Chapter 113: Chapter 113: New Task
「Mid-November.」
Dan Cloud Peak, Dan Cloud Pavilion.
Fang Yun had co here to accept his next Alchemy task.
By now, he had accepted the task to refine Qi Enhancent Pills more than twenty tis, and the number of batches he’d refined exceeded one hundred.
For the current Qi Enhancent Pill refining task, he was required to turn in fifteen Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills.
As early as the end of last month, Fang Yun had been able to perfectly refine Qi Enhancent Pills. When using all high-quality Spirit dicines, he could produce six Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills.
Around that ti, he had also gone to the Disciple Marketplace to purchase so Spirit dicine. He used these, along with the Qi Nourishing Grass he had on hand, to refine Qi Enhancent Pills.
He tried refining a batch of Qi Enhancent Pills using only inferior-quality Spirit dicines to see what the result would be under his perfect refining technique.
The result was the sa as with the Cyan Jade Pill: three Upper Grade, one Middle Grade, and two Lower Grade pills.
Based on this outco, Fang Yun concluded that the properties of the Cyan Jade Pill and the Qi Enhancent Pill were similar, and they yielded the sa number of pills.
"Steward, I’m here to accept an Alchemy task."
"Ah, Fang Yun. Just a mont... Here is your task for this ti."
Fang Yun took the task and saw it was no longer for refining Qi Enhancent Pills, but for Rejuvenation Pills instead.
The Rejuvenation Pill was a dicinal pill used for healing. If injured in battle, taking a Rejuvenation Pill had a good effect of temporarily stabilizing injuries. It could heal damage caused by the power of late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators and was suitable for any Cultivator below the Peak of Qi Refining.
As for Cultivators at the Peak of Qi Refining, it was unlikely they would be hard by the power of a late-stage Qi Refining expert.
Elder Bai Heyan had said that after Fang Yun completed one hundred batches for the Qi Enhancent Pill refining task, he would be assigned tasks for other types of pills. It seed that ti had co.
For refining other pills, he was like everyone else: all refined pills had to be turned in, and he would receive rewards based on different tiers depending on what he submitted.
Even if he failed to produce anything and ended up with only Wasted Pills, there was still a baseline reward.
Fang Yun glanced at the five tiers of rewards.
The baseline reward was four Sect Contribution Points per batch, which was one Contribution Point less than what he got for refining a batch of Qi Enhancent Pills.
One set of Spirit dicine for refining Rejuvenation Pills could yield a maximum of five pills.
If he could refine five Lower Grade Rejuvenation Pills, he would receive ten Contribution Points plus a reward of three Lower Grade Spirit Stones. This was the second-tier reward.
The task sheet also noted that one Middle Grade Rejuvenation Pill was equivalent to three Lower Grade Rejuvenation Pills.
This was different from the Qi Enhancent Pill, Cyan Jade Pill, and Qi Nourishing Pill.
It was a different category of pill.
"Steward, I need to purchase a Pill Formula for the Rejuvenation Pill," Fang Yun said imdiately after accepting the task.
The Alchemy task didn’t co with the Pill Formula; disciples had to buy it themselves. Fortunately, the sect’s Pill Formulas weren’t expensive.
Fang Yun had accumulated a decent amount of Sect Contribution Points by now, so he planned to use them to buy the Pill Formula directly.
"Spirit Stones or Contribution Points?" the Steward asked.
"Contribution Points." As he replied, Fang Yun placed his Identity Token on the desk.
"One Rejuvenation Pill Pill Formula costs fifty-two Contribution Points."
The Rejuvenation Pill Pill Formula was cheaper than the one for the Qi Enhancent Pill. Fang Yun rembered spending over sixty Lower Grade Spirit Stones when he bought the Qi Enhancent Pill Pill Formula.
The Steward was quick.
Before long, Fang Yun received the Pill Formula for the Rejuvenation Pill, and his Token was returned.
He didn’t bother to inspect the primary and supplentary Spirit dicines for the Rejuvenation Pill. Seeing that the Steward had given him five sets was enough; the key was the refining process detailed in the Pill Formula.
Originally, Fang Yun’s plan for the day was to accept a Qi Enhancent Pill refining task and then refine the pills.
Now, he would have to go back and thoroughly study the Rejuvenation Pill Pill Formula first.
This was a small change to today’s plan. Tomorrow’s plan remained the sa for now; he needed to spend ti refining and absorbing two Upper Grade Qi Enhancent Pills.
The refining of the Rejuvenation Pills would have to wait until the day after tomorrow.
「Two days later, in the afternoon.」
Fang Yun was already in a high-level Alchemy Room he had rented.
The number of supplentary Spirit dicines needed for the Rejuvenation Pill was one less than for the Qi Enhancent Pill.
The entire refining process consisted of thirteen major steps, also one major step less than the Qi Enhancent Pill.
This ant that the difficulty of refining Rejuvenation Pills was slightly lower than that of refining Qi Enhancent Pills.
The Rejuvenation Pill and the Qi Enhancent Pill were of the sa level, and the primary Spirit dicine used for both was Tier One, Upper Grade.
’They’re all superior-grade Spirit dicines. The Elder is treating
quite well.’
Fang Yun couldn’t help but think this as he laid out the primary and supplentary Spirit dicines for the Rejuvenation Pill.
He now not only possessed a four-star Alchemy Talent but also had extensive experience refining pills of the sa level as the Rejuvenation Pill. On top of that, all the Spirit dicines were of superior quality.
Fang Yun was quite excited to see the results of his first batch of Rejuvenation Pills.
He might even be able to produce Middle Grade Rejuvenation Pills right away.
Fang Yun adjusted his mindset to its optimal state, ntally reviewed all the steps for refining the Rejuvenation Pill one last ti, and then began.
The primary Spirit dicine for the Rejuvenation Pill was only involved in two major steps of the refining process, which also subtly lowered the difficulty.
As ti went on, Fang Yun steadily refined the pills.
Eleven hours and fifteen minutes later,
Fang Yun’s first batch of Rejuvenation Pills was finally complete.
The mont the pills ca out of the furnace, Fang Yun eagerly checked his results.
"Three Lower Grade Rejuvenation Pills and one Middle Grade Rejuvenation Pill! Excellent!"
Fang Yun was very satisfied with the results of his first batch of Rejuvenation Pills. It was a worthy outco for the quality of the Spirit dicines, his talent, and the experience he had accumulated.
With his very first batch of Rejuvenation Pills, he had already surpassed the baseline reward.
There were still four more batches of Rejuvenation Pills to refine. The quality of the Spirit dicine for all of them was the sa—all superior grade.
"I should aim for the third-tier reward as well."
If he could produce three Middle Grade Rejuvenation Pills from a single batch, he would earn the third-tier reward.
In addition to sixteen Contribution Points, it also ca with a reward of seven Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
Fang Yun placed the four Rejuvenation Pills and one Wasted Pill into a small porcelain bottle. Pills from the sa batch had to be stored together to make it easier for the Steward to inspect them when the task was submitted.
After summarizing the experience he’d gained from refining the Rejuvenation Pills, Fang Yun quickly began his second batch.
Refining a batch of Rejuvenation Pills was generally forty-five minutes shorter than refining Qi Enhancent Pills.
Including the ti it took to review his experience, Fang Yun could refine two batches in a day. It was best for him not to run over ti today, as Steward Zhou was not the one on duty outside these days.
By the ti Fang Yun was ready to submit the Rejuvenation Pill task, it was already late November.
In total, he had refined five batches of Rejuvenation Pills.
For the first three batches, he earned the second-tier reward. For the last two, his reward reached the third tier.
His best result was, naturally, the fifth batch, from which he produced three Middle Grade Rejuvenation Pills while the remaining two were Lower Grade. The batch before it had yielded two fewer Lower Grade pills.
