Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Six months later.

The Zhou family's alchemy room, where Jiang Yun was located.

The sound of pills hitting the furnace lid came from inside the alchemy furnace.

"The last batch of Wood Essence Pills, collect!"

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace and made a hand seal to collect the elixir.

Immediately, two Wood Essence Pills flew out of the alchemy furnace and landed in the jade bottle next to Jiang Yun.

There were twenty jade bottles around him.

Each jade bottle contains ten pills: one hundred Golden Essence Pills and one hundred Wood Essence Pills.

Until today.

He successfully completed the task of refining one hundred Golden Essence Pills and Wood Essence Pills.

Looking at the jade bottles scattered on the ground, Jiang Yun began to examine them.

"Take out all the ones with cinnabar patterns and keep them for yourselves."

"Just fill in the missing cinnabar patterns."

After examining the pills, Jiang Yun took out five Golden Yuan Pills with pill patterns and four Wood Yuan Pills.

"A total of 214 pills were successfully formed this time, with a success rate of over 80%."

"Nine of the pills were refined into pill patterns, and the probability of refining pill patterns is about five percent."

"Not bad, less than one percent of an ordinary alchemist."

Jiang Yun was fairly satisfied with the probability of successfully refining pill patterns.

After all, this probability will increase as alchemy skills improve in the future.

"After deducting the one hundred Gold Essence Pills and Wood Essence Pills I gave as a reward for completing the mission, the rest are all mine."

Jiang Yun put the pill with the red pattern into his storage bag.

Then, one hundred Golden Essence Pills were placed into Zhou Zongxiao's storage bag, and another one hundred Wood Essence Pills were placed into Zhou Zongyao's storage bag.

After doing all that, he opened his storage bag and began to take inventory.

"There are twelve Golden Essence Pills in total, nine of which have pill patterns; there are ten Wood Essence Pills, eight of which have pill patterns."

"There are eight Water Element Pills, twelve Fire Element Pills, and ten Earth Element Pills. Two of each type of pill have pill patterns on them."

Six months ago, Jiang Yun asked the clan leader for permission to postpone his seclusion for another six months, citing that his state of mind was not yet fully satisfied.

Therefore, while completing the alchemy task in these six months, I also need to refine Gold Essence Pills and Wood Essence Pills for the family.

He kept all the pills with the red markings for himself.

Therefore, there are a large number of Gold Yuan Pills and Wood Yuan Pills, and most of them have pill patterns.

"The six-month deadline has passed, and Zhou Zongxiao and Zhou Zongyao should come to collect the pills to complete their mission."

"Once I submit the mission and receive the contribution points, I will go into seclusion to take pills to improve my cultivation."

"We didn't have enough pills with the red markings before, but now we have enough to take."

With his mission accomplished, Jiang Yun got up and stretched.

Two days later.

Zhou Zongxiao and Zhou Zongyao rushed to the alchemy hall.

"Nephew, tomorrow is the deadline for submitting the mission. How is the pill refining going?"

The two of them stared longingly at Jiang Yun.

"I have successfully completed my mission. One hundred Golden Essence Pills and one hundred Wood Essence Pills are here."

Jiang Yun handed the two storage bags to Zhou Zongxiao and Zhou Zongyao respectively.

The two immediately opened the storage bag and began to check it.

They discovered that there were ten jade bottles inside, each containing ten pills.

Exactly one hundred Gold Essence Pills and Wood Essence Pills.

"My dear nephew truly lives up to his reputation as the Zhou family's foremost alchemist!"

Zhou Zongxiao looked around and found that Zhou Hongchang, the Grand Elder of the Pill Hall, was not there. He immediately began to praise Jiang Yun.

"There's no time to lose. Let's go hand in the mission now and distribute the contribution points to our nephew," Zhou Zongyao said impatiently.

"Alright." Zhou Zongxiao nodded and said to Jiang Yun, "Nephew, take your Maple Leaf City cultivator identity jade token and go to the Mission Hall to collect your contribution points."

"Um."

Jiang Yun's Maple Leaf City cultivator token was obtained on his first day in Maple Leaf City.

When he was three years old, Zhou Zongting put the token in her storage bag and gave it to him.

The token was currently in Jiang Yun's storage bag.

He touched his storage bag and followed Xiaoyao and the other two to the mission hall of Ningyuanfang in the Zixiao Sect.

These mission halls are available in every one of the forty-nine wards of Maple Leaf City.

The main buildings of each market town's mission hall consist of two main halls.

Both of these main halls are where you accept missions.

One of the main halls displays all the Qi Refining stage missions, and Qi Refining stage cultivators often enter this hall to accept these missions.

The other hall has a higher threshold for entry, and most of the cultivators who enter and exit are Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, but occasionally a Qi Refining Great Perfection stage cultivator will also enter.

Xiaoyao and his companion led Jiang Yun into the mission hall and headed straight for the Qi Refining Hall.

As soon as Jiang Yun entered the main hall, he was captivated by the scene inside.

The interior of the main hall is extremely spacious, so spacious that the surrounding walls cannot be seen.

A large crowd of people were gathered around, with Qi Refining stage cultivators coming and going, accepting and submitting tasks.

Jiang Yun estimated that the area inside this main hall was probably comparable to that of Qixia Lake.

He looked around and followed Xiaoyao and the other two into the depths of the main hall.

Inside the main hall, each task type was divided into designated areas.

For example, alchemy tasks, talisman-making tasks, and weapon-refining tasks are all located in different areas.

Jiang Yun accompanied Xiaoyao and the other two to the area where they received the alchemy task.

In this area, many people sit cross-legged not far from the quest log, waiting for the relatively simple alchemy quests that offer a lot of contribution points.

There are three managers in charge of the alchemy area.

All three were outer disciples of the Zixiao Sect, with Qi Refining Perfection cultivation.

If they can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they will become inner disciples of the Zixiao Sect.

"Manager Wu, I'm here to submit the task."

Zhou Zongxiao handed his identity jade token to the steward and placed one hundred Golden Yuan Pills in front of the counter.

"For the commission of one hundred Golden Essence Pills, the Purple Cloud Sect will take a cut of 20 contribution points, and the mission reward will be 180 contribution points."

Manager Wu picked up Zhou Zongxiao's jade token and examined it, and then he knew what kind of mission Zhou Zongxiao had accepted.

Then he began to examine the pills.

"One hundred Golden Essence Pills are correct, you will receive 180 contribution points."

As he spoke, Steward Wu was about to transfer the contribution points to Zhou Zongxiao's account.

"Wait, this task was completed in cooperation with Zhou Yun. He contributed the most to refining the pills, and he gets 130 contribution points."

Zhou Zongxiao did not go back on his word.

He asked Jiang Yun to take out his identity token and collect contribution points.

Jiang Yun took out the identity token of the cultivator from Maple Leaf City and handed it to Steward Wu.

"Zhou Yun is indeed a cultivator from Maple Leaf City."

Manager Wu verified the authenticity of Jiang Yun's token before allocating 130 contribution points to Jiang Yun.

The remaining fifty contribution points were recorded in Zhou Zongxiao's account.

"alright."

After allocating the contribution points, Steward Wu returned the identity tokens to Zhou Zongxiao and Jiang Yun in turn.

"Thank you for your help, manager."

Zhou Zongxiao thanked him.

Jiang Yun then checked his identity token.

He saw a line of text on the back of the token.

Zhou Yun, Contribution Points: 130

"The identity token has this function too. What if someone else finds it?"

A question arose in Jiang Yun's mind.

If the identity token is lost and someone else finds it, will the contribution points be stolen?

Or perhaps someone else found his identity token, then immediately went to exchange it for treasures, spending all his contribution points.
