"Only nine?"
He frowned slightly.
According to the Alchemy Legacy, a perfect batch of this pill should produce eighteen pills.
He had only managed to produce half of that amount.
However, when he examined the pills more carefully, his expression changed.
"Perfect Quality?"
All nine pills had reached Perfect Quality.
Ji Tianyou smiled.
Although the quantity was lower than expected, the quality of every pill was perfect.
"Not bad."
He had only just started practicing alchemy, yet he was already capable of refining Perfect-Quality pills.
"Maybe I really have some talent for alchemy."
Ji Tianyou nodded and continued refining.
He spent the rest of the day practicing.
By the end of the day, he had refined more than thirty bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, with each bottle containing ten pills.
Among them, more than two hundred pills were Perfect Quality, while the rest were High Quality.
Ji Tianyou looked at the bottles and nodded with satisfaction.
"This is great."
He continued practicing with other Tier 1 pill formulas.
Soon, he successfully refined several other pills as well.
Among them were Clear Heart Pills, Golden Body Pills, and Tier 1 Body Cleansing Pills.
The Body Cleansing Pills could remove impurities and medicinal residues accumulated inside the body. They could not completely eliminate every impurity, but they were enough to reduce the accumulation of pill toxins caused by long-term consumption of pills.
After finishing another batch, Ji Tianyou looked at the many pill bottles around him.
His first day of alchemy had been far more successful than he expected.
Three weeks passed quickly.
During that time, Ji Tianyou continued practicing alchemy. He refined every Tier 1 and Tier 2 pill formula contained in his legacy and became much more familiar with the entire process.
He could now refine most Tier 1 and Tier 2 pills with ease.
With his current skills, he was ready to attempt Tier 3 pills.
However, the Alchemy Legacy only contained knowledge up to Peak Tier 2. If he wanted to refine Tier 3 pills, he would have to rely on his own understanding and experiment carefully.
Before doing that, Ji Tianyou decided to teach Lin Yue some basic alchemy knowledge.
During the past three weeks, Lin Yue's cultivation had also improved rapidly. She had reached the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm and only needed three more levels to reach the peak.
Xiao Qing had also grown considerably.
The little Cyan Flood Dragon had already reached the peak of Tier 2, which was comparable to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm among human cultivators. Ji Tianyou had given it many resources, and he had also allowed Lin Yue to take care of it so that Xiao Qing could protect her if something unexpected happened.
Ji Tianyou called Lin Yue over.
A short while later, Lin Yue entered the room with Xiao Qing resting on her shoulder. The small Flood Dragon had grown larger than before, and its cyan scales were becoming more distinct.
"Young Master, you called me?" Lin Yue asked.
Ji Tianyou nodded.
"Yes. I want to teach you alchemy."
Lin Yue's eyes lit up.
"Alchemy? But I don't know anything about it."
"That's why I'm going to teach you," Ji Tianyou said. "Learning alchemy will be useful for you in the future."
Lin Yue nodded immediately.
"Okay. I'll learn."
Ji Tianyou took out a small bottle.
Inside was the Spirit-Rank White-Eyed Flamingo Beast Flame that he had purchased from the Heavenly Pavilion.
"First, I want you to refine this Beast Flame."
Lin Yue looked at the bottle curiously.
"Refine it?"
"Yes. I'll guide you through the process."
Lin Yue nodded and sat down cross-legged.
She carefully opened the bottle and began following Ji Tianyou's instructions.
However, the moment the White-Eyed Flamingo Flame came into contact with her spiritual energy, something unexpected happened.
The white flame suddenly rushed toward her.
Lin Yue closed her eyes instinctively.
The flame entered her body and began merging with her awakened physique.
Ji Tianyou was surprised.
"I thought she would need to slowly refine it."
He had already prepared to help her control the flame, but Lin Yue had somehow begun refining it on her own.
A few moments later, the system notification appeared in Ji Tianyou's mind.
[Ding!]
[Critical Return Activated.]
[Target: Lin Yue.]
[Identity: Daughter of Destiny.]
[Current cultivation: Perfection Level Qi Refinement Realm.]
[Critical Return Multiplier: 5,000x.]
Ji Tianyou stared at the notification.
"Five thousand times?"
[ Yes, due to host reaching the Qi refining Perfection the base multiplier and maximum multiplier have increased by five times ]
[ So, the current base Multiplied is 50 and maximum multiplier is 500 ]
He nodded understanding where the 5000x critical came from.
The system continued.
[Critical Return Reward: Tier 4 Alchemy Legacy.]
[Additional Reward: Black Yin Lotus Flame.]
[Flame Rank: Heavy Flame.]
[Ranking: 99th among the Heavy Flames of the universe.]
Ji Tianyou's eyes widened.
He had expected the return to be valuable, but he had not expected to receive another Alchemy Legacy.
More importantly, the Black Yin Lotus Flame was a Heavy Flame.
According to the knowledge in his previous Alchemy Legacy, Heavy Flames were extremely rare. There were only a limited number of them throughout the entire universe, and each one possessed unique properties.
Ji Tianyou looked at Lin Yue, who was still sitting quietly.
The white flame had completely disappeared into her body.
A faint white glow surrounded her as the flame slowly merged with her physique.
After a while, Lin Yue opened her eyes.
"Young Master, I think I succeeded."
Ji Tianyou nodded.
"Yes. Your control over the flame is much better than I expected."
Lin Yue looked at her hand.
A small white flame appeared above her palm.
The white flame moved gently without showing any signs of losing control.
However, something suddenly changed.
The temperature in the room dropped sharply, and the white flames around Lin Yue slowly turned purple.
"Young Master, I think I have awakened divine ability, like Xiao Qing," Lin Yue said as she looked at the strange purple flames around her hand.
Ji Tianyou blinked in surprise.
He quickly checked the system.
