“There’s no pill pattern?”
When he took the Second Grade Alchemist assessment, he was able to produce Meridian Pills with pill patterns the first time he refined them.
Now, his Alchemy Furnace was better, his mental state even better, and he even had refining experience. However, the final Meridian Pill he refined lacked a pili pattern, which undoubtedly made him quite frustrated.
“Hmph, 1 can’t believe that I only managed to refine top-quality Meridian Pills last time due to sheer luck.”
Feeling irritated, Lu Yun decided to refine the pills again, using the same procedure and process as before.
This time, everything went smoothly as if he had divine assistance during the entire process. When he opened the furnace to collect the pill, a faint pill pattern could be seen on the Meridian Pill that emerged.
This completely swept away Lu Yu’s previous gloom, and he was greatly encouraged, with renewed confidence in refining more top-quality Meridian Pills.
He continued to refine the pills all in one go.
Two days later.
Lu Yun sat on a cushion, admiring the fifteen shining Meridian Pills floating in front of him, his face full of satisfaction and gratification.
Out of the fifteen pills, twelve had faint pill patterns on them that resembled ripples, while the other three were no different than ordinary Meridian Pills.
From the fifteen sets of materials for Meridian Pilis, he produced fifteen pills, with twelve of them being top-quality Meridian Pills. This production rate was simply terrifying and abnormal.
He smiled faintly and put away the remaining spirit herbs, leaving the Alchemy Room to head straight to Bright Sun Palace.
“Alchemist Lu, how can I help you today?” When Steward Feng saw Lu Yun, he greeted him with a smile.
“Steward Feng, 1 wanted to ask if I can use Sun View Palace’s Alchemy Room to refine my own pills?”
Steward Feng nodded with a smile: “Of course you can, as long as you ensure that your own tasks are not delayed, you can use the Alchemy Furnace freely, as this is one of the benefits of being a member of the Alchemist Alliance.”
“How does the alliance know whether the pills were made using my own materials or not, and how can they detect whether I have concealed the pill quantity and not handed them all over?”
Lu Yun voiced all the doubts he had in his heart.
“Haha, the Alchemist Alliance naturally has its methods.” Steward Feng replied, smiling mysteriously.
Lu Yun was slightly startled, and continued to ask, “What kind of methods?”
Steward Feng didn’t intend to conceal it from Lu Yun, and said with a smile, “There is a treasure called the Remembering Stone that can record everything that happens within a certain range. Each Alchemy Room in Sun View Palace is equipped with a Remembering Stone, which records the amount of pills produced.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun’s face changed instantly, and he silently cursed himself for not being more cautious and thoroughly investigating the Alchemy Room.
If he had not asked Steward Feng this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He could just imagine the scene of him refining dozens of pills at once being played from the images on the Remembering Stone, which would cause a sensation. Even a fool could understand the implications.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, involuntarily breaking out in a cold sweat.
Seeing Lu Yun’s face growing increasingly unpleasant, Steward Feng at the counter explained, “Alchemist Lu, don’t worry. Only the higher-ups in the Alchemist Alliance and specific personnel can view the Remembering Stone, and it definitely won’t spread.”
“Also, the pill formulas you refine are provided by the alliance, so there’s no issue of art theft.”
Lu Yun knew that the other party had misunderstood him, but he didn’t explain. Instead, he smiled and said, “That’s true, since the formulas are provided by the alliance, there’s no fear of them leaking out. If it’s my own formula, 1 just won’t use the Alchemy Room to refine pills.”
“Haha, as long as Alchemist Lu understands.”
Returning to Fly Cloud Pavilion, Lu Yun instructed Yun Xuan not to disturb him. Then he went upstairs and entered his room.
Lu Yun took out an ordinary Meridian Pill and a top-quality Meridian Pill. He planned to refine them to compare the difference between the two.
First, he refined the pill without a pill pattern.
[Energy Value +4]
As expected, the energy value of the Meridian Pill had been reduced by half.
Lu Yun was prepared for this and wasn’t surprised.
Immediately after, he refined the other top-quality Meridian Pill with the pill pattern.
[Energy Value +5]
Upon seeing the information on the panel, Lu Yun was disappointed. He had originally thought that a top-quality pill would at least increase the energy value by half, if not by an entire 100%.
However, the result was only a quarter increase.
After this experiment, Lu Yun lost interest in top-quality Meridian Pills.
He collected his thoughts and focused on the panel in front of him.
[Name]: Lu Yun
[Force]: Flying Spirit Martial Academy
[Martial Arts]: Seven Kill Saber Technique (Reached Profound, can’t be promoted), Black Tiger Saber Technique (Perfection, can’t be promoted)
Astonishing Wind Saber Manual (4th layer 8%)
Gale Thunder Flash Step (Perfection, can’t be promoted)
Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon (True Qi Chapter, Reached Profound 42%)
[Innate Talent]: Level 6
[Martial Arts]: True Qi Realm (Refined eleven times)
[Energy Value]: 1201 (automatically increases by one every two days)
[Concept]: Slaughter Conception (First Rank 47%)
[Alchemy Technique]: Second Level (99%)
His gaze scanned over the Astonishing Wind Saber Manual, Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon, Slaughter Conception, and Second Level Alchemy Technique, finally stopping on the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon.
“Promote.”
Swiftly, his energy value began to plummet, eventually leaving just one behind.
The progress of the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon True Qi Chapter dramatically leaped to Reached Profound 66%.
At the same time, the Pure Yang Aura in his Dantian quickly went through its twelfth refinement..
