Chapter 1239: Making a Fortune by Accident

"Alright, let’s give it a try." Han Yan took the Pill Furnace.

...

In less than an hour, the chubby man widened his eyes again, looking at Han Yan as if she were a monster.

Impossible! Although the Seven Transformation Qi Pill wasn’t truly a top-grade elixir, and the techniques used weren’t particularly profound, he himself had spent more than half a year mastering this set of techniques, while Han Yan had grasped nearly all of it after just watching it once.

"If all you have are these petty skills, don’t bother showing them off. And by the way, I haven’t taken you as my master, so stop calling yourself ’Master’ at every turn. Even if you’re not embarrassed, I am." Han Yan continued to twist the knife into the chubby man’s wound.

Truth be told, this lecherous chubby man consistently surprised Han Yan, not only having extraordinary skills in Alchemy but also mastering Alchemy Technique to an astonishing degree.

Although it wasn’t her first time refining the Seven Transformation Qi Pill, even if it was of average quality, it couldn’t be completed without four hours. However, by learning the other party’s alchemy techniques and combining them with her own insights, she not only successfully refined it within an hour, but the quality also improved significantly.

However, since she neither wished to acknowledge him as a master nor wanted to see him display those skills, Lady Mu couldn’t give him too much credit, and therefore continued to provoke him.

"A mere Seven Transformation Qi Pill can’t showcase my true skills. Let me show you what real alchemy is!" Feng Qingyu, thoroughly provoked by Han Yan, quickly snatched the Alchemy Furnace in front of her.

In Han Yan’s eyes, a sly smile like that of a little fox appeared once again.

...

Unknowingly, a day had passed.

As the sunset hung on the horizon, casting golden rays, dozens of top-grade elixirs were scattered across the table.

However, the lecherous chubby man no longer had the spirited look he had in the morning; his face was as dark as if it could drip ink.

"Chubby, if your alchemy skills are just like this, I suggest you drop the idea of apprenticeship, as I can’t afford to lose face," Han Yan said with a playful smile.

"Hmph, in such a short time, it’s hard to produce a decent elixir, and it doesn’t truly reflect my abilities. Next time, when I’m free, I’ll refine a top-grade elixir for you to see, and you will surely be convinced." Feng Qingyu said, flinging his robe with determination before striding away with his head held high.

Watching him walk away, Han Yan finally burst into laughter.

"Master, Master!" At the door, Gu Yushu’s voice sounded both joyous and excited.

"What’s wrong?" Han Yan asked.

"We’ve hit the jackpot, we’re rich!" Gu Yushu laughed, shaking his chubby body with delight.

Even the always-calm Tan Yu had a bright smile, his eyes sparkling.

"You’ve never seen such a scene before, selling just over thirty million and you’re already so thrilled," Ling Baobao said with disdain.

"Those magic artifacts sold for more than thirty million?" Han Yan was a bit surprised.

Although she guessed the artifacts were valuable, she hadn’t expected them to be so valuable. After all, the Meteorite Gold used to make those artifacts was quite ordinary, and the time spent wasn’t long. Han Yan had thought it would be good if one could sell for tens of millions, so she didn’t expect each piece to sell for two to three million.

"What’s so strange about that? Alchemists and Artifact Refiners are the most profitable professions. You didn’t know that?" Ling Baobao remarked indifferently.

However, he only spoke half the truth. For excellent alchemists and artifact refiners (equivalent to alchemists on the Holy Court Continent), it’s indeed the most profitable profession, but for ordinary people, artifact refining bankrupts three generations, alchemy ruins a lifetime.

"Hey, this is..." Ling Baobao’s eyes lit up as he saw the elixirs on the table.

Although these elixirs were casually thrown on the table, each one was crystal clear and fragrant, evidently rare good pills.

"Just refined today." Han Yan said calmly.

Thanks to Feng Qingyu’s seemingly reluctant expression of knowledge, Han Yan’s alchemy techniques had made significant progress, so she didn’t pay much attention to these elixirs.

"It seems you’re not too concerned about these elixirs, so why don’t I try selling them at the workshop before it closes?" Ling Baobao said, swallowing, with eyes sparkling with greed.

"Alright, I’ll keep a few, and you can take the rest to the workshop," Han Yan selected the ones with the best quality and strongest Dan Power for Huayue and others, and gave the rest to Ling Baobao.

As long as there were enough medicinal herbs, refining these elixirs posed no challenge for her; however, her silver notes were getting thinner, making it difficult for Lady Mu, who was accustomed to a life of luxury, to adapt.

In the end, Lady Mu was still accustomed to her former wasteful, playboy lifestyle.

Ling Baobao picked up the elixirs and, along with Tan Yu and Yu Shulin Feng brothers, headed joyfully to the workshop.

"We’re rich, really rich this time, hahaha." As the sun set and Huayue and Zirong just returned to the yard, Ling Baobao’s ecstatic laughter sounded from outside.

"How much did you make this time?" Han Yan asked curiously.

Seeing even the usually prideful Ling Baobao so delighted, it seemed those elixirs were quite lucrative.

"Just over twenty pills, sold for more than sixty million, hahaha." Ling Baobao said with excitement.

Han Yan clicked her tongue silently. Considering the medicinal herbs needed for making these elixirs were far cheaper than the Meteorite Gold used for alchemy. Although alchemy skills were indeed more challenging to master than Alchemy Technique, once learned, the difficulty of application was the same.

For Han Yan, refining these elixirs, in terms of materials and time spent, was much less demanding than refining those magic artifacts, but they sold for nearly the same price, which was indeed an unexpected delight. Ling Baobao understood this well and was utterly joyful, realizing the big profit.

Han Yan couldn’t help but think of Feng Qingyu, although the chubby man was a bit lecherous, his mastery of strange and mysterious arts was truly astonishing, leaving one in awe. If he weren’t so lecherous, taking him as a master might have been a good choice.

But thinking of the chubby man’s mysterious and mischievous behaviors, Han Yan twitched her mouth and resolutely dismissed the idea.

"These elixirs are for you," Han Yan distributed the previously kept elixirs to Huayue and others, including the three Tan Yushu and Yu Shulin Feng brothers.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Knowing the real value of these elixirs, Tan Yu was genuinely moved, and the Yu Shulin Feng brothers, being straightforward, shed tears of gratitude.
