To attack or not to attack?
In the end, the two chose to strike first.
With a Wind Blade and a Fireball in their hands, they charged towards Ye Fan.
As for magic artifacts, if they could afford them, would they need to rob a novice cultivator like Ye Fan?
Ye Fan had not even mastered a single spell, so of course, he wouldn’t use the methods of cultivators against the enemy.
He drew his famous long knife from his bundle, charging towards the two like an arrow.
A warrior?
The two sneered with disdain.
In their eyes, a warrior was nothing more than a punching bag.
The next moment, a five-meter-long luminous blade sliced down from the sky.
Damn, an Innate Realm warrior!
The two cultivators turned and fled immediately. Warriors might be weak, but an Innate Realm warrior was much stronger than them.
An Innate Realm warrior pretending to be a novice cultivator, that’s cheating!
As the knife light flashed, two heads soared into the sky.
Looking back at the deep pits left by their two spells, Ye Fan sighed.
It seemed that he needed to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.
In the Qi Refinement Realm, one could barely claim to have any combat power.
After looting the bodies, three low-grade spirit stones, and two spell books, Ye Fan couldn’t help but curse at their poverty.
A day later, Ye Fan returned home.
“From now on, these Cultivation Techniques will be kept in the Ye Family’s
Scripture Depository. If any of you wish to practice, you can learn from there.”
These five Cultivation Techniques and three spells formed the foundation of the Ye Family.
“Congratulations to the host on completing the long-term task: the methods of cultivation (completed). Reward available.”
The foundational Qi Cultivation Technique, allowed Ye Fan to complete the family task directly.
There was indeed a gap between Cultivation and martial arts training.
“Claim the reward.”
“Congratulations to the host on receiving the reward: Proficiency in Spells (Ten Years).”
This reward would increase the proficiency of one of Ye Fan’s spells by the equivalent of ten years of practice.
Ten years would undoubtedly be enough to perfect a spell.
Among the basic spells, what Ye Fan needed most was the Flame Control Technique.
The Flame Control Technique could control the Spiritual Fire for combat and for Alchemy, making it a very practical spell.
Ye Fan had Alchemy skills, which would aid him in cultivating the Flame Control Technique.
The ability to control fire was indeed one of the crucial capabilities in Alchemy.
Once again, the Ye family began a period of seclusion for cultivation.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan started making pills.
One spiritual medicine equaled half a spirit stone, so Ye Fan had to handle it with care.
With a soft plop, the fire was too intense and destroyed the Elixir just as it was about to take shape.
Instantly losing half a spirit stone made Ye Fan heartbroken.
Two times, three times.
By the fourth time, Ye Fan’s spiritual power was almost depleted.
When the last bit of medicine was integrated into the elixir, Ye Fan pinched the magic script and collected the pill.
A round elixir appeared in Ye Fan’s hand.
Just the smell emanating from it made Ye Fan feel refreshed.
The most basic Qi Cultivation Pill, although the quality was the lowest, it made Ye Fan very happy.
To purchase a Qi cultivation pill, one needs a spirit stone, making two times the profit.
Although he still made a loss, Ye Fan was now proficient. His success rate in the future would be high, and he wouldn’t worry about the loss.
An Alchemist is indeed a profitable profession.
Ye Fan took out a prepared jade bottle and stored the elixir in it.
The jade bottle could prevent the elixir from losing its medicinal properties, making it an essential tool.
When the rank of the elixir increased in the future, various formations would need to be engraved inside the jade bottle, which would be a considerable expense.
Luckily, Ye Fan knew both formations and artifact refining, so he could handle these himself.
In the future, it would be best if he could grow his ingredients. From ingredient to product, he would not allow anyone to make a penny.
Ye Fan didn’t continue with alchemy, because his spiritual power could only produce three to four Qi-refining elixirs a day at most.
The remaining time was just enough for Ye Fan to recuperate his spiritual energy.
Of course, there were Qi-restoring elixirs designed to replenish spiritual energy among the elixirs, but Ye Fan was not that extravagant.
He had a small business, savoring every single penny.
The next day, Ye Fan took out another batch of medicinal ingredients.
However, these ingredients were not for refining Qi-refining elixirs, but to refine elixirs that could help Ye Jinhai recover from his injuries.
He put in the ingredients, stimulated the spiritual fire with his spiritual energy, and turned them into medicinal fluid.
The medicinal fluid was fused to form elixirs.
However, the next moment, the medicinal fluid was instantly burned, leaving only a pile of residue.
Ye Fan stopped what he was doing and picked up the Pill Furnace.
Over the Pill Furnace, a crack had appeared.
It was very small, barely noticeable upon cursory inspection, but it could affect the refining of elixirs.
It was still tolerable for refining Qi-refining elixirs, and could be used reluctantly.
But for refining more difficult elixirs, this Pill Furnace was completely unusable, he had to swap it out for a better Pill Furnace.
The best option would be a magic artifact level Pill Furnace.
Ordinary Pill Furnaces could not withstand the continuous radiant heat of the spiritual fire.
Yet even the lowest-grade magic artifact level Pill Furnace would cost a minimum of fifty Spirit Stones, a price Ye Fan simply could not afford.
Now, he only had one solution to refine an elixir for Ye Jinhai.
He had to cultivate the Flame Control Technique, using the weakest flame that the furnace could withstand to refine the elixir.
For the following month, Ye Fan put everything else on hold and focused fully on cultivating the Flame Control Technique.
He raised his hand and the flame kept changing shape in his hand.
One moment it turned into a bird, the next into a tortoise.

Cultivation requires more enlightenment compared to martial arts training.
With Ye Fan’s current level of enlightenment, it would be enough for him to master an ordinary martial art in just a month.
However, even reaching minor success in a simple Flame Control Technique proved to be challenging.
If he wanted to achieve Great Success, it would likely take a year.
Yet, a minor success in the Flame Control Technique was not enough to support Ye Fan in refining the needed elixir. He had no choice but to depend on the system.
“Brother Tongzi, add some points!”
Ten years of magical practice experience was instantly bestowed upon Ye Fan.
It felt like Ye Fan had just gone through a dream, in which he had done nothing but cultivate the Flame Control Technique over ten years.
As time passed, his Flame Control Technique went from minor success, to major success, to perfection.
Even after it had reached perfection, Ye Fan continued his cultivation.
However, it seemed that perfection was the endpoint of the technique, and he couldn’t break through any further.
Yet Ye Fan did not give up and continued cultivating day and night.
Suddenly, one day, Ye Fan noticed that his Flame Control Technique had changed.
Controlling fire seemed to have become a natural instinct for him.
Without chanting any spell, fire formed into a serpent the moment Ye Fan thought of it.
In his skill list, the originally perfect level Flame Control Technique had disappeared.
Meanwhile, in his divine skill interface, a new skill appeared: Fire Control Divine Skill – Minor Success (11/200).
His Flame Control Technique had evolved into the Fire Control Divine Skill.
A minor difference in the name, yet the power difference between the two was significant.
The Flame Control Technique when it was at its perfection stage, was not even half as strong as the Fire Control Divine Skill at its minor success stage.
Ten years had passed, Ye Fan opened his eyes.
He raised his hand, and a lifelike fire serpent appeared in his palm.
The temperature in the alchemy room soared by several hundred degrees in an instant..
