C21 Grade Four Pill Refiner (2/2)

The furnishings inside were extremely simple, apart from a large black cauldron, there was only a praying mat.

There was a signboard on top of the room with the words' Pill Refining Room 'written on it.

Huangfu Yi exclaimed, ”Daoist Priest is truly amazing. Even the cauldron has been prepared.”

Old Monster Sun's face was also filled with envy, ”A cauldron used by pill refiners is not cheap, what kind of Chinese currency would it be, would it cost tens of millions?”

The cauldron, also known as the pill furnace, was a very important part!

One had to know that before a pill refiner could enter the Upper Sky Realm, he could not use his inner Qi to transform it into flames. He had to use external items, which was also the help of a cauldron, in order for his inner Qi to become the fire of the Upper Sky.

A good furnace could greatly increase the success rate of concocting pills.

For example, this grade four medicinal pill.

For an ordinary Tier 4 pill refiner, there was only a fifty percent chance of success.

However, a good furnace could increase the success rate to 60%, 70%, and even 80%.

Lin Nan walked into the pill refining room and looked at the cauldron. The inherent Innate Qi was extremely thin, he reckoned that it would at most increase the chances of success by 20%.

He respectfully said, ”Master Lin, may I know how many batches of ingredients you need to concoct the Ice Spirit Pill?” [I am truly incompetent. I have spent decades preparing only two portions of it!]

There was an unwritten rule among pill refiners.

In order to get a pill refiner to concoct the pills, he had to prepare some medicinal herbs!

It was fine if it was two, but if it all failed, it had nothing to do with them.

There was only a fifty percent chance for a grade-4 pill refiner to forge a grade-4 pill. This didn't mean that as long as he had two sets of ingredients, he would be able to successfully refine it.

Even if they were prepared with three portions, it was normal for them to fail!

Thus, for the sake of face, most pill refiners would not concoct any medicinal herbs.

The monk had a bitter face, but what was this glacial herb?

It only bloomed in the center of the South Pole. While it was growing, nine percent of the glacial herb were drowned by the snowstorm and the remaining one percent would flower and bear its fruit.

Getting the two stalks on hand was already the limit of a man with a beard and eyebrows.

Lin Nan shook his head, ”A portion of the ingredients is enough.”

The bearded elder thought this was a formality, so he simply smiled and took out two black boxes from his room and placed them next to the cauldron.

”Master Lin, this old man has almost used up all his savings for these two ingredients. Today, Master Lin will concoct a Tier 4 Ice Spirit Pill for me. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, I will give this furnace to Master Lin.”

Everyone was shocked, as the Elder's skills were too great!

This cauldron was worth at least ten million, and it was definitely worth the reward of a Tier 4 Pill Refiner forging it.

However, Huangfu Yi's heart was very clear. He silently cursed, ”A wise man with a good mind.”

The bearded leader gave the cauldron to Lin Nan obviously to show mercy! Or in other words, even if Lin Nan didn't concoct pills for him, as long as Lin Nan revealed his identity as a fourth ranked pill refiner, he would definitely gift the cauldron to him.

Huangfu Yi sighed. This bearded gangster was trying to catch a big fish in the long line!

In terms of honor, a Grade Four Alchemist was far superior to martial arts master like them. Normally, they would have to pay a respectful visit to the Alchemist Guild, but now, they were all licking their old face and addressing each other as brothers.
