Chapter 133

When he found Huang Youshu, he happened to be yelling at a few medicine slaves in the spiritual fields. When he saw Zhan Chen, he widened his eyes and shouted, "Zhan Chen! Where have you been? I came to inspect the spiritual fields today to see if you have made any progress. Who would have thought that you would be so unrepentant and absent from work! "

At this moment, Zhan Chen was no longer afraid of him. He calmly stared at this guy who only knew how to abuse others and said, "Supervisor Huang, you have no right to criticize me. Look at this."

As he spoke, he took out his supervisor's token and waved it in front of Huang Youshu.

"This is — — the supervisor's token! How did you get this thing? "Huang Youshu stared at the token in Zhan Chen's hand and shouted in disbelief.

"My position as supervisor was personally appointed by the Saintess. Supervisor Liu even personally handed the token to me."

"How could a lowly slave like you become a supervisor?"

"This is the truth. I came under Supervisor Liu's orders. He wants you to give me twenty mu of your spiritual fields to manage."

"No, I don't believe it! I want to confront you in front of brother-in-law! "Huang Youshu shouted unwillingly.

"Alright, let's go now." Zhan Chen smiled slightly. He finally saw this overbearing guy admit defeat in front of him. He was indescribably happy.

Thus, the two of them went to Liu Manfu. Coincidentally, there was no one else in the hall except for Liu Manfu. Huang Youshu immediately threw himself at his feet and cried, "Brother-in-law! Zhan Chen said that you wanted to give my fields to him. I refuse to accept it! "

Liu Manfu looked at this clown with difficulty and then looked at the calm and composed Zhan Chen. He had no choice but to say, "That's right, brother-in-law. It seems that I can only make you suffer for the time being."

"I refuse to accept it! Why? Zhan Chen's cultivation is only at the beginner level of Martial Honor. He is also a lowly slave who eats and does nothing. Why should he be a supervisor? "

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law has no choice this time. The Saintess personally gave the order and Supervisor An has also spoken. Just accept your fate."

"Huang Youshu, do you believe what I said this time?" At this time, Zhan Chen said from behind him.

"Hmph! I won't be a gentleman if I don't take revenge! "Huang Youshu climbed up from Liu Manfu's knees and spat at Zhan Chen fiercely.

A murderous intent flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes and he thought, "I'm afraid that you won't come. I will definitely kill a scum like you!"

After leaving Liu Manfu, Zhan Chen, Huang, Huang, Huang, Huang, Huang, Zhan Chen, Chen, and Huang, Huang, Zhan Chen Qian.

Huang Youshu had no choice but to reluctantly give up his own fields. However, he still had some thoughts in mind. He pretended to pick the fields that could only produce Fourth and Fifth Grade Spiritual Herbs and gave them to Zhan Chen, leaving the Sixth and Seventh Grade Spiritual Herbs for himself.

However, to Zhan Chen, this was already very satisfying. At this time, he was looking at the flourishing Spiritual Herbs in the Spiritual Fields and thought to himself, "That Huang Youshu purposely left the Spiritual Fields that could only produce low-grade Spiritual Herbs for me. He didn't know that this was exactly what I wanted. There are many Spiritual Herbs in the low-grade Spiritual Fields and they can provide me with a large amount of materials to refine pills!"

It turned out that the higher the grade of the Spiritual Fields, the higher the grade of the Spiritual Herbs produced. However, the quantity of Spiritual Herbs produced would be greatly reduced.

For example, the same Spiritual Field could produce over two thousand Middle Grade Four Spiritual Herbs, but if it was used to grow Fifth Grade Spiritual Herbs, it would only produce over a thousand Middle Grade Five Spiritual Herbs. Following this logic, the amount of resources needed to grow Sixth and Seventh Grade Spiritual Herbs would only increase.

Zhan Chen had already calculated that the twenty Spiritual Fields he was in charge of could produce around three hundred Fourth and Fifth Grade Spiritual Herbs every month. Excluding the portion that had to be handed over, he would still be able to obtain twenty to twenty Spiritual Herbs, which was thirty to sixty Spiritual Herbs. This was enough to refine three to four Fourth and Fifth Grade Medicinal Pills!

A newly appointed official would make great strides. Zhan Chen began to patrol the Spiritual Fields, and a group of medicine slaves surrounded him to curry favor.

Ma Shun, in particular, patted Zhan Chen's shoulder in order to show off, and said, "Steward Zhan Chen, congratulations, you've finally succeeded!"

Zhan Chen also nodded happily and said, "Brother Ma Shun, I will not forget your kindness! Go gather everyone here first, I have a few words to say. "

"Alright!" Ma Shun immediately went to do it.

Not long after, the twenty medicine slaves were gathered in front of him. Zhan Chen looked at their respectful expressions and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Most of these medicine slaves have higher cultivations than me, but now they all have to listen to me. It can be seen that becoming a small steward immediately changes one's status."

Thus, he said, "Everyone, the main reason I gathered everyone here today is to announce to everyone that I have become your steward of the Spiritual Fields. This will allow everyone to deepen their understanding of me.

"As you can see, my cultivation is lower than most of you, so there is no need to be afraid of me. Working under me, as long as you can complete your daily tasks, it is fine. I will not give you any more responsibilities, so everyone can rest assured! "

"Good!" After everyone heard his confession, their faces revealed joyful expressions. These medicine slaves had long since suffered enough abuse from the previous stewards.

Because Zhan Chen came from among them and had once worked with them in the fields, everyone was very familiar with each other and quickly became one with each other.

In the following days, Zhan Chen often went to the Spiritual Fields to investigate how to grow spirit herbs with the others.

Because he was amiable, humble, and didn't put on airs, everyone's enthusiasm for planting spirit herbs increased, and the spirit herbs grew well, far surpassing the other fields. At the end of the month, Zhan Chen finally received his first monthly income.

In a room on the third floor of the Spirit Field Park, Zhan Chen sat cross-legged on the floor. Looking at the sixty or so stalks of Fourth Grade Spirit Herbs placed in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement as he thought to himself, I was worried about the variety of spirit herbs harvested. I didn't think that the stewards would hold a secret exchange every month.

"This is good. This time, I will exchange the spirit herbs I don't need for the ones I do need, and it just so happens that I have five sets of ingredients to refine the Golden Yuan Pill."

The Golden Yuan Pill was an early Fourth Grade Metal-type pill. It was the most common pill recorded in the Jade Library's Basics of Alchemy. It was said that it was one of the essential pills for Martial Honors who possessed Metal-type vital energy to cultivate.

However, after reaching the Fourth Grade, pills became very precious. Sometimes, even if one spent a lot of money, it was not easy to get a few. Therefore, although it was said to be used daily, in reality, few Martial Honors could use it frequently.

Zhan Chen chose this pill for two reasons. Firstly, it was easy to obtain the ingredients, and secondly, he had never refined a Fourth Grade pill before. Therefore, he wanted to choose the simplest and most practical pill to test his skills.

Zhan Chen took out the Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron and placed it on the ground. He closed his eyes and began to meditate. He carefully thought over the finger techniques and hand seals to refine the Golden Yuan Pill.

After confirming that there were no mistakes, he placed his hand on the cauldron and called out, "Huang'er, we are about to begin!"

"Yes! Master. "As the artifact spirit, Huang'er replied.

"Make it as big as you can!" Zhan Chen suddenly sent a portion of his vital energy into the cauldron. The Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron instantly grew to the size of a volleyball.

The next step was to control the temperature of the fire. Zhan Chen ordered Huang'er to restrain the Nirvana Divine Flame to its weakest level. This was because the temperature of the flame was too high. If it was not controlled, the Fourth Grade Spirit Herb would not be able to withstand the temperature of the cauldron and would evaporate instantly.

Looking at the quiet flame at the bottom of the cauldron, Zhan Chen nodded his head in relief. It seemed that the temperature of the cauldron was just right.

Next, it was time to start refining. Zhan Chen took a deep breath and made up his mind. He picked up a jade box beside him and placed the spirit herb into the cauldron.

An amazing scene happened. The Nirvana Divine Flame seemed to have a life of its own. It evaporated the impurities of the spirit herb in an instant, leaving behind the emerald green essence.

Zhan Chen looked at the emerald green essence of the spirit herb and exclaimed, "What a magical flame. It can actually purify the impurities of the spirit herb to such an extent!"

In the past, he had seen his master, Zhao He, refine pills. However, even if his master was so skilled at controlling the fire, in the process of extracting the essence of the spirit herb, there would still be some unnecessary impurities left.

The existence of these impurities would not only affect the probability of forming the pill, but it would also affect the quality of the refined pill.

Moreover, when the unnecessary impurities in the pill entered the human body, they would hide and affect the advancement and aptitude of a martial artist's cultivation. Even taking too many pills would cause pill toxins to accumulate in the body and harm the health of the martial artist.

However, the Nirvana Divine Flame could purify the impurities in the pill to such an extent. This was something that Zhan Chen had never expected. He could not help but start to look forward to it. What kind of pill would be refined with such pure essence of the spirit herb?

The Nirvana Divine Flame continued to burn. Finally, the spirit herb essence was concentrated to one-third of its original size. Only then did it stabilize and no longer change.

At this time, the essence solution that Zhan Chen saw was as transparent as glass. He then placed the second spirit herb into the cauldron to be refined.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen spirit herbs had been extracted. However, Zhan Chen did not feel that his true essence had not been consumed much. He once again praised in his heart, "This Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron is really my lucky star. With it, it will not be difficult for me to refine higher grade pills."

However, now was not the time to relax. Looking at the spirit liquid essence in the cauldron, which was even more crystal clear than amber, Zhan Chen was on guard. This was because the most critical moment was coming.

Time was precious. He quickly raised his finger and quickly wrote the spirit text like he had practiced countless times. There was not the slightest bit of delay in the middle. His heart was filled with gratitude. This unique method of condensing pills was personally taught to him by his master.

After he finished writing, his finger pointed towards the cauldron. The spirit text entered the cauldron.

Almost at the same time, the spirit liquid essence rotated and shrank. Finally, it condensed into a solid pill.

However, this was not the end. Every pill of the fourth grade and above had to have a unique incantation to promote the essence of the pill.

Therefore, Zhan Chen followed the instructions in "Yuzhai's Alchemy Basics". He used his true essence to form eight incantations and sent them into the cauldron.

When these incantations hit the Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron, a magical scene happened. The entire cauldron actually flew into the air and began to rotate in the air.

At first, the cauldron rotated very slowly. However, it became faster and faster, to the point where it could not be seen clearly.

This process was recorded in the book. It was the process of forming and nourishing the Gold Yuan Pill. Spiritual Master Yuzhai was unique in creating this alchemy method. In his own words, the advantage of this method was that it could make the various spirit herbs more closely fuse with each other. This fully stimulated the magical power of the various spirit herbs, and the effect of the pill would be multiplied.

This process lasted for nearly 15 minutes. Only then did the rotation of the cauldron gradually slow down. Finally, it slowly fell to the ground.
