By then, he was able to refine elixirs "quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly"; yet, to reach the effortless state of Bright True Master, he still had much room for improvement.
The path of alchemy required gradual understanding, exploration, and innovation; by now, he had reached a bottleneck, and further research seemed meaningless. Moreover, higher-level elixirs drained more cultivation power and energy, and his current realm was too low to handle them; he could only refine step by step, exploring as his realm advanced.
For over twenty days, Lin Yifan stayed in the Alchemy Room, not stepping outside, oblivious to worldly affairs.
When he stepped out of the Alchemy Room, the scene outside the door was one of withered peach blossoms.
"Congratulations, Young Master Lin, on emerging enlightened from seclusion," Xiaofang came to congratulate him.
