"Brother Du, you're famous this time."
What Du Feng had done in the Red Desert had already spread like wildfire throughout the city. Whether it was Pi Weiwei or Yuan Cheng, they both knew about it. Coincidentally, both of them were in the Superior Grade Residence today. The two of them knew how to enjoy themselves. They got a small tea table in the corner of the pharmacy and were chatting while sipping tea.
"Don't mention it. It was all because of that old thing, Cang Jingsong."
Right now, Du Feng had to push the blame onto the Martial Arts Pavilion. He thought that pushing it to the Martial Arts Pavilion was pushing it to the Seven Basaltic Mansions. He told the people of the Nangong Family to take revenge on the Seven Basaltic Mansions if they had the ability. Don't look for trouble with him personally.
"Let's not talk for now. I'm going to concoct pills."
After chatting for a while, Du Feng went into the pill refining room in the backyard. Pi Weiwei and Yuan Cheng were dumbfounded when they saw this. They thought to themselves that Brother Du was too hardworking. Cultivation had always been improving, and he didn't care about his life when it came to earning money. The amount of pills a martial artist could consume within a certain period of time was limited. Other than using it himself, Du Feng would definitely sell it for money.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … I've finally gotten you."
Du Feng took out the Crape Myrtle Grass and carefully plucked a leaf. Then, he crushed it into fine powder and evenly divided it into several portions. His technique was very skilled. If Auntie Hong saw it, she would definitely be shocked. As for the crushing and distribution of the other cheap medicinal ingredients, they were left to the mechanical puppets to complete.
Du Feng had long since learned the refining method of the Heaven Yuan Pill from the Pill Emperor. Back then, he often followed by the side to help. He was the one who did all the work of crushing, weighing, and distributing. However, this was the first time he had entered the furnace to refine it. After all, back then, he didn't have the Cultivation of the Heaven Seizing Realm, so he was unable to refine the Heaven Yuan Pill.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. It was already not easy to succeed in refining the Heaven Yuan Pill for the first time. He didn't dare to hope for a furnace full of top-grade pills. All kinds of medicinal herbs were crushed into powder and mixed together according to the proportion. Then, they were added to the special water of the small lake and rubbed into pills.
This method of rubbing the medicine into a pill was safer than directly sprinkling medicinal powder. Of course, the speed of forming the pill was much slower. After all, it was his first time refining the Heaven Essence Pill, so it was better to be safe than sorry.
As the temperature of the furnace rose, the pill began to change color. From the very first light brown to dark brown, and from dark brown to black. At this time, Du Feng could not help but feel nervous. If the pill continued to turn black, it would mean that it was going to be wasted. If the elixir was destroyed, it would turn into a pile of ash. If it was serious, it might even explode. Once it exploded, it would cause great damage to the alchemy furnace.
The higher the grade of the pill, the more powerful the explosion. This was because when Alchemists concoct pills for others, they would increase the cost of concocting pills according to the grade of the pills. After all, in addition to technology, they also needed to take a certain amount of risk.
"Phew …"
Seeing the color of the pill begin to fade from black, Du Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the color of the medicinal pill began to fade, it was not far from success. Don't look at how the pill was brown in the beginning. After it truly became a Heaven Essence Pill, the final color was milky white. Each one was the size of a pigeon's egg and looked very appetizing.
"Out of the furnace!"
Du Feng controlled the furnace temperature seriously while letting the medicinal pill revolve non-stop at the same time, letting it receive heat evenly. When it truly became milky white, he chose an appropriate time to bring it out of the furnace. He grabbed with his large hand and took the Heaven Essence Pill out. Conveniently counting, there were exactly 100 pills, no more, no less.
Not bad. To be able to refine out a full number of Heaven Essence Pills for the first time was already very good. It was inseparable from observing and learning by the Alchemy Sovereign's side back then. Of course, the most important thing was that Du Feng's Alchemy Dao talent was high enough. If he did not have sufficient talent, even if he put in ten times the effort, he might not be able to succeed.
Among these 100 pills, there were 30 low-grade, 35 middle-grade, and 35 high-grade Heaven Essence Pills. Unfortunately, the first cauldron did not produce a superior-grade Heaven Essence Pill. But all this was within Du Feng's expectations. The so-called producing superior-grade in every cauldron, other than talent and technique, the most important thing was having sufficient experience.
No matter how high his talent was, without sufficient practical experience, it was also impossible to do it. Hence, this batch of Heaven Essence Pills could not be taken out to sell, in case it smashed the High-Grade House's reputation. Also, he did not plan to use non-superior-grade Heaven Essence Pills to advance his Cultivation, because that would have medicinal dregs remaining, which was not good for the body.
But using it to practice the Heaven Essence Palm, there was no hindrance. In any case, he just had to crush it and smear it on his hand. If the quality was low, he could just use a little more. After Du Feng cultivated for a period of time, his body and mind relaxed. Adjusting his condition to the peak, he started refining the second cauldron of Heaven Essence Pills.
When the second cauldron came out, there were no more low-grade medicinal pills among the 100 pills. There were 40 middle-grade, 50 high-grade, and 10 superior-grade Heaven Essence Pills respectively. Seeing the appearance of superior-grade Heaven Essence Pills, Du Feng's mood was very good. This showed that his talent in the Alchemy Dao was indeed high enough.
When the third cauldron of Heaven Essence Pills came out, the number of superior-grade already rose to 23 pills. The remainder were all high-grade medicinal pills. Even middle-grade did not exist anymore. But when these three cauldrons of medicinal pills finished refining, it was already the next day's dawn. For the entire night, apart from meditating to adjust his condition, Du Feng was refining pills. He did not rest at all.
The fourth cauldron, fifth cauldron, sixth cauldron … all the way until the ninth cauldron of Heaven Essence Pills, he could already achieve 100 pills, all of which were superior-grade. Taking advantage of the good feeling, he busied himself again and refined many Heaven Essence Pills, storing them into medicinal bottles.
This time, Du Feng stayed in the pill refining room for three days and three nights before coming out. By the time he came out, Yuan Cheng had long left. Due to being stimulated by brother Du, he decided to go to the Essence Qi Tower to try it out.
"Little Wei, put these up to buy."
Du Feng handed Pi Weiwei a Universe Bag. Inside was slowly filled with medicinal bottles. Each medicinal bottle had five Heaven Essence Pills. Heaven Essence Pills could not be compared to Condensation Pills. Each bottle could not fit ten, only five. But the price of each bottle was much more expensive than Condensation Pills. Especially superior-grade Heaven Essence Pills, the profits were even greater.
"Brother Du, you're too awesome. When are you going to teach me alchemy too?"
Pi Weiwei followed Du Feng and earned a lot of money during this period of time. He pondered that he could buy a new storefront.
"Forget about alchemy. You'd better manage it well. Next, we can open a spirit pet shop."
Du Feng caught some demonic beasts and raised them in the necklace's small world. If they bred, the number would be quite a lot. The next time he took the necklace back from the Red Desert, he could supply the spirit pet shop. Hence, he instructed Pi Weiwei that he could buy a new shop.
