Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 128: Chapter 100: Medium Grade Jade Marrow Pill_4 Luo Chen slapped away the medium-grade elixir and grabbed the old man’s collar.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he shot a fierce glare at him.

When Luo Chen turned around, he found that Elder Sikong Shoujia had anxiously picked up the medium-grade Jade Marrow Pill.

”Hall Master Luo Chen, you’ve truly refined a medium-grade Jade Marrow Pill!”

Luo Chen paid no heed to the medium-grade elixir, he was just staring at Sikong Shoujia.

”Elder, this man who died was called Zuo Xiangyu. You handle his funeral arrangements for me. Also, see if he has any recorded family members in the gang, we must take care of everything properly.”

Elder Sikong Shoujia was stunned.

Didn’t you say before that if someone dies in the Pill Room, it has nothing to do with you?

Now, not only do you want to handle the funeral but also take care of the deceased’s family?

”In addition, the gang needs to use spirit stones to heal Qu Hancheng’s injuries. Not only that, once he recovers, his monthly salary should be increased by two spirit stones.”

”But...”

”There’s no ’but’. If you have doubts, take this medium-grade Jade Marrow Pill to Gang Leader Mi, let him decide!”

”Oh, okay.”

After these matters were taken care of, much of Luo Chen’s anger had dissipated.

However, he still cast a cold gaze over all the medicine disciples and fire workers present.

”I will say it once more. If there’s any sign of danger in the Pill Room, flee immediately.”

”Even if the medium-grade Xuanyun Tripod explodes, I won’t blame you.”

”But if anyone dies in there next time, don’t count on me to care about you.”

”Hmph!”

Damn, a bunch of bastards.

Luo Chen cursed as he entered his stone house, leaving behind a group of startled people.

Youngsters like Tang Quan and Luo Er Duo were in a different mood.

They were not concerned about the deceased Zuo Xiangyu, instead they looked with envy at the seriously injured Qu Hancheng.

This old guy, isn’t this already his second salary raise?

Qu Hancheng laid on the ground, grinning foolishly as if he didn’t care about his injuries at all.

.....

In the stone house, the first-order Water Ripple Array had already been activated.

Everyone had gotten used to the Hall Master frequently activating arrays.

They guessed that Luo Chen didn’t want to be disturbed, so ordinarily, no one dared disturb him.

In the undisturbed room, Luo Chen sat on the soft couch, sighing.

In his hand, there was a whole bottle of medium-grade Jade Marrow Pills.

Half a month ago, he had already raised his proficiency to mastery level, and secretly refined a medium-grade pill.

The reason he did not announce this was to hide his pill refining skills.

After all, frighteningly enough, he was already producing medium-grade pills within such a short period.

However, he did not expect the pill furnace to explode before he could collect the pills today.

One of the fire workers died, while another ended up injured.

”I didn’t kill them, yet they died and were injured because of me!”

This was the main reason for Luo Chen’s sigh.

The pill furnace that exploded was the Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace he had purchased from Lady Xiangxiang for two hundred spirit stones. It was a wide-ranging lower-grade magic tool.

However, it had a clear drawback. It couldn’t be used frequently, needed to be maintained after a certain period of use, and had to be well-preserved normally.

These few days, the manufacturing work in the Pill Hall had never stopped.

When he was cultivating in the spirit vein cave, he often used the pill furnace to brew Nourishing Origin Liquid.

After a while, the ”durability” was fully depleted.

Moreover, due to the negligence of the fire workers at that time, who didn’t control the heat well, this led to the pill furnace exploding.

”Forget it, dwelling on this has no meaning. I must urge the gang to do a better job in the aftermath!”

After all, these people were in his employ.

He had indeed spent a lot of effort on them, teaching them fire control techniques, basics of pill refinement, and even acquiring the Play Flame Technique for them to practice.

It can be said that these were Luo Chen’s initial subordinates.

Having set aside this issue, Luo Chen opened his Attribute Panel and his gaze landed on the realm entry.

[Realm: Qi Refinement Stage Sixth Level: 99/100]

Two whole months have passed!

Under his unscrupulous use of Qi Nurturing Pills, Jade Marrow Pills, Calming Incense, Nourishing Origin Liquid, and the best environment of the Spirit Vein Cave, his cultivation level increased at a rate of nearly two progress bars per day.

If he hadn’t spent a lot of effort on refining the Jade Marrow Elixir and learning the Concealing Breath Mantra midway, he might have already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

But now, it’s not too late.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen suppressed his anticipation and began to read ”Qi Refining Insights” written by Mi Shuhua.

He was waiting for the cultivators in the Pill Hall to leave one by one.

Perhaps it was because of the pill furnace explosion or Luo Chen’s displeasure, or maybe because someone died today that people packed up early at the Pill Hall.

Elder Sikong Shoujia didn’t linger at all and left with the Medium Grade Jade Marrow Pill to look for Gang Leader Mi.

By late night, Luo Chen secretly took another Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace from the Pill Room.

Then, he went all the way down to a hidden spot deep underground.

”Today is the day of breakthrough!”
