Ye Tianfan didn't rush to the Cangjing Pavilion to read books, after all, he had heard that if calculated by day, it was 3,000 points per day, but if calculated by each time period, each time period would only get 300 points, which was not worth it.

  The next morning, Ye Tianfan arrived at the Scripture Pavilion. He found that the inner door of the Scripture Pavilion was just like an enlarged and refined version of the outer door's Scripture Pavilion.

  Here, there are also two people guarding the place. However, both of them have reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul period in their cultivation, and they are obviously core disciples of the inner sect, much more powerful than the Golden Core period disciples who guard the outer sect. The books inside are also much higher-level than those in the outer sect. The most powerful and highest-level book in the outer sect can only allow people to cultivate up to the late stage of the Golden Core period, without any subsequent cultivation methods after that. Moreover, most of the cultivation methods in the outer sect are recorded in books, which are easy to lose or damage. In contrast, everything in the inner sect, whether it's a cultivation manual or other types of things, is engraved on jade slips. This way, the storage capacity is large, and one jade slip can store at least as much content as three books, while taking up less space. The only possible drawback might be that it consumes spiritual energy.

  Ye Tianfan spent a day's worth of points to find jade slips about alchemy in the Cangjing Pavilion, Ye Tianfan read and recorded the contents of the jade slips onto his mind, looking at the introduction to alchemy on the jade slips, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but exclaim with excitement, he had never discovered this before.

  According to the jade slip, alchemy is popular in the cultivation world no matter where you go, because as a cultivator, no one can claim that they have never used elixirs.

  This way, alchemists are in high demand, but the current Tianqi Star still faces a situation where there are too many monks and not enough porridge. As for the great alchemy masters who can refine top-grade elixirs suitable for practitioners in the Split Spirit period, they are even rarer. At least, apart from Danling Sect, the other two major sects of Tianqi Star have at most one or two such masters.

  Danling Sect, as a sect that established its foundation on alchemy, only had four great alchemists, and one of them was an alchemy master. This alchemy master could be said to be the treasure of the sect, because an alchemy master can refine top-grade elixirs like the Tribulation Elixir, which is just a line away from being a divine elixir.

  If it weren't for Danling Sect's expertise in alchemy, making the majority of its core disciples in the Yuan Ying and Jindan stages, and regardless of whether it was those families or sects, they would all seek out Danling Sect's alchemical skills at some point. As a result, their relationships with various sects and families were quite good, which is also the main reason why the sect has stood for several thousand years, nearly ten thousand years without being destroyed.

  Of course, the main reason is still the strength of one's own military power. Otherwise, anyone will come up and take a bite.

  Upon seeing this information, Ye Tianfan felt his heart surge with excitement and made up his mind to refine the elixir well. This was not only for himself but also for his family. Ye Tianfan believed that as long as his elixir refinement skills were high enough, he could refine some elixirs to enhance his family's cultivation, and their strength would increase by at least one or two levels.

  Time flew by quickly, and before he knew it, the sky had already darkened. Ye Tianfan had just finished reading the last jade slip about alchemy, and was about to put it down when one of the gatekeeper brothers came in.

  He came before Ye Tianfan and said: "The points you paid have been used up. Do you want to pay again and continue watching or leave?"

  Upon hearing his senior brother's question, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time really passes quickly. He felt like it was just a while ago, yet a whole day had already passed. Although Ye Tianfan thought this way, he didn't hesitate to respond and respectfully said: "Senior Brother, I don't have many points left, let's wait until next time when I've accumulated enough points."

  The senior brother had an expression as if he already knew, then said to Ye Tianfan: "Then you can leave now, the time has arrived."

  Ye Tianfan nodded and then walked out of the Cangjing Pavilion, returning directly to his own room, closing the door and sorting out his thoughts.

  Firstly, one must prepare their own alchemy furnace to refine the elixir; otherwise, it is impossible to refine the elixir. Moreover, a good alchemy furnace also has the effect of increasing the success rate and quality of refining the elixir.

  Secondly, to refine the elixir, one must have the alchemical fire for refining the elixir. Below the Golden Elixir stage, only the earth's core flame can be used to refine the elixir medicine, but the earth's core flame is not easy to control and the success rate of refining the elixir is also low. However, after reaching the Golden Elixir stage, one will have their own alchemical fire. Normally, this fire is the Samadhi True Fire, but in some special cases, it may be the Variant True Fire, which generally has a greater power than the Samadhi True Fire.

  Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but feel a wave of relief. Fortunately, he had already demonstrated his Jindan period cultivation; otherwise, he might have only been able to refine pills in the scorching flames at the earth's core like those Foundation Building cultivators. Thinking about how those Foundation Building cultivators could refine pills under such conditions, Ye Tianfan still admired them somewhat. However, Ye Tianfan was not a masochist and wouldn't go looking for suffering.

  Then, and most importantly, there is the alchemy formula for refining elixirs. People often say that a good alchemy formula is no less important than a top-grade attacking spirit weapon, and as for the Dan Spirit Sect, which takes alchemy as its foundation, the importance of alchemy formulas goes without saying.

  Ye Tianfan only saw the middle-grade elixir and its refining method in this scripture pavilion, and he knew how precious the top-grade elixir formula was. In Ye Tianfan's opinion, even the entire Danling Sect didn't have many top-grade spiritual elixir refining methods, and they were definitely all held by the sect's elders and leaders. It was really too difficult to get the elixir formula from these people.

  So Ye Tianfan could only pin his hopes on Zhī Brāin, hoping that it would be able to improve and come up with a Dan formula for him. Even if it couldn't produce a top-grade Dan formula, at the very least, he hoped it would produce one of the best among mid-grade formulas, so that he himself could have some confidence in standing out from the crowd.

  Finally, what may also be the most troublesome point for most alchemists is that the materials needed to refine elixirs are increasingly precious as the grade of the elixir increases. The materials required to refine a mid-grade elixir must be at least several tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

  Tens of thousands of spirit stones are still barely acceptable for most Golden Elixir cultivators, but don't forget that it's tens of thousands of spirit stones per attempt. How many people can guarantee success in one try?

  Some people say that even if they refine it three or four times, they may not succeed once. This situation is not uncommon and there are many such cases. Therefore, many people have said that alchemists are made by being smashed with spiritual stones.

  Although the words are somewhat straightforward, the fact is indeed so, which is also why alchemy masters all appear in the sect. After all, the depth of a sect far exceeds that of an individual cultivator.

  Seeing this, Ye Tianfan also felt a bit overwhelmed. Although he had over 10 million spirit stones himself, he might not have learned anything and would have squandered all his spirit stones. It was the first time Ye Tianfan realized how poor he actually was.

  For this reason, Ye Tianfan decided to start with the Foundation Establishment Pill and Gathering Qi Powder that were suitable for foundation establishment and qi gathering. After all, the medicinal materials required for these pills were not expensive, and he could use them to practice his skills.

  Having made up his mind, Ye Tianfan no longer thought about anything else and seriously sat down to cultivate, planning to go buy a pill furnace and pill-making materials tomorrow.
