Chapter 314 Calculations
Pill Treasure Pavilion, Zhu Yi's cave dwelling.
"Can you perform alchemy?" Zhu Yi stared incredulously at Chen Mu.
Wasn't he just a slacker who got in through the back door?
"Just a little, just a little," Chen Mu said with a humble face, but his heart burst with joy.
Shocked, weren't you?
I didn't intend for this to happen.
It's just that I'm so diligent and hardworking.
Before I knew it, my alchemy experience had skyrocketed, haha...
"I see," Zhu Yi thought for a moment, his face lighting up with realization.
Then his brow furrowed with concern, "The status of an alchemist is not the same as that of an alchemist apprentice."
"The other courtyards check strictly; it's not easy to manage."
What does that mean?
Chen Mu was a bit confused.
"Giving you this status is not impossible," Zhu Yi hesitated for a moment then clenched his teeth, "You'll need to add Daoist cultivation!"
"A lot of Daoist cultivation!"
"Don't take it personally, this is mainly to smooth things over with Sun Duyuan."
"After all, the Pill Treasure Pavilion in the other courtyard is part of the Administrative Affairs Institute."
"To handle the alchemist status, you will definitely have to go through the Administrative Affairs Institute Duyuan."
"Plus, it's best if Uncle Master Liang steps in first to grease the wheels with our Sun Duyuan."
"With the double threat of Daoist cultivation, you can hold the alchemist status with peace of mind," Zhu Yi's face was full of implied meaning.
Chen Mu: "..."
Are you still treating me like a slacker?!
He was laughed to the point of exasperation. What kind of thought process did this Pavilion Master Zhu even have?
I did indeed enter the Pill Treasure Pavilion through Liang Yi's manipulation, but I am truly capable of alchemy!
Without saying another word, he reached over to the fanged tooth pendant hanging at his waist.
Bang!
A Primordial Furnace appeared out of thin air.
Open the lid, add ingredients, adjust the temperature, apply pressure, unify the primordial elements.
Buzz!
A quarter of an hour later.
An elixir pill the size of a longan pearl and milky white flew in front of Zhu Yi.
"You... you really know how to perform alchemy?!" Zhu Yi's face fell in disappointment.
Chen Mu: "..."
What are you being disappointed for!
Were you just hoping I was fake so you could extort a fistful of Daoist cultivation from me?
"Cough! Junior brother can actually perform alchemy! With junior brother joining, the strength of our Pill Treasure Pavilion has greatly increased!" Zhu Yi pinched the smooth Fasting Pill, quickly putting on a face full of surprised joy, changing his demeanor completely from before.
Chen Mu was completely dumbfounded.
Pavilion Master Zhu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked quite serious and staid, but who would have expected this?
"Do you only know how to make Fasting Pills?" Zhu Yi asked.
"Making just this Fasting Pill already takes up so much time and effort, I really don't have the energy to be distracted by anything else," Chen Mu couldn't help sighing.
"If I want to gain more Daoist cultivation achievements, I still need to think through alchemy."
He hadn't been idle these past two days, constantly collecting data.
"Refining ten pills at a time, it takes a quarter of an hour, and this method is most efficient."
"Even so, the most I can refine in a day is up to three hundred pills."
"And there's also about a 20% loss of raw materials in the process."
Chen Mu looked towards the grey wall.
Alchemy (Fasting Pill): 6625/10000;
Chen Mu laughed cheerfully.
"Now it's getting to the part I'm familiar with."
"Let's get to work."
He wasn't in a hurry to exchange the alchemy for Daoist cultivation.
Just like before, refining pill by pill, saving materials, saving time, to gain experience faster.
With Shang Huan regularly delivering living supplies to him.
Chen Mu truly closed his door to all visitors and focused on alchemy.
...
Twenty days later.
Chen Mu arrived in the small storeroom.
After contributing his monthly share of the Essence of the Five Grains.
He purchased eight thousand jin of Yellow Bud Rice in one go, calling Shang Huan and others to help carry it into the Alchemist Room.
He closed his door to visitors once more.
In the Alchemist Room, Chen Mu focused on the grey wall where the Fasting Pill experience had reached its limit.
His mind was flooded with corresponding alchemy techniques.
"It turns out that the Qi Forbidden is not set in stone."
"In fact, by adjusting its value, one can indirectly speed up the alchemy process, saving materials and hastening alchemy."
But this wasn't even the biggest gain.
"By adjusting the frequency of the Exotic Force, in the same quarter of an hour, I can actually refine eighty-one Fasting Pills at once!" Chen Mu was overjoyed.
"If I were to refine nonstop all day long, I could make over two thousand Fasting Pills a day!"
This...
If I bury myself in practice for four or five years, could I accumulate enough Daoist cultivation and White Jade Coins?
Ha!
Just running the numbers briefly made him uncontrollably eager to start practicing.
It took some effort to suppress this impulse and return to his senses.
"It's still a bit idealistic."
Even if he wanted to do so, his mana wouldn't keep up.
Even so, he could generally save about half the time.
Chen Mu spread his hands out and lay back, thumping down onto the soft cushion behind him.
"More than ten years is still pretty long."
"Seven or eight years would be much better."
"If I learn to make other kinds of pills along the way, like the Heavenly Demon Rebirth Pill."
"Maybe I really could achieve my wish in four or five years!"
