Ye Chen, who had returned to his room, was still a bit annoyed, feeling that his performance was severely inconsistent with his identity as a Transmigrator.
It was just the simplest medicinal material refinement; for him, a Transmigrator protagonist with a Golden Finger, shouldn't it have been a piece of cake?
Why was his success rate not even forty percent?
However, fortunately, Ye Chen was not truly a six-year-old child, but an adult with a mature Heart-Nature, so after failing, he could summarize his experiences and lessons.
Although his current talent and potential were both very strong, far exceeding ordinary people in Soul Power and flame, his Soul control was far too crude…
Thinking carefully about his previous failures, apart from a few times due to inadequate flame control, the rest were because his Soul Power was too sluggish, failing to grasp the most appropriate timing, which led to the medicinal materials being damaged.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen secretly pondered: "As for flame control, it's fine for now, after all, there are 2 points from the Star Diagram's enhancement, but this Soul control is the top priority right now!"
Soul control is not determined by potential and talent; it requires a lot of practice to master…
Of course, it would be even better if he could use Star Essence to add points.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen's current Star Essence was still insufficient; it would take at least several months to light up the third point of Star Soul.
"Then I can't just let it go during this time. I still need to work hard and practice more; I can't rely solely on the Golden Finger, can I?"
Having made up his mind, Ye Chen leaped directly from the bed and quickly rushed towards the Ye Family Old Ancestor's Alchemist room.
When Ye Chen arrived at the Alchemist room again, he happened to meet Ye Zhong, who was about to leave.
"Oh? Grandpa, why are you here?" Ye Chen asked curiously, though he hadn't considered that Ye Zhong had come specifically for him.
Seeing Ye Chen in such a rush, the Ye Family Old Ancestor and Ye Zhong were also curious and asked, "Ye Chen, is something happening that you're in such a hurry?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just feel I've rested enough and can continue practicing medicinal material refinement."
The Ye Family Old Ancestor and Ye Zhong were both slightly surprised upon hearing this, clearly not expecting Ye Chen to have such a thought.
Although both were pleased with Ye Chen's performance, he was still a six-year-old child, and they couldn't let him overexert himself, as it would be harmful to his body.
Thinking of this, the Ye Family Old Ancestor smiled and said, "Ye Chen, let's stop the medicinal material refinement for today. We can continue tomorrow."
Ye Chen frowned his small eyebrows. Did he want to work hard but couldn't?
"What should I do next? Cultivate Battle Qi? Read Alchemist scriptures?"
It wasn't even noon yet; was today just going to pass like this? Wouldn't that be too much of a waste of time!
Looking at Ye Chen's expression, a hint of heartache flashed in Ye Zhong's eyes.
His little grandson had been so sensible since childhood…
While other six-year-old children were still running around in groups playing outside, he already had to bear the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Family. It was truly not easy!
Unfortunately, Ye Chen didn't know what his cheap grandfather was thinking.
Otherwise, he would definitely tell him: You're overthinking it!
The reason he didn't play wildly like those children was because he had already passed that age in his previous life.
There were no computers, no mobile phones, and not even novels here. If he didn't find something to do, was he just going to lie down and wait for death?
Alas, he was still too young…
With these small arms and legs, he couldn't even find a Young Miss. It was a waste of his identity!
Looking at Ye Chen's frowning expression, Ye Zhong thought for a moment, took out a red scroll, and said, "How about this? After watching your Alchemist process this morning, your control over flames is still somewhat lacking. This Flame Control Art records the Ye Family's techniques for flame control over the years. You can take some time to look at it and familiarize yourself with it."
Originally, this item was only taught when Ye Family disciples could condense real flames. It not only contained tricks for controlling flames but also many methods for attacking with flames, which were the most basic combat methods for Alchemist. So, after receiving the scroll, Ye Chen's face also showed a look of surprise.
"Great, then I'll go practice…"
Taking the scroll, Ye Chen left in a hurry once more.
The Ye Family Old Ancestor and Ye Zhong behind him both nodded in satisfaction.
"Cough, cough…" Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cough sounded, startling Ye Zhong.
"Old Ancestor!" Ye Zhong turned his head and saw that the Ye Family Old Ancestor's face had turned pale.
Upon closer inspection, he even noticed traces of blood at the Old Ancestor's mouth…
"It's nothing!"
Ye Xun waved his hand, signaling Ye Zhong to calm down.
His body was already at the end of its rope; if it weren't for Ye Chen's birth, the Ye Family Old Ancestor might have already passed away two years ago.
It was only after truly discovering Ye Chen's powerful talent that the Ye Family Old Ancestor endured immense pain and forcibly extended his life by three years…
At this moment, his entire body was completely empty. Unless there was a peerless Medicinal Pill that could truly bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones, any life-extending Medicinal Pill would be useless to him.
Taking out a scarlet Medicinal Pill, like blood, Ye Xun swallowed it directly into his stomach, and then his entire face began to turn rosy…
However, Ye Zhong, seeing this scene, had no joy on his face; in fact, there was even a hint of sorrow.
"Hehe, this Boiling Blood Pill seems to be losing its effect soon… Ye Zhong, promise me, if I die, no matter the cost, even if it means sacrificing the entire Ye Family, you must Cultivate Ye Chen into a talent! Do you understand?"
The Boiling Blood Pill was originally a forbidden Medicinal Pill, a Medicinal Pill that forcibly infused life force, and the pain it brought to the user was simply unimaginable for ordinary people.
This Medicinal Pill was originally taken once every three months, but now, Ye Xun had to take one every three days…
The day the Boiling Blood Pill completely lost its effect would be the day Ye Xun died!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhong completely suppressed the sorrow on his face and said in a deep voice, "Old Ancestor, rest assured, Ye Zhong will definitely not let you down!"
With that, he left with heavy steps.
He knew that in the time to come, the Old Ancestor would need a day to refine the medicinal power, meaning that the inhuman pain would last for nearly a day…
Whenever he thought of this, Ye Zhong's heart trembled.
He simply couldn't imagine how an old man in his twilight years could endure all of this!
