Thinking about it is one thing, but that was merely a superficial statement from Guang Jingfu. Ye Feng did not doubt the abilities of this Alchemy master, but the Stone Cauldron in front of him felt rather unimpressive! He weakly asked, "Senior, if you had enough materials, how many Mystic Heaven Pills could you produce?"
Upon hearing this, Guang Jingfu was momentarily taken aback before gritting his teeth and saying, "Look at the time! If you give me ample time and sufficient materials, the quantity would be beyond calculation!"
Ye Feng was secretly astonished. The Nine Nether Divine Tree Fragments he had accumulated inside the Cauldron were as plentiful as a small hill. Just how terrifying would the quantity be if he managed to refine them all successfully?
While he was pondering this, Guang Jingfu seemed to sense something unusual about him and spoke up, "I say, you seem a bit strange today. Back then, you wouldn't even decide to follow me to the Alchemy Hall for secluded training. Now you're rushing over to ask for my help. Come on, what's going on?"
Ye Feng revealed an awkward smile; it was indeed impossible to hide anything from this senior. He cleared his throat and hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to articulate his request. First, he worried that the materials from the Nine Nether Divine Tree inside the Cauldron were too rare and might attract others' covetous eyes.
Second, he was concerned that this master might refuse him; after all, why would someone go out of their way to help with such a laborious task?
However, having already approached him, Ye Feng certainly couldn't remain silent. He cautiously gathered his thoughts and slowly said, "Senior, I do have some matters I wish to ask of you. You probably guessed it; I want to request your help with Alchemy!"
"Hey! What's the big deal? Why are you hiding it like a woman? Are you afraid I won't agree? Is that how you see me? Kid, you're not being straightforward!" Guang Jingfu responded readily. Before Ye Feng could express his surprise, Guang Jingfu changed his tone and pretended to be sly.
"However, I do have a condition. If you want Old Man to help you with Alchemy, you must become my disciple! How about it? You can't always rely on Old Man's help; eventually, you'll have to do it yourself!"
Such a request was reasonable enough. Ye Feng didn't think for long before nodding vigorously in agreement. He had long wanted to learn Alchemy but lacked a good teacher. Having the Alchemy classics and the Heaven and Earth Four Element Cauldron within him was not enough!
As the saying goes, a master leads one through the door; personal cultivation is up to the individual. If Ye Feng truly wanted to shine on the path of Alchemy, he needed someone to guide him! Perhaps Guang Jingfu was the most suitable choice!
This Alchemy master with high status in the Sky Abyss Empire naturally held a significant rank and was certainly much better than the royal Alchemists of the Northern Jin Kingdom! Ye Feng immediately clasped his fists and performed a bow of apprenticeship.
Guang Jingfu was delighted to take on such an exceptionally talented disciple as Ye Feng and couldn't help but beam with joy as he said, "Go on, go on! What kind of elixir do you want me to refine for you?"
In his view, with the realm that Ye Feng was currently displaying, an Essence-Enhancing Pill would probably suffice. However, Ye Feng directly stated, "Master, I want Mystic Heaven Pills, countless Mystic Heaven Pills, or even better ones!"
Upon hearing this, Guang Jingfu's smile instantly froze. His body stiffened as he looked at Ye Feng as if he were an idiot. What? Did this kid just say what I think he said? I must have misheard.
He could never imagine that Ye Feng's true realm was not much different from his own. As for the Essence-Enhancing Pill, that was just something to be tossed aside; only the Mystic Heaven Pill had some effect for warriors in the Xuanwu Realm!
Eventually, looking at the serious Ye Feng, Guang Jingfu said with great difficulty, "Disciple, can't we start off small? Not to mention that I can only refine no more than a hundred Mystic Heaven Pills for the Sect in a year, you come here asking for countless ones and even better ones. Can you tell me what you need them for?"
"With your current cultivation level, having these would be useless!" His words were filled with earnestness. Ye Feng had already anticipated this reaction!
Thus, he gritted his teeth and then focused his gaze, fully unleashing his realm! The aura of a peak mid-stage Xuanwu Realm warrior spread out, instantly stirring up dust on the ground and creating a powerful wind!
"Hiss!" Guang Jingfu gasped in disbelief as he looked at Ye Feng before him, seemingly unable to believe that this was the same disciple from earlier. He completely lost his composure and muttered incoherently, "You! You! You! What on earth did you take!"
Just like Qianjizi and Zhu Feng initially thought, such a drastic increase in realm must have been due to some pill with severe side effects. However, Ye Feng's aura gradually calmed down while that powerful internal energy continued to flow. Finally, from his tranquil eyes, Guang Jingfu saw the truth!
"You actually grew to this extent! My God! No wonder you refused to join any of the halls! With your strength, apart from the elders and the sect master who rarely leave the Inner Sect mountains, there’s no one who can teach you! You could directly become a Core Disciple!"
Hearing similar words as those from Qianjizi and others, Ye Feng sighed. He was too lazy to emphasize his thoughts again and simply said slowly, "Senior, I have my considerations. I came to find you today to tell you that there is still much I want to learn. You and many other Hall Masters have abundant experience and knowledge that I need to learn!"
"Alright then, but even so, disciple—oh no, Ye Feng!" Guang Jingfu realized that this guy could completely rival his own strength and didn’t want to suppress him any longer as a master. He helplessly said, "It's not that I don't want to help you; you heard me earlier!"
"Refining Mystic Heaven Pills isn't too difficult. With my ability, I can achieve an eighty percent success rate each time. The problem lies in the most challenging aspect of Alchemy: acquiring materials is not easy!"
"The materials for one Mystic Heaven Pill may not be many but are extremely precious. Some come from snow lotuses on Tianshan Mountain; others come from the evil waters deep in the abyss. The sourcing of these materials often comes at the cost of one's life; if one is not careful, they could lose their life and fail to refine the pill!"
"You know, every year, our Heavenly Mechanism Sect sacrifices disciples in the double digits just to gather materials! So it's not that I don't want to help, but rather, I'm powerless!" Guang Jingfu said, letting out a deep sigh. In his view, if he had enough resources, he could use his years of experience and mastery of Alchemy to produce countless pills, making the Heavenly Mechanism Sect even stronger!
However, Ye Feng had already considered this issue. Still, he was contemplating whether to explain everything to the senior in front of him; after all, he had plenty of materials! But in the end, to avoid drawing attention to himself, he said, "Senior, I do have some materials; I just hope you can help me refine them and teach me in the process!"
"Oh? You have materials?" Guang Jingfu asked with slight surprise. In his opinion, without a team’s strength, Ye Feng should find it difficult to acquire the materials needed for refining the Mystic Heaven Pill. However, he was unaware that one of the focal points of Titan's Abyss held an inexhaustible treasure!
Ye Feng didn't elaborate further and directly summoned some fragments of the Nine Nether Divine Tree from Inside the Cauldron. When he brought out the Four-Element Cauldron, he didn't hide it from Guang Jingfu. Guang Jingfu was somewhat astonished by the peculiarities of the Four-Element Cauldron, but what shocked him even more were the items Ye Feng had summoned!
"What! What is this! Ye Feng! You—tell me quickly, where did you get these branches?" Guang Jingfu exclaimed. As a master immersed in Alchemy for many years, he immediately sensed the magical power contained within those branches! If these were used as materials along with some other items, perhaps they could indeed refine a pill that surpassed the Mystic Heaven Pill!
But Ye Feng naturally wouldn't answer that question. He glanced awkwardly at Guang Jingfu, expressing his attitude through his expression!
Guang Jingfu was momentarily stunned before chuckling. Indeed, how could one easily reveal the source of such treasures? He realized he had gotten overly excited and failed to understand such a simple principle!
"Senior, I’m sorry I can’t tell you more. However, I do have quite a few of these. If you can help me refine them and teach me Alchemy techniques in return, we can split the results seventy-thirty!" Ye Feng thought for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and making this suggestion.
A seventy-thirty split for the refined pills was already Ye Feng's bottom line. In his view, considering how precious the materials were for refining pills, what Guang Jingfu would do would be worth what he received!
Yet what Guang Jingfu said next left Ye Feng utterly astonished!
"Ah, kid, no need to say more. I'll help you refine them for free; you don’t have to give me any pills. I can assure you that with this material, I can refine Mystic Heaven Pills one hundred percent. I can't guarantee the quantity, but the quality will definitely not be lacking!"
"Senior, this... I can't just let you do it for nothing..." Ye Feng began to disagree!
Guang Jingfu waved his hand, interrupting his speech, "No need to say more! I understand what you want. The Old Man has been stuck in the mid-stage of the Xuanwu Realm for many years, and his greatest hope in this life is to break through the bottleneck of Alchemy. The realm of a martial artist is no longer that important to me, so I don't need the Mystic Heaven Pill!"
"Just the experience accumulated from refining these is already wealth for an Alchemist! Let me tell you, the progress and upgrade of Alchemy completely depend on the number and quality of pills he refines!"
"This means that as long as more and better pills are refined, Alchemy can become more mature and refined?" Ye Feng understood this.
Guang Jingfu nodded, "You should learn from me. Pay attention to my techniques while I refine. I will also pass my Alchemy skills to you, but this teaching is merely a mnemonic; to achieve great success, you must practice on your own!"
"I understand! Thank you, Master!" Regardless of anything else, Guang Jingfu's generosity was enough to impress Ye Feng!
Next came the time for Alchemy. Before this, Ye Feng had considered whether to use the Four-Element Cauldron instead of Guang Jingfu's Stone Cauldron. However, for some reason, he wanted to see how Guang Jingfu could refine perfect pills using such an ordinary Alchemy furnace!
"Kid, don't blink! First, the Old Man will pass the mnemonic of Alchemy to you! Pay close attention!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng focused his mind. Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind; it wasn't Xuan Lao's voice but Guang Jingfu forcibly transmitting Vital Energy!
"Alchemy is formless! It is an eighth-level skill! From the cauldron's refining, nature follows its course; everything has its nature. By mixing and merging them, one can achieve different forms! The lower form is a pill, the intermediate form is medicine, and the high form is a dan! High-grade dan requires high-grade materials! Fire God Zhu Rong holds supreme methods to create supreme dan!"
