The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 848 - 948: The New Alchemy Furnace Is Just So Fast

After returning to Taihuo Peak, Ye Tianfan greeted Tian Chu Zhenren and then dove straight into the practice room!Because Taihuo Peak didn't have any alchemy rooms or artifact refining rooms, Ye Tianfan could only refine pills in the practice room. Fortunately, there was no one to disturb him at this time, so he directly took out the materials from the Xuanhuang Tower and began alchemy!

Upon seeing so many materials, Ye Tianfan decided to start with the White Medicine Pill, as it was the first pill-refining method he had learned!

Ye Tianfan found Ning Xuehua among the pile of herbs, then activated the three-headed alchemy furnace and wrapped Ning Xuehua with Divine Sense before tossing it into the three-headed alchemy furnace!

In the three-headed alchemy furnace, Ye Tianfan poured enough fire-attributed spiritual energy into the big-belly section, and then, as Bai Feng had said, he controlled the stability of the flames in the middle-belly section.

As Bai Feng described, Ye Tianfan found it much easier now, as he didn't need to expend too much mental effort to control the flames. It was at least half as easy as when he practiced on Taiyi Peak!

Then, Ye Tianfan slowly used the flames to incinerate the herbs. By controlling the Divine Sense wrapped around the herbs, he could see them gradually roasting, and with a slight press of Divine Sense, they turned into powder!

Next, Ye Tianfan added another herb, which also quickly turned into powder!

Ye Tianfan finally understood why Bai Feng said using the three-headed alchemy furnace causes complacency and a lack of desire to improve—it's just too easy! It's like you were doing trigonometry, and now with the three-headed furnace, it's like you're only solving the Pythagorean theorem, simplifying to several levels lower!

However, Ye Tianfan resisted the urge to always use the small-belly method of pill-refining. After all, if he kept using the small-belly method, Ye Tianfan felt that he wouldn't challenge himself!

It's not that one can't always use the three-headed alchemy furnace, but if it's used excessively, the failure rate for the big-headed and double-headed furnaces will be very high. The double-headed is manageable, but forget about succeeding with the big-headed one!

In the Pill Realm, the big-headed furnace with a high cost-performance ratio and the slightly less efficient double-headed furnace are commonly used!

As for the three-headed furnace, it's rarely used, because after using it, nobody wants to switch to the double-headed or big-headed furnace, even if the three-headed furnace has the features of the big-headed one!

Then, Ye Tianfan added some more herbs, quickly refining them into powder. Ye Tianfan felt this ease and simplicity to be quite addictive—alchemy could indeed be so simple!

Next, Ye Tianfan encountered some issues during the pill synthesis stage. Although the mental strain during synthesis did not decrease significantly, not having to worry about controlling the flame's temperature made things noticeably easier!

With a "sizzle" sound!

Ye Tianfan saw a somewhat perfect White Medicine Pill successfully refined.

Ye Tianfan noted that the spiritual power consumed was less than a tenth of what he typically exerted. Compared to the two or three parts exerted in previous pill refinements, it was a significant mental savings!

However, Ye Tianfan knew that although this method could expedite the process, it posed great risks for emergencies without a furnace, as insufficient control would lead to panic!

Using the big-headed alchemy furnace, meanwhile, would offer high precision, enabling pill refining with Divine Sense as the furnace even without a physical one. Of course, this method is mentally exhausting, to the point where even Tian Chuzhen would pass out after completing a batch this way.

Using Divine Sense as a furnace drains mental energy as quickly as flowing water!

The precision required is immensely high, as it demands multitasking far beyond normal capacity, impossible for ordinary people.

Ye Tianfan then decided to try pill-refining with the lower-belly area, as direct flame contact is one of the most technically challenging processes but yields the best results, producing more impurities that improve the pill's final quality!

Ye Tianfan once more infused fire-attributed spiritual energy into the big-belly section, but this time, he couldn't release too much. This refined pill process differed entirely from previous attempts, demanding stricter adherence than at Taiyi Peak!

Ye Tianfan attempted to throw Ning Xuehua into the furnace, but before he could stabilize the enclosing Divine Sense, it was immediately incinerated by the raging flames!

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan sighed inwardly, realizing just how much harder it was to refine pills here compared to before. The flame temperature during his Taiyi Peak sessions was now scorching Ning Xuehua to ash.

Ye Tianfan chuckled wryly, thickly covering Ning Xuehua with Divine Sense this time, and placed it back into the furnace.

He also significantly lowered the flame temperature, thinking this should solve the issue!

However, to Ye Tianfan's disappointment, the flames still incinerated Ning Xuehua, albeit more slowly than before.

What difference does it make, when everything ends in ashes? Ye Tianfan sighed again, realizing just how much harder the big-headed alchemy furnace was compared to the double-headed one.

But it made sense, as direct flame exposure demanded precise temperature control, along with another fact: although the big-headed furnace feels difficult initially, mastery greatly boosts efficiency, and later in alchemy, materials generally have fire resistance, eliminating early-stage issues!

Thus, the big-headed alchemy furnace is merely hard at the start; with flame control proficiency, its efficiency is unmatched—even Tian Chuzhen endorses it!

Tian Chuzhen even requires all key disciples to use the big-headed alchemy furnace!
