Before the bookshelf, Ye Jingcheng hesitated, holding two Jade Slips. Ye Haiping didn't rush him; on the contrary, he was more curious about Ye Jingcheng's choice.
"Eighth Grandpa, I wonder what the prices are for copying the Body Tempering Pill and Azure Spirit Pill formus?" After pondering for a long time, Ye Jingcheng finally picked up the two Jade Slips and asked.
"Azure Spirit Pill is eighty Contribution Points, Body Tempering Pill is sixty Contribution Points!" Ye Haiping replied with a smile.
"What about other pills?" Ye Jingcheng continued to ask.
"Azure Origin Pill is seventy, Qi Blood Pill is fifty..." Ye Haiping answered one by one.
"Eighth Grandpa, I'll choose the Azure Spirit Pill formu, and I'll also use Contribution Points to exchange for the Body Tempering Pill formu!" Ye Jingcheng quickly made his decision.
As the Family Token had another sixty points deducted, Ye Jingcheng had two more Jade Slips in his hand.
"Both Jade Slips must be returned within a month!" Ye Jingcheng nodded; a month was enough time for him to master the formus.
"Eighth Grandpa, also, I'll exchange for twenty portions of Spirit Feeding Pill materials, as well as ten portions of Body Tempering Pill and five portions of Azure Spirit Pill materials!" Ye Jingcheng took out the Family Token again.
Ye Haiping nodded upon seeing this, quite satisfied with Ye Jingcheng's choice. If it were other cultivators, they might directly exchange for all Tier 1 mid-grade materials.
But alchemy wasn't that easy; gradual progress was the most reliable approach.
After another seventy Contribution Points were deducted from the token, Ye Jingcheng painfully accepted it.
He prepared the spiritual medicine materials and formus together and headed towards his house. After reviewing at home for three days, he went to the Pill Pavilion.
Inside the Pill Pavilion, all the alchemy rooms were tightly closed. Ninth Elder Ye Haitian sat in his seat, looking rather leisurely, his precious bell pced beside him.
Clearly, it wasn't time to switch rooms yet. Those who came here to refine pills usually rented a room for three days and wouldn't come out until noon.
Ye Jingcheng had arrived a bit early. Every time he came early, he would help Ninth Elder with chores and ask about alchemy matters.
This allowed him to gain more from each alchemy session than others.
However, this time, Ye Haitian only gnced at him before turning his head away, busying himself.
Ye Jingcheng was naturally a bit puzzled.
After looking around, he suddenly understood.
He saw that one of the doors was half-open.
Joy instantly filled Ye Jingcheng's face because this alchemy room wasn't anyone else's; it was Ye Haiyun of the Ye Family's alchemy room.
The eldest of the Hai generation in the Ye Family, Ye Haicheng, was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Second, Ye Haiyi, the second of the Hai generation, was recognized as the strongest Qi Refining combatant in the Ye Family and was in charge of the Demon Hunting Hall. Ye Haiyun, the fourth of the Hai generation, was the most skilled alchemist in the Ye Family.
This alchemy room was usually closed! But every time it was half-open, one could see the alchemy scene inside through the small gap.
Ye Jingcheng's alchemy skills had reached such heights, thanks to his frequent peeking.
Other Ye Family members might think that it was best not to watch without the Fourth Elder's permission.
But Ye Jingcheng's view was different. Being half-open was an implicit invitation to watch, wasn't it? It just meant they weren't allowed to enter, since disturbing an immortal cultivator's alchemy was a major taboo!
Ye Jingcheng watched and took out a Jade Slip, starting to record.
At this moment, through the half-open door, he could see that it was precisely the time to collect the pills, and they were refining Azure Spirit Pills.
He saw ten Azure Spirit Pills, all of them a vibrant green, plump, and overflowing with Spirit Fragrance.
Ye Jingcheng stopped in his tracks.The early bird really does get the worm!Ye Haiyun, whether he hadn't noticed Ye Jingcheng or for some other reason, didn't make any extra movements, and with a wave of his hand, continued to warm the Pill Furnace.
Pill refining is just like cultivation, with a great deal of attention to detail. The first step is to wipe away any remaining medicinal residue, and then use just the right amount of fire to bring the Pill Furnace to the perfect temperature. This is warming the furnace.
This is also why Ye Haitian and Ye Haiyun prefer Ye Jingcheng. Every time, Ye Jingcheng would wipe the Pill Furnace clean, re-warm it, and finally clean the Pill Refining room, arranging everything in an orderly manner! At the moment, the warming of the furnace continued, but unlike Ye Jingcheng's careful approach, Ye Haiyun almost pinched a Spirit Incantation, and the fire grew to half a person's height, emitting terrifying heat waves. The Pill Furnace instantly turned red-hot, and the furnace patterns on it became vivid, emitting spiritual light.
Clearly, in just a few breaths, the furnace was warmed.
The second step was refining the medicine. Once he got to refining the medicine, for some reason, Ye Jingcheng felt that Ye Haiyun had slowed down a lot. If warming the furnace was done in one go, then refining the medicine became cautious and step-by-step.
Every detail was done with extreme care.
Ye Jingcheng happened to have read the pill formu and still had many doubts in his mind, all of which could now be verified one by one.
In fact, to figure it out, he even took out the borrowed Azure Spirit Pill formu and compared it item by item, a scene that made Ye Haitian next to him twitch at the corner of his mouth.
But he still didn't say anything.
Ye Jingcheng had two Jade Slips in his hand. He couldn't touch the Family Token's Jade Slip, but his own Jade Slip was filled with a rge passage, and he had even listed all sorts of possibilities.
Of course, he was able to do this so smoothly because Ye Haiyun was refining quite slowly today.
Ye Haiyun refined three furnaces of Azure Spirit Pills, each with ten full pills, with full pill patterns and rich spiritual energy.
It wasn't even noon yet, and Ye Haiyun was already refining Body Tempering Pills!
Ye Jingcheng's heart was also full of gratitude, but the desire to learn was even deeper.
At this moment, while Ye Jingcheng was learning, several cultivators had already come out.
They were a little puzzled because Elder Ye Haitian hadn't rung the bell today to urge them.
This made them a little uncomfortable, and at this time, there were still cultivators inside continuing to refine, as if they were going to refine a new furnace, which made them quite regretful that they hadn't stayed a little longer.
As soon as they came out, they saw Ye Jingcheng watching Ye Haiyun refine pills.
The two also joined in to watch, but after watching for a while, they felt that it was no different from what Ye Haitian had taught. The most important thing was that they didn't have the Body Tempering Pill formu, so they simply returned to the Pill Refining room to refine pills again.
It wasn't until Shen Shi (3-5 PM) that Ye Haiyun put away the furnace, and the door began to close.
Ye Haitian then began to ring the bell. Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but think of what Ye Haiyun had said, that there was no absolute fairness in the Ye Family.
Now it seems that the Family also favors those who work hard and persevere!
One by one, the cultivators walked out, and Ye Jingcheng paid the Spirit Stones, rented for three days, and rented a Pill Furnace! Then, from the Spirit Beast Bag, he released the Crimson Fme Fox.
The Crimson Fme Fox chirped, feeling the high temperature. Its fur was even more brilliantly red under the light of the fire.
"Little Fme, watch. If you can provide fmes like this Earth Fire in the future, I'll give you an extra meal every Zi Shi (11 PM-1 AM), from three meals to four!"
