It’s just that I have patrol duties today...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing thought for a moment before he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Wang was taken aback. So this was the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yuanhua divided the entire team into several smaller groups, each with their own responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to patrolling the mountains, there were two small teams that alternated every seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, it was Li Yunjing’s turn to patrol the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Wang wanted to see Li Yunjing’s skills and said with a smile, \"I’ll take your shift! You can focus on alchemy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! If that’s the case, I’ll refine a batch of True Essence Pills for you, Senior Brother Wang. Come to me tomorrow morning to collect them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone was willing to cover his shift for a day, it couldn’t be any better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Li Yunjing really didn’t want to patrol the mountains. Nothing ever happened, and it was just a waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing had completed his true disciple assessment task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in such a situation, no one would want him to leave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing didn’t dare to bring it up either; otherwise, his fellow disciples might see him as a deserter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when you’re in the martial arts world, you can’t always act on your own volition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since someone was willing to help him patrol for a day, Li Yunjing had no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great! Li Junior Brother, you’re straightforward! Then I’ll leave it to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Wang was pleased and immediately handed a batch of spirit medicine to Li Yunjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing carefully inspected it to confirm the quality was good and wouldn’t affect alchemy, then put the herbs away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exchanged a few more words with him, bid farewell to a few other fellow disciples, and then returned to his room to continue his closed-door alchemy session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Li Yunjing had already refined several batches of True Essence Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in good condition and very proficient in alchemy, so Li Yunjing didn’t need to be fully focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the refining details had long become second nature to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost effortlessly, Li Yunjing spent an hour refining this batch of True Essence Pills completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the lid of the pill furnace, took out ten pills, and carefully examined them. All ten pills were a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazingly, two of them were Tier Eight True Essence Pills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of Tier Eight True Essence Pill is rarely seen on the market, as most of them are consumed by alchemy masters themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it were to be sold, it would be to people close to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The efficacy of a Tier Eight True Essence Pill is at least ten percent higher than that of a Tier Nine pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate that ten percent; over time, with consistent use, one’s cultivation speed might be ten percent faster than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the average time it takes a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to break through to the Golden Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A talented Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator typically needs 200 years to break through to the Golden Core Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ten percent boost from the True Essence Pill, it would save 20 years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a significant amount of time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through realms for a cultivator is as difficult as climbing to the heavens, any improvement is beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more time saved in all aspects, the more time there is to comprehend the great Dao, increasing the hope of breaking through to the Golden Core realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other pills of Tier Seven, Tier Six... even Tier One, there’s no need to mention them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those can be regarded as divine pills indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Li Yunjing could refine two Tier Eight True Essence Pills set him apart from ordinary Tier Two alchemy masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Li Yunjing decided to give Senior Brother Wang one of the Tier Eight True Essence Pills and keep the other for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing placed one Tier Eight True Essence Pill and six Tier Nine True Essence Pills into a jade bottle, the remainder being his own reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh! Alchemy masters really make money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a sigh, even Li Yunjing felt he was being somewhat exploitative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his behavior was quite normal among alchemy masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some unscrupulous alchemy masters, after successfully refining pills, would even lie about a failure and keep all the pills for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, doing this too often would ruin their reputation, and no one would seek their services anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most alchemy masters still maintained professional integrity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s actions were considered quite conscientious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were someone else, they might not even give Senior Brother Wang one Tier Eight True Essence Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing alchemy, Li Yunjing thought about it and had nothing else to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With someone covering his shift, he went straight to bed to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eight days of continuous alchemy, Li Yunjing was somewhat exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow morning, when he handed over Senior Brother Wang’s pills, it would cause a sensation. The whole of Yellow Dragon Ridge would be astonished by his alchemy skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, more people would come seeking his help with alchemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe, from today on, he wouldn’t need to take any duties; there would always be someone willing to take his shift eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within Yellow Dragon Ridge, there are twenty-seven Foundation Establishment Realm fellow disciples. They all need elixirs; maybe helping them can accumulate significant wealth! This wealth could even be used to research and buy a spiritual artifact pill furnace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Li Yunjing’s heart burned with enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he had a spiritual artifact-level pill furnace, he would definitely be able to refine Tier Seven and above True Essence Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The better the pill furnace, the higher the efficiency and quality of the pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every alchemy master dreams of owning a perfect pill furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like how a sword cultivator desires a peerless sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an alchemy master, especially after advancing to Tier Two, Li Yunjing had an immense yearning for a spiritual artifact-level pill furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even felt an irresistible urge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A top-grade pill furnace was priced well above high-grade spiritual artifacts, even approaching top-grade spiritual artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, those were only low-grade spiritual artifacts in terms of quality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine the cost for a top-grade spiritual artifact pill furnace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be cheaper than the Cyan Cloud Ship, likely even more expensive than the one Li Yunjing ordered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, price doesn’t correlate with size!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Li Yunjing’s current wealth, top-grade pill furnaces were out of his reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best option for Li Yunjing was to commission someone to refine a low-grade spiritual artifact-level pill furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining a pill furnace was extremely intricate, and with his intermediate skills, Li Yunjing definitely couldn’t do it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Li Yunjing realized that aside from Yang Wenzheng and his disciple, he couldn’t find a better artifact refiner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were far away in the Shenxiao Mountain Range, a million li from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Myriad Li Communication Talisman couldn’t connect him with someone from the Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, only Yu Yuanhua could contact the Sect with great effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking Yu Yuanhua for help in transmitting a message?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing would be foolish to seek a scolding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it, Yu Yuanhua would certainly ignore him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now locked down in Yellow Dragon Ridge, no one could tell how long it would last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know the outside situation, nor whether the Sect’s army had arrived or if battles had started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one possibly privy to some information was Yu Yuanhua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was a significant figure and had no reason to update people like Li Yunjing on recent events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For common disciples like him, just obeying orders was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pill furnace is a problem, but an even bigger issue is whether the spirit grass my fellow disciples have can sustain refining a Tier Seven pill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another problem is the serious lack of pill formulas!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without pill formulas, I can’t refine other Tier Two elixirs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A master that can only make True Essence Pills isn’t a good alchemy master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, rubbing his chin, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These issues were major obstacles on the path of alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, stranded here, Li Yunjing couldn’t solve any of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, things are pretty good now, just take it slow!
