The Alchemy Fraud

Seven days later.

Mid-March.

One of the entrances to Heavenly Star City.

Su Bai took out the Token and was able to quickly enter the city through the Foundation Establishment Cultivator passage.

Not long after.

Su Bai then appeared outside the small courtyard he had rented for cultivation.

Four months later, the Warning Array in Su Bai's own cultivation courtyard showed no signs of being triggered.

This inexpensive cultivation courtyard remained uninhabited for ten months without being visited by thieves.

It seems that the female cultivator Zhang Ying has taken good care of me.

Su Bai looked at the small cultivation courtyard on the side.

Zhang Ying was not absent from the small courtyard next door where she practiced cultivation.

Su Bai extended his Divine Sense sense slightly and easily passed through the Warning Array in the neighboring courtyard.

There were no signs of the three female cultivators in the courtyard; it was noon, so they were probably all out working.

Su Bai activated the Magic Array and returned to his cultivation courtyard to tidy up.

"I have mastered the Golden Marrow Pill; now I can refine Golden Marrow Pill to earn Spirit Stone."

"Then save the Spirit Stone earned from refining the Golden Marrow Pill to learn how to refine other first-tier Spirit Pills."

"Once you've mastered dozens of first-tier Spirit Pills, your alchemy skills will naturally improve to a certain level."

"Then we can begin our attempt to obtain Second-tier Spirit Pill."

It wasn't that Su Bai was unwilling to continue refining Second-tier Spirit Pill using the old methods.

Instead, it's Second-tier Spirit Pill, such as the Spirit Medicine Ingredients the Cloud Mist Pill, which can cost as much as four thousand Spirit Stone per serving.

Moreover, the refining of Second-tier Spirit Pill is extremely difficult. If one were to rely on the old method of using Talent to gain experience points to master Second-tier Spirit Pill, the losses would be incalculable.

Using the old methods, at most one could master the Golden Marrow Pill Elixir.

Next, Su Bai will use the Spirit Stone he earns from refining Golden Marrow Pill to replenish his basic alchemy experience.

Over several years, Su Bai was able to improve his alchemy skills.

There is a sufficiently high chance of successfully refining Second-tier Spirit Pill.

This is also the path of most ordinary Alchemist.

After refining countless batches and more than a dozen types of Tier One Lower-grade Spirit Pill, he finally began to attempt to refine Second-tier Mid-grade Spirit Pills.

Having learned a dozen or even dozens of types of Second-tier Mid-grade Spirit Pills, and possessing sufficient alchemy skills, he only began to attempt to refine Second Tier Upper Grade Spirit Pills after gaining a clear understanding of the process.

The Pill Formula the Golden Marrow Pill, which Su Bai forcibly mastered before, is indeed unique to this family.

"The Spirit Medicine Ingredients for the Golden Marrow Pill cost three hundred Spirit Stone per serving."

"If the quality improves in the future, it will fetch at least five hundred Spirit Stone upon sale."

"Spending six hours a day refining two portions will yield an income of four hundred Spirit Stone."

"After a month, I've earned 12,000 Spirit Stone. That's a considerable income. Converted into Contribution Points, it's enough to buy a Lower Grade Spirit Artifact in the sect, or at least half a Lower Grade Spirit Artifact in the Market."

"I can even temporarily ignore the high-risk Assassin missions and continue to survive in Heavenly Star City by relying on my alchemy skills."

"It seems that Copy Alchemist Lan's Alchemy Talent was indeed the right choice. Alchemist really do make money."

Su Bai Su Bai his Storage Bag; it contained over 21,000 Spirit Stone, more than enough to sustain his cultivation for the time being.

"Next, I'll enjoy a period of comfort, accumulating Spirit Stone while simultaneously boosting my cultivation level."

"Judging from their usual behavior, the next mission from the Azure Fish Hall will likely be even more difficult. If the danger exceeds our expectations, then we'll just ignore it for now."

"If the danger is within control, then I don't mind continuing to take action to earn extra money and hone my combat skills along the way."

"Hmm, it's time to replace the Alchemy Furnace. This First-tier Mid-grade Alchemy Furnace is really of poor quality. After replacing it, the quality of the Spirit Pills will probably improve."

As Su Bai pondering, Zhang Ying's voice, brimming with uncontrollable joy, came from outside the cultivation courtyard.

"Senior, are you back?"

Su Bai pushed open the door and went outside. Sure enough, Zhang Ying was standing outside the courtyard.

Su Bai waved his hand, opened the courtyard gate, and invited him to sit down at the stone table on campus.

"I've taken good care of my little courtyard these past few months," Su Bai said.

"Of course." Zhang Ying smiled and scratched her head.

"Well, I'll start refining pills tomorrow. You can continue selling the Spirit Pills for me. You can come to my courtyard once a day to collect the Spirit Pills." Su Bai said, revealing what made Zhang Ying most happy.

"No problem, thank you for your trust!"

"I will definitely help you sell the Spirit Pills for a high price!"

Su Bai nodded slightly. Since he didn't have his own shop at the moment, hiring people to set up a stall to sell Spirit Pills was the best option.

If Zhang Ying continues to perform well, Su Bai wouldn't mind giving this female cultivator some fortuitous opportunity.

The Golden Marrow Pill is quite valuable. Even though its quality hasn't been upgraded to a high level yet, Su Bai can still refine two batches a day, which would cost nearly a thousand Spirit Stone.

Although Zhang Ying is reliable, she doesn't yet have Su Bai's deep trust, so clearing out the stock once a day is just right.

Therefore, Su Bai asked Zhang Ying to come and collect it once a day.

"This time I refined the Golden Marrow Pill. Although it's First-tier High-grade Spirit Pill, its quality hasn't reached a particularly high level."

"For now, sell at a price below market value to attract customers."

"It's not too late to raise prices later when I improve the quality."

Su Bai's current Golden Marrow Pill are only of ordinary quality. To upgrade them to ultra-high quality, he will need to refine them for at least another month or so.

Even so, the speed at which the quality of this Spirit Pills improved far exceeded that of ordinary Alchemist.

"That alchemy fraudster disappeared for months, and now he's back to torment my Yingbao?" Just then, a female cultivator's voice rang out.

In the distance, Zhang Ying's two roommates approached together, glaring angrily at Su Bai.
