Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 55: Even if the conditions are too good, you will fail (Please read!)
After resting for two days and gathering with fellow disciples who came to provide assistance, Li Ye, who had a clearer understanding of the current situation in Zimo Lin, came to the elders' residence and entered the alchemy room built by the sect there.

Although due to the local environment, there is no earth fire to be introduced, Li Ye has no chance to take advantage of the conditions to refine the second-level elixir.

However, this alchemy room is fully equipped with everything, including firewood and other consumables, so Li Ye doesn't need to worry about it.

Even the alchemy furnace is prepared here.

Compared with the one used by Li Ye, the quality seems to be even better!

This is almost clear, telling the resident alchemist who takes on the task not to worry about anything and just focus on refining the pills to complete the supply mission.

Considering that this place is rich in various spiritual plants, I believe that most of the alchemists who used to be here were immersed in the happiness of refining and improving their skills every day.

As Li Ye was checking the many alchemy instruments here, the female disciple waiting beside him couldn't help but say,
"Brother Li, you've arrived at the perfect time. We previously allocated a batch of elixirs from our inventory to supply other emergency areas, but they're almost gone now. We urgently need more!"

"These are the task lists. The corresponding spiritual medicines will be delivered shortly. Brother, please refine a batch as soon as possible so that we can distribute them to our fellow disciples in case of emergency!"

"Um...no problem."

Li Ye nodded and glanced at the petite female disciple with big eyes.
"Will you be responsible for handing over the spiritual medicine and elixirs to me from now on?"

"That's right... I'm Yu Xiaoshan, the steward of miscellaneous affairs here. I've been assigned by the elders to handle the many miscellaneous alchemy tasks for my senior brother."

Also surnamed Yu?
What's more, what he does is more leisurely and safer than what I do as an alchemist, but it requires a considerable degree of trust.

This woman is most likely related to Elder Yu by blood. Hiss...it seems that the two of them do look somewhat similar.

From this point of view...is she also considered a disciple of the family?
I wonder if those sect disciples dare to provoke her...

Li Ye's eyes moved slightly.

"That's it. Besides the spiritual medicine, you also need to copy down the recipe for the required elixir for me... I can start refining it today!"

"You want the pill recipe too?"

Yu Xiaoshan asked subconsciously, and couldn't help but look at Li Ye twice, a little suspicious.

Could this person be here to get the elixir recipe?
He doesn't even know the recipe for the elixir, so doesn't that mean he has to practice on the supply of elixirs? Can he really complete the task requirements?

If he is really unreliable, instead of relying on this person, it would be better to seek help from Master Luo Dan!

"Is there a problem?"

Li Ye remained calm. As long as he could complete the task, what would it matter if he got the recipe for the pill for free?

Elder Yu would just laugh it off after hearing it, and even valued him more!
Yu Xiaoshan immediately shook her head, "No, I'll arrange it right away!"

She bowed and turned to leave, but she had made up her mind that if Li Ye was not of sufficient use, she would go to Elder Yu to talk to him.

We must not delay important matters!
Watching the girl's departing back, Li Ye withdrew his gaze, walked to the alchemy furnace, and simply took some firewood from the bundles on the other side and started to light the fire to heat it up.

The firewood used here is even the branches that have been trimmed and eliminated from some spiritual trees. The flames they ignite are not only hotter but also quite stable, only slightly inferior to geothermal fire.

The spiritual rice straw that Li Ye had used before could not be compared with it at all.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a major spiritual plant production point, it is so arrogant!
Since I'm free anyway, I might as well refine a furnace of Qi Condensation Pills to warm up the furnace, get familiar with it, and have some fun at the same time.

With Li Ye's current top-level craftsmanship, refining pills like Qi Condensing Pills can be done with ease.

There was no need to weigh them carefully one by one. As the temperature in the furnace changed, he would grab some spiritual rice and various spiritual materials and throw them in from time to time.

As time passed, wisps of fragrance gradually drifted out along the heat flow.

Yu Xiaoshan, who had returned with a collection of elixirs and pill recipes, sniffed the scent and her expression changed slightly as she muttered,

"He hasn't even completed his quota of tasks, yet he's already started refining pills on his own. How could this senior brother be so ignorant of the rules?"

"But this medicinal fragrance doesn't smell burnt at all. This batch of pills must be ready. It seems he does have some skills..."

She quickened her pace and walked straight into the alchemy room, which hadn't even been bothered to close the door. She saw Li Ye sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, contemplating a jade slip carefully. He seemed to be completely oblivious to the elixir being refined in the furnace!

Such a relaxed look immediately made Yu Xiaoshan pause, and she was even more unsure of what Li Ye's approach was.

I couldn't help but silently erase some thoughts of leaving from the bottom of my heart.

"Junior Sister Yu is here?"

Li Ye raised his head and glanced at her, then looked at the alchemy furnace and smiled.

"You've arrived just in time. This furnace of Qi Condensation Pills is now at the right temperature and ready to be taken out..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put away the jade slip, raised his hand and chanted several spells in succession. The furnace mouth suddenly opened, and a hot stream gushed out, with a strong fragrance of elixir.

shhhhh--

Ten pale red pills flew out one after another, rolled into the jade plate, and the spiritual light gradually faded.

In the end, only one turned black, and the remaining nine were all intact.

"Ninety percent success rate?"

The little girl's two big eyes suddenly grew bigger, and her surprised look was quite cute.

She heard that the success rate of Master Luo Dan when refining low-level pills for others was only about 60% to 70%. If he refined medium-level pills, the success rate would be even worse.

This Li Ye can actually reach 90% of the level!

Inferring from this, doesn't it mean that his alchemy skills are at least close to the first-level upper level, and he can steadily produce elixirs that can help cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to improve their cultivation...

Are you even qualified to try refining the Foundation Establishment Pill?!

At this moment, Yu Xiaoshan looked at Li Ye with a little more admiration and enthusiasm in her eyes subconsciously, and she completely forgot the doubt in her heart just now.

Let’s just play around with Master Rodin and the like!

Then she saw Li Ye showing some surprise and looking at her excitedly.
"Huh? There are nine of them! This is unbelievable!"

"Normally, I can only make seven or eight pills at most, and most of them are defective. But today, I made nine at once... Junior Sister, you really are my lucky star!"

This reaction immediately made Yu Xiaoshan look stunned.

Is it just a coincidence?

She quickly shook her head, "Senior Brother's skill is extraordinary, but it has nothing to do with me!"

"This is the first batch of elixirs and the recipe. Brother, please check them first. I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, just call me..."

Having said that, she ran away, not forgetting to close the door.

It seemed as if he was afraid of getting stained even a little bit.

Seeing the woman leave, Li Ye immediately raised his hand to open the restriction of the alchemy room, and then looked at the nine Qi Condensation Pills in the jade plate and felt a little bit amused.
"When I saw this woman coming, I planned to refine a standard pill with a 70% success rate so that she could report it, which would help me control costs and make some profit..."

"It turns out that because the conditions here are so good, even if I refine the pills casually, they will reach the optimal state. I even made mistakes intentionally and successfully made nine pills... Is this possible?!"

Putting away the pill, Li Ye shook his head.

"Forget it! Anyway, the unspoken rules of alchemy are there. Even if he knows I'm making a lot of money, as long as I complete my share of the delivery tasks, Elder Yu will most likely turn a blind eye... But when I accept the alchemy work for others, I have to keep this woman's mouth shut and make other considerations..."

"We'll talk about this later. Let's take a look at the recipe first!"

He rubbed his hands and opened the storage bag left by Yu Xiaoshan.
