Ye Haochuan boasts about his ability to refine Third Grade Mysterious Pills and attempts to do so using a Snow Lotus Nourishing Essence Pill recipe. Despite initial nervousness and encountering dangerous pill lightning, he successfully refines six pills. To Yin Xirou's astonishment, two of these pills are Spirit Level, a feat rarely achieved even by the South Sect's top alchemists.

Unlike Yin Xirou’s surprise, Ye Haochuan was frowning in deep thought at this moment, with a slightly dissatisfied look on his face.

Yes, he was indeed dissatisfied!

He had refined according to the method for all Spirit Level, but in the end, he only refined two Spirit Level pills. This efficiency was somewhat below his expectations.

Ordinary pills at the early stage of the third rank could only be exchanged for a hundred contribution points, whereas Spirit Level pills could be exchanged for thousands. His materials were all deducted from the spirit meals he usually concocted, and the quantity was not large. Naturally, he wanted to obtain as many contribution points as possible.

Fortunately, Yin Xirou didn’t know his thoughts, otherwise she would definitely scold Ye Haochuan for being greedy and insatiable.

While others struggled with all their might to successfully refine just one ordinary third-rank pill, this guy managed to refine six pills in one furnace, with two being Spirit Level, and he was still not satisfied?

Ye Haochuan pondered for a while, trying to identify the reason for not refining six Spirit Level pills.

In the end, he helplessly discovered that it wasn’t due to his alchemy skills being insufficient, nor the power of his flame lacking, but simply because his cultivation level was too low.

With low cultivation, the ability to suppress third-tier medicinal materials is significantly weaker.

Once medicinal materials reach the third rank, they begin to have strong instincts and will strive to break free from an alchemist’s constraints.

This force, although not comparable to cultivators or demon beasts of the same rank, is still not to be underestimated.

This True Immortal Early Stage little ant, Ye Haochuan, being able to suppress them to refine six pills was already extremely difficult, wanting to refine all into Spirit Level was absolutely impossible.

"It seems I need to find time to quickly enhance my cultivation!"

Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly, then collected his thoughts and began to restore his flower energy.

The amount of flower energy consumed in refining a Mysterious Pill was no less than an intense battle, especially in resisting the attacks of pill lightning, he almost squeezed out all the remaining flower energy.

This was because his alchemy method was relatively scientific, consuming dozens of times less than the methods from the Immortal Realm. With the Creation Dragon Origin Technique, his efficacy was hundreds of times stronger than cultivators of the same rank, barely supporting this round of third-rank Mysterious Pill refining.

Otherwise, even if he knew the refining method for third-tier Mysterious Pills, he would only be able to lament over his inadequacy.

Then he spent another half an hour to restore the depleted flower energy before starting a new round of refining.

Yin Xirou originally thought Ye Haochuan, after consuming so much energy, would definitely take time to recuperate. Who knew Ye Haochuan was so madly relentless, not stopping for even a moment.

She wanted to advise Ye Haochuan not to overwork, but the thought had just arisen before it was instantly dismissed.

"This guy is not related to me in any way, why should I worry about him being tired? He bullies me all the time, it’s better if he tires himself out!"

Yin Xirou muttered quietly in her heart, sitting comfortably on a chair beside, seriously observing Ye Haochuan’s alchemy.

She felt that every time she watched Ye Haochuan refine pills, she gained new insights into alchemy, thus becoming deeply engrossed.

The entire night passed in the cycle of Ye Haochuan refining pills and recuperating.

From being initially stunned, Yin Xirou eventually became accustomed to it.

She felt that Ye Haochuan was truly a marvel in the alchemy world, and if a furnace did not yield six pills or failed to produce several Spirit Level pills, that would be abnormal.

That night, Ye Haochuan yielded thirty-six Snow Lotus Nourishing Essence Pills, among which fifteen were Spirit Level, amounting to eighteen thousand six hundred contribution points!

This figure would certainly frighten those struggling for tasks worth over ten contribution points in the Service Hall.

It seems, tasks for a million contribution points are not that difficult after all!

For the first time since entering the South Sect, Ye Haochuan felt so close to the opportunity of entering the Central Peak Treasure Vault, a sense of excitement arising inexplicably.

Amidst the excitement, Ye Haochuan had to confront a harsh reality.

He had run out of alchemy materials!

The spirit meal ingredients in Area A were still left, enough to refine mid-stage third-rank Mysterious Pills, but he dared not try, fearing the pill lightning might strike him dead.

He could only rely on these Snow Lotus Nourishing Essence Pills from Area B for now.

However, the medicinal materials supplied by Area B were limited daily, and the pills he refined today already used up three to four days’ worth of surplus materials from Area B.

At this rate, it would take him about two to three hundred days to gather enough pills to reach a million contribution points.

This speed would drop the jaws of everyone in the South Sect, but for Ye Haochuan, it was still too slow.

"You are in charge of the West Peak Treasure Vault, can you lend me some medicinal materials..."

After pondering for a while, Ye Haochuan finally turned his hopeful gaze to Yin Xirou.

Yin Xirou, who was still recalling every step of Ye Haochuan’s alchemy, immediately replied with a serious demeanor: "This is impossible! I would never do anything to line my own pockets!"

Moreover, every medicinal material in the West Peak is registered. Other than the portion used for spirit meals, I don’t have the authority to touch even one!"

Hearing Yin Xirou’s firm words, Ye Haochuan’s last hope was instantly shattered.

Third-tier herbs are extremely precious, each requiring hundreds or thousands of superior red crystals.

Even if he robbed Fang Hai and others for red crystals, it might not be enough to gather recipes for a few pills.

While Ye Haochuan was contemplating numerous strategies, the Message Jade Slip suddenly rang.

He took it out and sensed it, the other party only conveyed two words.

"Help me!"

Ye Haochuan frowned slightly and checked the sender’s information, feeling a bit puzzled.

"It turned out to be Ye Hongmao? Could it be that the pills are used up? No way, before I came to the South Sect, I had already given him an extra three months’ supply of pills!"

Ye Haochuan couldn’t understand, besides the pill issue, what other reason would this guy have to ask him for help.

Given Ye Hongmao’s biased nature, if there was really something needing assistance, he should be looking for Ye Yixuan and Ye Hechan, not him, the most disobedient "son."

Ye Haochuan tried responding with an inquiry, but the other party never replied.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Ye Haochuan’s strange behavior, Yin Xirou inquired.

"Nothing, something came up at home, I might need to go back and handle it!"

Ye Haochuan said as he packed up all his alchemy tools.

Actually, he could totally skip this trip, after all, his ultimate purpose of utilizing the Ye Family had been achieved.

However, he was still concerned about Cao Songtai, this "grandfather" who passed on the Ghostly Thunder Escape Art to him. If anything happened to him because Ye Haochuan wouldn’t go, it would be ungrateful of him.

"Do you need any help?"

Yin Xirou naturally offered.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a strange sensation.

Since when have I been so eager to help others? Wasn’t I always following the principle of fewer complications?

It must be that I’ve gained too much from this guy, wanting to reciprocate in a different way.

Yes, it must be!

Yin Xirou comforted herself internally.
