Chapter 462: 148 Perfect Dao Method, Five Turns Golden Core (10K Votes) _4
Taoist Tianyu’s disciple?
He can’t be messed with.
Let alone other things, Taoist Tianyu’s high-ranking titles in alchemy, talisman-making, artifact refining, and formation techniques were enough to silence him.
He could only hope to catch up with Taoist Tianyu in alchemy.
Oh, and he, the current elder of the Pill Pavilion, is nothing more than a mid-fourth-tier alchemist.
The title of the best alchemist in Chixian Mansion sat on Taoist Tianyu.
The old man accepted the everyday task token, infused it with a divine sense before returning it to Su Yu, then laughed: “I’m Taoist Gong Yi, currently in charge of the Pill Pavilion as its Elder, and a mid-fourth-tier alchemist.”
“I invite my fellow disciple to stay at the Pill Pavilion for everyday tasks. You’re warmly welcomed. Come with me.”
He entered the Pill Pavilion.
Gong Yi summoned all the people in the Pill Pavilion who were not engaged in alchemy, including two lower fourth-tier alchemists.. The rest were fewer than forty third-tier or lower alchemists, with only eleven being third-tier.
After introducing Su Yu to everyone, Gong Yi started to introduce the situation in the Pill Pavilion.
“For now, our Pill Pavilion is mainly responsible for supplying the disciples and elders inside the fairy gate with needed pills. We do not handle the outer house because the outer house has its own Pill Pavilion.”
“That’s why it’s specified in the everyday tasks that only third-tier alchemists and above are required.”
Gong Yi looked at Su Yu and asked: “What tier of pill master are you, my fellow disciple?”
Su Yu replied: “Mid third-tier.”
After a pause, Su Yu asked in a low voice: “Brother Gong Yi, if the Pill Pavilion needs a superior third-tier pill, perhaps, I could try.”
Gong Yi was slightly surprised. Was he already a mid-third-tier alchemist just after becoming a disciple of Taoist Tianyu?
He contemplated for a moment, then carefully replied: “How about this: you start by refining Bihai Pills of the mid-third-tier, as it’s currently in short supply. By the end of the next month, I will prepare five or ten sets of superior third-tier Bihai Pill materials, and you can try your hand at it.”
His words were full of goodwill.
Normally, if a disciple made such a request to him, he would send them packing.
But a disciple of the Daoyu Peak.
A junior in line, giving him some materials for practice didn’t seem like a big deal.
As to whether it would be five sets or ten sets of materials, he planned to evaluate Su Yu’s alchemy skills first.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu said: “Then I’ll have to ask you to arrange an alchemy room for me, brother Gong.”
Gong Yi replied: “No problem. But how many furnaces do you plan to refine in a day, one or two?”
After contemplating a bit, Su Yu decided that since it was an everyday task, he might as well use it for practice, plus his proficiency in making the mid-third-tier Bihai Pill was not yet perfect.
Because the materials for this mid-third-tier pill were scarce in Dayue Prefecture, he did not have many opportunities to practice before.
“Two furnaces a day, please arrange it, Brother Gong.”
Gong Yi said: “You are being too polite. The more pills you refine, the less pressure I feel. The more you produce, the happier I am.”
Not long after,
inside an alchemy room at the Pill Pavilion, with the activation of the formation, layers of barriers isolated the alchemy room from the outside world.
Su Yu entered the empty alchemy room, waved his hand to take out his own top-grade pill furnace, first cleaned the interior of the furnace, and then took out today’s two sets of mid-third-tier Bihai Pill materials from the Qiankun bag. He then began to inspect them in detail.
“Everything seems fine.”
After the inspection, Su Yu placed his hand on the pill furnace, called out the pill fire, and began today’s alchemy.
He was now using the Nirvana Flame from the Nirvana Sutra of the Heavenly Phoenix to refine pills.
The flame of this fire-based cultivation technique had a unique power aura, which could very effectively retain the medicinal strength of spiritual medicine during the refining process, thereby enhancing the quality and success rate of the pills.
Since he was only planning to refine ordinary-quality pills, Su Yu found it very easy.
As he processed spiritual medicine materials, his mind wandered to the plaque he had seen before.
Su Yu thought to himself: “There’s something off about that plaque. It’s aura isn’t right. Even though the writing appears sloppy, those traces… they seem to be hiding something.”
Is it a cultivation technique? Or an alchemy method?
Unable to figure it out, Su Yu did not dwell on it further.
Less than four hours later, Su Yu had produced the first batch of finished mid-third-tier Bihai Pills.
With the extraction technique he used, the lid of the pill furnace flew up, and five green pills flew out from inside. The strong exotic aroma instantly filled the entire alchemy room.
Five ordinary-quality Bihai Pills.
Although they hadn’t reached premium quality, they were close.
“Not bad.”
Su Yu put away the pills, consuming less than thirty percent of his mana in the process.
And so, after taking a short break, Su Yu began to refine the second furnace of pills.
After finishing the refinement of the two furnaces of pills,
Su Yu sat on the ground, replenishing his mana and energy, while starting a new day of everyday cultivation.
The following morning.
Su Yu walked out of the alchemy room, handed the jade bottle containing the pills he had made the day before to a disciple responsible for recording and receiving pills and materials, and asked for the record to be updated. He also collected two more sets of materials.
It was only after Su Yu left to return to the alchemy room, that the disciple opened the jade bottle to inspect it. When he saw that there were as many as ten pills inside, his eyes widened.
“Ten of them?”
“Their quality is almost premium!”
“Hiss.”
“Is Uncle Disciple Yu that outstanding in refining the mid-third-tier pills!?”
