"I'm convinced!"
Seeing how serious Du Feng was when he was refining pills, Yuan Cheng was completely convinced. No wonder the elders in his family always told him that nothing was impossible if he set his mind to it. Brother Du was too thoughtful. In just a short while, the cauldron lit up, and the pills were about to be completed.
Generally speaking, the success rate of a cauldron of pills was between 30% to 70%. Even if it was successful, the number of pills would vary. Some could reach more than 10, while others could reach more than 30. Those who could produce more than 30 pills in a cauldron were experts. If a high-level alchemist were to refine a low-level elixir pill, the number of elixir pills would be higher.
It would be even better if there were a few high-grade or even supreme-grade pills among the pills. Du Feng said that he could guarantee that they were all supreme-grade pills, but Yuan Cheng didn't really believe it. Even though he saw that Du Feng's craftsmanship was extraordinary, he knew that Du Feng was serious enough. But alchemy was similar to cultivation. Man proposes, God disposes. It was impossible to guarantee that every pill was supreme-grade.
"One, two, three …"
After Du Feng took out the Condensing Essence Pills, Yuan Cheng quickly counted them. 98, 99, 100. How could it be? How could Brother Du produce 100 Condensing Pills in one cauldron? And from the looks of it, every pill seemed to be high-grade or supreme-grade. As for what it was, he had to observe it closely and smell it to know.
"Brother Du, are you even human?"
Yuan Cheng rushed in after the array was opened. He looked at Du Feng's face and pinched his arm to see if he was a monster in human form. If he was human, how could he produce 100 pills in one cauldron? Shouldn't that be a theoretical value? There was a huge gap between theory and practice.
"Nonsense, if I'm not human, how can I be a god?"
Du Feng rolled his eyes at him, thinking that this kid was making a big fuss out of nothing. Wasn't it just refining pills? Back on the Alchemy Emperor Island, even the kitchen choppers knew a little about alchemy.
"Tsk tsk tsk … 100 supreme-grade Condensing Pills in one cauldron, and it only took me an hour."
Yuan Cheng counted with his fingers. One hundred pills in an hour. Ten pills in a bottle. That was ten bottles. He could refine 2,400 Essence Condensing Pills in 24 hours a day, which was equivalent to 240 bottles. This was simply too rich. Moreover, this was calculated based on the Condensing Essence Pill. If it was healing pills or even Void Breaking Pills that were more profitable, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
"Do you think I'm a mechanical puppet? I don't need to cultivate or rest. I can refine pills 24 hours a day."
At this point, Du Feng suddenly slapped his head. That's right, why didn't they use mechanical puppets? The process of refining pills required him to do it personally, but the work of sorting, grinding, and weighing could be done by the mechanical puppets. In terms of sorting and weighing, these intricate mechanical puppets were not inferior to human warriors. In fact, they were even more accurate.
"What's wrong, Brother Du? Did you really become a mechanical puppet? Even if it's a mechanical puppet, it's a mechanical puppet that can make money. "
Seeing Du Feng standing there motionless, as if he was thinking about something, Yuan Cheng did not forget to make fun of him.
"You're pretty smart, why don't you use it in a proper place?"
Fortunately, Yuan Cheng's words reminded Du Feng. In the past, he had always refined pills personally. He was afraid that others would interfere and affect the final result, so he neglected the mechanical puppet. The mechanical puppet did not have an aura, nor did it have the ability to interfere. It could be said to be the best helper.
The bronze mechanical puppet that he brought out from the Three Mountains Secret Realm could be said to be very intricate. Its finger joints were ridiculously flexible, even more so than many human warriors. Letting it be in charge of sorting, grinding, and weighing was definitely the right thing to do.
Without hesitation, Du Feng waved his hand and summoned the bronze mechanical puppet. Seeing the rank two True Origin Cannon on its shoulder, he ordered it to return to its body. If it were to fire in the pill refining room, it would be a mess. What it needed to do now was not to fight, but to be a small helper in refining pills. In other words, it was just a medicine boy.
"Tsk tsk tsk … .mechanical medicine boy, to think that you could think of this."
"What do you mean I could think of it? You were the one who said it."
Seeing the bronze mechanical puppet skillfully sorting the ingredients, grinding them, and weighing them meticulously, Yuan Cheng also sighed in admiration.
"Is that so, I'm such a genius."
After being rebutted by Du Feng, he then realized that he was the one who thought of this rotten idea. Actually, he had just unintentionally suggested it. Who would have thought that Du Feng would really implement it. Things were like this. There were many people who could think of it, but there were very few who actually did it.
There were a lot of experts who talked about it, but in reality, there were very few experts. It was the same logic as this matter. Most people stopped at the theoretical stage and did not implement it.
"Kacha kacha!"
The speed at which the bronze mechanical puppet cut and grinded the ingredients was extremely fast, and it was extremely accurate. Its hands were originally a scale, so it did not need to use any tools to weigh. How much was needed, it only needed to weigh it in its hands to know, and it could directly mix it together.
"Huhuhu …."
The furnace was burning brightly. Du Feng had started concocting pills again. Yuan Cheng could only return to the window and watch obediently. After a while, he felt that it was too boring. Since he could not do it himself, he might as well instruct the workers to make the shop look better.
Du Feng knew that Yuan Cheng had left, so he might as well seal up the small pill refining room with an array formation, allowing him and the workers to toss and turn to their heart's content outside. He busied himself all the way until the next morning, when he came out from the pill refining room. Raising his head, he almost could not recognize it. Was this still the shop from before?
Don't think that Yuan Cheng was bad at work, he did have a way of instructing people. He designed the shop very beautifully, and the ratio of the front and back yard was also adjusted. In the back yard, other than the small pill refining room that Du Feng wanted to use, there was only a small yard left. He made a grape trellis and placed a deck chair under it for resting. The rest of the space was used on the ground, and the decoration was luxurious.
On the wall, there were some portraits of the powerful seniors, and the Pill Sovereign's portrait was one of them.
"This …"
Seeing the portrait of his father, the Pill Sovereign, hanging in the shop, Du Feng was so excited that his eyes turned red. He did not expect that after so long, there was still someone who remembered him.
"How is it, Brother Du? Are you touched by me?"
Of course, Yuan Cheng did not know that Du Feng was the son of the Pill Sovereign. He had specially gotten the portraits of the famous pill refining masters in history, which made the shop look especially high class. It gave people the feeling that Du Feng was the descendant of these masters, which was why he was able to concoct top-grade pills.
"Good, that's great."
