The fourth stage of the Alchemy Realm assessnt is finally different from the first three stages.
It’s not the difference in the exam questions, but the distinction in the assessnt direction.
The first three stages examine the Pill Refiner’s foundational skills, from the dicinal ingredients, pill principles, to various details of pill refinent, all included.
In summary, it is about creating one’s own pill formula.
Creating one’s own pill formula is sothing only a Grandmaster or one with exceptional talent can achieve.
For ordinary Pill Refiners, even just the first three stages are a barrier that might take many years to overco.
Luo Chen thinks to himself that even if his foundation is solid, without the system’s assistance to filter and verify, relying solely on his own derivation and trial-and-error would require more than just six or seven years.
Whether it is the Spiritual Root Pill Formula or the Demon Soul Pill Formula, these are tasks that ordinary Pill Refiners would spend several decades or even their entire lives trying to derive without success.
He’s taken a shortcut, which is how he arrived at the fourth stage ahead of the Sea Corner Tianmu.
Unexpectedly, this fourth stage is even "simpler" than he imagined!
"Is it testing the pill refinent technique?"
Luo Chen chuckled softly, feeling more relaxed.
He has to say, for soone with enhancent tools like him, the Alchemy Realm assessnt is as smooth as walking on a flat path!
The first three stages may have caused him imnse trouble due to the need to create his own pill formula. But this evidently harder fourth stage is nothing to him.
With specific pill formulas available, even if it is a Fourth Order elixir, as long as he’s willing to spend Achievent Points, regardless of the difficulty, he can easily beco a beginner.
Especially!
He himself is a Fourth Order Pill Refiner, and for pill formula beginners at the sa order, the consumption of Achievent Points is fixed at ten points.
And currently on his panel, he still has plenty of Achievent Points.
"But, I can’t use them carelessly."
Luo Chen closed his eyes, carefully savoring the three Fourth Order pill formulas transmitted from that voice just now.
Demon Transformation Pill, Monster Transformation Pill, Human Transformation Pill...
According to the descriptions on the pill formulas, the elixirs refined according to the formulas could, when ingested by the user, perfectly transform their form.
Demons turn into monsters, monsters beco human, humans beco demons.
It’s truly a marvelous concept.
What astonishes Luo Chen the most is that the so-called Human Transformation Pill gives him a sense of familiarity, seven to eight tenths similar.
"Transforming Pill?"
After so contemplation, Luo Chen couldn’t help but nod.
Indeed, this Human Transformation Pill is almost identical to the Transforming Pill given to him by the Cangwu Mountain Youquan Demon Emperor in his mories.
Except for a small number of auxiliary ingredients, the biggest difference is in the main ingredient.
The main ingredient of Cangwu’s Transforming Pill is Nascent Soul True Master’s Nascent Soul Essence Blood, while the main ingredient of this fourth stage’s Human Transformation Pill is replaced by a Fourth Order Spirit dicine called Curved Infant Fruit.
"Can Curved Infant Fruit substitute Nascent Soul Essence Blood? How co I’ve never seen a similar description in the classics?"
Unlike those unfamiliar dicinal materials, Luo Chen recognizes the Curved Infant Fruit, which exists in the Mountain Sea Realm.
But its description doesn’t relate to Nascent Soul at all.
In other words, if this fruit can substitute Nascent Soul Essence Blood, it’s either due to its untapped efficacy discovered by cultivators from the Mountain Sea Realm, or it’s a special effect triggered by the combination of other auxiliary materials.
For a mont, Luo Chen restrained his impulse to directly beco a beginner using the system and instead cald his mind to carefully research this pill formula.
He had once successfully refined a batch of Transforming Pills. If he could thoroughly research the new pill formula, he could save ten Achievent Points anyway.
"Those three Physique Training pill formulas that I beca a beginner with earlier cost thirty Achievent Points, sowhat wastefully."
Luo Chen glanced at the remaining two hundred seventy Achievent Points on the system and estimated whether there would be enough for the next assessnts.
However, thinking about managing to pass the third stage ahead of Sea Corner Tianmu and putting psychological pressure on the opponent, those thirty Achievent Points were worth it.
Next, within his capabilities, he should save wherever he can.
Because Luo Chen is also unsure whether there’s a fifth stage or a sixth stage after the fourth stage...
...
Within the Alchemy Realm, dicinal materials are nurous.
Overall, these materials seem to be prepared specifically for the pill formulas on the exam questions.
Before, Luo Chen tried to extra pick so of the dicinal materials from the first few stages and put them in the storage ring, attempting to take them away.
But he found that every ti he progressed to a new stage, the dicinal materials in the storage ring would disappear into thin air, as if they had never existed.
Only the elixirs he crafted for the assessnt could be retained.
As of now, there are a total eight types of elixirs added to his storage ring.
These are First Order Five Viscera Nourishing Pill, First Order Snow Spirit Vein-Opening Powder, Second Order Spiritual Root Pill, Third Order Di Qi Pill, Third Order Dang Hun Pill, Third Order Stone Skin Pill, Thunderbone Pill, and rcury Blood Pill.
The quantities are limited, and the orders aren’t high.
But they are extrely comprehensive!
Especially, even if the elixirs refined can’t be replicated in the outer world, they still brought imnse inspiration to Luo Chen.
If he could slightly improve one or two pill formulas to make them applicable to the Mountain Sea Realm, perhaps it could elevate Luo Chen’s cultivation level.
Not to ntion the Dang Hun Pill crafted for the Demon Clan, if improved for his personal use, it must provide great benefits to his Divine Soul Endownt!
While the divine soul might not expand, refining it one or two degrees is still possible.
Of course, currently Luo Chen doesn’t have the ti to improve those pill formulas.
He’s been in the Land of Fallen Demons for a full eight years!
According to Tai Sui, usually the portals of the Land of Fallen Demons remain open for about forty to fifty years.
But this ti, the portal opening evidently happened earlier.
Because Jiao Emperor Liu Jun took control of Triple Pillar Gorge, causing changes in the Oblivion Sea Great Array, opening the Land of Fallen Demons early.
Therefore, no one knows when the Land of Fallen Demons will close.
Luo Chen must hurry to complete the Alchemy Realm assessnt.
Otherwise, staying there would lead to unknown consequences, which would be troubleso.
