Su Xing paused when he saw this, then slapped his forehead.
“Right! The strength of the medicinal properties is related to the age of the herbs… How come I only thought of such a simple issue now?”
Su Xing felt a wave of embarrassment.
But in fact, it was not really Su Xing’s fault, since he had no master to guide him in the study of alchemy, and he had to rely entirely on himself to figure things out.
The fact that he could produce elixirs of an ungraded quality was already due to his relentless efforts over dozens of years, let alone elixirs of a graded quality, which would only be harder to craft.
Having realized this, Su Xing felt more confident about crafting the Organ Refining Pill, so he continued with the simulation.
[You want to continue crafting Organ Refining Pills, but at this moment, you are out of the main ingredient, Yellow Immortal Essence. So, you took out some seeds from what Qing Yunzi left you and planted them in your Spirit Field.]
[You have spent all your previous savings, so you crafted a batch of low-quality
Nourishing Face Pills and sold them to Jin Congxue.]
[In the fifth year, the Yellow Immortal Essence you planted before has developed one year of medicinal properties. Thinking that the three-year-old Yellow Immortal Essence is too potent, you took it out in preparation to begin alchemy.]
[In the sixth year, you spent a year crafting hundreds of batches of Organ
Refining Pills, continuously improving the process. You believe your Organ
Refining Pills are now up to standard.]
[One day, you attempt to swallow an Organ Refining Pill.]
[The powerful medicinal properties of the Organ Refining Pill instantly make you feel as though being burned by fierce flames, but you clench your teeth and endure it.]
[You did not immediately die from your body exploding, but blood kept flowing out from your meridians, turning you into a bloody figure. You tried to take a few Wound Healing Pills to treat your injuries.]
[Ungraded Wound Healing Pills have no effect on such severe injuries, and you watch helplessly as you bleed to death.]
[You are dead!]
[Your talent, Undying Will, activates!]
[You blankly stare at the furnace of Organ Refining Pills in front of you…]
[Ding, simulation ended!]
Su Xing was at a loss for words when he saw this.
“Dammit, dead in the sixth year? Is this the earliest I’ve died in a simulation?”
Su Xing felt a sudden pang of regret. After all, he had to wait a week for each simulation, making each session extremely precious.
In this simulation, he was already very cautious, having crafted hundreds of Organ Refining Pills before he barely dared to swallow one.
But unexpectedly, despite reducing the potency of the Organ Refining Pill, he still couldn’t withstand it.
“Sigh… I didn’t die from my body exploding, but from my meridians being shattered… This means my approach must be correct! It’s because the Organ
Refining Pill’s medicinal properties are too strong that I couldn’t bear it!”
Su Xing absorbed the experience and was not discouraged by this single failure. After all, he had previously remained at the fifth level of Body Refinement for three years, so now, he wanted to try breaking through to the Organ Refining Realm despite the difficulties.
“Anyway, waiting one more week… doesn’t really matter!”
Su Xing comforted himself and then looked at the rewards for this simulation.
[Inspiration]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.
[Bone Forging Great Perfection]: Cultivation level, priced at 11,000 energy points.
[Beginner’s Li Fire Alchemy]: Beginner-level alchemy experience, containing alchemy insights for Power Pill (Mahayana Level), Wound Healing Pill (Mahayana Level), Qi Gathering Powder (Mahayana Level), Breath Concealing Pill (Mahayana Level), Swift Pill (Mahayana Level), Organ Refining Pill (Intermediate Level); priced at 100,000 energy.
“The Inspiration talent is definitely a must-choose… It’s like the previous Unyielding talent, very useful in simulation!”
Su Xing first spent 10,000 energy points to redeem the Inspiration talent, then shifted his gaze to the other two options.
“Eh, the Li Fire Alchemy has reached beginner level? And it only costs one hundred thousand energy points?”
Su Xing was surprised, knowing that the basic level Li Fire Alchemy previously cost 130,000 energy points.
But Su Xing quickly realized that this must be because he was already close to reaching the beginner level in Li Fire Alchemy.
After all, he had previously mastered three types of ungraded elixir crafting and an introductory level of low-grade alchemy. He had also memorized the crafting procedures for three hundred and sixty types of elixirs.
In this simulation, he had mastered some more ungraded elixir crafting methods, which means he further improved on his previous base.
“By that calculation… the alchemy experience for an average ungraded elixir is around ten thousand energy points, whereas an inferior-grade pill like the Organ Refining Pill would surely be much more expensive, requiring tens of thousands of points just for the intermediate level.” Su Xing thought, stroking his chin.
But the beginner level of alchemy was also a must-have.
After all, this could save Su Xing a lot of energy for the next simulation.
“It’s a pity, the Body Refinement Cultivation Level of bone-forging Great Perfection can only be chosen next time.”
Su Xing gently shook his head, feeling relatively safe in his current situation and not particularly urgent about improving his Body Refinement Cultivation Level.
On the contrary, what Su Xing urgently needed to improve now was his Qi Refining Cultivation.
Because the stronger his Qi Refining Cultivation was, the more Spiritual Energy he would have in his body, allowing him to learn Alchemy better.
“It looks like I’ll need to find a way to increase my Qi Refining Cultivation in the next simulation,” Su Xing thought to himself and silently chanted:
“I choose to bring back the entry-level Li Fire Alchemy!”
[Ding, you have chosen to take the green talent “Quick Wit, ” costing 10,000 energy points, leaving a balance of 133,000 energy points.]
[Ding, you have chosen to take the entry- level Li Fire Alchemy insights, costing 100,000 energy points, leaving a balance of 33,000 energy points.]
The Quick Wit talent brought significant changes to Su Xing; he only felt his thinking became more lively, and new ideas occasionally popped up in his mind.
The improvement in Alchemy was even more remarkable for Su Xing; it was as if new Alchemy knowledge appeared in his mind and as though he had refined those elixirs countless times, allowing him to produce them with ease.
“Tsk, tsk, worthy of being entry-level Alchemy… I feel like my understanding of the Alchemy Dao has strengthened by quite a bit.”
After the simulation ended, Su Xing began preparing to concoct the low- grade Nourishing Face Pill.
After all, as he simulated more and more, the energy he needed would also increase, meaning Su Xing had to spend more money.
And currently, Su Xing’s primary money-making method was selling the low-grade Nourishing Face Pill.
The efficiency of making money through Alchemy was more than ten times faster than grinding equipment!
So, over the next week, Su Xing concocted ten batches of Nourishing Face Pill.
Due to the improvement of Su Xing’s Alchemy skills, the efficiency and success rate of concocting the Nourishing Face Pill were both higher than before.
With just three days’ time, out of the ten batches of Nourishing Face Pill, there were a total of ninety successfully made elixirs, and even seven or eight of them were of superior quality.
Aside from Alchemy, Su Xing did not continue to take those junior sisters and freshmen down to the dungeons to level every day.
However, he would occasionally take Wang Qingxuan down to the dungeons to grind equipment and level up.
After all, Wang Qingxuan was connected to clues concerning the Descending Sect; it was important to cultivate a good relationship.
Another week flew by quickly, and this day, Jin Congxue came knocking.
“Su Xing, you little rascal have made a killing! Guess how much your batch of elixirs sold for?”
Jin Congxue was dressed in a cheongsam that day, outlining her figure in a curvaceous and seductive manner.
Su Xing blinked and said,
“I guess, it sold for a billion!”
On hearing Su Xing’s words, Jin Congxue’s eyes widened and said,
‘You’re really something! How did you know it sold for a billion? Here… this is the remaining eighty million in final payment. But I know you’re definitely going to buy white-quality equipment, so I’ve already exchanged it all for you!”
With that, Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring.
Su Xing’s eyes lit up as he took the ring.
Jin Congxue exchanging the money for equipment ahead of time indeed saved Su Xing a lot of trouble.
“Thanks! From now on, let’s trade with white-quality equipment each time…
It’ll save me quite a bit of trouble!”
“Oh, and these are the Rich Woman’s Joy Pills I concocted this week, ninety in total. Help me sell them off this week!”
Su Xing then took out a bottle of elixir from his pocket and handed it over. Jin Congxue took the bottle of elixir, blinked and said,
“Oh boy, you can concoct so much in one week, you can earn over a billion a week! With so much money, why don’t you take care of me!” Having said that, Jin Congxue displayed a playful expression..
