Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Improvements on the Panel

’I can finally restock the Lantian Jade Refining Pills.’

Yang Chan had just refined another batch of Lantian Jade Refining Pills in the Earth Fire Institute to replenish his stock. He could also trade them for various medicinal ingredients and silver coins.

In Tan City, many of the herbs hadn’t cost him any silver coins, but he had still used up his supplies. Furthermore, before leaving the Sect, he had made extensive preparations by refining a large quantity of medicine, which had been quite expensive.

Now that he was back in the Cyan Yuan Sect, he had to acquire most of the necessary medicinal ingredients himself, all of which cost silver coins.

The ingredients for Ganoderma Pills, Jade Pills, Spiritual Rejuvenation Marrow Nourishing Liquid, and Cold Fragrance Bone Nourishing Ointment were particularly expensive.

The more effective a medicine was for External Refining, the more expensive it was. At the same time, they also provided Yang Chan with a good amount of Potential Points.

These four medicines brought him 0.6 Potential Points daily, so he certainly wouldn’t stop using them.

He had also paid a visit to the Instructor Hall, but was told he would have to wait five days to be taught the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method. This was because the Instructor Hall’s Hall Master, Han Zhengcheng, was currently not in the Cyan Yuan Sect.

The Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method could only be taught after receiving Hall Master Han Zhengcheng’s approval, so Yang Chan had no choice but to wait a few more days.

Yang Chan could use these few days to gather the remaining Potential Points he needed. During the ten-day journey, he hadn’t gained many Potential Points—only a little over eleven. He was still a bit short, so this was a good opportunity to collect more.

After returning to the Cyan Yuan Sect yesterday, his daily Potential Point gain had finally returned to 2.7. This was his normal rate when things were stable.

’Panel!’

Yang Chan summoned his panel to check it.

[Name: Yang Chan]

[Lifespan: 17/222]

[Talent: 21]

[Potential Points: 0.8]

[Mastered Professions: Pharmacist (Tier Two Entry 76%)]

[Comprehended Techniques: Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill (Tier Four Masterful 7%), Ox Demon’s Mighty Fist (Tier Four Masterful 5%), Turtle Breath Body Cultivation Skill (Tier Two Entry 46%), Demon Suppressing Swordsmanship (Tier Two Entry 64%), Wind-Stepping Technique (Tier Two Entry 50%), Ox Demon Martial Seal (Tier Three Mastery 5%), Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist (Tier Three Mastery 96%), Tiger Demon Martial Seal (Tier Two Entry 94%), Purple Qi Body Cultivation Skill (Tier One Initial Glimpse 55%)]

Yang Chan looked at the panel. Aside from the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill, Ox Demon’s Mighty Fist, and Ox Demon Martial Seal, all his other cultivation techniques had improved. Based on his current progress, he wasn’t far from breaking through to the Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens.

Even without allocating any points, his Pharmacist profession was about to reach Tier Three. His talent as a Pharmacist truly far surpassed that of ordinary people.

He only cultivated the Purple Qi Body Cultivation Skill in the morning when the sun was out, yet its progress was still quite good. It didn’t take up much of his time each day—just the period around sunrise, which only required him to wake up a bit earlier—so Yang Chan hadn’t neglected it.

His Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist had reached Tier Three Mastery at 96%. He had now tempered one hundred and ninety-eight bones throughout his body, with only eight left to reach the Perfection Realm.

This was already good progress. It would basically take about two days for his Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist cultivation to reach Tier Four. By then, he would have finished tempering all two hundred and six bones, turning them all into Iron Bones and reaching the External Iron Bone Perfection Realm.

The same was true for his Tiger Demon Martial Seal; one day at most would be enough. Combined, it wouldn’t take more than three days for him to reach what the Cyan Yuan Sect called the External Iron Bone Perfection Realm. This was the same realm the Cyan Yuan Sect’s Young Sect Leader, Liu Shengyu, had reached. At that point, his combat power would increase even further.

At External Iron Bone Perfection, he would be able to use the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Martial Seal. This was a combined Martial Seal, so its power would naturally be far greater. He would even be able to destroy an entire courtyard, and although it would take his full strength, he would exude the aura of a true expert.

Although he wouldn’t be able to make a courtyard practically disappear with a single strike like an Elder could, his combat power would still take a qualitative leap. In fact, in the eyes of many, this was already an extremely formidable level of combat power.

It was like when Yang Chan had seen Liu Shengyu strike down an expert at External Iron Bone Refining into a courtyard. The impact caused the adjacent house to collapse and left a large crater in the ground. He had felt the tremors from three li away, and the sight had left him shaken.

Then there was the Supreme Elder’s strike, which had sent the No-Life Evil Cult’s Elder, Shen Yuan, crashing down into the even larger Servant Disciple courtyard. Even from dozens of meters away, Yang Chan had felt the powerful tremors. By the time he rushed over, the servant courtyard was almost completely destroyed, and the crater in the ground was much deeper.

This was the kind of combat power that Yang Chan naturally aspired to have.

’If I had that kind of combat power, why would I need to fear the dangers of leaving the mountain?’

At that point, he could naturally shatter everything with a single punch.

’After I leave the Earth Fire Institute, I’ll trade a portion of these with the Sect for some medicinal ingredients to replenish my medicine stock. I’ll give another portion to Han Bingyu to have the Han Family sell them for some money and a few special ingredients. I also need to restock on Dragon Bone, so I’ll just have the Han Family handle that directly.’

’As for the rest, I’ll just take them myself. I’ll stock up now and keep them as a reserve; their effects last for quite a while anyway.’

’I’ll hold off on true Alchemy for now. During this time, I can spend more time reading the Pharmacopoeia to get my Pharmacist profession to Tier Three as quickly as possible. Then I’ll be able to refine real Elixirs.’

’Elixirs are more effective, grant more Potential Points, and are also easier to carry.’

Yang Chan silently laid out his plans.

Being back in the Cyan Yuan Sect meant safety. He no longer had to constantly worry about someone trying to kill him, nor did he have to fear getting caught in the crossfire of a battle between Inner Master experts.

Therefore, his arrangements within the Cyan Yuan Sect would be slightly different from his plans in Tan City. However, the one thing he would not change was his goal of first raising his cultivation to the Inner Refining Realm.

In this world, strength was ultimately what mattered most. Without enough strength, one could only be helpless in the face of danger.

Take the ambush by Wang Sheng and his men on the road back, for example. If Yang Chan’s Martial Arts Cultivation hadn’t been at the External Refining Realm, he would have been timid and hesitant when facing someone like Wang Sheng, and it wouldn’t have been so easy.

Cai Kun had been besieged by two External Refining cultivators, and his situation would not have been good; he might have even been in mortal danger. But at that moment, Yang Chan had easily killed Wang Sheng and then proceeded to kill several more disciples of the No-Life Evil Cult, completely turning the tide of the battle. Only a few people were injured and no one died—this was the benefit of having strength.

“Pharmacist Yang, you’ve succeeded in your refining again! Congratulations, Pharmacist Yang.”

The Steward of the Earth Fire Institute said happily when he saw Yang Chan walk out with a smile on his face.

He had, of course, heard that Yang Chan had successfully refined Lantian Jade Refining Pills, so his tone was sycophantic. A pharmacist who could refine Lantian Jade Refining Pills had a much better chance of becoming an Intermediate Pharmacist, making him well worth flattering.

In any case, it cost him nothing. If he could win Yang Chan’s favor, it would be much more convenient should he ever need to ask a favor of him.

And that was a tangible benefit. Though invisible, it could be crucial when it mattered most.
