Chapter 284

Danxia Peak, in the alchemy hall underground.

The busy scene in the past stopped at this moment.

Only one large alchemy room was operating.

The one refining alchemy on it was not any alchemist of the Luotian Society, but a stranger first-tier alchemist named Facing Qi Yi.

The other party came from the Danyuan Sect!

On his side, there was a group of spectators carefully observing his alchemy.

Led by Luo Chen, who was interested.

Qu Lingjun, Sister Mi Li, Ma Shoupu, and Qiu Ying stood behind with concerned expressions.

There was another late-stage Qi Refining cultivator wearing a white robe, standing respectfully beside Luo Chen, explaining carefully.

"Among this generation, Qi Shixiong and I are the best at alchemy, especially Qi Shixiong, he is extremely favored by Master... Danyuanzi."

"No matter, death is the greatest, at least there is the grace of teaching, you don't have to avoid it."

Luo Chen waved his hand and said.

Xu Jie's face relaxed slightly, and he continued: "Facing Qi Yi Shixiong is best at two kinds of first-tier pills, one is Grain-Bigu Pill, and the other is the best-selling Yangyuan Pill of our Danyuan Sect."

Luo Chen asked curiously: "Is the Bigu Pill an orthodox first-tier Bigu Pill?"

"Hmm, yes. Not some Bigu powder, but a first-tier Bigu Pill." Xu Jie nodded.

Luo Chen rubbed his chin, thinking while saying: "You continue!"

Xu Jie organized his words and continued cautiously: "In these two types of pills, Facing Qi Yi Shixiong has a success rate of 10% and 40% respectively."

"Under normal circumstances, what he refines most often is the Yangyuan Pill, which has already obtained the true transmission of Master Danyuanzi."

"Sometimes, he can even refine mid-grade Yangyuan Pills!"

A 10% success rate for Bigu Pill is nothing to talk about.

However, a 40% success rate for Yangyuan Pill made Luo Chen a bit surprised.

According to his system's division, this is almost the level that can be reached by perfect-level proficiency.

The only thing missing is that the pill grade is not high enough to stably produce mid-grade Yangyuan Pills.

"What about you?" Luo Chen asked.

Xu Jie replied immediately: "What I am best at is also the Yangyuan Pill. It's just that because I started too late, plus limited talent, I can only refine low-grade Yangyuan Pills, and the success rate is only about 30%."

30%?

Luo Chen nodded secretly in his heart, this is not bad either.

It can be considered as proficient level, just lacking experience in refining mid-grade pills.

"Have you calculated how much profit you and your Shixiong created for the Danyuan Sect before?" Luo Chen asked.

Xu Jie did not hesitate and answered immediately, "Calculated. Taking me as an example, I could create about 1500 spirit stones a month, about 18,000 a year."

"Shixiong is a bit more powerful, about 30,000 a year."

"Of course, these are just gross profits after deducting raw material costs. As for personnel expenses and other aspects, it is not something we can understand."

Hearing this answer.

Luo Chen's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

The two added together, only 48,000?

It looks like a lot!

But if you deduct various personnel expenses, how much is left in a year?

"Can you tell me, what was the annual salary for you and your Shixiong before?"

Mentioning this, Xu Jie's chest straightened a bit.

He said proudly: "Because we are alchemists, the salary is on par with the ninth-level Qi Refining Elders in the sect!"

"My annual salary is 2400, Shixiong is more, a full 3000!"

Hearing this answer.

Luo Chen didn't express his opinion yet, but the four people behind him couldn't help but laugh.

This laugh made Xu Jie a bit inexplicable.

Luo Chen also shook his head with a light smile, "It seems that fellow Daoist Danyuanzi exploited you very severely!"

Xu Jie was stunned.

He had been refining alchemy in the sect for a long time and rarely went out.

Therefore, he did not understand the salary standards of first-tier alchemists in major forces outside.

"Lingjun, talk about your income!" Luo Chen said lightly.

Qu Lingjun straightened his back and said proudly: "In our Luotian Society, the salary given to first-tier alchemists starts at at least 300 a month! A year is 3600!"

"Like me, it's 500 a month, 6000 a year!"

"Moreover, besides spirit stones, there are other benefits. Such as free learning of spells, such as pills that can increase the foundation of the soul, and occasionally receiving personal guidance from my Master!"

"Not only that, we don't refine alchemy alone like you, but there will be medicine apprentices and fire workers to assist."

Xu Jie was stunned.

He had observed the alchemy skills of these four people before.

To be honest, in his opinion, except for Qu Lingjun who had something to take, the others were not very good!

If first-tier alchemists were also divided into upper, middle, and lower grades like magic tools and pills.

Then his Shixiong was at least upper grade, and he also had a mid-grade or higher level.

And these four alchemists of the Luotian Society were basically at the entry level of lower grade.

At most Qu Lingjun, perhaps had a mid-grade level.

Of course, this division is too simple and rude.

The value an alchemist can create also lies in whether the pills they can refine have high value.

However, even so.

He was greatly shocked!

A few newcomers who had only entered for a few years at most, earned more spirit stones than they, who had been refining alchemy for decades!

This is too unreasonable!

And why!

Suddenly, he thought of the evaluation of Luo Chen outside.

Not the recent ones like ruthless, vengeful, keeping promises.

But the earlier evaluation.

Kind-hearted, generous to others!

Now it seems, it is really generous!

"If, I refine alchemy in the Luotian Society in the future, with my level, how much salary can I get per month?"

Thinking of the possibility, Xu Jie was a bit excited.

He was limited by too few cultivation resources and had been trapped at the seventh level of Qi Refining for so many years.

If he could get one or two hundred more spirit stones a month, maybe he would have a chance to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in the future.

And if he reached Great Perfection, I heard Luo Chen... President!

In this regard, he never stuck people, and often gave strong support to Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators in terms of Foundation Establishment!

Clang!

Just when Xu Jie's mind was turbulent, a slight sound came from the middle of the alchemy room.

Alchemy ended!

Luo Chen casually withdrew the sound insulation cover.

The conversation of the few of them just now had always been under his master-level sound insulation technique, so it did not affect Facing Qi Yi's alchemy.

At this moment, alchemy ended, and Facing Qi Yi silently collected the pills in front of everyone.

Xu Jie leaned forward and said happily:

"Good luck, this time thirteen Yangyuan Pills were made."

"Shixiong, your alchemy skills have improved again."

Facing Qi Yi smiled reluctantly.

Holding those few Yangyuan Pills, he walked to Luo Chen uneasily.

Luo Chen was not pretentious, and took those pills on the spot, carefully examining them.

Low-grade Yangyuan Pill!

It had been contacted before, the medicinal power is far higher than the mid-grade Jade Marrow Pill, slightly lower than the upper-grade Jade Marrow Pill.

The price is stably between ninety and one hundred all year round.

The reason for this range is that the low-grade Yangqi Pill sold by the Spirit Medicine Pavilion has always been lower.

Otherwise, there is no competitiveness.

It's just that this weak competitiveness had no existence at all after the Luotian Society's Jade Marrow Pill entered the Tianlan market.

After examining, Luo Chen nodded.

"Medicinal materials fused in place, fire control is insufficient, impurities are not removed enough... But in the processing of the main material, there are quite a few unique points. The alchemy technique you used is the Peiyuan Hand?"

Hearing this evaluation, the taciturn Facing Qi Yi's eyes widened.

These advantages and disadvantages were all commented on by his Master Danyuanzi last year.

But you must know, his Master is a master-level existence who is proficient in refining Yangyuan Pills and can stably produce mid-grade Yangyuan Pills, and even occasionally produce upper-grade ones!

Now this Luo Chen, just by watching him refine alchemy once.

Holding the freshly baked pills, simply identifying them.

He could give this evaluation.

Facing Qi Yi couldn't help but ask: "Senior, have you ever refined Yangyuan Pills?"

"Never."

"Then why, are you so knowledgeable?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "One law leads to all laws, it's just a mere first-tier pill. I haven't refined Peiyuan Pills, but I have refined quite a few other first-tier pills."

Facing Qi Yi suddenly realized.

If he had refined several first-tier pills, having this level of vision seems to be a matter of course?

He didn't know that for the other first-tier pills Luo Chen mentioned, he had what kind of heaven-defying proficiency.

Those were all existence that could easily refine top-grade pills!

Even, he could optimize and improve the pill formula of the Jade Marrow Pill, which had innate defects.

Just looking at Luo Chen's alchemy skills now.

Give him an unfamiliar first-tier pill formula, and he has the confidence to enter the door based on his own understanding without using the system's achievement points!

It's just a mere Yangyuan Pill!

After Facing Qi Yi finished alchemy.

Next, it was Xu Jie's turn.

However, the other party seemed to be immersed in the previous fantasy expectations, so his concentration was not enough.

By the end of refining, he failed.

Looking at Xu Jie, who had a face of ashes and despair, Luo Chen shook his head with a smile.

"I have already seen your level, all follow me out!"

A group of people followed Luo Chen out of the alchemy room and came to the hall of the Hall Master of Qu Lingjun.

Lingjun Hall!

Sitting in the upper position, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

While he was thinking, the other six people didn't dare to breathe.

Not only because of Luo Chen's strength, realm, reputation, but also because the other party had greater achievements in the alchemy path they were most proficient in.

Second-tier alchemist, it is not based on cultivation realm.

But based on whether they can stably refine second-tier pills.

Now that they are struggling to refine first-tier pills, they dare not think about how difficult it is to refine second-tier pills.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen's voice sounded in Lingjun Hall.

"From now on, you two, Facing Qi Yi and Xu Jie, are alchemists of my Luotian Society, belonging to the Alchemy Hall, commanded and dispatched by Hall Master Qu Lingjun."

"Any objections?"

Xu Jie, who had been out of his mind because of the alchemy failure.

After hearing this arrangement, he was stunned first, then overjoyed.

"No objections, everything follows the President's arrangement!"

Seeing that Facing Qi Yi next to him didn't react, he hurriedly pulled the other party's sleeve.

"Shixiong! What are you stunned for, hurry up and thank the President for not killing us!"

Facing Qi Yi opened his mouth and finally said "Listen to the arrangement."

Yes!

Grace of not killing!

The Danyuan Sect had already been destroyed, and the remaining low-level cultivators were also scattered.

Perhaps there would be experts in the sect who would gather the remnants in some place to revitalize the mountain gate.

But at least within a hundred years, it is impossible to take revenge on the Luotian Society.

A hundred years?

By that time, they would have long been a pile of white bones!

Now Luo Chen didn't kill them, but recruited them into the sect, which can be considered a grace.

Luo Chen looked at the two and continued: "Becoming an alchemist of my Luotian Society, the treatment is naturally different."

"But considering that you are new members, and also from the Danyuan Sect."

"So in terms of salary, it will be issued according to your standards in the Danyuan Sect for the time being."

Hearing this.

Xu Jie's excited expression seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water, and it drooped down.

Two hundred a month, two thousand four a year?

What kind of cultivation is this?

Facing Qi Yi didn't care, and was even surprised that Luo Chen was willing to pay them a salary instead of ruthlessly exploiting them.

After all, they are considered "captives".

Just when the two had different moods.

Luo Chen's words continued.

"After entering the Alchemy Hall, you two will continue to refine Yangyuan Pills. Don't touch other pills."

"Facing Qi Yi, take some time to teach the refining techniques of Bigu Pill to Qiuying."

"She is currently refining Bigu powder that is not graded, and needs your guidance."

Having already accepted Luo Chen's arrangement.

Now these are all logical.

Facing Qi Yi had no objections.

Qiuying next to him was slightly excited, she, this alchemist, had always been nameless.

If she could truly master the refining method of Bigu Pill, then she would be a proper alchemist in the future!

"Xu Jie, teach the Peiyuan Hand technique to Ma Shoupu."

"The efficiency of the Peiyuan spirit liquid he prepares has always been unable to go up. If he learns Peiyuan Hand, the efficiency will be greatly improved."

Xu Jie, who was disappointed before, could only hum muffledly at this moment.

Looking at the different expressions of the two, Luo Chen smiled.

"Letting you guide the two is naturally not working for free."

"On the basic salary, an extra 100 spirit stones will be given every month."

"If you have time, also guide Sister Mi Li and Lingjun together, and pass on some alchemy experience."

"With five years as an assessment period, after five years, if you do well, I will adjust your treatment according to the situation."

When these words were said!

Xu Jie's gray face turned ruddy bit by bit.

Without any hesitation, he immediately shouted, "Thank you, President!"

In his heart, he exclaimed even more.

Luo Chen is benevolent, it really lives up to its reputation!

Facing Qi Yi was also a bit surprised.

He was not surprised by the salary increase, but surprised that Luo Chen was so willing to promote his subordinates.

You must know, in the Danyuan Sect, for alchemy, their Master Danyuanzi had always been very stingy.

Even fire workers and medicine apprentices were not equipped for them.

Just afraid that those knowledge about alchemy would be learned by others.

Didn't expect that Luo Chen would...

"Oh, by the way!"

Luo Chen remembered something and said to Qu Lingjun: "Didn't the Alchemy Hall have a batch of medicine apprentices and fire workers vacant recently?"

Qu Lingjun nodded hurriedly, "Yes. Because Master, you have been refining alchemy on Tianlan Peak, a large group of skilled hands were idle before. They are still complaining that they can't help you refine alchemy, and their income has decreased."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "You divide this batch of people into two batches and hand them over to Facing Qi Yi and Xu Jie. Let them get familiar with the refining process of Peiyuan Pill."

Qu Lingjun nodded.

This is not a big deal, just cultivate according to the process.

It's just that Facing Qi Yi and Xu Jie were a bit excited.

Which alchemist likes to do everything personally!

You have to prepare medicinal materials, and you have to control the fire at all times, sometimes when you are not feeling well, you have to insist on refining a furnace of pills before you can rest.

In the future, they can finally get rid of those trivial matters.

Facing Qi Yi also looked at Luo Chen with strange eyes, this person's character is completely different from their Master!

Suddenly, he thought of something.

If it were before, he would still hesitate, but now he said without thinking:

"Pre... President!"

"Hmm?" Luo Chen looked at him, "Is there anything else?"

Facing Qi Yi said: "Yangyuan Pill refining, Shidi and I have no problem. But the cost of this pill is too high, so the price cannot come down. Under the impact of your Jade Marrow Pill and the Zheng family's Fire Sesame Pill, there is no profit."

"Do we still need to refine it in large quantities?"

Hearing this question, Luo Chen laughed.
