Chapter 219 Honorary Elder
Chapter 219 Honorary Elder
"Are you really an honorary elder of the Alchemist Alliance?" Song Shaokai asked excitedly after carefully examining the token.
The elders of the Alchemist Alliance generally refine pills at a high level and have their own sales channels, rarely selling them in ordinary small shops in the Myriad Pill Workshop.
"What? The token is fake?" Ye Xiaobai asked back.
"Sorry, senior, this token is genuine. You can enjoy treatment that is one-tenth higher than that of ordinary customers!" Song Shaokai quickly explained.
"That's not bad, we can earn an extra tenth! How many spirit stones are these pills worth?"
If Ye Xiaobai can sell a few more spirit stones, which is currently in dire need, it will bring him more joy.
"A total of 19,480 low-grade spirit stones!"
"Not bad!"
Soon, Song Shaokai handed the spirit stone to Ye Xiaobai. Ye Xiaobai scanned it with his divine sense, confirmed that there was no problem, and then put it away.
"Take care, senior!" Song Shaokai said respectfully as Ye Xiaobai had already put away the spirit stones and ended the transaction.
"Are you in such a hurry, kid? I haven't left yet!" Ye Xiaobai teased.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, senior, I thought you had finished the transaction and were leaving!" Song Shaokai quickly bowed his head and apologized.
He then added, "Is there anything else you need, senior?"
"I'm a bit short of spirit stones lately. I wonder which spirit stones are in high demand at the Myriad Pill Workshop. I'd like to refine some pills to sell!"
"So that's how it is. Recently, many alchemists have come to Hong Kong. There is a great demand for pills that enhance spiritual sense, such as the Jade Spirit Condensing Pill. After all, the strength of spiritual sense is extremely important for alchemy."
Song Shaokai explained.
However, pills that enhance spiritual awareness are generally quite expensive, and Song Shaokai himself is reluctant to buy more than a few each month.
"Great! Can you give me twenty portions of materials to refine the Jade Essence Spirit-Condensing Pill? I'll go back and try refining it!" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai decided to refine this kind of pill to make money.
"No problem. Does Senior need this pill formula?" Song Shaokai asked tentatively, after all, the person in front of him was an honorary elder of the Alchemist Alliance, who should have mastered many pill formulas.
"I need it. I've never refined this kind of pill before!"
Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai handed over the spirit stones, took the pill formula and alchemy materials, and left.
With less than a month until the opening of the Pill Tower, Ye Xiaobai decided to take the opportunity to earn some spirit stones and prepare materials for refining his natal magic weapon.
Ye Xiaobai plans to forge a flying sword, which will also suit his current cultivation technique.
Previously at the White Tiger Sect, Ye Xiaobai had already learned that top-grade red gold stone was an extremely suitable material for refining flying swords, but the material cost was around 800,000 spirit stones.
The rest of the time was spent refining pills to exchange for spirit stones.
Three days later, Ye Xiaobai successfully refined six portions of Jade Essence Condensing Spirit Pills.
The Jade Essence Condensing Spirit Pill is, after all, a sixth-grade pill, and this was Ye Xiaobai's first time refining it. The fact that he was able to refine six portions shows that Ye Xiaobai has a wealth of experience in pill refining.
After three days of practice, Ye Xiaobai had basically mastered the refining of the Jade Essence Spirit-Condensing Pill.
Now we can officially begin mass production.
After leaving his residence, Ye Xiaobai went to Miaodanfang in Yuwei Alley.
"Elder Ye is here. Has the pill been refined?" Song Shaokai greeted Ye Xiaobai warmly as soon as he entered the shop.
I've been studying the refining of fifth-grade pills for the past three days. If I can build a good relationship with Elder Ye, he might be able to guide me in refining pills.
Therefore, Song Shaokai showed exceptional enthusiasm for Ye Xiaobai's arrival.
Ye Xiaobai didn't think too much about it, assuming that the cultivators in Hong Kong were just being hospitable.
"I've refined some Jade Essence Spirit-Condensing Pills these past few days, so I'm bringing them here to sell!" Ye Xiaobai calmly took out the pills he had refined over the past few days and handed them to Song Shaokai.
Upon hearing this, Song Shaokai was also taken aback. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected of an honorary elder of the Alchemist Alliance, he mastered the refining of sixth-grade pills in just three days."
After carefully examining the pills and confirming that they were correct, Song Shaokai excitedly said, "Elder Ye, six bottles of Jade Spirit Condensing Pills, totaling 12,000 spirit stones!"
"Plus, Elder Ye is an honorary elder of the Alchemist Alliance, so he can enjoy an extra 10% bonus, making a total of 13,200 low-grade spirit stones. Is that alright, Elder Ye?"
"Great, let's replace them all with materials for refining the Jade Essence Spirit-Condensing Pill!" Ye Xiaobai was preparing for a large-scale pill refining operation.
And so, Ye Xiaobai spent twenty days refining pills, finally accumulating 800,000 spirit stones, at the cost of working day and night.
On this day, Ye Xiaobai finally finished his alchemy practice.
"Elder Ye, are you no longer refining Jade Essence Spirit Gathering Pills? The demand is still quite high recently, especially with many people showing great interest in the mid-grade and high-grade Jade Essence Spirit Gathering Pills!"
Upon learning that Ye Xiaobai had decided to stop refining pills for the time being, Song Shaokai still asked, unwilling to give up.
After spending these days with Elder Ye, Song Shaokai felt that Elder Ye was quite easy to talk to. He had not made any progress in refining fifth-grade pills, so he thought he would find a suitable time to ask Elder Ye for advice.
Now that Elder Ye is about to leave, if I don't ask him for guidance now, I'll miss my chance.
Song Shaokai mustered his courage and said, "Elder Ye, as you know, I am also a fourth-grade alchemist. Recently, I have been learning how to make the fifth-grade pill, the Heavenly Heroic Transformation Pill. However, I keep getting stuck in the pill-condensing process. I asked other alchemists, and they all said it's because I haven't refined enough pills."
"Practicing more will solve the problem, but I always feel there's another reason. I wonder if Elder Ye could enlighten me?"
"Haha, you finally spoke up, kid. I've been smelling the lingering scent of failed pills on you lately, especially the lingering scent of Tianxiong. I thought you could handle it yourself!"
"I didn't expect you to think of me after all!"
"The essential material for refining the Tianxiong Huayuan Pill is Tianxiong, right?"
"Yes!" Song Shaokai nodded quickly in response.
"However, the medicinal properties of Tianxiong are potent, and the young alchemist's spiritual sense is not strong enough to control its power. You should know that pill refining requires considering the roles of the principal, assistant, adjuvant, and adjuvant herbs, right? You can try adding golden and silver rhododendron flowers as an adjuvant to suppress the medicinal power of Tianxiong. This way, there will be no problem with condensing the pill!"
"So that's how it is! Thank you for your guidance, Elder Ye!" Upon hearing this, Song Shaokai immediately understood and expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome. You'll need to do more research on alchemy on your own later!" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile, and then left.
Watching Ye Xiaobai's departing figure, Song Shaokai shouted loudly, "This junior will remember!"
Sure enough, Song Shaokai went home that night and, following Ye Xiaobai's guidance, successfully refined the Heavenly Heroic Transformation Pill.
Before long, he successfully became a fifth-grade alchemist, thus securing his position as a shop assistant at Miaodanfang.
More importantly, Song Shaokai clearly felt that his alchemy skills had entered a new stage.
After Ye Xiaobai left, he successfully bought ** at the market. The materials for refining his natal magic weapon were ready, and the next step was to find time to refine the magic weapon.
However, the day the Pill Tower opened was fast approaching, so Ye Xiaobai immediately went to the nearby Lingmiao Mountain to prepare to enter the Pill Tower for cultivation.
Having heard that the Pill Tower was a spiritual treasure passed down for thousands of years by the Pill Master Alliance, Ye Xiaobai had always been eager to see what it was like.
Now that he could finally see the true face of Mount Lu, Ye Xiaobai was extremely excited.
