Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

They offered Qiu Jiantian a tranquilizer pill as a bribe.

Jiang Yun then bowed and took his leave.

I have now obtained the second-tier low-grade alchemy inheritance.

You should go back and study it carefully, and quickly master the Water and Fire Elixir Technique.

Upon returning to the Zhou family, Jiang Yun first refined a first-grade high-quality pill to complete the family's pill-refining task.

The alchemy task assigned by the family.

Sometimes, the family would wait for a mission in the mission hall and then hand it over to Jiang Yun and Zhou Hongchang to refine.

These tasks are usually accepted in the name of a family, and the family can earn contribution points upon completion.

However, more often than not, the alchemy tasks assigned by the family were actually sold at the alchemy shop.

Therefore, over the years, Jiang Yun has sometimes been very busy and sometimes not.

After completing the family's six-month alchemy quota.

Only then did he begin to devote himself to studying the "Fire and Wood Elixir Technique".

Comprehend the second-tier, lower-grade alchemy inheritance, the Fire-Wood Alchemy Technique.

This means that from now on, Jiang Yun must abandon his previous alchemy methods and techniques.

Of course, not everything should be discarded.

As the saying goes, learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses is the true meaning of integration and mastery.

Jiang Yun took out the jade slip containing the Firewood Elixir Formula.

After reading this inheritance, the jade slip shattered on its own.

The next moment, Jiang Yun began to comprehend it.

"The Fire-Wood Elixir Technique uses wood to control fire and fire to refine wood. Wood is the bone, and fire is the soul... The second-tier elixir inheritance is indeed profound."

From this point on, Jiang Yun began to devote himself to studying the Fire-Wood Elixir Technique.

Learn entirely new alchemy techniques and methods.

At the same time, he learned from others' strengths and made up for his own weaknesses by integrating the core alchemy techniques of the cultivation world.

The intention is to gradually comprehend alchemy techniques that suit him.

After learning the basic Fire-Wood Elixir Technique.

Jiang Yun began to use entirely new techniques and methods to attempt to refine first-grade high-quality pills.

After a series of refining processes...

He discovered that refining first-grade high-quality pills was easier and saved more time than before.

Therefore, in order to familiarize themselves with the new alchemy techniques and methods in the Firewood Elixir Manual.

Jiang Yun used the Fire-Wood Pill Technique to refine a large number of first-grade high-quality pills for his family.

He became increasingly proficient in using the Fire-Wood Elixir Technique.

When he felt he was ready to refine second-tier pills, Jiang Yun began to attempt to refine a low-grade second-tier Fire Essence Pill.

Inside the alchemy room.

One medicinal herb after another was thrown into the alchemy furnace to extract the essence of the medicine.

"The purification of second-tier medicinal materials is more difficult than that of first-tier medicinal materials. Previously, the alchemy techniques and methods were only at the first-tier high-grade level, which resulted in impure purification."

"Now that we have the Firewood Elixir Technique, there are no problems with the purification stage."

Jiang Yun focused intently on refining the essence of the medicine.

After purification, the process of condensing the elixir begins.

A brand-new method for condensing and collecting elixir, as well as new alchemy techniques and the use of divine sense for assistance.

During the condensation of the elixir, Jiang Yun mishandled the process and accidentally used too much force, causing the furnace to explode.

"It's been years since I've had an oven fryer."

Jiang Yun left the alchemy room with no other choice and applied to his family for a new alchemy furnace.

The family will provide him with a pill-making furnace, but they only gave him nine portions of second-tier medicinal herbs.

Nine portions of medicinal herbs are far from enough.

After all, failure is the norm in the alchemist profession.

The difference lies in how many times you fail and how many medicinal herbs you waste.

If there are too many failures, a lot of medicinal materials will be wasted, and the cost of alchemy will increase dramatically.

This is why some alchemists are very poor and have almost no spirit stones on them.

Jiang Yun is definitely considered wealthy among late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

However, he failed many times while trying to become a second-tier low-grade alchemist, which cost him a lot of money.

For example, you can spend 300 contribution points to exchange for the "Deceptive King Visualization Diagram" and then spend 2,000 contribution points to exchange for the Firewood Elixir Technique.

These are all costs.

"All nine portions of medicinal herbs given by the clan chief have been wasted."

"Looks like I'll have to spend spirit stones to buy medicinal herbs."

Breaking through to become a second-tier low-grade alchemist is no easy feat.

Even if Jiang Yun has the talent of "innate elixir veins", it is impossible to achieve success overnight.

If the refining process fails, it will still fail.

Seeing that the medicinal materials for refining second-tier pills had been exhausted, he was unable to continue his attempt to become a second-tier alchemist.

Make bricks without straw.

Jiang Yun had no choice but to change his appearance and go to Zhou's pill shop to sell pills.

Since he became the second elder of the Dan Hall, he has received a monthly salary of thirty yuan shi.

Over three years, he accumulated a total of 1080 Yuan Stones.

In addition, there was the 1840 yuan stone from the first sale of the pills.

Jiang Yun currently has 2910 Yuan Stones in his storage bag.

The reason why there are ten less yuan stones is because ten of them were spent at Chun Chang Fang Restaurant.

"Second-tier low-grade Wood Element Pill, Fire Element Pill, and Earth Element Pill. The cost of one dose of medicinal materials is 160 Yuan Stones. After being made into a pill, it can be sold for 500 Yuan Stones. Pills with pill patterns are sold separately."

"2910 yuan stones can only buy 18 portions of medicinal herbs, which is far from enough for me to practice."

"Keep the top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill, sell all the other pills."

On the way to Zhou's Pill Shop, Jiang Yun planned to leave behind only the top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill.

The other pills were useless to him, so he sold them all.

The first year of these three years was spent refining the Soul-Soothing Pill.

After deducting the 1000 pills given as part of the mission, the two given to Qiu Jiantian, and one top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill, there are 20 pills left.

None of these twenty stones have any red markings.

However, a single Soul-Soothing Pill is worth 100 Yuan Stones and can fetch a good price.

Besides.

In the second and third years, Jiang Yun was refining pills for the family, so he naturally benefited from it.

For example, keeping the pills with the cinnabar pattern for oneself.

Currently, his storage bag contains quite a few Yuan Dan pills with Dan patterns.

The number is approximately twenty, while the average is around thirty.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun stepped into Zhou Family Pill Shop once again.

When he took out a large number of pill-patterned Yuan Dan, the shopkeeper Zhou Hongsheng was shocked again and became even more respectful to Jiang Yun.

After some polite conversation...

Jiang Yun eventually sold all the pills, keeping only one top-grade Soul-Soothing Pill, which he exchanged for 4620 spirit stones.

Adding to the previous 2910 Yuan Stones.

He now has 7530 Yuan Stones.

These spirit stones seem like a lot, but in exchange for the ingredients of second-grade low-level pills, you can only buy 47 portions.

"It's definitely not cost-effective to buy the medicinal herbs yourself."

"Why not give these spirit stones to the clan leader and let the clan purchase them on his behalf?"

"Anyway, the clan leader knows that I'm trying to break through to the second-tier low-grade alchemist level and need medicinal herbs to practice with."

Jiang Yun left Zhou Family Pill Shop and began to ponder.

Thinking of this, he immediately returned to the Zhou family to meet with the clan head.

He handed over more than 7,000 shi (a unit of weight) to the clan chief, asking him to purchase medicinal herbs for him.

"Over the years, you've probably lined your own pockets quite a bit while refining pills for the family, haven't you?"

Zhou Hongde couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Yun take away so many spirit stones.

However, he did not blame Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun remained unfazed and refused to admit it.

"Alright, you can go now." Zhou Hongde didn't pursue the matter further, but said with satisfaction, "I will have someone deliver the medicinal herbs to you in three days."

"Thank you, clan chief."

Jiang Yun bowed and took his leave.

Three days later.

The clan chief ordered his servants to bring medicinal herbs to Jiang Yun.

"They actually prepared sixty portions of medicinal herbs."

"Twenty portions of each of the following: Tier 2 low-grade Wood Essence Pill, Fire Essence Pill, and Earth Essence Pill."

"It seems they deliberately gave me thirteen extra portions of medicinal herbs so I could practice."

Jiang Yun received the medicinal herbs and began to count them, and was immediately overjoyed.

"With twenty practice attempts at each type of pill, a second-tier low-grade alchemist can succeed!"
