Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Posting a Mission
No matter how many batches of pills he refined, Fang Yun always liked to summarize the experience.
It was just that his summaries beca shorter and shorter, and took less and less ti.
This ti, with the second batch of Qi Enhancent Pills, Fang Yun once again broke his personal best.
One Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pill and five Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills.
Next ca the most difficult part of Alchemy: refining all the Qi Enhancent Pills to Upper Grade.
’A large amount of good-quality Spirit dicine, and a small amount of excellent-quality Spirit dicine.’
After laying out the Spirit dicine, Fang Yun prepared to refine his third batch of Qi Enhancent Pills.
He was getting closer and closer to the perfect refining of Qi Enhancent Pills. If he used the current Spirit dicines to produce six Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills, it still wouldn’t be considered a perfect refinent.
He would need to replace the small amount of excellent-quality Spirit dicine with good-quality ones.
As for using all poor-quality Spirit dicine, as long as he reached the upper limit of what the dicine could produce, that could also be called a perfect refinent.
Whether it was Qi Nourishing Pills or Cyan Jade Pills, having refined hundreds of batches, Fang Yun had clearly already reached the corresponding standard.
"Not bad."
When the results of this third batch ca out, Fang Yun nodded. It was the sa as the second batch.
This was the first ti he had refined three consecutive batches of Qi Enhancent Pills.
Previously, he would refine two batches at most, which would take nearly a full day. Afterward, it was best to rest and then tend to his Spirit dicine.
Now, he could focus on a single task for much longer, as long as he had the energy.
With this batch of Qi Enhancent Pills finished, he could now go and turn in his Alchemy task.
After completing an Alchemy task, a new one would usually be issued one or two days later. So far, Fang Yun had only ever encountered one instance where it took three days.
「Inside the Dan Cloud Pavilion.」
Fang Yun had arrived.
"Senior Sister Wang." Seeing Wang Yourong this ti, Fang Yun imdiately went over and called out.
He hadn’t seen Wang Yourong for over a month.
"Oh, it’s Junior Brother Fang. Here to turn in your Alchemy task?"
"That’s right."
"Let
see your task... You need to turn in twenty Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pills."
Fang Yun quickly took out two Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pills and nine Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills.
This Alchemy task was the sa as before; after turning in enough Qi Enhancent Pills, he would also receive twenty-five Contribution Points.
Right now, he only had three Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pills, so he had to substitute with Upper Grade ones.
"Nine Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills!" Wang Yourong’s voice couldn’t help but rise a few notches as she stared at the pills on the table.
"Junior Brother Fang, are you out of Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pills?"
"I have one left, and Lower Grade pills can’t be used as a substitute for Middle Grade ones, so this was my only option," Fang Yun added as a simple explanation.
Putting all this information together, Wang Yourong could deduce that whenever Fang Yun refined Qi Enhancent Pills now, he must be producing at least four Upper Grade pills per batch.
She naturally understood that in the later stages of mastering Alchemy, an increase in the number of Upper Grade pills would cause the previously decreasing number of Lower Grade pills to start increasing again. This would be followed by a decrease in Middle Grade pills, until finally, one achieved Perfection.
Wang Yourong always felt that Fang Yun’s Alchemy Talent was a source of constant surprise.
"Junior Brother, tell , can the difficulty of your Alchemy tasks increase any further?" Wang Yourong asked about the specific details of Fang Yun’s agreent with the Elder while recording his submission.
She had never actually asked about this in detail before.
"After refining one hundred batches of Qi Enhancent Pills, I’ll need to turn in three pills per batch. That’s the highest difficulty," Fang Yun replied.
"Three Upper Grade pills per batch... Among the current disciples, only you, Junior Brother, would agree to such terms with an Elder."
Wang Yourong had thought that six Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pills was the peak, but she never expected it to be three Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills.
The two might seem similar, but they represented two completely different levels of difficulty.
For the difficulty of six Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pills, there were still so disciples in the sect with Alchemy Talent, besides Fang Yun, who could et that requirent after a hundred batches.
Unless six Middle Grade Qi Enhancent Pills could be submitted as a substitute for three Upper Grade ones, then that would be a different situation.
"With my Five Spirit Roots, if I don’t perform better, I can’t get so many resources." Fang Yun felt that he was actually quite fortunate.
"That’s true," Wang Yourong nodded, then continued, "The Elder’s judgnt is truly exceptional."
To be able to offer such terms ant that Elder Bai Heyan’s judgnt of Fang Yun’s Alchemy Talent was far more accurate than hers.
One look at the results of Fang Yun’s Alchemy was enough to know. He hadn’t even refined a hundred batches yet, but he had already t the conditions far ahead of schedule.
And the extra Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills were, of course, all used by Fang Yun for his own Cultivation.
If this continued, Fang Yun’s Cultivation would surpass hers sooner or later.
’Junior Brother Fang probably won’t reach the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining faster than I did, but he’ll reach the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining sooner than .’
Wang Yourong thought for a mont. When Fang Yun’s Cultivation surpassed hers, she would have to start calling him Senior Brother.
Fang Yun chatted with Wang Yourong in the Dan Cloud Pavilion for a while longer before leaving.
After refining three consecutive batches of Qi Enhancent Pills, he had consud a great deal of ntal energy.
Upon returning to his residence, Fang Yun boiled so Purple Corn and then began to rest. After that, it was ti for his Cultivation.
Afterward, he also planned to add a few more Upper Grade Magical Artifacts to his collection. Once his Artifact Refining talent upgraded to four stars, the magical artifacts he created would be more versatile. For instance, he could forge a Profound Iron Shield using Upper Grade Profound Iron as the main material, and a Yellow Iron Sword using Upper Grade Yellow Iron. He could also modify the auxiliary materials for them, which would allow him to handle a wider variety of situations.
The four-star Artifact Refining talent gave Fang Yun more ideas and possible combinations for refining Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.
For an Artifact Refiner, a sudden spark of inspiration could sotis lead to the creation of an unexpected Magical Artifact.
「About two weeks later.」
「In the Disciple Marketplace.」
Having returned to the Disciple Marketplace, Fang Yun once again strolled through it.
"Junior Brother Fang, what kind of Demon Beast materials are you looking for?" a stall-owning senior brother asked very enthusiastically when he saw Fang Yun approaching.
By now, Fang Yun was a well-known figure in the Disciple Marketplace. In his mory, it had been a long ti since he’d had to introduce himself.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for him.
"Senior Brother, I need the abdominal fluid of Sulfur Ants. Do you happen to have any?"
"Don’t have that," the stall-owning senior brother said, shaking his head.
Conversations like this had already happened many tis.
This ti, too, he failed to find the materials he needed.
’Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to the Task Hall.’
After two fruitless trips to the Disciple Marketplace, Fang Yun decided to go to the Task Hall and post a corresponding task.
At the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Task Hall, one could freely accept tasks or post them.
There were no assigned tasks there.
Assigned tasks only appeared in places like the Dan Cloud Pavilion, the Artifact Pavilion, or the Spirit Field Institute, or when the sect specifically sent a Steward over to issue one.
Many of the tasks in the Task Hall required one to venture outside the sect. The disciples who posted tasks were usually like Fang Yun, engaged in internal sect affairs.
It was worth ntioning that the Task Hall was not very far from the Disciple Marketplace.
The sect had likely arranged it this way intentionally for the convenience of the disciples.
