Chapter 312: Bring Me Ten Copies
“That’s good! That’s good!”
Ji Yang nodded in response, trying hard to suppress his joy.
If he only needed to produce one pill from a cauldron, wouldn’t that be like getting gifts for free?
He didn’t know how many spiritual plants would be available at Alchemy Peak for him to craft pills.
Returning to the He Dao Sect didn’t seem so urgent now.
It would be better to wait and deepen his training at the Heaven Demon Sect before going back; after all, the seeds of spiritual grains in his hands wouldn’t go bad.
Seeing that Ji Yang reacted fairly normally and wasn’t too shaken by the rules of Alchemy Peak, Deacon Song nodded slightly. It seemed this young man had some real talent.
However, upon further thought, it made sense that this young man, entrusted personally by an elder, must have considerable strength.
“Alright, Junior Brother Feng, come with me!”
After finishing his introduction, Deacon Song led Ji Yang to an Alchemy Room halfway up the mountain.
As they entered the Alchemy Room, Ji Yang looked around.
The room was quite nice, equipped with a proper workbench and a firepit made from ground fire, along with some formation tokens used to control the corresponding facilities in the room.
It was even better than the Alchemy Room he had used at the inn in Heaven Demon City.
In the Cultivation World, strength spoke for itself, and Alchemy Peak was no exception; it just measured skill in alchemy instead of cultivation level.
Beginner Alchemists could only craft pills in the Alchemy Rooms at the foot of the mountain!
The stronger the alchemy skills, the better the Alchemy Room, and the more complete the corresponding formations were.
The Alchemy Room at the mountain top not only had ground fire suitable for Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators but also featured various auxiliary formations and luxurious facilities.
In contrast, the Alchemy Rooms at the foot of the mountain had much poorer conditions.
Currently, Ji Yang was in an Alchemy Room with a medium standard.
Even though he was recommended by an elder, it was still the rule of Alchemy Peak; this particular room was carefully chosen by Deacon Song from among other subpar options.
Seeing that Ji Yang showed no dissatisfaction, Deacon Song smiled.
Ji Yang was unaware of the differences and didn’t mind; he needed very few items for crafting, just enough spiritual plants would suffice!
“For the necessary spiritual plants, you only need to inform us using the messaging talisman here, and disciples will bring them to you!”
Deacon Song pointed to the messaging talisman in the Alchemy Room.
Ji Yang nodded.
“By the way, when do you plan to start crafting pills?”
“If you’re not in a hurry, I can give you a tour of Alchemy Peak. And if you’d like, I can also introduce you to other Alchemists at the same level to share experiences and enhance your alchemy skills.”
Deacon Song suggested.
Communicating alchemy experiences with peers was something many Alchemists needed, although it could be somewhat troublesome.
However, knowing that this Feng Yu was someone an elder had introduced, Deacon Song was ready to invest heavily in him.
“Thank you, Deacon Song, but I plan to start crafting pills right now!”
“Now?”
Deacon Song paused for a moment, but seeing Ji Yang nod again, he hurriedly spoke,
“Junior Brother, are you planning to refine the Dropping Dew Pill? How many corresponding spiritual plants do you need?”
“Let’s start with ten!”
Ji Yang thought for a moment and replied.
In fact, he wanted a hundred, but he worried that Alchemy Peak might not have that many spiritual plants and did not want to startle Deacon Song with such a large request.
However, upon hearing Ji Yang’s request, Deacon Song was still quite surprised.
Ten sets of spiritual plants meant Ji Yang needed to refine ten Dropping Dew Pills; even if three sets of materials were free in the first month, he would still have to deliver seven Dropping Dew Pills to the sect.
Given the usual success rate of high-level alchemists and the number of pills produced, these seven Dropping Dew Pills would require at least four successful cauldrons, which was no small feat.
Deacon Song thought about advising him but ultimately decided against it. If he tried to persuade him now, Ji Yang might think he was underestimating him. It would be better to wait until he failed, and then he could use his position as a deacon to help him out with a pill or two.
Helping someone in need is better than adding unnecessary luxury!
“Alright, then Junior Brother, please wait a moment while I send for the spiritual plants.”
With Deacon Song’s Transmission, disciples quickly brought the corresponding spiritual plants for making the Dropping Dew Pill. Ji Yang checked them out and found that these plants were just as vibrant as the ones used in the previous competition. They were evidently freshly picked and their medicinal properties were even stronger!
Ji Yang nodded; as long as the spiritual plants were fine, that was enough.
“Junior Brother Feng, I won’t disturb you any longer. Just return the corresponding spiritual plants by the end of the month.”
“Sure, take care, Senior Brother!”
Once Deacon Song left the Alchemy Room, Ji Yang closed the door and activated the corresponding formations.
“Deacon Song, is this new alchemist asking for ten sets of spiritual plants right away?”
A disciple who had brought the spiritual plants asked, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He had never seen a new alchemist request so many spiritual plants at once.
“Just mind your own business; this is not something you should question!”
Deacon Song said expressionlessly as he left the Alchemy Room, completely lacking the politeness he had shown to Ji Yang.
The disciple dared not ask again, but the news of a newcomer using ten sets of spiritual plants quickly spread throughout Alchemy Peak.
Inside the Alchemy Room, Ji Yang had already taken out the Seven Star Dan Furnace he had acquired.
After using Feng Yu’s blood to unlock it, the furnace showed its unique properties, allowing him to harness the power of the stars during alchemy, increasing his chances of success.
However, this Alchemy Room was not equipped with a skylight, so Ji Yang didn’t pay much attention to this effect.
He then took out the corresponding spiritual plants and continued to refine pills.
With his previous experience in pill crafting, along with his refined furnace-turning skills, he crafted pills with ease.
As for the ground fire in the Alchemy Room, Ji Yang did not use it, as different qualities of ground fire could prolong the melting time of the herbs; using his own Dan fire was faster.
Cultivation points +1
Cultivation points +1
…
As Ji Yang crafted pills, his previously stagnant cultivation points began to rise rapidly.
With each cauldron producing a pill, Ji Yang could harvest two or three cultivation points!
Although it didn’t seem like much, Ji Yang didn’t rest for a day, becoming a humanoid perpetual motion machine!
Meanwhile, during Ji Yang’s alchemy process, news about Feng Yu spread to many places in the Heaven Demon Sect.
The first to hear the news were those disciples who admired Ren Yuning, especially when they found out that this person was brought back by Ren Yuning herself and personally led into the sect.
This sparked curiosity in many, who wanted to see Ji Yang and discover who had gotten ahead of them!
Next came the people from Alchemy Peak; many alchemists were eager to learn that Ji Yang, a newcomer, had claimed ten sets of high-level spiritual plants and started refining pills.
Whether he succeeded or not was another matter, but they were eager to see how many successful cauldrons this talented junior could produce!
After learning where Ji Yang’s Alchemy Room was, many disciples rushed to gather outside the room!
Some cultivators also focused intently, waiting for Ji Yang to finish and preparing to challenge him!
However, due to the isolation of the formations and Ji Yang’s complete immersion in alchemy, he remained unaware of what was happening outside.
