The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 111 Fire Lotus Pill

Cao Rui can have such a high income, with Sun Ming's concessions, but more importantly, it is based on the premise that Cao Rui's Huanglong Pill has a high pill yield rate and high quality.

If it were another alchemist, there would be a loss rate after failure, and the quality of the pills would not be so high. The repurchase price given by Danlingbao Pavilion would be at most ten spirit stones or even lower.

Naturally, the income is very different from Cao Rui's.

For Sun Ming, in addition to making money, his main task is to maintain the image of Danlingbao Pavilion that the pills produced must be high-quality pills.

Sun Ming would rather make less money to buy back Cao Rui's high-quality Huanglong Pills than to buy back the inferior Huanglong Pills made by low-level alchemists.

Cao Rui's income has also been arranged.

On the one hand, it is used to purchase spiritual medicines for the new pill experiment. After the pill experiment is completed, Cao Rui will completely exchange the spirit stones for the spiritual medicine materials of the new pill, and refine the new spirit pill to quickly improve his strength.

More than 10,000 spirit stones a month.

This is just five hours of income, Cao Rui's income is already very exaggerated.

Not many alchemists can earn more than Cao Rui.

Even those alchemists in the foundation-building period.

Because the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in Yunzhou's cultivation world is exhausted, there are few high-level cultivators, and most of the cultivators are concentrated in the Qi Refining period. The most consumed are elixirs such as Lingyuan Pills and Huanglong Pills.

Assuming that Cao Rui refines cultivation pills for the foundation-building period, then the market is not enough, and no matter how many pills he refines, he cannot make a profit.

Not to mention the cultivation pills in the foundation-building period, the spiritual medicines are more expensive and more difficult to collect.

"Okay." Cao Rui nodded and agreed to this distribution plan.

Sun Ming smiled happily: "Then it's settled."

"Old Cao, starting tomorrow, I will deliver the materials for the Huanglong Pill to your house."

"No problem." Cao Rui nodded in agreement.

Cao Rui now lives in the loft base of the previous Yunshui Sect. This location is located in the center of the market, with a connection point with the gathering spirit formation, and the cultivation room is filled with spiritual energy.

Of course, the previous attic had been destroyed by Cao Rui's spirit beast Black Feather.

The current building has been changed into a seven-story training tower, and Cao Rui's daily training place is on the seventh floor of the training tower.

So, Cao Rui said goodbye to Sun Ming and returned to his own training tower.

When Cao Rui returned to the seventh floor of the training tower, there was already a figure there.

On the seventh floor of the training tower, usually, only two people in the entire market are qualified to enter this place.

One of them is Cao Rui himself, and the other is the foundation building elder Ye Yunyin.

This elder in charge of the spiritual mine affairs, if there is no important matter, will choose to practice in seclusion in the training tower here most of the time.

As for the spiritual mine, there is nothing to supervise the mining process.

As long as the monthly output is in line with expectations, Ye Yunyin only needs to go there in person once a month to collect the mined spiritual stones.

Apart from this, there is nothing else worth coveting about the spiritual stone mine.

After all, the spirit stone mine itself is just a large piece of ore, which must be mined by the cultivators with time and energy before it can be finally transformed into real spirit stones.

The spirit stone mine is so large that no one can move it away casually.

Ye Yunyin nodded slightly to Cao Rui, and then continued to close his eyes and rest his mind, concentrating on cultivating his magic power.

He was at the critical moment of breaking through the fourth level of the foundation-building period, and seemed to have touched the bottleneck gap. He was seizing the time to comprehend every day.

Cao Rui took out the ancient pill formula and continued to study it carefully to find out the gaps.

The first-level spiritual pill on this ancient pill formula is called Snow Lotus Pill.

The main spiritual medicine for refining the Snow Spirit Pill is the thousand-year-old Ice Heart Snow Lotus.

The Ice Heart Snow Lotus is extremely rare in Yunzhou and is close to extinction. Therefore, the first step for Cao Rui to transform this ancient pill formula is to find a substitute for the Ice Heart Snow Lotus.

After reading the recipe of Snow Lotus Pill, Cao Rui made a very bold but well-reasoned decision with his rich knowledge of pills and in-depth understanding of the characteristics of herbs - changing "Snow Lotus Pill" to "Fire Lotus Pill"!

In the southwestern region of Yunzhou, there is a very special and precious fire-attributed spiritual medicine, called - Lava Red Lotus.

Lava Red Lotus is the main substitute Cao Rui chose to replace Ice Heart Snow Lotus!

This unique spiritual medicine will only grow naturally in the extremely hot crater, absorbing the majestic and hot energy in the crater.

Although the Tianshan Mountains where snow lotus grows in Yunzhou are rare, there are many active volcanoes.

This makes the Yunzhou Xiuxian world have a high degree of understanding of Lava Red Lotus, and has long accumulated rich planting experience and knowledge.

A thousand-year-old Lava Red Lotus, if the cultivators skillfully use magic to stimulate it, can be successfully grown in just a dozen years.

In addition, the cultivators' spiritual medicine gardens adopted a large-scale planting method, so the market price of the thousand-year-old molten red lotus would not be too outrageous.

Next, Cao Rui replaced the other auxiliary medicines in the pill formula one by one, and selected some spiritual medicines that are more common in Yunzhou.

Although these spiritual medicines are different from those in the original pill formula, they can still exert similar medicinal effects through clever matching and adjustment.

So far, shortly after the auction ended, Cao Rui successfully developed a new pill formula in a short period of time - "Fire Lotus Pill".

Compared with the original Snow Lotus Pill, this new pill formula can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

It not only changed the main medicine, but also changed the types of most auxiliary medicines. The most important thing is that the properties of the entire pill formula were completely tampered with.

Such changes are undoubtedly very bold.

However, Cao Rui's changes were not imagined out of thin air, but based on his experience of absorbing experience beads, and his deep understanding and unique insights into the properties of spiritual medicines.

Cao Rui has now mastered and cultivated all the 0-level pill recipes in the Alchemy Institute to perfection, and the spiritual medicine knowledge he has obtained is extremely exaggerated.

He has a lot of experience and knowledge in alchemy as support in his mind.

Therefore, this bold transformation was made.

According to Cao Rui's estimation, there is about a 70% to 80% chance of successfully refining the Fire Lotus Pill on the new pill recipe.

Of course, the actual situation may be affected by various factors, and it is necessary to constantly change the scale and experiment, which takes a long time.

However, Cao Rui is only 26 years old this year, and he has enough time to spend.

Cao Rui has calculated that if he develops according to his own plan, the cost of a spiritual medicine in this pill recipe can be controlled at about 20 spirit stones if the development is successful.

Relying on the Fire Lotus Pill to break through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual stones consumed are still within Cao Rui's tolerance.

Time came five days later in the blink of an eye.

The inner disciple in charge of vigilance in the training tower sent a message that Sun Ming, the general manager of Danlingbao Pavilion, was looking for him.

"Have the spiritual medicines finally arrived?"

Cao Rui came to the hall on the first floor of the training tower and met Sun Ming.

"Old Cao, the spiritual medicines you want are all gathered, a total of thirty portions, six hundred spiritual stones, I will put it on your account first."

Cao Rui is now in the experimental stage, and the spiritual medicines are expected to be frequently replaced, so thirty portions of spiritual medicine materials are enough.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Cao Rui took the storage bag containing the spiritual medicine.

"Old Cao, I wish you a smooth development of the new pill formula. I will withdraw first. Contact me at any time if you need any spiritual medicine." After Sun Ming gave the spiritual medicine, he did not bother Cao Rui much and turned to leave.

Cao Rui watched Sun Ming leave, then held the storage bag and came to the alchemy room on the seventh floor of the training tower.
