May the ancestral master protect us!

"Thank the ancestral master!"

"May the ancestral master protect us!"

One shichen is two hours, which is the time it takes Zhang Xuezhou to refine one batch of Fortune Pill.

Modern laboratory pharmaceutical processes have eliminated many of the mystical rules of Alchemist, and Zhang Xuezhou has reduced the time it takes for Alchemist to refine pills, which used to take three to seven days, to the shortest possible time.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't engage in alchemy rituals. He was in a hurry when learning alchemy from Zou Bugui, and Zou Bugui didn't instill in him the rigid rules and regulations of the Yin -Yin-Yang School. Everything was based on practicality.

But Zhang Xuezhou has to admit that the concept of Tai Sui (the Grand Duke Jupiter) is truly mysterious and profound.

In short, the Tai Sui he added to the alchemy process didn't cause any trouble.

One batch failed, two batches succeeded; the success rate of alchemy was within Zhang Xuezhou's normal performance range.

Zhang Xuezhou was very satisfied with the two new batches of mid-grade Qi and Blood Fortune Pill he had just acquired.

After refining five batches of pills in a row, Zhang Xuezhou only paused when Zhufu Yan asked if he could eat something.

"Should we change to someone else?" Wei Qing asked, pursing his dry lips.

"I'm just hungry, but I can still work!"

Zhufu Yan hurriedly argued, then immediately regretted making the request.

Although I was very hungry, the aroma of the medicinal herbs in the Alchemy Chamber was too strong, far more pure than the smell of watery herbs outside.

In just one day, the problem of Zhufu Yan's Qi and Blood being abundant after entering the Body Transformation Realm was directly resolved, and he did not experience the Kongxu and weakness that comes with breaking through a realm, which requires rest.

Based on his past experiences of breaking through to higher realms, Zhufu Yan felt that he had saved at least a month of time in expanding his old acupoints and refining his new ones.

The effect was so good that he couldn't bear to leave.

If the Alchemy Chamber needed lackeys, Zhufu Yan considered himself the most loyal lackey.

But hunger was truly unbearable. Zhufu Yan looked at Wei Qing, then at Huo Qubing with his bulging belly, and then at Zhang Xuezhou. He finally lowered his head, realizing that he absolutely could not go hungry.

"My Grain Avoidance Pill has too much energy and is not suitable for casual consumption. Do you have any Grain Avoidance Pill?" Zhang Xuezhou asked Wei Qing.

Zhang Xuezhou clearly didn't want to keep changing people. Although he felt that Zhufu Yan had some issues with his character, Zhufu Yan was undeniably a good worker.

The other party worked very hard and fulfilled almost all the requirements. Zhang Xuezhou couldn't just send them away because Zhufu Yan said he was hungry.

He asked Wei Qing a question, which made Wei Qing shake his head.

"I didn't carry any Grain Avoidance medication with me. It was the Marquis who fed me a seven-day Grain Avoidance Pill over there, and I haven't been hungry since," Wei Qing said.

"That's a bit troublesome!"

Zhang Xuezhou frowned and looked again at the Pill Furnace he was about to start again.

"This person isn't afraid of overeating; he has many techniques that deplete his Qi and Blood," Huo Qubing reminded him.

"That's true!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted his head, as if he had remembered the special circumstances of Huo Qubing and Jin Wanliang.

His Grain Avoidance Pill were somewhat excessive, but Huo Qubing and Jin Wanliang were not exactly qualified to take them either.

"This is a Grain Avoidance pill. Take one to tide you over, and drink as little water as possible!"

Zhang Xuezhou took the pills from his Lesser Heaven and Earth Bag and then gave instructions to Zhufu Yan.

"Hehe~"

The Zhufu Yan, Yan Xinxi, snickered.

If he had a way to keep it for himself, he felt he would definitely have cut the pill in two, consumed one piece himself, and sold the other for a good price.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no choice but to swallow the medicine, and then drink half a bowl of water as instructed.

"You think drinking water will fill you up?"

A rapid feeling of fullness came from his abdomen, which startled Zhufu Yan. He also noticed that his strength was rapidly returning, and the fatigue from his previous hard work was gradually fading.

"No wonder this young Huo works day and night without getting tired at all. What kind of Grain Avoidance Pill is he taking? It's practically an elixir of immortality!"

Zhufu Yan felt repeatedly shocked, and he felt that he had a very poor understanding of high society.

Life is indeed very tough for those at the bottom of society, but those in the upper class are very happy.

Zhufu Yan didn't ask for much more. If he had been able to stand in the Alchemy Chamber and help with the fire twenty years ago, he wouldn't be in this dilapidated state today.

"Keep refining! As long as I have a breath left, I'm willing to refine pills until the end of time!" Zhufu Yan patted his chest and said.

"We still need to sleep," Wei Qing yawned. "Lord Dongfang, let's take a break after we finish these two batches, recharge, and then refine the remaining herbs!"

"OK!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou himself was not tired, but the others were, especially Wei Qing, who had been accompanying the new emperor on his travels for many days and had not been able to rest in the side hall like Zhang Xuezhou and Huo Qubing. It was quite remarkable that he had managed to hold on until now.

He agreed to Wei Qing's request and indicated that he would temporarily stop working after refining the last two batches of Fortune Pill.

"Come, Master, please bless me!"

Zhang Xuezhou started refining pills again, and everyone entered into a nearly repetitive process, constantly cooperating in refining pills according to Zhang Xuezhou's instructions.

"Dear founders of the Yin-Yang School and all passing deities, and all sages who perceive the void, I, your student, am here refining elixirs, desiring a batch of the finest. I humbly request your granting of favor, divine permission, and guidance!"

Zhang Xuezhou wandered back and forth, and as usual, he performed a shamanistic ritual.

His behavior wasn't strange. Zhang Xuezhou had been constantly circling the Pill Furnace to observe and make adjustments to the alchemy process as needed. It was just that he was muttering some mysterious words in a low voice at the moment.

No one dared to speak up or agree, and everyone followed the rules of the Alchemy Chamber.

"May the ancestral master bless us with the creation of an exceptional item!"

As the furnace was about to be opened, Zhang Xuezhou channeled his Law Power to continuously tumble the pills, and as usual, shouted loudly, signaling Wei Qing to pull out the bottom of the furnace and remove the pills.

"The elixir has been extracted!"

Wei Qing reached out and pulled at the Pill Furnace, only to feel a flash of red light before his eyes and his nostrils filled with the smell of blood.

As he glanced down, he saw that some of the pills he pulled out had a layer of shimmering light on their surface, making them look as smooth as glass, and the pills also had a sunset red hue.

A small portion of the two hundred pills appeared like this, while the twelve pills in the very center were bright red, as if they had been smeared with a layer of fresh blood.

Wei Qing inhaled the pungent smell of blood that had entered his nostrils, and felt his face burning hot, his body rapidly heating up.

"This elixir..."

After gritting his teeth, Wei Qing was momentarily unsure.

"Did the ancestral master really protect me?"

Perhaps due to the large enough base number, or perhaps for other reasons, Zhang Xuezhou discovered that he had actually produced high-grade Fortune Pill and top-grade Fortune Pill.

This is a batch of pills with extremely complex ingredients. The outermost pills are pale yellow with a dark hue, the next layer is translucent, and further inwards they have a glassy luster. The core of the pills is filled with a shimmering light and a pervasive Blood Qi.

Four different qualities of Fortune Pill appeared simultaneously in one batch of pills.

Clearly, the Grand Duke Jupiter played a very subtle role in this batch of pills, which resulted in pills of different qualities.
