I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 429 - 427: Joy and Sorrow with Medicinal Pangolin Are Not Joined Together_1

Chapter 429: Chapter 427: Joy and Sorrow with Medicinal Pangolin Are Not Joined Together_1

All six pills were of superior quality, brimming with concentrated spiritual power.

“Such excellent quality is undoubtedly the handiwork of an Alchemy Master.”

“The Light Group Experience Package is really potent, it instantly bridged me from a novice to the Master Level.”

“It’s a pity that so far there are only three Pill Formula Experience Packages. It seems that in the future, if I have the opportunity, I might try cultivating other Spiritual Plants to see if I can derive more Pill Formula Experience Packages.”

Lu Xuan thought quietly to himself.

Alchemy is incredibly tough for beginners, unlike cultivating Spiritual Plants. Even low-grade Spiritual Plants have a high probability of maturity as long as they are given sufficiently pure spiritual energy and fertile Spirit Soil.

Even for first-grade elixirs, one needs to master a rare elixir recipe, combined with a copious amount of alchemy experience. frёewebnoѵēl.com

However, once one has a decent understanding of elixirs, they can create a massive wealth for an Alchemist.

After all, elixirs are consumables, unlike Magic Artifacts or Cultivation Techniques that can be used long term once bought. Hence, they provide a continuous supply of Spirit Stones for the Alchemist.

The richest sub-hall in the Sky Sword Sect is none other than the Dan Palace.

Of course, this is under the prerequisite that you possess exceptional Alchemy Techniques.

Before earning a large number of Spirit Stones, the speed at which alchemy consumes Spirit Stones is also extremely horrific.

When one first begins practicing alchemy, the chances of most Cultivators forming a pill are less than 10%, requiring the consumption of a large amount of Spiritual Medicine and gradual accumulation of experience.

Only when the success rate of forming a pill increases to about 30% can one barely break even. If it reaches about 50% success rate, then a small profit can be made.

In the Dan Palace, if a Pill Master can raise the success rate of several low-grade pills and one third-grade or higher pill to 50%, then he is qualified to be promoted to a Core Alchemist.

Lu Xuan, however, after absorbing a large number of Pill Formula Experience Packages, the success rates of his Yuan Cultivating Pill and Spirit Gathering Pill started at over 90%. Even the core alchemists inside the Dan Palace don’t have absolute confidence in achieving such high success rates on certain pills.

“What a bright financial future.”

Lu Xuan felt cheerful inside his heart.

Although both pills are just first and second grades, such a high success rate would bring in a significant amount of Spirit Stones.

“Once the new batch of Primordial Essence Herbs mature and yield a few Formula for Foundation Establishment Pill Experience Packs, I can take off.”

The batch of Primordial Essence Herbs he had previously planted yielded five Formula for Foundation Establishment Pill Experience Packs. His skill in refining Foundation Establishment Pills had reached an expert level. Assuming the pill furnace and pill fire conditions are met, he estimated a success rate of 30% to 50%.

“Once the success rate of the Foundation Establishment Pill goes up, I can happily gather Spirit Stones.”

“I have no choice; I am too poor. Although I have plenty of magic artifacts and treasures, I am short of Spirit Stones.”

Whilst he silently lamented, he collected the freshly made six Yuan Cultivating Pills into his storage bag. Just as he was about to process the materials for the next alchemy attempt, he saw a translucent Medicinal Pangolin slowly drifting out of the pill furnace.

His mind focused on this irregular semi-transparent odd insect; Lu Xuan sensed its emptiness, as though it was wondering why there was so little Pill Toxin left inside the pill furnace after alchemy.

“You little bug seem disappointed. What’s the matter, did my perfect-grade pill leave you in vain?”

Corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth lifted, he teased the Medicinal Pangolin that took the form of flowing water.

Seeing him preparing to refine another pill, the Medicinal Pangolin quickly melted back into the pill furnace.

The result was the same as before. Lu Xuan successfully produced a second-grade Imbued Spirit Pill of superior quality, and there was only a faint trace of Pill Toxin in the pill furnace.

“Isn’t alchemy supposed to be just about having the right hands?”

After successfully refining seven or eight batches of Yuan Cultivating and Spirit Gathering Pills, Lu Xuan’s confidence began to soar.

“It’s time to try out this Beast Spirit Pill.”

He took out a free supply of Spiritual Medicine provided by the Dan Palace, and according to the steps learned from the Jade Slip, he started processing the various materials.

Without the rich experience provided by the Pill Formula Experience Package, the processing process exposed his inexperience. His fluid actions became stuttering and he occasionally paused to recall the alchemy process in his Sea of Knowledge.

“Alright, finally time to start refining.”

He slowly put various materials into the pill furnace in order, controlling the Heavenly Blue Pill Fire, concentrating and carefully refining.

“Damn it!”

During the refining process, his spiritual sense keenly detected the changes inside the pill furnace. A huge breath lifted the lid of the pill furnace, and a charred object flew out from inside.

Before it flew to Lu Xuan, the Medicinal Pangolin quickly followed it, its translucent body tightly wrapping the charred object, its heart filled with intense joy.

This dregs can be completely referred to as a pill toxin aggregate, which is a great nourishment for it.

“Even the Heavenly Blue Pill Fire can’t save me.”

Lu Xuan finally realized his true alchemy level without the pill recipe experience package, and couldn’t help but sigh.

He adjusted his mentality, not discouraged, and continued to take out a batch of spiritual medicine materials.

The second refining process went much smoother, but the result didn’t change at all.

The same charred dregs flew out of the pill furnace.

The Medicine Pangolin had been prepared for a long time. As soon as the dregs flew out of the furnace, it transformed its shape and intercepted the dregs, tightly wrapping them, its heart filled with joy.

A moment later.

The third cluster.

The fourth cluster.

…

When Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the Medicinal Pangolin, the intense joy hit him in the face.

“What a paradise!”

“I’ve never enjoyed such a feast!!”

“…”

Lu Xuan had no words to express.

The joys and sorrows of cultivators and insect beasts don’t sync, I just think it’s noisy.

Helpless, he turned to refining a batch of second-grade Imbued Spirit Pills, regaining some confidence.

As for the Beast Spirit Pill, because it could be used to feed spirit beasts, he didn’t give up and planned to try to refine it more in the future to gain experience slowly.

Fortunately, among the three low-grade pill formulas, the two pills, Yuan Cultivating Pill and Imbued Spirit Pill, had reached the master level, which was more than enough to back up for refining the Beast Spirit Pill.

In one fell swoop, he refined all the materials he had collected from the Dan Palace into pills before he stopped.

The Yuan Cultivating Pill and Imbued Spirit Pill were basically successful, filling two small white jade bottles with pills.

Lu Xuan estimated that he could earn one or two thousand spirit stones because the materials were free. Taking the cost into account, the profit wouldn’t be so high.

As for the Beast Spirit Pill, it allowed the Medicinal Pangolin to eat its fill.

“The Medicinal Pangolin is my Spirit Pet, if it profits, I profit, there’s no difference.”

Lu Xuan could only comfort himself in this way.

He planned to deal with the harvested pills at the Dan Palace after some time while also selling the rest at a shop in Sword Gate Town.

It’s already beyond reason to be able to improve your alchemy level to master level so quickly. Even those alchemy geniuses can’t reach this level.

If the Dan Palace knew about it, it might attract the attention of many sect leaders. But it would certainly raise a lot of suspicion and even harm him, so Lu Xuan decided it was best to keep a low profile and get rich quietly.

“I need to go to the Incomplete Secret Realm and transplant the Clear Glass Tea and Dragon Bone Grass.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.
