The elixir was redistributed into four pills of top quality, two pills of medium quality, and nine pills of low quality. The rest turned into charred pills and could not be consumed.

"Congeal!"

Realizing that it was almost time, Shen Lian blew through his mouth, and the red fish flame surrounding the alchemy furnace suddenly rose up. The scorching flame quickly condensed the medicine liquid in the furnace.

The rule in the alchemy world is that if something goes wrong, there will be no compensation.

After refining the medicine, you will be rewarded, and the remaining herbs will be given to the alchemist.

This time, the eldest elder of the Xu family asked him to make an elixir and prepared two sets of medicinal materials in total, the cost alone was worth 10,000 spirit stones.

As an alchemist with a conscience, Shen Lian just wanted to get the medicinal materials worth 5,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Sensing the state of the elixir condensing in the furnace, he nodded with satisfaction.

Keep the four best quality ones for yourself.

Two of medium quality and nine of lower quality were given to the Xu family.

There were ten charred and inferior pills left, which he showed to the Xu family. He did not waste the herbs sent to him. He opened the furnace twice and condensed a total of twenty-one pills, using both batches of herbs.

Shen Lian asked himself if he had enough conscience.

With these eleven pills, the Xu family not only made no loss from the two packages of medicinal materials they brought, but also made a profit.

After putting the pills into the jade bottle, Shen Lian glanced at the pills in the bottle and poured out one of inferior quality.

An ordinary Qi-replenishing Sanbao Pill is worth about 1,200 spirit stones, but the quantity of this kind of pill in the market and the Immortal City is very small, and even if you have spirit stones, you may not be able to collect eleven at once.

Besides, according to the circulating price in the market, ten thousand spirit stones can't buy eleven Qi-replenishing Sanbao Pills, let alone two of medium quality.

"well."

Then, he sighed again, put the inferior quality pill back, and took out a medium quality pill and put it away for himself.

Two portions of medicinal materials, opened the furnace twice, condensed twenty pills, ten pills were successful, one was hit, nine were failed, and ten were wasted pills.

After putting the pills away, Shen Lian did not leave the cave in a hurry. He waited for another day before opening the cave and inviting the three people from the Xu family in.

Xu Chaoling and two family members were swept by the heat wave as soon as they entered the cave.

"Master Lu."

Xu Chaoling looked at Shen Lian, who had a tired look on his face, and bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is the Qi-boosting Sanbao Pill that I refined."

After Shen Lian asked everyone to sit down, he took out three jade bottles and placed them in front of Xu Chaoling.

"please."

Xu Chaoling glanced at the three jade bottles, but did not use his spiritual sense to examine them. Instead, he picked them up one by one and examined them.

"Master Lu Dan's skills are superb. He really gave me a big surprise."

After checking the pills, Xu Chaoling couldn't help but smile.

One is of medium quality and nine are of lower quality.

The success rate of pills was higher than he had imagined. He had originally expected that seven or eight pills would be enough.

Unexpectedly, not only did the number reach ten, but there was also one that was of medium quality.

The last time I asked the Xuanshi Sect's alchemist, he was able to produce only eight pills, and none of them were of average quality.

Master Lu Dan, very particular.

Not only the finished pills were given to him, but also the waste pills after refining were given to him.

Tell those who seek the elixir clearly that there is no fraud in refining the elixir.

That’s great.

"Master Lu, this is the reward for refining the elixir."

Xu Chaoling put away the pill with a wave of his hand, then took out a jade box from the storage magic tool and handed it to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian didn't open it and put the jade box on the table.

It fully demonstrates the style of Master Gao Yi.

"I'll bother you again in the future, I hope Master Lu Dan won't find it annoying."

"No way."

Shen Lian smiled and responded, "If you need to make pills in the future, feel free to contact me, Lu. If Fellow Daoist Xu has friends who make pills, you can also communicate with them."

After some greetings, Xu Chaoling and his clansmen left the cave.

"Great Elder, why did you give away the three-leaf water ganoderma? It's worth five thousand spirit stones."

After the Xu family members left the city and summoned a spirit boat, they rushed into the ocean. Only then did the cultivator from the Xu family dare to ask in a low voice.

…

After sending the people away, Shen Lian calmly returned to the cave and reopened the formation.

Inside the cave, the Five Elements Spirit Puppet had already crawled out from underground and opened the jade box to inspect it.

There was nothing inside the jade box except for a water Ganoderma lucidum with a blue glow and three complete leaves. Its medicinal properties were about three hundred years old and it was considered a mid-level second-grade product, priced at five or six thousand spirit stones.

The eldest elder of the Xu family is also a particular person.

The first time I helped someone make elixir.

It took a day and a half to make a net profit of nearly 10,000 spirit stones from medicinal materials, plus the four-high and one-medium quality pills that he had stolen, which could be sold for at least 7,000 spirit stones.

This is just a bird feather happy pill.

Wouldn’t it be good to be a serious alchemist?

Ten Qi-replenishing Sanbao pills are Shen Lian's signature product.

In the circle that Qian Dai had won over, with the example of the Xu family's eldest elder, Shen Lian received a new order just half a month later.

This time it was the Zhao family on Ziya Island, and the person who came was Zhao Siyun, who went monster hunting with Shen Lian last time.

What the Zhao family wanted to refine was the Spirit Gathering Pill for cultivation, so they brought a total of five ingredients, and Shen Lian kept two of them.

Using the remaining three materials and three spirit potatoes, the furnace was opened three times and a total of forty-seven spirit-gathering pills were refined, and thirty-eight pills were successful.

Nine burnt and waste pills.

He kept nine of the best quality ones for himself.

Four pills of medium quality, twenty-five pills of low quality, and twenty-nine pills delivered to those who seek the pills.

The second time he made pills for someone, Shen Lian also noticed the shortcomings of the first time.

When refining this kind of commonly used elixir, the total price of the finished pills must be greater than the price of the medicinal materials.

Otherwise, why would people ask him to refine the pills? Wouldn't they just use the spirit stones to buy the pills?

Not to mention, if you perform well, you will be rewarded.

If hiring someone to make the elixir will result in a loss than buying it directly, why bother?

If you can't even make back the costs, who would be willing to pay you? They will definitely not come to you to make pills next time.

In addition, a few medium-quality ones should be mixed in.

This is just a gimmick. People who ask him to make elixirs are looking for this.

For example, the total price of the number of pills produced by the Zhao family this time was nearly 3,000 spirit stones higher than the cost of materials.

Before leaving, Zhao Siyun left two thousand spirit stones as a reward.

What Shen Lian didn't expect was that Zhao Siyun came again a month later.

This time, he took out ten sets of materials for the Spirit Gathering Pill.

He understood after a little thought that the man surnamed Zhao was not honest and was using him as experience.

Maybe he sold the twenty or so inferior spirit-gathering pills he refined last time, and used them to make medium-quality pills.

Shen Lian noticed Zhao Siyun's thoughts, but did not show it and took away six copies of the materials on the spot.

Isn't it just shameless? Who can be more shameless than him?

If we want to cooperate, we must find a cultivator with strong strength and powerful backing. What is Zhao Siyun?

After only refining the pill three times, Shen Lian found that this was not much faster than collecting the herbs himself.

…

Years pass and time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three years later.

Yuanyan Fairy City.

In the blessed cave.

"Is Master Lu here? I am Qian Mingzhang, the manager of Fenglei Pavilion, and I am here to deliver spiritual objects to Master Lu."

Amidst the clouds and mist, the formation of the cave opened, and Qian Mingzhang walked into the cave holding a wooden box in his hand.

"Master Lu."

"Manager Qian, long time no see."

"I am a busy person, how can I be as relaxed as Master Lu?"

Qian Mingzhang put the wooden box down and said, "Master Lu, this is what you need."

After Shen Lian opened it, he saw the stones inside. There were faint traces of lines on each stone. They were the Xuanming stones that could be used to refine weapons and set up formations.

The more he cooperated with Qian Dai, the more he felt that Qian Dai was unfathomable and could get any kind of spiritual object.

Shen Lian has been in Yuanyan Immortal City for more than three years since he first started refining the elixir.

But not many people know his name.

Those who came to him to make elixirs were all foundation-building cultivators and families in Qian Dai's network of relationships.

The most commonly refined pills are the Soul Gathering Pill, the True Essence Pill, and the Hui Yuan Pill.

It was not until later that Shen Lian figured out that after these family cultivators took the medium-quality Spirit Gathering Pills back home, they would not take them during their normal cultivation, but would take them out when they were about to break through.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

So after opening the furnace again and again, Master Lu's alchemy skills improved.

The number of medium-quality pills in each furnace of pills refined has increased from one or two to three, and sometimes four.

Of course, when the pills are produced, there will sometimes be one or two less pills of lower quality.

After Qian Mingzhang left his things, he left without staying for long.

Shen Lian checked the Xuanming Stone and put it away.

In addition to obtaining some spiritual objects through Qian Dai's connections, he would also change his appearance and aura every month to purchase spiritual objects in Yuanyan Immortal City or participate in auctions.

With the generous support of the foundation-building families and cultivators in the nearby sea areas, as well as transactions with Qian Dai, Shen Lian accumulated more than 100,000 spirit stones in addition to purchasing spiritual objects.

He also kept more than 300,000 spirit stones of medicinal materials against his conscience. Overall, he withheld roughly half of the medicinal materials.

Of course, there have been some problems in the past three years.

For example, the accidental explosion of the alchemy furnace, which he directed and acted out himself, occurred twice.

Slowly walking to the spirit beast room in the cave, a spirit water pool stood in the center of the spirit beast room. There was a black spiritual light flickering outside the pool, and one could also see the five-colored spiritual patterns faintly visible in the spiritual light.

As a beastmaster, alchemist, formation master, and talisman master, the five-colored spiritual light formation in front of him, which was flashing black and overflowing with colorful colors, plus the pool inside the formation, was the culmination of Shen Lian's work.

In the pool, Sanqian was sleeping, his body covered in black water. A demon pill covered with tiny holes was suspended above Sanqian's head.

The violent aura within the demon pill is more than half weaker than that of a normal demon pill.

In order to help Sanqian advance, Shen Lian used his perception points to upgrade his beast taming inheritance to the second-level lower grade, arranging a suitable path for Sanqian to advance.

Inside the pool was a set of beast spirit medicine powder that could stimulate the dragon bloodline, which cost more than 10,000 spirit stones to prepare.

In addition, a spirit gathering array was constructed outside the pool, allowing Sanqian to absorb spiritual power and demonic power to the greatest extent.

Not to mention, there is also a second-level early stage demon pill.

The lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans, and the corresponding larval period of monsters is several times that of humans. In order to better absorb the medicinal power, Sanqian fell into a deep sleep, so as to digest the medicinal power faster and shorten the time of promotion.

This type of training through sleeping is almost unique to the demon race, and other races cannot learn it.

Why are some monsters able to quickly pass through their infancy after being tamed by humans and become spirit beasts? It is because they rely on taking various spiritual medicines and sleeping.

Shen Lian was not in a hurry to let Sanqian advance quickly. The energy in this demon pill was mainly used to awaken Sanqian's bloodline.

"Master, when will Sanqian advance?"

Seeing that his little brother was about to advance, Dahei felt a little uncomfortable. Every day, apart from going out on guard, he would return to the spirit beast room and quietly look at the spirit pool.

Shen Lian patted Dahei's head gently, looked at Dahei's appearance, and explained: "Although the three thousand dragon blood is extremely rare, it is much stronger than the mountain-moving ant blood in your body."

"Three Thousands of Advanced Levels is also for the purpose of making an experiment to see if there are any loopholes in the advanced formula tailored for Three Thousands of Levels. This way, it will be safer when used on you."

Dahei lowered his head and looked unhappy.

It thought of the time when its master grabbed it and stuffed pills into its mouth.

Although my body was torn apart by the pill and I was in great pain at that time, I was very happy.

"Well, the safety of the master's cave depends entirely on you."

Grabbing the two big pincers of Dahei and placing them in front of him, Shen Lian shook its body fiercely.

As soon as these words came out, the big black eyes lit up again.

After giving Dahei psychological counseling, Shen Lian went to the talisman-making room. Over the past three years, he had no shortage of resources, and he had already drawn twenty No. 2 Tianyan jade talismans and one thousand six hundred No. 3 Tianyan jade talismans.

Since there were cultivators coming to refine pills every month, in order to earn spirit stones, he did not find the right time to cultivate Jade Talisman No. 2.

Shen Lian was also thinking about leaving Yuanyan Immortal City and finding a place to cultivate these Tianyan Jade Talismans.

…

South China Sea.

On a desolate and lonely island in the vast ocean.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, startling the seabirds nesting on the beach.

"ha…"

"Qi Yuhuan, this stinky woman, wants to kill this ancestor, you are almost there."

His robe was torn, covered in blood and scabs, and his long hair was stuck together, but Bian Qingyun's eyes were bright.

After hiding on an isolated island for more than ten years of recuperation, he finally suppressed the broken golden elixir. However, without a panacea, he still could not use the elixir's power excessively.

At best, you can only fight with others at a low intensity.

"First, go find a place with people to ask about Master's condition, and then go look for the elixir."

After saying that, Bian Qingyun dived into the vast ocean. When he came out again, he was wearing a new robe, and his aura had dropped to about the ninth level of foundation building.

A few days later, on a passing treasure ship.

Bian Qingyun looked gloomy.

In front of Bian Qingyun lay a foundation-building cultivator with his body convulsing and twisted. He wanted to speak in fear, but no words came out.

“Wuwuwu…”

"Master, oh master, you really asked for a hammer and got it."

"Still showing off, you only have your Nascent Soul left."

Bian Qingyun's expression changed, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

That five-element spiritual object is in the Wanxing Sea south of the South China Sea.

I have been busy running and hiding these years, and the distance is quite far, so I cannot contact the soul-borrowing insect.

Now old man Ziyang only has his Nascent Soul left. Can he find the five elements spiritual object and run away?
