Jiuyi Mountain

Beneath the roaring waterfall, its cascading waters glinted in the blazing sun and cast a rainbow across the sky, shimmering in seven colors.

Beside the rainbow stood a small cliff. A formation slowly turned there, making the place appear empty to anyone looking from outside.

Within the formation, on the open ground before the thatched cottage, flames flickered inside the Turtle-Crane Auspicious Sign, Peace for Ten Thousand Years Furnace, while the Pill Liquid inside hissed as it blended.

Pei Ling stood expressionlessly before the furnace, continually grabbing medicinal ingredients, swiftly processing each one, then tossing it inside.

Under the system's control, he moved with astonishing speed and casual ease. The Pill Liquid inside the furnace fused and refined with remarkable smoothness, without a single hitch.

At that moment, Pei Ling was rapidly calculating how many pills remained in his task, and what kinds they were.

After returning from Mang Mountain's market that day, he had immediately started refining pills under the system's control. After three days and three nights of toil, he had completed a small portion of the task.

At this rate, he estimated he would finish all the pill-refining tasks in about ten more days.

Exchanging half a month of his time for a top-grade Spirit Transformation material was an excellent deal.

He mused to himself, If I had a sixth-grade pill flame and a Sixth-grade alchemical furnace, I'd definitely be able to refine pills even faster.

But although I inherited Kang Shaoyin's experience and insights in forging, designing blueprints for an alchemical furnace is difficult. A ninth-grade or eighth-grade furnace would be manageable, but a sixth-grade one is probably beyond me.

As for a sixth-grade pill flame, Lesser Freedom Heaven has one...

*But wasting an opportunity to enter Lesser Freedom Heaven just to save a few days
