Under these circumstances, the reputation of the Ogami Clan began to spread throughout the ninja world.
The Ogami Clan disciples gradually entered the public eye, with the most famous among the new generation being Mou, who became a core disciple upon joining.
Initially, while the members of the Ogami Clan were happy for Mou, they did not consider themselves inferior to him despite his rapid progress in cultivation.
However, this perception changed dramatically after just two years.
In the first two years, Mou dedicated himself to intensive training and, like Asahi, rarely ventured outside.
This led to him gradually fading from public view.
Some even speculated that Mou might be unable to cultivate properly or had low potential, viewing him as a significant misstep by Asahi.
However, when Mou emerged from his seclusion a year ago, the entire Ogami Clan was shocked.
Mou had attained near-Jonin-level strength upon his reappearance.
Despite lacking contribution points, which limited him to basic ninjutsu without powerful secret techniques, this did not diminish the astonishment of others.
Achieving near-Jonin strength in just two years within the Ogami Clan was an accomplishment that even Nagato and others had not achieved.
Of course, the training conditions back then were not as favorable as they are now, but this did not lessen the admiration for Mou.
Moreover, what surprised everyone even more was that Mou, upon coming out of training, did not rush to undertake missions but chose to seek revenge instead.
In just one day, Mou returned to the Ogami Clan covered in blood. He was eerily calm.
After returning, Mou knelt silently before the central hall, expressing his gratitude to Asahi. The others saw Mou's actions but did not know how to respond.
Asahi, seated in the hall, gazed steadily in the direction of the door. It seemed as though his gaze could penetrate the door and see the kneeling Mou outside.
Asahi understood Mou's intentions and did not intervene, though the compassion in his eyes was unmistakable.
While others were unaware, Asahi knew the truth. His disciple, over the past two years, had hardly taken a day off.
On the day he joined, Mou had requested a reusable recovery seal tag from Asahi. Whenever his body could no longer endure the strain, he would use it.
Although the recovery effect was excellent, it was not an invincible method. Over time, Mou's spirit became increasingly exhausted.
Yet, he persevered, maintaining this intense training regimen for two full years.
If not for Asahi occasionally knocking him unconscious to force rest, Mou might have collapsed before completing his training.
This relentless determination was why Mou's progress had been so rapid, despite his talent not being considered top-tier.
After kneeling for half an hour, Mou finally couldn't hold back his tears. It seemed he was venting all the frustrations he had bottled up over the past few years.
As time passed, Mou eventually couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed with a thud on the plaza before the central hall.
Seeing this, the observing Ogami Clan members instinctively moved to help, but before they could take action, the doors of the hall slowly opened, stopping them in their tracks.
As the doors opened, Asahi walked out and approached the unconscious Mou.
Gently lifting the young man onto his back, Asahi realized that the once frail boy had grown into a strong young man.
From that day forward, Mou seemed to be on a meteoric rise.
Despite going on missions every day, his training progressed at an astonishing rate, reaching new heights daily.
Now, Mou was on the verge of reaching Kage level. Asahi understood that this was due to Mou resolving his inner turmoil.
However, Asahi wasn't paying attention to the rumors spreading through the ninja world.
At that moment, he was sitting in the core alchemy room of the Pharma Department, intently focused on the cauldron before him.
In the past three years, aside from his monthly teaching and answering disciples' questions, Asahi spent all his time studying medicine, forging, and sealing crafting.
Despite the short period, his formidable strength and remarkable talent had yielded significant results.
Everything from the cauldron he was using, to the robes he wore, and many items in the clan's treasury were crafted by Asahi himself.
Now was the time to test his alchemical prowess.
As Asahi's hands continuously formed seals, the flames under the cauldron fluctuated accordingly.
Gradually, a fragrant aroma wafted from the cauldron, even permeating outside the soundproof alchemy room.
The fragrant scent caused everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion to stop what they were doing.
Even those in the critical stages of their work preferred to ruin a cauldron of ingredients rather than miss this rare event.
After all, while pills could be made anytime, witnessing Asahi opening a furnace was a rare opportunity.
It's worth noting that the Ogami Clan no longer lacked medicinal ingredients.
Clan members collected large amounts of herbs and materials during missions to exchange for contribution points.
Because of the excellent soundproofing of the alchemy room, the gathered members outside could only quietly discuss what kind of pill Asahi was making.
The scent alone was invigorating, indicating it was something extraordinary.
Over the past three years, Asahi not only crafted high-level equipment but also produced top-tier pills.
Even the Chakra Supplementing Pills, used to replenish chakra, were vastly superior to those they crafted.
According to the descriptions in the General Principles of Pharma, if they were able to produce a "good quality" pill, then Asahi's pills were of "top tier quality."
The difference in their effects was clear. Their pills might help a Kage-level ninja restore a portion of their chakra.
However, one of Asahi's pills could instantly fully restore all of a Kage-level ninja's chakra and even improve their level.
Of course, this had a lot to do with the superior quality of the ingredients Asahi used.
Even the best alchemist couldn't create miracles with subpar ingredients. What the others didn't know was that Asahi only revealed his best pills.
All the failed ones were tucked away in his sleeve dimension, gathering dust. He wouldn't bring those out unless necessary.
After all, as the leader of the Ogami Clan, he had to maintain his reputation.
Despite the buzz outside, Asahi remained completely focused, calmly controlling the formation of the pills in the cauldron.
As time passed, the fragrance from the cauldron became more potent and pure.
Finally, as the cauldron trembled slightly, a unique wave of energy emanated from it. Seeing this, Asahi's face lit up with joy. He knew he had succeeded.
When the cauldron opened, nine azure pills floated out under Asahi's control.
Without hesitation, Asahi took out nine jade pill bottles and carefully stored each pill in a separate bottle.
The five-grade Mind Focusing Pills were complete!
According to the General Principles of Medical, pills are categorized into nine grades of normal pills and higher-grade pills.
Each grade of pill is further divided into substandard, lower, middle, good, excellent, and top qualities.
Higher-grade pills were beyond his current reach, achievable only by those who had reached the level of God.
For ordinary people, the highest attainable level in alchemy was the nine-grade pills.
Although Asahi could dominate the Naruto world, his level was still average in the broader multiverse.
Without a powerful cultivation base, producing five-grade pills was his limit. Even achieving good quality was the best he could do due to his current strength limitations.
In the Naruto world, good-quality five-grade pills were already the pinnacle.
As for six-grade pills, Asahi would have to wait until he reached the transcendence level to attempt them.
Although five-grade pills might not be significant in the wider multiverse, in the Naruto world, they were akin to divine pills.
These pills, made from countless precious spiritual herbs, could not only enhance mental concentration but also help one comprehend laws.
It can be said that Asahi chose to expend countless spiritual herbs to refine this batch of pills to accelerate his cultivation breakthrough.
Due to Yudra's influence, Asahi now felt a sense of urgency.
However, despite his desire to quickly improve his cultivation, he planned to use only three of the nine pills.
After all, the human body can develop a resistance to such substances, and their effectiveness diminishes with overuse.
Moreover, the materials required to refine Mind Focusing Pills were very hard to come by.
The remaining six Mind Focusing Pills could help six peak Kage-level ninjas break through to the Six Paths level.
Storing the nine bottles of pills, Asahi stood up slowly. He was well aware of the people gathered outside the Pharma room.
Since he neither put on airs as the clan leader nor wished to, the Ogami Clan members had gotten over their initial nervousness around him.
Nowadays, they could greet him casually when they met. Despite this casual atmosphere, their respect for Asahi hadn't diminished in the slightest.
Asahi appreciated this balance.
Therefore, he didn't use a spatial technique to leave the pharma room, which might have seemed dismissive, but instead opened the door and walked out directly.
As soon as he emerged, a flurry of questions arose. Although the crowd wasn't large, their curiosity was evident in their loud inquiries.
Most of their questions centered around the pills Asahi had just refined.
He provided a general explanation but withheld some details, saying, "I will place these pills in the clan's treasury. You can check their effects and even exchange for them if you wish."
With that, Asahi prepared to leave, intending to place six of the pills in the clan's treasury.
Even though they were only five-grade pills and three years had passed, none of the members had yet chosen to exchange for the second part of the manuals.
It wasn't because they lacked contribution points but because they hadn't fully mastered the first part.
This demonstrated that Yudra's selection of Asahi was correct, and Asahi indeed possessed strong talent.
In three years, he had gained a considerable understanding of the various manuals.
This was largely due to his powerful cultivation and mental strength.
It's akin to a university student learning elementary school material—it's quite manageable.
Because the members hadn't moved on to the second part of the manuals, they only knew the name "Mind Focusing Pills."
After all, the first part of the manuals didn't cover five-grade pills in detail. Even three-grade pills were only briefly mentioned.
Although the members were curious, seeing that Asahi was about to leave, they suppressed their questions and watched him go.
However, they silently resolved to head to the Mission Pavilion soon to check out the details of the Mind Focusing Pills newly placed in the clan's treasury.
If possible, they even considered exchanging for one, as the pill's name suggested it would aid in the growth of their strength and cultivation.
Though they knew their contribution points were likely insufficient, the hope of gaining firsthand information motivated them to at least try.
But when they finally saw the detailed description of the Mind Focusing Pills, their hearts sank. The pills were indeed powerful and highly coveted.
The contribution points required for the exchange were substantial but not overwhelmingly discouraging.
However, the prerequisite conditions were a major blow.
To exchange for a Mind Focusing Pill, one had to be at the peak of Kage-level strength and be able to permanently maintain Sage Mode.
Reaching the peak of Kage level was challenging but achievable with hard work within the Ogami Clan.
However, permanently maintaining Sage Mode was exceedingly difficult.
To qualify for Sage Mode, one must first become an inner disciple, which itself requires a significant number of contribution points.
Though tough, becoming an inner disciple was possible with effort; several members had already achieved this status.
For those inner disciples with sufficient strength, the contribution points weren't a major issue.
The real hurdle was the time required to permanently master Sage Mode.
Even after more than ten years, Asahi's disciples still needed considerable time to achieve permanent Sage Mode.
This made the conditions for exchanging for the Mind Focusing Pills particularly daunting.
