Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

"If that's the case, then that would be for the best."

Jiang Yun nodded with a smile.

More than 50,000 contribution points, not including the other two pill formulas.

The other two pill formulas, although they are mid-grade second-tier pills, only require 300 contribution points to exchange once.

However, if one exchanges Qi-boosting pills frequently, these two second-tier mid-grade pill formulas are likely to be quite similar.

Earning over 50,000 contribution points is a conservative estimate.

"I never expected you could develop the Qi-Boosting Pill, which is comparable to five high-grade first-level Yuan Pills. It even takes refining eight pills to develop drug resistance."

Qiu Jiantian put down his abacus, his smile fading, and sighed:

"I'm envious of so many contribution points. If I had known you had the recipe for the Qi-Boosting Pill, I would have definitely tried every means to lure you out of the city and steal it from you!"

Jiang Yun shook her head and chuckled.

Leave the city? It's too dangerous outside the city.

It's impossible for me to leave the city in this lifetime!

"Manager Qiu is joking. Whether we can earn 50,000 contribution points is still unknown," Jiang Yun said, shaking his head.

"50,000 contribution points is a conservative estimate; the actual figure is far more than that."

"You probably don't know how many people have come to exchange for the five types of top-grade first-tier Yuan Pills."

Qiu Jiantian said dismissively:

"In Maple Leaf City, there are 49 workshops, and almost every cultivation family has exchanged for these five pill formulas."

"The Qi-Boosting Pill you developed is more effective than these five pills. I am certain that it won't be long before many people come to exchange for the Qi-Boosting Pill formula."

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment.

What Qiu Jiantian said made sense.

The five first-grade superior Yuan Dan (recipes for the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) are available for exchange in almost every cultivation family in the forty-nine workshops of Maple Leaf City. They then refine these five types of pills and sell them in the market.

The Zhou family, where Jiang Yun lived, was no exception.

Before Zhou's Pill Shop produced second-tier pills, it mainly sold five types of first-tier high-grade Yuan Pills: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The same applies to other elixir shops.

It is evident that a large number of people are exchanging for the five types of Yuan Dan recipes.

"It takes eight pills of the Qi-Boosting Pill to develop drug resistance, and in some ways, its effects are stronger than the five types of Yuan Pills."

"Perhaps I can really earn far more than 50,000 contribution points."

Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Without further ado, let's go and get the medicinal herbs, then refine the Qi-boosting pills and sell them at Zhou's Pill Shop.

As for the first-tier mid-grade Qi Condensation Pill and Qi Nourishing Pill, only a small amount needs to be refined.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Yun bid farewell to Qiu Jiantian and headed to the West Market of Ningyuanfang to purchase medicinal herbs.

After procuring the medicinal herbs, Jiang Yun returned directly to the Zhou family's alchemy hall.

He found Zhou Hongchang and asked him to refine the Qi-Boosting Pill as well.

"This is the formula for the Qi-Boosting Pill. For the next six months, you will refine the Qi-Boosting Pill according to the formula."

Jiang Yun gave the order, and at the same time informed Zhou Hongchang of the formula for the Qi-Boosting Pill.

"Elder, what kind of pill is the Qi-Boosting Pill?" Zhou Hongchang asked疑惑地问道, "Are you no longer refining pills like the Golden Essence Pill and the Wood Essence Pill?"

"First refine the Qi-Boosting Pill; put the Yuan Pill aside for now."

As the eldest elder of the family, Jiang Yun had the final say in both the Pill Hall and the Zhou family's Pill Shop, and he could make whatever pills the Pill Hall wanted to refine.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Hongchang bowed and accepted the order, then returned to the alchemy room to study the formula for the Qi-Boosting Pill.

"Mushu flowers, golden fungus, spiritual honey, and the medicinal ingredient is actually tender willow twigs."

"Can these medicinal herbs, when combined, really be refined into a pill?"

After studying the prescription, Zhou Hongchang couldn't help but feel suspicious.

So he began to refine the Qi-boosting pills according to the prescription.

As a first-grade high-level alchemist, I have refined five kinds of first-grade high-level Yuan Pills for many years.

Zhou Hongchang succeeded in refining the Qi-Boosting Pill on his first attempt.

"It can indeed be made into pills, and it is easier to refine than the five types of Yuan pills."

"Could this be a pill developed by the Grand Elder?"

After refining a batch of Qi-boosting pills, Zhou Hongchang seemed to be deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yun also began refining Qi-boosting pills.

Two months later.

Zhou Hongchang refined more than two hundred Qi-boosting pills.

Jiang Yun refined more than 340 Qi-boosting pills, of which more than 30 had pill patterns.

"Five hundred Qi-boosting pills, thirty of which have pill patterns."

"Take these 530 Qi-Boosting Pills to Zhou's Pill Shop to sell."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun took 530 Qi-boosting pills and headed to Zhou's Pill Shop.

"Elder, you've arrived."

When Zhou Hongsheng, the shopkeeper, saw Jiang Yun at Zhou's Pill Shop, he immediately got up to greet her.

"We've changed the sign outside the shop; from now on, we'll mainly be selling Qi-boosting pills."

Jiang Yun took out 530 Qi-boosting pills and said this.

"Qi-boosting pill?" Zhou Hongsheng asked in confusion, "What kind of pill is this? I've never heard of it before."

"You'll find out soon enough."

Jiang Yun smiled and found a brand new signboard in the shop.

This signboard is no ordinary signboard; it is a mid-grade magical artifact.

With just one's divine sense, one can carve words on a signboard, and the carved words can even glow.

In Maple Leaf City's 49th Ward, many shops attract customers by displaying signs.

"New elixir available: Grade 1, superior Qi-boosting pill."

"Its effects are the same as the five first-grade high-quality Yuan Pills, but resistance will only develop after refining eight of them."

"The formula has been reviewed and certified by the Zixiao Sect's Pill Hall and can be verified at the Duibao Pavilion."

"Each Qi-Boosting Pill costs 45 Yuan Stones, and each Qi-Boosting Pill with Danwen costs 55 Yuan Stones. Danwen pills are limited in quantity, first come, first served!"

Jiang Yun held a brand-new signboard and used his divine sense to inscribe simple and easy-to-understand characters on it.

"The Qi-Boosting Pill has the same effects as a high-grade Yuan Pill, and it can refine eight pills?"

Zhou Hongsheng stared at the message on the signboard, taken aback, and asked suspiciously:

"Elder, did you exchange this pill formula at the Treasure Exchange Pavilion?"

"If this Qi-Boosting Pill has the same effects as the five types of Yuan Pills, why don't I see it being sold in other shops?"

Jiang Yun placed the signboard outside the shop before saying, "I developed the Qi-Boosting Pill; other shops don't know that such a pill exists."

"Next, you should focus on selling Qi-boosting pills and make sure to establish their reputation."

Zhou Hongsheng opened his mouth, his expression moved, and said, "What? It was actually developed by the Grand Elder, and its effects are really comparable to the five types of Yuan Pills?"

Jiang Yun said calmly, "It's even worse."

"If that's the case, the reputation of the Qi-Boosting Pill will surely be established!" Zhou Hongsheng said excitedly.

"It's up to you now. I'll wait for your good news," Jiang Yun said with a faint smile.

"Yes, sir!" Zhou Hongsheng accepted the order and began to get things started.

Jiang Yun did not interfere in these matters and returned to the Zhou family's alchemy hall to continue refining Qi-boosting pills.

If the Qi-Boosting Pill becomes famous, 530 pills will be far from enough for the pill shop to sell.

Two months later.

Zhou Hongsheng rushed to the alchemy hall, looking for Jiang Yun.

"Elder, Elder!"

However, Jiang Yun was busy refining Qi-boosting pills at the moment and ignored it.

"The Grand Elder is refining pills, why the rush?"

At this moment, Zhou Hongchang came out and asked with a stern face.

"The Qi-Boosting Pills at Zhou's shop are being snapped up so badly that I've had to close my shop to customers!"

"I have come here specifically to ask the Grand Elder whether we should open a second alchemy shop."

Zhou Hongsheng explained excitedly.
