Scientifically Cultivating In An Unscientific World - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: One Cauldron of Ten Pills, the Pinnacle of Pills!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tianguang Peak.

At Grade A cave abode.

Lu Ming sat quietly in front of the pill cauldron, shockingly refining ten pills at the same time.

If other people who knew alchemy saw this scene, their jaws would drop.

Because this scene was too outrageous.

Every alchemist could only refine one pill at a time when refining pills.

After all, this involved the refining of the essence of the medicinal herbs by the pill fire, as well as the control of the final pill formation.

This was an iron rule recognised by every alchemist.

Of course, if there was a great alchemist above Rank 6 who could refine three Rank 1 pills at the same time, they could barely do it.

But no one would do that.

If they had the time and energy, why not refine a Rank 6 pill?

Even a Rank 6 great alchemist could barely refine three pills.

Lu Ming, who was only a Rank 1 alchemist, actually refined ten pills at the same time.

Naturally, it would be unimaginable!

Bang!

Lu Ming slapped the pill cauldron heavily, and the ten pills condensed into pills at the same time. Each of them flew out of the pill cauldron with a golden glow.

Ten golden rays of light flew out and landed on the porcelain bottle in Lu Ming’s palm.

One hundred percent!

All of them were one hundred percent!

After keeping the porcelain bottle properly, Lu Ming also heaved a sigh of relief.

After deciding on his future plans, Lu Ming immediately took action.

The first thing he had to do was to refine pills to earn spirit stones and obtain the starting capital to purchase the first batch of talismans and spirit tools.

As for the cost of refining pills, it was naturally the dozens of medicinal ingredients and pill cauldrons that Gu Zecang had forced him to bring back last night.

Only one morning had passed, he had already refined seven spirit gathering pills, eight marrow cleansing pills, and the ten foundation establishment pills that had just come out of the cauldron.

The number of medicinal ingredients that Gu Zecang had given him wasn’t too much. According to an ordinary Rank 1 alchemist, it would be pretty good if he could refine ten out of twenty-five Rank 1 medicinal herbs.

However, with Lu Ming’s powerful Rank 1 scientific alchemy, he naturally wouldn’t waste a single portion.

As for whether the value of these medicinal pills would allow him to exchange for a large number of spirit stones, Lu Ming wasn’t worried at all.

When he obtained the scientific alchemy technique newcomer gift pack, regarding information about Rank 1 medicinal pills, no one understood more thoroughly than him.

The value of the spirit gathering pill was still good.

A 100% completion rate could increase the price by five times.

However, the value of the marrow cleansing pill and foundation establishment pill would increase greatly.

These pills, which were related to a cultivator’s qualification and realm, had always been the most sought after.

Currently, the highest completion rate of the marrow cleansing pill was 76%.

This meant that after taking the marrow cleansing pill, there was a 76% chance to completely wash away the lead dust in one’s body and raise one’s aptitude.

For example, one’s aptitude could be raised from inferior to moderate, or from below average to above average.

Don’t look at this as a small step.

It could decide how high a level a cultivator could reach.

In addition, although the 76% chance seemed high, in the end, if one wanted to obtain the marrow-cleansing effect, they still had to rely on quantity.

However, the amount of marrow cleansing pills a cultivator could consume in their lifetime was limited.

Therefore, whether or not their aptitude could be improved, or to what extent, could only depend on whether the completion rate of the marrow-cleansing pills was high or not.

Therefore, under such circumstances, even if Gu Zecang’s 91% completion rate of the marrow-cleansing pills was already very high, in the end, it still had to fall into the probability category.

It was considered to have a very good effect, but it still required the accumulation of quantity. It was just that the quantity was relatively much smaller.

However, the eight marrow cleansing pills in Lu Ming’s hands were different.

100% completion rate!

The ultimate marrow cleansing pill!

In other words, as long as a cultivator consumed it, their aptitude would increase by a small stage!

Moreover, they only needed one!

The value of the pill would increase by tens or even dozens of times!

The same was true for the foundation establishment pill.

There was nothing else to say, just one sentence.

For other foundation establishment pills with a 70% completion rate, even cultivators with low aptitude might not be able to break through to the foundation establishment realm after taking 30 of them.

As for Lu Ming’s ultimate foundation establishment pill, it could directly enter one’s soul.

It didn’t matter what kind of talent you had, as long as you had cultivated to the complete state, you would break through your current realm!

This was a great temptation for those free-travelling practitioners in the secular world.

At the same time, Lu Ming didn’t intend to sell these magic pills in the sect.

He wanted to go to the auction house outside the sect.

It was because the Center Sect forbade the trading of the foundation establishment pill.

The reason why the Center Sect, which had the Pill Peak, forbade the trading of these foundation establishment pills was very simple.

They were afraid that the low completion rate of the foundation establishment pills would affect their disciples’ aptitude.

It would block their path of cultivation.

However, even if Lu Ming took this foundation establishment pill, he didn’t need to worry about the side effects of the pills affecting his aptitude.

It was because the completion rate was 100%.

It had a perfect medicinal effect and there were no side effects!

After taking out these medicinal pills, Lu Ming wasn’t worried about their value at all.

In his cave abode, after storing the medicinal pills and the pill cauldron into the Heaven and Earth pouch that was given to him when he came to Tianguang Peak, Lu Ming, who had left his state of selflessness while refining pills, suddenly noticed something.

Why was the rate at which the condensation of the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth in his cave abode so much faster than yesterday?

It had directly doubled!

What was the meaning of this?

After entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, the body of a cultivator would automatically inhale and exhale.

Of course, this kind of breathing was certainly not as effective as the formal practice of the breathing exercise.

However, with such rich spiritual energy, Lu Ming was afraid that he would break through the minor realm in a month.

Just as Lu Ming curiously got up and began to search for the reason, Gu Zecang’s voice also came from outside his cave abode.

“Is Junior Brother Lu in the cave abode?”

Hearing the voice, Lu Ming took the opportunity to walk out of the cave abode. Seeing that the other party’s tone and expression were correct and confirming that it was Gu Zecang, he raised his hand and lifted the restriction.

“Senior Brother Gu is looking for me? Come in and have a chat.”

“Okay!”

Gu Zecang was both excited and nervous at the same time.

After all, the matter of alchemy was too big.

He really couldn’t say anything.

He had to think of a way to create a good impression for Junior Brother Lu first.

Therefore, when the two of them walked into Lu Ming’s cave abode, Gu Zecang, who had been pondering, suddenly had an idea.

He smiled and said, “Junior Brother Lu, do you feel that there are some changes in your cave abode today?”

The two of them were talking and walking towards the hall of Lu Ming’s cave abode.

The hall was clean and elegant, with a mahogany chair and a long table.

Lu Ming motioned for Gu Zecang to sit down, and at the same time, sized up his cave abode.

“There doesn’t seem to be any changes.”

After hearing this, Gu Zecang patiently said, “Junior Brother Lu, do you feel that the spiritual energy in your cave abode has become much denser?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming recalled his experiences just now and his expression instantly changed.

Alright.

Hey, Senior Brother Gu, are you playing me?
