I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 1 You are fired

“That’s the situation.

"In short, due to the business adjustment of Baodan Building, you are fired."

what?
I just traveled through time and I’m already unemployed?

Song Jie looked at the fat man with a big belly in front of him with a confused look on his face, and his brain temporarily lost the ability to think.

He was originally an alchemy blogger on Douyin, and his fans called him the Sect Master, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.

When shooting a video, he swallowed a new elixir that he had made. In a burst of heat, his breathing gradually became rapid.

Then his eyes went dark, and when he opened them again, he found that he had traveled through time.

The body he traveled through was originally owned by Song Jie, a casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who worked at the Baodan Building in Xinyuefang City, responsible for refining the Bigu Pill.

The extremely high intensity of alchemy work gradually destroyed the original owner's body, and he eventually died suddenly in his sleep. Then Song Jie traveled through time and became the new owner of this body.

It was not yet noon. After receiving the original owner's memories, Song Jie had planned to go to Baodan Building to work as usual according to the original owner's life pattern to avoid being discovered to be abnormal.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Baodan Building, I received a notice that I was fired.

Is the economy of the immortal cultivation world also in recession?
As soon as I came here, I encountered a large-scale layoff, and there was not even N+1 compensation.

The corner of Song Jie's mouth twitched, and he felt as if he was living in a dream.

Until now, he has not fully adapted to his new identity and seems to still be in the perspective of an audience and has not really gotten into it.

Seeing Song Jie looking "at a loss", the obese man felt sorry for him and sighed:
"Well, after all, you have been refining pills with me in Baodan Building for ten years, so I will help you one last time.

“Although the business has been adjusted and the sales of Bigu Pills have been reduced by half, the demand for Bigu Pills in the market will not decrease.

“In the next month, you can make some fasting pills by yourself, and I will help you sell them in Baodan Building.

"As for the commission, I don't want it either. All the spiritual stones earned will belong to you. After a month, you can make a living on your own."

Song Jie came back to his senses, looked at the fat man in front of him, nodded solemnly, and bowed to express his gratitude.

According to the original owner's memory, the fat man was named Bao Xu, and he was a manager of Baodan Building.

Ten years ago, it was Bao Xu who recruited Song Jie into Baodan Building and taught him how to refine the Bigu Pill.

During these ten years, Song Jie's daily job was to refine the Bigu Pills, and he only knew how to refine the Bigu Pills.

It’s a pity that the Bigu Pill is ultimately a low-quality pill with extremely low profits, and is usually sold in large quantities.

After years of development, Baodan Building has trained several first-class alchemists and can finally produce first-grade elixirs stably.

So he decided to cut the business of fasting pills in half and instead invest more resources in refining first-grade pills to gain more profits.

Since Song Jie had very poor talent, he had only learned how to refine fasting pills in the past ten years. He was not worth training and naturally became one of the candidates to be fired.

After leaving Baodan Building, Song Jie gradually adapted to this new identity and accepted the fact that he was unemployed.

"Ugh……"

The sudden time travel, coupled with the sudden unemployment, made Song Jie feel a little melancholy.

"The most urgent thing now is to solve the problem of survival."

From the original owner's memory, Song Jie knew very clearly that the original owner was a member of the Moonlight Clan and only left him a deposit of five spirit stones.

The house he rented in Xinyuefang City cost one spirit stone per month, and the day to pay the rent was approaching.

After paying the rent, there were four spirit stones left, and he had to reserve one spirit stone for daily expenses for the next month.

In other words, he currently has only three spirit stones at his disposal.

Although the deposit of five spirit stones is enough to support him for two and a half months, what will happen after all the spirit stones are spent?

So, after some analysis, Song Jie suddenly realized that this was truly a critical moment for survival.

The longer the time drags on, the fewer spirit stones he has at his disposal, and the slimmer his chances of survival.

The chance of survival lies in the Baodan Building behind him. Bao Xu promised to help him for a month so that he can sell the Bigu Pills in the Baodan Building.

Of course, this can only solve the immediate problem, not a long-term solution. After a simple calculation, Song Jie had a rough plan in mind.

After deducting rent and daily expenses, the remaining three spirit stones were all used to buy the raw materials for the Bigu Pill.

After refining the pill, sell it with the help of Baodan Building in exchange for more spirit stones.

At the same time, over the next month, I will get familiar with this world and look for other opportunities to make a living in the market.

Although he received the memories of the original owner, it was not a personal experience after all. Song Jie still had a relatively abstract concept of this world of cultivation.

He needs further contact to have a deeper understanding so that he can make other arrangements.

Song Jie stopped where he was, recalling the recipe of the fasting pill from the original owner's memory.

"Polygonatum, sesame, honey, ginseng, yam, Poria, asparagus, white atractylodes, black beans...

"Fortunately, they are all common and mundane things."

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Song Jie found himself laughing and shook his head.

"The Bigu Pill is just a low-grade pill. Naturally, it is impossible to use those rare treasures of heaven and earth. I don't know what I am worried about."

Following the instructions in his memory, Song Jie quickly found the herbal medicine store.

After a lot of bargaining, Song Jie spent three spirit stones, hugged several large bags of herbs, and walked out of the herbal medicine store contentedly.

Although from the information obtained from the memory, the original owner was a complete loser, but he was not really useless.

At least he was very familiar with the prices of the raw materials for the Bigu Pills, so Song Jie quickly saw through the conspiracy of the pharmacy owner.

After a lot of negotiation, I finally bought the medicinal materials at a lower price.

Since he was carrying medicinal herbs worth three spirit stones, Song Jie was afraid that a vicious man would suddenly jump out and snatch all the herbs from him.

So he jogged all the way and returned to the rented house safely.

It is called a house, but in fact it is just a small room made of loess and wooden boards.

Inside was a one-meter-wide wooden bed, a dark square wooden table covered in oil stains, and a round wooden stool of the same color placed next to it.

In the corner stood a shabby wooden wardrobe with doors that didn't even close tightly. A copper-yellow washbasin with many dents was casually thrown aside, with a stained sweat towel draped over the washbasin.

In the corner of the other side, there was a simple stove with a large iron pot on it. Some kitchen utensils and seasonings were scattered around it. Next to the stove were two water tanks, one large and one small.

In the memory Song Jie obtained, the two water tanks, the big tank was filled with water, and the small tank was filled with rice.

If I remember correctly, the rice in the rice jar should be almost empty.

"I don't know if this counts as being penniless..."

Song Jie smiled bitterly and did not rush to start refining the elixir.

After throwing the herbs in his arms onto the wooden table, he thought about it and then looked at the panel that appeared out of thin air in front of him.
