Chapter 1471: Getting on in Years, Acting like a Ghost Fire Youth_1

Being an alchemist is profitable. As long as you work diligently, you can earn Spirit Stones every time you fire up the furnace. However, to become a top-notch alchemist, the amount of Spirit Stones needed for investment is astronomical.

Most alchemists learn new pill prescriptions while using the ones they've mastered to refine pills for others to earn Spirit Stones. They then use these to learn even more pill prescriptions and buy medicinal herbs, repeating this cycle.

An industrious alchemist who is always striving to improve will usually remain in a state of poverty.

Refining low-grade medicinal pills might only cost one or two Spirit Stones, but high-grade pills can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of Spirit Stones. Just imagine how long it would take to earn the cost of one furnace of high-quality pills?

"Bang"

The furnace exploded!

All the hard work of an entire year reduced to ashes in an instant.
