Chapter 954: Breaking The Seal

“Help me control the flame!”

Inside the courtyard house, Han Yunfeng was sitting cross-legged, performing the hand signs to execute a Dharmic formulation while streaks of the lively flame licked the pill furnace.

“Flame Control Technique!”

Fang Yuan assisted him perfectly while absorbing Han Yunfeng’s alchemy techniques at the same time.

“The mid-tier brain development drug is almost at the difficulty of high-tier pills. On top of that, it uses costly ingredients! A Zerg King is a Zerg Empress’s general, a leader of the Zerg army. Its brain nucleus is naturally very valuable!”

The Zerg was one of the largest powers within the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance. They were also humanity’s greatest enemy.

Their organizational structure was compact. The Zerg Empress sat at the top of the hierarchy, and it could use mind control to manipulate all of its subordinates. It also gave birth to an entire Zerg tribe. The mother nest even had the ability of interstellar travel.

Whenever they reached a planet with abundant resources, they would light the flames of war, consume everything like locusts, and then continue to wander the universe.

The most terrifying thing was the Zerg’s reproductive ability. Furthermore, the Zerg Empress could strengthen and modify a Zerg’s skills in accordance to the situation. It was said that the Zerg Empress’s intelligence was not inferior to an Arcanist!

“The brain development drug was inspired by research into the Zerg’s brainwave. The low-tier brain development drug only requires an elite Zerg brain nucleus. Meanwhile, the mid-tier brain development drug requires the use of a Zerg King brain nucleus. Finally, the legendary high-tier brain development drug requires a Zerg Empress brain nucleus!”

An Empress was a Zerg tribe’s leader. You could only obtain its brain nucleus by eliminating an entire Zerg tribe. Even the Human Alliance found this difficult to accomplish.

“Even though a Zerg Empress brain nucleus can be split into many parts to be used as materials, if the refinement fails, the cost you’d pay would be worth dying for...”

Combined with the knowledge that he had learned recently, Fang Yuan finally understood why refining the high-tier brain development drug was so suffocating.

“And, compared to this, there are even rarer materials required for supplementing a cultivator’s spiritual roots. Most of these are highly sought-after and difficult to get your hands on...”

Fang Yuan’s Demon God True Spirit meant he was overqualified for this.

While helping Han Yunfeng with concocting the pill, he continued to absorb his techniques. Finally, he even had the extra attention to surf the web and search for more information to enrich his knowledge.

“A low-tier brain development drug is probably worth a hundred credits! And each low-tier brain development drug costs about fifty credits to make. This is still profitable!”

Fang Yuan thought about the high-tech fusion reactor furnace in the basement.

The level of his spiritual will was at a completely different level compared to other pharmacy university students.

Most of these students’ spiritual will was not sufficient to meet the criteria for refining the low-tier brain development drug. It was also challenging for them to coordinate with a smart-brain. However, this task was as simple as sipping water to Fang Yuan.

“If I think about it this way, there’s definitely a market if I sell these pills at a lower price!”

Even though the students admitted to East Dragon University might not care about the low-tier brain development drug, Fang Yuan thought about the students on Planet Blue Ray. Even the students in Flying Rainbow High’s key classes might not have consumed it before.

It was not that they did not have the money, but that the students had no access.

For this type of drug, the supply did not meet the demand.

“I’m sure all these students have siblings and family that need this too... Furthermore, it’s not very hard to obtain the materials to make the low-tier drug. If all else fails, I can use my credits to purchase them...”

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Fang Yuan sensed something amiss with Han Yunfeng’s current state.

The entire pill furnace vibrated violently, and the flame suddenly flickered. Something happened while the drugs were fusing.

“Ah! Flame Regulation Technique!”

With his technique, the flame turned green and stabilized once again. “Teacher, focus on your drug fusion. Leave the flame to me!”

“All right!” Han Yunfeng grit his teeth. “Thousand Spiritual Will Control!”

His spiritual will spiraled and seeped into the pill furnace.

Rumble!

The pill furnace vibrated violently. Soon, a ball of yellow liquid surrounded by wisps of spiritual will floated out of the furnace.

“Haha, the mid-tier brain development drug is complete!”

Han Yunfeng filled a test tube with the liquid. He turned to Fang Yuan. “My dear student, Lin Meng, you have amazing flame control... As your reward, I’ll give you an additional hundred credits!”

“Thank you, Teacher!” Fang Yuan replied calmly. “After studying under you, I’ve become much more interested in concocting pills. If it’s possible, I would like to use the fusion reactor furnace in the basement too. Of course, I’ll use it when Teacher isn’t using it.”

“Sure... Even though the school has reactor furnaces for rent, it costs a lot of credits...” Han Yunfeng did not seem too surprised. “You want to refine some low-tier drugs to put up for credits, right? As a new student, you’re probably in need of credits!

“However, I have to warn you. Even for low-tier drugs, an apprentice like you has a high chance of failing. When the time comes, you might not see many returns!”

“I understand...” Fang Yuan displayed a humble attitude.

On the other hand, Han Yunfeng’s eyes sparkled. “I’m planning to write a paper on ancient alchemy techniques. Go ahead and practice what you need to. Also, if you can maintain this progress until your second year, I might take you in as my student!”

As an alchemy master, countless students wanted to be his student. However, Han Yunfeng had high expectations, so he rarely accepted any.

The reason he decided to do so was purely because of Fang Yuan’s talent in this area.

“Thank you, Teacher!”

Fang Yuan bowed before leaving the courtyard house.

...

Night.

Within his dorm, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged and controlled the cultivation progress within his entire body using the smart-brain. Channeling the spiritual energy, he made more progress.

He was like a black hole, greedily devouring the energy particles around him.

Crack!

Soon after, a loud sound resounded within his body.

“Have I reached level four Mystic?”

After getting to the next level, Fang Yuan muttered to himself. At the same time, he sensed a mysterious change within him.

It was a feeling akin to breaking through a membrane, feeling as though Fang Yuan fit in with this world entirely. Wisps of warm energy began circulating within this body.

“The stats window has unlocked!” Fang Yuan had a revelation. “Within this world, I can fully utilize ninety percent of my main body’s power! Even though I’m just a normal cultivator now, I can recover my power to that extent with time!”

As usual, the East Dragon University’s night was peaceful. Not a single teacher or student knew that a terrifying existence had completely arrived in this world!

“Name: Fang Yuan (Lin Meng)

Profession: Dream Master, East Dragon University Student

Cultivation: Mystic (Level 4), Arcanist (Level 1)

Techniques: Flame Control Technique, Breath Holding Technique (Modified)

Skills: Alchemy (Elementary)

Power Recovered: 0.01%!”

...

“Once I recover to my main body’s power, will the stats window show a mix of the two bodies’ abilities?”

Fang Yuan analyzed the stats window carefully. When he saw that Alchemy had become one of his skills, he was a little surprised. “With this, I can use proficiency to improve Alchemy quickly.

“Furthermore, I need to start my search for the material that the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique needs soon.”

If he was just a little Mystic before, the current Fang Yuan now held terrifying combat power as a recovering Demon God!

With every moment, his strength continued to grow until the limit of ninety percent. Once he recovered his combat power, even though he had not seen the top combat power of this world— the Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists—and had some reservations, there were absolutely no restrictions in other aspects.

“However, since I’ve broken the seal, that Abominable Lord should be almost there too...”

No matter how confident he was with his stats window, Fang Yuan would never look down on a Netherheaven Demon God.

His Dao path was complete, which was enough for him to recover his combat power quickly in this world.

His Dao path itself might be enough to face a high-level world’s Heavenly Dao!

“I wonder if I can destroy East Dragon University on my own once I’ve recovered my full power...”

Looking at the outside restrictions, Fang Yuan suddenly had an idea and smiled shortly after.

...

Even though the stats window had broken the seal, power had to be earned.

Fang Yuan still needed some time before he could recover to ninety percent of his main body’s power.

Other than that, there was a huge benefit. Fang Yuan could use proficiency to raise the level of Alchemy.

Even if this world’s alchemy was guided by science and fused with the merits of ancient cultivation, he felt that it was not a big deal.

He could refine some drugs at will and improve it with proficiency.

...

Courtyard house, basement.

“Ding! Task set: Refine low-tier brain development drug. The main ingredient is an elite Zerg brain nucleus. The other ingredients are 3-in-1 Flowing Water, Sky Green Twigs, Bodhi Beads...”

As the robotic voice listed the ingredients, Fang Yuan used the materials he had exchanged for using his credits and inserted them into the reactor furnace. “Since its a modern drug, it’ll probably be much more successful using a modern reactor furnace...”

Han Yunfeng wanted to use the bronze cauldron to refine the mid-tier brain development drug. This was not because he was going crazy. Instead, he wanted a taste of what it was like to use ancient methods in their shoes. He wanted to increase his chances of success at refining the high-tier brain development drug.

But to Fang Yuan, his credits were far more critical.

“Commence fusion reaction!”

The smart-brain’s response came. Within the reactor furnace, a flame started to form.

“This refinement has thirty-three points that require the input of spiritual power and seventeen points that require the spiritual will’s coordination. There can not be more than a 0.5-second delay!”

The difference in difficulty between the low-tier brain development drug and the Qi Enhancement Pill was quite significant. If Fang Yuan had not reached level four Mystic, the requirements for spiritual power would not have been easy to fulfill.

As for the spiritual will control, it was a piece of cake for him.

“Let’s begin!”

Fang Yuan extended both hands and pressed them into the metal palm prints. He channeled his spiritual power gently while his eyes remained glued on the reactor furnace.
