Chapter 328 Rapid Advancement in Alchemy

“Elder, this cannot be entirely blamed on Miss Xinlan.” The Ye family member who reported cautiously looked up and whispered, “In order to resolve the family crisis, you betrothed her to Cao Dan of the Cao family, but this is, after all, related to her personal happiness for life.”

"Miss, before she left, she said she was marrying Cao Dan. Could it really solve the family crisis? The Cao family is ambitious and has long wanted to swallow up the Ye family. This marriage is nothing more than lambs to the slaughter!"

"This is utter nonsense!" Ye Zhong's face darkened, his hands clenched into fists beneath his sleeves, knuckles white. "How could I not know what she was saying? But making this decision back then was a last resort."

He took a deep breath, a hint of weariness flashing in his eyes: "If it weren't for that, why would I have personally traveled to the Northern Region to find Master Lin? Could I possibly reverse the decline of my Ye family with that so-called alchemy genius from Canaan Academy that she mentioned?"

"The crisis facing my Ye family cannot be resolved by some random Tom, Dick, or Harry. Let someone bring her back."

Before he could finish speaking, a faint voice came from outside the hall.

"Who are you talking about, the Tom, Dick, or Harry?"

"Master Lin." Ye Zhong bowed and greeted Lin Mo upon seeing that the visitor was Lin Mo.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master Lin. It's about my granddaughter."

"Tell me about it..." Lin Mo said with a smile.

Ye Zhong did not hide anything from this and said, "Master Lin knows about the five major families of the Pill Domain, so he should know that these five families have been passed down for a long time. The patriarchs who founded these five families were all core members of the Pill Tower, and my Ye family is one of them."

"According to the conditions, as long as the five major families can meet certain conditions in the future, they will all be able to occupy a seat in the elders' seats of the Pill Tower."

"The condition is that every once in a while, the Pill Tower will conduct an assessment of the five major families. Only those who pass the assessment can continue to retain their seats on the elders' bench."

"The Pill Tower places great emphasis on the cultivation of the younger generation, and the assessment naturally targets them. However, the younger generation of my Ye family is dwindling in talent, with each generation being worse than the last. We have failed twice in a row. If we fail again this time, we will not only lose our qualification to enter the Pill Tower Elder Seat, but we will also be ostracized from the five major families."

At this point, Ye Zhong also looked dejected.

"The five major families all possess extremely strong power in the Pill Domain. Coupled with the reputation of the Pill Tower, a behemoth, they are basically able to do whatever they want in the Pill Domain. Even a force like the Ice River Valley has to be quite polite to them... Of course, my Ye family is not in that category now... You can see that even the Black Fire Sect dares to disregard our Ye family."

"I had no choice but to resort to marriage. The Cao family is currently at the height of its power in the Pill Domain, producing many talented individuals."

"Granddaughter Xinlan."

After listening to Ye Zhong's words, Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "You and your granddaughter are not wrong. I know the friend she found. Helping your Ye family pass the elder's assessment will not be a problem."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chong's face lit up with joy, but he still couldn't help but ask, "The Five Great Families are a shortcut to the higher levels of the Pill Tower, so they have relaxed the requirements. But even so, the minimum qualification to participate in this kind of assessment is that the alchemist must be at least a sixth-grade alchemist. And if you want to pass, you need to reach the level of a seventh-grade alchemist."

"Can Xinlan's friend really do it? You know, I've only reached this level after all these years of cultivation."

Lin Mo said, "No problem."

Lin Mo did not expect that Xiao Yan had also come to Zhongzhou. With his help, the Ye family would have no problem overcoming this crisis.

"Alright, take me to the Ye family's library."

"Yes."

It's important to know that the Ye family was one of the earliest five great families established in the early days of the Pill Tower. Their patriarch was a peak eighth-grade alchemist, and the alchemy legacy he left behind is not to be underestimated. Lin Mo's soul strength had already reached the Heavenly Realm; reaching the peak of the eighth grade, or even the ninth grade alchemist, was merely a matter of time and experience.

In the art of alchemy, the most important factors are experience and proficiency.

And this is exactly what Lin Mo has in abundance.

It should be noted that at the very moment Lin Mo was talking to Ye Zhong, he was also practicing alchemy in the mortal world, and even taught Han Laomo the art of alchemy.

The reason why it is so difficult for ordinary people to improve their alchemy skills is not only due to the hard factor of the soul (divine consciousness), but also, and most importantly, money.

The skill of alchemy requires time and experience to accumulate, but this experience cannot be obtained by mere wishful thinking. It requires continuous alchemy practice and summarizing various experiences during the process.

Each alchemy session requires a large amount of materials.

Generally speaking, it takes twenty or thirty years and an astronomical sum of money to cultivate an alchemist of the fifth rank or above.

It's important to understand that even the wealthiest sects can't guarantee that any alchemist will have a sufficient supply of rare materials for their daily cultivation.

Such a thing might be somewhat possible unless it happens with the lowest-grade pills. However, if it's a low-grade pill, why bother cultivating and accumulating experience? The raw materials aren't expensive anyway; if you mess it up, you can just start over.

The higher you climb on the path of an alchemist, the more money you burn.

Lin Mo is doing very well in all the different worlds.

Especially in the mortal world, the variety of materials is even more abundant than in the Battle Through the Heavens world.

With Han Li's help, high-grade medicinal herbs are readily available, and demon cores can be directly hunted in the Chaotic Star Sea.

This is why his alchemy skills improved so quickly.

After all, no one else has ever been able to use so many rare and high-grade medicinal herbs for practice as extravagantly as him, while also possessing the powerful weapon of clone technique that can erase the accumulation of time.

Furthermore, the materials used in different worlds vary to some extent, which broadened Lin Mo's horizons. The alchemy techniques in the mortal world differ slightly from those in Doupo, but Lin Mo could still learn from them.

These days, not only him, but even Han Li, whose talent for alchemy is average, has been raised to the level of an alchemy master.

Lin Mo had already thoroughly mastered the alchemist's legacy from the old alchemist, which is why he set his sights on the alchemy legacy of the Ye family's ancestor.

Ye Zhong had already made his promise, so naturally he would grant Lin Mo's request.

Moreover, he didn't have the power to refuse.

In Ye Zhong's opinion, Lin Mo's strength was at least at the half-step Dou Zun level. If Lin Mo weren't so young, he would even think that Lin Mo was a genuine Dou Zun powerhouse.

Moreover, Ye Zhong also wanted to see the Ye family's alchemy skills shine brightly again in this world.

Even if it wasn't through the Ye family.
