Chapter 25 Alchemy Madman

Mu Qing seemed to have prepared for this. He took off a ring from his hand and handed it to Lin Mu.

"All the materials are in here." Mu Qing smiled and said, "Two hundred spirit stones are also in here."

Lin Mu reached out to take the ring. After a brief investigation with his spiritual sense, he found that what Mu Qing said was true.

This ring does not recognize its owner, so anyone can use it.

Lin Mu put the ring on his hand and smiled, "Then I will give you the spirit gathering pill in ten days."

Mu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I live next door to Yunmeng, and you are welcome to come anytime."

After that, Mu Qing nodded to the two of them and left Yunmeng's courtyard.

Yunmeng just watched Mu Qing and Lin Mu, who were talking back and forth, and couldn't get a word in. She felt very uncomfortable.

She looked up at Lin Mu and said, "I also want you to make pills for me."

Lin Mu was stunned. She knew that she had been upset by leaving her aside. Lin Mu smiled and said, "Okay, how much do you want?"

Yun Meng was happy to hear Lin Mu's agreement, but she didn't have many spirit stones on her. She carefully calculated her wealth and said to Lin Mu, "Refine three sets of materials for me, and I will give you three spirit stones for each set of materials."

She only had fifteen spirit stones in total, and now she spent all of them.

Moreover, she was completely wasting her time. Fifteen spirit stones could buy three bottles of low-grade spirit stones in the Baiwu Pavilion.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Okay, but the reward is too high. I dare not accept it."

Yun Meng was happy and said with a smile, "It's okay. I have plenty of spirit stones."

Lin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had plenty of spirit stones, but he only refined three sets of materials. This lie was too unbelievable.

Yunmeng took out fifteen spirit stones and handed them to Lin Mu, saying, "Please buy the materials for me, and then give me the refined Soul Gathering Pills. If you fail to refine all of them, I won't blame you."

Lin Mu took the fifteen spirit stones wrapped in a silk handkerchief calmly, put them in his arms and said, "Okay, I will definitely give you three bottles of Soul Gathering Pills, and I guarantee that none of them will fail."

Yunmeng asked naively, "Really?"

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Really."

How can there be a 100% success rate in refining pills? No matter how powerful the alchemist is, there will be times when he fails.

Yunmeng actually believed what Lin Mu said and had no doubts.

After chatting with Yunmeng for a while, Lin Mu said goodbye and left.

Yunmeng sent Lin Mu out of the courtyard, and she stood there for a long time until Lin Mu's figure disappeared.

Lin Mu didn't even go back to the courtyard, and went straight to Danxia Peak.

Tai Ning was very enthusiastic this time: "Junior brother, you are here to make alchemy again. Will you choose the same alchemy room as last time?"

Lin Mu nodded and smiled: "Thank you, senior brother. I will use the same alchemy room as last time."

Although Lin Mu was very familiar with the route, Tai Ning still enthusiastically took Lin Mu there personally.

Along the way, Tai Ning chatted with Lin Mu kindly, greeted him with concern, and praised Lin Mu for his great talent in alchemy.

When they arrived in front of the row of alchemy rooms from last time, Lin Mu still chose the one at the edge.

Tai Ning looked at the middle-grade magic brass furnace and said: "Junior brother is really a genius. You can have a success rate of nearly 80% with this brass furnace. However, I have a top-grade magic bronze furnace, which can increase the success rate by another 10% based on the brass furnace. Although it is very difficult to make further progress, with your talent, there is still great hope that you can achieve an 80% success rate."

Tai Ning reached out and took out a green copper furnace from the storage bag.

Lin Mu looked at the bronze furnace, which was indeed more exquisitely made than the brass furnace. He was moved and asked with a smile: "The rental fee for this bronze furnace must be expensive, right?"

Tai Ning smiled slightly: "It's not expensive. Just add one more spiritual stone to the original one. Three spiritual stones a day, and you can freely use this alchemy room and this top-grade bronze furnace. It's very cost-effective."

Lin Mu nodded and smiled: "Then I would like to thank you, senior brother."

Tai Ning smiled: "Why thank you? This is what senior brother should do." As he said, he helped Lin Mu take down the brass furnace with his hands and feet and put the bronze furnace on the furnace rack on the stone platform.

"Okay, just concentrate on refining the elixir here. I won't disturb you." Tai Ning took the brass furnace and smiled and left the alchemy room.

Lin Mu waited for Tai Ning to walk away, came to the stone door of the alchemy room, pressed the mechanism, and slowly closed the stone door.

Taking out a piece of material from the storage ring and throwing it into the bronze furnace, Lin Mu held the round handle and input spiritual power into it.

The flames shot up high, and the bottom of the bronze furnace was surrounded by hot flames.

Swish!

A puff of green smoke came out of the bronze furnace.

Lin Mu looked at the scrapped material in astonishment and was speechless. Is this a bronze furnace that can increase the success rate by 10%? A piece of material was scrapped just after refining.

If Tai Ning was here, he would definitely shout injustice. The problem this time was really not with the bronze furnace, but with the flame.

The flame was too fierce at the beginning, and the material in the furnace could not withstand such a high temperature at once. Because Lin Mu's cultivation level rose by two levels, his control of the flame was no longer as confident as it was more than two months ago. The problem was that his grasp of strength remained more than two months ago.

Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh, if you don't practice for three days, your hands will be unripe, and if you don't practice for two months, your hands will be more unripe.

He began to practice fire control just like when he first learned to make pills.

This was a piece of cake for Lin Mu. He knew the basic tips. All he had to do was to get familiar with the spiritual power in his body and master the amplitude of spiritual power output.

After a while, Lin Mu was able to control the flames freely.

He put another batch of materials into the bronze furnace and began to refine carefully.

The improvement of his cultivation made him more confident in alchemy. At least in terms of spiritual power output, he was no longer so stretched.

This bronze furnace was indeed extraordinary. Whether it could improve the success of alchemy was not mentioned first. But in terms of alchemy time, it was much improved.

When the first furnace of Gathering Spirit Pill was successfully refined, it took only a little more than an hour. Two months ago, Lin Mu increased the speed of alchemy to one and a half hours per furnace. Now it is a step further. Of course, the increase in speed is also closely related to the improvement of his cultivation.

What made Lin Mu even more delighted was that after refining a furnace of pills, he still had more than half of his spiritual power left!

Compared with two months ago, he had made great progress.

This Lin Mu saved a lot of time. Every time, he would refine two furnaces of pills before returning to the Xuanyue Space to rest. Every time he rested for less than an hour, his spiritual power would be fully restored.

In this way, he could refine two bottles of Juling Pills in three hours.

If the refining failed, it would take even less time.

Lin Mu refined for a day without eating or drinking, consuming a total of 16 materials, scrapping 5 materials, and successfully refining 11 bottles of Juling Pills!

70%!

The actual refining rate this time was actually 70%.

For six consecutive days, Lin Mu did not step out of the alchemy room, and he was busy refining pills in the alchemy room all day. When he was hungry, he used the Bigu Pill to fill his stomach, and when he was tired, he rested in the Xuanyue Space.

After six days, Lin Mu consumed all 100 alchemy materials.

Remarkable results!

This time, he refined a total of 75 bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills.

The success rate has exceeded 70%.

Lin Mu walked out of the alchemy room exhausted. He did not immediately give the Gathering Spirit Pill to Mu Qing, but went straight to the Hundred Items Pavilion.

Before entering the pavilion, Gu Chen came out and said with a smile on his face: "Brother is finally here, have you recovered from your injuries?"

Lin Mu smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, my injuries are no longer a problem. I came here this time to do a big business with you."

Gu Chen was immediately beaming with joy when he heard it: "What big business, you want to buy materials for refining Gathering Spirit Pills again?"

Lin Mu nodded and smiled: "Smart. I'm going to buy fifty this time." He took out a hundred low-grade spirit stones from the storage ring and placed them on the counter. It was a small pile, like a small mountain.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up and he smiled, "It's really a big deal. Wait, I'll get it for you."

After that, he ran to the inner room. For this deal, he could get at least ten low-grade spirit stones as commission.

After a cup of tea, he ran out from the inner room again, carrying a large package. Putting it on the counter, he panted and said, "There are 51 materials in it, and the extra one is a favor."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Gu Chen showed his eight neat and white teeth and said, "This is what I should do. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Lin Mu put the package into the storage ring and smiled at Gu Chen, "Your life is much more comfortable than mine, so why do you need my care?"

Gu Chen said, "No, no, I dare not, I dare not."

Lin Mu walked out of the Baiwu Pavilion and said to Gu Chen, "Don't send it this time, it will make people laugh at it."

Gu Chen said, "I will, I will do as you say." But his feet did not stop, and he sent Lin Mu far away from the Baiwu Pavilion.

Dusk fell, and Lin Mu stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun and left Luoxia Peak.

The beautiful sunset of Luoxia Peak once made him lose his mind for a moment, but he did not stop, and went directly back to Danxia Peak and went straight to the Dan room.

Although it was late, the Dan room was bright.

Lin Mu knew that this was the result of the second-grade array "Glimmer Array" carved on the wall. Under the effect of the "Glimmer Array", the entire alchemy room was as bright as day. Of course, as a price, this "Glimmer Array" would consume a low-grade spirit stone every three days. People who were not wealthy could not afford to use this second-grade array.

Lin Mu began to continue refining the elixir in the alchemy room.

Lin Mu finished refining fifty materials in three days.

A total of thirty-eight bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills were refined.

On the fourth day, Lin Mu took out twenty more materials from the Xuanyue Space and continued to refine.

These twenty materials were used to refine a total of fifteen bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills, which took Lin Mu a whole day.

Of the fifteen bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills refined on the fourth day, Lin Mu took out five bottles and put them together with Mu Qing's seventy-five bottles, making a total of eighty bottles.

The remaining ten bottles and the ones refined in the last three days were put together, making a total of forty-eight bottles.

After finishing all this, Lin Mu looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction and nodded.

Lin Mu took out a pack of spiritual stones wrapped in a silk handkerchief from his arms, smiling, and could still smell the fragrance from the silk handkerchief.

Lin Mu put the eighty bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills into the storage ring. Of the remaining forty-eight bottles, Lin Mu took out thirty-six bottles and carefully wrapped them in a bag. He kept four bottles for himself, and the remaining eight bottles were used to pay for the ten-day rental fee.

Tai Ning saw Lin Mu coming in and immediately smiled and said, "Junior brother, is the refining done?"

Lin Mu nodded, took out eight bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills, handed them to Tai Ning, and said with a smile, "According to the price of three spirit stones per day, ten days is thirty. These eight bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills should be more than enough to offset the rental fee."

Tai Ning took the eight bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills with a smile and said, "Thank you very much, Junior Brother. I am now extremely eager for Gathering Spirit Pills."

No wonder he said so. Qianyu Sword Sect has a sect rule that outer disciples cannot buy more than twenty bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills from the Baiwu Pavilion every month. Therefore, even if you have spirit stones, you can only look at the plums to quench your thirst for Gathering Spirit Pills. Now, Lin Mu was using the Soul Gathering Pills as rent at a lower price, so he was naturally happy to enjoy the benefits.

After bidding farewell to Tai Ning, Lin Mu carried a large bag of Soul Gathering Pills and headed towards the East Peak.
