857 Closed-Door Alchemy, Breakthrough Is Imminent

After the graduation ceremony, Chu Yunfan's university life was finally over. He had no intention of continuing his studies.

The instructors of Federation University tried their best to persuade him to stay as Chu Yunfan was now like a living billboard. If he continued to study and stayed for a few more years, Federation University would surely reap the benefits.

Chu Yunfan didn't mind putting his name on the list, but he didn't have time to deal with these things for the time being. There were still many things he needed to deal with.

When Chu Yunfan got back to the Chus' ancestral home, he saw Chu Haoyue covered in blood. It was obvious that he had just gone through a tough battle and had immediately rushed here after being treated.

Spotting Chu Yunfan, Chu Haoyue grinned and said, "This is a little embarrassing. Sorry for my appearance. This operation has been in the works for a long time. We surrounded and killed a Divine monster. We've been watching that beast for a long time and it just broke through. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten such an opportunity."

Chu Yunfan looked at Chu Haoyue. This man was the junior leader of the Chu clan—the future clan leader. Under normal circumstances, he would have remained in an absolutely safe place. But now, it was clear that he was heavily injured. One could imagine how dangerous the battle had been, and many experts had probably been lost.

However, the fact that the Chu clan was able to kill a Divine monster showed that they had a strong foundation. Any one of the eight great families was no small matter, and the power which was able to threaten a Divine monster was no joke.

"We don't possess your strength, so we had to use other methods. I'll send you the monster's inner core soon and shall leave the rest to you," Chu Haoyue said with a smile.

"You guys are still too reckless. You should have waited for the Great Ancestor to return first. With his strength, he would've easily defeated that monster. Things would've been much easier that way," Chu Yunfan said with a frown.

"The Great Ancestor is fighting for treasures in outer space and won't be back for a while, and we can't wait any longer. Besides, if we trouble the Great Ancestor for everything, we would be useless," Chu Haoyue said, "Don't be too surprised. This is normal for big families like ours. If we don't possess even this one bit of courage, we wouldn't be able to hold on to our roots.

"Well then, I shall leave the rest in your hands, Chu Yunfan."

"All right, I'll do my best to help you enter the Divine Abilities Stage."

Chu Yunfan pondered for a moment. His way of thinking was different from Chu Haoyue's because the environment he grew up in had been very different. However, he would not rashly deny this value.

Chu Haoyue smiled and left to continue his treatment. He also wanted to welcome the next breakthrough in his best condition.

After all that family politics, he soon would be receiving the Divinity Nourishment Pill that Chu Yunfan made. Of course, his identity and strength were some of the factors that made him the receiver of this miracle. The most important thing was that Chu Yunfan had made it clear that it was to return the favor.

This made the other higher-ups of the Chus speechless. After all, only had never hesitated to support Chu Yunfan many times and protect his family in the past. Now was the time to reap the rewards.

Soon, the inner core of the Divine monster was delivered to Chu Yunfan. The fist-sized core didn't look very big, but it contained a terrifying amount of energy. Its quality was on par with the one Chu Yunfan had obtained from the Stellaris sect previously.

Chu Yunfan went into absolute seclusion. Compared to the last time, the process of making the pill was undoubtedly much smoother and easier this time around.

The Chus supplied him with all sorts of materials in a steady stream. The wealth of the Chus was far greater than Jeang Yuanbin's had been. Although his instructor had accumulated a lot of wealth, it was nothing compared to the Chus'.

Seeing all kinds of ingredients and materials being sent to Chu Yunfan's villa every day, the members of the clan started to get a little anxious, but no one dared to disturb him.

In addition to the ingredients needed to refine the Divinity Nourishment Pill, Chu Yunfan also asked for a large number of pills usually used by Innates. If an ordinary Innate expert took any one of these pills, their cultivation would improve by a lot and they would need a long time to digest it.

However, with Chu Yunfan's current cultivation level, he was able to absorb the medicinal pills as if he was the ocean. After consuming these pills, he would completely digest them in less than half a day.

Although his current combat strength was comparable to a Divine expert, he was still only in the Innate Stage. The medicinal pills he needed to take were Innate Stage medicinal pills.

It wasn't that Chu Yunfan couldn't make these pills, but he didn't have the time to do so. At the same time, the speed at which he consumed these Innate pills rendered the Chus speechless.

Chu Yunfan didn't refuse any medicinal pill as his Imperial Physique could absorb them for his use without any side effects. The amount consumed every day alone would cost him over a billion dollars. He was not cultivating, but he was consuming money.

Who in the world could swallow money this fast?

Even a behemoth like the Chu clan couldn't help but feel their eyelids twitch when faced with this gold-guzzling beast. If this went on, the number of medicinal pills Chu Yunfan needed to consume in a year would cause problems for the clan's cash flow.

However, at this critical juncture, they didn't dare to disobey Chu Yunfan's will. After all, Chu Yunfan was now the living billboard of the Chu clan. The stronger he was, the more benefits it would bring to the Chu clan.

And for Chu Yunfan, what he needed right now was a large amount of Spirit Energy to help him open up all the meridians in his body and break through to the eighth Innate Stage.

His strength would then further improve. Although the consumption of funds was massive, for him, the most important thing was to convert that money into strength.

These pills were enough to make an ordinary person explode, but Chu Yunfan consumed them day and night, forcefully converting them into his strength. He only needed to check on the alchemist furnace next to him from time to time.

With the Alchemy Emperor's memories, Chu Yunfan was not afraid of any problems. Everything was under his control.

After crazily consuming medicinal pills for a whole month, Chu Yunfan's body was finally filled with all kinds of terrifying medicinal power. They began to boil, and he began to circulate the Emperor Method and began to mobilize the medicinal powers, turning them into a powerful force and began to break through to the eighth Innate Stage.

"Now that I've accumulated enough, it's time to break through to the eighth Innate Stage!" Chu Yunfan said suddenly as his eyes flew open.
