This ceremony concluded in perfection, with dozens of Pill Masters expressing congratulations to this newly advanced Pill Master’s prodigious talent.

To become a formal Pill Master in three months and casually refine a supreme pill on the first try truly shows that Wang Xuan is a natural genius.

“The pill formation success rate and pill quality are so high, ranking among the top in Middle Third Grade Spirit Masters!”

The crowd praised him for a while, and Master He Fang and his disciples celebrated for a while longer. Only then did the events of the day come to an end.

From that day onwards, people constantly journeyed to the Black and White Mountains, all cultivators in search of pills, who lacked for nothing in terms of wealth.

What they sought were supreme pills, something always in short supply. Given Wang Xuan’s level of alchemy, he could easily refine such supreme pills.

“They want to order Upper and Supreme Grade pills? Tell them I’m temporarily unavailable; we can discuss it some other time.”

Wang Xuan directly refused, as he was busy improving his alchemical skills, preparing to make a name for himself with a groundbreaking performance.

How could he possibly refine Upper Grade pills containing impure pill poison and contaminants? Though such faults are rare, they are ultimately imperfect.

When I refine pills, I must refine supreme pills!

What splendor there must be in being a Pill Master who only refines supreme pills! If I do it, I must do it to the utmost!

The herbal fragrance wafted across the Black and White Mountain as Wang Xuan ceaselessly refined Bone Tempering Pills; one furnace after another, resulting in twenty furnaces in a single day.

Looking at each milky white Bone Tempering Pill, Wang Xuan felt a bit pleased, but not entirely satisfied.

“Twenty furnaces of Bone Tempering Pills, using ten portions of raw materials per furnace, producing a total of one hundred fifty pills, fifty of which are Upper Grade, and one hundred are Supreme Grade.”

Such results would be something to brag about for any Spirit Tier Pill Master. From the first day of refining to his current level, Wang Xuan has greatly improved.

One could say his alchemy technique advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the pinnacle in refining Bone Tempering Pills.

However, Wang Xuan was not satisfied.

“If I truly reached perfection, I could refine two hundred supreme pills; yet I only refined one hundred fifty, the pill formation success rate is way too low, which is simply unbearable!

Moreover, a third of them are Upper Grade. Doesn’t this indicate many areas where I haven’t reached my limits or achieved perfection?”

Scratching his head, Wang Xuan walked out of his alchemy room, sighing uncontrollably.

Since obtaining the accelerator, he likes to push everything to the limits, nearly becoming obsessive.

In learning alchemy, he is vastly short of that perfect limit!

It’s no mere blemish, but a disgrace!

“Not in the mood, I won’t refine pills today.”

With one hundred fifty Bone Tempering Pills in hand, he popped supreme Bone Tempering Pills into his mouth one after another, chewing them as if they were beans.

The supreme pills are truly delectable, maximizing the ingredients they are made from, with supreme taste and aroma.

As they melted, passing down his throat and being absorbed bit by bit, the feeling of them being perfectly absorbed by the body, cells and flesh cheering, is a great pleasure!

“They taste quite good.”

Soon, dozens of supreme pills were consumed, yet despite consuming so many, Wang Xuan’s body exhibited little reaction. At most, the nutrients were absorbed and stored in his skeleton.

The sisters Chun Shui and Qiushui behind him, smelling the faint herbal aroma and seeing Wang Xuan voraciously eating supreme pills, were exceedingly envious.

Supreme pills are rare indeed; out of a thousand Bone Tempering Pills on the market, only three to five might be supreme. Although Immortal Martial Mountain is a Holy Land, even there supreme pills aren’t eaten like candy.

It’s understood among Pill Masters that there’s an unwritten rule: they won’t refine pills below their Great Realm, like how Earth Tier lower third grade Alchemy Masters won’t bother with Spirit Tier Lower Third Grade Pills.

Otherwise, with their alchemical skills, such level pills are effortless.

Their time is far too valuable, not worth wasting on such things; instead, it’s better to refine a batch of higher-grade pills. Furthermore, if they did so, the lower-skilled Pill Masters wouldn’t have anything to eat.

Wang Xuan glanced at them, reclining on the wicker chair, as Chun Shui dutifully swayed it gently, while Qiushui massaged his legs.

“For your diligent daily service, this Mountain Lord will grant you some Upper Grade Bone Tempering Pills, to help you progress quickly as well.

Lest your strength be insufficient to massage my shoulders and legs.”

Handing the scorned Upper Grade Pills to Chun Shui, the joyful twins smiled brightly, like a spring day full of bright sunshine, appearing as if they had tasted honey.

Qiushui turned and gave a smile that reminded Wang Xuan of Daji — a charming and alluring young maiden, whose allure would be even more irresistible with a little more maturity.

Supreme pills were consumed one by one, and amid the cool afternoon breeze, Wang Xuan quickly dozed off in the sun.

When he awoke, the western sky was ablaze with brilliant clouds, the sunset gradually dipped behind the mountain, as time fleetingly reached dusk.

The two sisters dozed against the wicker chair, stealing some rest when not summoned, being not yet eighteen-year-old girls.

Without reprimanding them, Wang Xuan gazed at the sky’s scenery while pondering how to enhance his alchemical skills.

Alchemy isn’t a fixed skill, and with his experience, it can’t be accelerated with the accelerator.

In truth, Wang Xuan was quite content, as taking numerous shortcuts while practicing alchemy techniques allowed him to become a Pill Master in less than two to three years.

“Accelerator.” Wang Xuan silently invoked it in his heart, having not done so for a long time, his personal information swiftly appeared.

Source Point: Sixty Thousand Three Hundred

Looking at the source power value, Wang Xuan squinted. To invest in Alchemy Dao, he expended fifteen thousand source power on various techniques, allowing him to quickly become a Pill Master.

“Normally spending a few hundred, accumulating two to three points daily, still leaving a balance of sixty thousand units.”

Every day the additional one or two source points, Wang Xuan understood where they came from, presumably as Su Xiaowei summoned a Yellow Turban Warrior daily at Precious Light Temple.

Furthermore, the additional source points weren’t consistent, as sometimes the Yellow Turban Warrior was dispersed by some unknown external force.

In the past two months, every increase in source points began at two, indicating significant breakthroughs in Su Xiaowei’s cultivation level, though it’s unclear what level she is at currently.

Scanning his personal panel’s information, Wang Xuan felt something amiss. Had he overlooked something, or was it truly a case of his eyes deceiving him?

Checking the cultivation skills list, the latest skill to appear was “Bone Tempering Pill Alchemy Technique,” which puzzled him greatly. What was this?

Wang Xuan’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. Unlike cultivation techniques which are systematic, divided into Spirit Tier and Earth Tier chapters of the Human Immortal and Earth Immortal chapters, respectively, alchemy skills are formed based on pill recipes, with each pill forming its individual skill.

“It’s possible to progress this way?” Wang Xuan was both bewildered and overjoyed.

“Does this mean, my Bone Tempering Pill refining skill can also be accelerated and proficiency enhanced?”

Wang Xuan speculated, still puzzled why only this one pill had formed a skill while others showed no response.

“This must be due to mastery; only with Bone Tempering Pills have I reached the highest refinement level and understanding, hence it appeared first.”

He pondered, arriving at this conclusion.
