"Well, the Alchemy Hall, like Lingyu Hall and Yingxin Pavilion, is also one of the independent halls outside the three major pavilions. Almost all the alchemists from our North Island are gathered there, specifically responsible for refining elixirs for the disciples of the three major pavilions. . Ever since I learned how to search quickly, my mother no longer has to worry about me not being able to catch up with the fastest updates." Senior Brother Kubi paused and added: "It is said that the salary there is much higher than other places. Since you, Junior Brother Lin, are Alchemist, you may be able to join if you have the opportunity in the future. It is the only place where the three major pavilions do not interfere. It is managed by the Dan Pavilion in Zhongdao! It was founded by Master Zhang Liju back then. Even now, Master Zhang Liju is the main pavilion of the Dan Pavilion. Lord! The status of the alchemists in the Alchemy Hall is high. Of course, many alchemists have been bribed by the three major pavilions in private, but it is also a cooperative relationship. Even if Xu Lingchong wants to mess with you, it is basically very difficult and there is no benefit to those. It’s hard for an alchemist to work hard for him!”
"Oh? So, after joining the Dan Hall, you can go to the Dan Pavilion to meet Master Zhang Liju?" Lin Yi's heart moved slightly.
"How is that possible? Although nominally under the management of the Alchemy Hall, the alchemists are all natives of the North Island, and only the Alchemy Hall master level can go to the Alchemy Pavilion when going to Zhongdao to pay the harvest and retrieve materials. , but it’s only a few days’ work, and I have to come back soon. How can I see Master Zhang Liju? Is it so easy to see him?” Senior Brother Kubi shook his head.
"That's it... Let's talk about this later." Lin Yi shook his head noncommittally!
Although he can make alchemy, he mainly relies on the Shen Nong Medicine Cauldron modified by Han Jingjing. He is not a pure alchemist. What's more, his main task now is to go to Zhongdao to find Zhang Liju, if he joins the alchemy hall. Unless you are promoted to Pavilion Master, it will probably be difficult to get the mission to Zhongdao, right?
Even the Pavilion Master. It doesn't make much sense to go and come back soon. Besides, Lin Yi doesn't want the secret of alchemy to be discovered. After all, if this medicine cauldron is known to others, it will cause endless trouble!
Putting aside this thought, Lin Yi turned to ask: "Brother Ku, you just said that it would cost a lot to make alchemy in the alchemy hall?"
"Of course, it's not easy for the people in the Alchemy Hall to make an elixir!" Senior Brother Kubi said with lingering fear: "According to the regulations of the Alchemy Hall, to refine any kind of elixir, we need to provide two materials, and we must turn in a certain amount. The expensive spiritual jade, if it is an unpopular elixir, I have to find a way to provide the elixir myself. Although the foundation-building barrier-breaking elixir I need now is not an unpopular elixir, in addition to providing two materials, I have to turn in additional materials. Two hundred spiritual jade. Junior brother Lin, do you think this price is high?"
"You want two hundred spiritual jade? This price is indeed a bit exaggerated!" Although Lin Yi had known that the alchemist profession was a huge profit, the exaggeration still made him a bit stunned.
The combined value of the two medicinal materials is only a dozen pieces of spiritual jade. As long as you spend a little more effort, you can still collect it. This is still within the scope of normal cultivators. But the extra two hundred spirit jade is an exaggeration. A low-level manager like Senior Brother Kubi would not be able to save so many spirit jade in ten years!
"It is worth paying such a high price if they can guarantee the success rate. After all, the price of the Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pill sold in the market is four hundred spirit jade. If this price can be exchanged for a Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pill, Dana is quite profitable."
Brother Kubi gave a bitter smile and continued: "But the problem is. Dantang does not guarantee the success rate at all! If you can refine two pieces from these two materials, then you can only get one of them! If you only refine If one succeeds, even if your ancestral grave is covered in smoke, this one will be given to you! But if all fail, well, all the medicinal materials collected before and the two hundred spiritual jades turned in will be wasted. One point I won’t give it back to you!”
"Then doesn't this become a huge gamble? This Dantang is really dark!" Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Spending four hundred spiritual jade, you can directly buy a foundation-building barrier-breaking pill in the market. If you go to the Dantang to refine it, you will be provided with two medicinal materials and two hundred spiritual jade. In this case, there is a certain chance of getting it. A Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pill may, of course, cost you everything.
For an ordinary cultivator like Senior Brother Kubi, this is simply a huge gamble that involves all his wealth and life!
As far as Lin Yi knows, for the vast majority of alchemists, the higher the grade of the elixir, the lower the elixir yield rate. In other words, the possibility of refining a fourth-grade elixir such as Foundation Building and Barrier-Breaking Pill to fail is far away. Greater than the likelihood of success!
If the hard-pressed senior brother really bites the bullet and saves two hundred spiritual jade to find the Alchemy Hall, there is at least a 60% chance that he will lose all his money!
Of course, if you use two materials, your chances of success will be higher, but you will also be taking a big risk!
This was the reason why he was so excited and impatient just now. After all, he asked Lin Yi to help him make alchemy. Even if the success rate was lower than that of the alchemists in the alchemy hall, it didn't matter. After all, he only needed to provide the medicinal materials. Compared with At the high price of two hundred spirit jade, such a small loss is simply negligible.
Those spiritual jade Lin Yi just gave him can buy five more materials, so what is there to worry about?
"Junior brother Lin, I'll leave the elixir refining to you, but don't put any pressure on me. It's natural to be able to make an elixir, but it doesn't matter if you fail. It doesn't take much effort to collect these medicinal materials." Senior Brother Kubi said sincerely.
Lin Yi nodded: "Brother Ku, don't worry, I have confidence."
Seeing Lin Yi's expression, Senior Brother Kubi still felt that Junior Brother Lin was a bit blindly confident, but he still did not dare to undermine his confidence. He could only say: "Then when are you going to make elixirs? I will find a way to give them to you at Lingyu Hall." Please take a few days off."
Even a layman like Brother Kubi knows that refining alchemy has always been extremely labor-intensive and physically demanding, especially refining high-grade elixirs, which may take several days. If Lin Yi had been doing it every day before refining elixirs, If you go to a mining area to mine without recharging your energy, problems are likely to occur in the process.
The failure of alchemy was relatively minor, but Lin Yi himself might have been injured. After all, there were not just one or two alchemists who died in the furnace explosion. The risks involved can be imagined.
"I'll prepare to start tonight. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to see what happens. Brother Ku, if you don't see me coming out, please ask for a day off for me." Lin Yi smiled. In fact, he expected that the results would be available in one night, but After all, he had never refined a foundation-building barrier-breaking pill before, and he didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't dare to tell the truth.
