Thinking of this, Ye Fan's hands started to itch.
In fact, compared to cultivation, he preferred these auxiliary professions.
As the saying goes.
Interest is the best teacher.
It was precisely because of his own love that he was able to overcome all difficulties and refine his skills to the extreme before.
Taking this life, for example.
When he had nothing to do, he would write and draw on paper, thinking about problems he couldn't solve before, or trying to improve some existing techniques.
Even though he had no cultivation in this life, many techniques could not be used.
But he had still tinkered with these things more than once before.
And he was limited by his lack of cultivation before, so even if he occasionally practiced, it was inconvenient in many ways.
It was not satisfying at all!
Now it's better.
Although he still has no cultivation, he has the ability to engage in these auxiliary professions!
It's even more convenient than before!
Since the conditions are so perfect, he naturally has to have a good time!
However, first of all, he had to solve the problem of raw materials.
Since the system began to show signs of insufficient energy, it had not actively signed in for a long time.
And the system had previously signed in finished pills, not medicinal herbs for refining pills.
There were no medicinal herbs in his storage bag either...
Thinking of this, Ye Fan set his sights on the Yunhua Sect.
Such a large sect, they must not be short of medicinal herbs.
The top-grade ones were out of the question.
And whether they had them or not was still unknown.
He presumed that ordinary low-level medicinal herbs would be fine.
If they were willing to give them, he could leave some of the pills he refined for them later, and it wouldn't be as if he was taking advantage of them.
As Ye Fan walked out of his residence, he found the disciple who had brought him and the little demon girl there before.
"I can't make this decision..." the disciple said apologetically, "Guest, please wait a moment, I'll ask for you."
After speaking, the disciple took out a communication jade and sent a message.
Soon, the message came back.
"As long as it's medicinal herbs below the third tier, he can use them as he pleases."
For a small sect like the Ziyun Sect, the third tier was already considered a precious medicinal herb.
It could only be said that large sects were indeed formidable!
Thus, Ye Fan was brought to the Yunhua Sect's alchemy room.
Although this was the sect's public alchemy room, everyone could use an independent private room.
After all, alchemy required intense concentration and could not tolerate any disturbance.
If a bunch of people gathered together, it would definitely be chaos.
Moreover, this was also for the protection of the alchemists.
As everyone knows.
When alchemy fails, there is a situation called an explosion of the furnace...
Although the explosion of the furnace was generally not very dangerous, at most it would leave one covered in soot or with minor injuries.
But it was only a general situation.
If it was an unusual situation, then it would be hard to say.
For example, the person and the house might go up in smoke together...
Human energy is finite after all.
When a cultivator devotes a large amount of energy to alchemy, their own cultivation will not be very high.
If the person and the house go up in smoke together, they might not be able to be saved.
Cultivating an alchemist is much more difficult than cultivating a cultivator.
Whether in terms of resources or energy input, it is very exaggerated.
If one were lost, even a large sect like the Yunhua Sect would feel very heartbroken.
After all, after that incident years ago, there was a terrifying technical gap in professions like alchemy and artifact refining.
Not only were many skills lost, but many high-level materials also faced extinction.
Some high-level medicinal herbs were still available, but no one knew how to cultivate them anymore.
They were truly things that were used up and gone!
After delivering Ye Fan, the disciple explained a few things to the manager of the public alchemy room.
After the disciple left, the manager handed Ye Fan a token with a smile.
The pattern on it was exquisite, with the character "叁" (three) encircling the Chinese character "华" (Hua).
Ye Fan exchanged a few polite words, then took the token and went to get the medicinal herbs.
With his current skill level, he didn't even need to look at the labels on the shelves.
He just needed to sniff the air and he knew what was what!
After finding a few medicinal herbs, Ye Fan went to an empty private room.
Since it was a public alchemy room, the quality of the alchemy furnaces could not be expected to be high.
Ye Fan glanced at it casually.
It was okay.
He could make do with it if he was careful.
He channeled his true qi to ignite the fire, and when the heat was almost right, Ye Fan put in the first medicinal herb.
His body instantly transformed into a high-power water pump, madly drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.
The outer surface of the alchemy furnace turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This kind of introductory pill was naturally not difficult for Ye Fan at all.
Rather than saying he was refining pills, it was more like he was adapting to his body.
For example, the degree of fine-tuning of the true qi heat, and the limit of control.
As time passed, the temperature of the alchemy furnace became higher and higher!
If it were another alchemist, they would definitely not dare to do this.
Firstly, it would cause a wasteful expenditure of true qi.
Secondly, it was too risky, and accidents were prone to happen.
It's like playing a game.
Generally speaking, 60 frames per second can make the picture very smooth.
When everyone plays, they only care about this point.
But Ye Fan was now accurate to one-hundredth, one-thousandth, or even one-ten-thousandth of a frame!
At this moment, the alchemy furnace was almost on the verge of melting!
If the temperature increased by even a little bit, it would immediately melt!
And under such intense high temperature, the melting speed of the previous medicinal herbs was naturally different from usual.
The change in the alchemy furnace's temperature and the premature melting of the medicinal herbs directly affected the timing and order of the subsequent medicinal herb additions.
And the different changes that would occur outside the standard temperature.
Just listing all the possible combinations would be enough to make some ordinary alchemists study until their hair turned white.
Only top experts like Ye Fan dared to be so willful...
In less than a quarter of an hour, a furnace of third-tier pills was completed!
And through this practical operation, Ye Fan had a general understanding of his current body.
As he had predicted, it was incredibly easy to use!
It was even more precise than his control in the past!
It was simply flawless!!!
This was the state that Ye Fan had been desperately seeking in his previous lives!
Unfortunately, in those lives, he had failed to achieve this wish even until his death.
Who would have thought.
This life, it happened unintentionally!
And under such a bizarre situation where the system had exploded...
After putting the pills into a small porcelain bottle, Ye Fan prepared to leave.
Firstly, there was nothing else to do.
Secondly, it was the smell...
One of the medicinal herbs he used emitted a slightly unpleasant odor after being heated at high temperatures.
If he had refined it according to the rules taught by his teacher, that slight odor would have been very faint.
If one didn't intentionally smell it, it would be almost imperceptible.
But he had played 'rule-breaking' just now and raised the furnace temperature too high...
The power of it had surged!
It was like placing dozens or hundreds of microwave ovens in a confined space.
Each microwave oven contained a durian...
Not only that!
He had even put several boxes of stinky socks that hadn't been washed for months into this enclosed room!!!
The smell was simply unbearable!!!
Originally, this was nothing.
But the moment Ye Fan opened the door, the smell in the entire room found an outlet!!!
The entire hall immediately erupted!
"Holy shit, what is that smell?!"
"Damn it! Who's cooking shit in the alchemy room?!"
"Quickly report to the manager, someone is openly releasing poison!"
"Brother, brother, what's wrong? Someone help, brother has fainted!"
