Pills symbolized wealth, because ordinary civilians could not enjoy such things as pills at all. Some descendants of wealthy businessmen had been eating pills to strengthen their foundations since they were young, and it could be said that their physical fitness was extremely good.
Jiang Chen didn't need to consume this pill now because his Innate Ability was a hundred times stronger than others. The Book of Changes had directly transformed his body. Moreover, this was only the first chapter. If he could obtain the rest of the chapters, his body would be further enhanced.
Therefore, what Jiang Chen needed was a pill filled with spiritual energy. However, each pill would cost a dozen low grade spirit stones. Moreover, the effect of the pill was ordinary, which was equivalent to absorbing the energy from the spirit stones.
However, absorbing the energy from the spirit stones directly required refining the special energy in the spirit stones. It would take too long. Ten or a hundred was easy, but a thousand or ten thousand would not work.
A high-quality pill was equivalent to the energy of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.
However, pills were expensive. First, it was because of the cost, second, it was because of the failure rate, and third, it was because of the labor costs of the alchemist.
A pill concocted by an alchemist cost a hundred low-grade spirit stones, but if it was sold, after a few procedures, it would cost at least 300 or even 500 low-grade spirit stones.
In that case, he would be at a disadvantage.
"Do it yourself."
Not long after, Jiang Chen decided to learn alchemy on his own. After all, he was a hundred times more talented, so it was impossible for him not to learn alchemy.
With that thought, Jiang Chen immediately began to exchange for alchemy techniques.
"Artifact spirit, 500,000 energy points can be exchanged for those alchemy books?”
Jiang Chen asked.
"Answer host, according to your request, I have recommended a set of intermediate books for you. There are a total of nine books, three of which are the general outline of alchemy, three are the secret alchemy techniques, and three are the alchemy recipes. Although the recipes recorded in the books are of the general type, there are also some precious recipes, and there are many types that are very suitable for alchemists who have just entered the industry. Moreover, it only costs 666,666 energy points, and it also comes with a gift of enlightenment, which can be learned directly. Do you want to exchange?”
It was good to have a weapon spirit, he could draw inferences from one instance. 666,666 points of energy value. To be honest, Jiang Chen could still afford this amount of money. It was just a hundred thousand more than what he had expected, but it was nothing. The most important thing was to enlighten him.
If he could save his time, why not?
After confirming it, a large amount of information instantly appeared in Jiang Chen's mind. This was enlightenment, and it could save Jiang Chen time.
Pill refinement was not as simple as hypnosis. Hypnosis only required a strong mental strength and the learning of some divine power secret techniques.
However, alchemy was different. To become a qualified alchemist, one must have three points.
First, identify the medicinal ingredients.
The second was the pill formula.
The third strongest endurance.
If he didn't even know the ingredients, how could he refine pills? Moreover, one had to be familiar with the pill formula. When to put in what medicinal herbs, how many medicinal herbs to put in. The third point was endurance, because refining pills could not be done by just putting the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace. One had to watch over them at all times.
Of course, it was different if one had a magic treasure pill furnace. A magic treasure pill furnace could refine pills by itself. One only needed to operate it once to perfectly refine pills. However, pill furnaces that could refine pills by themselves were all spirit grade pill furnaces, and their value was immeasurable.
Even the Xiao family might not have a spiritual grade pill furnace.
Of course, some famous universities or sects naturally had such pill furnaces.
There were a total of nine books that Jiang Chen had exchanged for. However, there were ten billion words in each of the nine books. Even if he were to read them, it would take him at least a year and a half to finish reading them. And that was by forcefully memorizing them. He wouldn't be able to recite them back to back.
But now that he had been enlightened, Jiang Chen had saved the average person a decade, or even decades, of hard work in an instant.
But even with so much information, Jiang Chen was only an expert in theory because he had never put it into practice.
However, at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly felt that he was trapped in a dark space. In this space, there were countless medicinal herbs and a pill furnace burning with a raging fire, while he was unconsciously concocting pills.
Every pill was refined hundreds or thousands of times. After refining it, he immediately changed to another pill. This was repeated repeatedly. He refined all 108,000 kinds of pills once and finally came out of this dark space.
However, all of this didn't make Jiang Chen feel uncomfortable. It was as if he had mastered all the refining methods in a blink of an eye. Moreover, all of them were refined by himself. It wasn't the kind of enlightenment that allowed him to master the art of alchemy.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was already considered a qualified alchemist. Whether it was identifying the ingredients or experience, Jiang Chen was already considered a qualified alchemist.
And all of this took less than ten minutes!
If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for them to become an alchemist without thirty to fifty years.
However, Jiang Chen wasn't excited. There were still ninety-nine days until the hundred-day college entrance examination. He couldn't waste any more days. He was under a lot of pressure.
Jiang Chen wanted to return Tai Cang High School's slap. That was all.
" With my current situation, the most suitable thing for me is the Spirit Accumulation Pill. I've only transformed 840 million particle cells, but I haven't even awakened the power of a giant elephant. I'm still a poor student. Only after I truly awaken the seed of a giant elephant can I compete for the top scorer of the college entrance examination in Jiang Zhou Province.”
Jiang Chen thought to himself. He was a meticulous person and knew the current situation.
The Spirit Accumulation Pill was a first grade pill, the most popular pill among the warriors in the secret realm. A low grade Spirit Accumulation Pill contained the Qi of five low grade spirit stones. With the current situation, Jiang Chen could concoct a high grade Spirit Accumulation Pill, or even a supreme grade Spirit Accumulation Pill.
One supreme spirit nurturing pill was equivalent to the spiritual energy contained in fifty low-grade spirit stones.
For Jiang Chen, the effect of the pill was equivalent to a 500-fold increase in his Innate Ability. One Supreme Spiritual Accumulation Pill was equivalent to 25,000 low grade spirit stones.
The price of a Supreme Spiritual Resting Pill was about 100 low-grade spirit stones. Because there were middlemen who made the difference, there were still many wealthy businessmen who were willing to buy it. After all, it took too long to directly refine spirit stones, so pills were an essential thing for martial artists to cultivate.
Jiang Chen didn't waste any more time thinking about this. He headed straight to the Xiao family and asked Desolate Station for help in purchasing some medicinal herbs.
The Xiao family had some alchemists, so they had a special channel for medicinal herbs. Not only were the medicinal herbs of high quality, but the prices were also very fair.
Refining the pill required twenty-six materials. According to the market price, it would cost five hundred low-grade spirit stones. One set of materials could be used to refine ten to twenty pills. Of course, it was also possible to refine a useless pill without any value.
Not long after, Jiang Chen arrived at the Desolate Family. After finding Desolate Station, Jiang Chen explained his purpose of visit. Desolate Station immediately said,"The medicinal ingredients for the Spirit Nurturing Pill? The price of one set is 450 low-grade spirit stones. This is our channel to purchase goods. How many sets do you need?”
Four hundred and fifty pills, fifty pills cheaper. Plus, the ingredients were guaranteed to be of the highest quality, which was already a good profit. Jiang Chen nodded and said,"I want a thousand."
One thousand portions were equivalent to four hundred and fifty thousand low grade spirit stones. Jiang Chen still had three hundred and forty thousand low grade spirit stones on hand, so he was still short of one hundred and ten thousand. He could only ask Desolate Station for help.
"A thousand! If it's done at the last minute, it'll be very troublesome. Can you give me a day to prepare?”Xiao Zhan said.
"Alright, can I get it by this time tomorrow?”Jiang Chen asked.
"Sure." Station Xiao nodded to ensure that there was no problem.
Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude and left the place. He still had to go to the Hypnotist Guild to register his hypnotist rank.
There was no rush to refine pills in one or two days.
