Chapter 100 Alchemy Mission
More than 10,000 years have passed, and the recipes of the pills are also changing. 10,000 years is enough to evolve countless recipes, and these recipes are all things Qin Feng has never come into contact with before.
With Qin Feng's knowledge of spiritual medicine, it is impossible to master all the recipes in a short time. Since there are ready-made recipes, it is naturally the best.
It is not difficult to modify a recipe, but to create a new recipe out of nothing, even Qin Feng finds it a bit tricky.
Yang Xi's purpose of joining the Alchemy Guild is the same as Qin Feng's, both to make money, but one is to make money to eat and the other is to make money to practice.
Although Yang Xi's alchemy skills are good, even better than many alchemists in the Alchemy Guild, but without the identity certificate of the Alchemy Guild, no one will come to her to make pills, even if she keeps the price of the pills very low.
In this world, warriors have all identified the Alchemy Guild, and those wild alchemists basically have no market.
When I came to the Alchemy Guild again, it was still crowded. The demand for elixirs by warriors is endless. No matter how many elixirs the Alchemy Guild refines, they will be snapped up by hungry warriors.
Although big forces like Qianjin Pavilion will train their own alchemists, they are far from comparable to the Alchemy Guild in terms of scale and quality.
Even sects like Lingdan Sect, which make a living by refining elixirs, are as small as ants in front of the Alchemy Guild. There is even a legend that the founder of Lingdan Sect is a member of the Alchemy Guild, and Lingdan Sect is equivalent to a branch of the Alchemy Guild.
On a huge metal plate, some information is scrolling back and forth. These are all tasks issued by the Alchemy Guild. Not only are there warriors entrusting the Alchemy Guild to refine elixirs, but there are also tasks issued by the alchemists of the Alchemy Guild to find a certain spiritual medicine.
Alchemists and warriors are closely united because of the Alchemy Guild, each taking what they need. Of course, this relationship is still dominated by alchemists.
"I want to take the task!" Qin Feng put his alchemist certificate on the counter.
"Okay, you are a one-star alchemist, you can take and issue one-star tasks. I have listed the one-star tasks, please choose freely." The girl on the counter immediately sorted out the one-star alchemy tasks.
Qin Feng looked at these alchemy tasks with a wry smile. One-star tasks are the lowest-level tasks in the Alchemy Guild. The elixir refined is at most a first-grade elixir. It is simply a waste of talent to let Qin Feng refine such elixir now.
However, Qin Feng has no way at all. The Alchemy Guild has a strict hierarchy. You can only take tasks of the same level as your alchemist level. If you want to take tasks above your level, sorry, it is impossible.
The Alchemist Guild divides the level of alchemists into one star to nine stars, with one star being the lowest and nine stars being the highest.
If you want to improve your level as an alchemist, you can only take tasks continuously. Every time you complete a task, you will get corresponding merits. When you have enough merits, you can pass the assessment and improve your level as an alchemist.
In addition to completing various tasks issued by the Alchemy Guild, there is another way to quickly improve your merits, that is, to create a new recipe. After being verified by many alchemists in the Alchemy Guild, you can get a lot of merits.
But creating a new recipe is not that simple. There are only a handful of people in the entire Tiannan Empire who have gained merits by creating recipes.
"It takes 100 merits for a one-star alchemist to be promoted to a two-star alchemist. One merit can only be obtained after completing a one-star task. Does that mean I have to take 100 tasks?" Qin Feng's eyes quickly swept across the metal plate, and his fingers tapped continuously. In just a dozen breaths, he took 100 tasks.
The girl on the counter's eyelids jumped. She naturally recognized Qin Feng. He just passed the alchemist assessment yesterday. I didn't expect him to take tasks today, and he took 100 tasks in one go. Isn't it a bit too arrogant?
Yang Xi also followed suit, took 100 tasks, and plunged into the alchemy room.
Completing a task not only earns merit but also a good reward. For Yang Xi, who is in urgent need of making money to eat, the more such tasks the better.
The first-grade elixir is basically not difficult for Qin Feng and Yang Xi. Qin Feng can complete it with his eyes closed.
"Gathering Qi Pill, a first-grade intermediate elixir, can greatly increase the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after taking it." Qin Feng looked at the recipe at hand.
This first-grade elixir is the most common elixir. There is no secret about the recipe. As long as you become an alchemist in the Alchemy Guild, you will automatically obtain the right to the first-grade recipe.
However, it is limited to the first-grade recipe. If you want to get the second-grade recipe, you must buy it with merit points. In the Alchemy Guild, merit is a currency more valuable than real gold and silver. If you want to get more recipes, you can only buy it with merit.
"This recipe is really rough." Qin Feng sighed.
This intermediate-grade gathering Qi pill has a history of thousands of years. After being improved by hundreds of alchemists, it has been considered perfect.
However, in Qin Feng's eyes, such a pill formula was full of flaws and crude, and dozens of improvement plans instantly appeared in his mind.
The first-grade pill is the most basic pill, and there are very few alchemists who are willing to spend time to improve the pill formula!
Each alchemist in the alchemy guild has an independent alchemy room. In this alchemy room, Qin Feng does not need to worry about anything. The strong true essence controls the 100 medicinal materials, and the proportion of each medicinal material is exactly the same.
If the door of the alchemy room is open at this moment, I am afraid that 99% of people will be scared to death by the scene in the alchemy room.
There are 100 fireballs floating in the alchemy room, and these 100 fireballs are wrapped with medicinal materials for Qi Gathering Pills. Qin Feng's ten fingers are constantly pinching the magic formula to control the temperature of the fireballs.
Qin Feng actually left the alchemy furnace and used his true essence and soul to make pills.
Although warriors who have awakened the fire soul do have unparalleled advantages in alchemy, they are not as exaggerated as Qin Feng.
Without the alchemy furnace, refining 100 medicinal materials in one breath, even the strongest alchemist in the Tiannan Empire Alchemy Guild does not dare to do this.
Not to mention anything else, just the consumption of true essence and soul power is not something that ordinary true essence realm warriors can bear.
In just a cup of tea, 100 Qi Gathering Pills were refined. Except for two that were wasted, the rest were all successful.
Five materials were prepared for each Qi Gathering Pill, a total of 500. Qin Feng only spent more than an hour to use up all the 500 medicinal materials.
Although 50 were wasted, 450 were refined. Such a high success rate is simply not enough for other alchemists to survive.
Although Qi Gathering Pills are ordinary, it is precisely because of their simple refining and good effects that almost all warriors will use Qi Gathering Pills to assist their own cultivation, so the consumption is also extremely large.
After staying in the alchemy room for an afternoon and recovering all the lost true essence and soul power, Qin Feng left the alchemy room and placed all the Qi Gathering Pills on the counter.
The girl at the counter almost popped her eyes out. It was only an afternoon. How could she refine so many Qi-gathering pills?
After checking these Qi-gathering pills, they found that they were of excellent quality. Qin Feng not only completed the 100 tasks he had accepted, but also exceeded the quota. The extra 350 Qi-gathering pills were converted into 350 merit points, which far exceeded the merit points required for a second-grade alchemist.
"Hello, do you need to take the assessment for a two-star alchemist?" the girl asked.
"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded.
Use the shortest time to improve your alchemist level, then take on high-level tasks, make yourself famous, and then use your alchemy skills to earn various spiritual medicines to assist your cultivation.
"The assessment for a two-star alchemist requires refining a second-grade pill. If you don't have a second-grade pill recipe, you can exchange it with merit points." The girl said.
"No, I have it myself!" Qin Feng refused directly.
"Okay, I will prepare the assessment for you right away. Your assessment will be conducted in an hour. The assessor is the three-star alchemist Master Gu Tong!" the girl said.
When Gu Tong received the news that he would be the examiner, he frowned slightly. He really didn't want to waste time examining those useless people!
Although the Alchemy Guild would also reward some merits, as a third-grade alchemist, how could he care about those merits? He just took a random task.
Qin Feng thought about it in his mind. He had mastered so many second-grade pill recipes, so he chose a recipe with common materials.
"Alchemist Qin Feng, please go to the 130th Alchemy Room to accept the assessment!"
"What a young boy!" Gu Tong was stunned when he saw Qin Feng coming in. He was too young, so young that he didn't look like an alchemist at all.
"What kind of pill do you want to refine?" But Gu Tong didn't waste any words and asked directly.
"Tiger and Leopard Pill!" Qin Feng said.
"Oh, the second-grade lower-level pill Tiger and Leopard Pill!" Gu Tong nodded.
Tiger and Leopard Pill is the easiest to refine among the second-grade pills, and it is the entry-level pill of the second-grade pill.
Qin Feng's choice of this kind of elixir as his own test elixir is undoubtedly the best choice. Gu Tong also put away his original casual attitude. It seems that this kid is not just going through the motions.
As a three-star alchemist, Gu Tong has tested at least eight hundred alchemists. Many one-star alchemists deliberately refine those extremely difficult second-grade elixirs in order to show their abilities.
Gu Tong sneered at this. The rules of the test only allow you to refine second-grade elixirs. You just refine simple second-grade elixirs honestly. But you insist on refining those extremely difficult ones. Isn't this looking for trouble?
The test of a two-star alchemist requires self-prepared spiritual medicine, and each spiritual medicine must be checked by the examiner. Only after confirming that there is no problem can you start refining the elixir.
When Qin Feng started to refine the elixir, the good impression that Gu Tong had just formed was gone, and his eyebrows were raised!
