If the two refinement methods were similar, then Lin Yi didn't have to worry. Since the upgraded Godly Armament Cauldron could easily refine a seventh level Yellow level pill, then he could naturally try refining a first level Mystic level pill as well.
But if the two refinement methods were very different, then there was no need to even try. Even if he let his disciple Qing Danzi try, the success rate would probably be much higher than his master. In terms of pure alchemy ability, Qing Danzi was actually much better than Lin Yi. It was just that he didn't have a divine alchemy tool like the Godly Armament Cauldron.
Zhuang Yifan didn't dare to disturb them. After a while, Lin Yi suddenly frowned and whispered, "Hmm? Metal, wood, and earth? "
"What? Did Master Lin notice any problems? "Zhuang Yifan's heart skipped a beat as he quickly asked.
"It's not that big of a problem …" Lin Yi shook his head thoughtfully, but didn't continue the topic.
Zhuang Yifan thought that Lin Yi didn't have the confidence to refine the Earth Strengthening Pill. He immediately smiled apologetically and comforted, "The Earth Strengthening Pill is too uncommon. It doesn't matter if Master Lin fails. It's reasonable. If even Master Lin can't refine it, then it's hard for others."
He was afraid that Lin Yi would think it was too difficult and change his mind at the last minute. After all, it was true that the Earth Strengthening Pill was very rare. Even the first level Mystic level alchemists in the Mystic sea region might not have the confidence to refine it. Because the demand for the Earth Strengthening Pill was too low, most alchemists had never refined it before, so no one could guarantee the success rate.
For Zhuang Yifan, success or failure was actually secondary. The key was whether or not there was a first level Mystic level alchemist willing to help. After all, as long as he started refining, even if he had never refined it before, there was still a chance of success. But if no one was willing to help, then there was no chance at all.
"Hehe, with President Zhuang's words, I'm relieved." Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled noncommittally. In fact, his exclamation just now didn't mean that he couldn't refine it, but he discovered a fundamental difference between Xuan and Huang level pills in this pill recipe.
As everyone knew, yellow-class pills didn't have any special requirements for the Alchemist's own Spirit Root, as long as the corresponding Alchemist was an Alchemist, they could refine it. But this Profound Grade Pill was completely different. Not only did it have a higher requirement for the Alchemist's alchemy ability, but each Profound Grade Pill had different requirements.
Just like this Earth Solid Pill, it not only required the most basic alchemy fire during the process of alchemy, but it also required True Qi that corresponded to the properties of the ingredients. Metal, wood, and earth were all indispensable. Otherwise, no matter how high one's alchemy skills were, they would not be able to form the pill at the last step.
Lin Yi nodded to himself. Compared to Huang level pills, the process of refining a Profound Grade Pill was obviously much more complicated. Also, because every pill had different requirements for the Spirit Root, there was a very difficult threshold. Most Profound Grade First Level Alchemists would only be able to refine a few types of pills, and would be powerless to refine others that didn't match.
In actuality, Lin Yi didn't know the whole picture. Although there were elemental requirements for Mystic class elixirs, it wasn't an absolute requirement. In order to become a Mystic class elixir refiner, one had to master an advanced technique unique to the refiner, and that was to simulate different elemental essences in the process of making elixirs.
Because only in this way could the majority of Profound Level Dans be concocted. Otherwise, if one were to rely purely on one's own Spiritual Root attribute, then more than half of the Profound Level Dans would be lost. Take the Solid Earth Pill for example, one must have Metal, Wood, Earth and Fire Spiritual Roots at the same time. Moreover, one must be a Profound Level Alchemist. How many people in this world could you find?
Only by mastering the high level technique of simulating the basic True Qi of various elements at the same time could one meet the requirements for most Profound Grade Pills. Otherwise, it would be nonsense.
This was a compulsory course for a Profound Grade Alchemist. If one couldn't master this high level technique, then one would never be able to become a Profound Grade Alchemist. No matter how much experience one had, it would be useless. This was a natural chasm between a Yellow Grade Alchemist and a Profound Grade Alchemist. Many Seventh Level Alchemists of the Yellow Grade could never cross this chasm in their entire lives.
In fact, not only Profound Grade Alchemists, many Yellow Grade Alchemists also had a similar technique. Back then, Boss Bai had said that as long as one used the corresponding chant, one could achieve the effect of simulating Dan Fire. For example, alchemists who didn't have a Water Spirit Root could also simulate and catalyze a Water Dan Fire. However, this technique could only simulate a single element. It was impossible to simulate all the elements at the same time. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
This was like how elementary school students could easily grasp numerical calculations, but would only be afraid of advanced mathematics. The two techniques seemed to be the same in essence, but in fact, there was a huge threshold that was hard to surpass.
And if it was just simulating a single element, it obviously wouldn't be able to meet the requirements of refining a Profound Grade Pill. Others could casually use several elements, so how could a single simulation deal with all of them?
If others wanted to become a Profound Grade Alchemist, they had to practice this compulsory course to perfection. However, Lin Yi was an exception.
He hadn't even heard of this before, so naturally, he didn't know such a high level technique. However, he didn't need to use this high-level technique at all, because he was a freak with eight elements. He could naturally meet more than 90% of the requirements for refining a Profound Grade Pill. This daunting threshold was like nothing to him.
Although Zhuang Yifan was a great master in the late stage of Earth Opening, he wasn't an alchemist after all. Naturally, he didn't know the various tricks involved. Seeing Lin Yi's attitude, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was good that Lin Yi agreed to help refine the pill.
"Regardless of whether this time is successful or not, I will thank Master Lin in advance. I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome Master Lin. As for refining the pill, there's no need to rush. Master Lin can rest for a while first." Although Zhuang Yifan was anxious, he didn't dare to rush Lin Yi. Instead, he acted very considerate. "You just came out from the Path of Giants, and fought with Zang Zili and the others. I believe Master Lin is tired, right?"
"Hehe, then I will trouble President Zhuang. I will go over tonight." Lin Yi smiled faintly. As for the latter question, he didn't mention it. If he really told the truth, he was afraid that he would provoke Zhuang Yifan. It was better to keep a low profile.
