Chapter 13: Successful Alchemy, Opening the Alchemy Room

Translator: 549690339

“Since it won’t work here.”

“I’ll wait until tonight and try in the System Space, where the spiritual energy is dense, maybe that will do the trick.”

With that in mind, Lin Jing first cleaned the Three-legged Copper Furnace, packed it away, and then opened both the windows and the door to air out the scent from the room.

He himself took an elixir book and went out into the courtyard to continue his research.

It wasn’t until the sun hung over the mountain and the sky gradually darkened that Lin Jing lifted his head.

By that time, smoke was rising from many courtyards nearby, and the fragrance of various dishes also began to waft through the air.

A sense of worldly liveliness unique to mortals permeated this cultivator-inhabited Fang Market.

Indeed, cultivators also need to eat.

This place was inhabited by the lower echelons of the cultivation world, mostly those at the early and middle stages of Qi Refinement.

They were not yet capable of fasting and could hardly afford Fasting Pills, so they had to cook their own meals.

Moreover, most people here, just like mortals, ate very ordinary rice.

For them, Spirit Rice was far too expensive.

Of course, there were a very few who were in the Late Stage Qi Refining, with stronger cultivation and hence more Spirit Stones to their names, and could afford Spirit Rice.

For example, Lin Jing’s neighbor, Ning Daoyou with her child, was at the Late Stage Qi Refining.

When meal times came around, the aroma of steamed Spirit Rice always emerged from her house.

Seeing that the day had turned dark, Lin Jing also prepared to start a fire and cook.

Previously, with the Spirit Rice he had sold, aside from what he sold to Shopkeeper Cheng, he still had a few hundred jin left, enough to last him until the Spirit Rice in the System Space matured again.

For this period, Lin Jing had been eating this kind of Spirit Rice.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Lin Jing felt that the Spirit Rice he grown was somewhat sweeter than other Spirit Rice out there.

For this reason, he had specifically purchased some Medium Grade Spirit Rice for comparison.

And indeed, it was the case.

No wonder Shopkeeper Cheng had been so anxious back then, desperate to reserve the next year’s supply of Spirit Rice.

Starting a fire, cooking rice, stir-frying dishes, all done in one go…

Then, by the last light of dusk, Lin Jing sat down to enjoy his dinner.

After eating and tidying up, Lin Jing returned to the room and continued perusing elixir books.

Night deepened, and soon it was the wee hours of the next day.

“System Space time refresh, time remaining to enter: 4 hours.”

The system prompt sounded again.

A smile crossed Lin Jing’s face.

“Enter the System Space.”

Once in the System Space, Lin Jing called up the familiar panel and directly checked his own information.

Lin Jing (23/90)

Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade)

Cultivation: Qi Refinement Second Layer (8%)

Cultivation Technique: Qingyuan Dao Method (Level One), Qingyuan Sword Control Technique (Entry Level), Controlling Fire Technique (Entry Level)

Secondary Profession: None

The Secondary Profession column still displayed none.

Time was precious inside the System Space, so Lin Jing dared not waste a moment.

He took out the Three-legged Copper Furnace from the Storage Bag, then prepared the materials, and Lin Jingshen took a deep breath to relax.

In alchemy, the most important thing is the state of mind.

Once everything was ready, Lin Jing began to ignite the fire, added various spiritual materials into the Pill Furnace, and started alchemy…

“Boom”

As expected, the first furnace blew up.

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Jing continued.

The second furnace did not explode but produced elixirs of irregular shapes without any fragrance.

Lin Jing pinched one with his hand, and the irregular elixir crumbled immediately, revealing it was full of dregs, clearly a failed product.

However, this was still a great improvement over the first attempt.
