Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1297: Chapter 695: Revealing

In two days, Li Yuanba met Yun Xiao again, along with the other members of the squad.

They were all friends, and Li Yuanba’s sudden advancement to the mid-level Nascent Soul stage did not affect their friendship.

These sword cultivators came over, firstly to deliver their spiritual medicine, asking Li Yuanba to refine pills for them, and secondly to have a gathering.

Since Li Yuanba was now a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, his meetings with his old friends were becoming less frequent, so this was a perfect opportunity to strengthen their bonds.

”Yun Xiao, here are the spirit pills refined for you!” Li Yuanba said as he placed a jade bottle in front of Yun Xiao.

”I have also prepared the payment for the alchemy.” Yun Xiao was checking the spirit pills in the jade bottle while saying this, but as soon as he finished, his actions paused.

”Junior Master Li, you didn’t mention that your alchemy skills had improved so much, my payment seems inadequate!” Yun Xiao said with slight excitement.

Of course he was excited; all the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills in the jade bottle were of fourth-grade high quality.

Not to mention anything else, the effects of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills were several times that of mid-level fourth-grade spirit pills, and the value difference between these small grades was immense.

”Alright, I only managed to improve my alchemy ability thanks to your spiritual medicine, the payment can remain the same!” Li Yuanba said with a smile, waving his hand.

”No, I’ll give you this payment first, and I’ll compensate for the shortfall as soon as possible!” Yun Xiao said, shaking his head firmly.

Although he was friends with Li Yuanba, the rules of an alchemy master could not be broken.

If he allowed Li Yuanba to break the rules, then Li Yuanba might be ostracized by all alchemists.

In fact, Li Yuanba truly didn’t care; he was different from other alchemy masters. While others needed to exchange knowledge to improve their skills, his alchemy skills were shared from his original self, Li Shiming.

Theoretically, Li Shiming’s alchemy skills had reached the pinnacle, and were it not for the fact that being an alchemy master was the highest level, perhaps Li Shiming’s alchemy skills might be classified on an even higher plane.

Li Yuanba shared these alchemy skills from his original self, Li Shiming; lacking machine room space and the assistance of the IBM z15, he was more akin to an almost perfect alchemy master.

So, he didn’t care about the rules among alchemy masters, and it didn’t matter if he was rejected by them.

”You!” Li Yuanba shook his head with a smile.

”They are high-level spirit pills!” Zhuo Xuan exclaimed as she used her divine sense to check the spirit pills in the jade bottle.

The squad members were casual with each other, and since the spirit pills in the jade bottle were not a secret, she used her divine sense to examine them.

Upon hearing her exclamation, the other three members also incredulously used their divine sense to inspect the spirit pills inside the jade bottle.

Eight whole Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills, these were refined from four furnaces, with four other spirit pills being left for the alchemy master.

If one or two furnaces of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth-Grade Spirit Pills were of high-grade quality, it could be attributed to luck, but with all four furnaces producing high-grade quality, that was a testament to true alchemy skills.

”Junior Master Li, is your alchemy ability capable of consistently refining fourth-grade high-level spirit pills?” Zhuo Xuan couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

”I should have a 90% confidence level!” Li Yuanba thought for a moment before responding.

The reason he claimed 90% confidence was because, ultimately, these were not refined in a machine room space. Unexpected situations during alchemy often arise, and they are unpredictable.

In the machine room space, with the control mastery of 1 nanometer, any unexpected sign during the process could be immediately addressed, ensuring 100% success.

Li Yuanba achieving a 90% success rate was absolutely the first on the Central State Continent.

His remark made Zhuo Xuan feel like accusing him of boasting, but Yun Xiao adopted a serious expression.

”Junior Master Li, your alchemy abilities need to be reported to the sect; you should know that your skill level has likely surpassed the finest alchemist in the cultivation world. There is a rumor about a guest elder alchemy master in the Central State Commerce, who can ensure the refinement of mid-level fourth-grade spirit pills, having also refined high-level fourth-grade spirit pills of great cultivators, crowned as the finest alchemy master by Central State Commerce.

From what I see, your alchemy skills have completely surpassed that alchemy master; you are the number one alchemy master!” Yun Xiao said.

Li Yuanba was half-surprised; he knew precisely whom Yun Xiao referred to—it was none other than his original self, Li Shiming.

Only he knew that Li Shiming’s alchemy skills were undoubtedly the best in the cultivation world, while he could at most rank second.

He had no intention to explain since he and his original self were one.

”The number one alchemy master in the world!” Zhuo Xuan was also stunned by the title.

Looking at Li Yuanba, it didn’t feel real no matter how she perceived it.

A strong and formidable sword cultivator whose hobby was alchemy, how did he become the top alchemy master in the world?

But she trusted Yun Xiao’s judgment, given Yun Xiao’s prudence, he would not say anything without confidence.

”Alchemy is just a minor path; the Sword Dao is the true great path!” Li Yuanba said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

”Yes, the Sword Dao is the true great path!” Yun Xiao and the others, being sword cultivators, couldn’t help but laugh aloud at Li Yuanba’s words.

Due to Li Yuanba’s unexpectedly improved alchemy skills, the squad members did not have sufficient payment for the alchemy, and like Yun Xiao, they chose to pay the remainder later, refusing Li Yuanba’s offer to reduce payment.
