Under the guidance of Long Junhai, Ye Yiyi's alchemy skills improved rapidly. In just three days, she could refine the third-grade Hunyuan Pill on her own!
When the third-grade Hunyuan Pill appeared in the store, it was fought over by everyone. After all, it was a rare pill that could not be bought even if one had money. So it became a monopoly for a while, because no store had ever been able to sell a large number of third-grade pills. Just one day's orders were enough to keep Ye Yiyi busy for a year!
However, Ye Yiyi was not satisfied, because according to Long Junhai's standards, she had not yet refined a perfect third-grade Hunyuan Pill! She still had a long way to go and had to keep working hard!
As time goes by, Ye Yiyi's technique of refining Hunyuan Dan can be said to have reached perfection. This has a lot to do with Long Junhai's guidance. Without Long Junhai, everything would be wishful thinking. Long Junhai is also the greatest benefactor in her life!
The Alchemy Competition was approaching, but Ye Yiyi still hadn't refined a third-grade elixir that satisfied her, and many people on the market who had purchased third-grade Hunyuan Pills had already started competing in secret!
Some were happy and some were worried. Twenty percent of the third-grade Hunyuan Pills sold before had been upgraded to fourth-grade Hunyuan Pills, and thirty-one percent of the remaining Hunyuan Pills were about to be upgraded. The last half of the Hunyuan Pills were all scrapped.
As a result, Hunyuan Dan has become an even more sought-after commodity, and its price on the black market has already reached over 50,000 divine stones!
Besides luck, the pill's advancement also depends on one's own control of the heart and the quality of the pill itself, so not every time there is a normal chance of success, but as long as you advance, you can gain more than ten times the reward! The price of a fourth-grade Hunyuan Pill can reach around 100,000 divine stones, and that's the lowest price. If you really want to buy it, you'll have to spend at least double the price to buy it!
Some smart people at that time hoarded a large number of third-grade Hunyuan Pills, and then looked for others to compete in alchemy. This way, they reduced the probability of getting injured and only needed to pay others a reward. However, the rewards they received were very large. After successfully upgrading to the fourth-grade Hunyuan Pill, they would have huge gains!
Some very lucky and wealthy individuals even managed to win a fifth-grade elixir in a duel! You have to know that the odds are very low, and most people wouldn't dare, nor would they have the ability, to use a fifth-grade elixir in a duel! Even a small failure would mean a loss of hundreds of thousands of divine stones!
However, if successful, the Divine Stones obtained would be at least over a million! Moreover, more practical elixirs like the Hunyuan Pill would generally be more than three times higher than the normal price!
Of course, there are also people who are crazy about upgrading the elixir to the sixth grade, and the reward they will get at that time will be more than 50 million!
However, it is generally impossible to succeed, because the higher the level of the elixir, the smaller the chance of promotion. If the result is that both sides suffer losses, it will be a real tragedy!
There is basically no situation where both sides suffer losses for elixirs below the fifth grade, but it is hard to say for those above the fifth grade, because the levels of the two elixirs are too high, so a slight deviation will result in both sides suffering losses. Although there are sixth-grade elixirs, they are too rare. If you really want to buy them, the divine stones you spend are generally in the hundreds of millions, and seventh-grade elixirs are basically non-existent. I have only heard of such legends, but no one has ever seen them!
This year's alchemy conference has entered a white-hot stage before it even started. Many people started with fourth-grade elixirs to compete, which made those who prepared other elixirs extremely distressed.
If we follow past experience, starting from the third-grade elixir, every kind of elixir has the opportunity to advance in the elixir competition, but the current Hunyuan elixir is too strong. The quality of the same level is more than twice as good as other elixirs, and many of them are in peak condition, so many people who don’t have Hunyuan elixir dare not compete!
At this moment, Ye Yiyi finally refined a pill that satisfied her. It was the peak third-grade Hunyuan Pill. She should have some confidence in winning the alchemy competition!
"Mr. Long, do you think I can win now? This is my most satisfying work!" Ye Yiyi said excitedly.
Long Junhai smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "I think you are sure to lose now!"
"Huh? How is that possible?" Ye Yiyi asked in confusion.
"Haha, you are now in seclusion refining pills every day, but what are the actual results? Others have a lot of fourth-grade pills in their hands, and other pills are flying all over the sky. They are just short of making a sixth-grade pill king, so do you think you have a chance of winning?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"Huh? How is that possible! Fourth-grade elixirs are extremely rare! I can wait until I advance in my first alchemy competition before I can compete with those fourth-grade elixirs!" Ye Yiyi said.
"Haha, you are too out of touch with the news. Do you know that the most basic competition in the Alchemy Competition has now been upgraded to the fourth grade? And the reason for this situation is entirely because you have refined too many third-grade Hunyuan Pills before. Others bought them back and competed in pill competitions privately. Now there are a lot of fifth-grade Hunyuan Pills!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
"What! This...what should I do?" Ye Yiyi felt as if struck by lightning and felt a little dizzy.
"What should I do? I spent so much effort, but I didn't expect to lose to myself in the end!" Ye Yiyi became extremely depressed.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "Are you kidding yourself? Others can compete in pill making, so can you! Besides, others have to spend money to buy pills, but if you compete in pill making yourself, it will be very cost-effective. Forget about anything else, it's very easy to make a fifth-grade Hunyuan Pill."
"But who wants to compete with me in making pills? I can only control one pill by myself." Ye Yiyi said with a bitter face again.
"Hey, has your brain been damaged by alchemy? You have to know that alchemists are not stubborn. They must have active minds. Otherwise, it is impossible to refine the most powerful elixirs, because the most powerful elixirs are supported by imagination! Moreover, there is nothing in this world that cannot be bought with money. You can ask Uncle Fu how much his recent income is, and see how many people he can hire to help you in the alchemy competition." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Huh? Have we made a lot of money now?" Ye Yiyi has been immersed in alchemy for a while now and has not paid attention to what is happening outside, so she has no idea how many divine stones she has earned.
Ye Yiyi immediately left the room. As soon as she reached the door of the shop, she saw Uncle Fu sitting on a chair drinking tea. There was no customer in the shop. It felt as deserted as before. How could he make money in this state? So she looked at Long Junhai with great confusion, hoping that he would give her an explanation.
