Luo Chen's confidence came from the Four Symbols Cauldron.
But it’s not just the Four Elephant Cauldron!
On the attribute panel, the proficiency of Chalcedony Pill has reached the perfect level without even realizing it!
After careful calculation, this progress is actually not very fast.
Several months have passed since the refining of the Chalcedony Pill began.
Whether it is manpower or alchemy materials, Poshan Gang is fully supplying them.
If he hadn't considered hiding his true alchemy level, his proficiency in Chalcedony Pill might have reached the master level.
With perfect level of proficiency, the stable elixir formation rate is 40%, and the elixirs produced are all of middle grade.
Under Luo Chen's deliberate control, he could also reveal half of the mid-grade elixir rate.
He could just use the extra middle-grade chalcedony pills to meet his daily mana consumption.
At noon, Mi Junping came to the alchemy hall in person as expected.
She stared at Luo Chen, trying to find some facial features similar to hers or Mi Shuhua's.
In the end, he gave up the idea that Luo Chen was Mi Shuhua's illegitimate son.
However, the treatment of four bottles of Chenchen Dan plus a box of calming incense every month really made her feel distressed!
She, the biological daughter of a foundation-building monk, has never been treated like this.
Luo Chen ignored her dark thoughts. After resting, he started the alchemy mode again in the afternoon.
He still needs to master the Four Symbol Cauldron, so he didn't let anyone else help him today.
The success rate in the afternoon was not high. From the four raw materials in the cauldron, only twenty chalcedony pills were produced, and the rest were all waste beads.
Luo Chen secretly collected ten of them, and asked the alchemist to collect the others.
If Mi Shuhua knew about Luo Chen's actions of enriching his own pockets, he would probably sacrifice the Purple Gold Wheel of the Sky and the Moon and give him a severe blow.
…
Late at night, a figure walked along the mine tunnel and descended deep underground.
clang!
The low-grade Alchemy Furnace Ziyun Copper Stove fell into the Lingmai Cave, and Luo Chen successively took out some high-quality firewood stolen from the Alchemy Hall.
Start a fire and boil the Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid.
Looking at the blazing fire, Luo Chen subconsciously touched his chest.
A full month has passed since breaking through the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The wounds on his meridians were all healed with the help of the bottle of meridian-replenishing liquid.
Not only that, but maybe it was a blessing in disguise, he noticed that his meridians were stronger and wider than before.
Even if he endured the huge torrent of spiritual power from his previous breakthrough again, he felt that he would not feel any pressure.
This is a good thing!
The tougher the meridians are, the more pills can be refined.
Even if it cannot be absorbed, it can be temporarily stored in wider meridians than before.
It is precisely because of this that he spends a lot of money on the middle-grade chalcedony pill.
"Perhaps we shouldn't be greedy for too many middle-grade chalcedony pills?"
Luo Chen thought about drug resistance.
"Eat less low-grade and medium-grade chalcedony pills, be patient for a few more days, and then secretly refine the high-grade chalcedony pills for your own cultivation. Maybe this will be better?"
Thinking of these things, the Peiyuan Spiritual Liquid was brewed unconsciously.
Take off your clothes and step inside barefoot.
Braised myself in an iron pot again!
Enter, take medicinal bath.
After absorbing enough medicinal power and feeling that the qi and blood in his body were extremely strong, Luo Chen took out another incense burner.
"Is this a birthday gift from that boy from Tangquan?"
"He is quite sensible. Maybe we can consider letting him take over the refining of some Zhongmiao Pills in the future?"
Smile slightly and light a piece of soothing incense.
Facing the scorching heat, Luo Chen swallowed a dust-transforming pill and performed Changchun Gong, his mind as calm as the abyss of a cold pool.
In this situation of concentrating on practicing, one night passed by in the blink of an eye.
Opening his eyes, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.
At the sixth level of qi refining, take two qi-nourishing pills a day, plus a portion of cultivating spirit liquid, a few low-grade chalcedony pills, and finally seven rounds of Changchun Gong with the blessing of Anshen Incense.
In this spiritual vein cave, one practice can increase two progress bars.
Now, he is at the seventh level of Qi refining!
The Qi-nourishing pill was replaced with a dust-transforming pill that had twice the effect, and the number was still two.
A portion of the Spiritual Liquid of Peiyuan, the low-grade chalcedony pill was replaced by a medium-grade one, and the Changchun Kung still worked seven times.
It can be said that Luo Chen has tried his best to improve his cultivation resource allocation.
But one night passed.
His progress bar just jumped from [1/100] to [2/100].
"Obviously resources have almost doubled, but efficiency has doubled."
"Does this mean that the higher the realm, the longer it takes to practice?"
Luo Chen sighed with emotion, but he was not frustrated at all.
In fact, he had already expected it, and he had even thought about the possibility that the eighth and ninth levels of Qi refining would become increasingly difficult.
It's a very simple truth. If it is not difficult to practice in the later stage of Qi refining, then there will not be only a few hundred people in Dahefang out of the tens of thousands of casual cultivators.
And most of these hundreds of people are trapped in the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Normally, even if you look up, you can see Sikong Shoujia and Qin Liangchen, who are at the ninth level of Qi refining.
But they can no longer be considered ordinary cultivators.
Each one of them has a title, position, and even property in the Poshan Gang.
On the contrary, the monks in the Medicine Hall and the internal monks in the Alchemy Hall are the representatives who can reflect the average level of Dahefang.
After leaving the Spirit Vein Cave, Luo Chen piled stones to cover up the traces as usual.
Arriving at the center of the mine tunnel and about to go up, Luo Chen suddenly thought of a question.
"What if something happens and I get stuck down there?"
Looking around, Luo Chen remembered that there were only a few mine tunnel exits, all leading to the center of Xianyue Valley.
If something happens to Alchemy Hall, Xieyue Valley will definitely not be able to stay.
His eyes fell on the three mine roads, which were the three furthest roads when Luo Chen first explored.
"Perhaps we should find time to open up one or two mine tunnels and find new exits."
With this thought, Luo Chen returned to the stone house.
After removing the formation and replacing the discarded spirit stones, Luo Chen strolled to Xianyue Valley.
Perhaps they knew that the outer city would be chaotic during this period, so many monks did not go home and stayed in the stone houses built on the mountain walls of Xianyue Valley at night.
Early in the morning, many people were already up and busy.
Susu...
"The snow is so thick!"
Luo Chen did not use the Wind Control Technique, but just stepped on the thick snow and walked in Xianyue Valley.
After practicing hard, it is necessary to relax appropriately.
Breathing a little fresh air will make you feel better.
As they walked, Luo Chen lay down on the guardrail and stared deeply down, as if thinking about the key to the road.
"Ronald, what are you thinking about?"
The sound of the clear spring came from behind, and Luo Chen said without looking back: "I didn't think about it. Sister-in-law, why are you here so early?"
"I didn't go back yesterday. Someone still needs to keep an eye on the medicine hall."
Murong Qinglian walked to the side and stretched.
Luo Chen subconsciously glanced at the plump figure.
"Okay, it turns out you were spying on the female nun in our medicine hall!"
Standing at this angle, Murong Qinglian realized that Luo Chen was not thinking about the problem at all just now. His evil eyes were obviously looking at the working female monks below.
Ahem!
Luo Chen said seriously, "No, I'm just more interested in Ling Zhifu's spells recently."
"Haha, is it true?" Murong Qinglian couldn't see his serious look and laughed so hard, "Then do you want me to collect some spiritual planting techniques for you?"
"It's not impossible!" Luo Chen said matter-of-factly.
Not to mention, the proficiency of many of the spells he has learned now has reached the perfection level and the master level.
A few more spiritual planting techniques can be used to continue to earn achievement points.
Moreover, alchemists cultivating spiritual plants is a common routine in career planning.
Who is an alchemist who doesn’t have a small medicine garden of his own?
Murong Qinglian nodded his head and scolded with a smile: "You really look alike!"
After thinking for a while, Murong Qinglian said with a slightly serious face: "Xiao Luo, I know the female cultivators in the medicine hall very well. They may not be of a high level, but most of them are innocent and have a pure nature. They would rather earn hard money here. I don’t want to go to filthy places like Tianxiang Tower and Chunchao Pavilion to earn spiritual stones.”
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to say?" Luo Chen was a little confused.
"You are not young, and your spiritual qualifications are not very good. You might as well start a family while you are young and strong!"
The words made sense, and Murong Qinglian was obviously interested.
She tugged her fingers and said: "From a close perspective, you are too busy to go home every day. A Taoist monk can help you do a lot of things. No matter how difficult it is, he can warm your bed in the cold winter."
"What about in the long run? That makes even more sense!"
"Find a Taoist companion, give birth to a child with spiritual roots, cultivate it for ten or so years, and send it to the sect. With luck, if the foundation is successfully built in twenty or thirty years, you will still have longevity waiting for him to come back and repay you."
Luo Chen finally understood.
She was here to urge him to get married. Maybe Murong Qinglian wanted to be a matchmaker.
He smiled and said: "Don't say it yet, I'll listen to you. It's really like that."
"Right!" Murong Qinglian smiled like a flower, "Tell me what you like, and I will help you give advice."
"Then I like my eyebrows to be curved when I smile, and my figure should not be too slender, but should be plump and fleshy."
Murong Qinglian nodded slightly, she is the type who likes plumpness!
"When you speak and act, you should be more generous and don't be too petty."
This request is also normal. Xiao Luo is now the master of the Alchemy Hall, and the people he comes into contact with are either rich or noble. It is really not good to be too petty.
"You must be kind to me, know how to make soup and cook, and give me some advice to prevent me from going astray."
Murong Qinglian heard the last sentence before she had time to analyze whether there were any female cultivators who met the conditions in the medicine hall.
"The realm cannot be bad, at least the ninth level of Qi refining, just like my sister-in-law!"
Murong Qinglian was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You little guy, you are so courageous, and you are not afraid of Brother Qin beating you."
"Huh, beat me up?" Luo Chen held his head high, "I'm not strong yet, but when I get stronger, things will change!"
"Become your uncle!"
A sharp shout came, followed by flying snow falling from the sky.
Luo Chen's expression changed drastically and he ran away in an instant.
Behind him were Murong Qinglian, who was laughing with joy, and Qin Liangchen, who was furious.
…
…
After a fierce snow battle, the farce ended with Luo Chen taking the initiative to admit defeat and apologize.
Qin Liangchen didn't take it to heart. He was familiar with Luo Chen and knew that the other party was just joking.
However, after experiencing this, Murong Qinglian indeed never mentioned finding a Taoist companion for Luo Chen again.
Obviously, she also knew that Luo Chen was using joking words to politely but firmly refuse to get married.
"Ronaldinho, after all, his heart is for the high road!"
This is what Murong Qinglian said to Qin Liangchen in private.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Luo Chen spent the rest of his time on cultivation, except for refining elixirs.
Even if the progress is slower, it still depends on who you are competing with!
If compared with those casual cultivators who are short of cultivation resources, Luo Chen's cultivation speed is definitely as fast as the golden elixir sword cultivator's flying rainbow!
After all, if you work hard and make progress one day at a time, you will be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi refining in three or four months.
Even if the sect's peerless genius is nothing more than this.
In alchemy, after Luo Chen became familiar with the Four Symbols Cauldron, he gradually began to let others help.
In this way, the stall will be completely opened.
The Four Elephant Cauldron can refine four raw materials at a time.
Xuanyun Cauldron can load two raw materials at a time.
Ziyun Copper Stove, one portion!
In one morning, you can refine seven portions of Chalcedony Pill at the same time. If you add in the afternoon time, it will be fourteen portions in a day!
Combined with the 40% success rate, one can produce a hundred chalcedony pills in a day.
As for why there aren’t more than a hundred?
The extra money was naturally quietly embezzled by Luo Chen.
Even though Luo Chen deliberately controlled the success rate of the middle-grade Chalcedony Pill, his proficiency still reached the Grandmaster level after five days.
With master-level proficiency, not only the elixir-making rate is as high as 50%, but he can even refine high-grade chalcedony elixirs, and their potency is not inferior to normal low-grade Qi-nourishing elixirs!
Of course, Luo Chen has always controlled the birth of the high-grade chalcedony pill.
Under his best control, every high-grade chalcedony pill would go directly into his storage bag when collecting the pill.
The benefits of Grandmaster level proficiency don’t end there!
After gaining a lot of extra experience, Luo Chen has become more proficient in controlling the quality of pills, and has reached the level of Zhongmiao Pill.
Not only that, but after imparting some low-end skills to the medicine apprentices and pyrotechnics, he could feel much more relaxed and less tired.
One month later!
Alchemy Hall, in the alchemy raising room.
Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi nervously counted the number of chalcedony pills.
After each chalcedony elixir is refined, a dedicated alchemist takes it into the elixir-raising room, bottles it according to its grade and time of release, and stores it in categories.
Therefore, counting is extremely easy.
Within a minute or two, Sikong Shoujia's excited voice came.
"Two hundred and eighty bottles of low-grade chalcedony pills!"
"One hundred and twenty bottles of medium-grade chalcedony pill!"
what does that mean?
The Poshan Gang priced a bottle of low-grade chalcedony pill at ten spiritual stones.
The Poshan Gang priced a medium-grade chalcedony elixir at fifty yuan for a bottle, which could be sold in bulk.
Anyone with a little brain can calculate how many spiritual stones the elixirs from Yangdanfang can sell.
Eight thousand eight hundred spiritual stones!
After getting this number, Sikong Shoujia's eyes changed when he looked at Luo Chen who was leaning against the wall behind him.
Gu Caiyi even swallowed her saliva. Once again, Luo Chen refreshed her values.
Is it really possible for an alchemist to earn spiritual stones that much?
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Ask the elixir guard team to escort the elixir to the store!"
Luo Chen curled his lips, turned around and left, as if he was not interested in the huge profits at all.
After he left, Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi looked at each other.
When did Luo Chen become so unmoved by the spirit stone?
Luo Chen is not moved?
Of course that's impossible. After selling this batch of pills, he will get 20% profit.
What made him so uninterested was that he felt sorry for it.
It's a pity that if I didn't have so many restrictions and had a stronger background, I could make pills without restraint.
So what is placed in the elixir raising room today is not just more than four hundred bottles of low-grade and medium-grade chalcedony elixirs.
He can refine most of them into top-grade chalcedony pills!
As for the high-grade chalcedony pill, although Mi Shuhua has not announced the price, it is definitely very close to the price of the Qi Nourishing Pill in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
What does that mean?
It represents tens of thousands of spirit stones!
"It's a pity that I have to hide my clumsiness, otherwise Mi Shuhua can't protect me."
After regretting it, Luo Chen was still a little excited.
Although he couldn't refine high-grade chalcedony pills and sell them, he could secretly keep some high-grade ones for his own use!
The high-grade chalcedony pill is as powerful as the low-grade chalcedony pill.
He can no longer take the Qi Yang Dan because he is drug-resistant.
But Chalcedony Pill has no resistance!
Moreover, after taking it for half a month, Luo Chen has found that the chalcedony pill, which has reached the top grade, has no sequelae of jade in the Dantian!
This means that he can take drugs and practice unscrupulously again.
The eighth level of Qi refining is just around the corner!
Before getting off work, Luo Chen summoned all the internal cultivators.
Facing dozens of pairs of eyes, Luo Chen didn't panic at all.
He paced leisurely in front of them with his hands behind his back.
"I believe everyone has heard more or less about the results of this month's alchemy."
“This is not just my fault alone, but also everyone’s efforts.”
"I dare not say anything else. As long as everyone cooperates with me in making alchemy, after the alchemy hall's income increases, I will definitely apply to the gang leader to increase everyone's treatment!"
"Okay, that's all I have to say, it's time to get off work!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and ran away without taking a single cloud with him.
Behind him, there were warm cheers.
Among them, the old monk Qu Hancheng had the loudest voice. He led a group of fire workers and shouted "Long live the hall master" and other words.
Others were also infected and participated in singing praises to Luo Chen.
As for a group of monks, is this reaction normal?
It’s actually quite normal!
Because whether they work in a sect shop or in a gang, the salary of most internal monks is fixed.
If you want to improve your salary, you must either have outstanding skills or participate in dangerous combat missions.
The elderly, weak, sick and disabled like Dantang may not be able to improve their treatment even after old age and death.
But Luo Chen is a generous person. He is always kind to others and often works for everyone's benefit.
I have already given some small favors to several monks before.
This time, he even promised to improve the treatment for everyone.
Although the increase is not big, it is only one or two spiritual stones, a few kilograms of spiritual rice, etc. a month.
But when you add up to it, it’s very impressive.
If you follow such a hall master, your days will definitely become sweeter and sweeter!
…
Luo Chen didn't care about these thoughts. Anyway, it wasn't him who got the spiritual stone to improve his salary, but the Poshan Gang's money!
On the contrary, if these veteran cultivators and female cultivators are treated better, they will work harder when refining alchemy.
That way, he could feel much more relaxed.
I can't continue to practice in the alchemy hall today. Staying for a long time will easily arouse suspicion.
After all, the inner city is the place for cultivation.
Besides, he had something to do when he returned to the city, and he didn't have enough soothing incense, so he had to buy new ones.
It's time for Yuan Xiaoyue's account to be settled every month, and he still has to provide the other party with goods for the next month.
Flying in the sky using the Wind Control Technique, Luo Chen was chatting and laughing with the two bodyguards.
"I heard that five days ago, monks in the outer city were fighting and burned down a large area of houses?"
"Yes, no one died, but if the house burns down, things will become more serious."
Liu Qiang is very gossipy and usually likes to tell Luo Chen these things.
In his words, killing people is not a big deal, but setting fire to a house touches the bottom line of Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivator.
He gloated: "We attracted the inner city law enforcement team, and after a day of searching, the two culprits were caught. The end was terrible. First we had to compensate for the damage, and then we built houses. Not only that, we also had to go to Stanley for half a day." months."
"Finally, we have to go to the forum and have a fight in front of everyone. The winner will be released from prison, and the loser will have to stay for another half month!"
Luo Chen heard it with great interest, and when he arrived later, he even clapped his hands and applauded.
Such criminals who commit murder and arson should be arrested and severely reformed through labor!
In addition to transformation, going on stage to have a fight is more about entertaining the public and making a contribution to society!
"And where is that Lao Shi Zixuan? Didn't you say that he had another conflict with Luo Wudi's men?"
Liu Qiang curled his lips, "The big deal is that they encountered a first-order monster in the mountains and they had to fight Luo Wudi for it."
"What happened next? How did you solve it?"
"There were three people from each side and they did one game. Xuan Yihui's people won two games and got the right to hunt. After they killed the monster, Luo Wudi took action himself..."
Luo Chen's eyes flashed, "Kill them?"
"No, I bought the body of the monster beast, handed it over to the Medicine Hall and the Beast Hall for processing, and then sold it at a high price."
"cut!"
Everyone said that Luo Wudi, a tiger descending from the mountain, was so brave.
Doing it for a long time is just a brain teaser.
Luo Chen curled his lips, suddenly frowned, and his eyes fell on the slightly deep woods below.
Liu Qiang and Zhou Yuanli were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed drastically.
The two of them took action together without any hesitation.
A huge mask of light spread crazily.
A ray of black light came suddenly through the sky.
In the grove, a black-robed monk stood with his hands behind his back, looking up into the sky.
"It's a bit difficult to find a high-grade defensive magic weapon."
