"Ha ha!" Lu Chen laughed inside his heart.
"Go back and tell Yanran, I don't need it." Lu Chen did not take the pouch that Xiao Cui handed over.
He ksn't a coward, let alone someone without character! Not to mention that he has already set foot on the path of Cultivation now. Even though he was just an ordinary person before, Lu Chen didn't need anyone to show him mercy.
"You…" Xiao Cui rolled his eyes.
Initially, Xiao Cui thought that Lu Chen would take the pouch gratefully. The woman even wanted to see Lu Chen's pitiful state as she couldn't wait to check the amount of gold coins in the pouch. However, he never thought that Lu Chen would directly refuse without even glancing at the pouch.
"There are a hundred gold coins here!" Xiao Cui said in a more serious tone and shook the pouch in his hand angrily. Along with it,
The sound of jingle gold coins can be heard
In Xiao Cui's opinion, a hundred gold coins might not mean anything to Yanran, but it would mean a lot to Lu Chen.
"I said no, and I still have work to do. You can go now." Lu Chen waved his hand and walked towards his room.
Seeing Lu Chen's back, Xiao Cui was silent for a moment.
She is Yanran's maid, so she didn't interact much with Lu Chen. However, he often heard about Lu Chen. Even though she was a servant, and Lu Chen is a direct descendant of the Lu family, after all, she didn't respect Lu Chen very much. Thats because Lu Chen was just an ordinary person, and Xiao Cui is also a cultivator like him, even though this woman only had the initial practice of bone refining.
Cultivators should be superior to ordinary people.
"Hmph, pretending to be aloof can save Yanran a lot of money," Seeing Lu Chen close the door, Xiao Cui muttered, turned around, and left the pavilion in a hurry.
In a beautiful pavilion.
"Did he accept it?" Yanran, who was wearing a long sky blue dress with a delicate appearance, asked lightly when she saw Xiao Cui coming back.
Even though she asked, she is almost certain that Lu Chen must have received the gold coins.
Yanran knew that Lu Chen had always wanted to be promoted to become an intermediate Alchemist, which required a large consumption of herbal medicines and a lot of money. According to Yanran, Lu Chen is being unrealistic and fantasized about being appointed as an intermediate Alchemist.
Yanran's feelings for Lu Chen were very complicated. Of course, she wouldn't forget the intimacy with Lu Chen in her childhood. Nevertheless, as she grew older, this girl spent most of her time training, but Lu Chen couldn't. Thus, there are fewer common topics between them. However, he hoped that Lu Chen would develop well. If it was promising for Lu Chen to be promoted to intermediate pharmacist, Yanran would definitely support him. However, that is an unrealistic fantasy. She felt that Lu Chen should give up and return to reality at least to live a better life. With the foundation of a junior Alchemist, he could live very well refining some low grade pills.
Yanran was intending to greet Lu Chen when she saw the young man in front of the Treasure Pavilion yesterday. However, Yanran did not come to greet him for some reason. She also knew that Lu Chen had seen her.
"Yanran, he refused this gold coin." Xiao Cui said angrily.
"what?" Yanran glance at Xiao Cui with wonder.
"I think he's just pretending to be aloof. Yanran, why do you care about him? After coming-of-age ceremony, he will leave the Lu family and you may never see him again," Xiao Cui said reluctantly as she returned the pouch to Yanran.
"What a pity!" Yanran sighed softly and didn't say anything.
Inside the room, Lu Chen prepared a jade container for pill refining.
After that, he checked the power inside again, and the inner strength of the five attributes circulated normally.
"What happened? When I was in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, my wood attribute power could be converted into metal attribute," Lu Chen whispered.
"Of course!"
A voice sounded beside Lu Chen.
Lu Chen knew it was the voice of Lu Jie's ancestor as soon as he heard it.
"Not only can the wood attribute be changed to metal attribute, but also the strength in other attributes can also be changed. Do you think a physique with all attributes is a joke?"
"A physique with all attributes is the strongest physique on this continent. No form can match this kind of form," Lu Jie said slowly.
"Can I change my profound strength to a different attribute at will?" Lu Chen looked at Lu Jie's ancestor with a look of amazement.
"Yes." Lu Jie nodded his head.
"Then if I change my profound strength from all attributes to one attribute, will I become invincible?" asked Lu Chen and didn't dare to think about it.
"Sure, otherwise how can a physique with all attributes be known as the strongest physique in the world?" said Lu Jie as he rolled his eyes angrily.
"Lu Jie, what about other cultivators? For example, cultivators with two attributes such as metal and wood. Can they also change those attributes?" asked Lu Chen quickly.
"Of course not. Except for cultivators with all attributes, other people cannot change the inner attribute even if they have two or three attributes," said Lu Jie while shaking his head,
"a physique with all attributes is a very special existence. These kinds of people are like a circle whose nature is hidden and cannot be observed from the outside at all, and they can naturally achieve balance."
"However, if there is no Qiankun Cultivation Method, it won't work. Even a cultivator of all attributes must possess the Qiankun mentality to freely change the attributes of their inner strength," Lu Jie said as he narrowed his eyes.
"I will try it!" Lu Chen immediately sat down and began to try to control the changes in the attributes of his inner strength.
In the beginning, Lu Chen's control and internal energy changes were still very patchy, and would occasionally fail. But after constant effort, he gradually became more and more proficient. From the fusion of the two attributes to three, four, and finally, to the fusion of the five attributes, he could transform his profound strength into one attribute among his five.
Meaning, he could manifest any of the five attributes.
"Huf!"
The cultivation process passed by. When he opened his eyes with a sigh of relief, it was already evening the next day.
Lu Chen could feel its power and thought,
"What a powerful feeling!"
"Because I have turned all the attributes of my profound energy into one, I feel that by cultivating in the middle stage of the Bone Refining Realm, I can compete with cultivators in the late stages."
"Well, let's not waste time. Start refining the pill." Lu Chen stood up and start refining the pill.
An hour later, the first bottle of bone refining pill ran out.
Lu Chen carefully put down the first bottle of medicine and thought, "Well, with the help of internal energy, my refinement efficiency is high! In the past, it took me at least half a day to refine a bottle of Bone Refining pill, but now it is successfully refined within one hour." On top of that, it seems the pill is also working better than before."
"Hmph, boy, can what you refine be considered as bone refining pill?"
"You have wasted that good raw material." Just as Lu Chen was about to continue refining, that familiar voice sounded again.
Lu Chen frowned and said, "What, a waste? I managed to refine the pill!"
Lu Chen looked at Lu Jie's ancestor and pointed at his porcelain bottle. When he was still an ordinary person, he rarely failed to refine medicine, especially now that he had stepped into the realm of martial arts. However, Lu Jie's ancestors said that he wasted the materials.
"Little brat, can that thing you refine be called bone refining pill? It seems that you haven't seen what the real bone refining looks like!" Lu Jie widened his eyes and ignored the Bone Refining pill in the porcelain bottle.
Lu Jie criticized ruthlessly, "I think that thing you made can't be absorbed properly by cultivators, it's at most 20% of the pills effect, right?"
Lu Chen said, "Bone Refining pill are all like this and it is just an ordinary pill. I know that there are excellent Bone Refining pill, but it takes luck to make it even for a senior Alchemist."
In the world, all kinds of pill or medicine are generally divided into three levels.
The first class is ordinary, the second class is excellent and the third class is perfect.
Cultivators could take in about 20% of ordinary medicinal effects, 40% of excellent, and 60% of perfect. However, the perfect drug is almost impossible to find on the market. In the entire Wind City, a perfect Bone Refining pill, even of the lowest grade, its hard to find.
At this time, Lu Chen didn't imagine that he could refine such a Solid Bone Refining Pill. When he became a senior Alchemist in the future, he would be able to pursue an excellent Bone Refining pill. As for the perfect medicine, it could be considered a legend.
Steady and incomparably precious Bone Refining Medicine! Cultivators could take in 40% of the efficacy of a Solid Bone Refining Pill. In comparison, ordinary medicine was only 20% effective, which meant that two bottles of ordinary pill could be worth one Solid bottle of pill.
In fact, each cultivator could absorb a limited amount of medicine within a certain amount of time. In addition, solidified medicines had fewer impurities, so cultivators could increase their strength more quickly after using them. Generally speaking, a bottle of Solid Bone Refining Pill is worth at least five times that of ordinary medicine.
Ancestor Lu Jie waved his hand and said harshly to Lu Chen, "Little brat, admit your incompetence. Why are you trying to shift the blame?"
"Learn from me, I will tell you what true pill refining is!"
Lu Jie pointed to the ingredients and said, "Follow the steps I told you, step by step! First, squeeze the essence of the green snake grass."
Half an hour later.
"How could it be?"
When Lu Chen was refining the second bottle pills, he was completely stunned.
He exclaimed, "I'm just a junior Alchemist!"
"How come, how come I made Excellent grade pill?" Lu Chen repeatedly examined the Bone Refining Pill in surprise.
"Hmph, your talent isn't bad. Since you were able to refine an excellent medicine for the first time according to my method, you are barely qualified. Okay, you can continue! If you can't refine a perfect medicine after refining the remaining ingredients, then you are stupid." Ancestor Lu Jie glanced at Lu Chen, then disappeared again, leaving behind a flash of light.
