Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: The Pure Emerge from the Furnace (2/2)

“I am aware of that, Elder Yu once mentioned it,” Lin Jing said.

“`

“Hmm.”

“Next, aside from alchemy, you must not neglect your cultivation either. You also need to improve it.”

“I see you’ve been eating Medium Grade Spirit Rice every day, so you must have had some savings before, but even so, you can’t be too wasteful.”

“It’s still best to learn alchemy quickly. Once you’re good at alchemy, it can be very profitable. Then you won’t have to worry about eating Medium Grade Spirit Rice every day, even eating Superior Grade Spirit Rice every day will be no problem.”

Ning Yue instructed Lin Jing, looking very much like a senior.

Lin Jing felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Medium Grade Spirit Rice?”

“In a little while, when the Superior Grade Spirit Rice in the System Space is ripe, I’ll be eating Superior Grade Spirit Rice every day.”

“What then should I say?”

“Hmm, it seems I’ll need to find an excuse when the time comes.”

After finishing their meal, the two of them went back, and Lin Jing began his grand alchemy career.

For half a month like this, Lin Jing refined several furnaces every day, and gradually, his success rate in alchemy increased manyfold.

These past few days, Lin Jing had already produced three Supreme Elixirs, but he hadn’t managed to create a Pure Elixir.

Of course, it might also be because he hadn’t produced two Supreme Elixirs in the same furnace.

After all, the most basic condition for creating a Pure Elixir is to have two Supreme Elixirs in the same furnace.

Otherwise, even if the Alchemy Room had the attribute of a 10% chance for a Pure Elixir, without meeting the most basic condition, how could he produce a Pure Elixir?

A few days later, the materials for Fasting Pills he had bought were used up, and his alchemy skills were almost there.

Next, he planned to start refining other types of elixirs.

The first time he bought a Pill Furnace, Lin Jing also purchased materials for several other elixirs. Since his alchemy skills hadn’t been up to par before, he hadn’t used them.

This time, Lin Jing was prepared; it was time to start refining, especially the Energy Gathering Pills used to increase one’s cultivation. His own cultivation progress depended on them.

He entered the System Space and came to the Alchemy Room.

This time, as usual, he started the fire, opened the furnace…

For the first refinement, he put in the materials for an Energy Restoration Elixir.

He began the refinement process.

“Elixir refinement successful, Alchemy proficiency +15.”

The appearance of the system prompt made Lin Jing’s eyes light up.

“15 Alchemy proficiency points.”

“A Supreme quality elixir on the first attempt to refine an Energy Restoration Elixir?”

The Energy Restoration Elixir is for quickly restoring one’s Spiritual Power when it’s depleted, and in terms of price, it isn’t much different from Energy Gathering Pills, but much more expensive than Fasting Pills.

This Supreme Energy Restoration Elixir would typically fetch around 20 Lower Grade Spirit Stones on the market.

It was certainly not cheap.

Lin Jing opened the Pill Furnace and took out the elixirs inside.

In this furnace, he had refined one Supreme, two Superior, and two Medium Grade Energy Restoration Elixirs.

A Supreme Elixir provided +5 Alchemy proficiency points, while a Superior was +3, a Medium Grade +2, and a Low Grade only increased proficiency by one point.

As for the Pure Elixir, Lin Jing had not made one before, so he wasn’t sure.

The Elixir Furnace Medicine added up to exactly 15 Alchemy proficiency points.

“Next up, it’s time to refine Energy Gathering Pills,” Lin Jing murmured to himself.

After resting for a while, Lin Jing once again began preparations.

This time, he remained steady, without any hint of panic, not sparing a moment of excitement for having just produced a Supreme Elixir.

Such a mindset was perfect for alchemy.

Half an hour later.

The Alchemy Room was filled with swirling smoke and lingering elixir fragrance, which was different from before, not dissipating for a long time and gathering continuously inside the Alchemy Room.

Lin Jing, as if oblivious, focused intently, staring at the Pill Furnace, carefully controlling the temperature of the flame.

“Ding”

“System prompt: Congratulations, Host has refined a Pure Elixir and received the reward: 5 Harvest Points.”

“System prompt: As the Host has refined a Pure Elixir for the first time, receive a reward: 10 Harvest Points.”

“Elixir refinement successful, Alchemy proficiency +27.”
