Most of those resources were things that even the Great Sects and Lianyun Business Union didn’t care for.
The Broken Mountain Gang itself also found them hard to digest, so they simply put them for sale in their shop.
There would always be rogue cultivators who were interested.
Now, Luo Chen’s Allure Pill would become a special product in the shop.
In addition to the shop, a market for rogue cultivators in the south of the city and a small store in the Outer City would also be locations selling the Allure Pill.
After sending those people away, Luo Chen calmly entered the Pill Room.
Gu Caiyi was directing a large group of Medicine Disciples to move all kinds of well-prepared materials into the Pill Room.
The Fireworkers were also taking their positions one after another.
With a wave of his hand, Luo Chen declared, “Today’s pill refinement, begins now!”
Seeing his spirited demeanor, a group of cultivators, who were doing odd jobs, all expressed looks of envy.
The work for this past month had made them somewhat numb.
Every day, they were replicating the same tasks.
Even as cultivators, they found it quite dull.
They didn’t know that if they were placed in modern society, they would just be assembly-line workers, endlessly repeating the monotonous work every day.
And the future?
To become a respected Pill Refiner?
Luo Chen had never heard of an assembly-line worker promoting all the way up to be a CEO.
Obviously, that wasn’t going to happen here, either.
Luo Chen didn’t worry about these things. After all, even Lady Xiangxiang from Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion had spent three years in her sect just tending the fire.
He was just concentrating on refining pills.
Mi Li was also busy on the side, wiping sweat for Luo Chen from time to time, and handing him a wine gourd.
What happened to the promise of observing pill refinement? Why did she feel more like a maid looking after someone?
Mi Li was somewhat bewildered.
From when did this start happening?
It seemed to start from a time when Luo Chen asked her to buy cucumbers.
Even though she was perplexed, Mi Li knew what she had to do.
She was trying her best to learn and mimic, but unfortunately, after a month, there was still no progress.
When the pill refinement finished again, she knew that she hadn’t learned anything once again.
Just when she was feeling disappointed, the pill furnace opened.
The rich medicinal fragrance instantly caught her attention.
“This is?”
A pill the size of a dragon’s eye, so red it was almost purple, was glittering on Luo Chen’s fingertip!
“Ascendant Grade Allure Pill!!!”
Mi Li exclaimed in shock.
The cultivators in charge of tending the fire all turned to look.
Luo Chen looked at the Ascendant Grade pill in his hand, his face brimming with pride, but his heart was calm.
After refining thousands of Allure Pills last month, his proficiency had already reached the Grandmaster Level.
He hadn’t shown this before only because he felt the timing wasn’t right.
After all, refining an Ascendant Grade pill shortly after joining the Broken Mountain Gang would be too shocking.
But now, there was no need to hide his talent.
For the sake of cultivation resources, sometimes, it was necessary to be a bit extravagant.
He tossed that Ascendant Grade Allure Pill to Mi Li.
After hastily catching it, the girl saw Luo Chen drifting into the stone house that was especially built for him.
“Today’s pill refinement gave me some insights; I need to do closed-door cultivation for three days. Do not disturb me!”
With those words, the stone door slammed shut.
A layer of glowing waves spread out.
That was the First Order Array left by Mi Shuhua especially for the Pill Hall.
Mi Li looked at this scene in a daze, then remembered something.
Without lingering, she left the Pill Hall and flew straight towards the Mi Family Clan.
In the stone house, Luo Chen watched this scene through the window in the cliff, his gaze deep and calm.
“Come in, what’s the rush in finding me?”
Mi Shuhua woke up from his closed-door cultivation.
Usually, there were too many family and gang affairs, which had been disrupting his cultivation.
Recently, he finally managed to finish building the framework of the Pill Hall, so he took the chance to do a short-term closed-door cultivation.
But only two days had passed and he was already woken up by a sound transmission talisman.
That’s why he looked rather unhappy.
Mi Li wasn’t aware of her grandfather’s displeasure. Holding the purplish-red Allure Pill in her hands, she knelt down in front of him.
“Ascendant Grade Pill!”
“Hall Master Luo refined it, just today!”
He beckoned, and the pill went into his hand.
Looking at the three purplish-red pill lines, Mi Shuhua was greatly surprised.
How long had that young man been involved in the Dao of Alchemy?
In just over ten or twenty years, he actually concocted Ascendant Grade elixirs!
This kid’s alchemy talent is terrifyingly shocking!
“Hall Master Luo said he has some enlightenment in his Dao of Alchemy, so he has decided to meditate in Closed-Door Cultivation for three days,” Mi Li spoke again.
Mi Shuhua couldn’t sit still now.
“Enlightenment in alchemy!”
“Three days of meditation!”
“Perhaps he will be able to concoct Jade Marrow Pills after his Closed-Door Cultivation!”
“Yes, he must be able to. Both are First Order Elixirs, he can concoct the Ascendant Grade Allure Pill, there is no reason he can’t concoct the Lower Grade Jade Marrow Pill.”
Mi Shuhua kept pacing in the quiet room, mumbling words from his mouth continuously.
An old face, is changing color due to excitement.
“The lower grade is enough. It doesn’t have to be too high-priced. Setting a price of a dozen or so Spirit Stones will definitely cause a buying frenzy among beginners and Middle Stage Cultivators.”
“A bottle of Qi Nurturing Pills is a hundred spirit stones, ordinary people simply can’t afford it.”
“As long as he can concoct the Jade Marrow Pill, there’s hope for my Great Dao Path!”
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
“Let’s go to the Pill Hall!”
“In these three days, I won’t allow anyone to disturb Luo Chen!”
“I’ll guard his path!”
As soon as the words fell, he set off Glint, taking Mi Li along and flew out of the Mi Family Land.
How to spend this three-day period?
Luo Chen, staying in the stone house, felt a bit of regret.
The thought of being stuck in this room for three days was a bit unnerving for him.
The heavens are pitiful, even though it is said that Cultivators go into
Closed-Door Cultivation for thousands and hundreds of years.
But in actuality, since he has arrived, it seems he has never done Closed-Door Cultivation for more than a whole day.
It’s not because he’s not diligent.
But lower level cultivators, due to physical and Divine Consciousness limitations, have a limit to how many times they can practice their Cultivation Techniques daily.
Any more, and they will be exhausted and drained, even resulting in various aftermath issues.
This difficult situation only starts to change after reaching at least Foundation Establishment level.
“Never mind, with the Array masking what I do in here, Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ Spirit Consciousness cannot detect me.”
“Let’s find something else to do!”
Luo Chen took out a piece of beast skin from his storage bag.
It was the Second Order Pill Formula that Wang Yuan gave him, which listed the Blood Evil Qi Pill.
He had it for several days, and would sometimes read it, but unfortunately, the progress was extremely low.
After all, it is a Second Order Pill Formula.
“The main material must be replaced, otherwise as soon as I start refining, if it is found out, I will undoubtedly die.”
“So, what raw materials should I use?”
“Cultivator’s Essence Blood? I wonder if the blood of Demon Beasts could work.”
“Netherworld Evil Qi, this thing is not easy to find. Plus, I don’t have a method to collect Evil Qi. I’ll need to ponder more about this…”
For a while, Luo Chen was immersed in the work of studying the Second Order Pill Formula.
Occasionally when he woke up, he would consume a Fasting Elixir.
And when he got tired, he would change to a different approach.
Either he would read “Qingyuan Pill Explanation” (Qing Yuanzi’s Detailed Explanation of the Path of Pill) or practice the Qi Concealment Secret Technique.
Occasionally, he would injure himself a bit!
By making a small cut on his hand and using the Healing Technique to cure it, he considered it as improving his Technique Proficiency.
As for the “Jade Marrow Pill” that Mi Shuhua cared most about?
Luo Chen didn’t care at all.
It’s a First Order Pill Formula, and he can master it anytime with Achievement Points!
He even planned to master it on the day he comes out of Closed-Door Cultivation.
Just like that, the three-day period passed in the blink of an eye.
When the array disappeared, Luo Chen slowly stepped out of the house.
Looking at the waiting old man outside, Luo Chen felt a strange sense of time passing quickly.
Is this what Cultivator’s Closed-Door Cultivation is?
Just three days gave him a sense of a long time passing.
If in the future his realm increases and he really goes into Closed-Door
Cultivation, won’t it feel like a drastic change over time, centuries passing by?
In his trance, an old voice came into his ear.
“Three days apart, and you’ve become a different person.”
“My friend, you have broken through the Sixth Level Qi Refinement.”
Before Luo Chen had a chance to say a nice word, the man asked eagerly:
“Jade Marrow Pill, can you refine it?”
Luo Chen’s face stiffened!
Old man, give me some face. Don’t be so direct in your speech.
I’ve reached a new cultivation level, shouldn’t you give some congratulations? Like Magic Tools or elixirs, something I wouldn’t reject..
