"boom!"As expected, Cui Lingshuang failed in refining the elixir.Seeing that Chen Changsheng was still calmly putting herbs into the alchemy furnace, Cui Lingshuang gritted her teeth and continued to refine the elixir.A cup of tea passed, and Chen Changsheng had finished administering all the medicinal materials, but Cui Lingshuang failed three times in a row.Three consecutive failures had used up all the medicinal herbs Cui Lingshuang had."This doesn't make sense. I didn't even prepare the ingredients for this recipe. How could I possibly make it successfully?"Cui Lingshuang, who was unable to refine the elixir, began to make excuses for herself, while Chen Changsheng calmed down the fire in the furnace and took out a seventh-grade pill from the furnace."You did not prepare the corresponding medicinal materials, but I did not prepare them either. So why was I able to refine it successfully?""People who fail often make excuses for themselves, while successful people find solutions for themselves.""Alchemy is a complicated and tedious task, because not only do you have to balance the medicinal properties of multiple herbs, but you also have to deal with many conflicts that are not listed in the recipe.""For example, the flames you use, the alchemy furnace, and the subtle changes in the medicinal properties of herbs from different origins.""With so many factors combined, no one can give a standard answer.""The only solution is to rely on your experience and talent."As he spoke, Chen Changsheng handed the pill in his hand to Cui Lingshuang."The two pills we just refined are of cold attribute, while our two pill furnaces are of fire attribute.""Using a fire-attributed alchemy furnace to refine cold-attributed elixirs will definitely cause conflicts.""Besides that, the herbs we used were not completely in accordance with the recipe.""This also makes it impossible for us to refine the elixir according to the steps in the recipe.""The inability to solve these unexpected problems is enough to prove that your basics are not up to standard."Hearing this, the corners of Cui Lingshuang's mouth trembled slightly."So...how did you do that?"“Experience and intuition.”"What do you mean?""My experience tells me what to do when dealing with these conflicts."“When my experience doesn’t reveal any relevant cases, my intuition will tell me what to do.”"What people call talent is the intuition that some people are born with, which is almost abnormal.""We have all refined a third-grade cold-attribute elixir. I have accumulated a little bit of experience, and then I can draw inferences from this little bit of experience.""But you have no idea what's going on, so when you face the more complex and conflicting seventh-grade elixir, you have no way to solve it."After saying this, Chen Changsheng returned the alchemy furnace to Cui Lingshuang, and then continued to copy the jade slips."Then do I still have hope of becoming a ninth-grade alchemist?"Cui Lingshuang, who had completely come to her senses, stepped forward to ask, and Chen Changsheng handed her a teacup.This time, Cui Lingshuang no longer resisted, but willingly served tea and water to Chen Changsheng.After taking a sip of hot tea, Chen Changsheng spoke."As long as you study hard, you have hope of becoming a ninth-grade alchemist, and you also have hope of becoming a golden alchemist.""But didn't you say I have no talent?""When I say you have no talent, that's when you're compared to top talents like Guan Ping and Chen Feng. It doesn't mean you have no talent at all.""Besides, if you don't have enough talent, you can make up for it with hard work.""Platinum gold alchemy master, purple gold alchemy master, red gold alchemy master, and even immortal alchemy master.""These alchemy realms do require great talent, but your goal is not this. Your goal is only to become a ninth-grade alchemist or a golden alchemist." Hearing this, Cui Lingshuang scratched his head and smiled, "That's right, at most I just want to be a golden pill master, I don't expect to reach a higher level.""But if I refine more pills, can I really break through to the ninth-grade alchemist?""must be able to!""For geniuses, they can draw inferences from one example and even learn without a teacher.""But in this world, there are always some people who can surpass themselves through hard work.""Throw a punch a million times, and your punches will shake the mountains and rivers. Throw a sword a million times, and your sword will split the sky and earth."“Things like alchemy, let alone refining pills a million times, as long as you can refine 500,000 furnaces of pills, you will definitely be a golden pill master.”"As for those superb alchemy techniques that are exclusive to Golden Alchemy Masters, as long as you have enough basics, you can learn them slowly."“If one year doesn’t work, then ten years. If ten years doesn’t work, then a hundred years. If a hundred years doesn’t work, then a thousand years.”"Some individual skills can be learned if you spend enough time on them."After listening to Chen Changsheng's words, Cui Lingshuang's confidence was rekindled."I understand. I will definitely refine 500,000 furnaces of elixirs. I want to use my efforts to prove to the world that I, Cui Lingshuang, am not a mediocre person."He encouraged himself with full confidence, and then Cui Lingshuang asked casually."Since a Golden Pill Master and a Ninth-Rank Pill Master can achieve this through hard work, why are there so few Pill Masters?""Because I have no money!" Chen Changsheng said calmly: "'Wealth, companions, Dharma and place' are the four elements of cultivation.""For alchemists, these four elements are more obvious."“It takes a lot of perseverance and determination to throw a million punches.”"To refine a pill worth 500,000, not only does it require perseverance and determination, but it also requires a lot of money.""Determination and perseverance are things you can have as long as you want them.""But money is something that can disappear if you say it's gone. It's useless even if you think about it.""To refine a furnace of the cheapest first-grade elixir, it costs twenty source pills. To refine a furnace of the top-level ninth-grade elixir, it costs at least one million source pills.""Assuming 500,000 furnaces of pills, the cost of each furnace is 50,000 source pills.""Then the cost of forcing a cultivator with no talent to the level of a Golden Pill Master is about 25 billion Source Pills."“The actual cost is much higher than this.”"How many people in this world can easily come up with 25 billion source pills?"After getting this answer, Cui Lingshuang's mouth corners began to twitch."It seems that ordinary people really can't come up with it, but those ten thousand year old aristocratic families and top forces should be able to come up with it.""Why don't they use this method to train a large number of Golden Pill Masters?""You still don't believe me when I say you're stupid. 25 billion can push a cultivator with a little talent to the fourth level of Immortal King.""If it is a cultivator with better talent, 25 billion can cultivate two fourth-grade Immortal Kings.""The higher the talent, the less resources are consumed.""There is nothing in this world but a lot of living things. Why spend money to do great things when you can spend little money?""Lu Mingyu is the Lu family's legitimate son and the first in line to the throne. His talent in business is unrivaled among his peers.""Even some veterans who have been in the business world for many years have suffered losses at his hands.""For a genius of this level, the Lu family hasn't even invested 25 billion in him. Do you think it's possible for others?"......
