[As Hu Fangshan is a 1st-grade alchemist, returning 1000×...]
[Ding! The host has become a 4th-grade Alchemist!]
A flood of information invaded Yang Hu's mind at that moment.
The way to perfectly control the flame, the temperature, the timing of the process, and other essential aspects.
In addition to the techniques to purify each type of material, the experience of refining all kinds of elixirs...
It was as if the world around him had stopped.
Only Yang Hu existed, and the only reason for his existence was to practice alchemy.
Yang Hu did not know how much time had passed until he finally opened his eyes.
"4th-grade Alchemist!" Yang Hu exhaled, his eyes full of excitement.
Even compared to a short while ago, when he became a Grandmaster, his happiness was even greater.
There were several Grandmasters in the city of Luoyang, but he did not know if there was even a single 4th-grade Alchemist in the city!
Just by this fact alone, he would probably be treated as an honored guest wherever he went in the city, and even the city lord would give him some consideration.
After all, only 4th-grade Alchemists are capable of making 4th-tier pills that are useful for a Grandmaster's cultivation!
But this was not what made Yang Hu the happiest.
Although the status of an alchemist was extremely high and many would want to curry favor with him, Yang Hu understood that nothing was more important than his personal strength.
What truly filled him with excitement was a pill that appeared in his mind.
Bone Rebirth Pill, a third-tier pill!
This pill was capable of making Yang Hu walk again!
However, when Yang Hu saw the materials needed to make such a pill, his mouth could not help but twitch.
So expensive!
Just one set of these materials would not be less than the cost of 3 million yuan!
You know... Yang Hu did not even have 2,000 yuan, let alone 3 million.
Not to mention that alchemy was not guaranteed to succeed, and if it failed, the entire set of medicinal materials would be completely destroyed.
Of course... in return, the price of a Bone Rebirth Pill was on average 70 million federal coins.
A profit of nearly 20× in the best case.
"Alchemist really is a profitable profession!"
"I'm afraid even the corpse of a third-tier beast wouldn't reach 10 million," Yang Hu sighed lightly.
But Yang Hu was not discouraged at all.
He only began to plan how he could quickly make money to be able to buy the pill materials.
The first thing that came to Yang Hu's mind was naturally to go register as a Grandmaster and directly receive a subsidy of 10 million.
But this idea was soon extinguished in his mind.
A Grandmaster so young probably had never existed in all of history!
If it were discovered that he had become a Grandmaster, such a matter would alarm almost the entire Martial Alliance, and even a Martial King — or even a Martial Sovereign — would personally come to see him.
Although that was not exactly bad, he would probably become a training focus of the entire alliance.
Useless!
Although his cultivation was also 1000× greater than Hu Fangshan's, and his talent had also been increased by the same proportion.
In the same way that Hu Fangshan would probably not be able to reach the Master realm in his life, Yang Hu would not be able to reach Martial King in his entire life.
Of course... with the help of the system and more summoned characters, this would soon change everything.
You know, his younger sister's realm only went from 8-star Martial Apprentice to 9-star Martial Apprentice — and what about when she reaches the Warrior realm?
Master?
Grandmaster?
How terrifying would the rewards be?
By then, even a Martial Sovereign would be nothing in front of Yang Hu.
Besides, Yang Hu liked control, and exposing his talent could also create countless problems — such as other countries wanting to target him or things like that.
Although in the current situation of the world this was extremely rare, it was not impossible!
Besides, even if it were a friendly Martial Sovereign, Yang Hu did not like the feeling of someone being able to control his life and death with a single thought.
And there was no advantage in exposing himself like that.
Wasn't it better to live in Luoyang City where he was almost invincible?
Besides, he had no plans to hide his strength — he just would not register it or draw attention right away.
Although most of these things were guesses, there was one part that was certain:
If he registered, he would have to go through a series of tests that would completely expose his strength.
And weaknesses...
And that would definitely end up directly on the table of the major forces in the city.
Besides, now that he had the cultivation of a Grandmaster, was it really that hard to get money?
The answer is no!
As long as he left the city and hunted some 3rd- or 4th-tier beast, without any exaggeration, that would already be enough to buy the materials for the pill.
He even turned his gaze to Hu Fangshan, who was still kneeling in front of him.
As a 1st-grade alchemist, even he would not find it impossible to accumulate three million in a few months or years.
Much less him — who was a 4th-grade Alchemist!
The only 4th-grade alchemist in the city of Luoyang!
"However..." Yang Hu showed a bitter smile.
Although alchemist was a good profession, he barely had money to buy the materials for a first-tier pill, let alone a more advanced pill.
And if he were to leave the city...
Looking down and seeing his completely disabled legs, this idea was immediately extinguished in his mind.
Without moving his legs, leaving the city was extremely risky.
Not to mention a 4th-tier beast, which was equivalent to a Grandmaster, even a peak 3rd-tier beast would already be troublesome for him to deal with.
After all, Hu Fangshan was just an alchemist who had almost no combat experience and no martial arts.
Even if his strength and techniques had been returned a thousand times, that did not greatly improve his combat efficiency.
"Forget it," Yang Hu decided to put this matter aside and turned his gaze to Hu Fangshan, who was kneeling.
"What am I going to do with you?"
Just a few minutes ago, when Yang Hu did not know he could receive a thousand times the cultivation of the people he summoned, Hu Fangshan had been extremely useful to him.
After all, alchemists — even 1st-grade ones — were an incredible source of money.
But now that he had become a 4th-grade alchemist... it did not seem so good.
Any pill that Hu Fangshan could make, he could make with much better quality and several times faster.
Besides, Hu Fangshan had no identity, nor any background, which was really a bit troublesome.
He could not let him stay in his house, right?
There was not even an extra room!
