C14 A Big Bet

After studying Elementary Reading of the Alchemy for a few days, Zhen Yinjian realized that ever since he obtained the blood of the Indestructible body of the Divine Emperor, his memory had become better and better. This thick brick book was already memorized by him in just half a day, and he also got to know some alchemy principles more clearly.

The next day, he went to his room knowing that he was familiar with the concocting process of the "Spring-Returning Pill" and started concocting the first batch of pills in his life.

Boom …

There was a loud sound, Zhen Yinjian ran out of his room with a dark face, then came out along with a cloud of black smoke. His face was dark and bitter.

As expected, concocting pills was not a simple task. Zhen Yinjian quickly found that his first batch of pills had failed.

"It's fine. We have plenty of time and materials." Zhen Yinjian walked into the room with a dark expression.

Boom …

There was another muffled sound, and before the door could open this time, black smoke leaked out from the window. Not long later, a 'black man' rushed out, spitting nonstop at the ground.

"F * ck, I don't believe this evil, that dog shit Spring-Returning Pill is so hard to refine." Then, Zhen Yinjian rushed back in.

In the next ten days, strange muffled sounds came out from a large house in Zhen Mansion from time to time, accompanied by black smoke and an indescribable stench. Seeing this scene, many of the servants avoided Zhen Yinjian's residence. They looked at his house in fear.

What a joke! Two days ago, some bold shop assistant had peeked at him closely, but in the end, he had fainted for three days and three nights just because of inhaling the black smoke!

The door creaked open and Zhen Yinjian walked out in a daze. He didn't think that this Spring-Returning Pill would be so hard to refine. He had been refining for ten days but still couldn't concoct a qualified pill.

He took out two freshly concocted pills from his pocket. These pills looked very similar to the "Spring-Returning Pill" in "A Brief Study of the Foundation of Pills". They were shiny black and exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.

One had to know that the color of the "Spring-Returning Pill" in the manual was much redder than the pitch-black pill in his hands. Moreover, the fragrance of the pill was definitely not less than that.

"Oh my god, why is refining pills so difficult!" Zhen Yinjian screamed helplessly.

In order to concoct this so-called Spring-Returning Pill, he had already used up all of the medicinal ingredients that were worth five thousand taels of silver, thus he had obtained the two semi-finished products that were slightly better. The cost of refining a pill was so high that it left him astonished.

This was even the lowest grade of medicinal pills, not even worth mentioning. If it was a high-grade medicinal pill with a complicated nature and over a hundred medicinal ingredients, wouldn't it be even more difficult? Thinking about that, Zhen Yinjian felt his scalp tingle.

Zhen Yinjian sat on the floor and looked at the dregs and waste pills in the room. He scratched his head, which was like a chicken's nest, feeling worried. Now that Hua Guang had borrowed money from the clan elders and was still unable to successfully refine the Returning Spring Pill, what should he do?

He did not have much money left, and the clan elders would probably not lend him any more money. He originally planned to use his alchemy skills to earn more money to learn new pill formulas, but now he was stuck.

What should he do?

"Wait, I seem to remember that the spatiotemporal technique in the Exchange System can be used to practice and refine alchemy through the method of time acceleration?"

As he was at the end of the line, Zhen Yinjian suddenly realized that he still had the System. Thinking up to here, he slapped his thigh and did as he was told.

Zhen Yinjian then immersed his consciousness into his mind, and once again, he saw the strange heart of the strongest peach transport system. Then, he used his consciousness to enter the trading library and saw that the "spatiotemporal technique" indeed had this function.

The function of the "Pill Formation Practice" was to set up a function so that the practitioner could practice and use the spatiotemporal technique to practice their alchemy and arrays. Every time they tried to refine a pill or an inscription formation, the amount of materials they had to spend would be unlimited.

With such a powerful function, of course the price would be different. Spending two times more on the spatiotemporal technique than on the Communication Martial Arts, which meant that the 200 Conquest Points could be exchanged for a year's worth of practice.

Quickly spending 200 Conquest Points, Zhen Yinjian's knowledge was instantly placed in the System Dimension. In the space created by the spatiotemporal technique, he saw the pill furnaces and herbs that he previously used to refine pills, so he started to practice the extremely time-consuming and wasteful art of concocting pills.

Fortunately, it was the same as the martial arts practice. As a pill refiner, he did not feel exhausted from the practice of alchemy. This was also one of the wonders of this space.

When Zhen Yinjian's Magic Awareness came out of the System Dimension, only a few breaths of time had passed in the real world. He was very satisfied with the effects of this alchemy exercise.

First, after a year of endless practice, he had finally found the method to concoct the Spring-Returning Pill. Currently, the success rate of concocting this kind of common pill was more than 95%, and there was also a 20% chance to refine a high-quality Spring-Returning Pill that surpassed the records of the Alchemy Book.

Why did he say that the quality of the Spring Pellet was high? This was because he could feel that the pill would exude a fragrance that would float for ten miles. The potency of the pill was even richer than the Spring Restoration Pill he had refined before. As for the exact standard of such high quality pills, he had no idea. For this matter, he planned to find the medicine shop and inquire about it.

Alright, since he knew the method to concoct the Spring Pill, he would have to speed up his progress and concoct a batch of pills. Arriving at the market once more, he found the medicine store where he had bought the medicine before.

"Boss, continue to buy me two thousand taels of medicinal ingredients for the Spring Pill. You should know the ratio. Hurry up." Zhen Yinjian walked into an antique medicine store and knocked on the table.

"Aiyo, customer, you've come again. Did you use up the batch of medicinal ingredients you bought last time?" A man wearing a square cloth scarf greeted him.

"Yes, yes, quickly, I still need to go back and concoct pills." Zhen Yinjian knocked on the table impatiently.

"Alright, please wait a moment, I'll bring it over from the back of the hall." Although the shop assistant didn't know why the man in front of him needed so much of the ingredients for the Spring Pill, he didn't ask for more.

No one would feel sorry for the money that was delivered to them.

"What an arrogant brat. Is the Spring Restoration Pill something that a brat like you can refine?" A high-pitched voice rang out, and a slender old man with a goatee and dressed in green walked in.

The moment he entered the room, he glanced at Zhen Yinjian in disdain and rolled his eyes.

"Young man Feng Daju is not afraid of biting off more than he can chew. The Spring Restoration Pill may be an ordinary medicinal pill, but it isn't something that a young lad without a sect like you can watch out for."

As soon as the old man entered the room, he casually found a rattan chair and sat down.

"Tong Manager, what brings you here?" As if he heard the voice, a shopkeeper with a rich and noble aura walked out and smiled at Goateed Old Man in flattery.

"Old Wang, I came to purchase a batch of Silver Leaved Grass from you. Those pill refiner masters want a lot of it this month, so I know that you must have plenty of it. I won't bother you any longer." The old man stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile.

"Alright, since it's Tong Manager's order, we have to help out. "Who doesn't know that you're the biggest drug refiner in the city, a big shot who can interact with pill refiners." Manager Wang was laughing so hard that he could barely keep his eyes open.

"It's over, you're still the sensible one, Old Wang. In the future, you'll have your own benefits." Faced with Manager Wang's praise, this old man was only slightly modest and actually accepted it.

"Young man, did you hear what I just said?" Seeing that Manager Wang had gone to get the medicine, the old man tilted his head and looked at him with an unfriendly gaze.

"I don't understand what you're saying, so it's not good for me to say too much." Zhen Yinjian laughed dryly.

"Don't understand, are you a fool? I'll give you a few tips if you look good. "Don't waste your time. I see that you don't have a master like you, so don't expect to rely on those third-rate Alchemy Books to learn alchemy." The old man sipped his tea.

"That's interesting. Why can't I refine pills when others can?" Having repeatedly been looked down on by this old man, he was already starting to get angry.

"If I say that you can't refine it, then you can't." From the eyes of others, if I, Tong, dared to say that I'm number two in Peace City, no one would dare to say that I'm number one. You don't need to ask about my apricot leaf's reputation. This kid is useless, he's simply laughable. "

Goateed Old Man sneered, crossed his legs, and poured the teapot into his mouth.

"That would be interesting. How about we bet on me being able to concoct the Spring-Returning Pill?" Zhen Yinjian's face turned cold.

"Haha, little brat, give me some money. Alright, I'll bet on it. If you can concoct the Spring-Returning Pill within seven days, you're willing to pay double the price. I'll take as much as you have, us apricot leaf will take it. "

The old man put down the teapot and pressed his palm on the table, his eyes gleaming.

"But if you can't refine it, then you'll have to pay me a hundred thousand silver."

"Ok, that's settled then. I'll see you in seven days." Zhen Yinjian clapped his hands and smiled.

"Buddy, give me five thousand taels of medicinal materials for the Spring Pill. I want it right away!" Zhen Yinjian turned around and shouted into the room.

Goateed Old Man, on the other hand, remained expressionless. He waited for Manager Wang to carry away all the medicinal materials and then left.

"Young man, alas, I don't know what to say to you." Manager Wang shook his head at Zhen Yinjian. He handed Zhen Yinjian a big bag of ingredients for the Spring-Returning Pill and left.

He had already treated Zhen Yinjian as an emotional child of a rich family.

After leaving the medicine store, he was elated. How could this old man know that he had the system to cheat and complete a quest that was beyond his reach? This old fogey was looking down on him so much that he had to "repay" him a little bit.

When he thought of Tong Manager's distressed look, Zhen Yinjian's smile became even worse.
