Through repeated practice and failure, Ye Chen gradually grasped the core mystery of the art of alchemy: the true essence of alchemy lies not only in masterful technique and profound cultivation methods, but even more so in the alchemist's own internal cultivation—that is, the density and depth of the immortal energy within their body.
Ye Chen realized that the process of alchemy is, in essence, a manifestation of cultivating both the inner and outer self. While external skills and tools are important, the key factor that determines the quality of the elixir is how the alchemist utilizes their own internal immortal energy. The deeper and more refined the immortal energy, the more precisely and efficiently one can extract the purest, most concentrated spiritual essence from spiritual herbs, thereby refining high-grade elixirs.
This realization revealed to him the true path to improving his alchemical skills. Fortunately, through his rigorous training and experiences, the immortal energy accumulated within Ye Chen had become as vast as a boundless ocean—a unique advantage he possessed. His cultivation was deep, and his immortal energy was both dense and pure, which undoubtedly provided a solid foundation for refining even higher-grade elixirs.
