Chapter 160: Refining Pill

160 Refining Pill

Alex nodded. He still has 300 spirit stones, he needs to spare some for his personal use. "I want three sets, please."

"Understood. Please wait a bit" She left to get the medicinal herbs.

As she went to bring the herb, He noticed another beautiful girl is haggling over a pill with a middle-aged man. She has long blue hair, slender eyebrows, shapely figure, glossy skin. She can be said on par with Nakagawa Hiina, but that wasn't the thing that caught his eyes. When he looked at her, he can't help but think she and Kens.h.i.+n is similar. Well, she didn't know her, so he can't be rude, saying that your appearance is similar to my brother or something like that.

"One Thousand Spirit Stones, take it or leave it" The middle-aged man said proudly. He can be arrogant since he has a bit of strength to do that. He flaunted his 3 Silver Stars badge on his chest. That's right, he is a Mid 3rd Rank Alchemist.

"This is only a High 2nd Rank, Jade Heart Pill. And it wasn't a perfect purity, and you dare to sell it one thousand Spirit Stones. You are just robbing me."

"I have said, Take it or leave it. I'm afraid that you won't find anyone that has this Jade Heart Pill at the moment." He said, he looked at her breast, he said lecherously. "But, if you are going to spend a night with me, I don't mind to give it to you for free."

Alex facepalmed, he meets again with this kind of person.

"You! I'm an Inner Disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect. Are you going to offend our Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"I'm also a Mid 3rd Rank Alchemist. I'm not sure if they are going to offend someone like me for an Inner Disciple" The middle-aged man said while licking his tongue. He thought inwardly, 'You foolish girl. I'm going to another town tomorrow. So, If I bed you tonight, you won't be able to find me in this city anymore. Even those folks in the sect won't search for me that far for a mere disciple.'

"You!" She gritted her teeth, she wanted to give this pill to her relative to strengthen her foundation. Jade Heart Pill, it will enhance the heart meridian and improve the foundation. It is the peak 2nd Rank Pill.

Alex looked at her without any expression. He wasn't a hero or a friend of justice. Though, he felt sorry for her. But all of it is her decision.

"This is the three set of Fire Spirit Pill ingredients. Do you have any more requests?"

Alex gave 150 spirit stones while pondering. After listening about Jade Heart Pill, he somehow wanted to make Jade Heart Pill for himself to improve his foundation. But, the problem is the cost, the cost must be higher than the Fire Spirit Pill. He will ask it first. "How much for one set of medicinal ingredients for Jade Heart Pill?"

"One set of ingredients is 80 Spirit Stones."

He only has 150 Spirit Stones left after purchasing so he can only buy one set ingredient, which is perfect for him. "I want one."

"Understood" She went to grab the ingredients again.

It seems that the two beside him heard what he said just now. The middle-aged man come toward him. "Hey, Young Man. Are you going to become a hero saving a damsel in distress? Scram!"

"Are you Alchemist?" The blue-haired woman asked.

"I'm neither a hero nor a friend of justice. It is for my own personal use. Why should I waste my money to save a person I didn't know..." Alex said casually.

"Hmph, it's good that you know the limitation." The middle-aged man snorted.

"I will pay you 800 Spirit Stones if you can make Jade Heart Pill with the same quality as him" The Lady said.

"Around 80% purity..." Alex looked at the bluish pill on the middle-aged man pill.

"Young Man, don't be complacent. I'm a Mid 3rd Rank Alchemist, there won't be any pill like this here anymore. All of them were only 70% purity and lower. You are still too green to understand the hardness making a peak 2nd Rank Pill. I made this pill after seven tries." The middle-aged man, looking down on Alex. He was convinced that Alex is too young, even he is an Alchemist, he won't be higher than low 2nd Rank Alchemist. There is no way he can make a Peak 2nd Rank Pill. This is also the reason why the Lady wanted to buy it from him. But he was too shameless.

"Sir, This is the medicinal ingredients you've requested." The receptionist girl came at the right time. Alex handed the eighty Spirit Stones to her.

"Are you going to refine a pill, Sir? Since this is your first time here, there are three types of alchemy rooms. The first one is Low-Grade Alchemy Room, and it cost thirty Spirit Stones a day. The second is Mid-Grade Alchemy Room, and it cost two hundred Spirit Stones a day while the last one is High-Grade Alchemy Room, it cost one thousand Spirit Stones a day."

"So expensive" Alex sighed. He is also wondering where he should make the pill. He can refine them in his room back in Himura House, since it was quite remote, and others won't notice him. But if he refined the pill in the inn, others might feel it. "Can't be helped...I want to rent the Low-Grade one."

He handed another thirty Spirit Stones to the receptionist. After she received the spirit stones, "I will guide you to your room."

Alex nodded, just before he walked. The Lady grabbed his hand, "Wait. If you are going to make the Jade Heart Pill, I will buy it from you."

"Aiya, Are you crazy, don't you hear from this 'Gentleman' here how hard it is to make a Jade Heart Pill. I need to be extremely lucky just to make a Jade Heart Pill. And it was even harder to make a pill with 80% purity. And I only have a set of ingredients with me here." Alex said while releasing the Lady's hand from his own hand.

He finally left. The Lady frowned, even though Alex said it like he wasn't confident. She felt that Alex is unusual, he wasn't someone that is relying on fate.

"Hehe, just a poor bast*rd. Lady, you heard him. How about it? Only one night and you can save one thousand Spirit Stones" The middle-aged man said vulgarly.

"Hmph, I won't buy it from a shameless old man like you!" She is planning to get her teacher come here and teach this Old Bast*rd a lesson, she is a disciple of an Elder, But her master still hasn't come back to the sect, so she can't act recklessly for now. But she decided to wait for Alex first.

"You! You will regret it and begged me to bed you later. At that time, I will make sure to destroy you." The middle-aged man said angrily, and then he walked away.

...

Meanwhile, Alex has arrived in his room. It wasn't a s.p.a.cious room, and It was similar to a 4x5 meter room. But there is a leap in the density of Spiritual Energy, and it seems that they used Spirit Stones to increase the density of Spiritual Energy in this room. That is the reason why it is Expensive.

He took out the Fire Spirit Pill ingredients. Fire Fruit, Fire Gra.s.s Seed, Bay Leaf, Hedine Herb, and Master Stage Monster Core. He wanted to refine the Fire Spirit Pills first. Now, he didn't need to hold back his current Alchemy Skill. Back in the Alchemist Test in Limewatch Town, he needs to refine the ingredients one by one and repeat it to the second and third sets.

This time, He is planning to refine three Fire Fruits at the same time, then move to the second medicinal herbs, the third, and lastly, the Monster Core. It will shorten his time by much.

The flame rose from his Rank 3 Cauldron. He waited for a minute before the Cauldron finally warm enough. He tossed three Fire Fruits inside the cauldron. He burned while pressing the Fire Fruits with his Spiritual Energy. A few droplets drop from the Fire Fruits, it is their essence. After Alex took out the fruit's essence, the fruit swiftly withered. He purges the impurities within the Fruit essence out before he tossed the withered fruit.

He covered the droplets in his flame and waved his hands. Another three ingredients flew toward the cauldron, this time, it is Fire Gra.s.s Seed. Alex melted the gra.s.s and compressed it to a tiny ball.

He went to another ingredient. He skillfully refined each of the medicinal herbs until it is time for the Monster Cores. The refinement wasn't long before he tossed the rest of the ingredients inside the cauldron. He merged all of them into a single big pill before split them into five normal size pills. He still burned it until the pills hardened enough. And Just like that, He has another Five Fire Spirit Pills. This time, he would be the one to use it, not Sherry.

Now that he thinks about it, Feeding Sherry is easy but Expensive. He can just feed her Fire Spirit Pills until she becomes a Grandmaster Stage Beast. Then he will change to another Fire Elemental Pill until she reaches Lord Stage Beast, and so on. But he is also an Array Master that can minimize the cost. For Alex, pills are a low-cost product with high returns. Well, she has swallowed five Fire Spirit Pills at the moment. She needs more time to refine their energy. He will raise his funds in the meantime.

But for now, He still needs to refine the Jade Heart Pill. The difficulty in this pill was on its energy. He needs to a.s.similate three different elements and a.s.similated them together. The three different elements are Gold, Wood, and Water. The gold elemental medicinal herb, Futu Ribwort. Water element Siliweed along with Bollean Wood. The Gold will strengthen the heart, the Wood will enhance the meridian while the Water will improve the blood circulation.

Since the heart is the live for a living human, it has a significant effect in Cultivation Foundation if it enhanced.

Another three medicinal herbs are Solid Gra.s.s, Mian Gra.s.s, and Hofian Tree Seed. There is no monster core as its ingredients. Because, if the monster core added into the ingredients, rather than help to a.s.similate the energy, it will make those three elemental energy go berserk. Why does Alex know about this? It is easy, in the 'Simulation Room', Alex had tried fusing it with Monster Core. But the energy exploded and killed him in the Simulation Room.

He tossed 'Futu Ribwort' into the cauldron. He didn't dare to refine those three elemental ingredients simultaneously. He burned the ingredients. The process is a bit slow since he needs to refine this medicinal ingredient slowly. The same applies to the other after he finished the refinement of 'Futu Ribwort', he processes the 'Siliweed' and 'Bollean Wood'.

But for Solid Gra.s.s, Mian Gra.s.s, and Hofian Tree Seed. He dares to refine them boldly. He easily refined these three medicinal ingredients.

Finally, he tossed all of the ingredients into the cauldron for the last process. He is cautious and slow at this process.

But, he suddenly feels the fluctuation of energy. It came from the ingredients. He knows that it will go berserk. "Sh*t"

He opened his Fire Phoenix Speed and changed his flame to Pure Fire. "Kneel!"

Once Pure Fire out, the rampaging energy slowly got suppressed and become harmonized. "Fuse!"

The ingredients were revolving like crazy. It merges and fuse and finally forming a pill. Alex looked at the Greenish pill inside the cauldron, he sighed. "Only 95% Purity."

The reason is because of the first berserk. It disrupted the flow of energy and made its purity decrease. Alex's success rate when making Jade Heart Pill is 100%. But that was when he used his Pure Fire. His success rate when he didn't use it was rather low. But that was when he was at Qi Manipulation Stage. He thought that he will succeed since he is now a Martial Master. It is unfortunate for him since the end is like this.

He let out a long sighed and sealed his Pure Fire inside the Fire Phoenix Seed again. Alex finally went out of the room.
