I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 428: Chapter 246 – Unleashing the Extreme Limit of Alchemy_1

More importantly, he has already stockpiled significant resources for alchemy.

Forth Grade Azure Alchemy Fire, a type of Strange Fire highly suited for elixir production, can slightly enhance the chance of elixir formation and the quality of the elixirs.

A fourth-grade Strange Insect, the Medicinal Pangolin, feeds on the Pill Toxin in the Pill Furnace and elixirs, providing significant assistance in elixir production while also benefiting greatly itself.

Additionally, he owned three Pill Formula Experience Packages.

Yuan Cultivating Pill, Spirit Gathering Pill, and most importantly, the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In the past light clusters, he absorbed many Pill Formula Experience Packages, especially the first two, his proficiency in producing the corresponding elixirs have reached the Grandmaster Realm. He was confident that he was not inferior to many Alchemy Masters in the Dan Palace.

These factors led Lu Xuan to decide to attempt elixir production.

“I won’t hide it from you, Sister, I truly want to learn alchemy. I would appreciate it if you could recommend me to the Dan Palace to learn the techniques of alchemy,” Lu Xuan said earnestly, standing up.

“With your expertise in Spiritual Plants, there will be numerous alchemists who would want to cozy up to you once you enter the Dan Palace,” Sister Guan playfully remarked. “Who wouldn’t want to know a skilled Spirit Plant Master and have the opportunity to acquire rare, high-grade spiritual plants?”

Lu Xuan followed her to the Dan Palace right then and there.

The Dan Palace covered a vast area, more than twice the size of the Agricultural Department Hall, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, the Sword Hall, and others.

In the broad square before the main hall, neatly cut First Grade ores paved the ground. Dozens of spiritual springs squirted water from delicate fountains, blanketing the entire square with a thin layer of spiritual fog, flaunting its wealth.

Lu Xuan was left in awe again by the level of luxury on display inside the grand main hall of the Dan Palace.

Upon entering the Dan Palace, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air.

“It’s the smell of Spirit Stones,” Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

“Junior Brother Lu, there are a few things I must tell you before you enter the Dan Palace,” Guan Wan softly spoke as they walked down an ancient and spacious spiritual wood corridor.

“Yes, Sister.”

“The alchemists in the Dan Palace are primarily divided into two types: ordinary alchemists and core alchemists. As a newcomer, you will need to start as an ordinary alchemist.”

“That’s not a problem. I just started learning alchemy and certainly won’t break the rules of the Dan Palace,” Lu Xuan affirmatively responded.

“Ordinary alchemists have their rights and duties.”

“They can learn First Grade, Second Grade, and a few Third Grade alchemy recipes from the Dan Palace. When they start producing a particular elixir, they can obtain varying amounts of alchemy materials for free.”

“If they continue to produce elixirs, they can also purchase corresponding alchemy materials, pill furnaces, pill fire, etc., at a low price from the Dan Palace. The produced elixirs can be sold to the Dan Palace at a good price, not inferior to selling them to other cultivators or forces individually.”

Lu Xuan nodded at this.

If the elixirs he produced could be sold in large quantities to the Dan Palace at a high price, it would indeed save a lot of time and avoid unnecessary trouble.

“As for the duties, the Dan Palace sometimes needs to produce large quantities of a particular elixir to meet the needs of the Sect. The Palace will then recruit alchemists to assist in the production. Of course, suitable rewards will be given.”

Lu Xuan did not object to this. Enjoying the benefits of the Dan Palace, it was no big deal to fulfill these duties.

“The Pill Formulas learned from the Dan Palace come with an obligation to make a Heart Demon vow to prevent the formulas from being leaked.”

“When promoted to a core alchemist and learning higher-ranked and more precious Pill Formulas, the Heart Demon promise becomes more severe and complicated. Violations would result in significant punishments, so be mentally prepared.”

“I have no problems with that.”

Lu Xuan, with a serious expression, said that not leaking the Elixir Recipe is the most basic requirement, as long as they do not prohibit him from selling the Elixirs, it would be acceptable.

“Apart from access to priceless Elixir Recipes, Core Alchemists also enjoy other benefits, such as the ownership rights of High-Grade Pill Furnaces, Pill Fires used in other places of the Sect and the Dan Palace, Pill Rooms, etc.,” Sister Guan explained clearly, leading Lu Xuan to join the Dan Palace. After all the processes were completed, they arrived at a room filled with Jade Slips.

She activated a Jade Badge. After the Spell’s spiritual power dissipated, she took out a Jade Book from inside and handed it to Lu Xuan.

“Junior Brother Lu, in this Jade Book, you can find the Elixir Recipes that ordinary Alchemists can master. It records the use of Elixir, the required materials, the refining process, etc. The detailed refining methods are in the corresponding Jade Slips.”

“If you are just starting Alchemy, you can choose according to your own preference.”

“The Alchemy Dao is not simpler than Cultivating Spiritual Plants, so remember not to bite off more than you can chew,” Sister Guan advised gently.

“Thank you for the reminder, Sister Guan, I will keep that in mind.”

Lu Xuan acknowledged her advice and then imbued his Spiritual Sense into the Jade Book.

After a few rounds of selection, he eventually chose three Elixir Recipes.

“Sister Guan, I have made my choice, I will try to cultivate the Yuan Cultivating Pill, the Spirit Gathering Pill, and the Beast Spirit Pill first.”

“That’s fine.”

Sister Guan gently nodded. A chosen Elixir Recipe does not have a fixed formula for cultivation, one can first experiment to find the most suitable type for oneself.

Shortly after, she picked out three jade slips from the multitude and handed them to Lu Xuan, then called over two other Core Alchemists from the Dan Palace to witness Lu Xuan’s Heart Demon Oath.

Then, she took Lu Xuan to other rooms, where he received dozens of free materials.

The Yuan Cultivating Pill was a First Grade Pill thereby affording thirty free samples, while the Spirit Gathering Pill and the Beast Spirit Pill were Second Grade, each receiving twenty free samples.

Of all the Elixirs, Lu Xuan was already at the pinnacle when it came to the Yuan Cultivating Pill and the Spirit Gathering Pill. He considered the Beast Spirit Pill because there were many Spirit Beasts in his cave, mastering it would allow him to better nurture and cultivate them.

Back in the cave, Lu Xuan took out the Jade Slips that recorded the Elixir Recipes. After some thought, he eventually decided to absorb all of them at once.

A large amount of information from the Jade Slips surged into his sea of consciousness, subsequently turning into numerous tiny fragments.

“The Spirit Gathering Pill and the Yuan Cultivating Pill are akin to learning new things from reviewing old knowledge.”

“Regrettably, after absorbing them, they do not count as Experience Packages and cannot increase my Alchemy Experience,” Lu Xuan lamented.

He took out the ingredients for refining the Yuan Cultivating Pill from the Storage Bag. His movements were like that of someone who had repeated this process countless times, adeptly processing the various ingredients.

In the room, there was a Second Grade Pill Furnace that he had gotten a long time ago. It had not been used for Alchemy in a while, its surface already coated in a thick layer of dust.

“Start the furnace! Begin the Alchemy!”

Underneath the Pill Furnace, a strand of light-blue flame rapidly spread, covering the entire furnace in the blink of an eye.

In his Spiritual Sense’s perception, the Medicinal Pangolin sneaked into the room and merged with the Pill Furnace.

Lu Xuan followed the record on the Elixir Recipe, processed the ingredients in the correct sequence and the right amount needed, and threw them into the Pill Furnace.

His Spiritual Sense carefully controlled the Heavenly Blue Pill Fire under the Pill Furnace, sensed changes of the materials in the furnace, and occasionally added various auxiliary medicinal materials.

An hour later, Lu Xuan opened his eyes. A glint flashed in his eyes, the furnace lid flew open, and six perfectly round, pure white pills flew out one after another.

Each one was flawless and of high quality.

“Barely lifting a finger and I’ve already reached the peak of Elixir making!”

Lu Xuan felt pleased with himself, feeling a sense of achievement.
