Chapter 267: The Miao Family Is in Trouble (5K)

It’s the twenty-second floor...

If it weren't for the Hunyuan Infinite Kung Fu in front of him, Diamond Iron Cloth Shirt would be the highest level of Kung Fu he could practice.

After sighing for a moment, Su Chen stopped thinking and concentrated on improving his skills.

Nine hours passed quickly, and the Vajra Iron Shirt reached the twenty-second level as a matter of course.

Su Chen, who was feeling very emotional just now, became happy after seeing the changes in the panel.

"The next level is the limit!"

The long-lost word "limit" appeared in front of him like a naked and beautiful woman, exuding endless charm.

He finally reached the ultimate condition of the Diamond Iron Cloth Shirt.

"Sen Luo Vientiane Map?"

Most of the conditions for cultivating the Vajra Iron Clothes to the limit are easily met.

This is the only thing Su Chen has never heard of.

"In addition to the Wan Yi Gong, there is a new Senluo Wanxiang Map. I just hope that this thing will not be as difficult to find as the Wan Yi Gong."

Su Chen quickly accepted the conditions.

Compared to these conditions, he still looks forward to the fusion of the Vajra Iron Cloth Shirt and the Infinite Hunyuan Gong.

After calming down, Su Chen continued to concentrate on refining the pulse-opening pill.

These one hundred pulse-opening pills were produced purely by accumulation of times, without much skill at all.

Su Chen only chose this method regardless of the cost in order to improve the Nine Turns of Lifting Fire Technique and make it easier to make pills.

That won’t happen next, but focus on improving quality.

With the help of the Fourth Transformation Lihuo, Su Chen did not need to worry too much about the quality of the Pulse Opening Pill, which was at least average.

Because the Fourth Turn of Lihuo has a new function, that is, when the elixir is formed, it can be tempered to improve its quality.

For low-quality elixirs like that, Lihuo plays a great role and can directly upgrade them to medium-quality elixirs.

Therefore, even if Su Chen made a mistake in refining a low-grade elixir, it would be tempered by Lihuo into a medium quality pill.

Of course, for high-grade and superior elixirs, the effect of tempering by fire is not that obvious.

However, for the current Su Chen, this is a big help and can help him save a lot of trouble.

Three months passed quietly, and before he knew it, Su Chen had become a second-grade alchemist who had been refining alchemy for two and a half years.

This speed is not very fast, but it is not slow either. At least in Miao Kuo's opinion, Su Chen still has a very high talent for alchemy.

This day.

In the lobby.

"Shopkeeper Miao, take a look for yourself. This is the elixir refined for us by the alchemist sent by your pharmacy. Not only is the effect poor, the quality is not up to standard, but the attitude is also extremely bad. Is this how you treat big and old customers? ?" A middle-aged man in a green shirt said dissatisfied.

He came to hold people accountable today, and his attitude was very tough: "If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation today, I think the cooperation between the Miao family and our Xiao family will be terminated. The Miao family's alchemists and elixirs, our Xiao family's I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy it happily!”

"Steward Xiao, calm down." Miao Qian frowned and picked up the elixir brought by Steward Xiao.

After taking a closer look, I found that the quality of the elixir was not good, but it was not bad either.

High-level pulse-opening pills are also extremely challenging for third-level alchemists.

Moreover, most of the pills the other party took out were high-grade pulse-opening pills.

This made her a little angry.

In order not to lose the Xiao family as a customer, the Miao family has tried its best to meet their demands.

The alchemists sent out may not be the best third-level alchemists in Tiandan City in terms of skills, but their standards are definitely not bad, and their attitudes are serious.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family temporarily raised their requirements and said they only wanted high-quality pulse-opening pills.

Excellent elixirs, no matter what grade they are in, are not that simple to make.

Besides, the Xiao family needs a lot.

If they hadn't given her generous money, Miao Qian would have turned against her and let them go back and forth wherever they wanted.

"Steward Xiao, we have not considered this matter. Do you think this is okay?

These pulse-opening pills should be regarded as our apology. In addition, we will give you an additional thousand high-quality pulse-opening pills as a gift.

As for these alchemists, we will recall some of them and send better alchemists to refine the pulse-opening pills for your house. What do you think? "

Miao Qian put down the elixir, quickly came up with an idea, and spoke calmly.

After hearing such sincere words, Butler Xiao thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, Boss Miao is the one to be happy. This matter is settled. However, Boss Miao needs to keep in mind that there is a time limit for this batch of elixirs." , if it is overdue, the Miao family will need to pay ten times the default payment."

After saying that, Butler Xiao left gracefully with the elixir.

Miao Qian was sitting alone in the lobby, meditating, with a tangled look on her face.

If you want to refine a high-quality pulse-opening pill in a furnace, you need a third-level alchemist with rich experience.

Although the Miao family has many alchemists, including qualified third-grade alchemists, it is still not enough to meet the requirements of the Xiao family.

Unless a fourth-grade alchemist is sent.

However, if the fourth-level alchemy is used to refine such elixirs, the gains outweigh the losses.

Asking a fourth-grade alchemist to take action can certainly improve the quality of the pulse-opening pill, but the price paid is also higher than that of a third-grade pill.

Although the reward given by the Xiao family this time was large, it was also large and required at least three fourth-grade alchemists to refine the pulse-opening pill.

As a result, the costs incurred by the Miao family would be much higher, and overall, they would be unable to make ends meet.

This puts Miao Qian in trouble.

After thinking for a long time, Miao Qian finally decided to ask a fourth-grade alchemist to take action.

In any case, conscientiously completing the transaction is the basis for the Miao family's survival, and the transaction cannot be abandoned because of an imbalance between income and expenditure.

Besides, she didn't want to lose such a big customer as the Xiao family.

"Let's go talk to father for a while first."

After having an idea, Miao Qian was ready to ask Miao Kuo.

As a fifth-grade alchemist, Miao Kuo may not know much about alchemists, but in terms of face, he is beyond her reach.

To ask a fourth-grade alchemist to come forward, you need to rely on Miao Kuo's identity and status.

"You want to find a fourth-grade alchemist to refine the pulse-opening pill?" Miao Kuo was a little surprised when he learned about it.

Is it a bit overkill to ask a fourth-grade alchemist to refine the pulse-opening pill?

The Vein Opening Pill is different from other elixirs in that it is only used to open up profound veins, so its market share is destined to be so large.

Except for the third-level alchemy master, the fourth-level alchemist didn't like it at all.

The time it takes to refine ten pulse-opening pills is enough for them to refine ten more profitable pills.

Miao Qian knew what Miao Kuo was thinking, so she informed Miao Kuo of the current situation of the Miao family.

After hearing this, Miao Kuo laughed and said, "It turns out that the Xiao family just wants a high-quality pulse-opening pill. Just wait."

After saying that, Miao Kuo walked into the room, took out a pulse-opening pill from the room, handed it to Miao Qian, and said, "What do you think of this one?"

Miao Qian recognized the quality of the elixir just by looking at it: "The color is bright, the body is full, and the aura is long. It is excellent!"

"This is the elixir refined by Xiang Shaolong." Miao Kuo said.

"Xiang Shaolong?" A young figure appeared in Miao Qian's mind.

Over the past two years, she had gotten to know this young man a lot, and knew that he was temporarily staying at Miao's house to study alchemy with Miao Kuo.

I just didn't expect that the other party could actually refine the Pulse Opening Pill.

"What's his rate of becoming a pill?" Miao Qian was slightly shocked and asked.

Miao Kuo shook his head: "I don't know, but he is now able to refine superior pulse-opening pills. If you need it, I can help you ask, by the way, how many superior pulse-opening pills do you need?"

"One hundred thousand!" Miao Qian said a number.

After a pause, she added: "If Xiang Shaolong has a high rate of producing elixirs, we can let him try it. The medicinal materials will be free of charge, and there will even be a 10% profit."

Miao Kuo nodded and asked Miao Qian to wait here while he went to find Su Chen.

Half an hour later, Miao Kuo came back and informed: "He agreed, but there is one condition, which is to stay in Miao Mansion to refine the pulse-opening pill."

"No problem." Miao Qian didn't care about this, but asked, "How many high-quality pulse-opening pills can he refine in one month?"

"About ten thousand." Miao Kuo replied.

Miao Qian was shocked after hearing this. Ten thousand high-quality pulse-opening pills didn't mean Luo Lu had a superior one.

It took less than three years to reach this level. Su Chen's talent was higher than she imagined.

"That means there are still 90,000 pills left." Miao Qian said slightly thoughtfully.

After hearing this, Miao Kuo shook his head, took out a large sack and said, "Here are 40,000 high-quality pulse-opening pills."

Miao Qian saw this sack when Miao Kuo brought it back, but she didn't care about it at the time.

Now the moment he opened it, a strong smell of elixir suddenly came out of it.

Miao Qian's soul swept away and she found that there were 40,000 high-quality pulse-opening pills just as Miao Kuo said.

"Are these all refined by Xiang Shaolong?" Miao Qian's pretty face moved.

I was surprised that there were so many elixirs, and I was also surprised that someone used sacks to store the elixirs.

You must know that the efficacy of elixirs will slowly disappear over time, so many elixirs need to be preserved.

Stored in sacks like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before the effects of the 40,000 pills dissipate.

As an alchemist, it was impossible for Su Chen not to know this, but he still did it, leaving Miao Qian speechless.

This is too big-hearted!

Miao Kuo also had a complicated expression, and he saw something deeper than Miao Qian.

It's not that Su Chen is not worried about the loss of medicinal properties, but there is no need to worry.

Because these elixirs are all refined from the Nine Turns Li Fire, the Nine Turns Li Fire has the function of blocking the efficacy of the medicine.

Not to mention packing it in a sack, even if it is left in the open air for a period of time, the medicinal effect will not be lost.

Unlike Miao Qian's focus, he didn't care about the number of elixirs, nor did he care that the elixirs were packed in sacks.

But Su Chen unexpectedly learned the Nine-Revolution Lifting Fire Technique without saying a word, and even reached the level of Fourth-Revolution.

With such a speed of cultivation, even with his knowledge, he has to be called "outstanding!"

He has practiced the Nine-Turn Lifting Fire Technique, so he knows how difficult it is. Although the first three turns are relatively simple, they still require several years of effort.

Su Chen completed his training in less than two years, and he reached the fourth level directly.

More importantly, he was practicing while refining alchemy. Wouldn't it be faster if he devoted himself wholeheartedly to practice?

At this moment, Miao Kuo admitted that he was moved and wanted to accept Su Chen as his apprentice.

But when he thought of Su Chen's strength, he gave up this plan again.

"You can take all these pills back and give him his share of the Spiritual Essence Pill. I'm afraid you will have to figure out a way for the remaining 50,000 pills on your own," Miao Kuo said.

Miao Qian nodded absentmindedly. Fifty thousand high-quality pulse-opening pills were enough to save her a lot of money.

You may not even need to hire an additional fourth-grade alchemist.

She pursed her red lips and said softly: "Thank him for me."

After saying that, he picked up the sack without caring about the image and walked away.

Of course, Su Chen didn't know that he had solved a big problem for the Miao family invisibly.

At this moment, he was thinking about refining the elixir.

Originally, he was supposed to give up the Pulse Opening Pill and refine new pills in the past few days, but Miao Kuo's appearance disrupted his plan.

"I can complete ten thousand high-quality pulse-opening pills in about twenty days, so don't be too anxious and buy the Zengyuan Pill recipe first."

Zengyuan Pill is a fourth-grade elixir required to advance to the fifth turn of the Nine-turn Lihuo Jue. It belongs to the strengthening category.

But at this time, Su Chen no longer needed to care too much about the level and category of the elixir.

He is different from the mainstream alchemists in that he only refines the elixirs needed for the panel.

A first-grade alchemist only needs to refine one first-grade elixir, two second-grade elixirs, three third-grade elixirs... and so on.

Su Chen only refined one or two elixirs for each level, so it was impossible to define his true level.

Of course, he doesn't care either.

"Zeng Yuan Dan is a fourth-grade elixir, and the price of the elixir is not cheap!"

Of course, Su Chen didn't have to worry too much about this issue.

Not long after, Miao Qian sent the profits earned from the previous 40,000 pulse-opening pills to Su Chen.

Su Chen suddenly changed from a pauper to a small rich man, and he had no shortage of money to buy pills.

It's just that it's probably not that easy to buy the kind of elixir with quality comparable to the one given by Miao Kuo.

Su Chen thought for a while and finally decided to find Miao Kuo for advice.

Miao Kuo was surprised to learn that Su Chen planned to start refining the Yuan-Zeng Dan again. He didn't understand why Su Chen was so eager for success.

After persuading him to no avail, Miao Kuo finally agreed to teach Su Chen his experience in refining the Zengyuan Pill.

With Miao Kuo's guidance, Su Chen's experience with Zengyuan Dan skyrocketed.

After studying with Miao Kuo for a full month, Su Chen turned from theory to practice and gradually verified the knowledge he had learned.

Failure, failure, failure...

Starting from Zengyuan Dan, failure has become the norm.

Su Chen, who was originally wealthy, not only failed to appreciate the joy of success, but also spent most of his savings in just two months.

He could only enjoy the fragrance of success from Kai Mai Dan, while studying Zengyuan Dan and refining Kai Mai Dan.

This situation lasted for four months, and Su Chen finally succeeded in refining a batch of Yuan-Zeng Dan.

And the effect was remarkable. Five Yuan-Zeng Dans were produced in one furnace, with various qualities.

Once the floodgates are opened, success pours out like a flood.

This was the case for Su Chen. Since the first refining was successful, the number of subsequent refinings was successful more and more.

In less than seven days, Su Chen had refined a hundred Yuan-increasing pills.

The Nine-Turn Lifting Fire Technique has naturally been upgraded to the fifth-turn, and the bonus to the quality of the elixir has become even more fierce.

Moreover, Su Chen also discovered that if he used the power of Hunyuan to refine elixirs with Li Huo, the number of elixirs produced would be greatly increased.

For example, for the Pulse Opening Pill, no matter how good an ordinary alchemist is, he can only refine ten pills at most, but Su Chen can refine twelve or even fifteen pills.

After completing the panel's requirements, Su Chen began to refine the next round of elixirs.

The next round of refining is Yuanshi Dan!

Unlike other elixirs, Tiandan City's records on the Yuanshi elixir recipe are much more detailed.

Whether in Tiandan City or Shengyuan Kingdom, Yuanshi Dan is an expensive elixir. There are many alchemists who specialize in refining Yuanshi Dan to earn the cost of medicinal materials. This also leads to the refining of Yuanshi Dan. The preparation method has long been popular in the city.

He doesn't need to go to Miao Kuo for advice, he only needs to spend money. The market is full of experience summaries from alchemists.

The method Su Chen took was the same as before, first refining the Pulse Opening Pill to earn fees, and then purchase the Yuanshi Dan prescription.

Half a month later, Su Chen bought a very detailed prescription for Yuanshi Dan.

Learn, learn, keep learning...

After studying for a month, Su Chen initially built a framework in his mind.

The fourth-grade Yuanshi Dan is still very difficult to refine. Not to mention the more than 500 medicinal materials, the steps alone are extremely cumbersome.

The most important thing is that the alchemist is actually required to infuse the power of Yuanli into it.

There is an invisible threshold for refining Yuanshi Dan, that is, an alchemist who is not in the Shi realm cannot refine Yuanshi Dan at all.

Unless there are warriors in the power realm who are willing to contribute their own power to help the alchemist make pills.

But this is rarely done.

Due to many restrictions, Yuanshi Dan is in short supply even in Tiandan City.

Regarding the power of Yuanli, Su Chen didn't have to worry too much. The big mountain standing in front of him was skill and experience.

In the following time, Su Chen has been studying the Yuanshi Dan.

After studying for more than half a year, I still don’t have much clue.

"I finally understand why there are prescriptions for Yuanshi Dan on the market with such detailed notes. The supply of Yuanshi Dan on the market is still in short supply. Refining it is exponentially more difficult than other elixirs!"

After failing for more than half a year, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Fortunately, he had a calm mind and continued to refine it after complaining for a few words.

Thanks to the supply of Pulse Opening Pills, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sustain the consumption for more than half a year.

In the blink of an eye, half the spring and autumn passed.

Unknowingly, Su Chen had been staying in Miao Mansion for almost five years.

Even he himself did not expect that he would spend so long refining elixirs.

But fortunately, good news came soon.

After nearly a year of study and practice, he finally made the first Yuanshi Dan.

"Although there is only one and the quality is average, it is the first step towards success."

However, unlike Zengyuan Dan, after taking this step, there was no explosion of success, but silence.

This made Su Chen realize that his previous success might have been accidental.

He continued to study the alchemy process in depth, detailing each step, and finally refined the second Yuanshi Dan one month later.

There are five in total, ranging from medium to high quality.

This time it was not an accident, but a trick.

After finding the trick, refining Yuanshi Dan became much smoother.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary success.

Because others can only use a few kinds of energy to refine elixirs, but he can use countless kinds.

After consuming this kind, you can use another one, almost endless, there is no need to worry about the power of Yuanli.

This caused his speed of refining Yuanshi Dan to greatly increase.

It only took two days to complete the conditions for the panel and refine one hundred Yuanshi Dan.

"It's the sixth turn, and soon it will be the seventh turn, then the eighth turn, the ninth turn, and if this continues, the future will be promising!"
