Chapter 3650: Preparing to refine pills!

Translator: 549690339

Yes, the hall of pills is one of the independent departments outside of the three pavilions, just like the spirit Jade Hall and the welcoming new pavilion. Almost all of the alchemists in the North Island are gathered there, and they are responsible for refining pills for the disciples of the three pavilions. The miserable senior brother paused and added,Its said that the treatment there is much better than other places. Junior Brother Lin, since youre an Alchemist, maybe you can join in the future. That was the only place that the three great pavilions could not interfere with, and it was managed by the pill Pavilion of the central island! It was founded by master Zhang Liju, and even now, he was the head of the pill house! Of course, many alchemists have also been bribed by the three pavilions in private, but its only in a cooperative relations.h.i.+p. Even if Xu lingchong wants to mess with you, its basically very difficult. Without any benefits, its very difficult for those alchemists to work hard for him!

Oh? So if I join the hall of pills, Ill be able to see master Zhang Liju at the pill house? Lin Yis heart moved.

How is that possible? Although they were under the management of the pill house, the pill Masters were all born and raised in the North Island. Only the head of the pill house could go to the pill house to collect the materials and collect the harvest. However, it would only take a few days, and they would have to come back after that. How could they see master Zhang Liju? Do you think its that easy to see? The miserable senior brother shook his head.

Is that so Well talk about this when the time comes. Lin Yi shook his head noncommittally.

Although he could make pills, he mainly relied on the Shennong medicine cauldron that Han Jing Jing had modified. He was not a pure Alchemist. Moreover, his main task now was to go to Middle Island to find Zhang Liju. If he joined the hall of alchemy, it would be difficult to get a mission to Middle Island unless he was promoted to Pavilion master.

Even if he was the pavilion master, hed have to come back quickly-there wasnt much point in that. Plus, Lin Yi didnt want his secret to be discovered-itd bring him endless trouble if anyone found out!

Lin Yi tossed the thought aside and asked,Senior brother ku, you just said that you have to pay a huge price to find the pill Hall to refine pills?

Of course, its not easy for those people from the pill Hall to refine pills! The miserable senior brother said with lingering fear,according to the rules of the pill Hall, we need to provide two sets of materials to refine any kind of pill. We also have to turn in a considerable amount of spiritual Jade. If its an unpopular pill, we have to find a way to provide the pill formula. The foundation-breaking pill I need right now isnt an unpopular pill, but in addition to providing two sets of ingredients, Ill have to pay an additional 200 spirit jade pieces. Junior Brother Lin, do you think this price is too high?

Another two hundred spiritual jades? This price is indeed a little exaggerated! Lin Yi knew that being an Alchemist was a lucrative business, but it was still too much for him.

The total value of the two sets of medicinal herbs was only about a dozen pieces of spiritual Jade. As long as they put in more effort, they could still be collected, and this was still within the acceptable range of ordinary cultivators. However, the extra two hundred pieces of spiritual Jade were too exaggerated. For a low-level steward like the poor senior brother, it would take him at least ten years to save up so many spiritual jade pieces!

Its worth it to pay such a huge price if they can guarantee the success rate. After all, the price of a Foundation-breaking pill in the market is 400 spiritual jades. If this price can be exchanged for a Foundation-breaking pill, its still a profit.

The miserable senior brother smiled bitterly and continued,But the problem is that the pill Hall doesnt guarantee the success rate at all! If these two sets of materials can be used to make two pills, then you can only get one! If you only succeed in refining one, then consider it a blessing from your ancestors, and this one will also be given to you! However, if you fail in all of them, then all the medicinal herbs we collected and the two hundred spiritual jades we turned in will be for nothing. Not a single cent will be returned to you!

Doesnt that make this a huge gamble? This pill Hall is really black-hearted! Lin Yi couldnt help but suck in a cold breath.

Spending 400 spiritual jades, one could directly buy a foundation building barrier-breaking pill in the market. If one went to the pill Hall to refine it, they would be provided with two sets of medicinal herbs and 200 spiritual jades. In this way, there was a certain chance of obtaining a foundation building barrier-breaking pill. Of course, there was also the possibility of losing all their capital.

For an ordinary cultivator like the poor senior brother, this was simply a gamble that involved his entire life!

According to what Lin Yi knew, for most of the alchemists, the higher the grade of the pill, the lower the success rate. In other words, for a fourth-grade pill like the foundation breaking pill, the chances of failure were far higher than the chances of success!

If the miserable senior brother really gritted his teeth and saved two hundred spiritual jades to go to the pill Hall, there was at least a sixty percent chance that he would lose everything!

Of course, the success rate would be higher if there were two sets of materials, but it would also be a huge risk!

This was also the reason why he was so excited and impatient earlier. After all, if he asked Lin Yi to help him make elixirs, even if the success rate was lower than the other alchemists in the pill Hall, it didnt matter. After all, he just needed to provide the ingredients. Compared to the high price of two hundred spiritual Jade, this loss was negligible.

The spiritual Jade Lin Yi gave him was enough to buy five more sets of materials. What was there to worry about?

Junior Brother Lin, Ill leave the pill refining to you, but you dont have to feel too much pressure. Its great to be able to refine the pill, but it doesnt matter if you fail. Collecting these ingredients doesnt take much effort. The senior brother said sincerely.

Dont worry, brother ku, Im confident. Lin Yi nodded.

Seeing Lin Yis expression, the bitter-faced senior brother felt that his Junior Brother Lin was a little too overconfident, but he didnt want to hurt his confidence.Then when do you plan to refine the pill? Ill think of a way to apply for a few days of leave from the spirit Jade Hall.

Even a layman like the guy knew that making elixirs was extremely taxing on the mind and body, especially for high-tier elixirs. It could take days to make one, and if Lin Yi went to Kuangqu every day and didnt rest up, something might go wrong during the process.

Failure was considered a light consequence, but Lin Yi himself might get hurt. After all, it wasnt just one or two refiners that died from exploding furnaces-the risk was obvious.

Ill make some preparations and start tonight. Well see how it goes tomorrow morning. Senior brother ku, if you dont see me come out, please help me apply for a day off. Lin Yi smiled. Hed be able to get the results in one night, but hed never made the breakthrough Foundation pill before, after all. He didnt know the details, so he didnt dare make any promises.
