Chapter 428 – Sorrows and joys not connected with the pillbugs
Chapter 428 – Not Connected to the Pillbear’s Sorrows and Happiness
The six pills were all of top quality and rich in spiritual energy.
“Such good quality, it looks like they are from the hands of a master alchemist.”
“The Light Cluster Experience Pack is just too strong, instantly allowing me to cross over from not yet initiated, to the Zong Master level.”
“Unfortunately, there are only three types of Dan Experience Packs so far, it looks like there will be a chance to try planting other spiritual plants in the future to see if I can open a Dan Experience Pack.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly.
It was extremely difficult to get started in the Dan Dao, unlike cultivating Spiritual Plants, as long as the Spiritual Qi was pure enough and the Spiritual Soil was fertile enough, there was a high probability that it would be able to mature after it was planted.
Even for a first-grade elixir, it required mastery of a rare formula, as well as skillful alchemy experience.
However, once an elixir has a shallow attainment, it can create a large amount of wealth for the alchemist.
After all, pills belonged to consumables, unlike magic artifacts, feats, and the like, which could be used for a long time after purchase, and thus, could bring a steady stream of spirit stones to the alchemist.
The richest branch hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect was none other than the Dan Hall.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you possess uncommon alchemy skills.
Before earning a large amount of spirit stones, the speed at which alchemy consumes spirit stones is also extremely terrifying.
When you are new to alchemy, most cultivators have less than a 10% probability of becoming a dan, and you need to consume a large amount of elixirs and slowly accumulate experience.
When the rate of success of pills increased to around 30%, only then could they barely break even, and around 50%, then they could make a small profit.
In the Dan Palace, if a dan master could raise the rate of pills of several low-grade pills and one third-grade and above pills to 50%, then he would be qualified to be promoted as a core dan master.
As for Lu Xuan, after absorbing the many dan formula experience packs, the success rate of the two types of pills, Peiyuan Dan Yunling Dan, was over 90% to start with, and even the core dan masters inside the Dan Palace did not have the absolute confidence to achieve such a high success rate on a certain type of pills.
“The money path is bright.”
Lu Xuan rejoiced in his heart.
Although the two pills were only first and second grade, however, with such a high rate of pills, the amount of Spirit Stones that could be earned would be a sizable amount.
“When this new batch of Hidden Yuan Grass matures and pops out a few Foundation Establishment Dan Dan Formula Experience Packs, then we can take off.”
From the previous planting of Hidden Yuan Grass, he had harvested five Foundation Establishment Dan Dan Formula Experience Packs, and with his level of refining Foundation Establishment Dan at the Proficient level, and with the conditions of the Dan Furnace and Dan Flame fulfilled, he estimated that he would be able to have a Dan completion rate of 30% to 50%.
“After the dan formation rate of the Foundation Building Dan comes up, then we can pick up spirit stones.”
“It can’t be helped, too poor, although I have a lot of magic weapon treasures, I have few spirit stones.”
Lamenting in his heart, he put the six freshly baked Peiyuan Dan into his storage bag, and was about to dispose of the materials and refine the dan again when he saw the nearly transparent medicinal substance slowly float out from the dan furnace.
As his mind condensed on this irregular translucent strange insect, Lu Xuan detected that it was empty inside, seemingly wondering why there was not much Dan Poison left inside the Dan Furnace after the alchemy.
“You little bug seems disappointed? What’s the matter, I refined a perfect quality elixir and left you empty?”
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth rose as he teased the pill bug that was changing like flowing water.
Seeing that he was preparing to refine another elixir, the Pill Bug hurriedly merged into the furnace.
The result was the same as before, Lu Xuan had successfully refined a second-grade Implicit Spirit Pill of top quality, with just a trace if any of the Dan Poison aura inside the furnace.
“Isn’t refining pills as good as having hands?”
After successfully refining seven or eight furnaces of Peiyuan Dan and Yunling Dan in a row, Lu Xuan’s heart gradually swelled up.
“It’s time to try this Beast Spirit Pill.”
He took out a copy of the free spirit medicine provided by the Dan Palace and followed the steps he had learned inside the jade slip to simply process the various materials.
Without the rich experience provided by the Dan Formula Experience Pack, the processing process immediately showed its original form, his movements becoming stuttering from the original smooth flow, stopping every now and then to recall the alchemy process in his sea of consciousness.
“Alright, it’s finally time to open the furnace and refine.”
He slowly put the various materials, in order, into the Dan furnace, controlling the Heavenly Green Dan Flame, concentrating and carefully refining. “Crap!”
On the way of refining, his spiritual sense was keenly aware of the changes inside the Dan furnace, a huge breath lifted the lid of the Dan furnace, and a piece of charred black thing flew out from inside.
Before it flew in front of Lu Xuan, the Pill Bird followed closely behind, its translucent body tightly wrapping the charred black thing, a strong feeling of joy coming from within.
These medicinal dregs could be fully described as Dan Poison Aggregates, and were considered a great tonic to it.
“The Heavenly Green Dan Flame can’t even save me.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but lament as he finally realized his true alchemy level after not having the Dan Formula Experience Pack.
He adjusted his mindset and without any discouragement, he continued to take out a Spirit Medicine Material.
The second time he refined, his movements were much smoother, but the result was unchanged.
There was still a cloud of charred black medicinal dregs flying out from inside the Dan furnace.
The Pill Critter had already prepared for a long time, and as soon as the dregs flew out of the furnace, it changed its shape and stopped the dregs in its tracks, wrapping it tightly and rejoicing inwardly.
A few moments later.
The third regiment.
Fourth regiment.
……
As Lu Xuan’s mind coalesced around the Pillbearer, joy so intense that it was extreme came over him.
“What a worldly paradise!”
“Never enjoyed such a feast before!!!”
“……”
Lu Xuan was speechless.
The sorrows and joys of the cultivator and the bugbear aren’t connected, I just think it’s noisy.
He was helpless in his heart and turned to refining a furnace of Second Grade Impregnating Spirit Pills before he got some confidence back.
As for the Beast Spirit Pill, due to being able to raise spirit beasts, he didn’t give up on it and planned to try refining it more in the future, slowly accumulating experience.
Fortunately, of the three low-grade formulae, the Peiyuan Dan and Yunling Dan had already reached the level of a Grandmaster, which was more than enough to be used as a base for refining the Beast Spirit Pill.
With a burst of energy, he refined all of the dozens of materials gathered from the Dan Palace into pills before stopping.
The Peiyuan Dan and Yunling Dan were basically successfully refined, and the pills filled two white jade vials.
Due to the fact that the materials were free, Lu Xuan estimated that he could earn a thousand or two thousand spirit stones, and if he counted the costs, it wouldn’t be this profitable.
As for the Beast Spirit Dans, it was the case that the medicinal crocodile couldn’t get any fuller.
“The Pill Buggy is my spirit pet, it earns what I earn, there’s no difference.”
Lu Xuan could only comfort himself with this.
For the pills he had refined, he planned to go to the Dan Palace to dispose of a batch of them after a while, and find a store in Sword Gate Town to sell the rest.
To be able to raise the level of alchemy to the Grandmaster realm so quickly was beyond common sense, even those alchemy geniuses couldn’t make it to this point.
If the Dan Palace knew about it, it might attract the attention of many sect executives, but it would also certainly cause countless suspicions and doubts, and would even be unfavorable to him, Lu Xuan decided that it would be better for him to sulk and make a lot of money.
“Gotta take a trip to the Crippled Secret Realm and transplant the Pure Glazed Tea as well as the Dragon Skeleton Grass over there.”
Lu Xuan said in his heart.
