Chapter 409 Refining the Dragon Pill [Subscription Request]

After locking on the goal of refining elixirs, Zhou Chun quickly took action.

According to intelligence records, Master Ge Yun and Master Luo Qingni both have their own affiliated shops.

If you want them to personally refine a certain kind of elixir, you can go to the store they are affiliated with for an interview.

However, since these alchemy masters are very busy and have to focus on their cultivation, they will not be willing to accept orders if the pills they want to refine are not precious enough.

Zhou Chun was very confident about the two kinds of elixirs he wanted to ask the two masters to refine, and was not worried that the two masters would refuse to accept the order.

However, the first person he contacted was Master Luo Qingni.

This is because it is known that Master Ge Yun is able to refine the "Dragon Spirit Pill", but it is unknown whether he can actually refine the "Dragon Transformation Pill".

What if that person doesn't know how to refine the "Dragon Pill" and learns that he wants to ask someone to refine the "Dragon Spirit Pill" and the "Dragon Pill", there is no guarantee that he won't have other thoughts.

Therefore, Zhou Chun had already made a plan. Unless both masters were unable to refine the "Dragon Pill", he would not reveal the fact that he was still going to refine the "Dragon Spirit Pill".

Maybe Zhou Chun was lucky. After leaving a message at a store affiliated with Master Luo Qingni, he only waited for half a month before he got the chance to meet the alchemy master.

After learning that he could meet this master alchemist, Zhou Chun immediately went to the best teahouse in Tianyuan Fairy City, "Mingxianlou", and booked a private room. He also ordered a pot of premium spiritual tea worth three hundred spiritual coins.

In this way, he waited in the private room of "Mingxianlou" for almost an hour, and then Master Luo Qingni came.

This master alchemist was quite petite, only a little over five feet tall, but she looked very young, like a 28-year-old girl.

The technique she practiced must be extraordinary. As soon as he entered the private room, Zhou Chun felt a pure and rich wood-attributed vitality from her, which made the wood spirit in his spirit beast bag ready to move.

The faint smell of elixir lingering on her body is the golden signboard of an alchemy master.

Only alchemists who often open the furnace to refine elixirs and refine those extraordinary elixirs will have the smell of this elixir lingering around.

"My name is Xu Fu, nice to meet you, Master Luo."

As the one who needed help, Zhou Chun's attitude at this moment naturally had to be impeccable. He immediately stood up and greeted the other party after he entered the private room.

"Luo Qingni, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Xu."

The girlish Luo Qingni nodded slightly and sat down on the other side of the tea table.

Then, she didn't look at the pot of tea on the table that was worth hundreds of spirit coins. She just looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Let's cut to the chase. Fellow Daoist Xu should know the rules of my alchemy. I wonder what kind of elixir you want me to make?"

Zhou Chun was a little surprised to see her being so direct, but he quickly replied, "I wonder if Master Luo can make the 'Dragon Transformation Pill'?"

"You want to refine the 'Dragon Transformation Pill'?"

Luo Qingni was slightly stunned, and stared at Zhou Chun in surprise, her eyes lingering on the several spirit beast bags around Zhou Chun's waist for some time.

Then he said, "'Dragon Transformation Pill' is not a simple pill. Its main ingredients require the thousand-year-old dragon grass and the blood essence of a third-level or higher dragon. Have you prepared these two ingredients?"

"So Master Luo, you really can refine the 'Dragon Transformation Pill'!"

Zhou Chun's face lit up with joy; he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"You've found the right person. Although there are many alchemy masters in Tianyuan Fairy City, there are definitely no more than three alchemy masters who can possess the formula of the 'Dragon Transformation Pill', and I happen to be one of them!"

Luo Qingni said this with a proud look on her face, as if this was a very great thing.

Of course, in Zhou Chun's eyes, she was a very remarkable alchemist because she could help him refine the "Dragon Pill".

So he immediately complimented him, "That's right, I also specifically asked around and found out that Master Luo had successfully refined the rare elixir [Four Spirits Blood-Transforming Pill]. That's why I came to Master Luo first. It seems that I found the right person!"

Luo Qingni seemed to have heard similar words too many times, and was not very impressed. After hearing this, her expression did not change at all, and she just waved her hand and said, "Okay, there is no need to say more flattering words. Let's take out the materials you prepared first. If there is no problem with the materials, based on the name of "Dragon Transformation Pill", it is indeed worth my effort!"

"Yes, yes, Master Luo is absolutely right."

Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly, and immediately took out the Millennium Dragon Grass from the storage bag, and also took out a bottle of dragon blood from Qing Jiao Qingqing.

Although the Zhou family did not have the recipe for the "Dragon Grass" elixir, in addition to knowing that the main ingredient of this elixir was the thousand-year-old dragon grass, they also knew about the ingredient of the dragon's essence and blood.

So before Zhou Chun left the family, these two things were prepared.

But after seeing what he took out, Luo Qingni frowned slightly and asked, "Only one thousand-year-old dragon grass?"

"Isn't a thousand-year-old dragon grass enough?"

Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and he asked in surprise.

"One thousand-year-old dragon grass can only be used to refine one 'Dragon Pill'. Although I have the recipe, I have no actual experience in refining it. If I only have one chance to refine it, the success rate may only be 50% to 60%!"

Luo Qingni looked at Zhou Chun calmly, her tone was also flat, and she did not hide the fact that she was not completely sure about something.

When Zhou Chun heard her words, he lowered his head and pondered.

Although he had three thousand-year-old dragon grasses in his hand, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to take them all out.

Otherwise, even if the first batch of refining was successful, the remaining Millennium Dragon Grass in his hand might be coveted by others, and the incident that happened with the Millennium Thunder Grass might happen again.

So even though he had already decided in his heart to let Luo Qingni refine the "Dragon Pill", he couldn't agree too quickly, so as to avoid the other party confirming his guess.

After a long time, seeing that Zhou Chun was still unable to make a decision, Luo Qingni was too lazy to wait any longer, and immediately stood up and said, "If Daoist Fellow Xu doesn't have confidence in me, I won't bother you anymore. Daoist Fellow, do you have any other options?"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun immediately said hurriedly: "Master Luo, wait a minute, Xu has agreed. Even if the refining fails, Xu will accept it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qingni sat down again.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with a serious face and said, "Let me make this clear first. If I fail to refine the 'Dragon Transformation Pill', I will not charge you for the refining fee. But if it succeeds, since I provided the recipe, Fellow Daoist Xu must pay me spirit coins equivalent to one-tenth of the price of the pill itself, which is about 25,000 spirit coins!"

"Although we have the two main ingredients for the Dragon Transformation Pill, we still need to buy other auxiliary materials. According to the rules, I will buy these materials. Fellow Daoist Xu, you will have to pay for it, which will cost about 5,000 spirit coins!"

These rules are almost universal rules for the alchemy masters in Tianyuan Immortal City. Zhou Chun also knew this, and did not bargain at this time. He just nodded and said, "No problem, the material fee of 5,000 spirit coins will be paid to Master Luo when the furnace is opened for alchemy!"

"Since Fellow Daoist Xu has no objection, then it is settled. Fellow Daoist, please come to my cave to find me in two months."

As Luo Qingni spoke, she told Zhou Chun the location of her cave, agreed on a specific time with him, and then left first.

For an alchemy master like her, every hour of free time can be used to earn spirit coins, so naturally she doesn't have the leisure to waste time drinking tea here.

After she left, Zhou Chun looked at the untouched teapot on the table and couldn't help but sigh: "One alchemy commission can earn 25,000 spirit coins. The speed at which these alchemy masters make money is really enviable!"

Although he also knew that an opportunity to make money like the "Dragon Pill" was something that only a master alchemist like Luo Qingni could come across once in a few years, it still did not stop him from being extremely envious.

After all, even for the entire Zhou family, after deducting various expenses, the amount of spiritual coins that can be saved in a year is only this amount!

Although he was envious, Zhou Chun knew in his heart how difficult it was for a self-made alchemy master like Luo Qingni to reach this point.

The difficulty level is actually not much different from that of a casual cultivator forming a pill.

Tianyuan Fairy City seems to be home to many alchemy masters, but in fact, this is because most of the scattered alchemy masters from the Great Zhou Kingdom and even the surrounding countries have come here to settle down.

After expressing his feelings, Zhou Chun did not waste the spiritual tea on the table. He poured himself a cup and drank the whole pot of tea slowly. Then he left the "Mingxian Tower" leisurely and returned to the cave.

Two months flew by.

On this day, after Zhou Chun carefully tidied up his appearance, he followed the address Luo Qingni gave him that day and came to a cave in Tianyuan Fairy City.

As a master alchemist with plenty of money, Luo Qingni's cave is much better than Zhou Chun's. It is comparable to the cave where Lin Hongyu practiced alchemy in seclusion in Xiandu Market.

This cave is located inside the mountain. There are two stone doors blocking the entrance, with the three words "Qingni Ju" written on them.

She seemed to have lived in this cave for many years. While Zhou Chun was waiting after sending out the sound transmission talisman, he saw many spiritual herbs planted in the medicine garden outside her cave, some of which were hundreds of years old.

"Friend Xu, please come in."

After Zhou Chun waited for about a quarter of an hour, the door of Luo Qingni's cave suddenly opened and her voice came out from inside.

Zhou Chun's consciousness also sensed a wave of forbidden magic and knew that Luo Qingni had temporarily closed the formation.

Previously, the outside of the cave looked normal, but in fact, there was a powerful formation hidden inside. If someone coveted those elixirs, or wanted to enter the cave without permission, they would definitely be trapped in the formation and would find it difficult to escape.

According to the rules of Tianyuan Fairy City, if someone trespasses into a cave rented by someone else, being beaten to death does not count as a violation of the Fairy City regulations.

Because of this, high-level cave dwellings like "Qing Ni Ju" are not allowed to be entered by unrelated low-level cultivators, in order to prevent some people from being greedy and seeking their own death.

After Zhou Chun entered the cave, he was first led by Luo Qingni into the living room, and the two signed two copies of the alchemy commission contract together.

The relevant rules were stipulated in the contract, and both parties had to leave their own magical imprints on the two spiritual contracts to prove that they were valid.

This avoids the situation where the client deliberately makes trouble and demands compensation if the elixir fails.

It should be said that Tianyuan Fairy City is already very well developed in this aspect, and basically no problems will arise in the fairy city.

After signing the spiritual contract, Luo Qingni brought Zhou Chun to her alchemy room.

This alchemy room is very large. In addition to a purple-blue alchemy furnace, there are also many medicine cabinets for storing elixirs.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you can watch me make the elixir there, but please don't make any loud noises or trigger the formation shield during the process."

In the alchemy room, after Luo Qingni brought Zhou Chun in, she raised her hand and pointed to a place in the corner where there were tables and chairs, and told him her own rules.

"According to the rules, Xu can use the recording device to record, right?"

Zhou Chun just glanced at the corner and then retracted his gaze, then whispered to Luo Qingni to confirm the record.

"Yes, you can take pictures and record them at will. I have also set up a magic circle to record pictures here!"

Luo Qingni nodded and confirmed the matter.

Then she raised her hand and said, "Give me the Millennium Dragon Grass and the Dragon Blood Essence now, and also give me the 5,000 Spirit Coins for purchasing the auxiliary materials."

"Thank you, Master Luo, for everything!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he handed the materials and spirit coins that he had prepared long ago to Luo Qingni.

"All I can say is do your best."

Luo Qingni replied solemnly, then walked towards the alchemy furnace with the materials and slowly sat down cross-legged in front of the furnace.

Then she put her hands together and a white transparent light shield appeared in the alchemy room, protecting her and the alchemy furnace.

This was to prevent her from being disturbed while she was refining the elixir, and also to protect her from being ambushed and assassinated while she was concentrating on refining the elixir.

Considering the defensive strength of the light shield, unless a Jindan stage cultivator uses all his strength, it would be difficult to break it with one strike.

After completing the preparations before refining the elixir, Luo Qingni opened her mouth and spit out a ball of green true fire which fell under the alchemy furnace, officially starting to refine the elixir.

In the corner, Zhou Chun sat on a chair and watched her quietly, while using the prepared recording bead magic tool to record the entire alchemy process.

Every alchemy master has his own unique alchemy skills, such as quenching medicine, chemical medicine, combining medicine, storing medicine, collecting medicine and other corresponding methods. Without detailed inheritance, it is impossible to learn these by just watching their alchemy process.

This is also the reason why alchemy masters such as Luo Qingni dare to let their clients watch them making alchemy.

Zhou Chun took pictures like this purely for safety reasons, to avoid the situation where the alchemist successfully refined the elixir but refused to hand it over.

At that time, as long as he kept the image bead and the previous spiritual contract, he would be in the right whether he took down the alchemist himself or filed a complaint with the officials of Tianyuan Immortal City.
