Chapter 5: Plucking the System's Wool!

nan shen bu zhou

Azure Cloud Mountain

With the infusion of spiritual power! The Primordial Cauldron trembled slightly, transforming into a three-legged great cauldron half a person tall!

Ye Yang slowly raised his hand!

A wisp of flame formed from spiritual power rose in Ye Yang's palm!

The next moment! As Ye Yang's thought moved, a hundred-year-old ginseng appeared in the flame! This is the medicinal material Ye Yang exchanged for system points from the Heaven and Earth Treasury!

Under the flame's tempering! The hundred-year-old ginseng instantly turned into a lump of pitch-black liquid!

Ye Yang didn't waste time, directly throwing the liquid into the Primordial Cauldron!

Afterward!

A hundred-year-old lingzhi appeared! Ye Yang repeated the previous action, turning the lingzhi into a lump of earth-yellow liquid and throwing it into the Primordial Cauldron!

After that!

Ye Yang then exchanged for several more medicinal materials! When all the medicinal materials had been refined into liquid and entered the Primordial Cauldron!

Ye Yang took a deep breath!

The spiritual power of a late-stage Human Immortal began to be infused into the Primordial Cauldron!

Under the urging of the spiritual power! The Primordial Cauldron emitted a wave of scorching heat!

And the liquid inside the Primordial Cauldron began to fuse together in a mysterious pattern!

In the blink of an eye!

Half an hour passed! When all the liquid had completely solidified! Ye Yang stopped infusing spiritual power! The Primordial Cauldron gradually cooled! Ye Yang stepped forward to check the situation inside the Primordial Cauldron!

Only seven snow-white pills lay quietly in the Primordial Cauldron! Seeing this!

Ye Yang's mouth corners slightly rose, revealing a faint smile!

The pill he was refining at this moment is called the Human Immortal Pill!

Human Immortal Pill, a first-tier pill, can at most increase a Human Immortal's cultivation by a hundred years!

In that mysterious space! Under the guidance of an unknown existence, he had already refined the Human Immortal Pill hundreds of times!

But in reality!

This, however, is Ye Yang's first time refining the Human Immortal Pill!

Now!

Seven pills were successfully refined in one furnace! Ye Yang was naturally very happy!

Holding this thought! Ye Yang took out the seven pills one by one!

"Four pills, bearing five pill patterns!"

"Three pills, bearing six pill patterns!"

"As expected!"

"The Primordial Divine Pill Body greatly aids in alchemy!"

"."

Looking at the seven pills in his hand.

A flash of surprise and joy crossed Ye Yang's eyes.

Every genuine pill will display specific pill patterns on its surface! The number of pill patterns determines the pill's quality!

For example, the Human Immortal Pill! A perfect Human Immortal Pill possesses ten pill patterns, capable of increasing a Human Immortal cultivator's cultivation by a hundred years!

And the Human Immortal Pills Ye Yang refined have at most six pill patterns, only sixty percent of the efficacy of a perfect Human Immortal Pill!

In other words! Of these seven Human Immortal Pills Ye Yang refined! Four of them have five pill patterns, able to increase a Human Immortal cultivator's cultivation by fifty years! The other three have six pill patterns, able to increase a Human Immortal cultivator's cultivation by sixty years! For this situation! Ye Yang is already very satisfied! The reason is simple! The Human Immortal Pill, although only a first-tier pill, is not difficult to refine!

But Ye Yang's alchemy skill is not high either, only low-grade middle tier!

In that mysterious space, he refined the Human Immortal Pill hundreds of times!

Even at his best, he only refined Human Immortal Pills with five pill patterns! But now! He has refined seven Human Immortal Pills, four with five pill patterns and three with six pill patterns!

This surpasses Ye Yang's actual level!

One would think!

This should be the result of the Primordial Divine Pill Body's blessing!

"Right!"

"System!"

"Can the pills I refine be exchanged for points?"

"."

After a moment.

Ye Yang suddenly spoke, asking the System.

His current strength is still too weak! Therefore, he must find a way to obtain points! Only by gaining more system points can he become stronger!

For this!

He had long had his eye on the pills! If the pills could also be exchanged for system points! Then, obtaining points would not be so difficult for him! "Possible!"

"A Human Immortal Pill with five pill patterns can be exchanged for 5 system points!"

"A Human Immortal Pill with six pill patterns can be exchanged for 6 system points!"

"Please confirm, host!"

"Should we exchange all seven pills for system points?"

Just as Ye Yang's words fell.

The System's voice sounded in Ye Yang's mind.

Hiss~

So expensive?

He heard the system's words.

Ye Yang murmured, somewhat surprised.

To refine Human Immortal Pills! He exchanged a total of seven stalks of hundred-year medicinal herbs from the Heaven and Earth Treasure Trove!

These seven stalks of hundred-year medicinal herbs cost a total of 16 system points! The medicinal herbs worth 16 points were refined into seven Human Immortal Pills!

Human Immortal Pills with five pill patterns can be exchanged for 5 system points each! He has four, which can be exchanged for a total of 20 system points! Human Immortal Pills with six pill patterns can be exchanged for 6 system points each! He has three, which can be exchanged for a total of 18 system points! The seven Human Immortal Pills together amount to 38 system points! "Heh!"

I seem to have found a way to get something for free.

After a simple calculation!

A faint smile appeared on Ye Yang's face.

Using the medicinal herbs provided by the system, he refined pills! Then he sold the refined pills back to the system! He himself profited from the difference!

This deal, no matter how you look at it, he made a big profit!

But!

While being happy!

Ye Yang also harbored a hint of doubt in his heart! His little scheme, the system couldn't possibly not know! So why didn't the system stop him, but instead indulge him?

Host!

You don't need to doubt anything!

This system naturally knows you want to earn points using this system!

But this system finds no reason to stop you!

First!

The purpose of this system's existence is to cultivate the strongest alchemist!

If you want to earn more system points, you need to constantly refine pills!

With accumulation over time!

The host's pill-refining methods will also greatly improve!

This is something this system is happy to see!

Second!

As long as it's a valuable resource, this system can recycle it!

In this system's judgment!

The pills refined by the host indeed possess certain value!

Selling pills, the host can certainly earn system points!

But this system also doesn't engage in loss-making deals!

In such a situation!

Why would this system stop your actions?

He sensed Ye Yang's thoughts.

The system took the initiative to speak, answering Ye Yang.

In fact! The system still has some reasons it didn't tell Ye Yang! Pill refining is not always successful!

Once failed, it's a total loss! Pill refining also consumes a lot of time! The stronger the pill refined, the longer the time required! Therefore!

The system does not think Ye Yang is shearing its wool! In the system's eyes, this is merely a perfectly normal transaction!

So that's how it is!

He heard the system's explanation.

A flash of realization crossed Ye Yang's eyes! "In that case!"

Then I will use this path to quickly become stronger!
