Xu Fan held a small bag of Spirit Stones and waved goodbye to Wang Yulun.

“You’ve earned it, brat. That’s what I’ve summarized all my best combat skills for.”

“Learning is earning.” Xu Fan took the small bag of Spirit Stones in his hand and returned to his small courtyard.

Shangling Peak was the only place in the outer sect where inner sect disciples could be seen. This was also where outer sect disciples traded goods.

There was a nine-storey large commercial building. It housed the chamber of commerce that was directly owned by the sect. Everything needed for the Qi Refinement Stage could be found from the first to the third floor.

In a guest room on the second floor, a middle-aged supervisor was carefully examining the spiritual rice Xu Fan brought.

“Not bad, not bad.”

The supervisor could not stop praising the sparkling spiritual rice in his hands.

“Brother Xu, you’re amazing. There are only a few people in the outer sect who can grow such top-grade rice.”

“Other than those cultivators who have planted spirit herbs in the outer sect for their entire lives, I didn’t expect that a young talent like Brother Xu could grow them.”

“I’ll give you 600 Spirit Stones for 1,230 kilograms of spiritual rice. What do you think?” The supervisor looked carefully at the spiritual rice in his hand after he finished speaking.

This kind of top-notch spiritual rice was the favorite spiritual supplement for cultivation clans. It was necessary to lay a deep foundation for the geniuses of these clans.

Typically, such top-grade spiritual rice was rarely circulated in the market. It could only be found by cultivators who specialized in cultivating spiritual value.

“This price is reasonable.” A strange look flashed across Xu Fan’s eyes. Was it possible to obtain top-grade spiritual rice just by selling the spiritual rice watered with the Little Spirit Rain Technique?

“In that case, I will make the decision to add another 20 Spirit Stones. I hope that you will still choose the Light Peak Chamber of Commerce when your spiritual rice matures next time.”

The supervisor smiled warmly. As a supervisor, his status was equivalent to the Golden Core cultivators in the sect.

“Thank you for your kindness, Supervisor. I will sell the spiritual rice to your Chamber of Commerce the next time it matures,” said Xu Fan with a smile.

“If you need a large spiritual farm to plant spiritual rice, you can contact me,” said the supervisor after thinking for a while. Usually, in the outer sect, he could only plant crops in the mountain that belonged to him.

“Alright, I’ll contact you if I need anything.”

Xu Fan nodded and expressed his gratitude to the supervisor.

However, he thought, “The rate of return for planting spiritual rice is too low. I should continue on my path of dual alchemy and weaponry.”

After the transaction was completed, Xu Fan spent another 500 Spirit Stones on the first floor to purchase a Dharma artifact, an Elixir Furnace that could automatically convert spirit flames.

On the way back, Xu Fan excitedly held the small Elixir Furnace in his hands.

“Luckily, Yulun gave me 500 Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I would only be able to buy the most basic alchemy furnace. It’s said that it’s very difficult to use.”

Previously, Xu Fan had asked his Senior Brother, who was studying alchemy in the same batch as him. That kind of lowest-grade alchemy furnace was just to give those outer sect disciples without Senior Brother a chance to learn alchemy.

It would show them that the poor had no affinity with alchemy.

The next day, Xu Fan rushed towards Taixue Peak in high spirits.

“If I had such enthusiasm in my previous life, my family would probably be so happy.”

“Wait for me. Wait for me to step into the utmost powerful state. I will definitely return.”

The more Xu Fan thought about it, the more determined he became.

At the Spirit Pill Pavilion of Taixue Peak.

“The tuition fee is 500 Spirit Stones and 100 contribution points.”

“This only cover a year’s worth of tuition fees. The course lasts a total of two years.”

“You can rest for a day during the middle and end of every month.”

“When you become a junior alchemist, you can join the Elixir Hall.”

A part-time disciple in the Elixir Hall explained the course to Xu Fan as he brought Xu Fan to the hall.

The place where Xu Fan would study in the future was a compound that occupied more than six square kilometers, just like the school in his previous life.

At the entrance of the academy, the disciple guiding Xu Fan cupped his hands at Xu Fan and said, “I have already said all the things you need to take note of.”

“I hope that Senior Brother can become an alchemy master soon.”

Xu Fan also quickly cupped his hands in return.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Holding the token that he had just obtained, Xu Fan found the classroom that belonged to him. It occupied more than a hundred square meters, and there were a total of ten seats. A pill furnace had been prepared in front of each seat.

The moment Xu Fan entered the classroom, he was greeted by a delicate and beautiful woman with a graceful figure.

She was like a demon in the human world. Xu Fan could not help but think of this phrase.

“Hello, Junior Brother. Are you a new disciple?”

“Yes, my name is Xu Fan. How should I address you, Senior Sister?” Xu Fan smiled. With just a glance, Xu Fan retracted his evil thoughts.

“My name is Sha Yan. I am a reserve lecturer here. When my master isn’t here, it is usually me who gives lectures in his place.” Sha Yan revealed a charming smile as she looked at this ordinary-looking Junior Brother.

An idiot1? As soon as this thought popped up in his head, Xu Fan hurriedly shook his head and blocked this thought. She was so beautiful. How could she be an idiot?

“Junior Brother Xu Fan, do you have any questions?” Sha Yan looked at Xu Fan in confusion.

“No, no. I was just thinking about what to do about the classes that I missed previously since we are all attending the same class.” Xu Fan scratched his head and casually asked a question.

“That’s easy. The early stages are all basic classes. I have the jade slips that contain all the information here.”

“In the future, I’ll give you some private lessons in the afternoon.”

“Alright, it’s time. I’m going to start my lecture. Little Junior Brother, you have to listen carefully.” Sha Yan’s eyes were like crescent moons as she spoke.

Xu Fan was instantly moved by this cute expression. In his previous life, he was a loser and a nerd. How would he have the chance to come into contact with such a beauty?

Now, he could actually have a private tutoring session.

Xu Fan walked to the seat Sha Yan had arranged for him and sat cross-legged on the cushion. Then, he exchanged glances with the disciples around him.

Including Xu Fan, there were a total of ten people in the class. They occupied all the seats in the class.

“Next, let’s talk about the importance of elementary spiritual medicine processing in pill refinery. The perfection of elementary processing determines the quality of the pill in the future.”

“Then, let me talk about the basic steps in processing medicine. The first step involves extracting the essence….”

As the alchemy class officially began, Xu Fan also began to listen.

In the afternoon, Xu Fan spent the whole afternoon alone with the beautiful teacher.

After the lesson, he returned to his small mountain.

Xu Fan took out the information that he had collected earlier and started to analyze it carefully.

A month later.

Xu Fan started his first pill refinement in the newly built pill refinement room on his mountain.

“It’s not easy. After learning for more than a month, I can finally start refining pills.”

Xu Fan took out a piece of Spirit Stones and threw it into the fire trough below the pill furnace in pain. Then, the bottom of the pill furnace immediately ignited with raging flames.

He performed the Fire Control Art and the Spirit Control Art.

Opening the furnace lid, Xu Fan instantly threw in the spirit medicine essence he had already refined beforehand.

It included the essence of Water Spirit Herbs, Solar Eclipse Fruits, Lingzhi Mushrooms, and Hundred-Grass Dew…

As Xu Fan poured the medicinal essence into the pill furnace, he controlled the fire.

When all the spirit medicines entered the Elixir Furnace, Xu Fan immediately used the Pill Molding Technique he had learned.

Inside the fiery-red furnace, the elixir essence that had already been refined into liquid began to split into ten small balls of liquid. Then, they began to use the temperature inside the furnace to temper themselves.

Just as Xu Fan was lamenting that refining pills was not difficult…

Boom!

“Even a heaven-warping genius like me can blow up a furnace!!”
