Although this kind of success rate was not the best among the alchemy grandmasters, there were very few people who could match it. Even the top seven pill shops in Yuan Spirit City could match or even surpass Lu Xiaotian's success rate for a few types of pills. However, it was extremely shocking to be able to maintain such an astonishing success rate for so many pills.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators in Yuan Spirit City who had never had a high status finally came across such a great alchemy grandmaster, so they naturally flocked over. Du Ming also hired a few people to act as stewards. They signed contracts, accepted spiritual items, and returned the pills. There were also people in charge of accepting the spirit stones. Du Ming was only in charge of managing the pill shop and occasionally helped Lu Xiaotian with some other mundane affairs.
This originally barren place later became as busy as a marketplace. As the number of people increased, some cultivators simply set up street stalls outside the pill shop to sell some spiritual items and even pills that they had. After all, if they sent a few portions of spiritual herbs over, there would definitely be more pills refined. If they sold the extra pills in their hands, they could even get some spirit stones back.
As time passed, this quiet place evolved into a small bazaar. Du Ming looked at the Nascent Soul cultivators coming and going in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Before he met Lu Xiaotian, he was still a human slave of the demon clan who lived a precarious life. Before he fell into the hands of the demon clan, he was just like these Nascent Soul cultivators coming and going. But now, as the steward of the pill shop, he was already the target of these people. Once he was annoyed, the contract would be pushed back and the person who entrusted it would be anxious.
Lu Xiaotian spent most of his time in his spacious pill shop. Even the steward, Du Ming, only sent the spiritual materials over. As for the spirit stones that were paid, Du Ming would go out every once in a while to exchange them for spirit crystals. After a long time, many people would take the initiative to exchange with Du Ming after knowing that the pill shop needed spirit crystals.
Occasionally, Du Ming would also go out to collect some pill recipes used by Soul Formation cultivators. Of course, there were also those who came with pill formulas to exchange for medicinal pills. This was because from time to time, Du Ming would sell some mid grade and even high grade spirit pills. Sometimes there would even be top grade spirit pills. Top grade spirit pills were rare even in Yuan Spirit City. Even if the major pill shops refined these pills, they would rarely sell them to the public. Instead, they would sell them to the major Sect or forces in Yuan Spirit City.
In comparison, Lu Xiaotian's Nameless Pill Shop was particularly different. Even the people who had come to commission alchemy knew that the pills that Du Ming had leaked must have been taken by Lu Xiaotian. There were even some bad rumors.
However, the more this rumor spread, the more people came to request alchemy. After all, being able to refine high-grade or even supreme-grade spirit pills was the ability of others. If he didn't look for the spirit pills in front of him, not to mention the arrogant grandmasters of the other pill shops, would they obediently hand over the spirit pills they refined? All crows were black in the world. The alchemists of the Nameless Pill Shop were extremely rare. Therefore, the rumor outside was that the alchemists of the Nameless Pill Shop had a higher success rate than what was announced.
Due to the Nameless Pill Store's growing reputation and the fact that it had listed some of the pills used by Soul Formation cultivators, there were a few Soul Formation cultivators who came forward to request for pills to be refined. The success rate had also reached about 30%. Therefore, in addition to the majority of Nascent Soul cultivators, there were also some Soul Formation cultivators coming in and out of the pill shop.
"We'll temporarily close the shop today!" When Du Ming hung this wooden sign in front of the pill shop, many Nascent Soul cultivators in front of it immediately became noisy.
More than half a year had passed. The Nameless Pill Shop had never stopped accepting commissions. They refined dozens of cauldrons of spirit pills every day. The quantity was comparable to that of several other alchemy grandmasters working at full power to refine pills. Moreover, the success rate was really rare. The sudden suspension of commissions made some cultivators who came because of the shop's reputation unable to accept it.
"Why? I specially rushed back from outside the city. It wasn't easy for me to pick such a time. Why are you suddenly not refining pills? "A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a scar on his face shouted.
"That's right. Why are you suddenly closing the shop?" The crowd outside the pill shop was turbulent.
"What are you shouting about? When we accept commissions depends on the mood of the alchemists." When the female attendants at the door were at a loss, Du Ming walked out with his hands behind his back and scolded them with a fierce expression.
"Nonsense. I even placed two sets of Yin Fault Soul Restoring Pills in your pill shop yesterday. Do you want to take them for yourselves?" Another skinny, dark-faced man said.
"Little Ying, return the spiritual items to him and compensate him for breaking the contract." Du Ming snorted coldly and called out to the female attendant called Little Ying, who was in charge of keeping the spiritual items.
"Yes, Steward Ming." The petite and ordinary-looking Little Ying quickly took the contract and the spiritual items of the skinny man, as well as the spiritual items that should be compensated.
"I made a contract. How can you break it just like that?" The skinny man didn't expect Du Ming to be so stubborn. Du Ming was only a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so he didn't have much fear.
"Do you think this pill shop is a place where you can behave atrociously? He Hu! "Du Ming shouted softly.
"Which rascal dares to cause trouble in Brother Tian's territory?" Before Du Ming finished speaking, a fat figure squeezed through the door. He Hu's childish face stared outside as a strong aura swept out.
"A Soul Formation cultivator!" The Nascent Soul cultivators present turned pale with fright, especially the skinny, dark-faced man. He was the first to bear the brunt of the aura and fell to the ground.
"With the contract as proof, even if we break the contract, we will compensate you with enough spirit stones. Scram!" With He Hu's support, Du Ming spoke with a lot more confidence. He directly threw out the spiritual items and the contract.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a calm temperament stepped out and asked, "When will your pill shop accept commissions again?"
"So it's Senior Tian. My master had an epiphany and began to cultivate in seclusion yesterday. As for when he will accept the commission, he will decide after he comes out of seclusion. "Du Ming looked at the middle-aged man in a blue robe and put away his arrogance. He looked extremely polite. The middle-aged man in a blue robe was a mid-stage Soul Formation cultivator, one stage higher than He Hu. He had made two commissions with the pill shop. Naturally, he couldn't treat him the same as those Nascent Soul cultivators.
"I see. Then I won't disturb you. When Alchemist Lu comes out of seclusion, you can accept the commission. Send this voice transmission talisman to me." Tian Bin nodded and flicked his finger. A talisman flew towards Du Ming.
"Okay, I will inform Senior Tian when the time comes." Du Ming took the talisman and nodded.
