Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"The elixir has a rich, lingering aroma, but its luster and color are incomplete; only half contains medicinal power, while the other half is just waste..."

Lu Feng collected the three small, bluish-black pills from the bottom of the furnace into his palm, brought them to his nose, and sniffed them briefly. Then, he frowned slightly. "Damn it! Could it be that I'm really not suited to be an alchemist...?"

Although this batch of Soul-Evolving Pills did not explode and still produced a medicinal aroma, the final quality greatly disappointed Lu Feng.

After all, a high-quality Soul-Evolving Pill not only has a bright, clear blue luster, but its surface is also likely to be smooth like jade, without a single bump.

In contrast, the Soul-Evolving Pills refined by Lu Feng were not only of mixed colors, with alternating shades of blue and black, but also had a few small bumps on the surface that were not easily visible to the naked eye. Clearly, the quality was not high and the medicinal materials were also unsatisfactory.

It should be noted that Lu Feng not only possesses a fragment of the Medicine King's Manual, ensuring that his pill formulas are virtually error-free, but he also has the fourth-grade furnace cauldron "Dragon Pattern Cloud-Swallowing Cauldron" to assist him, greatly reducing the difficulty of controlling the fire and fusing pills. Furthermore, he has no shortage of medicinal herbs and demon core resources needed for alchemy.

However, even with so many advantages, Lu Feng could only barely refine a batch of half-finished Soul Refining Pills in the end.

This clearly shows that he himself does not have any talent for alchemy!

To put it bluntly, Lu Feng's seclusion to refine pills this time is a complete waste of resources, comparable to a rich second-generation wasting his money!

"Damn it, I don't believe it!"

"Again!"

After putting the three half-finished Soul Refining Pills into his storage ring, Lu Feng did not back down. He immediately summoned his Yuan Power again to transform into pill fire, burning the bottom of the Dragon Pattern Cloud Swallowing Cauldron in front of him until it was red-hot. Clearly, he was going to continue to make a big splash!

As the saying goes, "Early bird catches the worm," and "Diligence can make up for lack of talent!"

So what if you don't have a talent for alchemy?

Now that he has the Treasure Basin in his hands and a Grade 4 furnace cauldron to help him, he is not lacking in various medicinal herbs and demon cores. Even if he is wasting these resources, as long as he refines them enough times, he can still improve his alchemy experience!

However, this extravagant alchemy method is only available to Lu Feng and is not very practical for other alchemists outside the region.

After all, whether it's medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, or demon core resources, each one is very expensive.

This is why most sects and powerful families, even if they empty their coffers, cannot afford to support a few high-level alchemists. After all, this is a pure money pit, too expensive!

.....

Underground secret room

The fire in the Dragon Pattern Cloud-Swallowing Cauldron flickered on and off, burning all night without ceasing!

Lu Feng stood quietly before the furnace like a meditating ascetic, his hands repeatedly performing the steps of controlling the fire, purifying, and fusing the pill.

Whoosh! Thump!

As the last wisp of fire inside the Dragon Pattern Cloud-Swallowing Cauldron went out, the lid was slowly closed, and Lu Feng finally stood up. His expression was complicated, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Phew! Apart from the Earth-rank demon cores that Miss Song gave me, which I haven't used yet, most of the medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and demon core resources in my storage ring have been completely used up..."

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lu Feng flipped his right palm and immediately pulled out a glass bottle the size of a water glass.

Inside the glass bottle, various pills of different sizes and colors were piled up. Among them were sixth-grade Soul Evolution Pills, as well as some pills for healing, detoxification, and cultivation assistance. However, most of them were of lower grade and of varying quality.

"Five Grade Six Soul-Establishing Pills..."

"Eight Grade One Blood-Recovery Pills..."

"Four Grade Two Purification Pills... and ten semi-finished Grade Two Qi Gathering Pills..."

Concentrating intently on counting the newly produced pills in the glass bottle, Lu Feng's expression grew increasingly dejected. "Good heavens! I spent the entire night refining pills, and all my savings were gone, and this is all I got in return..."

"Could it be that if I want to improve my alchemy skills in the future, the only way is to visit Senior Zhang at the Alchemist Guild...?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but picture Zhang Miaoling's alluring figure and her ridiculously large breasts, and he immediately swallowed hard.

"Forget it! My manhood is more important...!"

Seemingly recalling something terrible, Lu Feng once again interrupted his wandering thoughts and returned to reality.

Admittedly, Zhang Miaoling, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, is not only a first-rate alchemist but also a genuine sixth-grade alchemist. However, Lu Feng still dared not approach her privately.

After all, the other party is known as the "Purple-Robed Eccentric Doctor," and his behavior has always been unpredictable. If he accidentally angers Zhang Miaoling, he may lose his manhood and be childless!

Besides, there's an old saying that goes, "A widow's door is always full of gossip!"

Lu Feng also noticed from the beginning that "One-Eyed Alchemist" Mondo, who was also one of the vice presidents of the Alchemist Guild, seemed to have feelings for Zhang Miaoling, the widow, but could not get her!

Therefore, given this complicated love triangle, Lu Feng was well aware that if he got involved, he would inevitably incur jealousy and bring trouble upon himself!

"Oh right, it seems there are still some demon cores below the top-tier Xuan rank left...!"

Putting the small glass bottle into his storage ring, Lu Feng gazed at the silent, extinguished Dragon-Patterned Cloud-Swallowing Cauldron before him. He seemed to remember something, and slapped his forehead. "Hmm, these leftover Profound-Rank demon cores from alchemy, plus the few Earth-Rank demon cores Miss Song gave me, should be great for making demon blood wine!"

"I've almost finished the demon blood wine I had on me...!"

Grinning, Lu Feng raised his hand and touched the storage ring on his finger, then poured out the remaining demon cores and other miscellaneous items.

Splash...!

A large amount of debris poured out like a river, then surrounded Lu Feng, almost filling half of the underground chamber, resembling a small hill.

However, the only valuable treasures here are the demon cores and some demon beast flesh and blood.

"Let's begin...!"

After taking stock of the pile of demon cores and demon beast flesh in front of him, Lu Feng did not slack off. He immediately released his Yuan Power Pill Fire again, heating the bottom of the Dragon Pattern Cloud Swallowing Cauldron to a scorching heat. At the same time, he suddenly lifted the lid of the cauldron and poured clean water into the furnace.

Demon Blood Wine, as the name suggests, is a medicinal wine made by boiling various demon cores, demon beast flesh and blood, a small amount of medicinal herbs, and water. It is also a unique recipe developed by Lu Feng himself.

In addition, the taste of Demon Blood Wine is similar to that of ordinary wines, the only difference being that it has a faint bloody smell, and it also has the effect of enhancing physical strength and blood circulation!

However, these demon blood medicinal wines are only effective for martial artists below the Qi Opening Realm. With Lu Feng's current Yuan Power cultivation and physical strength, no matter how much he drinks, it won't be of any use.

However, even so, Lu Feng still needs to refine a batch of demon blood medicinal wine for future use!

After all, each time he unleashes "Dragon's Fury," he needs to burn his life essence, and the side effect of burning too much life essence is to shorten his lifespan and shorten his lifespan!

For Lu Feng, if he frequently used the "Dragon's Fury" killing move to increase his strength, he would probably die before he could kill the enemy, which was really not worth it!

If the Demon Blood Wine is used as a substitute, although the effect on improving the strength of "Dragon's Fury" is slightly less, at least it does not shorten lifespan, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
