Chapter 25: 【Spirit-Nurturing Precious Pill, Pill Formed in Half a Year】 (Seeking recommendation votes)

A total of 273 Baiyuan Fruit trees, maturing once every five years, calculating the harvest of 70 Baiyuan Fruits per fruit tree on average, then floating up by half a percent, rounding up, the average income per fruit tree must be greater than 74, so that it could be guaranteed not to lose money.

And the annual production of a Baiyuan Fruit tree varied between 60 and 90; the Baiyuan Fruit trees here had various ages, but after being cared for for so long, the lowest yield was also seventy, and some top-notch ones could reach over eighty-five.

According to what Song Zhihao said just now, there were 272 Baiyuan Fruit trees last year, 60 of which matured, harvesting 4620, and after deducting the 4440 that had to be handed over, there was still a surplus of 180.

Market price, one low-grade spirit stone could buy six Baiyuan Fruits, so this was a surplus of only 30 spirit stones.

This number looked very small, but thinking about the fact that an Outer Sect Disciple's monthly subsidy was no more than two spirit stones, and an annual income was barely 24 spirit stones, one could find how much oil and water this was.

Moreover, this was only the income from one kind of spirit fruit.

Lu Chengtong was now only managing this one area, but there were also two kinds of spirit herbs; others had multiple kinds of spirit herbs in their hands, and an annual income of at least a hundred spirit stones was not a problem.

In two years, one could save up the money to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Compared to the bitter mining area supervisor, this was definitely a fat job!

Lu Chengtong looked at the other kind of spirit herb he managed, the "Star Spirit Vine Fruit," which was also a common and highly consumed alchemy medicine.

It was most commonly used to refine the "Star Spirit Pill," and it had another name, called the "Spirit-Nurturing Pill," used to help Qi Refining Realm cultivators break through small realms, for example, breaking through from the Qi Refining sixth layer to the Qi Refining seventh layer, one could use this kind of pill.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there were enough pills, the Qi Refining Realm could rush through all the way.

But this kind of pill had a certain loss to the spirit root after the impact, so generally, no one dared to eat more.

A person could eat at most two, otherwise, it would have a significant impact on the spirit root.

This would increase the difficulty of Foundation Establishment, and even if Foundation Establishment was successful, it might affect the quality of the Dao foundation.

Lu Chengtong, however, suddenly thought that the 【Fetal Transformation】 supernatural power he possessed seemed to be able to make up for the foundation; after he refined the Star Spirit Pill, he could try it.

The value of a Star Spirit Pill was much more expensive than the Gathering Qi Pill; first of all, the materials required were of great value.

One Star Spirit Vine Fruit plant could only produce one fruit, and if one wanted to refine a furnace of Star Spirit Pills, two fruits were needed.

The price of one Star Spirit Pill was about twenty low-grade spirit stones; although it wasn't expensive, it was worth two hundred Gathering Qi Pills.

The value of the Star Spirit Fruit was naturally not low.

The Star Spirit Vine Fruit had a characteristic: it had to be accompanied by a Baiyuan Fruit tree, otherwise it couldn't survive.

One Star Spirit Vine Fruit plant followed one Baiyuan Fruit tree; if the fruit tree died, it would also wither.

The Star Spirit Vine Fruit matured once every three months, because the quantity itself had no room for fluctuation, so it didn't need to float up by many points, and it was how much it was.

If it was lost for some reason, the Spirit Plant Master still needed to compensate for it himself.

That was to say, this area actually only had the Baiyuan Fruit tree that could scrape out a little profit.

But that was for others.

Lu Chengtong had the 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 supernatural power in his hand; relying on the recovery speed of the Treasure Mirror's soul power, he could completely rely on the Herb Garden to continue accumulating his own wealth.

Find out the truth and avenge the family.

This was an arduous task, and he needed to be prepared for a long-term battle, so funds were very important.

For the next three months, Lu Chengtong didn't leave Youzhi Valley.

He concentrated on learning the spells for cultivating various spirit herbs, and at the same time, integrated into the role of a Spirit Plant Master as soon as possible.

In the fourth month, he was already familiar with his "business" and planned to refine Star Spirit Pills.

Compared to the Baiyuan Fruit, the cost-effectiveness of the Star Spirit Pill was higher, and this was also a very good training process for his alchemy.

He was now at the Qi Refining sixth layer perfection, just right to use the Star Spirit Pill to break through.

If he wanted to refine Star Spirit Pills, he had to obtain Star Spirit Vine Fruit first.

The Star Spirit Vine Fruit matured once every three months; today it had grown for exactly one month, and Lu Chengtong chose a plant with a relatively vigorous life aura and unleashed the 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 supernatural power.

With the soul level of the Treasure Mirror's Foundation Establishment late-stage, he consumed fifty percent of his soul power to unleash the supernatural power.

The immense vitality was infused into this vine fruit, the branches became thicker, the leaves became more developed, and the fruit expanded a bit.

After that, he unleashed the supernatural power once every three days with the Treasure Mirror; after four times, the fruit matured.

That was to say, one supernatural power could shorten the growth cycle of the Star Spirit Vine Fruit by fifteen days; the three-month complete growth cycle could be shortened to eighteen days.

Originally it could only mature once every three months, obtaining one spirit fruit; now it could mature five times, obtaining five spirit fruits.

Half a year later, he had saved eight spirit fruits, the auxiliary materials had long been purchased, and he started the first refining of the Star Spirit Pill.

The materials in his hand were only enough to refine four times, so he needed to be extra cautious.

Over the past half year, the entire refining process had been practiced countless times in his mind, and now that he was finally practicing it for real, he was even more careful.

A total of twenty-one auxiliary materials, after putting in eight, he put in the first Star Spirit Vine Fruit, then put in eight auxiliary materials, put in the second Star Spirit Vine Fruit, and finally put in five auxiliary materials, covered the pill furnace, and started to refine slowly with a gentle fire.

The entire process of the refining process took more than half an hour.

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the pill cauldron, and the medicinal fragrance dissipated; it wasn't pure, it failed.

One of the materials didn't melt well, causing a conflict, making the materials explode and separate completely, unable to form pills.

He took out the Treasure Mirror, watched the video of his refining process just now repeatedly for two hours, and determined two places where problems might exist.

After organizing, he started the second refining.

He didn't throw away the dregs of the alchemy; instead, he collected them; this thing was excellent fertilizer and could accelerate the growth of spirit herbs.

In fact, the means for Spirit Plant Masters to increase spirit herb income was to buy the dregs of alchemy disciples at a low price to accelerate the growth of spirit herbs.

Although it couldn't be compared with Lu Chengtong's supernatural power and couldn't harvest many times in one cycle, pulling the time long, for example, harvesting eleven times in ten cycles, was considered a good income.

The second refining still failed, but he also successfully excluded one problem point.

After organizing again, Lu Chengtong specifically went to wash up, nourished his spirit, and then carried out the refining.

Heating the cauldron, putting in materials, fusing, putting in materials, fusing again, sublimating, settling, removing impurities; the entire process was quite cumbersome; grasping the timing, controlling the fire, testing the purity, etc., all had to be completed by the alchemist alone.

An excellent alchemist must have a clear head; when refining pills, he was like a machine without feelings, carrying out highly focused work.

Finally, a fresh medicinal fragrance dissipated, and then suddenly converged.

Open the lid, pill formed!

Inside the pill cauldron, three incomparably round pills emitting silver light were floating around.

The newly refined pill cauldron contained pill aura, which circled around the medicinal pill, protecting its spirit Qi from dissipating.

Lu Chengtong joyfully beckoned with a wave, using his spirit Qi to roll the pill into a bottle.
