Now is the final ti for harvest.
“My sons, follow this old ancestor into battle!”
In Blackwater Pool, Xiahou Jie looked up to the sky and let out a howl, his voice roaring like a wild beast, a lone wolf howling at the moon, captivating the soul.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
In an instant, endless gloom and the stench of corpses spread and surged.
One could see from the territory of the Blackwater Pool clan, countless dark coffins flying out, covering the sky, easily a thousand in number.
Nurous zombies broke out of their coffins, howled to the sky with blood-red eyes, and charged towards the people.
“Caiyun True Immortal, I, Xiahou Jie, today bring my Xiahou Family’s sons and Dao Soldiers of the Mystical Zombies to experience the might of your Divine Skills!”
Xiahou Jie stood on a bronze coffin and soared into the sky.
His skin was dark as ink, his eyes blood-red, and the aura of dark evil around him nearly materialized, like a fiendish deity, malevolent and fierce.
….
Jiuxiao Immortal City.
Treasure Elixir Pavilion, Alchemy Chamber.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Eight miniature dragon heads breathed out purple flas, making the Spiritual chanism of the Pill Furnace pervasive and filling the air with the fragrance of dicine.
“Elder Ye, your elixir is about to be ready.”
Li Xingruo looked at the Pill Furnace before her, where the Spiritual chanism was in full flow, and spoke up to remind him.
“There’s no rush. This batch of Elixir dicines is Second Rank Spirit-Nourishing Pills.”
“In order to enhance their effectiveness, I added so Red Lotus Powder, not only to lock in the efficacy but also to improve the quality of the pills during coagulation, though it requires a bit more ti to refine.”
Lu Changsheng, who was drawing a Talisman nearby, didn’t lift his head as he spoke gently.
Previously, when the Li sisters invited him to be the resident Alchemist of ‘Treasure Elixir Pavilion,’ he said he would consider it.
After purchasing information about the Li Family and the Treasure Elixir Pavilion from the Hundred Dawn Chamber and confirming that the sisters were telling the truth, Lu Changsheng accepted the role of resident Alchemist and took on the shop assessnt.
As for the price, the sisters had to pay him a compensation of three thousand Spirit Stones.
Moreover, during this period, they would sell the Elixir dicines and Talismans for him and procure all kinds of materials he needed.
Faced with this demand, the sisters agreed without hesitation.
So, for more than a month, Lu Changsheng was practically always at the Treasure Elixir Pavilion, refining pills and making talismans.
Excess Elixir dicines and Talismans were all sold by the two sisters on his behalf, causing the Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag to swell.
He now had a huge sum of over forty thousand Spirit Stones.
And after spending this month in their company, the Li sisters had grown much closer to him.
Whenever Li Xingruo was free, she would co over to help him control the fire and watch over the furnace.
As for this, Lu Changsheng not only did not mind, but he also took the opportunity to instruct and teach this young girl the Skills of Alchemy.
“So that’s it. Second Rank Spirit-Nourishing Pills with added Red Lotus Powder lock in the efficacy.”
Li Xingruo, hearing this, nodded thoughtfully.
Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Making—it’s difficult to explore these fields by oneself without inheritance and soone to guide.
“However, doing so also demands much higher skill in the pill condensation technique.”
“It requires the condensation of water vapor during pill formation and integrating it into the dicine…”
Lu Changsheng spoke unhurriedly.
In the inheritance of Second Rank Alchemy Skills, there are many alchemical techniques included.
Although these Alchemy Skills are just common techniques, not so rare inheritances,
they are enough to deal with ninety percent of the Elixir dicines on the market.
The Elixir dicines he refined were of optimal effect, mostly exquisite or supre in quality.
“Xingruo, watch closely.”
After drawing another First Grade Spirit Talisman, Lu Changsheng spoke to Li Xingruo.
When the Spiritual chanism surged inside the Pill Furnace, he clenched his hands together in an intricate seal.
“Washing Stream Transforming Cloud Technique, condense the pill!”
As clouds and mist filled the Pill Furnace, and the heat stead up, a waft of water vapor spread towards the coalescing dicinal liquid.
“This water vapor will wash over the pill for a mont, then the furnace must be opened imdiately, otherwise, it will affect the quality of the Elixir dicine.”
“Open!”
Lu Changsheng spoke, his hands forming rapid seals, causing the red furnace lid to fly up.
Suddenly, many brown Spirit Pills, the size of lychee fruits, flew into Lu Changsheng’s hands.
This batch of Spirit-Nourishing Pills totalled over forty.
All of them were of exquisite or supre quality.
Different Elixir dicines have different thods and ingredients for refining, hence the yield also varies.
Like the Spirit-Nourishing Pills, they could be refined with a large quantity of Spiritual dicine at once, which is a bit crude, so the limit for Lu Changsheng was about fifty pills.
“Store.”
Lu Changsheng took out a porcelain bottle and let the forty-plus Spirit-Nourishing Pills all enter into it.
He then turned to Li Xingruo, who stood beside him, bewildered, and asked, “How about it, Xingruo, did you understand?”
“Elder Ye, I understood,” Li Xingruo imdiately regained her senses with a slight blush on her cheeks, nodding to Lu Changsheng.
Just now, watching Lu Changsheng’s heroic face and kind instruction reminded her of the days when her father taught her alchemy here.
Though her normally kind father was very strict about alchemy, unlike Elder Ye’s gentle approach.
“Let’s stop here for today. You can also co to if you have any questions about alchemy.”
“With your talent, as long as you apply yourself, becoming a top-tier Alchemist is not far off, and there’s hope for you to reach Second Rank in the future,” Lu Changsheng said to Li Xingruo.
This girl indeed had a knack for alchemy, a solid foundation.
If her father had not passed away, leaving her without guidance and preoccupied with trivial matters, she would probably have already reached the pinnacle of First Grade Alchemists.
“Thank you, Elder Ye,” Li Xingruo said, as if greatly encouraged, and nodded firmly.
After spending over a month together, she recognized that the Elder Ye before her was a very potent Alchemist,
even more so than her own father.
Thus, she deeply trusted Lu Changsheng’s words,
knowing that if he said she had prospects to beco a Second Rank Alchemist, then she certainly did.
“The auction starts tomorrow; I hope it won’t be disappointing,” Lu Changsheng mused as he stepped out of the Alchemy Chamber and let out a breath.
He was ready to go back and get a good rest.
