The three leaders of the Ye Family were chatting inside the Ye Family hall, but Ye Xingchen was cultivating at home.

Just as Ye Xingchen was training, the Marital God System's voice suddenly came out.

"Mission completed, Ancient Pill Dao book rewarded."

After hearing the voice, Ye Xingchen felt a new book suddenly appearing in the Martial God Dimension. The ancient book had four bold and powerful words written on it,《 The Ancient Pill Dao》.

Ye Xingchen flipped it open and took a look, but was instantly attracted by the contents inside. This Ancient Pill book talked about the way of pill refining, and what Ye Xingchen hoped the most was to become a pill refiner.

"The path of the Ancient Pill is truly powerful. It contains the alchemy techniques of many ancient alchemists, as well as many secret alchemy techniques of many alchemy masters. There are even many ancient alchemy formulas." Ye Xingchen said happily as he looked at the Ancient Pill, revealing a smile.

He had been wondering what reward the system would give him this time, but he had never thought it would have anything to do with alchemy.

From his father Ye Hu, Ye Xingchen learned a lot about the art of pill refining. He knew about the difficulty of becoming a pill refiner, and also knew about the pill formulas.

But after looking at the Ancient Pill Dao, Ye Xingchen realized that the alchemists outside could not compare to them either. Any of the level 1 alchemy formulas of the Ancient Pill Dao could be compared with the Secondary alchemy formulas outside, it was simply not something the alchemists outside could compare to.

Looking at the Ancient Pill, Ye Xingchen was extremely happy. He carefully read the contents of the Ancient Pill Dao.

In order to become an alchemist, one must first have a powerful Spiritual Strength and then a powerful innate skill.

Ye Xingchen had acquired a little of these points, the remaining one still needed to be tested.

Following that, he introduced some of the methods used by the ancient Great Expert to refine pills, and also some pill formulas. As the pill formulas were too high levelled, Ye Xingchen was still unable to understand them.

Two hours, four hours, six hours …

Finally, after six hours, Ye Xingchen finished reading the introduction to the Ancient Pill Dao.

After reading, Ye Xingchen understood a lot, and knew that it was the test of talent in pill refining.

"I should try out my pill cultivating talent." After Ye Xingchen thought about this, he found a bit of powder within the War God's Space. He then placed the powder on the ground and placed both of his hands on top of the powder.

The explanation of the Ancient Pill was very clear. After activating the Spiritual Strength, he controlled the powder to make some patterns, and the more complicated the patterns were, the more it proved that the talent one had to concoct pills was very strong.

Ye Xingchen silently revolved the Spiritual Strength, and then, gathered in his hands. He continuously controlled his hands in his heart, and the powder at the bottom of his hands slowly moved under the control of the Spiritual Strength.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen was thinking about Xiao Shi's appearance, and time slowly passed by. Ye Xingchen's hands continuously moved, and the powder under his hands was also slowly moving as well.

"Phew, I finally succeeded." In a quarter of an hour, Ye Xingchen managed to draw the image of the little lion with the Spiritual Strength, which made Ye Xingchen extremely happy.

To be able to draw the appearance of the little lion, it meant that the apothecary possessed incredible talent. This way, he would be able to master pill forging once he possessed both of them.

Ye Xingchen was in a very good mood. After walking out of the Martial God Realm, he told his parents and headed towards the Heavenly River Town.

He walked back and forth the streets of the Heavenly River Town, and finally walked to the trading center. Then, he bought a Medicinal Cauldron and some medicinal herbs to refine pills.

Five Star Grass, Skyfire Avenue, Grass of Life …

Very quickly, Ye Xingchen had bought everything. After that, Ye Xingchen returned home, and after entering the Martial God's dimension, he immediately started to refine pills.

The pitch-black Medicinal Cauldron fell out of Ye Xingchen's Qiankun bag with a "dong" sound, and landed on the ground.

Then, Ye Xingchen took out a few medicinal herbs from his Qiankun bag. Ye Xingchen skillfully placed these few medicinal herbs into the Medicinal Cauldron, and then sealed it.

A Cosmos Sack was a small, independent space that could hold many things. Ordinary warriors did not have a Cosmos Sack, and because Ye Xingchen had won first place in the Family Competition, he gave Ye Xingchen a Cosmos Sack, and the size of the Cosmos Sack was limited, so it was said that he had never seen a Space Ring with Isolated Space.

The moment Ye Xingchen started learning how to refine pellets, he slowly controlled the Spiritual Strength according to what the Ancient Pill said. A flame condensed from the Spiritual Strength suddenly appeared in his palm, burning the Medicinal Cauldron.

Once a warrior could open the Sea of Spiritual Strength, they would be able to condense the Spiritual Strength's flame. This type of fire could evolve, and after evolution, it would become a higher level Innate Flame.

Generally, alchemists would use their own Innate Flame s to refine pills, while Ye Xingchen could only condense Spiritual Strength flames, so he could still use them.

This time, Ye Xingchen was prepared to refine a beginner pill called the Qi Gathering Pill.

Qi Gathering Pills, just as the name implied, could allow the user to quickly gather spiritual energy for their own use.

Although this Qi Gathering Pill was only a beginner pill, it was extremely precious outside. Even if one had the money, they might not be able to buy it, and its effect was comparable to the Grade One Pill in the outside world.

Ye Xingchen kept refining the medicinal pellets, but without exception, he failed. Luckily he had bought enough medicinal herbs, otherwise, he would have ran out of medicinal herbs.

"It's so hard to become an apothecary?" Ye Xingchen said weakly, but after that, he began to concoct pills again.

He continued to put herbs in the Medicinal Cauldron, and then sealed it.

After sealing the Medicinal Cauldron, a small flame suddenly shot out from the Sea of Spiritual Strength in Ye Xingchen's Dantian. This flame passed through his meridians and then slowly appeared in Ye Xingchen's palm.

Ye Xingchen saw this sliver of flame, and then, he gently pressed his palm against the Medicinal Cauldron.

As Ye Xingchen continuously increased the size of the Spiritual Strength, the flames continuously grew until they finally became a flaming snake, and then burrowed into the Medicinal Cauldron.

Not long after, a "Zi zi" sound came out from inside the Medicinal Cauldron, and Ye Xingchen's face revealed a happy smile.

"Looks like the Spiritual Strength has grown quite a bit during this period of time. Right now, the Spiritual Strength has already reached the Postnatal Stage and its ability to control fire has also increased greatly." Ye Xingchen looked at the pitch-black Medicinal Cauldron, and laughed as he muttered to himself.

Just at this moment, the herbs within the Medicinal Cauldron began to melt, and slowly, Ye Xingchen controlled the flames to continuously grow larger, until he couldn't hear any more "sizzling" sounds. Ye Xingchen knew that the herbs had already completely liquefied.

The process of this Pethan was extremely difficult to control, and only extremely powerful people with Spiritual Strength could control it well.

Ye Xingchen's hands were still pressed on top of the Medicinal Cauldron. Under the control of the Spiritual Strength, the flames were weak at one moment and strong at the next.

One hour, four hours, six hours.

Time passed in a flash, and it took Ye Xingchen six hours to finally finish the entire process of the Pethan.

The next step was to use the Spiritual Strength to forcefully enter the inside of the Medicinal Cauldron's pellet, and then change the shape of the pellet.

Ye Xingchen was very confident in this step. After all, his Spiritual Strength was very powerful.

Just like that, another fifteen minutes passed, and the pellet was finally completed. Ye Xingchen revealed a gratified smile on his face, and then, his hands stopped moving.

"I finally succeeded." Ye Xingchen took a whiff of the fragrance of the pills in the air and laughed.

Ye Xingchen gently picked up the medicinal cover, and then, a multicolored medicinal pellet flew out from inside. Ye Xingchen quickly put the medicinal pellet into a small bottle he had prepared beforehand.

"The Qi Gathering Pill has finally been refined. This is the first pill that I have ever refined." Ye Xingchen said warmly as he looked at the pellet in his hand.

Just like this, Ye Xingchen began to refine pills day after day. He failed and succeeded time after time, day after day, completely forgetting about time.

Just like this, a month passed.

After a period of concocting pills, Ye Xingchen was already able to easily refine the Qi Gathering Pills that came in and out of the sect.

And in this month, Ye Xingchen had actually refined more than a hundred Qi Gathering Pills.

If this was in the outside world, it would definitely cause a huge commotion, but Ye Xingchen did not care, he was still blaming himself for concocting pills too slowly.

If the old masters of the apothecaries in the outside world were to hear of this, they would definitely spurt blood and die.

During this time, Ye Xingchen went out once, which was to say that he wanted to buy enough medicinal herbs.

On this day, Ye Xingchen was preparing to become a Level 1 Alchemist.

To become a Level 1 Alchemist, one must be able to successfully refine a Grade One Pill.

Ye Xingchen didn't bite off more than he could chew. He chose the most ordinary Grade One Pill, Strength Gathering Pill.

This Grade One Pill was a medicine that could condense Spiritual Strength. As long as one consumed a pill, the Spiritual Strength in his dantian would instantly condense to the limit.

Ye Xingchen had already prepared the herbs, this pill formula was something he had found in the way of Ancient Pill.

According to the records of the Ancient Pill Dao's pill formulas, this Strength Gathering Pill had five types of medicinal herbs to be able to refine.

Ye Xingchen familiarly placed the four types of medicinal herbs into the Medicinal Cauldron, and then sealed it.

The fifth was the main material for Strength Gathering Pill, the Water of Life.

Although there was the word 'Life' in this Water of Life, it was only the Water of Life that had been compressed by the Spiritual Strength.

After being refined for the past month, the Sea of Spiritual Strength in Ye Xingchen's dantian was extremely thick, and a small wisp of flame condensed from the Sea of Spiritual Strength, then followed the meridians and arrived at Ye Xingchen's palm.

Ye Xingchen lightly pressed his palm against the center of the Medicinal Cauldron, continuously strengthening the Spiritual Strength, and then used the flames to burn the profound herbs within the Medicinal Cauldron.

A long time passed, but there was no movement from within the Medicinal Cauldron.

Ye Xingchen frowned, then increased the intensity of the flames, continuing to burn. At this time, the pitch-black Medicinal Cauldron had already been burnt red, but the herbs within the Medicinal Cauldron still did not have the slightest movement.
