Chapter 3042: Comprehending the Way of Alchemy (2/2)
“This is the way to refine a few spirit pills, which includes low, mid, high, and supreme grade spirit pills. You can comprehend it yourself. When you can refine supreme grade spirit pills, come and find me.”
Ancestor Lan passed some more knowledge regarding the Way of Alchemy to Jian Chen before letting him go refine pills by himself.
After leaving ancestor Lan’s alchemy room, Jian Chen found a spacious place on the Soaring Snow peak before taking out a low quality god artifact divine hall and setting it on the snowy ground. He turned around and entered the divine hall, beginning his pill refining in seclusion.
Within the divine hall, Jian Chen took out the Fortune Jade Pedestal, comprehending the Way of Alchemy as he refined spirit pills.
He was not lacking any alchemy cauldrons. He had plenty of alchemy cauldrons of various qualities in his Space Ring, all spoils he had obtained in the past through his battles. As for the heavenly resources for refining the pills, it obviously was not something he had to worry about given the presence of ancestor Lan, a grandmaster alchemist, and the Heavenly Crane clan’s level of wealth.
Refining low level pills like spirit pills did not touch on the Laws of Alchemy. It focused on the understanding and knowledge of alchemy, such as the combination of medicinal herbs and the control over the fire.
Given the heights that Jian Chen had attained so far, refining spirit pills obviously did not pose too great of a difficulty. After several failures and exhausting some low level heavenly resources, he managed to refine various kinds of supreme grade spirit pills successfully in just a year’s time.
Afterwards, Jian Chen visited ancestor Lan again to learn how to refine saint pills.
Saint pills corresponded to immortal pills in the Immortals’ World. In the domain of saint pills, the difficulty involved would multiply.
That was because refining saint pills would touch on the Laws of Alchemy. Not only did refining saint pills require exceptionally skillful technique, combination, and usage of various resources, the most difficult part was nurturing and refining each saint pill with the Laws of Alchemy.
“If I want to refine saint pills, I need to comprehend the Way of Alchemy first. The level of comprehension determines the quality of the saint pills refined,” Jian Chen thought. He was calm, as placid as water, as he sat on the Fortune Jade Pedestal. He closely recalled all of the knowledge regarding the Way of Alchemy that ancestor Lan had explained to him.
However, his progress with alchemy slowed down. It was nowhere near as smooth as when he refined spirit pills.
Recently, it had not been particularly quiet in the Heavenly Crane clan, as something major that could influence the fate of the entire clan to a certain degree was currently unfolding.
Everything was all because the current leader of the Heavenly Crane clan had successfully become a Chaotic Prime, rising up to the ranks of great elders.
According to the customs of the Heavenly Crane clan, being the leader of the clan was normally a duty held by an Infinite Prime. Once they broke through to Chaotic Prime, they would immediately relinquish their position and retire from the spotlight.
Right now, the Heavenly Crane clan was in a sensitive period where the new leader succeeded the old.
Although the three ancestors surpassed all else in the Heavenly Crane clan and possessed the ability to decide the fate of the entire clan, the three ancestors rarely ever handled these affairs. As such, the clan leader was basically responsible for the various matters and decisions in the clan.
The clan leader possessed the ability to mobilise the many resources and forces the Heavenly Crane clan had to offer.
As a result, the position of clan leader also happened to be a symbol of authority in the Heavenly Crane clan.
Now, who would become the next leader of the Heavenly Crane clan had become an extremely hot topic in the clan. It led to numerous great elders within the Heavenly Crane clan gathering together and beginning a heated dispute.
