C88 Official Alchemy

Seeing Lu Qingfeng enter, Shangguan Zitong immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Young Master Lu, we are really fated to meet. We just met at the border market two months ago, but I didn't expect to see you here again."

Lu Qingfeng laughed and said, "It's really fate, but I just happened to come here today because I have some unused demon beast materials to deal with. I was looking for a slightly bigger shop, and in the end, I saw the Treasure Pavilion of your Divine Continent. Everyone knows that the Treasure Pavilion of the Divine Continent is the place with the most strength and reputation."

Shangguan Zitong smiled and said, "Many thanks for Young Master's love, but I wonder what kind of demon beast materials Young Master Lu would like to sell this time."

"There are a lot of things, but they're a bit messy. Can you pour them onto the floor of this room?" Lu Qingfeng asked Shangguan Zitong.

"Of course you can. You just have to clean up after the ground is dirty. Because if you run away after offending this big customer, that would be a huge loss!" Shangguan Zitong said jokingly, "Wait a moment, I'll go get someone."

Shangguan Zitong looked towards the door and said, "Xiaotong, come in for a moment." As soon as Shangguan Zitong finished speaking, the door was pushed open and a 17-18 year old girl walked in.

"Xiaotao, go to Uncle Zheng's room and call him over," Shangguan Zitong ordered her husband.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties came in. Shangguan Zitong pointed at Lu Qingfeng and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle Zheng, this is my friend Lu Qingfeng, who is also a VIP of the Treasure Pavilion. I came here to sell some demon beast materials today. Please give me a look."

After respectfully greeting Uncle Zheng, Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeves and a mountain of materials from a demon beast appeared on the ground in the middle of the reception room. Uncle Zheng walked in front of the pile of demon beast materials and organized the materials. The fur, bones, demon cores, teeth, horns, and flesh were arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

After dividing the ingredients, Uncle Zheng began to calculate the price. Ten minutes later, he looked at Shangguan Zitong and said, "Miss, these demon beast materials are worth a total of 1,850,000 crystals." With that, he looked towards Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng said, "This price is very fair. Uncle Zheng, you can keep them."

Uncle Zheng took out a storage ring and packed everything up, then he looked at Shangguan Zitong and waited for her orders. Shangguan Zitong said: "I'll have to trouble Uncle Zheng to tell Little Peach outside to find Aunt Lan and bring her 1,850,000 crystals."

Not long after Uncle Yao left, a middle-aged woman in her forties entered. After handing Shangguan Zitong a storage ring, she turned and walked out.

Shangguan Zitong passed the storage ring to Lu Qingfeng and said, "Young Master Lu, take a look at the crystal count, right?"

Lu Qingfeng put away his storage ring and said, "There's no need to count. I trust Treasure Pavilion, and I trust Miss Shangguan even more. If there's nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Fortunately, it was already noon when Lu Qingfeng had left Shangguan Tiantong's place. He chose a random restaurant, ordered some dishes and a jar of wine, then sat down at a table near the window and started drinking by himself.

Lu Qingfeng was already more than 10 million crystals in his possession, and he would not need it for a short period of time. Thus, he decided to use these crystals to buy more spirit herbs to refine the pills, and then sell the pills. This way, he would have more and more crystals.

Lu Qingfeng calculated. He had just bought 1,000 portions of Tier 4 spiritual herbs and spent 900,000 crystals, 900 crystals per portion. A Grade Four Barrier Breaking Pill could sell for at least 5,000 crystals. If the success rate was kept at 50%, a batch of pills could sell for 25,000 crystals, which was 30 times more than what he could get. Compared to hunting magical beasts, refining pills was much safer and he could earn a lot of crystals, so why not?

Moreover, during the process of refining pills, the soul would be constantly strengthened. When the soul was strong, no matter what one did, it would result in twice the results with half the effort. Lu Qingfeng felt that refining pills was the fastest way to earn crystals.

However, he did not know if Shangguan Zitong had a large amount of Barrier Breaking Elixir, and if there was, he would establish a long-term partnership with the Treasure Pavilion. Thinking about it, he smiled and said to himself, "It's still too early to consider all these.

After lunch, Lu Qingfeng returned to Dongfang Yunfei's pill shop and directly went to his pill concocting room. This was the first time Lu Qingfeng had seen a true pill refining room. The backyard of Dongfang Yunfei had six main rooms, and three of the basements were used as pill refining rooms.

The basement was very bright. There were many glowing crystals inlaid in the ceiling. In the spacious basement, there was only a praying mat. Lu Qingfeng was sitting cross-legged on it.

He then took out the white jade lotus throne and placed it on top of the cauldron, activating the formation on the white jade lotus throne. The flame quickly grew stronger, and the cauldron also began to heat up rapidly, extending his right hand in front of him. The nine spirit herbs were already neatly arranged on the ground in front of him.

With a single-handed technique, he opened the lid of the cauldron. True essence wrapped around the Spirit Grass and floated within the pill cauldron. He then controlled the formation on the white jade lotus throne, causing the temperature of the flame to rise rapidly.

When the spiritual herbs within the pill furnace began to melt, the flow of primeval essence into the white jade lotus throne stopped, causing the temperature of the flame to be constant. As the barbecue continued, the spirit grass began to melt.

When all nine herbs had melted into liquid form, they would integrate the liquid according to the method stated in the recipe. One had to be extra careful during the process, no matter how fast or slow it was, it would still take a proper fusion speed.

He carefully controlled the fusion of the two herbs' liquids. After the fusion was completed, he added the liquid of one herb, and after the fusion, it became the liquids of three herbs, and then he added another liquids, and so on.

Since Lu Qingfeng did not know how much time had passed while he was focusing all of his attention on the fusion of the Spirit Liquid, the only thing left in the crucible was a ball about the size of a fist. The spiritual liquid swirled nonstop in order to evenly heat up the spiritual liquid and evaporate the water within.

Slowly, as the water evaporated, the fist-sized ball of spirit liquid became the size of a duck egg, as soft as a piece of dough. At this time, Lu Qingfeng increased the output strength of his true essence, causing this dough sized ball of spirit medicine to gradually become thinner and longer, just like a length of rope.

At this time, Lu Qingfeng released a portion of his soul force and broke the rope, dividing the pills into ten parts. Under the control of true essence, he carefully twisted each section into a circle. He was truly entering a critical period of time in order to concoct pills.

At the same time, controlling the refinement of ten pills not only consumed a great deal of true essence, but also caused one's soul force to gradually run out of energy. With a slight deviation in the control of soul force, all previous efforts would be in vain.

Just as Lu Qingfeng felt a trace of weakness in his soul force, a series of explosions sounded out from within the pill cauldron. He hurriedly reformed his soul force to maintain the level he had just reached.

In this short period of time, Lu Qingfeng had managed to shatter six pellets in succession. However, the destruction of these six pellets also reduced the burden on his soul. It was much easier to manipulate the remaining four pills. As the four pills spun around, the surface became more and more smooth. Gradually, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out from the cauldron.

At this moment, Lu Qingfeng decisively extinguished the Underwater Heart Flame. Both of his hands formed a seal, forming a total of 24 incantations. The instant the incantation was chanted, the lid of the pill furnace suddenly opened, and four Grade Four Barrier Breaking Pills that emitted a faint purple glow, under Lu Qingfeng's control, quickly flew into the jade bottle that he had prepared beforehand.

This was Lu Qingfeng's first time forging a grade-4 Barrier Breaking Pill, and his success rate was 40%. However, this was within his expectations. Such a result had already far surpassed the one he had obtained when he was refining the first grade Barrier Breaking Pill. Therefore, Lu Qingfeng was quite satisfied with his results this time around.

After resting for an hour and waiting for his true essence to recover to its peak, he took out another batch of spiritual herbs for the fourth grade Barrier Breaking Pill and prepared to start the second batch.

Dongfang Yunfei stood quietly behind Lu Qingfeng, nodding his head. If Lu Qingfeng had seen him just now, it would mean that Lu Qingfeng was not a qualified alchemist. As an alchemist, one had to have full concentration in order to pass the examination.

The second to seventh batches all had a 50% success rate. These batches of pills required a long period of time to be refined. As long as there was a lack of experience and discovery, the next batch would have a higher success rate.

The eighth furnace had a success rate of 60%, which was 10% higher than the seventh furnace. Just like this, a thousand batches of Tier 4 Barrier Breaking Pills were completed without rest. By the last ten batches, the success rate had already stabilized to 80%.

As he recovered his true essence to its peak, he opened his eyes and said to himself, "It seems that alchemy is very useful in the training of soul force. The Soul Sword is now much more solid than it was before pill refining.

After putting away the cauldron and the heart flame, he walked towards the door. Just as he turned around, he saw Dongfang Yunfei standing at the door. He quickly stepped forward and bowed. "Thank you, Senior Dongfang."

Dongfang Yunfei waved his hand and said, "I saw that you refined nine hundred and ninety-nine batches, and it took you three months to reach this level. Dongfang Yunfei waved his hand and said," I saw that you refined nine hundred and ninety-nine batches, and it took three months.

Lu Qingfeng said: "Senior's praise is something that Qingfeng doesn't dare to do. There are people beyond the mountain, and there are certainly people stronger than Qingfeng."

Dongfang Yunfei secretly praised her. "With such tempting talent and extraordinary talent, along with her neither arrogant nor impetuous heart and the spirit of being willing to give it, Qingfeng's name will definitely shake the entire meteorite."
