Luo Chen didn’t want to face the wrath of a Foundation Establishment
Cultivator.
Therefore, he had to push himself to accelerate the refinement of the Jade
Marrow Pills.
But after all, he was a kind person who had experienced nine years of compulsory education, understanding that human life is of utmost importance. Thus, even when forcing himself to achieve something, he still tried his best to prioritize safety above productivity.
“I hope everything goes smoothly,” he muttered.
With a flick of his long sleeve, Luo Chen walked into the largest pill room.
“Increase the fire, the temperature isn’t high enough!”
“Damn it, where did you learn the Play Flame Technique? Can’t you just halve the Fireball Technique!”
“Hall Master, there’s a burnt smell coming from Pill Room No. 2!”
“Maintain the current fire intensity here, I’ll be right back.”
“It’s ruined, this batch is ruined. Remove the waste material. Ask Mi Li to clean the pill furnace and prepare for the next round.
“Hall Master, the pill furnace in Pill Room N0.3 is shaking violently.
“What are you standing there for? Tell them to get out quickly!”
All the refinements in the morning ended in failure, not a single success.
Luo Chen’s expression was so gloomy it was frightening.
Everyone else kept their heads down, busying themselves with their own affairs, afraid of incurring his wrath.
After lunch, Luo Chen adjusted his mental state.
In the afternoon, he didn’t continue to refine Jade Marrow Pills; instead, he instructed Mi Li and Tang Quan to start refining Fasting Pills.
This time, he chose to let these medicine disciples personally handle the process.
He merely stood by the side, occasionally providing guidance.
Incredibly, doing things this way significantly improved his mood.
Indeed, one can only find a sense of achievement and joy in the area they excel
in.
With more hands and more pill furnaces, many successful batches were produced in the afternoon, despite some failures.
Seeing the freshly made Fasting Elixirs, not only Luo Chen but also everyone else’s mood improved substantially.
The failure in the morning not only affected Luo Chen but actually made everyone else even more terrified.
“Alright, that’s it for today’s pill-refining, we’ll continue tomorrow.”
“These Fasting Pills aren’t of the best quality, so the Pill Cultivation Experts don’t need to put them in the Pill Cultivation Room. Just distribute them directly to the brothers at the entrance of the Combat Hall!”
Luo Chen said casually, showing not even a hint of regret.
According to Mi Shuhua, Fasting Pills could be considered a kind of welfare within the gang and could be distributed to the cultivators in the gang from time to time.
Of course, this only applied to the Lower Grade Fasting Pills.
If it was Medium Grade or Ascendant Grade, gang members would still have to purchase them at internal prices.
Having dealt with these matters, Luo Chen retreated back into the Pill Room. Standing outside the door, Gu Caiyi asked, “Aren’t you going home today?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Then I’ll go first.”
“Oh right, if you encounter Duan Feng, ask him if my magic tool has been fixed yet. If it’s ready, bring it back for me. I might be staying in the Pill Hall a lot these days.”
Listening to his calm words, Gu Caiyi felt that Luo Chen seemed a bit different from before.
She couldn’t say exactly what was different, but it was that sense of focus that came out unintentionally when one was truly dedicated to something.
“Could it be that he wasn’t really dedicated to the matters of the Pill Hall before?”
On her way home, this idea emerged in Gu Caiyi’s mind.
Meanwhile, in the Pill Room, Luo Chen personally refined a batch of Jade Marrow Pills.
Looking at the twenty pure white pills that came out of the furnace, like jade, Luo Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
“My proficiency has reached the proficient level, and the pill success rate has indeed increased to 20 percent.”
“The many failures today almost made me doubt myself.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen casually popped a Jade Marrow Pill into his mouth as if it were a piece of candy.
Snacking?
No such thing!
It’s just the cook tasting the food, that’s it!
After leaving the Pill Room, he noticed that the hall was almost empty. Only outside, a few late-stage cultivators were on guard and patrol. These cultivators belonged to the Pill Hall but primarily came from the three combat halls. Luo Chen had no intention of befriending these people.
He simply took out “Qingyuan Pill Explanation” and began to read it carefully at the stone table on the cliff platform.
“Last time I only learned the Breaking Jade Hand, this time I need to put some effort into this Simplicity Hand.”
The Breaking Jade Hand is good at handling mineral materials. Only after learning this technique could he handle Wan Jade properly. The Simplicity Hand, on the other hand, is intended for various low-level medicinal herbs.
Although he no longer specifically undertakes the work of processing medicinal materials, there are some medicinal materials that can’t be processed in advance.
It is said that some high-level spirit grass and fruits must be processed immediately after being picked. Otherwise, they would be stained with Earth Turbid Qi, and their medicinal properties would be completely gone.
Luo Chen has not yet encountered this restriction with the Jade Marrow Pill, but he may encounter a pill formula requiring such a technique in the future.
It’s always good to learn in advance.
After fully grasping the Simplicity Hand and even being able to recite it backwards, Luo Chen began practicing with some inexpensive and common medicinal materials in the Pill Shop.
Through trials of failures and successes, Luo Chen was undeterred. The patrolling cultivators occasionally came in and noted this scene.
As it was getting late, Luo Chen quietly took a Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace out of the Pill Room, then returned to his stone house and activated the array.
Once he had ensured that he wouldn’t be disturbed, Luo Chen lifted the floorboard and descended into the mine tunnel.
After numerous twists and turns, he returned to the Spirit Vein Cave.
-I wonder if refining Nourishing Origin Liquid directly here will affect the pure Spirit Qi emitted by the Spirit Vein?”
While contemplating, Luo Chen had already completed the preparatory work. In the slightly cramped cave, the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace was set up and a blazing fire burned for a while..
