“No need. This mission doesn’t require you to be a Tier 7 alchemist.”
Duan Muyou hurriedly shook his head when he saw Chen Fei’s appearance.
The Alliance didn’t even have any requirements when it came to missions. If a deacon like him dared to ask Chen Fei to take the test, was he trying to show that he was bigger than the Alliance?
Qin Jinglan looked at the scene in front of her and turned to look at Chen Fei. Her eyes were filled with light.
Duan Muyou had Qin Jinglan bring Chen Fei to a separate room and had Chen Fei wait for a moment. Duan Muyou hurriedly passed Chen Fei’s medicinal pill to the higher-ups.
An hour later, they arrived at the room.
“Pill Master Tu, it’s him.” Duan Muyou led them to Chen Fei.
“Did you refine this pill?” Tu Jilin was surprised to see Chen Fei’s young face.
“Yes.”
” Yes.” Chen Fei nodded and said, “Does it meet the requirements of this mission?”
“The pill isn’t bad. It’s much stronger than the Eternal Floating Pill. However, many alchemists have submitted similar pills before you, and their effects are similar.” Tu Jilin shook his head.
“Quite a few alchemists?” Chen Fei was stunned. He did not expect this answer.
“Are you surprised?”
Tu Jilin saw Chen Fei’s expression and couldn’t help but laugh softly. “There are so many pill refiners in the Immortal Cloud City. In fact, many pill refiners will develop their own pills. The Eternal Floating Pill and these were only the ones that were more widely circulated. There were some that had better effects, and many alchemists kept them a secret.”
Chen Fei nodded in realization. Many pills were kept secret on the market. It was not that they did not exist, but the amount refined was very small.
For example, the Eternal Ascent Pill No. 1 that Chen Fei derived was better than the Eternal Floating Pill, but the refining method was even more difficult. It could not be said that it was definitely better than the ordinary Eternal Floating Pill.
Many old pill refiners were either bored or had a passion, so they would naturally ponder over it. They usually didn’t show it because it wasn’t necessary. Now that the Alliance mission was issued, and the reward was still the Origin Awakening Pill, one would definitely take out one’s trump card.
“What main ingredients did you use for this pill?” Tu Jilin asked.
“Five years old quasi jade grass and seven years old cabbage flower.”
Chen Fei mentioned two main ingredients, and Tu Jilin nodded. Even if he did not mention the other ingredients, Tu Jilin could roughly estimate the amount. After all, the smell of the pill could tell a lot.
“Not bad. Among so many pills, these are the ones with better cost control.” Tu Jilin praised.
“So many pills were submitted, but don’t they meet the requirements of the mission?”
Yes, the alliance wants to improve the Flying Ascent Pill. Not only do they want to reduce the cost of the medicinal ingredients, but the difference in medicinal effects can’t be too big.” Tu Jilin nodded.
“Then how much of the medicinal effect does it have to reach before it can be considered barely passable?” Chen Fei asked.
“The new pill must have at least 70% of the effectiveness of the Flying Ascent Pill, and the cost must be below 50%. This was the only way to meet the requirements of this mission.”
Tu Jilin admired Chen Fei a little. After thinking for a while, he told him the bottom line of this mission. This wasn’t considered a secret. After all, the Alliance wanted a finished product, a pill formula that could be refined continuously.
It was impossible for this mission to become easier just because of the requirements.
“Understood, thank you, Pill Master Tu.” Chen Fei cupped his hands.
“Work hard!” Tu Jilin waved his hand, turned around, and left with his men.
“You are already very powerful.”
Qin Jinglan saw Chen Fei standing there in deep thought and could not help but go forward to comfort him. This was indeed what Qin Jinglan thought. Not many people could get Tu Jilin’s praise.
“I’m fine.”
Chen Fei could not help but laugh when he heard Qin Jinglan’s words. This matter was nothing to Chen Fei. It was not even a blow. Chen Fei was just thinking about how he should continue to improve the pill formula and create the Eternal Ascent Pill No. 3.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei felt that it was probably because the pill formulas he knew were still a little too few.
Ever since he became an alchemist, Chen Fei had always been very clear about the goal of the pills he refined. He only refined pills that could increase his cultivation. One was that he could use it, and the second was that the price of this pill was higher.
If they only pursued benefits, there was naturally no problem with this method. After all, even the Alchemist Alliance’s assessment used these few types of medicinal pills.
But now, Chen Fei wanted to complete this task and wanted to bring forth new ideas. Just relying on a limited number of pill refinement techniques and understanding of the medicinal properties seemed to be somewhat insufficient.
Previously, Chen Fei had read a period of medicine books and understood a lot of knowledge about medicinal herbs. However, after coming to the Immortal Cloud City, time was squeezed, so he put this matter aside.
From the looks of it now, if he wanted to derive a pill that could satisfy the mission, he had to read a lot of medicine books. He even had to prepare a few more pill formulas that required practice.
Chen Fei thought of the final reward, the Origin Awakening Pill, and took a deep breath. The value of this medicinal pill was worth Chen Fei working hard for.
“I want to exchange for a few pill formulas.” Chen Fei looked up at Qin Jinglan.
“Young Master, follow me.” Qin Jinglan bowed slightly and brought Chen Fei to the counter.
“Let’s see how many contribution points we can exchange for this pill recipe.”
Chen Fei took out Eternal Ascent Pill No. 1. At the same time, he took a brush and ink and began to write Eternal Ascent Pill No. l’s pill formula.
As Chen Fei finished writing the formula for the Eternal Ascent Pill No. 1, the Alliance also gave the results.
Chen Fei was given two options. The first was to directly sell the pill formula from the Alliance for 3,000 contribution points. The second method was to split the profits. The pill formulas would be placed in the Alliance. When someone exchanged for it, the contribution points obtained would be split in half.
Chen Fei was slightly surprised that the Alliance actually had such a choice for pill refiners.
From a long-term perspective, it was still worth it. After all, there would always be profits in the future. The Alliance’s contribution points were still very valuable.
However, there was a problem with the share. More people had to know about this pill formula before others would come to exchange for it.
However, the Eternal Ascent Pill No. 1 had a relatively large flaw. It was a little difficult to concoct, and it wasn’t friendly to Tier 9 or even Tier 8 alchemists. Furthermore, the medicinal effects didn’t increase much.
Moreover, there was a drawback to sharing. That was, you would have income in the event someone actually exchanges for it. It was equivalent to you being sold in the Alchemist Alliance. Chen Fei needed to make this pill recipe famous first, which was very troublesome.
If he sold it, it would be very simple. He would pay 3,000 contribution points for a single transaction. In the future, no matter how much the pill formula sold had nothing to do with him.
Chen Fei needed contribution points now. Chen Fei estimated the value of Eternal Ascent Pill No. 1 and finally decided to sell it.
He had spent a little time to derive the pill formula. It was better to maximize its value. After all, for Chen Fei, sometimes his time could create greater value.
“Sell it!” Chen Fei replied.
The Alliance moved quickly. Chen Fei’s jade pendant was credited with an additional 3,000 contribution points.
“Is there a pill recipe that is difficult to refine but uses ordinary medicinal ingredients but has a special effect?” Chen Fei turned to look at Qin Jinglan and made a rather strange request.
“Yes, please wait a moment, Young Master.” Qin Jinglan smiled sweetly and put in a request at the counter. She then placed an introduction to a pill formula in front of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei curiously picked up the pill formula. After a moment, Chen Fei put down the introduction of the pill formula with an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This Alchemist Alliance had been established for so many years, and indeed everything was complete. They actually even had this kind of pill formula.
This was a pill formula that was specially used to hone the refining techniques of pill refiners. Moreover, there were actually dozens of types of medicinal ingredients used. After successfully refining this pill formula, one would be able to control the flow of the pill. It was a colorless and odorless pill, its effect was to fill one’s stomach, and there would be Pill Veins on the pill.
Yes, it was the pill pattern that appeared on the Eternal Floating Pill when Chen Fei used the Evil Pearl to refine the Eternal Floating Pill outside the Strange Wind Realm.
This pill formula could also be used to refine medicinal herbs with Pill Veins. Although the effect was only to simply fill the stomach, it was indeed very impressive.
How many contribution points?
“1,700 Contribution Points.”
“Done.” Chen Fei nodded his head. This pill formula was indeed impressive in being able to refine ordinary medicinal ingredients into Pill Veins.
A moment later, a pill formula appeared in front of Chen Fei. Chen Fei greeted Qin Jinglan and returned to the inn.
After spending more than an hour, Chen Fei recorded this pill formula.
[Alchemy: Fasting Pill has not yet entered the beginner level]
“Discovered pill recipe. Do you want to spend three thousand silver taels to simplify the Fasting Pill?”
“Simplifying Fasting Pill. Simplification was successful. Fasting Pill -> Egg-Fried Rice!”
Chen Fei’s eyes widened slightly. How did the Fasting Pili formula return to cooking? Fasting Pills were used to prevent hunger, but egg-fried rice was used to fill one’s stomach?
It had been a long time since he had personally cooked. Chen Fei thought for a moment and found the innkeeper.
“You want to borrow the kitchen to cook for yourself?”
The innkeeper stared at Chen Fei with his eyes wide open. He had seen all kinds of requests from customers, but he had never seen anything like this. Did he not trust the food in their inn and want to prepare it himself?
Chen Fei silently pushed ten taels of silver over. Chen Fei didn’t want to go to the rented courtyard because he couldn’t cook egg-fried rice all day. He still needed to practice various cultivation techniques here.
“Sir, we don’t have such a precedent here.” The shopkeeper looked at Chen Fei helplessly.
“Just give me a separate kitchen.” Chen Fei took out another ten taels of silver and placed them on the counter.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. He was not thinking about whether to accept the money but how to reject Chen Fei.
Chen Fei saw through the shopkeeper’s intentions and nodded his head. He took back the silver. It seemed that he still had to work a little harder.
Not far from the inn, Chen Fei had rented a courtyard, so he could only go there for the time being.
Chen Fei first returned to the Heavenly Room in the inn and spent two hours completing the cultivation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. When it was close to evening, Chen Fei left the inn. He needed to buy a bag of rice and a lot Of eggs.
“Big Brother Chen, Big Brother Chen, is that you?’
Chen Fei had just turned a corner when a cautious voice sounded.
Chen Fei’s footsteps could not help but stop. He turned around and saw a young girl in her twenties standing in the distance. Chen Fei did not know this person. But the reason Chen Fei stopped was that the voice just now should have been Si Yinan’s.
“Big Brother Chen, I’m Si Yinan. Can you help my grandfather? He can’t hold on much longer.” Si Yinan’s face was full of tears as he looked at Chen Fei with pleading eyes.
“What happened to your grandfather?”
Looking at this face seriously, Chen Fei really saw Si Yinan’s original outline. However, how did a child who was originally only about ten years old suddenly grow so much?
“Grandfather is unconscious.. If we don’t wake him up soon, I’m afraid he won’t wake up again!”
