Three years later.

Yuan Dynasty, Yongquan Mountain, alchemy room.

Liu Yu sat cross-legged, with a focused expression and a highly concentrated mind, and slowly pinched the magic formula with both hands.

Not far in front of him, the Xuanhuang Cauldron trembled slightly, and the elixir fire in the fire door burned blazingly, releasing blazing heat.

The temperature in the alchemy room increased by more than dozens of degrees, and the breeze in the air was extremely hot.

If the alchemy room hadn't been specially built, it would have been destroyed long ago.

The solemn expression and the trembling alchemy furnace all indicate that the alchemy process has reached a critical moment, and any sloppiness may lead to wasted effort!

Powerful spiritual consciousness spread out, and Liu Yu always paid attention to the movements in the alchemy cauldron, trying to avoid any mistakes.

Every change in the alchemy cauldron was caught in his eyes, and he skillfully controlled the entire process with the alchemy skills he had learned from countless practices.

The elixir fire in the fire gate turned from strong to weak, and the temperature dropped slightly. As time passed, a medicinal fragrance gradually filled the air.

"about there."

This thought flashed across Liu Yu's mind.

His rich experience in alchemy allowed him to judge that the final step of alchemy and the best time to open the furnace was about to come.

Although the alchemy was coming to an end, Liu Yu's expression did not change at all.

The more critical the moment, the easier it is to make mistakes. He suffered a lot in this last step.

Now, I can face it calmly.

After all, even if you fail, there are countless opportunities to try again.

"open!"

After another two or three breaths, the magic in Liu Yu's hand changed, and the golden and red elixir fire in the fire gate suddenly went out.

At the same time, the lid of the Xuanhuang Cauldron suddenly rose.

In the alchemy room, the scent of the medicine suddenly became stronger and became very obvious.

Liu Yu looked up and saw seven marble-sized, milky-white Peiyuan Pills floating quietly inside the Xuanhuang Cauldron.

"It's done."

He stretched out his hand and seven Pei Yuan Pills fell into his hands. After confirming that they were all good quality, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

With a thought in Liu Yu's mind, the storage ring in her right hand flashed with inspiration, and a jade bottle appeared in her hand, and she put all the seven newly refined Yuan Yuan Pills into the jade bottle.

Then he stretched out his hand to fish it out again and took the other two jade bottles beside him in his hands. After looking at them for a while, he felt very good.

"Ten elixir-making materials were finally made into three furnaces, and twenty-two Peiyuan Pills were obtained."

"Based on this, the success rate of refining this elixir by myself has reached 30%."

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

The difficulty of refining the third-level "spiritual elixir" is at least several times that of the second-level elixir.

In the first two of these three years, he earned spiritual stones by refining a large number of second-level elixirs, and at the same time honed his alchemy skills, finally getting closer to his alchemy attainments.

The success rate of refining second-level elixirs such as Jing Yuan Dan and Yang Yuan Dan has officially reached an astonishing 50%.

After that, he started refining the third-level low-grade Peiyuan Pill.

However, after hundreds of failures, the success rate of refining the Yuan Pei Dan was finally increased to 30% in recent days.

"Yes, everything is developing in the expected direction."

"The success rate of refining Peiyuan Dan has reached 30%, which marks that I have taken another solid step towards the realm of "alchemy master"."

"As long as the success rate of two more third-level elixirs reaches 30%, you will be a veritable master of alchemy."

Liu Yu thought silently as he put the three bottles of Pei Yuan Dan into the storage bag and packed up the alchemy site.

"It's a pity that my alchemy skills will never see the light of day."

"Revealing that you can refine second-level high-grade elixirs is already your limit."

"If we could directly sell third-level spiritual elixirs, the speed of earning spiritual stones would be five or six times faster."

Standing up, he sighed softly and shook his head.

To refine elixirs of level three or above, you must use 500-year-old elixirs.

But the five-hundred-year-old spiritual grass and elixir are not ordinary items, and they are enough to attract the attention of the golden elixir monks.

On the surface, he did not purchase enough five-hundred-year-old elixirs to practice. If he suddenly revealed that he could refine third-level elixirs, he would not be described as "somewhat talented".

The gap between the second level and the third level can no longer be explained by the simple word "genius" when there are not enough spiritual herbs and it is wasted for practicing.

If it were a "monster" it would be fine.

Golden elixir monks are not simple people. If their third-level alchemy skills are exposed, it is impossible to fool them.

Therefore, if Liu Yu wants to earn spiritual stones, he still has to sell second-level elixirs honestly, and third-level elixirs will never see the light of day.

If you want to "wash your hands", you have to make a show of it and buy some 500-year-old spiritual herbs on the market one after another to practice your skills.

But now that he has just been promoted, it is normal for him to spend all his money refining his natal magic weapon. Where can he find such a sum of spiritual stones to further his alchemy attainments?

Therefore, at least in the next one or two hundred years, Liu Yu will not be able to reveal his third-level alchemy skills, otherwise it will be impossible to explain.

"Rumble"

The formation is activated, and the stone gate slowly rises.

After cleaning up the alchemy room, Liu Yu confirmed that nothing was missing and went out.

"My maid pays homage to the young master."

The three maids headed by Wen Caiyi quickly bowed and saluted when their master emerged from seclusion.

"Um."

"Is there something important?"

Liu Yu nodded lightly, sat on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup, and asked casually.

"Master Qi, it has been three years since the first batch of disciples entered the academy."

"Today is the day when the first batch of disciples from other colleges will take their graduation exams."

"Uncle Sun and Uncle Ma have received news that everything is ready. We only need to give the Young Master's order and the graduation examination can begin immediately."

Standing by the side, Wen Caiyi whispered softly.

"Well, I really should go and take a look at the graduation examination of the first batch of disciples in the branch."

"In that case, let's take a shower and change clothes."

"Let those juniors wait first."

Liu Yu waved her hand, signaling the two maids to stop pinching their feet and backs, and said calmly.

Then he got up and walked towards the bathroom.

"Yes, sir."

Wen Caiyi took the order in a low voice and followed step by step.

Because there were hundreds of monks waiting for him, Liu Yu speeded up his bathing and changing clothes this time.

Well, it’s more than ten breaths faster.

…

At the foot of Yongquan Mountain is a stretch of buildings.

The architecture is full of the characteristics of Chu State, and after three years, it has become much more perfect.

A high wall surrounds the buildings, as if dividing the two worlds.

Within the walls, you can live a carefree life in a separate courtyard. You don’t have to worry about it every day, and you can enjoy the afternoon sunshine leisurely.

Outside the wall, there is a cruel and deceitful world of immortality. A little carelessness can lead to death.

On this day, hundreds of monks were silent on the campus in the center of the branch.

The disciples from other courtyards who entered the school three years ago have been waiting for a long time.

Suddenly, a burst of suffocating and powerful spiritual pressure appeared, shrouding the hearts of all the monks, bringing unparalleled terror.

However, the spiritual pressure only flashes away and disappears in the next moment, otherwise most monks would have to show their ugly faces.

Then a bright blue light appeared from the top of the mountain and quickly approached the foot of the mountain.

"It's Master Qingyang!"

Many old disciples in the crowd exclaimed.

The new disciples, on the other hand, were full of awe. After three years of study, they already knew what the Golden Elixir Stage was like.

That is a height that 99% of monks cannot reach!
