The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 88 Delivering the Task
"The Condensing Power Pill, which seeks to harmonize opposing drugs, is no less difficult than some simpler second-grade pills. He has only refined it three times and has been able to rapidly improve his alchemy skills." Frank carefully savored the soul image transmitted by Otto, and continued to admire Xiao Jun's smooth and flowing technique in the third alchemy.

To outsiders, Xiao Jun's actions seemed incredible. However, as a fourth-grade alchemist, Frank could clearly tell these outsiders that even to insiders, his actions were outrageous!
"Actually, he doesn't have to be a fourth-grade alchemist. If he can become a third-grade alchemist, and refine fourth-grade pills at the level of a third-grade alchemist... I will pass on my alchemy skills directly to him. That way, there's no need to worry about my lineage's alchemy skills being buried and being entrusted to the wrong person!"

In fact, his disciple Xue Mei is also a genius, and may even have the potential to become a fifth-grade alchemist, but compared with Xiao Jun, the gap is like the difference between pearls and rubble.

"If you say so... then it's very possible!" Otto nodded in agreement. "It's difficult for a third-grade alchemist to successfully refine a fourth-grade pill, but that kid should be able to do it within ten years."

……

Xiao Jun went straight back to his yard. There was a hustle and bustle outside the yard. The place where Xiao Jun originally rented was actually a relatively remote place in Black Rock City, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people there at this time.

Some came looking for a chance to befriend Xiao Jun, many bearing gifts of medicinal herbs. Some were alchemists, impressed by Xiao Jun's talent, who lived nearby to discuss pharmacology. Still others were businessmen seeking to capitalize on Xiao Jun's popularity.

After a while, this place seems to be a little prosperous.

Xiao Jun was followed by a group of men in black robes. Their steps were in unison, their auras blending harmoniously. They seemed to be proficient in combined attacks. They also wore bronze plaques around their waists, engraved with the symbols of the Alchemist Guild.

"This is a bodyguard from the Alchemist Guild. He's of a very high rank and seems to have the power to do what he wants within the Alchemist Guild."

"It seems that the guild also values Xiao Jun's talent."

"That's not true... With one more alchemist, the guild will earn even more resources. If we add another genius, the value is beyond measure!"

Xiao Jun went straight back to his yard and gave instructions to these men in black robes. These men were assigned by Otto to help Xiao Jun, and they were almost at the level of high-level star fighters.

He just instructed that he would only accept alchemists and those who paid a price to entrust him with alchemy. Alchemists could obtain the power of alchemy formulas and rare materials by accepting alchemy commissions.

After giving the instructions, he went straight back to the room, sealed the restrictions, and filled the room with invisible demons to prevent prying eyes.

He first looked at the Chiyang redwood. With fighting spirit wrapped in his hands, he picked up the Chiyang redwood and observed it carefully.

Fire and wood, blending together in perfect harmony, are truly mysterious. Originally, "fire is born from wood, and disaster is overcome," but now the wood absorbs the fire's power as nutrition, while the power of the yang fire also condenses with the vitality of the wood.

I once used the blood-sucking red lotus fire and the green energy of grass and trees to test it for a while. Its essence is still wood, which can be melted into the interior of the green cauldron of grass and trees.

Just like how a Warcraft's rank-up forms a crystal core, and how Dou Qi condenses into a cyclone upon reaching the Douzhe realm, the Grass and Wood Green Cauldron, as a living being, is currently at the ninth stage of Dou Qi. To advance, it must condense its energy.

The wood grain formation inside was originally a modification of Xiao Jun's own meridians, but it could not condense into a cyclone, and the energy could not be gathered. So Xiao Jun set his sights on the spiritual wood.

"Just like a demon beast condenses a demon core, the wooden tripod also condenses a wooden core... Unfortunately, the wood essence is not of high quality, so condensing it into a wooden core does not suit my plan. Therefore, I will use the spiritual wood as the wooden core of the grass green tripod, gathering energy and wood energy, just like a demon beast core!"

Even the fire nature of the red sun red wood, if handled well, can condense the wood energy of the grass and wood green tripod. According to the theory that wood generates fire, condensing energy can be regarded as a natural thing to do!

It would take some time to analyze the mysteries contained within the Chiyang redwood, but Xiao Jun didn't care.

Next, Xiao Jun bought a large number of medicinal herbs, including those for replenishing qi, maintaining health, and improving realm, as well as various highly poisonous flowers, plants, roots, stems, fruits, etc. He even bought the magic core of a highly poisonous monster.

Highly toxic and affordable! And in large quantities! Xiao Jun bought this with his own money, using the Alchemist Guild Gold Crystal Card. Besides his own earnings of 1.9 million, he also owed 1 million on credit.

The amount of medicinal herbs obtained was like a mountain, and a low-level storage ring was filled with them.

The next task was the Alchemist Guild mission that Xiao Jun accepted, which was to refine the power-storing pill.

The power-charging pill is a pill that all fighter mercenaries need to have in reserve. Taking it temporarily increases one's strength by 10%, which serves as insurance for fighting in dangerous times.

The Power-Storing Pill is difficult to refine and is in great demand. In the Alchemist Guild, the Power-Storing Pill is a task with relatively high value.

For example, the contribution value of a general first-grade Fire Condensation Pill is ten, while the contribution value of a Power Storage Pill is twenty-five.

One hundred contributions could be exchanged for a wealth of knowledge on alchemy, including but not limited to medicinal materials, pharmacological combinations, alchemy principles, and a summary of basic alchemy techniques... It could also be exchanged for some second-tier pill recipes for you to learn. This knowledge was what Xiao Jun desperately needed, and it was also extremely valuable. While it might not contain the core heritage and experience of various schools, this basic knowledge was enough.

This knowledge is also the way the Alchemist Guild wins over alchemists.

If your contribution reaches a higher level, you can even exchange it for learning the third-level pill recipe.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Jun directly intercepted the task of refining thirty power-accumulating pills, with the task to be delivered within a month. Xiao Jun estimated that at least one pill could be refined per day, which should be a normal life for an alchemist!

"Come... let me refine the energy-generating pill first... let's see... it's not that difficult!"

Light the fire and make the elixir!
……

It took Xiao Jun quite a bit of time and effort to refine his first energy-storing pill, and the pill itself was rather crude, but that was normal. Everything is difficult at the beginning!
But once Xiao Jun had a start, he could quickly refine his deductions. He'd directly use big data to frantically increase his experience points, filling up his experience pool! Unless he found a new breakthrough.

On the first day, Xiao Jun directly refined three power-accumulating pills. The reason was simple: Xiao Jun went straight to refine other pills, especially various minor evil pills.

The next day, I was more familiar with the process and directly refined five energy-accumulating pills. Although I felt that I could speed up the process, I just needed to take the time to analyze the Red Sun Redwood.

On the third day, three power-storing pills were refined, and the rest were used to refine the return-to-origin pill and the small evil pill.

On the fourth day, instead of refining the Power-Accumulating Pill, he consumed a lot of the Minor Fierce Pills, and his cultivation level directly reached the level of a three-star Great Fighter. The effect of the Minor Fierce Pills was greatly reduced.

On the fifth day, improve the Xiao Xiong Dan and refine three power-storing pills!

Day 6, Day 7…

On the tenth day, Xiao Jun placed thirty power-charging pills into a crystal box and arranged them randomly. He then called for the escorts from the Alchemist Guild to assist him and directly handed over the task.

After the task was completed, he sold a batch of Fanyuan Pills directly and refined a lot of other pills to make up for the debt of the Jinjing Card, and also purchased a batch of medicinal materials.

After completing the mission, Xiao Jun immediately used all his contribution points to redeem various knowledge. Xiao Jun loves reading and will redeem any knowledge! He also accepted the mission of charging pills again, and also began to accept large quantities of rejuvenation pills and recovery pills.

But after completing the task, Xiao Jun shattered the titanium alloy eyes of a group of first-grade alchemists.

"I work hard to refine the elixir every day, but I can only make one pill a day. I need to restore my soul to ensure the success rate."

"Is alchemy so easy?"

"He delivered thirty pills in ten days. Don't forget, he also refined other pills during this time!"

"We don't need to worry about him. We just need to refine our medicine honestly."

……

At this time, Frank was looking at the documents in front of him, and Otto was still sipping tea as usual.

"The first time I took on the refining of thirty power-storage pills... The second time I directly integrated various pills such as power-storage pills, rejuvenation pills, and recovery pills... There were about a hundred pills, and they were all delivered within a month! Aren't you afraid of mission failure?" Frank said with a smile.

"What's so scary about this? I know his abilities. It's hard for him to fail. Even if he does, he has a lot of gold coins, so it won't be difficult to make up for it!" Otto said leisurely: "Refine over a hundred pills in a month? I don't think he's reached his limit yet!"

"You are confident!"

"I'm old now. For someone like this who's beyond our imagination, we can just bear witness." Otto grumbled as he drank his tea.
"In the future, if this little fellow grows up... I will entrust my alchemy skills to him, and then to Lin Fei... I will have both a pioneer and a successor to my alchemy skills... It's not a loss at all."
