PS: There might be a glitch on the browser side causing repetitions, I uploaded it without repetitions, it's a technical issue, refreshing should fix it. Also, I've been out all day handling matters. I can only write four updates today, and I'll make a major update around the 20th of this month to make it up to everyone (taking a few days off in advance).

——

Jiang Shanshui followed and walked in.

Soon, they arrived in the backyard.

In the courtyard, Fang Yu was busy preparing the Furnace Tripod, chatting and laughing with Ye Wenjun and others.

Jiang Shanshui couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

"Alchemy isn't that difficult, mainly because you haven't gotten into it. There's not much technical content in alchemy, it's just about piling a bunch of Medicinal Grass together, putting it in the Furnace Tripod, and continuously heating it. With some luck, you can create some decent Elixir Pills, and at least making First Grade or Second Grade Elixir Pills is feasible."

Fang Yu kept boasting—

"Like those pharmacies outside, especially patent medicines, are actually a kind of alchemy. It's just that humans are clever, mixing those medicines in different proportions to make them into patent medicines. More advanced medicines are made by Alchemists. The Elixir Pill I am going to make today is called the Purple Light Breaking Wall Pill. It is a Ninth Grade Elixir Pill… Don't underestimate this Elixir Pill, it's not something ordinary people can make. This Elixir Pill can help Cultivators significantly improve their Inner Essence... The most crucial thing is, it can help Cultivators break through barriers without any obstacles!"

"Breakthrough without obstacles?"

The women were taken aback.

They had all studied relevant cultivation theories and understood what breaking through barriers entails.

Fang Yu smiled and said:

"Many people can't break through the barriers throughout their lives and remain stuck in the same Realm. Even if their Inner Essence is robust, they can't break through... that's the barrier. Some people have epiphanies and break through, some have life-changing experiences and break through, some naturally have exceptional talents making it easier for them to advance... but no matter which type, when they cultivate to a certain extreme, they will encounter their own barriers... including geniuses!"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone was stunned.

Indeed, even geniuses encounter barriers; it's just that their barriers are higher than others.

But...

With this "Purple Light Breaking Wall Pill," there are no barriers.

For High Class Cultivators, this is a priceless treasure, a dream everyone yearns for.

...

Hearing this.

Jiang Shanshui, who had walked near the courtyard, couldn't hold back anymore. He quickly stepped forward, stood with his hands behind his back, and coughed, "Nonsense!"

Everyone was shocked.

Who is this person?

The Fang Family members nearby were also full of doubt, didn't they see my brother Yu putting on a show? Interrupting recklessly, courting death!

The Fang Family member who brought him in bowed and said, "Elder Fang... this is the elderly gentleman you asked me to receive, a Second Grade Alchemist, Mr. Jiang Shanshui."

Fang Yu nodded, squeezed out a smile, and stepped forward to greet, "So it's Elder Jiang."

Jiang Shanshui's gaze swept across the boxes on the ground, the various Medicinal Grass, and the three beautiful ladies standing nearby, captivating and angel-like… He couldn't help but ponder, is this guy a rich second generation just trying to amuse girls?

"You just said... you want to make Purple Light Breaking Wall Pill?" Jiang Shanshui asked somewhat unfriendly.

"Yes."

"The Purple Light Breaking Wall Pill, indeed a one-in-a-million Ninth Grade Elixir Pill, a priceless treasure that countless Cultivators dream of… But accordingly, making this Elixir Pill is extremely difficult and the conditions are stringent. How can you say making Elixir Pills is simple? Otherwise, would there even be such thing as barriers for Cultivators? The Purple Light Breaking Wall Pills would be flooding the market!" Jiang Shanshui said.

Upon hearing this.

Everyone nodded along.

This makes a lot of sense.

The three ladies then turned their attention to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu smiled lightly, hands behind his back, "What I said does not conflict with yours… the Purple Light Breaking Wall Pill is indeed challenging to refine, but it depends on who does the refining. I don't know how difficult it is for others, for me, it is easy... As for your concern about the Purple Light Breaking Wall Pill being abundant, you're overthinking. Do you see these medicinal herbs? These were acquired over a month of buying up everything available from several major cities, and this is all we got. How could it possibly be abundant?"

Jiang Shanshui was momentarily stunned, looking at Fang Yu, "Easy for you to refine? How old are you? What do you know? Let me ask you, what grade of alchemist are you?"

Listening to Fang Yu continuously boasting and his arrogant attitude, Jiang Shanshui started to feel annoyed.

Fang Yu spread his hands out, honestly saying,

"To be honest, since I started practicing alchemy, I've never tested what grade I could reach. According to the old rules, the highest grade of pills one can refine determines the alchemist's grade... I can refine up to Ninth Grade, as for the Earth Rank and Heaven Rank Elixir Pills, I haven't tried, but I should be able to, I guess."

Jiang Shanshui's eyes widened,

He looked at Fang Yu with disdain.

How could this guy brag so shamelessly!

How could Song Gusheng know such a person!

"Should be, you actually say should be... Pah! If it weren't for Doctor Song's sake, why would I come here to listen to your nonsense, this is simply insulting my intelligence!"

Hearing this,

Fang Yu was taken aback and said, "So, Old Jiang doesn't believe I can perform alchemy? Where is all this anger coming from!"

"Nothing but lies, only good at making women happy, young masters like you, I've seen too many!"

Jiang Shanshui hurriedly turned around, sweeping his eyes over Ye Wenjun and others, continuing, "You girls are still young, don't be deceived by these kinds of wastrels! They target beautiful women like you specifically!"

Well.

The three ladies were momentarily stunned.

Xu Sisi hurriedly said, "Old Mister Jiang, you have misunderstood… Mr. Fang is certainly not a swindler. He is the most talented and capable man I have ever met…"

Jiang Shanshui: "…"

Ye Wenjun also said, "Old sir… The man standing in front of you, he is my lawful husband, Ye Wenjun. I do not accept any insult towards my husband. If you continue to speak disrespectfully, I will have to ask you to leave the Fang Family."

Jiang Shanshui: "…"

Shangguan Linghui followed up, saying, "My son-in-law has unique talent in alchemy. Sister Wenjun took an Eighth Grade Soul Condensing Spirit Pill refined by him just seven days ago, and her strength has greatly advanced. How could he possibly be a swindler? Maybe you have been misinformed by someone. This is not the place for reckless talk, this is the Fang Family!"

Jiang Shanshui: "…"

Being bombarded in turns by these three women, despite his broad experience, he was so infuriated that his beard puffed and eyes bulged.

"Fine… you young swindler, so good at deceiving, spinning them around in circles!"

At this point,

Fang Yu coughed and said, "Old Jiang, you are a Second Grade alchemist, you should recognize any medicinal herb… Let advanced lead the way, why don't we have a small contest to see who is more proficient in medicinal herbs. Whoever loses has to acknowledge and follow the instructions of the winner, how about that?"

"This is a challenge thrown at my door! Let's compete! I, Jiang Shanshui might not have a high-grade in alchemy, but I've identified medicinal herbs for decades, this experience is not something a green boy like you can compare to! Let's see how much more you can deceive!"

Fang Yu smiled and didn't speak, pointing to a nearby box, said, "What's inside this medicine?"

"Open it!" said Jiang Shanshui.

"Who said to open it? Judge through the box!" said Fang Yu.

"…" Jiang Shanshui was stunned, "How can I identify the medicinal herbs without opening the box? Are you kidding me?"
