Chapter 6 - New Skill, Elementary Pill Refinement Technique

The Pharmacist Valley of the Qingyun Sect was one of the more important places in the sect.

The most important places in the Qingyun Sect included the Scripture Pavilion, the Alchemist Valley, the Pharmacist Valley, the herb fields, and Qingyun Peak.

Other than that, there was also the Outer Sect Valley, the Deacon Hall, the Worship Hall, and so on.

Before Lu Yuan lived off Meng Ruyan, he had been in the Outer Sect Valley of Qingyun Sect.

According to Qingyun Sect's rules, disciples whose cultivation had not reached the Foundation Establishment Stage were all outer sect disciples of the sect.

Only after one's cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Stage could one become an official disciple of the sect.

Based on the talent of the disciples, official disciples could be divided into direct disciples and ordinary disciples.

Under the outer sect disciples were the handyman disciples, which were the lowest level of existence in the sect.

Even though Lu Yuan's spiritual root aptitude wasn't good, it was not a problem for him to be an outer sect disciple. But even so, outer sect disciples could only be regarded as supernumerary personnel of the Qingyun Sect, unable to enjoy too many of the sect's benefits.

Only when one became an official disciple would they be considered someone truly from the Qingyun Sect.

Not only could official disciples receive a certain amount of cultivation resources every month, but they could also go to the Scripture Pavilion from time to time to choose cultivation techniques and divine abilities.

Of course, choosing a cultivation method or divine ability required a certain amount of sect contribution points in exchange.

Get it for free? Knowledge is priceless!

There were many ways to earn contribution points.

The simplest method was naturally to complete the various missions assigned by the sect.

The sect missions could be roughly divided into combat missions, intelligence missions, collection missions, and logistics missions.

Even though the rewards for combat missions were rich, they were very dangerous, followed by intelligence missions and collection missions.

The logistics missions were more interesting. If one had the abilities, these missions could be said to be the safest and most rewarding.

For example, the disciples in the Pharmacist Valley where Lu Yuan was heading took on many of these logistics missions.

As long as the disciples of Pharmacist Valley made qualified pills regularly, not only would they not need to go out and risk their lives, but they could even gain a large number of contribution points and sect resources.

This was the special treatment that Qingyun Sect gave to skilled pharmacists.

The original owner of Lu Yuan's current body wanted to become such a talent.

This was because as long as one became a pharmacist, even if one's cultivation did not reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, one could also stay in the Qingyun Sect and have a status that was equal to that of an official disciple.

Therefore, it was always said that as long as one mastered a skill, one would be able to survive well in any world.

...

Lu Yuan came to the entrance of the hall of Qingyun Sect's Pharmacist Valley and looked at the Qingyun disciples that were bustling with activity. He was shocked.

Inside the hall, all the pill furnaces were at full power, raising the temperature in the hall to a shocking degree.

Just by standing at the entrance of the main hall, one could feel the waves of hot air that were blowing in their faces.

The scene of hundreds of burning pill furnaces at the same time was really cool!

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Just as Lu Yuan was shocked by the grand scene before him, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw a man wearing the Pharmacist Valley's exclusive uniform walking up to him.

"Senior brother, I'm an outer sect disciple who was just assigned to the Pharmacist Valley. This is my identity card."

Lu Yuan took out the waist token from his storage bag and passed it to the senior brother.

The other party's expression eased a little after seeing the waist token.

"Alright, then come with me."

"Yes."

Under the other party's lead, Lu Yuan soon arrived at the lobby of the Pill Hall, which was where the hundreds of furnaces were.

As they walked, the senior brother from the Pharmacist Valley said, "To be able to obtain a waist token, your fire and wood spiritual roots should have quite good aptitudes..."

Indeed, he was a well-balanced person. He knew a little of everything.

"However, I'll tell you bluntly that in the path of pill refinement, although the innate spiritual root is crucial, it doesn't mean that one can become a pharmacist just because one's innate spiritual root aptitude is good. Hard work and talent in pill refinement are equally important..."

The senior brother stopped in front of an empty pill furnace.

"Alright, this will be the place where you will refine pills in the future. As someone who has just arrived at the Pharmacist Valley, you can only be considered an apprentice now. When you are able to refine Foundation Establishment Stage pills on your own, then you will be considered an official disciple here."

"Before that, your daily task is to make some elementary Qi Cultivation Stage pills. Don't think it's easy. If you can't make a qualified Qi Cultivation Stage pill within the time limit, then you'll have to leave the Pharmacist Valley after a year and go back to where you came from. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

The senior brother from the Pharmacist Valley nodded and continued, "That's all with the rules. Now, I'm going to tell you what you're going to do in the future."

"From today onwards, the valley of pills will give you ten portions of the ingredients for the elementary cultivation pill every day. If you can produce a certain amount of elementary cultivation pills within a year, you can become an outer disciple of the Pharmacist Valley."

"Later on, when you can make Foundation Establishment Stage pills on your own, you can become an official disciple of the Pharmacist Valley. With that, you'll enjoy the same benefits as the official disciples of other peaks, as well as the various benefits of the sect."

"Alright, that's about all I have to say. The pill recipe is right beside the pill furnace. You can take a look at it later. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask the senior brother next to you. This will help you master the secrets of pill refinement faster."

After saying this, the other party left.

After the senior brother left, Lu Yuan walked to the pill furnace that was assigned to him and picked up the pill recipe that was placed there.

[Pill Recipe: Elementary cultivation pill]

[Level: Qi Cultivation Stage]

[Effect: Fortifies the foundation. Able to increase the user's spiritual energy absorption speed for a certain period.]

The refining method for the elementary cultivation pill was not complicated. It was obviously a pill recipe for beginners.

To make the elementary cultivation pill, two conditions had to be met.

First, one's fire and wood spiritual root aptitude must reach at least 30 points each. Second, one had to master both Item Manipulation and Fire Manipulation.

It was obvious that the body's original owner had learned about this in advance, so he had specially learned Item Manipulation and Fire Manipulation.

Although he had already met the conditions to refine the pill, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry to start.

Instead, he walked and stood behind a senior brother who was refining the elementary cultivation pill and began to observe seriously.

The other party was currently concentrating on refining the elementary cultivation pill and did not notice Lu Yuan's arrival.

Lu Yuan watched very seriously, concentrating on memorizing the entire refining process and the things to take note of.

Boom!

Following the sound of an explosion, the senior brother's pill refinement failed due to his failure in controlling the fire which caused his pill furnace to explode.

While the other party was feeling vexed, Lu Yuan left quietly. This was to prevent the other party from attributing his failure to his interference.

There was no doubt that those who loved to find scapegoats in this world were more than one could imagine.

Following that, Lu Yuan began to stand quietly behind various senior brothers, concentrating and studying from them.

After two hours...

[Ding! You have observed the process of making the elementary cultivation pill and obtained a new skill, the Elementary Pill Refinement Technique.]

[Elementary Pill Refinement Technique (level 1): 0/100]

Finally, a new skill!

Looking at the Elementary Pill Refinement Technique on the interface, Lu Yuan was in a good mood.

His entire morning of observing the pill-refining process had not been in vain!

With this new skill, Lu Yuan was ready to start his pill refinement.

As long as he could master the pill refinement technique, he could become an official disciple of the Pharmacist Valley.

Then, not only would he have a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in a short time, but he might even be able to get rid of that demoness Meng Ruyan.

At the thought of this, Lu Yuan returned to his furnace and prepared to refine pills.
