Chapter 107: Chapter 87: Earning Spirit Stones from Alchemy Faster Than Robbery_3
This was by no means a simple matter.
…
The amount of spiritual power contained within a low-grade spirit stone.
Often could only supply the alchemy of one furnace of yellow grade low-grade elixirs.
Therefore, if Luo Changfeng wanted to refine a yellow grade low-grade Calming Heart Pill,
his opportunities would only amount to ten times.
“Let’s give it a try…”
Thinking thus in his heart, he then silently approached the yellow grade low-grade alchemy furnace.
Light the fire, raise the temperature.
After all the preliminary preparations were completed,
Luo Changfeng waved his hand and threw some precious spiritual medicines from his storage bag into the alchemy furnace.
It is worth mentioning here that to refine a yellow grade low-grade spirit pill,
the best choice of materials is to use yellow grade low-grade spiritual medicine.
However, the likes of yellow grade low-grade spiritual medicines are far rarer and more precious than those common alchemy materials.
Therefore, even though he had become the Deputy Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
he did not possess much of this grade of spiritual medicine.
…
The first attempt at refining a yellow grade low-grade Calming Heart Pill,
Luo Changfeng spent about ten minutes.
In the end, he failed.
The second attempt at refining a yellow grade low-grade Calming Heart Pill,
took him about half an hour.
In the end, he still failed.
The third attempt, the fourth attempt, all failed.
Until Luo Changfeng came to the fifth attempt at refining a yellow grade low-grade Calming Heart Pill,
finally, he succeeded.
…
Within the courtyard of the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
as Luo Changfeng opened the lid of the alchemy furnace with a hint of excitement in his heart,
a dense and refreshing fragrance of the pill
then slowly entered his nostrils.
“Is this the transcendence from the mundane, a yellow grade low-grade spiritual medicine?”
Luo Changfeng looked at the three yellow grade low-grade Calming Heart Pills lying quietly at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Instantly, much of the joy in his heart dissipated.
Because at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, there were only three yellow grade low-grade Calming Heart Pills.
Luo Changfeng had some understanding of the value of elixirs at various grades.
Elixirs of insignificant grade were nearly as cheap as cabbages.
A thousand insignificant grade elixirs would sell for the price of one low-grade spirit stone, and that was already after dedication efforts from the Wan Dan Sect.
Above the insignificant grade were the mundane level elixirs.
Although their price was considerably higher than the insignificant level,
they were still not worth much.
About ten top-grade mundane elixirs
could be sold for the price of one low-grade spirit stone.
Moreover, this was before any profit extraction, and if half the profit was taken by the Wan Dan Sect,
what one could get would only be half a low-grade spirit stone.
If you then deduct the cost of the materials needed,
the alchemist would often only earn a small amount of hard-earned money.
As for the yellow grade above the mundane,
starting from this rank, the elixirs become increasingly valuable.
One yellow grade low-grade elixir,
its value would be approximately around five low-grade spirit stones.
Even after the Wan Dan Sect’s commission, one would still obtain two and a half low-grade spirit stones.
Even after deducting some costs,
alchemists could still earn quite a bit.
Take, for instance, the three Calming Heart Pills in Luo Changfeng’s possession.
After the Wan Dan Sect’s cut, he could make about seven and a half low-grade Spirit Stones.
Even after deducing costs and the times Luo Changfeng failed, he still made a profit.
It’s just that the Spirit Stones he could earn weren’t that numerous.
“I was a bit rusty before, but the success rate should increase significantly from now on…”
With these thoughts in his mind, Luo Changfeng then began the process of making lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills again.
…
Initially, Luo Changfeng succeeded only once in five attempts at making the pills.
In the next five attempts, he succeeded twice.
Among those three failures,
one was just a step away from success.
Moreover, among those two successful instances,
one produced five Calming Heart Pills, while the other yielded as many as seven.
Five, plus seven, along with the initial three,
meant that he had a total of fifteen lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills.
If he were to sell all fifteen lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills to the Wan Dan Sect, he could earn a total of thirty-seven and a half low-grade Spirit Stones.
Of course, this was after the cut.
Even if he deducted ten low-grade Spirit Stones for the capital and about five for the cost of materials,
he would still make a profit of twenty-two and a half low-grade Spirit Stones.
In not much time, he had doubled the quantity of his Spirit Stones.
No wonder they say making money from Alchemy and Artifact Refining is even faster than plundering.
…
After setting aside five lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills for little Luo Qingshan to use in case of emergency,
Luo Changfeng handed over the extra ten lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills to the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.
As Luo Changfeng held the position of Deputy Sect Master in the Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
he did not need to wait for the Elixirs to be sold.
He could directly take out his own twenty-five low-grade Spirit Stones from the Sub-sect’s reserves.
Afterward, he used five of those Spirit Stones to buy materials for ten lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills.
Originally he wanted to buy more, but since there were only so many materials available for lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills at the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
Luo Changfeng could only buy ten batches for the time being.
…
Lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pills.
Indeed, they are elixirs that transcend the mundane.
After the little guy Luo Qingshan swallowed one,
the constant emanation of crimson aura above his head gradually vanished.
The hint of blood-red in that little guy’s eyes
also began to fade with the passage of time after ingesting the lower-grade Yellow Grade Calming Heart Pill,
slowly weakening until it disappeared completely.
…
“How do you feel now?”
Underneath the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng, while sipping hot tea, quietly asked the similarly situated Luo Qingshan.
“My heart seems to be gradually regaining its calm.”
“It’s like the distractions in my mind are gradually dispersing.”
“So quiet…”
Luo Qingshan softly closed his eyes, a slight smile on his face as he spoke.
“As long as it’s effective,” Luo Changfeng quietly nodded, then added, “However, stay by my side for now, empty your heart as much as possible.”
“When you feel like you can control your heart, you may leave!”
“The Calming Heart Pill can only suppress after all.”
“If not well managed, everything will revert to the starting point…”
Luo Qingshan quietly nodded in acknowledgment: “Yes!”
