I started by submitting to the Douluo Continent, and the nation helped me become a god.

"It's done..."

Li Fulan stared in disbelief at the changes inside the furnace.

This is the first time that the reaction in the furnace hasn't gotten out of control.

This is the first time the medicinal herbs have blended so smoothly.

This was the first time he had felt a strange resonance between his martial spirit and the alchemy furnace.

"The final step: Condensing the Core!"

He gritted his teeth and pushed the energy output of his martial spirit to its limit.

The mushroom's glow suddenly became dazzling.

The milky white light inside the furnace also pulsed violently, as if some kind of life was being conceived within.

ten seconds...

Twenty seconds...

Thirty seconds...

boom!

A muffled thud.

The lid of the alchemy furnace popped open by itself.

A rich aroma of medicine gushed out from the furnace, instantly filling the entire laboratory.

Li Fulan staggered to the furnace and shakily reached her hand into the furnace opening.

His fingers touched a smooth, round pill that emitted a faint glow.

No, there's more than one.

One, two, three...

A total of twelve!

Twelve perfectly formed Spirit Gathering Pills were neatly arranged at the bottom of the furnace.

"I did it! I did it!"

Li Fulan laughed loudly, her voice filled with the ecstasy she had been holding back for a month.

"Hahahaha! Thirty-eight batches! I finally fucking succeeded!"

He picked up the twelve Spirit Gathering Pills as if they were rare treasures.

The pills shone with a warm glow in his palm, and felt like warm jade, with no flaws on their surface.

This was his first successful batch of pills.

It was also the starting point of his alchemist career.

"Congratulations, Brother Li."

Lin An walked over from the corner with a sincere smile on his face.

He shouted towards the door, "Old Yuan! Brother Li succeeded!"

In less than a minute, Professor Yuan appeared at the laboratory door.

The elderly scientist with gray hair strode in, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"It's done? It really is done?"

He grabbed Li Fulan's wrist and stared intently at the twelve pills in his palm.

"Let me see, let me see!"

Li Fulan handed over the pills.

Mr. Yuan carefully took one, smelled it, and then examined it closely against the light.

"It has a smooth, rounded color, a pure medicinal aroma, and a smooth surface free of impurities..."

He muttered to himself, but the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"The quality is at least mid-grade or above! Little Li, you were able to refine a mid-grade pill on your very first batch, your talent..."

Mr. Yuan was so excited that he could hardly speak.

According to the classification of pills in Douluo Continent, pills are divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

The same formula can produce products of vastly different quality depending on the alchemist.

In the Douluo Continent, anyone who can consistently refine mid-grade pills can be called a "qualified alchemist".

Li Fulan had only been learning for a month when her first batch of pills reached the middle grade level.

What does this show?

This shows that the effect of his mushroom martial spirit on alchemy is even more incredible than expected.

"Mr. Yuan, appearances alone are not enough."

Li Fulan wiped the sweat from her forehead, her tone slightly nervous.

"Whether this pill is effective or not can only be determined through actual testing."

"Yes, yes, test it, test it now!"

Yuan Lao nodded repeatedly, then turned and called out the door, "Xiao Zhang, bring the third experimental subject over!"

A short while later, a young researcher pushed in a transparent glass case.

Inside the box was a snow-white mouse.

The white mouse was a whole size larger than a normal white mouse, its fur was as smooth as silk, and its eyes shone like two rubies.

"This is a special experimental subject cultivated at our base."

Mr. Yuan explained.

"Its genes have been optimized, and its physical condition is about three times that of a normal white mouse. Numerous baseline tests have already been conducted, and the data is very complete."

He turned to look at Li Fulan.

"What do you think about using it to test the effectiveness of the Spirit Gathering Pill?"

Li Fulan nodded.

"OK."

Mr. Yuan took a Spirit Gathering Pill from his hand, picked it up with tweezers, and carefully placed it into the feeding trough in the glass box.

The white mouse seemed to sense something, raised its head, and sniffed with its little nose.

Then he pounced on it without hesitation.

He swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill in one gulp.

"Start the timer."

Mr. Yuan pressed the stopwatch.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the white rat in the glass box.

Ten seconds passed.

The white mouse showed no abnormalities and was still leisurely strolling around in the box.

Twenty seconds passed.

The white mouse yawned, seemingly a little sleepy.

Thirty seconds...

Forty seconds...

Just as Li Fulan began to doubt whether the elixir was ineffective, a change occurred.

The white mouse's body trembled violently.

It stopped, its entire body frozen in place.

Then, a faint white light emanated from its fur.

"This is……"

Lin An's eyes widened.

"Energy reaction!"

Mr. Yuan immediately operated the testing instrument next to him.

A set of data jumped rapidly and appeared on the holographic screen.

"Heart rate increased by 15%...body temperature increased by 0.3 degrees Celsius...muscle density increased by 3.7%...cell activity increased by 12.4%..."

Mr. Yuan's voice grew increasingly excited.

"Neural reaction speed increased by 8.9%... Bone hardness increased by 2.1%..."

He suddenly turned his head to look at Li Fulan.

"Effective! The Spirit Gathering Pill's strengthening effect on the test subject is very obvious!"

Inside the glass box, the white light emanating from the white mouse had slowly faded.

However, its condition has changed noticeably compared to before.

His eyes were brighter, his movements were more agile, and his whole body exuded a vibrant vitality.

"Running test!"

At Yuan's command, the researcher pressed a button on the side of the glass box.

A small opening was made at the bottom of the box, revealing the running wheel assembly underneath.

The white mouse seemed very familiar with this thing, and immediately jumped onto the running wheel and started running.

The speed sensor is rapidly recording data.

"Before taking the medication, my average rotation speed was 230 revolutions per minute..."

Lin An stared at the screen and counted.

"It's currently... 267 laps per minute!"

He gasped.

"An increase of 16%!"

"Grip strength test!"

Another researcher inserted a specially made metal rod into the box.

The white mouse instinctively grabbed it with its claws.

The sensor records the gripping force data.

"Before taking the medication, it was 0.8 Newtons... Now it's 0.95 Newtons! That's an increase of 18.7%!"

"Reaction speed test!"

Researchers waved thin sticks in front of white mice to simulate suddenly appearing obstacles.

The white rats' dodging movements were clean and efficient, much faster than before.

"Reaction time has been reduced from 0.12 seconds to 0.09 seconds! A 25% improvement!"

One set of data after another was recorded.

Every indicator showed that the white mouse's physical condition was comprehensively and significantly improved after consuming the Spirit Gathering Pill.

The entire laboratory was quiet for a short while.

Then a burst of cheers erupted.

"It's a success! It's really a success!"

"This is the first elixir in human history formulated by someone from another world!"

"Brother Li is awesome!"

The researchers crowded around, excitedly patting Li Fulan on the shoulder.

Mr. Yuan was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

"Do you know what this means?"

He gripped Li Fulan's hand tightly, his voice trembling.

"This means we've successfully bridged the pharmacological systems of two worlds! This means we can replicate those legendary miraculous pills from Douluo Continent on Earth! This means..."

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"This means that human evolution will usher in a completely new era!"

Looking at the group of scientists in front of him who were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves, Li Fulan's lips curled up slightly.

A master alchemist?

That sounds... kind of exciting.
