Half a month later, Ye Fan forcefully slapped the Alchemy Furnace, and a golden Elixir popped out from inside of it.
An odd fragrance filled the entire room.
"A low-grade Limit-Breaking Elixir, alchemist Ye, congratulations on successfully learning how to refine the Limit-Breaking Elixir."
Admiration, along with a hint of jealousy, filled the eyes of Tang Jijun.
Back in his days, it took him a whole half a year and dozens of materials to successfully refine a single Limit-Breaking Elixir.
However, it only took Ye Fan half a month, using only a few materials at that.
If he had such an aptitude, he might have had the chance to break through to the Innate Realm and extend his lifespan by decades.
"Alchemist Ye, you are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen, but you must not only focus on alchemy. Cultivation level is paramount, whether you want to refine higher-grade elixirs or live longer. Cultivation level is very important."
Tang Jijun said seriously to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Compared to Tang Jijun, Ye Fan places even more emphasis on cultivation level.
After all, no matter what skill Ye Fan acquires, it is all prepared to improve his cultivation level.
"By the way, remember to buy a renowned Alchemy Furnace. A prestigious alchemist like yourself, using this kind of furnace, is simply disgraceful to us alchemists."
Tang Jijun was very upset when he thought about Ye Fan's Alchemy Furnace.
Which alchemist is not rich? To think that an alchemist doesn't even have a decent Alchemy Furnace.
People who don't know might think alchemists are poor.
Ye Fan felt a bit awkward hearing these words.
It's not that Ye Fan didn't want to buy a good Alchemy Furnace, but that he can't find one in a short period of time.
He had asked in the Cast Iron Manor.
If you want a renowned Alchemy Furnace, you need to wait at least half a year, and even then, they might not have one in stock.
There seems to be some incident in the city. He also can't get one there.
In the end, Ye Fan could only entrust Qian Bao from Duobao Pavilion to help him buy a few pieces of ore for refining renowned artifacts.
If he couldn't buy it, he would have to refine it himself.
After acquiring the artifact refining skill, Ye Fan has not properly refined a weapon yet.
"Alchemist Ye, the materials you ordered are ready."
Just as Ye Fan was about to leave Wanlu County, Qian Bao finally brought the good news.
Looking at the three small yellow ores in his hand, Ye Fan painfully handed over a thousand silvers.
He had no choice, Ye Fan was too poor.
He had finally managed to save twenty thousand silvers in two years, and now they were drained in an instant.
Looking at the Wanlu County behind him, Ye Fan secretly swore that the next time he came back, it would be time to reap your wallets.
After a day's journey, Ye Fan returned to Changhe Town.
Having not seen it in over half a month, he greatly missed it.
"Little Tian, tomorrow set up a furnace for me at the Red Iron Mine. I'm going to refine artifacts."
Just three pieces of Yellow Mountain Iron would naturally be incapable of refining an Alchemy Furnace.
The best use of Kongtong Iron is to mix it into weapons, where it can greatly enhance the weapon's conductivity and tolerance for True Qi.
Kongtong Iron is also one of the most suitable materials for making renowned alchemy furnaces.
"Daddy, can you forge a weapon for Ball too?"
Hearing Ye Fan was going to refine a weapon, Ye Jinqiu immediately perked up.
Of course, Ye Fan could not refuse Little Cotton-padded Jacket's request.
"Then Daddy will forge a sword for Ball. How about that? Girls with swords are very graceful."
Ye Jinqiu shook her head: "Daddy, I don't want a sword."
"You don't want a sword, so how about Daddy makes you a spear? Girls with spears are also good, dashing."
Ye Jinqiu still shook her head, her mouth was all pouted up.
"Then Ball, you tell daddy, what weapon do you want."
"Daddy, I want a rod. The front end of the rod needs to be big and it should have spikes on it."
Ye Jinqiu's eyes were gleaming as she spoke.
Ye Fan's face grew increasingly grim, thinking about the weapon requirement given by Ye Jinqiu. A weapon named Wolf Fang Club popped into Ye Fan's mind.
The image of the adorable little girl waving the Wolf Fang Club, knocking children down with every swing, gave Ye Fan a chill.
Mist grass, I can't let this happen.
Ye Fan shook his head, trying desperately to rid that image from his mind.
"Balls ball, girls shouldn't be playing with such a weapon."
"Whoo whoo, Daddy's mean, not making a weapon for me."
Ye Jinqiu flung herself into Su Yan's arms.
"Husband, since the child likes it, why don't you make one for her?"
Ye Fan sighed, feeling defeated. He had no choice but to spend more effort on the weapon.
A moment later, Ye Jinhai's shriek came from the courtyard.
"You brat, this is just the beginning. Wait till the Wolf Fang Club is done, you're my first test subject."
...
This is too much!
The red iron bar was glowing from the heat. Ye Fan was hammering away at the iron bar.
A thousand hammerings make iron, ten thousand make steel.
Every weapon needs to have its impurities removed before it can be used.
Since he still didn't have the Spiritual Fire, Ye Fan had to use the most fundamental way to forge the weapon.
When the pill furnace was about to take shape, Ye Fan quickly poured the liquefied Kongtong Iron into the mold.
White smoke billowed up. After cooling down, a basketball-sized pill furnace appeared in front of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan quickly added several pieces of high-quality coal and began to circulate his True Qi, controlling the flames inside the furnace.
This time, everything went smoothly.
The feeling of stagnation while channeling the True Qi had completely disappeared.
Great, great, great!
Ye Fan laughed heartily. The renowned pill furnace was finished.
"From now on, I'll call you Fire Controller Furnace."
Ye Fan named his first renowned creation, then turned his attention to the rest of the red iron bar.
No choice, he had promised Ye Jinqiu, so he had to complete the task.
However, although he needed to make it, the method was completely up to him.
Three days later, a two-meter-long Wolf Fang Club, with a hammer head diameter of thirty centimeters and many exaggerated spikes, appeared in Ye Fan's hand.
Being made from ordinary materials, the quality of this Wolf Fang Club was naturally ordinary.
However, because Ye Fan significantly reduced the impurities within the red iron and continuously compressed it, the Wolf Fang Club reached the maximum quality of an ordinary item.
In addition, the weight of three hundred kilograms made it impossible for a regular Body Forging Realm martial artist to use this Wolf Fang Club.
"Balls balls, you can't blame me if you can't handle it."
An hour later, looking at Ye Jinqiu effortlessly swinging the Wolf Fang Club around, Ye Fan was dumbfounded.
This doesn't feel right. Not right at all.
At the sixth level of the Body Forging Realm, one should be able to lift a five hundred-kilogram Wolf Fang Club, but lifting it and using it effectively are two different things.
"Dad, I've broken through the seventh level of the Body Forging Realm."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan felt like he had been struck by lightning.
It turns out I'm the clown after all this.
"Ye Jinhai, get over here."
For half a year, Ye Fan divided his time between practicing and refining elixirs.
Ye Fan did something else during this period. He contacted the major families in Changhe Town, planning to sell the Red Iron Mine.
