I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 29 Alchemy (Seeking monthly votes)
After four days of persistent effort, Chen Jingle's position as a spirit pet master was finally successfully promoted to the intermediate level.

Now he has three mid-tier professions at his disposal.

The main difference between intermediate and low-level spirit pet masters lies in the training of their spirit pets.

Beginner and lower-level students have Beast Breeding Techniques, while intermediate students and above have an additional Beast Taming Technique.

If the beginner and elementary levels are simply about communication and taming, and having a natural ability to control other creatures, then it is only after the intermediate level that spirit pet masters truly embark on the path of beast-taming combat.

For example, knowing how to select spirit pets with better aptitude and potential, and how to make spirit pets stronger, etc.

The little long-haired creature he's raising now is of good quality. If it's nurtured to a certain extent, it might become as powerful as the legendary monsters and spirit beasts.

However, it requires an enormous amount of rare and precious materials, which even the wealthy might not be able to afford, let alone ordinary people.

With his current abilities, he shouldn't even think about it.

"Let's improve our own strength first."

Chen Jingle's idea was very clear.

One's own strength is paramount.

Although he can now be considered to have initially transcended the realm of mortals, he is still far inferior to those who can fly and escape into the earth.

When he can easily venture into remote, untouched mountains to search for all sorts of rare and precious materials without being discovered by outsiders, then it won't be too late to find a way to cultivate a spirit pet.

After all, he's not a dedicated beast tamer.

……

Since none of the three professions could be promoted to the next level for the time being, Chen Jingle decided to take the initiative to try out new professions.

"According to the general setting of cultivation, in addition to these three professions, there are usually alchemy, weapon crafting, formation and talisman making, etc. These should all be considered mainstream professions."

Chen Jingle mobilized my thinking power.

Just as plant masters cultivate spiritual herbs and pet masters cultivate spiritual beasts, alchemists should refine pills, weapon refiners are responsible for magical artifacts, talisman makers draw talismans, and array masters set up arrays and refine array flags.

In addition, there should be some niche professions, such as puppeteers.

That's how it should be in theory, but I don't know for sure.

Another question is, what kind of profession is the Hehuan Sect?

After careful consideration, Chen Jingle decided to focus on alchemy first.

Anyway, we have to learn it, the difference in time is at most four or five days.

"Alchemy, alchemy... take a look at this."

Chen Jingle found an ancient book about alchemy online.

[New class triggered: Alchemist.]

【Characteristic: Harmony with the Dao. Medicine only takes form when it encounters a similar qi; harmony with the Dao is natural. Various elixir refining methods and special elixir enhancement effects can be obtained, the specifics depending on the level.】

Should I choose to change jobs and advance my career?

"really!"

Chen Jingle's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed to the job transfer and promotion.

As he guessed, the system panel did not have a high barrier to entry for changing to a new profession.

However, from the time he awakened until now, the first three professions he pursued were all passively triggered. He was already so busy advancing through those three professions that he had no time to spare and simply didn't have the energy to spend on developing new career paths.

The first three professions have already reached the intermediate level, and it will take some time before they reach the next level. There's no use rushing it.

Therefore, we have to consider horizontal expansion.

As long as he learns enough, his overall abilities will naturally improve accordingly.

After this success, you can now proactively choose your future career path.

By making a proactive choice, you can at least prioritize those that interest you.

After switching to alchemy, many pill formulas and secret techniques instantly appeared in my mind.

However, most of the medicinal materials needed are either legendary or have never been heard of, or require extremely specific age requirements.

In short, most of them are not suitable for his current level.

hiss~
Chen Jingle took a deep breath. "Does this have to be so difficult?"

He didn't say he wanted to take a shortcut with elixirs.

I just wanted to learn how to refine pills, but as soon as I started, I felt like my path was almost completely blocked.

It’s hard to resist!

"Fortunately, I intended from the beginning to improve my strength honestly through cultivation."

Chen Jingle breathed a sigh of relief.

……

So, are there any pill formulas that have the necessary materials in reality?
Naturally there is.

For example, basic elixirs such as the Beauty Elixir, the Yang-Nourishing Elixir, and the Qi-Gathering Elixir.

While the beauty-enhancing pills may sound like they have exaggerated effects, in reality... they are indeed quite exaggerated.

Judging from the description of the effects alone, it is much more powerful than ordinary cosmetics and medical aesthetic treatments.

After all, it acts directly on the body, and the side effects are negligible.

More importantly, the medicinal materials are mostly common ones, with only a few main ingredients and medicinal guides being relatively precious, but they are still much easier to find than things like the Extreme Yin Mystic Ice Grass.

Everyone knows how profitable cosmetics are. If you could make this and keep it, you could become a super-rich person in no time.

Even though he doesn't have a strong need for money now, he couldn't help but be tempted.

The same applies to Yunyang Dan.

The so-called "Yun Yang" is something you understand.

In the domestic market alone, this sector, encompassing traditional Chinese medicine, health supplements, and Western medicine, exceeds 1500 billion yuan in size. The combined sales of sildenafil and tadalafil alone exceed 30 billion yuan annually.

Not to mention the huge overseas market.

For men, the inability to perform despite their efforts is not a health issue, but a matter of dignity.

The final Qi Gathering Pill is what is used in conjunction with cultivation.

However, thanks to the existence of the system panel, Chen Jingle usually gains 1 experience point per minute during his cultivation. Once he has enough experience, he levels up and never considers anything else.

Even the essence of heaven and earth, such as Moon Dew, only adds 1 point of extra attribute.

Elixirs? It doesn't matter whether you have them or not.

Moreover, the Qi Gathering Pill is only effective for beginners and low-level Qi cultivators, and has little effect on intermediate and higher-level cultivators. Therefore, it is classified as a basic pill and is not difficult to obtain.

This is not high; it is only relative to other elixirs, such as the Marrow Cleansing Elixir and the Primordial Chaos Elixir.

"No wonder all pills that can enhance strength have such demanding refining conditions. Ultimately, it's because there are too many people who want to take shortcuts that things like alchemy have emerged."

Chen Jingle shook his head secretly.

Think back to those protagonists in online novels who rely on pills to quickly improve their strength and break through realms, and are known as "drug-consuming protagonists." If they weren't protagonists and didn't have the protagonist's halo, they probably would have had an unstable foundation long ago.

How could one be invincible among those of the same level, or even challenge those of higher levels, and dominate all sides?

That's completely unreasonable!

After thinking it over, Chen Jingle decided to try the Qi Gathering Pill first.

As for why it wasn't a beauty-enhancing pill or a yang-nourishing pill...

He doesn't have those two needs right now, and he probably won't in the future either. Changqing Gong can ensure that all aspects of his physical functions remain at their peak.

If the Qi Gathering Pill is successfully refined, the other two types of pills will naturally follow.

The key problem now is that we don't have a furnace for alchemy.

"Am I also going to learn from others and use a new energy alchemy furnace to refine pills?" Chen Jingle frowned.

It's not that it's impossible!
However, it's difficult to control the heat when using a rice cooker for alchemy.

Let's stick to using a gas stove; it's a bit easier to control.

However, before that, let's figure out how to get a pill-making furnace first.
