The Yellow Dragon Pill Recipe!

"Yes, senior brother."

Everyone withdrew.

As they were leaving, Zhang Qi and Qin Hai exchanged a glance.

Qin Hai looked at Lu Qingfeng, "Senior Brother Lu, what is this—"

"It's nothing."

"There are many items in and out of the various alchemy rooms, as well as many items that are consumed. Let them go down and sort them out so I can study how to revitalize Flying Cloud Island. It's really embarrassing to talk about failing the assessment every year."

Lu Qingfeng said helplessly.

"Ha ha."

"Senior Brother Lu is joking. With your alchemy skills, even if you fail the annual assessments on Flying Cloud Island, who in the entire Mystic Origin Sect would dare to utter a single word of complaint!"

Qin Hai said with a smile.

Lu Qingfeng pursed his lips, remaining noncommittal. Seeing this, Qin Hai suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Lu Qingfeng, "Look at my brain, I forgot to bring two ledgers. Senior Brother Lu, please wait a moment, I'll go get them right away."

With that, he turned and walked towards the Flying Cloud Hall.

Lu Qingfeng didn't stop him.

In a short time.

Only Lu Qingfeng and Zhao Yunxing remained in the hall.

"Does Deacon Zhao have anything to say to me?" Lu Qingfeng asked Zhao Yunxing.

Zhao Yunxing looked up and saw Lu Qingfeng casually scribbling on a pile of ledgers—

"Have!"

"As soon as the island lord returned, he actually expelled Deacon Qin Hai, Uncle-Master Zhang Qi, Uncle-Master Liu Qing, and Uncle-Master Zhou Qing from Flying Cloud Island!"

"Hmph! Qin Hai, in collusion with Zhang Qi, Liu Qing, and Zhou Qing, embezzled our share of medicinal herbs and lined their own pockets. They even lied to their superiors, claiming that we were not skilled in alchemy, causing Flying Cloud Island to fail the assessment once in the past three years. How can the Island Lord tolerate them!"

"This is outrageous! No wonder the island lord is furious."

"Yes. Qin Hai and the others thought that the island lord was only focused on alchemy and didn't understand mundane affairs and accounts, so they tried to fool him. It's ridiculous."

"That's good. They've been expelled from Flying Cloud Island and handed over to the palace. Since the Sect Master values the Island Lord so much, he certainly won't let them off easily!"

Flying Cloud Island.

As the disciples watched Qin Hai and his companions being led away by the people from the hall, they began to discuss among themselves, their words filled with resentment.

He thought it was because his alchemy skills were not good enough that he failed the test, causing the share of Flying Cloud Island to decrease and eventually leaving him with no pills to refine.

Little did they know that it was Qin Hai and his gang who were behind it all.

My previously damaged confidence has returned quite a bit.

Flying Cloud Hall.

Deacon Zhao Yunxing, Second-Order Alchemist Liu Feng, First-Order Alchemist Fang Changzai Xie Yingyuan, Ye Mu stood in front of Lu Qingfeng.

His expression was somewhat strange, but also somewhat relieved.

This island lord is truly no pushover; no wonder he commands the respect of the sect leader and even caused the True Disciple of Jade Pillar Peak to suffer defeat at his hands.

Seeing that everyone was a little reserved, Lu Qingfeng didn't mind. He took out four Jade Slip from his pocket and placed them in the hands of Liu Feng and the other three.

"This is--"

"The Yellow Dragon Pill Formula?"

All four were advanced-level Alchemist, and they could memorize the formula for a low-level Pill Formula like the Yellow Dragon Pill at a glance.

Liu Feng, holding the Jade Slip, looked at Lu Qingfeng with a puzzled expression and said, "This Yellow Dragon Pill has similar effects to the Life-Breath Pill and Embryonic Breath Pellet in my Pill Convergence Hall. They are all low-grade pills that can help Embryonic Breath Realm cultivators improve their cultivation. I wonder what Senior Brother means—"

Liu Feng was puzzled.

There are not many types of low-grade pills.

In terms of improving cultivation, the Life-Breath Pill and Embryonic Breath Pellet are more than enough. The medicinal materials for refining these two pills are also very common, as they are cultivated in many low-level medicinal mountains and gardens within the sect, so there is no need to seek them from outside.

Adding another low-grade elixir would be superfluous and only add to the burden of Pill-Refining Apprentice on Flying Cloud Island.

Xie Yingyuan, Ye Mu, and Fang Changzai also looked at Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng pointed to the Jade Slip, "Take another look."

Liu Feng was taken aback, then held the Jade Slip and looked at it again. This time, his expression changed.

"This is a mid-grade pill?!"

Liu Feng looked up and stared directly at Lu Qingfeng. At first, when he saw the medicinal materials for refining the Yellow Dragon Pill, they were all the same materials commonly used to refine the Embryonic Breath Pellet and the Life-Breath Pill, two low-level pills. Liu Feng assumed that they were also low-level pills.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that although this Pill Formula uses only low-grade medicinal materials, the refining techniques and the proportions of the ingredients are quite exquisite. The resulting Yellow Dragon Pill is even as effective as a mid-grade pill!

"Good."

Lu Qingfeng said loudly, "You should first master the Yellow Dragon Pill, and then, from the two hundred Pill-Refining Apprentice on Flying Cloud Island, each of you should select thirty more apprentices in addition to the original twenty, and teach them the method of refining the Yellow Dragon Pill."

"For the next year, we will focus on Yellow Dragon Pill."

Liu Feng. Upon hearing this, Xie Yingyuan and the others exchanged glances, their eyes all revealing a look of surprise and delight.

Using low-grade medicinal materials, refine intermediate-grade elixirs.

Even if only one out of twenty batches of pills is successful, it's enough to break even!

[Essence: Yellow Dragon Pill]

Grade: Intermediate

[Evolving Method: Five Enhancements]

[Note: Later-Heaven Embryonic Breath Realm cultivation elixirs can strengthen Internal Breath.]

"The difficulty of refining low-grade pills is not high, so the profit margin is compressed. The cost of refining one Yellow Dragon Pill is about twenty-five portions of low-grade medicinal materials. One Yellow Dragon Pill is worth fifty portions of low-grade medicinal materials. If the success rate is 100%, the profit margin is double. But even Master Alchemy Apprentice can only achieve a maximum success rate of 95% in refining low-grade pills. Low-Level Alchemy Apprentice who are proficient can achieve a success rate of about 80%."

"There is also a 60% profit margin."

"The Yellow Dragon Pill, after being strengthened five times, is comparable to a mid-grade pill and is ten times more valuable than a low-grade pill."

"The medicinal materials used to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill remain unchanged."

"Profit margin increased tenfold!"

Lu Qingfeng bestowed the formula for the Yellow Dragon Pill Formula and announced the closure of Flying Cloud Island. No one on Flying Cloud Island, whether Alchemist, Pill-Refining Apprentice, steward, or secular disciple, was allowed to leave the island.

This is to prevent the Yellow Dragon Pill Formula from being leaked.

It won't take too long.

Lu Qingfeng took five years to master the Yellow Dragon Pill Formula. However, in reality, he was on the run, so five years in the game was actually less than three years at most.

After three years of extensive practice, he mastered the refining of the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Although the Pill-Refining Apprentice on Flying Cloud Island are generally of poor aptitude and low skill level, which of them who have been able to enter the Mystic Origin Sect and become Pill-Refining Apprentice in the Pill Convergence Hall is truly a waste?

To say that they are inferior is only in comparison to other Alchemist in the Pill Convergence Hall who have better aptitude.

Compared to Lu Qingfeng, each of them possessed talent many times greater.

With extensive practice, at most six months to a year, all these Pill-Refining Apprentice will be able to master the refining of the Yellow Dragon Pill. Then, the profits from the Yellow Dragon Pill will be used to purchase medicinal materials for refining other pills.

This can create a virtuous cycle.

Lu Qingfeng could also take the opportunity to 'improve' a few more Pill Formula.

Flying Cloud Island will surely be rolling in money every day.

Apart from a portion handed over to the palace, all of these are Lu Qingfeng's private property, and can also serve as another source of income for Lu Qingfeng besides Refined Crystal and Pure Essence.

More importantly, this allowed him to demonstrate his loyalty, showcase his talent, win over the hearts of the people, and train and cultivate a large number of mid-level Alchemist.

This achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

Perhaps one or two alchemy geniuses will be discovered among them.

In this way.

This gives Lu Qingfeng another advantage in his competition for the position of Hall Master of the Pill Convergence Hall!

"The improved Yellow Dragon Pill can also serve as a stepping stone for me to connect with Hall of Rare Treasures."

Lu Qingfeng spent half a month setting up formations and restrictions on Flying Cloud Island.

With his current mastery of formations, even though the formation was hastily set up, it could at least prevent Foundation Establishment cultivators from entering and leaving at will. If Spirit Void Cultivator were to arrive, the formation would provide early warning, whether they were entering or leaving.

Lu Qingfeng is True Disciple of the Pill Convergence Hall. Three years ago, he fought a great battle with Zhou Su, making him famous Mystic Origin Sect.

Such a gifted True Disciple is someone no one would dare offend or trespass on the island at will.

It is safe and sound.

We will reinforce the formation of Flying Cloud Island in the future. Once everything on Flying Cloud Island is on track, the Pill Convergence Hall and even the Mystic Origin Sect will protect and safeguard it.

Then there's no need to be so vigilant.

After setting up the formation, Lu Qingfeng left Flying Cloud Island and arrived at Gathering Immortals Market.

Gathering Immortals Market.

Several people took their seats in the private room of the Feather Immortal Pavilion.

Lu Qingfeng and Yan Pingshu were prominently featured, along with an older man and a younger man.

The old man had a kind face, but his eyes were rather cloudy, only occasionally flashing with a few glints of wisdom. The boy looked young, but in reality, he had already reached the Spirit Void Divine Silence cultivation level, which was one level higher than Zhou Su's.

He was on par with Yan Pingshu Xiang Chao Chaoxiu.

"Junior Brother Lu has only been in the sect for a short time, so let me introduce you."

Yan Pingshu sat down next to Lu Qingfeng and pointed to the old man, introducing him first, "This is Elder Feng Ping of Hall of Rare Treasures. Elder Feng has been in Hall of Rare Treasures for hundreds of years and has a very deep seniority. At present, all twenty-three markets in the west of the Profound Origin Water Realm are under Elder Feng's management."

"Lu Qingfeng greets Elder Feng."

Lu Qingfeng quickly greeted him.

This is truly an elder with real power.

Outside the Profound Origin Water Realm, the Mystic Origin Sect has established numerous markets. In addition to the Mystic Origin Sect's own shops, each market also houses other Rogue Cultivator and sects from the surrounding area.

Feng Ping governs twenty-three markets, indirectly controlling the livelihoods of countless sects and Rogue Cultivators.

For a small sect like the Sunset Glow Sect, their power was immense.

Despite wielding great power, Feng Ping was quite approachable. He looked at Lu Qingfeng and smiled, "I've long heard that the Pill Convergence Hall has a new True Disciple talented one. Meeting him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."

"I dare not accept such praise."

Lu Qingfeng said modestly.

Seeing that the two were about to exchange pleasantries, the young man beside him couldn't stand it any longer and said loudly, "Uncle is the most long-winded, Junior Brother Lu mustn't learn it from him."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ping stroked his beard, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"And this is—"

Lu Qingfeng looked at the boy, then at Yan Pingshu.

Upon seeing Yan Pingshu introduced, "This is Elder Feng Ping's grand-nephew, the direct disciple of the Hall of Rare Treasures Master, Feng Bai, the True Disciple of the Hall of Rare Treasures. He is a long-time friend of mine."

"So it's Senior Brother Feng."

Lu Qingfeng greeted him with clasped hands.

Although Feng Bai looks young, his cultivation has already reached the Spirit Void Stage, and he is actually much older than Lu Qingfeng in reality. It is not an exaggeration to call him "Senior Brother".

In the world of cultivation, one's status is not determined by appearance, nor even by age or seniority.

Lu Qingfeng had been playing the game for two thousand years and was already used to it.

Lu Qingfeng never expected that Feng Ping and Feng Bai would have such a relationship.

Feng Bai looked at Lu Qingfeng and waved his hand, saying, "I heard that Junior Brother Lu is not very old, but is a genius who Dual Mastery of Alchemy and Artifice and weapon crafting and has outstanding array formation skills. I thought he would be full of vigor and spirit, but I didn't expect him to resemble my great-uncle, just as old-fashioned."
