Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 94: Chapter 90: He Luo Chen, is the Biggest Rat of the Broken Mountain Gang (First Update) _3

Once you are at the Grandmaster level, you can stabilize the success rate at about fifty percent.

As for a hundred percent success rate?

Luo Chen basically didn’t think about it. There has always been a saying among pill refiners that the higher the grade of the elixir, the lower the success rate.

Even that rumored Pill Sovereign of Zhongzhou, who casually refines lower grade pills into Ascendant and Top Grade ones, sometimes fails when it comes to Third or Fourth Order pills.

In Luo Chen’s view, as long as the success rate is more than half, the profits will be extremely terrifying due to the high profits of the elixirs!

Outside, Mi Shuhua, upon detecting a failed batch, unconsciously furrowed his brows.

That meant that the raw materials worth five Spirit Stones just went down the drain.

However, after Luo Chen opened the lid of the Medium Grade Pill Tripod and a fragrance filled the air, his brows completely smoothed out.

Holding a large wooden tray, Luo Chen stepped out of the Pill Room.

”The luck is not bad this time. Thirty pills were refined; most of them are of medium grade, and a few are of lower grade.”

”Not letting you down!”

He casually handed the wooden tray to Mi Li next to him, brushed his hands, looking nonchalant.

The usually pale-faced woman now had a touch of blush on her face.

It’s excitement!

Three Pill Rooms, four batches of raw materials, three batches were successful!

The rate of pill formation even ensured more than half of the medium grade.

What does that represent?

It means that Luo Chen is already a true First Order Pill Refiner, and one of the best among them, he can be described as an elite!

If Luo Chen can guarantee every pill is medium grade and occasionally produce an ascendant grade, he can be called a Grandmaster of Pill Refinement for this particular elixir!

Of course, Immortal Cultivation World never has such detailed divisions.

The so-called Pill Refinement Grandmaster is at least someone who can refine Third Order Pills.

No one would measure one’s level of skill based on their achievement in a certain elixir.

Seeing his granddaughter’s excited look, Mi Shuhua knew that Luo Chen’s pill refinement skills had already won her over.

As for himself, he was calculating the profit inside.

Thirty Allure Pills, how many Spirit Stones they can sell for!

”Luo Chen, you did very well!”

Luo Chen shrugged off his praise, ”Today is a good start, but it doesn’t mean that luck will always be this good in the future.”

”Haha, I believe in you the most.”

”By the way, I still need some more helpers. Send me a few more middle-stage cultivators,” Luo Chen said.

”You need more?” Mi Shuhua was surprised.

Luo Chen pointed at the pills in the tray, ”After the pills are formed, there is a period of medicinal effect sedimentation, which is quite important. The effectiveness of elixir could be reduced due to the external environment. There need to be people watching at all times.”

From the side, Mi Li concurred, ”That’s how it is, grandpa. It mentions similar detailed issues in the Qing Yuan Pill Explanation.”

Upon understanding, Mi Shuhua readily agreed.

Immediately he instructed Gu Caiyi to bring a few more cultivators from the Medicine Hall.

”All right, dismiss!”

Luo Chen yawned, ”I’ve been busy all morning, I’m going to take a nap. Bring my lunch to my doorstep later.”

Seeing his weary look, Mi Shuhua couldn’t help but ask, ”Aren’t you going to continue refining?”

Luo Chen looked back at him, ”Gang Leader, I am a human, not a puppet. I get tired. I don’t even have any spirit consciousness right now, can I keep an eye on three Pill Rooms at the same time, do you think I can hold on?”

”Moreover, don’t they need a rest?”

Following Luo Chen’s pointing finger, Mi Shuhua realized that those cultivators responsible for watching the fire also had worn-out looks on their faces.

Even a few older female cultivators were blushing with perspiration.”

”Moreover, the Pill Furnaces can’t keep up either!” Luo Chen smirked, ”Two lower-grade magic tools and one medium-grade pill tripod can’t support constant pill refinement. Unless you get me a magic tool pill furnace, or a top-grade pill furnace.”

Mi Shuhua gave a bitter smile, ”Then you guys should rest!”

Are you kidding me, a magic tool pill furnace?

He doesn’t even have his own natal magic tool yet.

The most handy of his top-grade magic tools, the Purple River Taoist Robe, was destroyed by Qin Liangchen on the Dao Debate Platform.

...

It was only when Luo Chen went out to get his lunch that he learned that Mi Shuhua had left Crescent Valley.

Good riddance. With him around, I always felt restricted.

Luo Chen glanced at his lunch, revealing a grin.

”Hey, the food is pretty good. It’s all made of Spirit Rice and Spirit Vegetables. Even the meat is from a First Order Demonic Beast.”

The treatment provided by the Broken Mountain Gang was truly top-notch!

It was even better than what the other hall masters received.

After all, Luo Chen was their future cash cow, so they had to take good care of him.

He dumped all the food into a large bowl, instantly turning it into a bowl of mixed rice!

Luo Chen took out the green gourd from his storage bag and hung it around his waist.

Then he strolled around the Pill Hall while eating, checking to see if there was anything missing in his territory.

After looking around for a while, he had a clear idea in mind, and then casually left the Pill Hall while continuing to eat his lunch.

Following the gravel path paved with mining waste, he slowly arrived at the center of Crescent Valley.

A few giant stone houses were neatly built under the mountain cliff in the valley.

These were the offices of the Medicine Hall.

At noon, there were relatively fewer people. But you could still see a few cultivators were busy turning over the medicinal herbs to expose them to the sun.

When he found Murong Qinglian, she was busy jotting something down.

”Sister-in-law, are you busy?”

Murong Qinglian lifted her head and gave him a look, very annoyed.

”You have the nerve to come here.”

”What’s wrong?” Luo Chen put down his chopsticks, looking perplexed.

Murong Qinglian sighed helplessly, ”Just look, in the past few days, you pill refiners have poached so many people from our Medicine Hall. Now we are short-handed.”

What? There was such a thing?

Luo Chen did not expect this.

But from Murong Qinglian’s expression, she seemingly wasn’t truly mad at him.

”I am busy selecting suitable cultivators from the external members of the gang. These are their profiles. I have to select someone with a relatively clean background.”

Murong Qinglian pointed at the bamboo slips and books on the table.

I see, they’re resumes!

”Although the work at the Medicine Hall is tedious, it’s safe. So, there are still many cultivators in the gang who want to work here.”

Murong Qinglian explained.

While speaking, she unintentionally glanced at Luo Chen’s bowl of mixed rice.

”Wow, your food allowance is pretty good. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were eating Spirit Stones!”

”Of course, as the cash cow of the Broken Mountain Gang, who else could they give the best treatment to if not me!”

Luo Chen cockily placed his hand on his hip.

It must be said that when he decided to join the Broken Mountain Gang and become the head of the Pill Hall,

at first, he felt somewhat wronged. But after truly reaping the various benefits, he felt that this decision was the most correct one!

He had nothing to worry about, food and drink-wise. He had bodyguards for commuting to and from work.

He didn’t have to go out to purchase raw materials or process them himself.

Once he trained those medicine disciples and fire workers, his pill refinement would become even easier.

And the salary of four Qi Nurturing Pills a month, that was almost too good to be true.

”But it’s still not enough!”

Greedy Luo Chen would not be satisfied just like that.

The Broken Mountain Gang was wealthy and Mi Shuhua, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was even richer.

He had to think of a way to fleece some of their wealth!

”How should I fleece them?”

Greedy rat Luo Chen began pondering and started scheming his new plot.
