“Let’s see how much Energy Value I’ve earned this time!”
Lu Yun sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the panel.
[Energy Value]: 317 (one energy value automatically increases every two days)
Looking at the low energy value on the panel, Lu Yun felt a bit helpless.
In the Alchemy Room, he occasionally had top-quality Qi Combining Pills like candy, eating up seven bottles of high-quality Qi Combining Pills in total. Unexpectedly, the Energy Value he received was still so low.
Shaking his head slightly, he took out two bottles of Meridian Pills that had just come out of the furnace not long ago.
After the full refinement, the Energy Value reached:
[Energy Value]: 411 (one energy value automatically increases every two days)
He focused on the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon True Qi Chapter, without hesitation, and muttered in his heart, “Upgrade.”
Night.
Alchemist Union.
Qu Feng held a delicate jade mirror in his hand, with faint lines engraved on the edge and shimmering mysterious purple light.
In the mirror was a silent still image.
It was a closed room, rather dark, and the massive alchemy furnace inside was extremely eye-catching.
Qu Feng formed hand seals, and a ball of light dropped on the mirror surface. The image in the mirror quickly played backward, finally stopping at the moment when the alchemy room door was opened.
Changing his hand gesture, Qu Feng played the still image at four to five times the speed.
At this moment, a young man entered the Alchemy Room, activated the earth fire, and began refining pills.
Not long after, the pill furnace opened with a pure white, faint halo on the surface of the pill.
The young man scrutinized it and then threw it directly into his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Qu Feng was taken aback.
“This kid, taking the first pill for himself, is this how you freeload? And he’s doing it so brazenly. Does he think nobody would know with the Remembering Stone around?”
The video continued to play, showing the young man taking the pill, then looking in his direction with a smile.
“Arrogant, simply too arrogant!” Qu Feng was so upset that he wanted to drag the boy out and beat him up.
Obviously, this kid knew there was a Remembering Stone, yet he still dared to steal the pills!
Because refining pills would inevitably cause some loss, it was normal for alchemists to take a few pills to replenish themselves during the process. This was not prohibited by the Alchemist Union.
However, the pill consumption by the boy in the video was too excessive. There couldn’t be any loss just after opening the furnace.
Even if there was some loss, taking the first pill was justifiable. But making such a gesture in the direction of the Remembering Stone, if this wasn’t a provocation, then what was it?
Qu Feng was furious and wanted to beat up the boy.
“No, I must endure, I must endure it for the sake of your refining top-quality pills in your very first attempt. Even if I can’t endure it, I must forcefully hold back!”
His fists clenched tightly, and a strong aura radiated from him, causing a buzz in the surrounding air.
The silent images in the mirror continued to play at high speed, and under Qu Feng’s control, it reached fifteen times the speed.
At this speed, ordinary people might not be able to see anything.
However, for Qu Feng, a Level 6 Alchemist, everything appeared crystal clear, and not a single detail escaped his eyes.
“Hmm, not bad. The refining and purification process is very smooth. Only those with extremely high control over their True Qi can achieve such a level, and they can do so without wasting spirit herbs.”
As Qu Feng watched the boy’s smooth alchemy process, he enjoyed it and gave some comments.
“Hmm, it’s the crucial moment.”
Qu Feng’s hands moved slightly, and the image in the mirror slowed down, gradually becoming ten times the speed.
The boy was seen controlling the fire with one hand and the merging of the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace with the other. At such a critical moment, even some veteran alchemists would become extremely cautious and careful, fearing that the furnace might explode.
However, the boy remained calm throughout, and his manipulation was as smooth as ever, making it all look like a performance, pleasing to the eyes.
“Tsk tsk, this kid’s skill in controlling fire and pill condensation is not inferior to those Third Grade Alchemists.”
Unknowingly, Qu Feng’s anger dissipated, and what took its place was admiration and praise.
Suddenly, the pill furnace opened, and twelve beams of light rushed out of it, hovering in front of the young man.
At this point, Qu Feng immediately paused the image, with his eyes falling on the twelve plump, lustrous, pure white pills with faint halos.
When he noticed the other three high-quality pills with faint halos, his excitement intensified.
“A success rate of 100%, and a high-quality rate of 30%.”
“Good! Good! Good!”
The ability to elicit three ‘good’ words from Qu Feng, a Level 6 Alchemist, showed just how outstanding these results were.
The video resumed playing, and the young man took one pill, a high-quality one with a pill pattern.
The scene instantly made the previously excited Qu Feng twitch at the corner of his mouth.
“Although excessive, 1 can bear it.”
Not long after, another batch of pills came out of the furnace.
The success rate was still a terrifying 100%, and the high-quality rate had reached 40%.
However, this time, the young man in the video was even more excessive, directly eating two high-quality pills like candy.
“Hold it in!”
“Hold it in again!”
“Hold it in once more!”
In the end, Qu Feng went numb, put away the jade mirror, left the room, and told a disciple:
“Tell the Bright Sun Palace to double the monthly pill-refining quota for Lu Yun from now on.”
Late at night.
Fly Cloud Pavilion.
[Name]: Lu Yun
[Power]: Flying Spirit Martial Academy
[Martial Arts]: Seven Kill Saber Technique (Reach Profound, unable to upgrade), Black Tiger Saber Technique (Perfection, unable to upgrade)
Astonishing Wind Saber Manual (4th Layer, 8% completion)
Gale Thunder Flash Step (Perfection, unable to upgrade)
Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon True Qi Chapter (Reach Profound, 74% completion)
[Innate Talent]: Level 6
[Martial Arts]: True Qi Realm (Refined eleven times)
[Energy Value]: 41 (one energy value automatically increases every two days)
[Conception]: Slaughter Conception (First Rank, 47% completion)
[Pill Refining Technique]: Level 3 (1% completion)
“Only have 41 Energy Value left?”
Lu Yun stroked his chin.
Without enough pills, his strength improved too slowly, and since the time was spent on refining pills, his other martial arts showed little progress.
Only his Pill Refining Technique broke through the bottleneck to Level 3.
“It seems that I can’t slack off on managing Fly Cloud Pavilion and need to run it well.”
For him, the Energy Value gained from refining pills that didn’t match his level was limited. It was better to sell them and convert them into spirit crystals instead.
Then he could use the spirit crystals to purchase new spirit herbs, maximizing their utility..
