Chapter 305: Blood-Condensing Pill and Dust-Descending Pill

"Master Wan, the materials for the next batch of Yuan-Increasing Pills have long been prepared. As for the rare spirit medicines that can serve as main ingredients, only two have been found: a three-hundred-year-old Polygonatum and a two-hundred-year-old Fire Cloud Date. Additionally, I only found two rare first-rank pill formulas that you have been collecting long-term." The beautiful woman welcomed the green-robed person to the counter and said flatteringly to him.

"Bring the spirit medicines and pill formulas for me to see. The required spirit stones can be deducted from the pills sold this time." The green-robed person said indifferently, then flicked his sleeve onto the counter, and immediately more than a dozen medicine bottles appeared.

"Easy, easy. This concubine will check the pills first, and I will settle the account for you in a moment." The beautiful woman took out three boxes from the counter behind her and pushed them toward the green-robed person, saying in a charming manner.

After the green-robed person opened the boxes one by one, he saw a giant Polygonatum that was more than twice the size of an ordinary one in one box, a red date the size of a thumb emitting a red halo in another box, and a wrinkled yellow silk cloth and a pale white jade slip in the last box.

The green-robed person only checked the two spirit medicines slightly to confirm that there was no big problem with their age, then picked up the yellow silk cloth. After looking at it for a moment, he said "Body-Refining Pill" in surprise.

"Master has good eyes. This Blood-Condensing Pill is indeed a rare body-refining pill formula. Although it is only first-rank, it is said that consuming it can strengthen blood and energy. But because the 'Blood-Transforming Earthworm' used as the main medicine is too rare, and it has a certain refining difficulty, otherwise the original owner would not have sold this pill formula at a low price." The beautiful woman had already checked all the Yuan-Increasing Pills and explained to the green-robed person with a smile on her lips.

"More than a certain refining difficulty, I fear most first-rank alchemists would be unable to refine it. The materials used actually contain thirty-two different spirit medicines, and many of these spirit medicines have conflicting medicinal properties, which tests the alchemist's alchemy skills even more." The green-robed person said indifferently.

"That is other ordinary alchemists. Master Wan's alchemy has already reached perfection, and I fear you are not far from the second rank. This Blood-Condensing Pill will definitely not stump you." Madam Huo said with a light laugh.

"Hmm. If Shopkeeper Huo can acquire the Blood-Transforming Earthworm, I would also like to try it." The green-robed person replied indifferently.

"That is natural. This concubine has been cooperating with Master for such a long time. As long as it is the main medicine in the pill formula, our Hundred Treasures Pavilion will definitely try our best to help Master acquire it." The beautiful woman replied with a smile.

The green-robed person nodded, picked up another jade slip, and placed it on his forehead. But after his gaze flickered for a moment, he fell into contemplation.

"Why, is there a problem with this Dust-Descending Pill formula?" Seeing this, the beautiful woman could not help but ask.

"There should be no problem, but the main material used in this pill is actually Dew-Descending Grass, which is really a bit surprising." The green-robed person said slowly.

"If it weren't for the need for Dew-Descending Grass, how would the owner of the pill formula sell this pill formula? This Dew-Descending Grass is completely different from other spirit medicines. Not only is it very delicate and difficult to cultivate to maturity, but its medicinal properties can only be used within one or two hours of collection. After this period, it is no different from ordinary wild grass. After the Dust-Descending Pill is refined, it must also be consumed within a short time, otherwise, it will also lose all its efficacy." The beautiful woman also sighed.

"In that case, if I want to refine this pill, not only do I need to cultivate the Dew-Descending Grass myself, but basically, I can only use it myself." The green-robed person frowned.

"I fear the Dew-Descending Grass really needs Master to cultivate it personally. Fortunately, our pavilion also has the cultivation method for Dew-Descending Grass, which can be given to Master for free." The beautiful woman said flatteringly again, and then placed another jade slip that had been prepared long ago on the counter.

After thinking about it, the green-robed person nodded reluctantly, then put away the three boxes and the jade slip.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman was overjoyed and hurriedly took out a delicate wooden abacus and began to calculate with a "click, click, click."

"This batch of Yuan-Increasing Pills is still acquired according to the old rules. One hundred and ten spirit stones for an ordinary Yuan-Increasing Pill, eight hundred spirit stones for a mid-grade Yuan-Increasing Pill, totaling thirteen thousand four hundred spirit stones.

The two rare spirit medicines are worth eight hundred and thirty spirit stones and nine hundred and fifty spirit stones respectively. The body-refining pill formula is very rare, so our pavilion spent one thousand two hundred spirit stones to acquire it. The Dust-Descending Pill is much cheaper, only eight hundred spirit stones. A total of three thousand seven hundred and eighty spirit stones.

This time, our pavilion still prepared spirit medicines for twenty furnaces of Yuan-Increasing Pills for Master. These are worth one thousand one hundred spirit stones. Adding all these together is about four thousand eight hundred and eighty spirit stones. I will wipe off the fraction for Master, so let's calculate it as four thousand eight hundred spirit stones.

In this way, I will pay Master another eight thousand six hundred spirit stones."

After this Madam Huo calculated, she immediately took out a storage bag from her body, poured it onto the counter, and rolled out dozens of colorful mid-grade spirit stones.

After the green-robed person nodded, he flicked his sleeve again, and all the spirit stones on the counter disappeared.

"Master Wan, are you still unwilling to take on the business of refining pills for others?

I have some customers here who have raised the price a lot. Both the pill formula and other materials will be prepared in advance. Master just needs to go over and refine them on the spot." The beautiful woman asked the green-robed person tentatively again.

"I won't take it. Anyone who asks someone to refine pills definitely isn't asking for common ordinary pills, but some rare pills that ordinary alchemists cannot refine.

No matter what kind of pill, without accumulating experience through large-scale refining, no one can guarantee the success rate. Unless a second-rank alchemist refines first-rank pills, they can rely on past experience and superb alchemy skills to have a few points of certainty." The green-robed person refused without thinking.

"Master Wan, is it possible that even you can't do it? You were able to deduce the complete pill formula from a partial Yuan-Increasing Pill formula back then, and I also feel that Master's alchemy skills have improved rapidly in these few years. Last year, you even refined a top-grade Yuan-Increasing Pill." Madam Huo clearly still didn't want to give up and tried her best to persuade him.

"I was able to deduce the Yuan-Increasing Pill formula back then because there are several spirit medicines in the Yuan-Increasing Pill itself that can be replaced, and even the Yuan-Increasing Pills of major immortal sects are slightly different. Moreover, I have consumed quite a few of these pills, so I had long speculated about the spirit medicines used in them. This cannot be confused with refining pills for others." The green-robed person said indifferently.

"Then what is the purpose of Master collecting rare pill formulas and required spirit medicines everywhere..." The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question she had long had.

"The purpose of collecting rare pill formulas and spirit medicines is very simple: it is to accumulate alchemy experience. After all, whether the refining of such pills succeeds or fails, it is of great benefit to improving alchemy skills.

Of course, if one can occasionally refine one or two, that is even less of a loss." The green-robed person replied calmly.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Master uses most of the spirit stones from selling pills to collect pill formulas and spirit medicines. Then I wish Master early achievement as a second-rank alchemist. If you need anything else in the future, Master, just order this concubine." The beautiful woman realized upon hearing this, no longer mentioned refining pills for others, but instead said flatteringly.

"If Shopkeeper Huo has no other matters, I will take my leave first. The time for sending Yuan-Increasing Pills next time might be longer. I have to go on a long journey to handle some matters recently." The green-robed person said indifferently.

"Okay, Master, rest assured. This concubine will continue to help you collect pill formulas and spirit medicines." The beautiful woman replied without thinking, and then personally sent the green-robed person out of the shop.

The green-robed person walked out of the alley unhurriedly, then walked into several other shops one after another to buy some spirit meat, spirit rice, and other materials commonly used by cultivators. After that, he left the marketplace and released the mechanical flying bird again at the valley entrance, flying away through the air.

After flying over a hundred miles in one breath, the green-robed person confirmed that no one was following him, then landed near a deserted small hill, flashed, and went straight into a mountain wall nearby.

Inside the mountain wall was an exceptionally simple small cave dwelling, totaling only a few stone rooms.

After the green-robed person walked directly into a stone room with a crimson alchemy furnace, he wiped his face with one hand, and a mask appeared in his hand. His face revealed another twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old youth's appearance, which was precisely Wang Yu. ===== CHAPTER 306 =====
