immediately, the alchemy laboratory was prepared, and even the medicinal herbs Chu Yunfan ordered were sent. Indeed, the Alchemist Association was efficient in this aspect.
After entering the lab, Chu Yunfan wasted no time. He lit a fire for the alchemy furnace and added water.
Soon, the water in the furnace was boiling. He started picking up a bunch of herbs in the pile and throwing them into the furnace.
He had integrated the memories of the Alchemy Emperor completely, as if he had made his own refinements many times. He knew how many potions to take, like a master who had years of experience.
To an alchemist, those were the basics. One can roughly know the year and place of production of herbs from a glance. That's basic.
In contrast, modern alchemists would not practice it because they used advanced technology. After all, they had digital scales, as well as alchemy apprentices to help them. Everything from when to add seasoning, categorization, weighing, and cutting is done by interns.
Chu Yunfan's skills were as smooth as flowing water whenever he added water and herbs. There is nothing to criticize at all.
The pill refining process was boring, so Chu Yunfan decided to meditate. He waited for the pill refinement to be completed while meditating.
Soon, an hour had passed. The charming scent of the pill spread from the cauldron. At the same time, the alchemy furnace opened up gradually.
A brownish-yellow medicinal pill slowly came out of his hole.. Chu Yunfan did not even need to open his eyes, as he knew that the Body Refining Pill had been successfully refined just from its scent alone.
