Lu An's refining went on nervously. After about half an hour, the servant once again returned to the door.
Just standing at the door, the servant could feel a wave of heat coming through the door. This wave of heat was very hot. Even standing at the door, he could not take another step forward. Otherwise, he did not know if he could withstand it.
He knew that Lu An was most likely refining pills inside. Thinking about it, he stood outside the door and shouted, "Alchemist Lu, I have brought everything here!"
As soon as he said this, the red light in the room suddenly flashed and disappeared without a trace. Then the wave of heat also disappeared in an instant, making the servant feel relieved.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from inside. Lu An opened the door and asked, "Sorry to trouble you. Where are the things?"
The servant took out a ring and handed it to Lu An and said, "The things are inside. After you take out the things, I will take the ring."
"Okay." Lu An nodded and took out everything inside.
After the servant took the ring, he thought for a moment and asked Lu An, "The Chamber of Commerce has a rule that new alchemists must first hand in the first batch of finished products within seven days. Not only must the quality be guaranteed, but also at least ten pills. You are a level two alchemist, so at least ten level two pills. Is that okay? "
Lu An was slightly startled. He did not know there was such a rule. But since he joined the Chamber of Commerce, he naturally had to do things. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Soon, after the servant left, Lu An closed the door and continued refining. If the servant noticed the things on the table, he would probably be shocked. Because on the table, there was a blood coagulation pill that had just come out of the furnace!
In the last half an hour, Lu An had tried refining a total of three times. On the third try, he finally succeeded. At this point, he had successfully mastered a new method of refining pills. Even he himself did not expect that he would succeed so quickly.
After successfully refining, Lu An did not rest for a while. Instead, he directly picked up the pill recipe and looked at it.
"Injury Pill."
When he saw the name, Lu An's heart suddenly shook. Judging from the name, it was very similar to that kind of harmful medicinal pill. However, since this was his first time in the Chamber of Commerce, he was afraid that the Chamber of Commerce wouldn't allow him to refine this kind of pill. Thus, he frowned and continued reading.
Sure enough, this was not poison, but it was indeed a pill that could cause harm to the human body. But its effects were also very obvious. In a short period of time, at the cost of one's life, it could exchange for an even more violent strength.
This was a pill that could allow one to explode in strength for a short period of time, but the price was a little cruel. According to the pill recipe, even if one only consumed one pill, their lifespan would be reduced by three to six years. This wasn't just blood essence, but actual lifespan.
After reading it, Lu An put the pill recipe aside. Every pill had its own value. If the consumption of lifespan could be exchanged for a chance to live, then this pill would be the best pill. Furthermore, this pill was even useful for Level 3 Heavenly Masters. If he were to sell it, it would be worth at least a thousand gold.
However, what made Lu An flabbergasted was that refining the Life Wound Pill required a total of 23 ingredients. Moreover, from the process, it was very complicated. It obviously wasn't a beginner Level 3 pill. This was his first time refining a Level 3 pill, the Chamber of Commerce knew this. Why would they give him such a high level pill recipe?
Lu An was slightly suspicious, but he didn't think too much about it. He wouldn't shrink back just because of the difficulty of refining this pill. Very quickly, Lu An began to immerse himself in the refining process.

Seven days later.
In these seven days, Lu An had gradually gotten used to his life in Yuan Shan City. During the day, he would concentrate on refining pills in the Alchemy Room. At night, he would return to the courtyard he rented to cultivate. He did not delay either of them.
As for Beauty Yang, she naturally had her own way of life. As a Level 7 Heavenly Master, Lu An didn't need to worry about her safety. Beauty Yang had said before, with her current strength, even if she went to the Four Great Empires, she would still be a guest of honor for the various clans.
However, Lu An wasn't worried about Beauty Yang's safety, but Beauty Yang's life. After sacrificing herself to him, although Beauty Yang still looked as cold as before to others, she became more and more obedient to him. Even when Lu An left during the day, she didn't seem to go out and always stayed in the courtyard.
Lu An had talked to Beauty Yang about this before. Beauty Yang's answer was also very simple. It was just that Yuan Shan City wasn't interesting, that was all.
After getting this answer, Lu An couldn't say anything more. On the seventh day, he was still concentrating on refining pills in the pill refining room. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on his door.
After hearing the sound, Lu An stopped what he was doing and walked over to open the door. He found that it was the servant standing at the door.
"Alchemist Lu An, it's the seven day time limit." The servant looked at Lu An and said politely, "I'm here to collect the pills on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce."
Lu An naturally didn't forget about this matter and said with a smile, "Okay."
After saying that, Lu An walked to the table and took out two small bottles. He handed them to the servant and said, "These are the pills I've made in the past few days. There are exactly ten pills."
When the servant heard this, he looked at Lu An suspiciously. Ten pills in seven days was the limit. Lu An's speed was a bit slow compared to these level 2 alchemists.
However, when he opened the two bottles, he was completely stunned!
Seven Blood Coagulation Pills and three Life Wound Pills!
The servant suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu An in shock and asked, "Life Wound Pills … You've successfully refined them?!"
"Of course." Lu An smiled and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to report back."
"…" The servant looked at Lu An in shock. One must know that the reason why he gave the Life Wound Pills to Lu An was because all the Chamber of Commerce in Yuan Shan City would do something to new alchemists. It was to dampen their spirit.
For the alchemists who came to Yuan Shan City, they naturally had lofty ideals. However, for the Chamber of Commerce here, they just wanted these people to work honestly. As for the Life Wound Pill, it was a very difficult pill to refine in the third grade. Naturally, it was the best choice. Many people would lose their confidence because of the Life Wound Pill and would obediently refine the second grade pills.
However, he really didn't expect that Lu An would be able to successfully refine the Life Wound Pill. This also meant that Lu An was qualified to become a level 3 alchemist!
The servant recovered from the shock with great difficulty. He took a deep breath and quickly said, "I'll go back and report back to the Chamber of Commerce!"
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
After the servant left, Lu An returned to the chair in the room and sat down. He didn't continue refining. In fact, out of the four sets of materials for the Life Wound Pill, he had successfully refined three of them. The remaining one was naturally kept by him. As for the Blood Coagulation Pill, because of the continuous request for materials, he had refined a total of twenty pills.
Other than the Life Wound Pill that troubled him for a while, the refining process was actually very short. However, he didn't stay idle during these seven days. In fact, when it came to alchemy, he could only be considered a dabbler. Because he didn't learn alchemy from anyone, there was a specialized alchemy library in the courtyard, which allowed him to add a lot of basic knowledge.
He didn't have to wait long. Soon, the servant hurried back with the Chamber of Commerce's housekeeper following behind him. The housekeeper held the Life Wound Pill in his hand. After sizing up Lu An, he couldn't help but ask again, "Did you refine this?"
"Absolutely." Lu An said with a smile.
"You're a level 3 alchemist?" The housekeeper couldn't help but ask again. After all, it was common knowledge that a alchemist's realm wouldn't be lower than an alchemist's realm.
Lu An was startled but didn't hide it. He nodded and said, "That's right."
"Hiss …" The housekeeper heard this and took a deep breath. He couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, how old are you this year?"
Lu An thought for a moment and said, "Almost fourteen years old."
"…"
The housekeeper's face obviously froze. Sure enough, Lu An was younger than he thought. He originally guessed that Lu An should be around this age, but Lu An's temperament made him not dare to make wild guesses.
"Not even fourteen years old …" The housekeeper took a deep breath and immediately frowned. He said seriously, "Please follow me!"
