Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

 Chapter 290 After the chaos, the greatest wealth! (asking for monthly ticket)

Danxia Peak, in the Underground Dan Palace.

 The busy scene in the past has stopped now.

 There is only one big alchemy room in operation.

The person who made the alchemy above was not any alchemist from Luo Tianhui, but a strange first-level alchemist named Qi Yi.

 The other party comes from Danyuan Sect!

Besides him, there are a group of spectators carefully observing his alchemy refining.

 Led by the very interested Luo Chen.

 Qu Lingjun, Mi Li, Ma Shoupu and Qiu Ying stood behind with concerned expressions.

There was also a late-stage Qi Refining monk wearing a white robe. He stood beside Luo Chen with a respectful expression and explained carefully.

"Among this generation, Senior Brother Qi and I are the best at alchemy, especially Senior Brother Qi. He is very popular with his master...Dan Yuanzi."

"It doesn't matter. Death is the most important thing. After all, you have the gift of teaching skills, so you don't have to shy away."

Luo Chen waved his hand and said.

Xu Jie's face relaxed slightly, and he continued: "Senior Brother Qi Yi is best at two first-level elixirs, one is the Bigu Pill, and the other is our Danyuan Sect's best-selling Yangyuan Pill."

Luo Chen asked curiously: "Is the Bigu Pill the orthodox first-level Bigu Pill?"

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s not Bigu Powder, but first-order Bigu Pill.” Xu Jie nodded.

Luo Chen rubbed his chin, thinking, and said: "You continue!"

Xu Jie organized his words and continued to speak carefully: "For these two kinds of elixirs, Brother Qi Yi has a 10% and 40% elixir success rate respectively."

“Generally, what he refines most often is Yangyuan Dan, which has been passed down by Master Dan Yuanzi.”

“Even sometimes, middle-grade Yuan Yang Pills can be refined!”

 There is nothing much to say about the 10% chance of Bigu Pill.

The rate of Yangyuan Dan becoming a pill was only 40%, which surprised Luo Chen.

 Based on his systematic classification, this is almost the level that a perfect level of proficiency can achieve.

The only thing missing is that the level of Cheng Dan is not high enough to produce mid-grade Yang Yuan Dan stably.

 “What about you?” Luo Chen asked.

Xu Jie immediately replied: "What I am best at is also Yangyuan Dan. However, because I started too late and my talent is limited, I can only refine low-grade Yuan Yang Dan, and the success rate is only about 30%."

 Thirty percent?

 Luo Chen nodded secretly in his heart, this is not bad.

It's almost a proficiency level, but it just lacks the experience of refining middle-grade elixirs.

“Have you ever calculated how much profit you made by refining elixirs for Danyuan Sect?” Luo Chen asked.

Xu Jie did not hesitate and immediately replied, "Forget it. Taking me as an example, I can create about 1,500 spiritual stones in a month, and about 18,000 in a year."

“Senior brother is more powerful, about 30,000 yuan a year.”

“Of course, these are only the gross profits after deducting the cost of raw materials. We cannot understand the personnel expenses and other expenses.”

 Hear this answer.

Luo Chen couldn’t help but frown.

　　Is it only forty-eight thousand for two people combined?

 Looking at a lot!

  But after deducting various personnel expenses, how much is left in a year?

“Can you tell me what the annual salary was for you and your senior brother?”

 When mentioning this, Xu Jie's chest puffed up a little higher.

He proudly said: "Because we are alchemists, our salary is the same as that of the elders of the ninth level of Qi Refining in our sect!"

“My annual salary is 2,400 yuan, and my senior brother has more, a full 3,000 yuan!”

 Hear this answer.

Before Luo Chen expressed his opinion, the four people behind him couldn't help laughing.

This smile made Xu Jie a little confused.

Luo Chen also chuckled and shook his head, "It seems that fellow Taoist Dan Yuanzi exploited you very much!"

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment.

 He has been refining alchemy and cultivating at home for a long time and rarely goes out.

 Hence he does not understand the major external forces and the salary standards for skilled first-level alchemists.

 “Lingjun, tell me about your income!” Luo Chen said lightly.

Qu Lingjun straightened his back and said with a proud face: "In our Luo Tianhui, the salary given to a first-level alchemist starts at least 300 per month! That's 3,600 per year!"

“For someone like me, it’s 500 yuan a month and 6,000 yuan a year!”

“Besides spiritual stones, the salary also comes with other benefits. Such as free learning of spells, elixirs that can increase the foundation of the soul, and you can also receive personal guidance from my master from time to time!”

“Not only that, we don’t make alchemy alone like you, but we will be assisted by medicine practitioners and fire workers.”

 Xu Jie was stunned for a while after hearing this.

 He had observed the alchemy skills of the four people in front of him before.

To be honest, in his opinion, except for Qu Ling, who all have merits, the others are not so good!

If a first-level alchemist is also like a magic weapon and elixir, it is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

His senior brother is of high grade, and he is also above average.

 As for the four alchemists of Luo Tianhui, three of them are basically just entry level.

 In other words, Qu Lingjun may be at a mid-level level.

Of course, this division is too simple and crude.

 The value an alchemist can create also depends on whether the types of elixirs they can refine are of high value.

But, even so.

 He was also greatly shocked!

 A few newcomers who have only been in the industry for a few years have actually earned more spiritual stones than their senior brothers who have been practicing elixirs for decades!

This is so unreasonable!

Moreover, why!

 Suddenly, he thought of the outside world's evaluation of Luo Chen.

It’s not like those recent ones who are ruthless, retributive, and righteous and keep their promises.

 It is an earlier evaluation.

 Hand temperament, generous to others!

　Now it seems that he is really generous!

“If I learn to make alchemy in Luotian in the future, how much salary can I get per month based on my level?”

 Thinking of the possibility, Xu Jie became a little excited.

 He was limited by too few cultivation resources and had been trapped in the seventh level of Qi refining for so many years.

If you get more than one or two hundred spiritual stones every month, you may have the opportunity to complete the Qi Refining Period in the future.

 And if Dzogchen is achieved, I heard that Luo Chen... President!

 In this regard, he never gets stuck, and often gives strong support to the Qi Refining Perfection monks in foundation building!

Dang!

Just when Xu Jie was in a state of excitement, a slight sound came from the middle of the alchemy room.

 Alchemy is over!

Luo Chen casually removed the soundproof cover.

The conversation between them just now was always under his master-level sound isolation technique, so it did not affect Qi Yi's alchemy.

At this moment, the elixir refining was over, Qi Yi silently collected the elixir in front of everyone.

 Xu Jie stepped forward and said in surprise:

 “I’m lucky, this time it turned out to be thirteen Yuan Yang Pills.”

“Senior brother, your alchemy skills have improved again.”

Qi Yi smiled reluctantly.

Hold the few Yuan Yang Pills and walked to Luo Chen anxiously.

Luo Chen didn't hesitate, he took the pills on the spot and looked at them carefully.

 The lowest quality Yang Yuan Dan!

I have come into contact with it before, and its medicinal power is much higher than that of the middle-grade Chalcedony Pill, but slightly lower than that of the top-grade Chalcedony Pill.

 The price is stable between 90 and 100 all year round.

The reason why there is this range is that it is always a little lower than the low-grade Qi-nourishing pills sold by Lingyao Pavilion.

 Otherwise, there will be no competitiveness.

However, this weak competitiveness has disappeared at all after Luo Tianhui's Chalcedony Pill entered the Tianlan market.

 After looking at it, Luo Chen nodded.

“The medicinal materials are well integrated, the heat is not controlled enough, and the impurities are not removed enough... But the processing of the main materials is quite unique. Is the alchemy you use Pei Yuan Shou?”

Hearing this comment, the taciturn Qi Yi's eyes widened.

 These advantages and disadvantages were all reviewed by his master Dan Yuanzi last year.

 But you must know that his master is proficient in the refining of Yangyuan Pills and can stably produce middle-grade Yangyuan Pills, and even occasionally produce high-grade master-level beings!

Now this Luo Chen just watched him refine the elixir once.

Hand in hand, I took the freshly baked elixir and briefly identified it.

 can give this evaluation.

Qi Yi couldn't help but ask: "Senior, have you ever refined the Yangyuan Pill?" "No."

 “Then why do you understand so well?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said, "One method is universal, and it is only a first-level elixir. I have never refined the Yangyuan Pill, but I can refine other first-level elixirs quite well."

Qi Yi suddenly realized.

If you have refined several first-level elixirs, it seems natural to have this kind of vision?

But he didn't know that he was incredibly proficient in the other first-level pills in Luo Chen's mouth.

 Those can easily refine the best elixirs!

Even chalcedony elixirs with inherent defects can be optimized and improved.

 As far as Luo Chen’s current alchemy skills are concerned.

 Give him an unfamiliar first-level elixir recipe, and he will have the confidence to rely on his own understanding to get started without using the system's achievement points!

It’s just a Yangyuan Pill!

 After Qi Yi made alchemy.

 Next, it’s Xu Jie’s turn.

However, the other party seems to be still immersed in the previous fantasy and expectations, so that he is not focused enough.

 At the end of the training, I failed.

Looking at Xu Jie with a lifeless face and despairing eyes, Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.

“I have seen your level, come out with me!”

The group of people followed Luo Chen out of the alchemy room and came to the main hall of Qu Lingjun.

 Lingjun Hall!

 From the upper position, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

 While he was thinking, the other six people were all speechless and did not dare to breathe.

　　Not only because of Luo Chen's strength, realm, and reputation, but also because the other party has greater achievements in their most proficient alchemy method.

 Second-level alchemists are not based on their level of cultivation.

 It is based on whether the second-level elixir can be refined stably.

They are struggling to refine first-level elixirs now, and they don't even dare to think about how difficult it is to refine second-level elixirs.

 Suddenly.

Luo Chen’s voice rang out in Lingjun Hall.

"From now on, Qi Yi and Xu Jie, you two will be the alchemists of our Luo Tianhui. They belong to the Alchemy Hall and will be commanded and dispatched by the hall leader Qu Lingjun."

 “Do you have any objections?”

 Xu Jie was left without a master due to the failure of elixir refining.

 After hearing this arrangement, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.

 “No objections, everything will be subject to the president’s arrangements!”

Seeing that Qi Yi next to him didn't respond, he quickly pulled the opponent's sleeve.

“Senior brother! What are you doing standing still? Why don’t you quickly thank the president for not killing him!”

Qi Yi opened his mouth, and finally said, "Follow the arrangement."

yes!

 The grace of not killing!

Danyuan Sect has been destroyed, and the remaining low-level monks are running away and scattered.

Perhaps there will be experts in the sect who will gather the remaining soldiers and defeated generals somewhere to revive the sect.

 But it will be impossible to take revenge on Luo Tianhui for at least a hundred years.

 Hundred years?

By then, they would have been a pile of bones!

Now that Luo Chen did not kill them, but instead recruited his disciples, it was considered a gift.

Luo Chen looked at the two of them and continued: "Becoming an alchemist of our Luo Tianhui, your treatment will naturally be different."

“But considering that you are new members of the association, and you are from Danyuan Sect.”

“So in terms of salary, for the time being, it will be paid according to your standards at Danyuan Sect.”

 Hear this.

Xu Jie's excited expression suddenly dropped as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

 Two hundred yuan a month, two thousand four a year?

What kind of way is this to cultivate?

Qi Yi didn't care. He was even surprised that Luo Chen was willing to pay them salaries instead of ruthlessly exploiting them.

 After all, they are considered "captives".

 Just when the two of them were in different moods.

 Luo Chen’s words continued.

“After entering the alchemy hall, you two will still refine the Yangyuan Pill. Don’t touch the rest of the pills.”

“Qi Yi, please take the time to give Qiu Ying the refining skills of Bigu Pill.”

“She is currently practicing Bigu Powder, which is not of the highest grade, and needs your guidance.”

 Have accepted Luo Chen’s arrangement before.

Now these are things that will come naturally.

  Qi Yi has no comments.

Qiu Ying next to her was a little excited. She, as an alchemist, has always had a reputation that is not justified.

If she can truly master the refining method of Bigu Pill, then she will also be a serious alchemist in the future!

"Xu Jie, give the Pei Yuan Shou alchemy technique to Ma Shoupu."

“The efficiency of the Yuan-Puiling Spiritual Liquid he prepared has never been improved. If you learn the Yuan-Puibing Hand, the efficiency will be greatly improved.”

Xu Jie, who was disappointed before, could only let out a dull sigh at this moment.

Looking at the two completely different expressions, Luo Chen smiled.

“Let you teach these two, so it’s not for nothing.”

“In addition to the basic salary, an additional one hundred spiritual stones will be given every month.”

“If you have time, please give some advice to Mi Li and Ling Jun and teach them some alchemy experience.”

"The inspection period will be five years. After five years, if you do well, I will adjust your treatment according to the situation."

 After these words are spoken!

 Xu Jie's gloomy face turned rosy little by little.

Without any hesitation, he immediately shouted, "Thank you, President!"

 In my heart, I even exclaimed.

Luo Chen’s benevolence and righteousness are indeed well-deserved!

Qi Yi was also a little surprised.

 It was not that his salary increased unexpectedly, but that Luo Chen was so willing to support his subordinates.

You should know that over at the Danyuan Sect, their master Dan Yuanzi has always taken the art of alchemy very seriously.

Even the pyrotechnics and medicine men were not equipped with much equipment.

 I am afraid that the knowledge about alchemy will be learned by others.

 Unexpectedly, Luo Chen would actually...

"Oh, right!"

Luo Chen remembered something and said to Qu Lingjun: "Isn't the Alchemy Hall empty of a group of medicine practitioners and pyrotechnics recently?"

Qu Lingjun nodded quickly, "Yes. Master, because you have been refining elixirs at Tianlan Peak, a large number of experienced people have become idle. They are still complaining that they cannot help you refining elixirs, and their income has dropped."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "You divide this batch of people into two batches and give them to Qi Yi and Xu Jie. Let them familiarize themselves with the refining process of Yang Yuan Dan."

 Qu Lingjun hummed.

This is not a big deal, just follow the process.

 Only Qi Yi and Xu Jie were a little excited.

 What alchemist likes to do it himself?

Medicinal ingredients must be prepared and the heat must be controlled at all times. Sometimes people feel uncomfortable and have to insist on finishing a furnace of elixirs before going to rest.

 In the future, they can finally get rid of those tedious things.

Qi Yi also looked at Luo Chen with strange eyes. Compared with their master, this person's temperament was completely different!

 Suddenly, he thought of something.

If it were before, I would have hesitated, but now I said without thinking:

 “Meet…President!”

"Huh?" Luo Chen looked at him, "Is there anything else?"

Qi Yi said: "My junior brother and I have no problem refining the Yangyuan Pill. But the cost of this pill is so high that the price cannot be reduced. Under the impact of your Chalcedony Pill and the Zheng family's Huozhi Pill, there is nothing profit."

 “Do we still need to refining in large quantities?”

Hearing this question, Luo Chen smiled.
