"Right now... I still need the teacher's help to successfully refine a first-grade pill."
Xiao Changge felt that although the pill had been close to taking shape at that time, the fact remained that it was only with Electrolux's help that he had succeeded in refining a first-grade pill.
He was still a novice after all; when it came to alchemy, he was nothing more than a greenhorn who needed the help of others to refine a single first-grade pill.
Although Electrolux's assistance, or rather the light-element magic of the Holy Demon Continent, was not particularly helpful for alchemy, it was still of some use.
Therefore, he still felt that he was a novice and needed to work even harder.
"That being said, are there any other medicines in that Pharmacopoeia?"
Electrolux asked curiously.
He was very curious about what other powerful pills were in that Pharmacopoeia.
Electrolux: (✪▽✪)
"There are plenty." Xiao Changge answered confidently at this moment; after all, this was a precious manual.
Being able to guide many ordinary alchemists from beginners to grandmasters already made it an excellent alchemy treasure.
Although one could at most rely on this Pharmacopoeia to slowly cultivate into an eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster and could not become a ninth-grade alchemy master, reaching the eighth grade was already very impressive. In the Douluo Universe, even those with the strength of a God King might not necessarily reach the level of a Dou Zun.
A God King in the Douluo Universe was likely only at the level of a Dou Zong.
Just think about how powerful an eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster was; the pill lightning summoned by the pills they refined might be even more fierce than the moves of a God of Destruction.
The soul attacks of an eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster could even affect a Dou Zun.
This had already been shown in the Battle Through the Heavens manga. In the manga, Xiao Yan became an eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster, and the soul attack he unleashed with a single punch even forced back Xiong Zhan, a powerful Dou Zun.
One had to know who Xiong Zhan was—he was a ruthless character who possessed a trace of the Ancient Void Dragon bloodline.
Xiong Zhan's true form was an Ancient Dragon Bear (also known as the Nine-Pattern Demon Dragon Bear), a race that was a vassal to the Ancient Void Dragon clan. He usually appeared in human form as a sturdy man in blue robes with short black hair, wearing a crown-like hair accessory, and possessing sharp, handsome features.
In combat, he would transform into a giant beast the size of a mountain, covered in hard scales and bronze armor, like a mobile combat fortress, exuding immense pressure.
Xiong Zhan's cultivation was at the one-star Dou Zun level, but thanks to the powerful beast physique of the Ancient Dragon Bear, his actual combat strength was extremely high, comparable to a three-star or even four-star Dou Zun.
The eight silver hairs on his chest were symbols of his bloodline. If he could cultivate a ninth silver hair, he would completely awaken his bloodline and transform into a "Supreme Dragon Bear" with strength comparable to a Dou Sheng.
Although he was not particularly powerful in the middle and late stages of the novel—that is, the single-tower timeline—the point was that when he was a Dou Zun, he saved Xiao Yan, who was being hunted by Old Man Mu Gu of the Soul Hall, and provided him with shelter.
From this combat strength alone, one could see that Xiong Zhan's power was definitely very strong, yet he was still forced back by the soul attack of the eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster Xiao Yan.
One had to realize that Xiao Yan at that time had only just entered the rank of an eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster, and his mastery of soul power was not yet very formidable. But even so, it showed that an eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster was more than enough for the Douluo Continent. It was estimated that apart from the Creation God, who might have the qualifications to trade blows, everyone else... if they encountered one, they would likely be finished.
Therefore, this Pharmacopoeia was truly too important.
The fact that it taught everything from the basics to becoming an eighth-grade alchemy grandmaster showed just how precious this book was.
For ordinary alchemists, such as those in remote areas or those without the support of major factions, they could all rely on this Pharmacopoeia to become eighth-grade alchemy grandmasters.
So, choosing this Pharmacopoeia at the time had been the right decision.
"Does it also record many simple medicines? If pills are particularly difficult to refine, can simple medicines be made?
For example, what about medicinal powders, medicinal soups, and some other things? Can these be refined?
I have an idea. If you take these things out to sell, I think you could make a huge profit, and you would soon have I don't know how many Golden Soul Coins.
Then you could also afford many cultivation resources. Working in a restaurant is just too slow in terms of results, and the money comes in too slowly.
Although you've earned quite a bit of money at this restaurant, the problem is that it's still not enough. Cultivation resources are too important for a Spirit Master.
You cannot rely solely on this restaurant to obtain wealth. You must also open up new channels, such as making money by selling medicinal powders and pills. That way, you can earn much more.
In this way, your cultivation resources will also be much more abundant, and you will be able to go and take revenge on Ma Xiaotao sooner, to go find those people from Shrek and make them pay their blood debts."
Electrolux said this to help Xiao Changge, because although working at this restaurant did earn a decent amount of money—enough to help cover daily expenses and buy many things, such as medicinal herbs—it was still not enough for a top-tier genius like Xiao Changge.
Xiao Changge's talent destined him to become a Titled Douluo, or even a god-like existence. Relying solely on the income from a restaurant was not enough to sustain his resource consumption, so no matter what, he had to open up new channels to earn more money.
"That is true. After all, it's not like I can't take on a side job. As long as I can earn enough money, it's feasible. If I had known, I should have let that uncle take me to a more distant place, like the Sun Moon Empire, to awaken my spirit.
If I had awakened a powerful level-30 talent and a top-tier divine beast spirit in the Sun Moon Empire, the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire would have surely regarded me as their future hope, and I would have had the opportunity to enter the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship.
Unfortunately, there's no way now. The Douluo Three Kingdoms are truly unreasonable!
Now I can only see if I can refine some good medicinal materials and then... sell them for money. However, since the restaurant owner can run a restaurant, he should have quite a few channels. Asking the restaurant owner to help sell the medicine should be possible."
"Being able to run a restaurant in the Douluo Three Kingdoms and keep it going shows that he has some channels and connections. Asking him to help you sell medicine should be fine.
Then, for the money from selling the medicine, let's do a 6-4 split. After all, he has helped you so much, so giving them forty percent is quite enough.
You are the one refining the medicine, so sixty percent of the profit is what you deserve. That is fair."
