Lin Jing soon came to his senses, and said to Elder Yu:
“Elder Yu, please stop joking with me. This Pill Furnace is a Magical Treasure; I can’t afford it.”
Elder Yu’s mouth quirked up as he said, “Who said I was selling it to you? This is a gift for you.”
“Ah…?”
“A gift for me?”
Lin Jing was dumbfounded and then said:
“This Pill Furnace isn’t cheap at all, how can you just give it to me? How would you explain this to Yuebaolou?”
After speaking, Lin Jing waved his hand: “Forget it, forget it, keep the Pill
Furnace for yourself. I’ll just buy one that’s good enough.”
Elder Yu pursed his lips and said, “This Pill Furnace isn’t Yuebaolou’s; it’s my own.”
“It’s your own Pill Furnace?” Lin Jing asked, surprised.
“Yes,” replied Elder Yu matter-of-factly.
“If you give me this Elixir Furnace, what will you do?” Lin Jing asked.
Elder Yu said with a smile:
“It’s just that a few days ago, a descendant of a Golden Core Cultivator came to me with a severe poison, seeking a Detoxification Elixir. So I went.”
“I was lucky that day, and I actually managed to refine a Pure Detoxification Elixir on the spot, saving that person’s life.”
“Pure Elixir Medicine!” Lin Jing exclaimed.
“Just luck, young man. No need to be so surprised.” Elder Yu smiled, his eyes crinkling with pride.
He was obviously very pleased with himself.
“And to thank me, that Golden Core Cultivator, in addition to the deserved reward, also gave me an Elixir Furnace. That Elixir Furnace is much better than this one.”
“But, with that Elixir Furnace, I should be able to increase my success rate in refining Third Rank Elixirs significantly, so I accepted it.” “Golden Core Cultivator, descendant poisoned…”
Lin Jing pondered quietly to himself.
“Could it be that person…”
Lin Jing leaned in closer, and asked quietly, “May I know who the person you saved is, Elder Yu?”
“Of course, if it’s not convenient to say so, nevermind. I’m just rather curious.” “There’s really nothing inconvenient about it.” Elder Yu began. “It’s the descendant of Wu Cai Immortal, seems to be called Liu Yiyuan.”
Lin Jing’s thoughts raced.
Cåi…”
“Liu Yiyuan…”
“That’s right, the Magical Treasure of that Golden Core Cultivator that day was colored in five hues, and before the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was poisoned, he indeed yelled out ‘Yiyuan, be careful’.”
“It was indeed them…”
“That Foundation Establishment Cultivator called Liu Yiyuan actually made it out alive, he’s really lucky.”
“It seems I need to be extra cautious from now on, keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid encountering him.”
While Lin Jing was deep in thought, Elder Yu suddenly asked a question, interrupting his contemplation.
“What are you thinking about now?”
“Elder Yu, you just said you could refine Third Rank Elixirs. Could it be that you are a Third Rank Pill Master?”
“I’ve only just realized it now,” Lin Jing replied, explaining.
“That’s right,” said Elder Yu, his lips curling up proudly.
“Otherwise, how could I guarantee that you would become an Offering Priest for Yuebaolou?”
After he spoke, Elder Yu handed the Pill Furnace to Lin Jing.
“All right, stop beating around the bush and take the Pill Furnace,” he said.
Lin Jing received the Pill Furnace, smiling, and said:
“Alright, since Elder Yu, you’ve said so, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
“Young man, I have a requirement for giving you the Pill Furnace,” Elder Yu said with a teasing smile.
“Please speak, Elder Yu,” Lin Jing said earnestly.
“That is, you need to refine a Supreme Elixir as soon as possible and join
Yuebaolou as an Offering Pill Master. I am looking forward to it.” “Alright, Elder Yu, rest assured.”
After returning home, Lin Jing took out the Pill Furnace and began the refinement process.
As Lin Jing’s cultivation was not high, refining this Magic Artifact Pill Furnace was no easy task.
After several days of continuous refining effort, Lin Jing finally succeeded in refining it and fully mastered the Pill Furnace.
Following the successful refinement, Lin Jing was extremely excited and could hardly wait to enter the System Space to attempt alchemy again.
However, after several days of non-stop refinement, he was actually in a very poor condition and needed to rest and adjust his state.
So, Lin Jing eventually held back.
Not until the next day.
With his condition restored and full of energy, Lin Jing entered the System Space.
Arriving at the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing took out the Pill Furnace.
Then, with a thought, the Pill Furnace slowly grew in size.
He stopped once it became slightly larger than the previous Three-legged Copper Furnace he had used, thinking this size was just right.
Next, Lin Jing took out a set of materials for the Gathering Yuan Pill from the Storage Bag. He had made the Gathering Yuan Pill last time and planned to start from it this time as well.
After all, with the experience from last time, it should be a bit easier this time around.
Lin Jing first processed the materials and then lit the fire. When the timing was almost right, he put the materials into the Pill Furnace one by one.
Finally, he sealed the furnace.
After sealing the furnace, he carefully controlled the flames while his Divine Sense observed the movements inside the Pill Furnace.
He was cautious and dared not be careless.
As time passed little by little, Lin Jing focused intently on the Pill Furnace.
This time, he seemed much more at ease than before, most notably because the fine beads of sweat that had previously appeared on his forehead were now absent.
Soon, the fragrance of the Elixir Medicine began to diffuse, signaling the final steps of the alchemy process.
Lin Jing perked up, keeping a close watch on the Pill Furnace and carefully controlling the flame. He had failed at this point last time, and he absolutely could not allow the same situation to happen again.
“Ding”
“System notification: Congratulations to the host for successfully crafting a
Second Rank Elixir Medicine for the first time, reward: 20 Harvest Points.” “Elixir Medicine refinement successful, Alchemy proficiency +16.”
“Success!”
Lin Jing let out a breath and then smiled knowingly.
He then opened the Pill Furnace and took out the Elixir Medicines.
One Superior grade, two Medium grade, and one Low Grade – for the first successful refinement, the quality was already quite impressive.
Afterward, Lin Jing stored away the Elixir Medicines.
The energy spent in crafting Second Rank Elixir Medicines was not comparable to that of first-rate ones. Following this, he did not have the energy to continue crafting a second batch.
After putting away the Pill Furnace, Lin Jing left the System Space.
Once out of the System Space, Lin Jing immediately sat cross-legged and started restoring his energy.
After an indeterminate length of time, Lin Jing awoke.
By then, he felt that his condition had fully recovered and he could engage in Alchemy once more.
Lin Jing opened his eyes and turned to look out the window; it was already broad daylight outside.
Lin Jing frowned, thinking to himself:
“Has it already been that long?”
He then began to calculate, and his calculation was significant.
It had taken Lin Jing three six-hour cycles to restore his state.
In other words, after refining a batch of Elixir Medicine, if he wanted to refine a second batch, he would need another six hours.
Lin Jing lay on the bed, frowning in thought.
“The refinement of Second Rank Elixir Medicine generally takes one cycle to refine a batch, which is two hours.”
“And the entry time for the System Space is now 4 hours per day. With a different flow of time in the System Space, that doubles to 8 hours.” After crafting one batch, he would also need to rest for three cycles, which is six hours. By that calculation, if he did nothing but alchemy every day, he could at most refine three batches of Second Rank Elixir Medicine.
“This won’t do, is there really no solution?”
