In reality, this instructor Big Beard was quite capable. Although he was only talking about some basic alchemy techniques, his own point of view was extremely novel and unique. It could even be said that he had formed his own school of thought.
Even Chu Chen couldn't help but be attracted after listening for a while. He began to pay full attention to the class. Although his spiritual sense was extremely strong, allowing him to learn everything extremely quickly, he could be said to have a photographic memory. However, when it came to this most basic alchemy knowledge, it was still incomplete and systematic.
The knowledge Big Beard was talking about was the most basic of the basics. No matter what kind of pill or alchemy technique was used, it could be used. After listening for a while, Chu Chen felt as if he had been enlightened, as if he had been enlightened. This feeling even deepened his understanding of Taishang Laojun's alchemy skills.
To be able to become an instructor in the Medicine Palace, all of them were famous geniuses in the alchemy world. As such, Big Beard quickly used his wealth of knowledge and alchemy experience to win the admiration of the students. Chu Chen, Shen Hou, and Tang Rou all listened attentively. Only Zhou Mei's eyes were still looking up and down Snow Cherry's body. From time to time, she would use her fingers to measure a certain part of her body …
Over the next few days, the bearded uncle patiently taught them all the basic theories of alchemy that he knew. They all felt that they had benefited a lot from it.
Finally, after teaching the entire basic knowledge of alchemy, Big Beard began to give the students their first mission: Refine the Medicine Palace Pill!
The Medicine Palace Pill was a rank 3 alchemy pill. It was said that this pill's formula was created by the blood, sweat, and tears of countless ancestors of the Medicine Palace over thousands of years. Because this pill's formula was created by the Medicine Palace, it was named the "Medicine Palace Pill". It was one of the most difficult rank 3 pills to refine.
According to Big Beard, rank 1 and 2 pills couldn't even be considered pills to alchemists. They were just things that children used to practice. Rank 3 pills were the true beginning of alchemy. Only by successfully refining a Level Three Medicinal Pill could one be considered to have a basic understanding of the Dao of Alchemy. Only then would one have a bright future.
Only by successfully concocting the Medicine Palace Pill could one be considered to have achieved a small success in the Dao of Medicine Refinement!
In order to concoct the Medicine Palace Pill, there were ten main ingredients, twelve auxiliary ingredients, and nine auxiliary ingredients. It required a total of thirty-one kinds of medicinal herbs. It was the pill that required the most types of spirit herbs among all the third tier pills. The difficulty of refining it could be imagined.
After explaining the refining process of this pill in detail, Big Beard gave everyone a jade token to receive the medicinal ingredients. With this token, new students could go to the Spirit Herbs and Materials Hall to receive 100 sets of Medicine Palace Pill materials for free.
Yes, in order to let these rookies practice, Big Beard prepared 100 sets of materials for each of them. If a hundred sets of materials were used up but still could not be successfully refined, it meant that the student was really not suitable to study in the Medicine Palace and would be expelled from the Medicine Palace!
In the Medicine Palace, all the spirit herbs and materials required Medicine Palace contribution points to purchase. Chu Chen inquired about the price of the Medicine Palace Pill's ingredients. After checking, he was immediately shocked. Every set of Medicine Palace Pill materials and all the medicinal herbs added up actually required 100 contribution points. If not for the jade tokens that Big Beard gave them, the few of them right now would not even be able to afford one set of Medicine Palace Pill's medicinal herbs!
This time... was a massive opportunity!
Chu Chen's eyes instantly lit up. Through these few days of understanding, he knew that the Medicine Palace's contribution points were especially hard to earn. To any Medicine Palace disciple, contribution points were never enough.
And the Tier 3 Medicine Palace Pill was one of the medicinal pills that late-stage Spirit Water Realm cultivators needed the most... If Chu Chen wanted to impact the realm within a short period of time, he must make full use of these 100 sets of Medicine Palace Pill materials!
A full 100 sets of materials. According to his own estimation, he would probably waste over a dozen sets of materials. This way, he could also successfully refine over 80 Medicine Palace Pills. It could absolutely let him break through to the Eighth Level Spirit Water Realm in one go!
Thinking up to here, Chu Chen immediately became excited. Without saying a word, he headed straight for the Medicine Palace's Spirit Herbs Material Hall. To the entire Medicine Palace, the Spirit Herbs Material Hall was definitely one of the most lively places. Every day, countless Medicine Palace students would come to use contribution points to purchase all sorts of spirit herbs and materials. This place could be said to be one of the most important places in the Medicine Palace.
When he was collecting the spirit herbs, Chu Chen unintentionally discovered Tang Rou's figure in the crowd. Hence, he subconsciously smiled at her.
But when Tang Rou saw him, she furrowed her brows and turned her back to him, as if she did not really want to see him.
This scene made Chu Chen touch his nose involuntarily. Did this lady hate him so much? He did not seem to have done anything outrageous, right?!
Helpless, he could only walk towards the Medicine Refinement Hall with a stomach full of depression.
Everything in the Medicine Palace relied on contribution points. If one had enough contribution points, they could use the best medicine refinement venue, purchase the most expensive spirit herbs and materials, and obtain the best alchemist guidance.
If one did not have contribution points, they were nothing. For new students like Chu Chen who had just entered the Medicine Palace, the only place where they could refine medicine for free was the free medicine furnaces with inferior fire quality in the Medicine Refinement Hall.
The Medicine Refinement Hall occupied an extremely large area. However, most of the high-quality medicine furnaces required contribution points to use.
The free medicine furnaces were of the worst quality among all the medicine furnaces. There were about 200 of them. After all, they were free things, so it was impossible to expect them to be good.
When Chu Chen arrived at the Medicine Refinement Hall, he realized that the entire hall was bustling with activity. Chu Chen was shocked to discover that most of the free medicine furnaces had already been used.
After all, new students had just entered the school. Many of them did not have any contribution points at all. After walking around a few times, Chu Chen finally found an unused medicine furnace in a relatively remote place … This was also the only free medicine furnace in the entire Medicine Refinement Hall that was unused. The other medicine furnaces were all occupied.
Hmm … Fortunately, my luck is not bad. There's still a spot left.
With that thought in mind, Chu Chen began to place the medicinal herbs on the table next to the medicine furnace. However, just as he was about to start the medicine refinement process, a slightly cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him. "I've already reserved this medicine furnace. You used it without saying anything. You don't know how to be polite at all!"
Hmm?
