532 I Offer One Million Spiritual Rocks
Han Muye liked the rules of alchemy in the Imperial City.
Perhaps because he was in the mortal market, this rule was tacky like the mortals.
But it was good to be tacky.
Talking about money would not hurt feelings.
The alchemist, who was usually high and mighty, smiled at Zuo Yuting as she led Han Muye and Mu Wan over.
After receiving 100 spiritual rocks, he even praised Zuo Yuting for not forgetting to be grateful and secretly stuffed a spiritual rock into her hand.
This made Zuo Yuting very embarrassed.
Daoist Changyun looked to be in his fifties, but he was actually more than 300 years old. Perhaps he cultivated the Dao of alchemy and his cultivation was already at the Earth Realm Spirit Enlightenment, but his aura did not look solid.
This was a common problem for cultivators in the Imperial City.
After not experiencing battles for a long time, many cultivators only cultivated without killing intent.
There were 12 to 13 people who came to observe the alchemy today. They were divided into six batches, which cost 600 spiritual rocks.
How should one put it? 600 spiritual rocks were nothing to a cauldron of eighth-grade pills.
After all, this cauldron of pills could earn thousands of spiritual rocks.
But firstly, the more the merrier. Secondly, this was a custom formed by the alchemy mills in the Imperial City.
Learning from each other.
The people who came to observe today looked to be about the same age as Han Muye and the others. A few of them even wore round pale golden badges on their chests.
This was an alchemist badge issued by the Alchemy Division. It meant that one already had the qualifications to be an alchemist.
Since one had just become an alchemist and one’s alchemy cultivation was still inadequate, one’s wealth was not considered surplus. Spending some spiritual rocks to observe the refinement of pills was considered a good learning method.
After all, refining a cauldron of eighth-grade pills cost hundreds or thousands of spiritual rocks.
Daoist Changyun sat cross-legged 10 feet away. In front of him was a black cauldron with faint red flames surrounding it.
Beside him, there were a few young men with solemn expressions. They were arranging the spiritual herbs while paying attention to the fire.
These people were the direct disciples of the Changyun Pill Room and could receive Daoist Changyun’s detailed explanation of the principles of the Pill Dao.
This was Zuo Yuting’s first time witnessing Daoist Changyun refine pills at such a close distance.
She only had this opportunity because Han Muye and Mu Wan had come.
Throughout the entire process, no one made a sound. They just watched as Daoist Changyun controlled the furnace fire and continuously threw in spiritual herbs. Finally, the pills were formed and collected.
There were two completed pills, one high-quality and one ordinary.
Daoist Changyun handed the ordinary-grade one to a young man beside him and put it away.
After putting away the pills, Daoist Changyun looked at the onlookers.
“Everyone, did you gain anything?”
Upon hearing his words, a young man in a green robe with a badge on his chest cupped his hands and said, “To answer a long question, when Daoist Guan was refining pills just now, I had some comprehension of the medicinal properties of the Xinran Grass and was prepared to go back and experiment.”
“Yes, the Xinran Grass is used to neutralize the medicinal power. It’s more important to put it in at the right time.” Daoist Changyun gave a pointer, but he only said half of it. As for the timing, it was either you comprehend it yourself or pay more for the information.
“Daoist, I want to ask about the specific use of the Leaping Forest Wood Root in this pill formula.” A female cultivator wearing a short robe with many pockets on her body took out a spiritual rock.
Top-grade spiritual rocks were worth 10,000 low-grade ones.
One question, 10,000 spiritual rocks.
As expected, knowledge that was paid for was precious.
10,000 spiritual rocks had already exceeded the value of this cauldron of medicinal pills.
Daoist Changyun waved his hand and the disciple beside him took the spiritual rock.
He raised his hand and a jade slip flew out.
This kind of jade slip had a restriction. It could only be probed with one spiritual sense, and other spiritual senses would be destroyed.
In fact, if this female cultivator really wanted to spread the contents of this jade slip, there were many ways.
However, for alchemy cultivators, their own comprehension was the most important. Selling other people’s knowledge to earn spiritual rocks was ultimately an evil path.
Most cultivators would integrate other people’s knowledge into their own cultivation.
Some of the other alchemists also asked questions, while others talked about what they had obtained.
In Han Muye’s opinion, this process was more like helping Daoist Changyun summarize the gains and losses of alchemy.
This was because from his observation, Daoist Changyun was not very proficient in refining this batch of Snow Blossom Pills. There were many flaws in the process.
“Yuting, how is it? Did you gain anything?” Mu Wan turned to look at the excited Zuo Yuting.
Zuo Yuting nodded repeatedly, “I, I think I understand something, it’s…”
Her face flushed red, but she could not say what she understood.
“The Jade Resin Pill is a popular pill among eighth-grade pills. From the ratio of the spiritual herbs used, this pill can increase the fusion of bloodline power.
“Of course, the fusion of the bloodline depends on the compatibility of the spiritual energy and cultivation. It’s still useful for those below the Earth Realm.”
Mu Wan saw Zuo Yuting’s embarrassment and smiled softly.
This knowledge was not difficult, but it required someone to teach it.
For the learners listening in, no one would ever tell them this.
“This pill uses Phoenix Feather Grass as the main ingredient. When refining the pill, you need to use gentle heat to refine the medicinal power of the spiritual herb. Then you need to use the Fengyuan Grass and the Ironwood branches to neutralize the medicinal power. Therefore, when you mixed the medicinal liquid, you specially increased the fire power.”
Mu Wan’s words made the surrounding young alchemists nod, their faces revealing enlightenment.
Although it was just a few sentences, she had explained the medicinal theory of refining this pill.
Zuo Yuting nodded excitedly.
On the other side, Daoist Changyun looked up at Mu Wan with a curious expression.
At such a young age, she could directly see through the ratio of medicinal strength in his pill refinement process. It was really rare.
Although the Jade Resin Pill’s recipe was common, everyone had different methods of refining it, and there were always some differences.
