Update)_2
Translator: 549690339
“Is this the Jade Marrow Pill that you refined?”
Mi Shuhua holds a handful of multicolored stone beads, his face showing disbelief.
Luo Chen scratches his head in embarrassment.
“Well, humans fall down, horses stumble too!”
“Also, who can succeed in refining a pill on their first try? Even if you asked that Grandmaster alchemist in Zhongzhou to come, he wouldn’t dare boast.”
With that, Luo Chen began to shout.
Justified, and full of vigor!
Those are the words.
And that’s the reasoning.
But the disappointment can barely be concealed.
Mi Shuhua sighs, tossing the handful of multicolored stones onto the ground.
“I was too hasty.”
Luo Chen pats him on the shoulder instinctively, only to startle himself.
When did I start disrespecting Foundation Establishment Cultivators so much?
But seeing that Mi Shuhua wasn’t upset, he grinned nervously: “Hey, failure is the mother of success. We’ll definitely succeed next time. Cheer up 01′ Mi, I’m starting to get the hang of producing the Jade Marrow Pill!”
01′ Mi mutters, “Failure is the mother of success” and goes home in a daze.
After protecting Luo Chen for three days, he gets a rude awakening.
After he leaves, Luo Chen shakes his head.
He’s a grown man, why can’t he keep calm!
Back when Luo Chen first started refining the Allure Pill, he failed for several days straight but still maintained his confidence.
In front of his subordinates, he picks up the multicolored stone beads from the ground.
At least, they are made from materials worth five Spirit Stones.
Why not use them to play marbles in spare time, or even use them for a board game!
He’s missing a few colors, though. He needs to fail a few more times to complete the set for a board game.
That’s what he thinks, and that’s what others think as they see him happily picking up the beads.
For the next few days, the failed beads were all collected and given to Luo Chen.
These days, Luo Chen has finally begun diligently refining pills.
Every morning and every afternoon, he refines the Allure Pill once.
Under his deliberately control, the success rates for Lower Grade, Medium Grade, and Ascendant Grade Allure Pill is maintained at a ratio of 3:6:1.
This process makes the improvement of proficiency in reaching Grandmaster Level on Allure Pill slow.
But, it hides his actual ability.
Following this, there’s another meeting at the gang.
It’s hosted by Mi Junping.
She plans to price different grades of elixirs differently.
After discussion, the Lower Grade Allure Pill was priced at three Spirit Stones, the Medium Grade remains the same at five, and the Ascendant Grade skyrockets to ten Spirit Stones.
That high a price is almost equal to a Qi Nurturing Pill!
Not many would buy it.
But it doesn’t matter, there are always some fools who buy.
Also, the efficacy varies with the grade.
According to the experience report of our veteran user, Mr. Zeng Wen, the conclusion is — Medium Grade Allure Pill is twice as effective as the Lower Grade, and the Ascendant Grade eliminates the side effects entirely.
Even with long term use, it won’t cause loosening of the Lower Passage Golden Lock.
Moreover, it did solidify the foundation and cultivated the origin.
Zeng Wen admitted that he’s found the direction towards The Great Dao Path!
Luo Chen is moved by his own contribution. He added some warmth and color to this ruthless Immortal Cultivation World.
He, Luo Chen, should be regarded as one of the ten outstanding youths in the Yu Ding Cultivation Realm.
Yu Ding Sword Sect, owes him a trophy made of Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones!
Alright, let’s stop the self-admiration here.
Apart from refining the Allure Pill twice daily, Luo Chen also refines the Jade Marrow Pill by himself every evening.
So there are so many multicolored beads.
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.
Mi Shuhua steps into the Crescent Valley Pill Room once again.
But as soon as he arrives, he’s angered by a sight and starts fuming.
“What are you all doing?”
On the left side of the Pill Room, there’s a slightly protruding cliff platform.
Usually, there’s a stone table here for Luo Chen to eat and drink.
But today, Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi, and Sikong Shoujia are sitting at the table.
The three are huddled together, a hexagonal board with multicolored stone beads scattered across it in the middle.
Right now, it’s Sikong Shoujia’s turn.
But when he hears Mi Shuhua’s sudden roar, he startles, quickly flipping over the board.
“Reporting to the Gang Leader, we’re studying the characteristics of the discarded Jade Marrow Pills, looking for the chance of success.”
Though it sounds grand, Luo Chen is fuming.
You old man, you were losing so you flipped the board! I don’t care, you bet that book and you’ll give it!
Mi Shuhua is half convinced by Sikong Shoujia’s excuse.
Overall, he doesn’t believe him at all!
But Sikong Shoujia is now watching Luo Chen eagerly, so Mi Shuhua also wants to know if Luo Chen has made any progress.
Seeing the two old men looking at him pleadingly, Luo Chen sighs.
He takes out a jade bottle from his Storage Bag, and casually tosses it to 01′ Mi.
Mi Shuhua, puzzled, catches the jade bottle. However, as soon as it opens, his eyes go wide.
Then…
“Ha ha ha, as expected, you rascal, you’re truly a genius in pill refining!”
Luo Chen gives a thumbs-up. “You really have sharp eyes!”
Uh!
Mi Shuhua is startled. This kid really is shameless!
But immediately afterward, he gleefully pours out a light white pill from the jade bottle.
“Luo Chen, come over here..”
