After arriving at Spirit Pill Peak, Gu Sheng took the lead in arriving at the Sutra Pavilion.
Spirit Pill Peak's Sutra Pavilion is not big. Unlike War God Peak's Sutra Pavilion, there are no martial arts techniques in it, only alchemy recipes and some alchemy tips compiled by the elders themselves.
There was an old man with gray hair at the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. He was lying on a rocking chair, holding a wine gourd in one hand and a huge roasted chicken leg in the other, looking very satisfied.
Although the old man's clothes were full of oil stains and his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, Gu Sheng was not rude and bowed to him. "Outer disciple Gu Sheng has met the steward. I'm here to receive the detailed introduction to alchemy and the illustrated manual of medicinal materials."
The old man glanced at Gu Sheng and then pointed the finger holding the chicken leg into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion: "There is what is on the counter on the left when you go in. Take it yourself. If you want to receive the elixir, just use your identity token." After saying that, he stopped looking at Gu Sheng and started to enjoy his meal.
Gu Sheng said thank you and walked into the Sutra Pavilion.
The Sutra Pavilion only occupies a hundred square meters, with three bookshelves and a counter inside.
There are wooden plaques on the sides of the first two bookshelves with the three prominent characters "No Grade" engraved on them, while the last bookshelf is engraved with: "Yellow Grade".
Gu Sheng showed up and came to the counter on the left. There were two stacks of hand-stitched books on the counter. Gu Sheng also took one and then went to the bookshelf with no grade engraved on it.
There are grids on these bookshelves, which contain brocade boxes, and there is a layer of restrictions on each surface.
The name and approximate effectiveness of the elixir inside are written on the prohibition, and the difficulty of refining is also indicated by star ratings. The difficulty is divided into five levels.
Among them, the one-star elixirs with the lowest difficulty were basically used by Skin Refining stage warriors or used for simple healing and hemostasis. Among them, the elixirs used by the Blood Refining Realm basically reached three stars. Among them, he also found that the difficulty of Bone Protecting Pill was four stars and that of Bone Strengthening Pill was five stars.
Gu Sheng hadn't started yet at this time, so naturally he didn't dare to dream about these difficult methods. He chose a kind of hemostatic pill among the one-star pill prescriptions.
Gu Sheng took out his Spirit Pill Peak identity token and leaned it against the ban, and the brocade box inside was ejected.
Gu Sheng picked up the cloth in the brocade box and began to look up the prescription.
The Hemostatic Pill uses very few materials, only two kinds, and the refining technique is relatively simple. The recipe for the pill is clearly written.
Gu Sheng took the pill prescription and looked at it for a few minutes. The restriction in front of him suddenly flashed with red light, and a rapid beep sounded.
The old man outside the Sutra Pavilion walked in impatiently and kicked the side of the bookshelf, and then the ban returned to normal.
"You can't take these prescriptions away, you can only print them. If you don't put them back for more than five minutes, the alarm will be triggered. There are materials for rubbings at the counter. You can be stupid and don't disturb my enjoyment!"
Gu Sheng Hearing this, he immediately came to the counter and picked up the rubbing tool to rub the elixir. After putting the elixir back, he saluted and apologized to the old man and left the Sutra Pavilion.
Looking at Gu Sheng's back, the old man raised his lips and smiled, "I haven't met such a polite little guy in many years. It's good."
After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Gu Sheng came to the Merit Hall in Spirit Pill Peak. He found the steward inside and told the purpose of his visit.
After hearing that Gu Sheng asked Elder Wang to refine the elixir, the steward kindly reminded him, "The cost of refining elixirs is very high for the elders. You might as well find a senior from the inner sect to refine it."
Although the lowest disciple in the inner sect is an alchemist like Yellow Grade Low Rank, there is a high failure rate in refining elixirs. There is only one Bone Washing Flower, and Gu Sheng would rather spend more money to refine it with Elder Wang.
Lin Miaomiao said that he had a high success rate in refining Bone Washing Pill.
"I want to refine Bone Washing Pill. It doesn't matter if the cost is a little higher."
After hearing that Gu Sheng wanted to refine Bone Washing Pill, the manager didn't try to persuade him anymore, because when Elder Wang was in the sect, he was specifically responsible for refining Bone Washing Pill for external sale. He was very experienced and would basically never fail. He could understand Gu Sheng's thoughts.
Gu Sheng took out Bone Washing Flower and said, "I can only provide the main ingredient Bone Washing Flower. Please exchange the other auxiliary drugs directly for money."
The steward quickly drew up a list of more than ten auxiliary medicines that needed to be used, with prices marked behind each medicine.
These auxiliary medicines are all low-grade medicinal materials and are not expensive. The total price of more than ten kinds is only a little over 32,000 taels. However, the refining cost of the last one is as high as 300,000 taels, which makes Gu Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue.
"This refining cost is so expensive! How much does it cost if I ask a senior from the inner sect to refine it?"
The steward smiled and said, "Elder Wang has a very high success rate and elixir yield rate for refining Bone Washing Pill. The price is naturally expensive! These are still our internal prices. If outsiders come to ask for medicine, the cost will be 500,000 taels! If you ask an inner disciple to refine it, it will only cost 100,000 taels, but the success rate and elixir yield rate are not guaranteed."
"Hiss! No wonder everyone says that alchemists are extremely rich! That's it!"
Gu Sheng sighed and at the same time made up his mind to practice alchemy. After all, this business is so profitable!
As your cultivation level gets higher and higher, the cost of martial arts training will only increase. For example, high-grade elixirs and treasures can easily start at a million taels! If there is no way to make quick money, the gap with others will only grow wider in the future.
Fortunately, Lu Junyi borrowed 300,000 taels from Gu Sheng first, otherwise he would not be able to afford so much money now.
After receiving Bone Washing Flower and the banknote, the steward recorded the information on Gu Sheng's identity token. "Come back in two days to get the elixir."
After leaving Spirit Pill Peak, Gu Sheng returns to Fire Bamboo Forest.
When he saw that the sky was getting dark, he couldn't help but feel curious. "Hey! Yiming should have brought me food at this time on weekdays. Why haven't I seen anyone until now? Is it possible that there was some delay?"
Gu Sheng It has become a habit for Liu Yiming to bring food. I feel like something is missing even if I don't see him today. Fortunately, warriors can resist hunger much better than ordinary people. Even if they don't eat for two or three days, there will be no problem.
Gu Sheng didn't delve into it, and started practicing Shadow Concealment Art after sitting on the bed.
When dawn breaks in the sky, the light around Gu Sheng's body suddenly distorts. Soon his figure gradually disappears into the darkness. After a few breaths, he disappears completely!
Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, full of surprise, he hurriedly opened the panel to check
[Name]: Gu Sheng
[Age]: 17
[Realm]: Bone Refining Realm (Bronze Bone)
[Martial Arts]: Chop firewood (Tier 1 Rend), Archery (First-order Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (Tier 1 Mighty Strength), Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art (Tier 1 Body Strengthening), Snake Breathing Technique (First Order Snake Breathing), Flying Thunder Leg (Tier 1 Extreme Speed), Golden Body Art (30% success), Wrathblood Three Forms (44% success), Helian Weapon Forging Art (75% success), Blood Revitalizing Technique (85% success), Shadow Concealment Art (1% success)
"Finally done!"
The joy on Gu Sheng's face could no longer be hidden. He had just felt that his understanding of Mirror Force had skyrocketed. Now after opening the panel to check, he was sure that Shadow Concealment Art had achieved a breakthrough!
After Shadow Concealment Art is completed, it can achieve the effect of being invisible to the naked eye, and then combined with Snake Breathing Technique, it can achieve the effect of invisibility!
"Looks like I have to find a chance to try Chiyun Mountain Range alone!"
The 300,000 taels that Lu Junyi lent to Gu Sheng were originally used to exchange martial arts, but now they were used by Gu to refine Bone Washing Pill. Even if he only spent 60,000 taels on average, the remaining money would definitely not be enough to buy a first-class martial arts.
Gu Sheng didn't have a choice before, but now that he has a choice, Gu Sheng is of course more willing to choose a martial arts with a higher upper limit.
Although there are panels in which he can exert more power than his original martial arts, the liver requires a lot of time. Gu Sheng now not only has to practice martial arts, but also alchemy and casting. Time is tight and cannot be wasted. His current goal is to acquire a few first-class martial arts to replace the current martial arts that are gradually failing to keep up with the rhythm.
Gu Sheng did not leave immediately, but chose to continue practicing Golden Body Art. He planned to wait until Bone Washing Pill broke through to the Silver Bone Realm before entering Chiyun Mountain Range, so that he would have more ability to protect himself even if he encountered particularly extreme situations.
When Gu Sheng practiced until the afternoon, he already felt hungry. He opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "Strange, why didn't you come today? Did something happen?"
Liu Yiming usually brings him food no matter whether Gu Sheng is there or not. After not coming for two consecutive days, some doubts arose in Gu Sheng's heart, so he took the initiative to come to Liu Yiming's wooden house.
Gu Sheng knocked on the door for a long time without hearing any response, so he pushed the door open and entered.
The wooden house of the handyman disciple is not big, and the furnishings are very simple. It is just a bed and a wooden table. The inside of the house is neat and there is nothing unusual about it.
Gu Sheng saw other handyman disciples passing by outside. Gu Sheng hurriedly chased them out and asked, "Have you seen Liu Yiming?"
Since Gu Sheng beat up Shi Lezhi last time, all the handyman disciples knew about him. When the two handyman disciples saw that it was Gu Sheng, they immediately replied respectfully, "Looking back, senior brother, we haven't seen Liu Yiming all day."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a sudden thought, "He didn't go on duty today?"
The two shook their heads. "No. It's strange to say that I have never seen Liu Yiming absent from work since I started. With his cultivation level, he only needs to work for a few more months to be successfully promoted to an outer disciple. There is no reason for him to be absent from work!"
The daily tasks of the handyman disciples are fixed, and the punishment for not completing them is quite serious. Based on Gu Sheng's understanding of Liu Yiming, he will definitely not be absent from work.
Although Liu Yiming was paid to work for him, Gu Sheng still remembered the friendship of delivering food to him during this period. Judging from the current news, he always felt that Liu Yiming was in trouble.
Seeing Gu Sheng deep in thought and his expression changing, the two handyman disciples did not dare to stay longer and left quietly.
Gu Sheng currently has no clue, so he can only go to Saint Pill City to solve his stomach problem first.
After a simple meal, Gu Sheng bought a lot of dry food to prepare for the next few days of practice.
Two days later it was time to pick up Bone Washing Pill. Gu Sheng simply packed up and came to Fire Bamboo Forest first.
At this point, the handyman disciples had already started working. Gu Sheng searched around but could not find Liu Yiming. After asking, he found out that he had disappeared for three days.
Gu Sheng frowned and was about to leave when he heard a cheerful whistle. He looked up and saw that Shi Lezhi was casually inspecting the work.
Shi Lezhi didn't know that Gu Sheng had been promoted to an outer disciple, but he didn't dare to ask Gu Sheng to work, so he simply chose to ignore Gu Sheng.
Seeing Shi Lezhi approaching, the handyman disciple who was talking to Gu Sheng immediately pretended to be serious about his work.
Shi Lezhi pretended to inspect and collected the money before preparing to leave. The whole process was as if Gu Sheng did not exist.
Gu Sheng took the initiative to block in front of Shi Lezhi.
"What do you want! I'm not causing trouble for you! I'm warning you, I am also a manager of the sect after all. If you dare to beat me up for no reason, I will definitely ask the law enforcement team to arrest you! It's useless even if you know Lin Miaomiao!"
Shi Lezhi was startled by Gu Sheng and hurriedly took a few steps back to distance himself.
Gu Sheng looked solemn and frowned, saying coldly, "Liu Yiming is missing."
Shi Lezhi was a little panicked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down. He was sure that no one saw what happened that day!
Shi Lezhi sneered, "If you don't see it, it's gone. What a fuss."
"As the manager of the handyman disciples, shouldn't you look for it?"
Facing Gu Sheng's question, Shi Lezhi showed a sneer, "It's not like it has never happened that a handyman disciple can't bear the hardship and runs away. He is just a handyman disciple. Why should I find him?"
The handyman disciples are like free coolies to the sect. A few fewer people and a few more people have no impact at all.
Although Gu Sheng is not satisfied with this answer, there is nothing he can do about it. Based on his understanding of Liu Yiming, he is definitely not the kind of person who cannot endure hardship!
Liu Yiming has been working for Fire Bamboo Forest for so long, and he is about to become an official disciple. It is obviously unreasonable to run away at this time. Gu Sheng feels that there must be a hidden secret, but he has no other clues now, so he can only give Shi Lezhi a vicious look and leave.
Gu Sheng came to Spirit Pill Peak Merit Hall and handed his token to the steward on duty today. "Hello, I'm here to get the elixir."
The steward took the Gu Sheng token and checked the information recorded above, and then quickly took out a special Jade Box from the counter behind him.
"You're lucky. Elder Huang performed exceptionally well this time, producing seven pills! You've made a lot of money!" The steward's eyes were filled with envy.
Gu Sheng opened Jade Box, and there were seven longan-sized black pills spread out inside.
The pill exudes a peculiar medicinal fragrance, and when the fragrance enters your nose, Gu Sheng immediately feels that his power starts to work on its own to temper the bones.
"Just smelling it has such an effect, what if you eat it? It is indeed a high-grade elixir!"
Gu Sheng sighed in his heart and hurriedly put the box away with a smile on his face and said in his heart that the money was well spent!
The lowest price of Yellow Grade Low Rank's elixir in the world is over 900,000 yuan! Some special elixirs can be sold for as high as 1.5 million!
These seven Bone Washing Pill are worth 6.3 million even at the lowest price!
Gu Sheng Now I can suddenly understand why so many disciples of the Saint Pill Sect's War God Peak risked their lives to search for medicinal materials in the depths of the Chiyun Mountain Range. This is so profitable!
The bone-washing grass itself is only worth a few hundred thousand, but once it is refined into an elixir, the price will double! Saint Pill Sect disciples have an advantage in that the price they ask the elders to refine elixirs is much cheaper than the outside world! They can make a lot of money by doing the opposite!
