2022-12-05 00:16:43The lady returned to the upper floor after saying what was on her mind. But even after she left, the lingering fragrance and her silhouette stayed for about a minute. Only after it vanishes that they escape from getting enthralled.
Qin Lei looked at Chen Tu for a moment and immediately returned to pack a few belongings. Exactly an hour later, he followed the convoy and left the Blood Refining Grotto.
Meanwhile, Chen Tu had nothing to do after sending Qin Lei away. He went to the barn to check on the Crimson-Tailed Pheasants and returned to his room afterward. And the next morning, his time was again fully occupied with work and cultivation.
His schedule can be said to be as busy as always.
After an entire week of focused meditation, Chen Tu had finally formed another drop of Sun and Moon Essence. With one more getting done this week, he would be qualified to challenge the fourth level.
Besides that, the experience he gained from refining the Grain Pellet had steadily improved. Although the percentage of success is only 25% for a Two-Star pill, his modified refinement method can now refine eight pellets from a cauldron.
The 25% chance hints at the cauldron of eight Grain Pellets. This also means that there's a possibility that one out of the eight could achieve a Two-Star qualification. Simultaneously, Chen Tu secured a supply line for his next tryst, the Restless Pellet.
It had been five days since Qin Lei took his leave. Coincidentally, today was the day everyone was summoned by the elder to help him in his workshop.
Since his opportunity to ask for the elder's opinion is finally here, how can Chen Tu miss it?
His recipe would be officially recognized if Chen Tu obtained the teacher's approval. At that time, a record would be included beside his name and achievements.
Furthermore, the teacher could also advise him from a different point of view on his recipe. This was simply a Grain Pellet's Pill Formula to the rest of the people. But to an Alchemist, this is a solid achievement that equals displaying Chen Tu's individual talent as an alchemist.
After all, everyone would have this acknowledgment recorded in their name if it was easy to achieve.
Chen Tu naturally had to bring his own cauldron and the necessary ingredients to refine the Grain Pellet in front of his teacher. And when all of them arrived, the items in Chen Tu's hand immediately attracted the most busybody person amongst them.
Xia Xuan-Xuan.
The cheerfulness in her made Xia Xuan-Xuan came to check the content inside his cauldron. But she becomes speechless after catching a glimpse of Chen Tu's ingredients.
"Junior brother... These ingredients..." she wanted to say something but decided to stop in between in fear that would ruin the harmony between them. At the same time, it was difficult for her to forget what she saw inside the cauldron.
She knew the procedure to refine the Grain Pellet and was unfamiliar with the two ingredients. But there's also something else: a bean-type Spiritual Herb known as the Spiritual River Rock Beans.
Furthermore, that wasn't peculiar compared to the condition of Chen Tu's ingredients. The problem was Chen Tu's ingredients had all sprouted like they had gone through a wash a day before. And according to the Pill Formula, the component was supposed to be completely dry and free from impurities.
In this case, doesn't that mean Chen Tu had already failed before he started? Could he be simply here to ask the teacher to teach him the correct way to refine the Grain Pellet?
Chen Tu could understand what Xia Xuan-Xuan had in her mind but couldn't see the need to explain himself.
Also, wouldn't all the questions be answered after he refined the Grain Pellet before everyone?
Their teacher came about fifteen minutes later, with Ting Wei following him closely. The latter had a hand full of medicinal ingredients. Everyone here quickly makes their way to Ting Wei to lend him a hand. And without needing to be told, everyone looks for a task.
The request for today was Spirit Desertification Pill once again. But to increase the success rate, the elder took the helm in refinement, while the others helped by the side. After working together for over six hours, they finally completed the twenty orders in the request.
"Good job today, everyone." Elder Wei Xuan wasn't cheap with his praises. As everyone here was meticulously picked by him, he naturally had confidence in them. In addition, a light compliment is always necessary to motivate them to try harder.
"Also, who brought a cauldron here today?" the elder asked. As a fellow alchemist, he naturally knew what that signifies.
"Teacher! It's Xiao Tu! Xiao Tu brought his cauldron here today!" Xia Xuan-Xuan raised her hand and answered on Chen Tu's behalf. Honestly speaking, she would appear more graceful if it wasn't for her busybody personality.
Of course, such a sight of Xia Xuan-Xuan would only be seen amongst them. She naturally wouldn't show such a playful and childish side of hers to the outsiders. And, after all, everyone here can be said to be her fellow older and younger brothers.
"What are you going to refine today, Xiao Tu?" the elder shifted his attention to the youngest here.
"Grain Pellet, teacher." Chen Tu left his seat and answered the question.
"I see... Then take the opportunity while the charcoal is still burning to start. Pay attention on what you're doing, and ignore everything else." said the elder. He doesn't appear to be underestimating the refinement process at all.
Instead, the elder gave him full control over the process and allowed Chen Tu to display his worth.
Of course, this also means he won't be giving a hand to Chen Tu or advising him on where he lacks until the procedure ends.
"Disciple will get ready!" Chen Tu replied. Without further ado, he tossed a small stack of charcoal onto the stove before positioning his small cauldron on the table. Next, the ingredients were taken from the pot and set separately for inspection.
(Hmm? The grains sprouted? Why would there be Spiritual River Rock Beans here? To my knowledge, we don't have any Grain Pellet recipes that require this Spiritual Herb...)
Chen Tu was ready to start the refining process as soon as his cauldron was fired to the desired temperature. But with six pairs of eyes staring at him, his first action was pouring everything into the burning pot.
(GAH!!! ARE YOU REFINING PILLS OR COOKING???)

Next morning. Following Tang Yun Long's suggestion, Chen Tu made his way to the Registration Office after breakfast. And as usual, he waited with the others in the queue until it was his turn. "What can I do for you today, junior?" the worker asked with impatience in his tone. In his opinion, Chen Tu is likely another disciple coming to claim his monthly salary provided by the Blood Refining Grotto. But all his following words were stuck in his throat before he could continue after Chen Tu had his disciple token taken out. "Chen - Chen Tu? You're Chen Tu?" the worker's tone changed into a more polite and easy to the ear. His attitude also had 180 degrees of turnover. Chen Tu didn't reply to him but simply nodded with a smile. And to these workers who looked down on the weak disciples, such treatment was the best venom to reeducate them. The worker immediately changed how he addressed Chen Tu from "Junior" to "Fellow Disciple Chen." And needless to say, this instantaneous change
Chapter 81: Small World
"Teacher, really? We're going to attend the examination for the Titled Alchemist this year?" Tang Yun Long couldn't help but feel excited. Naturally, he was very happy with what Elder Wei Xuan had said. After all, Tang Yun Long is turning eighteen this year. And even amongst all the disciples from both elders, his talent in Alchemy was the highest. But regardless of how he requested, Elder Wei Xuan would always reject him when it came to permission to attend the Titled-Alchemist Examination. No matter how much he begged, the elder would deem he was not ready for the test yet. Counting from the year he had been asking until now, it was almost four years past. But today, the sun seems to be rising from the west. Of course, Tang Yun Long realized that the change in Elder Wei Xuan's mind did not come from him but from Chen Tu. Without bathing in this junior brother's brilliance, he might have to wait another year or two before his chances arrive. Obviously, there was a reason for the
Chapter 80: Crimson Emblazing Pill
"Good. Very good. Then, you'll be the second official disciple of this old man from this moment onward. I am looking forward on how far you can grow." Elder Wei Xuan appeared very satisfied with Chen Tu's instant reply. This could also show how much Chen Tu had longed for this chance. "Disciple understood!" Chen Tu kneeled and raised a teacup in both hands to the elder. Regardless of the custom, serving a cup of tea to your master is essential. This customary practice not only creates a proper master and disciple but also the connections in between. "En... Those unimportant things will be told to you by Xiao Long later. For now, take this as your gift to study under my tutelage. It was the Pill Formula I promised you last time." the elder said after placing the teacup aside and taking something from nothingness. Apparently, the elder had a piece of Spatial Jade too. And from the look of it, the quality is slightly better than what Tang Yun Long had. "Why don't you take a look at i
Chapter 79: Second Official Disciple
"junior brother Chen, this Three-Star Pill... Did you refine them by yourself?" Tang Yun Long asked. Even he hadn't had success in refining a pill of this quality. At most, he is only confident in refining Two-Star Pill. Furthermore, this result was before Chen Tu was officially accepted by the elder as his second official disciple. If he was, would he be capable of Four-Star, or even a Five-Star? Of course, that kind of level is nowhere to be heard of... After all, no alchemist would dedicate all their time to researching and refining a four or Five-Star Grain Pellet. Even if that alchemist is the most foolish one, he would likely have zero to little interest in an entry-level pill like this. Looking at the Three-Star Grain Pellet sitting on the table, the elder couldn't calm his heart down. And without further ado, he put his hand out toward Chen Tu and asked for something. "Xiao Tu... Bring the Alchemist Token out." Elder Wei Xuan asked. It appears that what he will be doing
Chapter 78: About To Faint
(Hmm... I wonder what kind of medicinal pill is this Spring and Autumn Profound Pill and Lesser Vitality Pill. Could their effect be something extraordinary, like the Spiritual Replenishing or Spirit Desertification Pill?) Chen Tu spoke to his own while flipping through the pages. The contents were fairly easy for him to understand, and there was nothing to be suspicious about. But when Chen Tu came to the ingredient part, he had the urge to scratch and pull his hair. (Aargh... Now, this is where my first obstacle comes in...) Chen Tu took a few deep breaths after he set the book aside. He had mixed feelings due to what was going on inside his mind. The reason for these confusing thoughts was naturally understandable. After all, this was a lost recipe Qin Lei's father, Qin Tianbao, found from excavating the tomb of a certain expert. Interestingly, this relic site was also where Qin Tianbao had a mishap and lost one of his legs. And no wonder he would be allowed to keep these two
Chapter 77: Uncle Qin Tianbao
(What an amazing feeling... Could this be something only those in the fourth level would realize?) Chen Tu remained seated, but for every breath he took, the Spiritual Energy of his surroundings was attracted over. His body was like a leaf sponging up all the dew as it absorbed all these blimps of Spiritual Energy to nourish his flesh. This mist-like Spiritual Energy is incomparable to what a Spiritual Replenishing Pill offers. Still, it was something nobody would complain about. After all, no matter how diluted and faint this Spiritual Energy was, they're still the Spiritual Energy everyone pursued. Nobody would cover their water well when it rains because they're afraid it would be overfilled by the rainwater. Apparently, Chen Tu's guess was correct. A feat like this was indeed someone above the Flesh Tempering Stage could enjoy. And thanks to his fully-tempered flesh, Chen Tu is now more than capable of applicating Spiritual Energy to strengthen his physique. Although the diff
