Donned in black clothing and a black veil mask, Luo Chen stepped through the gate, cautiously looking back.
In the dark and quiet alley, there was complete silence.
When Luo Chen reached the gate, he stood there silently for a while.
"Nobody’s following ."
Luo Chen made sure that he hadn’t been followed ho and let out a sigh of relief.
Lower Order Cultivators have limited concealnt techniques, and tracking thods are even more scarce, often requiring the use of talisman magic tools.
Therefore, once one is careful enough, it is easy to detect if anyone is trailing.
Since he had already caught the attention of the Great Lake Gang, Luo Chen decided to be extra cautious when coming and going from then on.
Just as he turned around, Luo Chen abruptly stiffened, his hair standing on end.
In the corner of the wall, a figure in white clothes adorned with waist-length hair stood quietly.
Luo Chen swallowed nervously, "Could it be a ghost?"
But shortly after, he relaxed.
It’s a person!
"Why haven’t they sprouted even after two months?"
The woman in white seed to be talking to herself.
"Could the Herb Harvester have given fake Purple Sunflower Seeds?"
"Cough, cough."
A cough sounded from the entrance, and the woman turned around.
"Friend Luo Chen?"
"Friend Fu Xiuxiu?"
"Hm."
Turns out it was his neighbor from the East Wing Room!
Luo Chen approached her and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Fu Xiuxiu answered with frustration, "I bought Purple Sunflower seeds for one spirit stone and planted them two months ago. I expected to see seedlings when I returned ho, but nothing’s sprouted."
Luo Chen followed her gaze and looked at the corner suspiciously.
Isn’t this the spot where I usually practice the Fireball and Entanglent Techniques?
Seeds?
He had replaced the soil and stones dozens of tis already!
He chuckled awkwardly and answered, "Perhaps it’s because they don’t adapt to the environnt!"
Fu Xiuxiu sighed, and could only nod helplessly.
"This place is heavy with Yin Energy, and many of the plants and flowers I plant don’t grow well. Plus, since I’m usually not ho, they’ve nearly wilted."
Luo Chen blinked, "Is that so?"
"It should be. Usually, I should take them out more to get so sun," said Fu Xiuxiu with resignation.
Skipping that topic, she curiously glanced at Luo Chen’s attire.
"Friend Luo, what were you up to?"
"Just call Xiao Luo! Wearing these clothes is just a habit, I enjoy wearing black, that’s it."
Being called a friend by a Ninth Level Qi Refinent Cultivator felt uneasy for Luo Chen.
Seeing that Luo Chen didn’t want to elaborate, Fu Xiuxiu didn’t ask any further.
She glanced at the nightfall and invited Luo Chen.
"I rarely co ho and I plan to invite you and the other neighbors for a al, Xiao Luo, would you like to join?"
Soone’s offering dinner? What a great opportunity!
As such, he, Luo Chen, couldn’t refuse!
Sitting on a children’s swing in the courtyard, Luo Chen, now in a fresh set of clothes, waited for Fu Xiuxiu’s dinner while pondering his next steps.
With the original material costing up to four hundred spirit stones, it was his most significant investnt to date.
This ti, failure was not an option!
Therefore, he needed to consider all aspects before refining the pill.
The first was the new alchemy tool - the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace.
The transition from using the Spirit Iron Pot to the Magic Tool Pill Furnace would undoubtedly lead to significant differences.
He had to familiarize himself with the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace to avoid any errors during the refinent process that he couldn’t rectify in ti.
Next, there was the matter of handling the raw materials.
The forr thods were no longer applicable.
The Spirit Iron Pot, being small and not heat-resistant, required a relatively small fire for refinent, aning the process would be long.
In long-term refinent, the treatnt of dicinal materials tended to be conservative.
But there were no such concerns with the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace. Its magic tool grade could easily withstand high temperatures.
With this in mind, the thods for processing the raw materials could certainly be more daring.
Finally, there was the construction of the pill room.
Yes, Luo Chen planned to partition a room for pill refinent in the Reverse Room that he had rented.
The Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace took up a lot of space, and when it was necessary to burn wood, a special fire pit was required, lined with heat-insulating bricks beneath it to prevent heat loss.
The surrounding walls should preferably be made mainly of Cloud Sand Bricks, which were known for their excellent ventilation.
Otherwise, if the dicinal gas leaked out, it was possible to get poisoned and faint inside.
Thinking about all the tasks, one by one, Luo Chen was overwheld.
Looks like he was going to be busy from now on!
"Hei!"
A small figure suddenly jumped in front of him.
Luo Chen greeted sowhat helplessly, "Lady Xiao Ling, have you finished work?"
Isn’t that stating the obvious since she was already in front of him?
But, greetings in reality are often like this.
When eating, we say, "Are you eating?"
When getting off work, we say, "You’ve finished work?"
It’s annoying when, in a public toilet, if you et a friend they say, "Are you pooping?"
Bullshit, what else could I be doing in a toilet stall!
Naturally, Bai iling couldn’t imagine that Luo Chen was having such random thoughts, she reached out her fair hand.
"What is it?" Luo Chen asked, puzzled.
"Where is the pill that you made? Let see if it’s a Path of Demon Pill!"
"You really have a broad scope of concern!"
Bai iling put her hands on her hips, "As a Seventh Level Qi Refinent neighbour, can’t I show so concern?"
Dammit, he had been annoyed by people bragging about their cultivation level all his life!
Luo Chen took a deep breath and reluctantly took out a pill.
Bai iling curiously took it over, "Is this a Fasting Elixir? No, it’s a Fasting Pill. The grade is decent, it’s Ascendant Grade."
She observed Luo Chen for a while and couldn’t help nodding.
"You’re quite impressive for a bottled gourd. It’s a pity. If you had the pill formula for the Fasting elixir. With a little practice, you could use it to make a living."
Luo Chen initially planned to fool this woman and be done with it.
But after hearing her say this, he instantly beca interested.
He always knew that the Fasting Elixir he refined was actually just a Fasting Pill.
Otherwise, why would a bottle of Fasting Pills, a total of fifty pills, sell for only one Lower Grade Spirit Stone?
A legitimate Fasting Elixir, on the other hand, was no less than a First Order Qi Nurturing Pill.
Each bottle containing only ten pills, sold for one hundred Spirit Stones, that would indeed make a fortune!
If he could refine the actual Fasting Elixirs, wouldn’t he be rich?
"Do you have the pill formula for the Fasting Elixir?"
In response to Luo Chen’s eager eyes, Bai iling shrugged her shoulders.
"I absolutely don’t! These pill formulas are controlled by the Great Sects, how could I possibly have them."
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, why did she even ntion it then.
However, he wasn’t too disappointed.
Or rather, he had never really held any great expectations for the pill formula of these mainstream elixirs.
Not just in The Great River District, but even in the whole Yu Ding Realm, and the Six Realms of the Far East, the pill formula for mainstream elixirs is strictly controlled.
Any slight leak would have the Sect Cultivators using various ans to retrieve it.
Whether it is buying them outright, forcibly seizing them, or even recruiting Pill Refiners capable of making mainstream elixirs.
Regarding this, Luo Chen’s view was "Monopolistic dogs, they won’t die a good death!"
He could actually understand the practises of these sects.
The resources of this world were extrely abundant. Not just the regions where humans lived, but also the wilderness inhabited by Demon Beasts, had countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
When the raw materials could not be restricted, controlling the pill formula beca the best ans.
In this way, mainstream elixirs could only be refined, distributed, and sold by the sects.
With this, the Great Sects could ensure that their profits were much higher than those of the Immortal Cultivation Clans and Rogue Cultivators.
If it weren’t for this, where would the Great Sects get the great benefits to freely distribute magic tools, robes, and, even valuable storage bags to their disciples.
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Luo, it’s ti to eat."
At the sound of a gentle voice, Luo Chen quickly went into the East Wing Room, which was Xiu Xiu’s ho.
Bai iling followed him, but after walking a few steps, she felt sothing was off.
"Can a Fire Dog Tail be used to make a Fasting Pill?"
