I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 598: Chapter 596 Apothecary Seven Chapters_1

The bait has been cast, as for when the fish will bite, that has nothing to do with Lu Xuan now.

He returned to his dwelling, patting the Fat Bird’s round belly, its flesh surged, soft and comfortable, felt extremely good.

He ventured into the Spirit Field, examining all the Spirit Plants there. If he identified any minor needs in any of the plants, he would do his best to meet them.

At last, half of his Spiritual Power was consumed before he returned to the small courtyard.

After a brief rest, he entered a Pill Room nearby.

As a result of receiving many Elixir Recipe Experience Packages from the Light Cluster, Lu Xuan’s Alchemy Dao progressed rapidly, achieving the Grandmaster Realm level in several elixirs.

He took out the previously stored Primordial Essence Herb, carefully and cautiously separating the leaves with his Spiritual Power. In the end, he was left with only a concentrated and pure cluster of Spiritual Energy.

Next, he added the processed Primordial Essence Herb with other ingredients, skillfully merging them into one according to the records on the Elixir Recipe.

Underneath the Pill Furnace, a wisp of azure flame suddenly lit up, extending rapidly, burning quietly.

The Azure Alchemy Fire was a fourth grade one that was said to have originated from the Great Alchemic Sect, the Douluo Sect. This strange fire was extremely suitable for refining elixirs, slightly enhancing the success rate of pills and their quality.

Lu Xuan, in a given order, threw the processed ingredients and solvents into the Pill Furnace.

Although his experience in refining Foundation Establishment Pills was not very rich, due to the absorption of a large number of Pill Formula Experience Packages, his level of Foundation Establishment Pill Refining was at the level between minor achievement and major achievement, which was much stronger than most of the Pill Masters in the Dan Palace of the Sky Sword Sect.

After an hour, his Spiritual Sense keenly detected the changes in the Pill Furnace. With a thought, the lid of the Pill Furnace was lifted, and four pills the size of longan fruit shot out like lightning.

Lu Xuan stopped the four pills with his Spiritual Power, spread out his palm, and the four Foundation Establishment Pills lay quietly in his hand.

There were many spiritual patterns moving on the surface of the pill, and a faint aura radiated in all directions, refreshing the spirit of those who smelled it.

“Four Foundation Establishment Pills in one furnace, not bad.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

“If there is a main source for spirit stones in the future, it will depend on Alchemy.”

Although he had many treasures, it was a bit difficult to sell fifth-grade treasures with his current Foundation Establishment Realm.

Only by finding a power with excellent credibility and concealing his identity would he have a chance to exchange them for other things.

As for third and fourth-grade treasures, he sold them off one after the other, in order to obtain high-grade spirit seeds, or flesh and blood of demon beasts, and so on.

The most abundant one in his hands were fourth-grade Sword Symbols, which were extremely useful to him at the moment, so he planned to keep them all for himself.

His current success rate for refining Foundation Establishment Pills was about sixty to seventy percent. If a Pill Master had about a thirty percent success rate in refining a certain pill, it could basically achieve a break-even point. If it was sixty to seventy percent, then it would be a sure profit.

“At this rate, every batch of Foundation Establishment Pills I make could earn me thousands of low-grade Spirit Stones.”

“If I can increase it to the major achievement or even Grandmaster Realm level, then one furnace could earn me tens of thousands or even two tens of thousands of low-grade Spirit Stones.”

Lu Xuan clicked his tongue, admiring the money-making abilities of Grandmaster level Pill Masters.

With this in mind, he was full of motivation and continued to refine the pills.

After refining ten batches of Foundation Establishment Pills in a row, he stopped when he felt slightly tired.

Out of the ten batches, seven were successful, with three to four Foundation Establishment Pills each batch, giving him a total of twenty-six Foundation Establishment pills.

“I can barely consider myself a grandmaster in Pill Dao.”

Lu Xuan smiled slightly, storing the Foundation Establishment Pills in his storage bag.

Suddenly, he felt something unusual on the back of his hand, like a stream of water continuously flowing.

Upon sensing with his Spiritual Sense, he noticed that the Medicinal Pangolin, which had been living in his Pill Room, had somehow wandered over.

“Did you have enough elixir toxin to eat today?”

Lu Xuan focused his mind on the translucent, formless Medicinal Pangolin, feeling the joy it radiated as he softly laughed.

The Medicinal Pangolin had an appetite for the pill toxins infused within the Pill Furnace and Elixirs. Failing three batches of Foundation Establishment Pills would certainly provide it with a feast.

“Hm? Is it about to breakthrough?”

Suddenly, the Medicinal Pangolin lounging on his hand began exuding an increasingly strong aura, its form slowly materializing.

A faint medicinal fragrance filled the Pill Room. The scent moved fluidly, slowly gathering around the Medicinal Pangolin, transforming into a curious smoke that merged into the pangolin’s body.

More and more smoke gathered, eventually enveloping the Medicinal Pangolin.

After a while, a barely audible noise rang out, small cracks appeared on the mysterious smoke cover. From Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense, a Medicinal Pangolin, its size having more than doubled, flew out, its weightless body landing on his shoulder.

As his mind focused on the Medicinal Pangolin’s body, a thought surfaced in his mind.

[Medicinal Pangolin, fourth-grade Strange Insect, almost formless and colorless, shy of contact with living beings, loves to eat the pill toxins left in pill furnaces and elixirs. It parasitizes the pill furnace, automatically cleaning and maintaining it, ensuring the quality of the pill furnace, and slightly enhancing the quality of elixirs.]

“You finally grew to the fourth grade. It wasn’t in vain that I spent so many fourth and even fifth-grade elixirs to nurture you.”

Lu Xuan was filled with emotions. All the elixirs he had produced from the Light Cluster had been through the Medicinal Pangolin’s hands, providing nourishment for it while also letting it cleanse any residual pill toxins.

The Fourth Grade Vitality Pill, Desire-Bewitching Pill, Dust Removal Pill, the recent Earth Element Pill, and even the Fifth Rank Saint Baby Pill he obtained earlier. Moreover, he had a habit of practicing Alchemy daily. These various factors contributed to the Medicinal Pangolin’s rapid growth.

“I wonder what reward the Light Cluster would give for this rare fourth-grade Strange Insect.”

Lu Xuan comforted the Medicinal Pangolin, which had just successfully broken through, his attention drawn to the white Light Cluster silently floating in the air.

With anticipation, he lightly touched the surface of the Light Cluster.

The Light Cluster exploded silently, turning into countless tiny points of light that formed an ancient book’s illusion, which then entered Lu Xuan’s body.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Medicinal Pangolin promoted to the fourth grade, obtained “Apothecary Seven Chapters” (Upper).]

An old, worn-out book appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

He opened it carefully; the book contained detailed information about a types of fourth-grade Spirit Plant, tips on handling, and the specific medicinal properties. There’s also which kind of spiritual medicine can be combined or clashed with each other.

Further flipping through, there were introductions to many elixirs, but it was a pity that he did not discover any specific Elixir Recipes.

[“Apothecary Seven Chapters,” a treasure with no rank, was said to be a work on Alchemy Dao written by a Primordial Infant Elder who is good at Alchemy from Douluo Sect, recording the medicinal properties of many spirit plants in the world, it is extremely valuable for Alchemists.]

[The remaining chapters even record several fifth and sixth-grade Elixir Recipes deduced by him, yet to be verified.]

“A work by a Primordial Infant Elder level Pill Master? I wonder what it would fetch if I brought it to that so-called Douluo Sect.”

When he learned that the treasure was rankless, Lu Xuan’s heart chilled at first. After understanding the detailed information of the ancient book, he felt much relieved.

“It records the formulas deduced by the Primordial Infant True Monarch in the last chapters?”

Unable to wait, he swiftly flipped to the end.

“Huh? Where are the last chapters?”

“What a shitty truncation!”

Unable to hold it in, he cursed aloud.
