Chapter 1302 Alchemy Flames

1302 Alchemy Flames

The young man returned with a small wooden box a few minutes later.

He opened it before Yuan to show the two red pills resting inside.

"Please confirm the product."

[Limit: Once every 6 hours]

"I have confirmed it," Yuan said as he accepted the wooden box, tossing it inside his spatial ring.

"Is there anything else that I can help you with?"

"No, this is all. Thank you." Yuan walked away, making his way to the 35th floor to take a glimpse of their class.

Upon arriving at the 35th floor, Yuan was greeted by a large door with two Spirit Lord guards.

"I'd like to experience the alchemy class," Yuan said to the guards as he approached them.

The guards silently inspected him for a moment before nodding their heads.

Yuan opened the door and entered the massive room.

The room's interior, devoid of decorations and furniture for space efficiency, housed over five hundred people at a glance. They sat in silence, attentively observing a middle-aged woman on a platform at the room's end as she skillfully concocted pills.

Yuan took a seat at an empty spot and used his divine sense to take a closer look at the concoction. Since he watched Wang Xiuying concoct pills before, he understood the basics and the middle-aged woman's current progression.

'Since she's still melting the ingredients, she must've just started.'

Three hours later.

'She's still melting the ingredients? It took Wang Xiuying only an hour to finish.' Yuan wondered if the pill being created was much more powerful than the tier 2 pill Wang Xiuying had concocted.

Eventually, after waiting four whole hours, the Alchemist on the stage intensified the strength of her alchemy flames, causing it to dance vigorously.

Several more minutes later, the Alchemist opened the caldron, releasing a cloud of dark smoke and revealing the completed pill.

[Spirit Recovery Pill] [Tier 1] [Purity: 91%]

[Effects: Restores spiritual energy. The effectiveness will significantly decrease for Cultivators above Spirit Master.]

[Description: A Spiritual Pill concocted by Pill Expert Ming Ye.]

[Limit: Once every hour]

'It's only a tier 1 pill? Even the purity is worst than the tier 2 pill concocted by Wang Xiuying.' Yuan shook his head inwardly.

'Does this mean Wang Xiuying was already more skillful than this Pill Expert half a year ago? This Pill Expert is a Spirit Lord, too.'

While Yuan was disappointed by the results, the rest of the audience there were filled with awe and cheered like fans during a concert.

"I hope you all paid attention to my demonstration just now. If you have a cauldron and would like to try to concoct the pill yourself, we have the ingredients over there. I will be going around to instruct you as well." The middle-aged woman said.

Hearing this, multiple people there brought out their cauldron.

Yuan wanted to try concocting a pill, but he did not have any alchemy flames.

'I still have the cauldron I bought with Wang Xiuying, but I don't have the alchemy flames needed to concoct pills. If I really want to, this store sells alchemy flames on the 38th and 39th floors…'

After pondering for a moment, Yuan left the 35th floor and made his way to the 38th floor.

"Hello, are you looking to purchase alchemy flames?" A pretty young woman beckoned him when she noticed him looking around.

Yuan nodded as he approached the young woman.

"Do you have any alchemy flames meant for beginners?" he asked.

"Of course. What type of alchemy flames are you looking for?"

"How many types are out there? Sorry, I'm really new to this."

"Don't worry about it, we've all been there." The young woman chuckled, and she continued, "Anyways, there are 3 main types of alchemy flames—Spirit, Tranquil, and Neutral."

"Spirit-type Alchemy Flames are fierce and vicious in nature. They are extremely powerful and require minimal spiritual energy to maximize their strength, making them the most powerful type of Alchemy Flames. However, because of their viciousness, they are also extremely hard to control, so only those with peak talents or vast experience would use this type of flames."

"Meanwhile, Tranquil-type Alchemy Flames are the complete opposite of Spirit-type. They are calm and gentle in nature, so they will be much easier to control. Unfortunately, they are not as powerful as Spirit-types and will require much more spiritual energy than Spirit-types to achieve the same results. This is the most popular type of flames for beginners, but most of them quickly change to the other types after gaining some experience."

"Last but certainly not least, we have Neutral-type, also known as ordinary Alchemy Flames. Just as its name implies, they have a neutral nature. They are neither calm nor vicious, placed right between Spirit-type and Tranquil-type with a perfect balance of power and control. Most experienced Alchemists favor this type. In fact, the vast majority of Alchemists use this type of flame."

Yuan pondered for a moment before deciding, "I'll choose Tranquil-type."

Since he has an immense supply of spiritual energy, he won't have to worry about the inefficiency of such flames, and as a beginner, he should use something easy to manage.

"I understand. Here is a list of all available Tranquil-type Alchemy Flames for sale. The first 3 pages are meant for beginners so you don't have to look past that." The young woman handed him a thin book with about 5 pages.

Yuan nodded and started looking through the book. Although 3 pages sounded a lot at first, once he looked at the book, there were only 6 names per page.

However, when he saw the prices for these beginner's Alchemy Flames, his eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.

[1] Nameless Tranquil Flames (10,000,000 spirit stones)

[2] Azure Jade (370,000,000 spirit stones)

[3] Soothing Heavens (450,000,000 spirit stones)

[4] Blue Fate (490,500,000 spirit stones)

[5] Royal Sea (585,000,000 spirit stones)

[6] Perfect Silver (700,000,000 spirit stones)

'Holy fuck! Why the hell are they so expensive?!?!' he cried inwardly.
