Fang Lin’s 36 meridians were completely opened while he also managed to open up one of the 72 meridians. The result came as a double surprise and joy to him.

Even though it was only one of the 72 meridians, it was extremely important to him as it allowed him to be in the lead compared to the ordinary martial arts cultivators during the initial phase.

Fang Lin was excited, so he began to cultivate instantly after his meridians opened. After all, his realm was so weak that it was very difficult for him to refine elixirs. Moreover, one would need to have an adequate realm in order to do anything related to cultivation.

Fang Lin cultivated the Alchemy Saint Palace Technique that was known as the Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage. It was the first cultivation technique of the Alchemy Saint Palace and only the best and most important disciples were authorized to cultivate this technique.

Moreover, the Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage was divided into three parts. There were only three people with the adequate qualifications to cultivate all three parts in the entire Alchemy Saint Palace, and Fang Lin was one of them.

Even though the Purple Glow Sect had provided its cultivation techniques to the disciples, Fang Lin was cynical in regards to those cultivation techniques. After all, he had cultivated using the Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage in the past, thus it was absolutely impossible for him to cultivate these low-grade cultivation techniques anymore.

However, albeit the Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage being a magnificent cultivation technique, the requirements for the cultivation were also exceedingly strict. The most important condition was for the cultivator to swallow the best quality alchemy cauldrons.

In his past life, Fang Lin had swallowed eight of the best quality alchemy cauldrons and managed to cultivate the eighth level of Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage. He was reputed to be the first man of the Alchemy Saint Palace to do so.

On the other hand, a person could transform himself into an alchemy cauldron after cultivating to the ninth level of the Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage. By then, the person would be able to refine anything that existed in heaven and on earth. He would be able to refine every single possible elixir with just a flip of the hand. It was amazing beyond comparison.

However, Fang Lin did not manage to cultivate to the ninth level of Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage despite the Alchemy Saint Palace’s resources. This was because the requirement for the final alchemy cauldron was too high.

In this life, he had to start from the beginning once again. In fact, even he did not know if he had the capability to return to the height of his past life.

Fang Lin walked out of his room for the first time after engaging in closed-door cultivation for ten consecutive days. He was still in the level-2 primordial man realm, but his essence, energy, and spirit felt different.

“Junior Brother Disciple Fang, you’re finally out! It’s the junior alchemy disciples’ alchemy altar lesson tomorrow. Don’t miss it,” Xu Shangao reminded when he saw Fang Lin was walking out of the house while he was trimming the herbs in his courtyard.

Fang Lin answered by making his way to the front and plucking a few herbs without awaiting Xu Shangao’s permission or reaction.

“What are you doing, Junior Brother Disciple Fang?” Xu Shangao asked.

Fang Lin did not even bother to turn around. He walked back into the alchemy room while saying, “I’m going to refine some elixirs.” Upon saying that, he closed the door to the alchemy room.

Xu Shangao was frustrated. Hey, this is my alchemy room! Why aren’t you showing me any courtesy?

However, he did not mind either. After experiencing Fang Lin’s unusual capabilities, he did not attempt to stop him from refining elixirs anymore.

Fang Lin was planning to refine some Energy-refining Pills this time. It would allow him to elevate his cultivation speed so that he could enter the level-3 primordial man realm quickly.

Earlier, Kang Lu had also offered a bottle of Energizing Pills to Fang Lin during his lobbying attempt. However, he did not take it. For one, he refused to be bound to Kang Lu’s favor. On the other hand, he also looked down upon the elixirs that others refined. Since he was going to consume elixirs, he wanted to refine the best for himself.

The Energizing Pill was not the best quality elixir available and it was categorized as an unorthodox product as well. However, it was considered a higher class elixir among the unorthodox elixirs.

With the experience from his past life, it was still extremely easy for Fang Lin to refine this elixir despite his current condition being far weaker than that from his past life.

Two hours later, Fang Lin walked out of the alchemy room with a jade bottle in his hand. There were seven Energizing Pills in the bottle.

“Senior Brother Disciple Xu, I have seven Energizing Pills. Here, I’ll give you three,” Fang Lin offered.

Xu Shangao had a shocked expression on his face when he heard Fang Lin’s comment. He gasped. “You’ve managed to refine the Energizing Pills?”

Fang Lin nodded and passed three green pills to Xu Shangao who received the pills cautiously. He took a closer look and discovered that these three Energizing Pills were actually of high-grade quality.

“These are high-grade Energizing Pills that can elevate one’s cultivation speed by three to four times. This is extremely precious!” Xu Shangao exclaimed in excitement.

Generally, an Energizing Pill was used to elevate cultivation speed by one to two times while medium-grade quality pills could certainly increase one’s cultivation speed by two times. On the other hand, the high-grade quality pills could elevate cultivation speed by three to four times. Its value was way higher than medium-grade Energizing Pills.

Martial arts disciples would fight for these few Energizing Pills wildly if they were ever offered. After all, the martial arts disciples valued cultivation speed the most and high-grade quality Energizing Pills were incredibly rare.

“Junior Brother Disciple Fang, why are the pills you refine of such impressive quality?” Xu Shangao could not refrain from asking.

Fang Lin smiled ever so slightly and answered, “I’ve been doing this for a long time, so the quality of my elixirs are naturally good.”

Upon listening to his words, Xu Shangao looked at Fang Lin strangely. He thought to himself, ‘You look like you’re just over ten years old. Just how many elixirs have you refined before?’

Fang Lin did not use the Energizing Pills to elevate his realm at once. After all, he needed a few days to engage in closed-door cultivation after consuming the pills just to elevate his realm. On the other hand, he had no choice but to attend the alchemy altar lesson tomorrow.

As a result, he planned to consume the Energizing Pills the next day after the lesson in order to break through his realm.

The alchemy altar lesson was held twice a month. It was compulsory for all junior alchemy disciples to attend the lessons. Even the junior alchemy disciples that were tagged to official disciples for six months such as Fang Lin and Lu Xiaoqing had to attend the lesson too.
