I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 4: The Pill
"Of course we have some. How much do you need?"

Shopkeeper Liu raised his eyelids and looked at Song Jie meaningfully.

Anyone who has some knowledge of herbal medicine basically understands the uses of the medicinal herb Epimedium.

Even a layman can roughly guess something from the name alone.

I didn't expect that this young man in front of me, at such a young age, is already using this thing.

Song Jie didn't pay attention to Manager Liu's look and said without thinking:
“Give me a pound of epimedium.

“In addition, I also need black aconite root, cnidium monnieri, alkyl oxyphylla, and liquorice.

"All of these, one pound each."

"Sigh~"

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but gasp. Almost all of the things they wanted were hard goods!

Could it be that this young man is failing at such a young age?
Shopkeeper Liu thought to himself and quickly helped Song Jie pack the necessary medicinal materials.

When he opens a shop and does business, he sells whatever the customers want to buy.

Although he was a little curious about Song Jie's physical condition, Manager Liu was very polite and pretended not to know the effects of these medicinal herbs.

After taking out another spirit stone and handing it to Shopkeeper Liu, Song Jie did not stay any longer and walked out of the herbal medicine store holding several large bags of medicinal herbs.

It has been nearly a month since I traveled to this place. After observing for this period of time and combining it with the memories of the original owner.

Song Jie discovered that although he could make a little money just by selling fasting pills, it would be difficult to make a fortune.

What matters in cultivating immortals are Dharma, wealth, companions and land.

Among them, "wealth" ranks second, which shows its importance.

Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible.

This wise saying applies in any world.

So Song Jie decided to go back to his old job and refine some elixirs that would be popular among men and would probably be liked by women as well.

after all……

He is good, and so am I.

Since he was not sure about the demand for that kind of elixir in the world of immortal cultivation, Song Jie did not buy too many medicinal materials.

I plan to refine a batch first, observe the market reaction, and then make further plans.

After returning to his residence, Song Jie first threw the herbs on the table, then his mind moved and his eyes turned to the attribute panel that appeared in front of him.

【Name: Song Jie】

【Shouyuan: 28/80】

[Spiritual roots: wood, fire, earth, metal, water]

[Realm: Qi Refining Stage 82 (100/)]

[Kung Fu: Changchun Kung Fu (Proficiency 282/300)]

[Spells: Finger of the Sun (Skilled 183/300), Dragon Claw (Skilled 137/300)]

[Animal Skills: None]

[Supernatural power: none]

[Skill: Alchemy (Ungraded): Bigu Pill (Minor Success 472/600)]

[Skill points: 11 points (can be used to improve the proficiency of skills, spells, body movements, magical powers, and techniques)]

During this period, Song Jie refined the Bigu Pill during the day and practiced the Changchun Gong at night.

Compared to a month ago, my proficiency in Changchun Gong and Bigu Dan has improved slightly.

"Not counting the 5 skill points that increased my proficiency, my proficiency in Changchun Kungfu increased by 2 points.

“The proficiency of Bigu Pill has increased by 4 points, 2 points more than Changchun Gong.

“Since I didn’t have time to practice One Finger of Sun and Dragon Claw Hand, my proficiency level is the same as it was a month ago.

“The skill points increased from 5 to 11, an increase of 6 points, and the proficiency also increased by 6 points.

"It seems that the proficiency gained through practice will be fed back into the skill points."

Song Jie thought for a moment, then revealed a hint of regret.

"It would be great if the proficiency gained through skill points could be fed back into skill points."

He smiled and shook his head.

Song Jie knew that this was obviously impossible, unless there was a bug in the attribute panel. After discovering that obtaining skill points was not as difficult as he had imagined, Song Jie used all 11 skill points to improve his proficiency in Changchun Gong without hesitation.

Among the skills and spells he has mastered so far, only the proficiency of Changchun Gong is not far from the next level.

For Song Jie, the most important things now are two things.

One is to earn spirit stones, and the other is to improve your cultivation.

However, the Bigu Pill is just a low-quality pill, and it is a waste to use skill points to improve proficiency.

So he decided to improve his proficiency in Changchun Gong first, so as to speed up his cultivation and break through to the third level of Qi Refining Stage as soon as possible.

Only cultivators at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage can attempt to refine a first-grade elixir.

If one can successfully refine a first-grade elixir, he can be called a first-level alchemist.

This is Song Jie’s current goal, to become a first-level alchemist.

This would not only improve his status and position, but also allow him to earn a large amount of spirit stones by selling real elixirs.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that he must first improve his cultivation and break through to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

After collecting his scattered thoughts, Song Jie focused his attention on the column of exercises.

As a thought flashed through his mind, his 11 skill points instantly returned to zero and were converted into proficiency in Changchun Kung Fu.

[Kung Fu: Changchun Kung Fu (Proficiency 293/300)]

“Next, continue to refine the Bigu Pill.

"Then refine it..."

The corners of Song Jie's mouth gradually curled up, and after a few lewd laughs, he opened the medicinal materials that had been thrown on the table one by one.

Select the medicinal materials that need to be dried, put them into a dustpan, and take them outside to dry.

Then he stuffed the firewood into the stove and prepared to make a fire to roast the sesame seeds.

After nearly ten days of hard work, Song Jie finally completed the refining of the Bigu Pill.

Looking at the twenty bottles of fasting pills neatly placed on the chopping board, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

"If all these fasting pills are sold, another four spirit stones will be earned."

He had previously given Li Caiwei one spirit stone as stall fee, then spent three spirit stones on buying medicinal herbs, plus he paid another spirit stone for rent a few days ago.

The number of spirit stones in Song Jie's pocket had dropped from nine to four.

Resisting the urge to go to the stall to sell fasting pills, Song Jie turned his attention to the plates of processed medicinal powder on the table.

"Next, start refining the Budao Pill."

Song Jie raised the corner of his mouth, stuck out his tongue and swirled it around his mouth, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

All the medicinal materials for refining the Budao Pills had been processed during the time he was refining the Qigong Pills.

Now everything is ready, all we have to do is draw the bow and shoot the arrow.

"Black aconite root 1.2g, Cnidium monnieri 3g, Epimedium 3g, Alpinia oxyphylla 2g, Licorice root 1.2g."

Weigh the processed medicinal powder on the table and take out the corresponding amount.

Pour into the pot and stir-fry over low heat. When the medicinal aroma comes out, add the boiled honey and continue to stir-fry.

Song Jie is already very skilled in the process of refining honey into pills.

After a while, three round-colored pills, the Budaowan, were neatly placed on the chopping board.

Song Jie stretched out his hand, picked up a pill, put it to his nose and took a deep breath, a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

"This smell is a bit strong!"

After just smelling it for a while, Song Jie had a vague feeling of wanting to do something.

He was sure that this was definitely the most powerful pill he had ever made.

The pills he had made before were of relatively mild nature and needed to be taken twice a day for a period of time before they could truly achieve the effect of warming the kidneys and strengthening the yang.

“Maybe it’s because this is a world of immortality, even ordinary medicinal herbs have some spiritual energy in them.

"So the effect of the Budao Pills that we refine will be stronger than before."

After a little thought, Song Jie put the pill in his hand to his mouth, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Would you like to try one and see the effect?"
