Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Chapter 51 Elder Yu Presents a Stove (2/2)
“That is, you need to refine a Supreme Elixir as soon as possible and join
Yuebaolou as an Offering Pill Master. I am looking forward to it.” “Alright, Elder Yu, rest assured.”
After returning home, Lin Jing took out the Pill Furnace and began the refinement process.
As Lin Jing’s cultivation was not high, refining this Magic Artifact Pill Furnace was no easy task.
After several days of continuous refining effort, Lin Jing finally succeeded in refining it and fully mastered the Pill Furnace.
Following the successful refinement, Lin Jing was extremely excited and could hardly wait to enter the System Space to attempt alchemy again.
However, after several days of non-stop refinement, he was actually in a very poor condition and needed to rest and adjust his state.
So, Lin Jing eventually held back.
Not until the next day.
With his condition restored and full of energy, Lin Jing entered the System Space.
Arriving at the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing took out the Pill Furnace.
Then, with a thought, the Pill Furnace slowly grew in size.
He stopped once it became slightly larger than the previous Three-legged Copper Furnace he had used, thinking this size was just right.
Next, Lin Jing took out a set of materials for the Gathering Yuan Pill from the Storage Bag. He had made the Gathering Yuan Pill last time and planned to start from it this time as well.
After all, with the experience from last time, it should be a bit easier this time around.
Lin Jing first processed the materials and then lit the fire. When the timing was almost right, he put the materials into the Pill Furnace one by one.
Finally, he sealed the furnace.
After sealing the furnace, he carefully controlled the flames while his Divine Sense observed the movements inside the Pill Furnace.
He was cautious and dared not be careless.
As time passed little by little, Lin Jing focused intently on the Pill Furnace.
This time, he seemed much more at ease than before, most notably because the fine beads of sweat that had previously appeared on his forehead were now absent.
Soon, the fragrance of the Elixir Medicine began to diffuse, signaling the final steps of the alchemy process.
Lin Jing perked up, keeping a close watch on the Pill Furnace and carefully controlling the flame. He had failed at this point last time, and he absolutely could not allow the same situation to happen again.
“Ding”
“System notification: Congratulations to the host for successfully crafting a
Second Rank Elixir Medicine for the first time, reward: 20 Harvest Points.” “Elixir Medicine refinement successful, Alchemy proficiency +16.”
“Success!”
Lin Jing let out a breath and then smiled knowingly.
He then opened the Pill Furnace and took out the Elixir Medicines.
One Superior grade, two Medium grade, and one Low Grade – for the first successful refinement, the quality was already quite impressive.
Afterward, Lin Jing stored away the Elixir Medicines.
The energy spent in crafting Second Rank Elixir Medicines was not comparable to that of first-rate ones. Following this, he did not have the energy to continue crafting a second batch.
After putting away the Pill Furnace, Lin Jing left the System Space.
Once out of the System Space, Lin Jing immediately sat cross-legged and started restoring his energy.
After an indeterminate length of time, Lin Jing awoke.
By then, he felt that his condition had fully recovered and he could engage in Alchemy once more.
Lin Jing opened his eyes and turned to look out the window; it was already broad daylight outside.
Lin Jing frowned, thinking to himself:
“Has it already been that long?”
He then began to calculate, and his calculation was significant.
It had taken Lin Jing three six-hour cycles to restore his state.
In other words, after refining a batch of Elixir Medicine, if he wanted to refine a second batch, he would need another six hours.
Lin Jing lay on the bed, frowning in thought.
“The refinement of Second Rank Elixir Medicine generally takes one cycle to refine a batch, which is two hours.”
“And the entry time for the System Space is now 4 hours per day. With a different flow of time in the System Space, that doubles to 8 hours.” After crafting one batch, he would also need to rest for three cycles, which is six hours. By that calculation, if he did nothing but alchemy every day, he could at most refine three batches of Second Rank Elixir Medicine.
“This won’t do, is there really no solution?”
