Chapter 27 Xu Family Pill Shop

Chapter 27 Xu Family Pill Shop

"Assessment then."

"Very well, please follow me."

Having reached an agreement, the Young Master in Fine Clothes did not press further, but Wang Yu became even more curious.

"Old Senior, how long have you been following Steward Xu? How should I address you?"

"My surname is Zhu, you can call me Elder Zhu."

"As for following Steward Xu, it has only been these past few days. The Xu Family Pill Shop is newly opened, and I have a slight reputation in the Pill Shop manager circle, so I was invited to temporarily manage the Pill Shop."

"I see."

Every industry has its own circles, and eloquence is also a talent. It is normal to have a manager circle, but inviting someone to temporarily manage it seems somewhat inappropriate.

Elder Zhu led Wang Yu into the Backyard, pointed to a room and said, "Inside here is a First Rank Earth Fire Chamber, the Medicinal Herbs are all prepared. I will wait for you at the Doorway while you refine pills, Little Brother."

"Easy to say."

Wang Yu was confident and naturally not afraid of a small Assessment. Another two months had passed, and not only had the two basic Pill Formulas been raised to the Perfected State.

[Placement Slot 2: Cold Dragon Alchemy Art (Fragmented)]

"Cold Dragon Alchemy Art (35/100): Twelve practices a day, can be completed in eight months."

Reaching this step in Pill Refining Art can be considered minor success. Coupled with a Pill Formula that he had fully comprehended, there was no reason for failure.

Therefore, even though it was his first time handling it, he felt exceptionally skilled.

Pill Refining is divided into four steps.

Extraction, Fusion, Pill Condensation, and Pill Nurturing!

The so-called [Extraction] is also the most well-known step, removing Impurities and extracting the essence.

These Impurities are often misunderstood as toxic or harmful substances, but this is not the case. Spirit Herbs mostly gather the essence of heaven and earth, blessed with spiritual beauty, and have almost no Impurities. They are the purest spiritual objects.

Extraction, according to the Pill Formula, is to remove a portion of the Medicinal Properties that do not meet the requirements, remove the muddy smell, and the influence of earth Qi produced when some roots and beards grow.

Depending on the growth environment, the parts that need to be removed are also different, and it is even a branch of learning.

Except for the Medicinal Properties required by the Pill Formula, everything else is Impurities.

This is Extraction!

The second step, [Fusion], as the name suggests, is to fuse the Medicinal Properties of various Spirit Herbs. This requires a deep understanding of Medicinal Principles, and knowledge of the principles and order of Pill Formula combinations. One wrong step will lead to an increase in the difficulty of Pill formation.

Medicinal Properties, Medicinal Principles, and methods of processing Medicinal Herbs are enough for ordinary people to study for twenty to thirty years. The Flame Control Art also plays a crucial role in this step, and is the core of the Fire Refinement Method.

The third step, [Pill Condensation], mainly uses the Pill Condensation Seal to condense the medicinal liquid into Pills. This step emphasizes skill and Cultivation Level, requiring Divine Sense to control and Spirit Power to blend.

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for that Young Master to question Wang Yu. His revealed Cultivation Level was only Qi Condensation Third Layer, and his Divine Sense could not even leave his body, so how could he talk about controlling details in Pill Refining!

The fourth step, [Pill Nurturing], after Pill Condensation is successful, it still needs to be refined slowly with Gentle Flame, so that the Medicinal Properties are completely unified under the blending of Spirit Power. Only then can it be considered successful.

If hidden dangers are left in the previous steps, it will lead to Cracks in the Pill, or Medicinal Properties clashing and turning into Failed Pills. It emphasizes slowness with order, and seeking speed within stability!

Refining a furnace of Fasting Pills only takes a quarter of an hour, which is half an hour.

It is refined using Five Essence Grass and Spirit Grain as the main ingredients, supplemented by Spirit Spring Water, Imperishable Root, Long Fragrance Fruit, Sweet Nectar and other ordinary First Rank Spirit Objects.

Before the Cold Dragon Alchemy Art refines the [Cold Dragon Pill] and condenses the "Frost Flame Seed", it is just an ordinary Pill Refining Art without any special features.

Therefore, Wang Yu also refined it ordinarily.

Half an hour later, a furnace of Fasting Pills was completed, yielding five Pills, all Mid Grade. This was because his Flame Control Art skills were not refined, affecting the Pill Yield Rate.

In fact, thoroughly understanding the Pill Formula can improve the quality of Elixir Pills.

Of course, the profundity of Pill Refining Art will also affect the quality of Elixir Pills, and also affect the Pill Yield Rate. It is comprehensive.

In general, Wang Yu's brain understood, but his hands were slow. This point will gradually change as his Pill Refining Art skills improve. Immediately following, the second furnace was Spirit Replenishing Pills.

It was completed without any surprises, yielding six Pills, two High Grade and four Mid Grade. The situation was slightly better.

Looking at the two bottles of Spirit Pills in his hand, Wang Yu deducted one Fasting Pill and two High Grade Spirit Replenishing Pills, handing over only four of each.

Reasonable Fire Wastage is a must, otherwise how would he make a fortune?

Even so, when he pushed open the door and went out to have Elder Zhu check the Elixir Pills, he still received amazed praise.

"Good skill, it is not impossible to refine High Grade Spirit Pills in the future."

"This is the employment contract of the Xu Family Pill Shop, certified by the Sect. If you agree, you can sign it directly."

Wang Yu took it and looked it over, and was immediately shocked by the income of an Alchemist. As expected of a rare production-type profession, they can make big money.

The Xu Family Pill Shop offered a price of two hundred Spirit Stones per month. It seemed small, but he had only earned two hundred Contribution Points in half a year working at the Tantai Herb Garden. Although the latter was more valuable, this was a monthly income, and half a year would be one thousand two Spirit Stones, which could be considered a high salary.

It was enough to buy two Superior Cold Blood Pills.

There were also requirements for Pill Refining, ten furnaces per day, with Fasting Pills and Spirit Replenishing Pills each accounting for half, a Low-Grade Rate of no more than 20%, and a Pill Yield Rate of no less than three Pills per furnace.

Two and a half hours of Pill Refining time, plus the time needed to recover in between, meant that he would have to work for about five hours a day, almost taking up the entire daytime.

Calculating it like this, a sense of exploitation suddenly arose.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Yu opened his mouth and said, "Elder Zhu, there is no problem with this contract, but the duration needs to be changed to one year. Ten years is too long."

"This is negotiable."

Elder Zhu smiled and invited Wang Yu to the Reception Room on the side, speaking concisely.

"The Pill Shop wants to make money, and will also give you some Pill Formulas for free. In other words, it has the responsibility of nurturing you. Pill Master Xu occasionally giving you a few pointers will save you a lot of time."

Wang Yu still shook his head.

"Ten years is too long, I will only sign for one year."

"Eight years."

"One year."

"Six years."

"One year."

Seeing that Wang Yu was unmoved, Elder Zhu said again.

"Offering high remuneration is to value long-term benefits. The Pill Shop is not making money in this regard, and is even losing money to nurture you."

"If you want to reduce the time, the monthly income will also have to be reduced."

Such familiar rhetoric almost triggered Wang Yu's stress response. He took a deep breath before asking, "Reduced by how much?"

"One hundred."

"Farewell!"

Wang Yu was unyielding, with an attitude of 'then I'll leave'. Elder Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, alright, one year it is, no reduction in pay, but you will not receive the Pill Shop's nurturing."

"Acceptable."

After modifying the contract terms, Wang Yu checked again and again before signing and pressing his handprint. This thing was in triplicate, one copy for him, one for the Pill Shop, and one for the Sect Law Enforcement Hall.

Working at the Xu Family Pill Shop, he would be able to save enough Spirit Stones to buy a Superior Cold Blood Pill in at most a month. At that time, he would not have to worry about the slow improvement of his Cultivation Level.

"Happy to cooperate."

"Happy to cooperate."

After saying goodbye, Wang Yu returned to his Ordinary Disciple Cave Dwelling. In another year or so, his strength would undergo a transformation. On the other hand, he could also consider purchasing a Magic Artifact.
