Chapter 29: Spiritual Armament (1/2)

”This is the area where elders of the Alchemy Hall undergo refinement. If there's nothing else, it's best not to come over. The elders don't like to be disturbed.”

”This is the place where the Alchemy Hall disciples refine pills. It's best that you don't go too close. This is because some disciples are still newbies. It's very common for their furnace to explode.”

”This room is amazing. It's the future Pill Chamber of your beautiful Senior Sister Little Four. When I become independent, I'll refine pills here.”

On the way to register with Little Four, Jiang Li did not walk in a straight line. This kind and lively senior sister brought him around the area of the Alchemy Hall and introduced the layout and restrictions of this place to him.

”Senior Sister Little Four, in the Alchemy Hall, are there many Pill Chambers like our master's?”

Jiang Li noticed that there were very few white rooms in the Pill Chamber area.

”Not many. The investment in creating a new pill formula is really too high. Although there is the support of the sect, it is also a huge pressure and challenge for the alchemist himself.”

”In our Scripture Storage Valley, there aren't many alchemists who have the ability to create new pills. Our Master Red Hair is one of them. They don't usually create pills.”

”Only when they have inspiration will they apply for resources from the sect to support their pill creation.”

”Creating pills isn't always guaranteed to succeed. For example, Master Red Hair has already failed many times. Before I became his disciple, he seemed to have failed many times as well.”

Jiang Li's eyes flickered.

”What about those failed pill formulas? Have they all been destroyed?” He asked tentatively.

”How is that possible? Although those pill formulas didn't succeed, they've already paid an extremely great price. Even if they can't eliminate the side effects in the end and can't form a pill, it's still a great reference to those who came later.”

”All the failed pill formulas that have been abandoned are stored in the Pill Chamber. If you want to see them, you can look at them too.”

Little Four's reply made Jiang Li's eyes light up. However, he did not show it on his face. He chatted and laughed along the way. In the end, he registered his name at the office of the Alchemy Hall.

The so-called registered disciple did not count as taking an actual master. Jiang Li was still an outer disciple now.

In fact, there were many registered disciples in the Alchemy Hall.

This meant that one of their abilities had caught the eye of an elder, and from there, the elder would take them under his wing and teach them.

Of course, in the Alchemy Hall, the vast majority of registered disciples were selected because of their talent in alchemy, whereas Jiang Li was selected because of his 'Pill Testing' talent.

However, the reason was not important. After registering, Jiang Li would be like the other disciples. In the future, he would be able to directly enter the Alchemy Hall and receive pill making lessons.

This was different from the marginal teaching methods taught by the elders of the Cultivation Hall. Only here could Jiang Li truly learn deep knowledge.

When he returned to the Pill Chamber, Elder Elder Red Hair was no longer there. It looked like he had gone to seek credit from the sect's higher-ups with the new pill and formula.

However, there were a few things left on the long table.

Apart from the reward for Jiang Li today, there was also a pill robe, a pill book, and a small pill furnace.

”Junior Brother Jiang Li, Master left these for you.”

”This small cauldron was used by Master when he was young.”

'Oh? Is there something special about this pill furnace?' Jiang Li thought.

”Our senior brother used it before, and then I used it too. Now, Master is passing it to you.”

Jiang Li: Fine… I was dreaming.

”Senior Sister Little Four, can we go take a look at the old useless pill formulas?” Jiang Li suddenly asked.

”Useless pill formulas? What are you looking at those for? Don't tell me you want to successfully improve the pill formulas? No way, no way. Even Master and the other elders didn't succeed.”
