To Fill One’s Own Pocket
Three years ago, he had already reached the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. However, he had wasted three years in the middle. After cultivating, he had already recovered to the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. However, the spiritual energy in his body was still somewhat lacking.
Only by relying on the Spiritual Accumulation Pill could he replenish his body to its full state as soon as possible and allow himself to enter the maximum level of the Body Refinement Realm as soon as possible.
Finally, there was the high-grade Ordinary Pill, the Breakthrough Pill, which was used to break through realms.
He had returned to the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. If he took another step forward, he would need the help of the Breakthrough Pill. Naturally, it was what he needed now.
However, not to mention the Spiritual Accumulation Pill and the Breakthrough Pill, just the two main ingredients needed to refine the Black Jade Grand Intermittence Pill, the Black Spirit Grass, and the Immortal Jade Flower Branch.
Not only were they completely substandard, but there were even a few that were completely immature.
If a pill refined from this kind of medicinal material was consumed, the spiritual energy would dissipate in the light, and in the serious case, it would endanger one’s life!
The He family had been developing the pill stores in Canglan City for decades. Could it be that they didn’t know any common sense?
While He Chuan was puzzled, the door of the alchemy room was suddenly pushed open.
“You’re really here!” Xu Li pointed at He Chuan and roared angrily.
“Do you know what this place is? The pill store doesn’t allow any absurdity. Now, get out of here!”
Although he was only a mid-grade alchemist, he was one of the only three alchemists in the He family’s pill shop.
Although he wasn’t surnamed He, he had a pivotal position in the He family, equivalent to a guest elder.
Even the Clan Leader, He Tian, had to be polite and respectful when he saw him. Naturally, he did not put He Chuan in his eyes.
“Young Master He, this is an important place for the pill store. Unauthorized people are prohibited from entering, and it’s not a place for fooling around.” Feng Yuan, whose hair and beard were all white, walked in with his hands behind his back. His gaze was cold.
“I’m not here to fool around, I’m here to refine pills!” He Chuan looked at the two of them coldly.
“Do you know what Pill Fire is?” Xu Li sneered and said disdainfully,”
Hearing this, He Chuan found it funny and stretched out his right hand in front of his chest.
A red flame shot out from his palm.
“Red Grade Pill Fire?” When Feng Yuan and Xu Li saw this, they were both shocked.
Alchemist occupations were rare and required a lot of time and energy to study medicinal herbs. More importantly, many martial artists spent their entire lives but were unable to condense the pill fire.
They had never heard of He Chuan knew alchemy, but he could actually do it with ease!
“You were just lucky enough to condense a Red Grade Pill Fire. What is there to be proud of?” Xu Li came back to his senses and sneered coldly.
There were many types of fire in the world, such as wood fire, beast fire, earth fire, heaven fire, and the legendary divine fire.
One of them was the Pill Master’s Pill Fire.
The alchemy fire was divided into seven levels according to the alchemist’s realm: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
The red fire was the lowest, while the purple fire was the highest.
The stronger the pill fire, the higher the grade of the medicinal pill that could be refined, and the better the quality of the medicinal pill.
There were only two ways for alchemists to raise their alchemy fire: nurturing spiritual energy and devouring and fusing.
Spiritual energy nurturing required the alchemist to use his own spirit qi to nurture the Pill Fire. After accumulating it for a few days, there was a chance of advancing.
However, such methods were rather slow to take effect. Many alchemists could not advance a few levels in their entire lives.
Devour Fusion. Alchemists could devour all kinds of flames in the world and fuse them with their own bodies to increase the level of their alchemy fire.
However, it was quite dangerous. If one was not careful, they would be swallowed by the flames of heaven and earth and burned to ashes!
The grade of the pill fire that a pill refiner condensed was basically fixed.
It was almost impossible to raise the grade of the pill fire.
A Red Grade Pill Fire was indeed nothing to be proud of.
“I wonder what grade of Pill Fire the two pill refiners will be able to condense.” He Chuan said coldly.
Feng Yuan and Xu Li were instantly stumped by He Chuan’s question.
The reason why they were hovering at the edge of mid-grade alchemists was that the Pil lFire they could condense was also at the red grade.
If Pill Fire could be upgraded, they would have become high-level pill refiners long ago.
“Alchemy isn’t just about condensing pills. There are many types of medicinal ingredients. You haven’t learned how to identify medicinal ingredients at all!” Feng Yuan directly changed the topic and continued to make things difficult for him.
“Who says I don’t understand?” He Chuan reached out and grabbed the herbs from the medicine rack.
“The Black Spirit Grass takes three years to break through the soil and five years to mature. It contains black spiritual energy that can stimulate the growth of flesh and blood and accelerate the healing of wounds!”
The Immortal Jade Flower bloomed in one year and bloomed in three years. Its petals were as white as jade, and its stamen was warm and spiritual. When used in alchemy, it could strengthen the development of bones and regenerate broken bones!”
Bitter Fruit Seedlings grow for ten years before they can mature.
When the tree was fully grown, it would blossom and bear fruit. The fruit tasted bitter but contained a huge amount of pure spiritual energy. It could be used to refine pills and replenish spiritual energy!
Pulse Relaxing Grass…
He Chuan spoke slowly and identified the herbs in his hand as if he was counting his family’s treasures. He also explained them in detail.
Feng Yuan and Xu Li were dumbfounded and astonished.
Even He Yong’s mouth was wide open. He stared at He Chuan with an incredulous expression.
His Third Brother was actually so proficient in medicinal herbs?
It seemed that not being able to cultivate had actually allowed him to have some achievements in the research of medicinal herbs!
“Alchemists, may I know if I’m mistaken?” He Chuan asked after explaining all the herbs in his hand.
Feng Yuan and Xu Li were completely dumbfounded. They wanted to make things difficult for He Chuan, but they didn’t expect to be ruthlessly slapped in the face. The two of them were speechless.
It seemed that he was not mistaken!
“But since we’re talking about herbs, I’d like to ask the two Alchemists.” He Chuan felt that he had explained enough and immediately asked back.
“What’s with the medicinal herbs here?” He pointed at the herbs on the medicine rack and continued.
The medicinal herbs prepared by them either had withered leaves or broken branches and leaves.
The Immortal Jade Flower had yet to bloom, or it had no petals.
The most important part was the roots, but they were all cut off, leaving behind poisonous branches and leaves!
“Shouldn’t the two of you be giving me an explanation for the selection of medicinal herbs?” Medicinal herbs were the foundation of medicinal pills, and medicinal pills were related to the survival of pill shops. Therefore, the He family spent almost half of their total expenditure on medicinal herbs every year.
Could it be that such a huge sum of money was enough to buy back such useless medicine?
Moreover, the pill store was selling pills refined with such medicinal herbs. If something happened, it would definitely cause a huge commotion and directly endanger the He family’s foundation!
At that time, the problem would be huge!
Hearing this, Feng Yuan and Xu Li’s expressions changed.
“You’re just reading a few more books. Are you worthy of showing off in front of us?” Xu Li tried to explain himself nervously.
“Just now, Third Brother made it clear and you have no objections. After he exposed you here, you are forcefully quibble and attempt to deceive us, don’t you still have any shame?” He Yong finally reacted and scolded angrily.
“The two of us are doing this for the sake of the He family.” Being scolded by a 16 – 17-year-old, Feng Yuan could not keep his face straight and retorted angrily.
“As the Alchemist Master of the pill stires, he holds the power to select medicinal ingredients, but he actually fooled the main household and purchased useless medicine. Is he being considerate of the main household or has other intentions?” He Chuan said coldly.
“Don’t talk nonsense! The two of us have been working diligently in the He family’s pill store for nearly ten years. Our loyalty are seen by heaven and earth. On the other hand, you caused trouble for He family and almost caused the destruction of the family. It’s fine if you don’t reflect on yourself, but what qualifications do you have to come to my pill store and criticize us?” Feng Yuan’s face turned green and white, and his beard trembled with anger.
