The medicinal ingredients were added one by one.
Under Xu Mu’s control, the flame continuously spun around the Pill Furnace, forming a whirlpool of flame.
Due to high tension, Xu Mu’s spiritual power depleted quickly, even his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, the room was suffused with heat.
Now it was October, the weather had already cooled off, yet Xu Mu’s room was as hot as the middle of summer.
“When I have money in the future, I’ll definitely buy a heat-resistant Taoist robe. This is really uncomfortable!”
Although he had the Fire-controlling Skill to regulate the heat around his body, being roasted by the heat was uncomfortable.
Moreover, warding off the heat even requires spiritual stamina.
Having proper robes would make his alchemy work more relaxed.
However, even a cheapest robe would cost a Medium-grade Spirit Stone, same as his Pill Furnace. It was beyond his budget for now.
With the passage of time, the medicinal ingredients within the Pill Furnace have entirely integrated.
After Xu Mu exerted the spell to extract impurities, the essence started to precipitate, and the medicinal liquid began to integrate and condense.
Boom!
At the instant when the pill was formed, the runes on the Pill Furnace suddenly lit up brightly.
“Rise!”
Xu Mu’s spell shot up, the next moment, the cover of the Furnace lifted, and eleven round, greenish pills flew out and landed in Xu Mu’s palm.
“Eleven! Ten are high-grade, and only one is the middle-grade!”
Xu Mu’s hands trembled slightly with excitement. He took several deep breaths before gaining composure.
The past few days seemed like a dream to him.
From initial hopelessness, accepting the status quo, until his daughter’s birth, suddenly awakened by the system, his strength metamorphosed.
It all felt like a dream!
He got a sense of unreality!
He was afraid to wake up the next day, having nothing, not putting up the courage to see his wife’s weary face.
Until this moment,
Holding the Qi Gathering Pill in his hand, that tangible sense, finally let him calm down.
All other things were transient, only those that are held in hand are the real.
Given that his proficiency in the Qi Gathering Pill has reached master level, success in production is to be expected, failure would be surprising.
He got a bit too stressed because of how much he cared.
He put ten pieces into the bottle and swallowed one pill to restore his body’s spiritual power.
Once the Qi Gathering Pill entered his stomach, it promptly transformed into medicinal power and spread throughout his body.
Xu Mu felt as if his body was soaked in a refreshing spring, it created a sense of clarity from within.
Running the perfected Spirit Flame Jue, the bits of spiritual energy around, like homing birds, flocked into his body.
“The absorption speed of spiritual energy has increased by more than 50%! No wonder the Qi Gathering Pill is so popular!”
Xu Mu was both surprised and joyous.
Surprised by the pill’s potency.
Pleased that he made the pill himself.
An hour later, Xu Mu’s spiritual power was fully recovered, even somewhat enhanced, which equalled the cultivation he used to do for two or three days.
“Indeed, consuming pills is such a joy, keep on taking pills, and keep on rejoicing!”
When he checked the system, his cultivation had indeed improved a bit.
He’s had the system for quite some days now, this was the first time his cultivation enhanced.
If he keeps consuming the pill every day, he feels he could break through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation in two to three months.
Of course, other than the Qi Gathering Pill, the martial method also played a part in the improvement.
His cultivation was now at least ten times faster than before.
“Should I enhance my Spirit Flame Jue by another level?”
Thinking about the possibility of reaching the fourth level of Qi Cultification, Xu Mu got a bit impatient.
But after thinking it over, he dropped the idea for now!
His main goal isn’t to enhance his cultivation level but to get rich.
Now that he has a grandmaster level Fire-controlling skill, he doesn’t need to increase his cultivation level to enhance his abilities for the time being.
Next, Xu Mu continued adamantly, processing the two other sets of medicinal ingredients into Qi Gathering Pills.
In the end, he harvested a total of thirty-four Qi Gathering Pills, of which twenty-nine were high-grade, four were middle-grade, and one was top-grade.
Having stored away all the pills, after giving instructions to his wife, Xu Mu left the house again.
This time he didn’t bump into Sun Daocheng, not knowing whether he was busy somewhere else, or has already given up.
After arriving at the Marketplace, Xu Mu didn’t go to Shopkeeper Tu’s Snow Lotus Pharmacy, instead, he diverted to the largest pharmacy in the marketplace, Song Family Pharmacy to sell the Qi Gathering Pills.
Not that he’s an ingrate, but his alchemical skills improved too fast. If Shopkeeper Tu bore any petty thoughts, they will lose whatever cordiality they had left.
He will find another opportunity to help him in the future.
“May I know what is it that you wish to purchase, sir?”
A tall and slender maid, dressed in a light blue daoist robe, with a beauty spot at the corner of her eyes, greeted him with a smile.
Despite Xu Mu’s appearance that gave off a sense of poverty, the woman still received him warmly.
Not because of her high-quality service, but because it’s her job.
“I want to sell some Qi Gathering Pills! Do you buy them here?” Xu Mu asked.
Even though he’s been living here for decades, this was his first visit to Song Family Pharmacy.
Because the lower and middle-grade Fasting Pills he used to make, though people would buys them, he was too embarassed to sell them here.
“Of course we do! How many do you wish to sell?”
The moment the woman heard Xu Mu was selling Qi Gathering Pills, her eyes lit up slightly.
Qi Gathering Pills were very popular, basically the demand exceed the supply, if she could buy them in substantial quantities, she would earn herself some commendation from the store.
“Thirty pieces!”
“Thirty pieces?”
The woman’s face stiffened a bit.
Just that many?
In the past, she had received pill masters who came to sell their wares as well, for a Tier One pill like the Qi Gathering Pill, they would sell them in hundreds at least, most would offer thousands.
