Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 620 Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill

Ji An understood that as alchemists gained more experience in refining pills like the Vajra Pill and the Precious Flower Pill, there would be even higher requirements in the future.

When the True Demon Calamity fully erupts, alchemists without extremely high alchemy skills will simply not be able to accept tasks to refine these kinds of pills.

Master Lieyang nodded solemnly, "Today we've been frank, and I'll be frank with you. The better you perform, the more attention you'll receive from the association."

From now on, various pill formulas can be purchased at a discount, and you will also be eligible to purchase some cultivation-enhancing pills suitable for your own cultivation level at internal prices.

Ji An immediately straightened up and said with great interest:
"When will I be eligible to purchase elixirs?"

His cultivation level had reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but he had no pills available to further enhance his cultivation.

It will probably take more than a hundred years for the medicinal herbs in the small world to mature. By then, who knows what kind of battle will have broken out between the cultivation world and the true demon world.

"When will you be able to increase the success rate of refining the Baohua Pill to 40%? When will you be qualified to receive one pill per year?"

It can be purchased with high-grade spirit stones, or exchanged for third-tier spirit herbs.

"Fellow Daoist has successfully ignited my fighting spirit. I would like to ask, besides being able to purchase pills at internal prices, can I buy pills in large quantities at market prices?"

If he could purchase the Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill now, his cultivation would enter a fast track.

Master Lieyang pondered and said:
"I will not deceive you, fellow Daoist. If the association happens to have the pills and medicinal materials you need, apart from the pills that need to be kept as reserves, we can hold an internal auction."

"If we don't have the medicinal herbs, we can't buy them even if we wanted to."

Ji An admired the other party's honesty and rubbed his hands together, eager to try:

"I've accepted the refining task. Let's talk about the reward."

"Contribution points are awarded based on the number of pills submitted, which can be used to exchange for pill recipes or medicinal herbs."

As long as you request to exchange for medicinal herbs, the association guarantees to fulfill your request, although there may be a waiting period, but no more than five years.

The ability to exchange medicinal herbs is a guarantee of the association's credibility, and it will certainly do everything in its power to maintain it.

"A regular quality Baohua Pill can earn you 1,000 contribution points, while a premium pill can earn you 1,200."

Any pills exceeding the minimum requirements belong to you. If you choose to hand them over, you will receive 120 high-grade spirit stones and corresponding contribution points for each ordinary quality pill, and 150 high-grade spirit stones and corresponding contribution points for each fine quality pill.

There's one more thing I'll be honest with you: if you can quickly adapt to the entirely new process of refining pills, I'll assign you more refining tasks in the future.

Conversely, if the other party performs poorly, they can only be assigned the task of refining pills, a task for which they have already proven their ability.

As the person in charge of the alchemy department of the branch, only by ensuring the efficient operation of the association can one gain the appreciation of the True Lords.

This was the first formal collaboration between the two parties, and Ji An knew it was an opportunity to prove their worth. He solemnly stated:
"All the fancy talk now is just empty promises. Once you hand over the medicinal herbs to me, we can wait for good news."

His voice was steady and powerful, which made people feel at ease.

Master Lieyang smiled and said, "I really like how confident the alchemists are. Let's go to the alchemy department's territory. I'll send someone to fetch the medicinal herbs."

After the two left Master Qingfeng's room, Master Lieyang instructed the disciple outside the door:
"We will invite Master Qingfeng to the banquet later."

"This disciple will certainly convey this to the Master."

Upon arriving at the room that once belonged to Master Feiyun, the two discussed a series of details. Ji An obtained the medicinal herbs and asked:
"If I meet the association's requirements and want to buy Ziyun Yuzhi Dan at market price, is that possible?"

“Yes, you can,” Master Lieyang scratched his head suspiciously and continued:

"When Master Feiyun left, he said that you were at the early stage of the Golden Core realm."

He didn't use his divine sense to probe the other party's cultivation level; doing so would be too impolite.

"Yes, at that time I was indeed only at the third level of the Golden Core stage, and I broke through after returning to the Immortal City."

Ji An released the spiritual pressure of a fourth-level Golden Core cultivator and pressed for an answer:

"What is the maximum number of Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pills I can buy this time?"

"Two months ago, I refined several batches of Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pills. There are only two people in the association who are qualified to purchase this kind of pill."

If you obtain the third spot, in addition to the one you purchased at the internal price, you can buy three more.

"Okay, I'll come back to complete the task in ten days."

Ji An promised that there was no rush to refine the Fire Essence Pill.

If he weren't stingy with the spiritual tea and the soul-nourishing pendant, he might be able to complete the refining of ten batches of pills in three or four days.

However, working too hard is not good either; a moderate approach over ten days is sufficient.

"I look forward to your good news, fellow Daoist. Let's sign the agreement."

After signing the agreement, the two left the room chatting and laughing, and went to Dingxiang Pavilion together with Qingfeng Zhenren.

Sunrise and sunset, moon disappearing as the sun rises, ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

At Chen Shi (7-9 AM), in the room of Master Lieyang of the Certification Association.

"Fellow Daoist is truly trustworthy. I see that your eyes are clear and bright, so the outcome should be quite good."

Ji An took out several jade bottles, and said mysteriously:

"Please check, fellow Daoist." True Immortal Lieyang opened the jade bottles one by one, identifying the pills one by one, his surprise no longer concealed.

"Ten batches of pills can produce a maximum of thirty pills."

Fellow Daoist, this is your first time refining pills. You have successfully produced thirteen pills, six of which are of the highest quality.

Although I know the effects of the Azure Lotus Heart-Burning Flame are very powerful for alchemists, they are not this powerful.

He easily guessed that the other party's spiritual strength far exceeded that of other cultivators of the same level, and it was very likely that this was innate.

With the spiritual fire of heaven and earth combined with an extraordinary spiritual strength, such talent and luck being possessed by the same person made him feel a little jealous.

"Let's talk about whether I'm qualified to buy the Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill!"

Ji An said with a smile, "That's what I care about most."

Although it was his first time refining the Precious Flower Pill, he eventually succeeded in making fourteen pills, and he even kept one high-quality pill for himself.

“Of course I am qualified. I will calculate and complete your payment first, and then proceed with the transaction of the Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill.”

Master Lieyang pondered for a moment, then said:

"The requirement for this refining task is 20%. If you exceed the requirement, you will receive a total of 8,200 contribution points and 1,020 high-grade spirit stones. Please give me the alchemist's jade token."

For highly skilled alchemists, earning resources is incredibly easy if the supply of medicinal herbs is plentiful.

He took the jade token, made a record of it, and finally took out enough spirit stones to complete the transaction.

"Now, let's calculate the Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill."

The internal price of each ordinary quality pill is one hundred high-grade spirit stones. You can also trade two ordinary pills to the fellow cultivator for one hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones each.

There is also a fine Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill, worth two hundred high-grade spirit stones. What do you think, fellow Daoist?

Ji An had already inquired about the price of the pills, and the other party's offer was fairly reasonable, so he took out six hundred high-grade spirit stones without hesitation.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

He earned spirit stones very quickly, but he spent them just as fast. The other party limited the number he could buy, otherwise he would have chosen to buy more pills.

After the transaction was completed, Master Lieyang waved his hand gently and said sincerely:
"It's not my doing, it's the right that you fought for yourself."

"I'll let you know as soon as there are any rewarding quests in the future, so we can exchange mana imprints."

The other party's demonstrated alchemy skills are worthy of deeper cooperation in the future; perhaps one day he will need the other party to refine his pills.

After the two exchanged magical imprints, True Immortal Lieyang ordered someone to bring the ingredients for ten batches of Precious Flower Pills:

"The success rate requirement for alchemy this time is 30%. I look forward to your continued progress, fellow Daoist."

"Borrowing the good words from fellow Taoist friends."

Ji An exchanged cultivation and alchemy insights with the other party for half an hour before taking his leave.

Upon returning to Blackstone Mountain, Ji An immediately went to the quiet room after entering the cave.

He took out the gourd-shaped stone, probed it with his divine sense to touch the silver spots inside, and then entered the small world.

No matter how many times he came here, he was always shocked. A world spanning nearly a hundred miles had its entrance and exit hidden inside a rock.

Several magical artifacts, including the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, which had successfully transformed, flew out of the dantian; this was their favorite time to roam freely.

The Blazing Sun Furnace stayed obediently in the primordial fire, preferring this place because it felt nourished by the vigorous life force every moment.

The earth unicorn, fire phoenix, and azure dragon circled the Gathering Yuan Tree a few times before scattering in all directions.

Ji An sat cross-legged under the tree, calming his mind and spirit. Once his thoughts were at peace and his consciousness clear, he took out the hard-won Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill and swallowed a pill of ordinary quality.

He began to circulate the Five Elements Wheel, and the elixir in his body was rapidly refined. A continuous stream of magical energy crystals was extracted and added to the golden core.

The Five Elements Spiritual Liquid entered the middle dantian drop by drop, nourishing the golden elixir.

About three hours later, the medicinal power of the Purple Cloud Jade Mushroom Pill was completely refined. Ji An carefully compared the results and found that one pill could save him several years of hard work.

The high-speed cultivation technique intensified the consumption of his spiritual energy, and Ji An felt a dull pain in his head. Continuing to cultivate would be inefficient.

He finished his practice and exhaled, the feeling of rapid progress deeply intoxicating.

Ji An ordered the puppet to bring the medicinal mud, applied it all over his body, and began practicing the Immovable King Technique. Another two hours passed.

At this moment, the fatigue in his soul and body had accumulated to a very deep level, and he began to stroll around in the small world to relax.

Before he knew it, he had arrived on the red soil. The purple cloud fruit was already showing signs of ripening and would be ready for harvest in a few years.

Ji An felt that planting spirit trees in the small world was more worthwhile because it could quickly improve their grade, while planting spirit herbs could only accumulate their medicinal age step by step.

Although the accumulation speed is much faster than the outside world, it still takes a long time. If it weren't for the True Demon Tribulation, he definitely wouldn't have planted spiritual herbs.

He walked aimlessly, and suddenly stopped when he passed the Azure Flame Purple Spirit Gourd.

This spiritual plant gave him a different feeling; the vines and leaves shone with a more vibrant and bright light.
