Chapter 63: I am still a genius

Another peaceful night.

No ghosts appeared, no skeleton soldiers.

During the day, many experts went to investigate the mass grave but found nothing unusual.

Even cleaner than before.

There were no corpses or dry bones, not even the eerie atmosphere. It was as if this place had never been filled with corpses or mass burials, and was no different from the surrounding areas.

The Yin-Yang Gate is closed?
But the ghost fog at night never disappeared!
What's going on?
no one knows.

……

After lunch the next day, Wang Yuan came to Tianshu Hall.

Chen Wenjin took him into a room.

There contained all the medicinal materials needed to refine the Shengsheng Pill, including Yuanling Stone, charcoal, water, clay pots, jade bottles, preparation tools, and a small cauldron.

This small tripod furnace is the most precious because it is a spiritual weapon.

Although it is the most basic one, it is worth at least hundreds of spirit stones.

"Just concentrate on refining here. Call me if you need anything. Don't feel stressed. It's great if you can make one furnace out of ten sets of herbs. Even if you can't make one furnace, it doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future."

Chen Wenjin said, and then walked out.

The reason she didn't stay here was not because of confidentiality, but because Wang Yuan was a newbie and was already under pressure. If someone was watching him, the pressure would only be greater.

and so……

"Ah."

Wang Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

He has mastered the basic alchemy technique (345/1000), not a novice.

Of course, he still enjoyed Chen Wenjin's understanding.

Throw away all distracting thoughts and start refining the elixir.

First, simply prepare the ten sets of medicinal materials and place them in different places. Then, light the Yuanling Fire, put the cauldron on to preheat it, and then add the medicinal materials...

Alchemy requires three steps: quenching, fusion, and nourishment.

Refining means purifying the medicinal materials, retaining the useful parts and removing impurities and useless substances;
Fusion, to merge all medicinal powers into one;

Nourish it and bake it slowly with spiritual fire to make its medicinal properties stronger and its spiritual power stronger.

Finally, just open the furnace and produce the elixir.

Wang Yuan has mastered the art of alchemy, and the system has added hundreds and thousands of times of experience to his skills, so there are no obstacles and everything goes very smoothly.

The first batch of refining was successful, and seven pills were obtained.

"The potency of the medicine is 92%. Hmm, not bad."

Wang Yuan held a crystal pill between two fingers and nodded with satisfaction.

Pills are also divided into grades. Usually, 70% of the effective medicinal power is considered qualified, 80% is good, 90% is excellent, and 95% or above is top grade.

A true master alchemist is one who can frequently produce high-quality pills. The price of high-quality pills is at least three times that of ordinary qualified pills, while top-quality pills are almost impossible to come by and are usually kept by the alchemists themselves.

Medications with a strength of more than 50% but less than 70% are considered defective products, and those with a strength of less than 50% are considered waste. Not only are they ineffective, they are also likely to be toxic and have a counterproductive effect.

Wang Yuan produced two high-quality pills in his first furnace. If this news were to get out, it would be considered absurd and shocking.

Putting away the pills, Wang Yuan started the second furnace.

failure!

"~~"

The veins on Wang Yuan's forehead twitched violently, and he wanted to slap himself twice. Then he focused his mind and refined it seriously.

The third furnace was successful and produced six pills, one of which was a high-quality pill.

The fourth furnace was successful, producing seven pills, two of which were high-quality.

The fifth furnace was successful and produced six pills, one of which was a high-quality pill.

The sixth furnace was successful, and six pills were obtained, two of which were high-quality pills.

The seventh furnace failed and two pills were wasted.

The eighth furnace was successful, yielding six pills, two of which were high-quality.

The ninth furnace was successful, producing seven pills, two of which were high-quality.

The tenth furnace was successful, and seven pills were obtained, three of which were high-quality pills.

Wang Yuan succeeded in eight out of ten furnaces and obtained 54 pills, including 2 waste pills and 15 high-quality ones.

It is definitely a very outstanding and exaggerated result.

Later, the quality of the high-quality pills gradually improved. In addition to the fact that he had become familiar with it, the other reason was that he wanted to give two pills to Chen Wenjin.

If the quality is too high, it will appear too special and too outstanding.

Therefore, he deliberately controlled the process and used centrifugal method (rotation) to polarize the liquid medicine, and finally obtained two kinds of quality pills. One of them failed.

The last furnace produced three high-quality pills, one of which had a medicinal power of an astonishing 94%, which was very close to the best quality.

Of course, the worst pill is only 81% effective.

"Two useless pills and two 80% good quality pills, you can hand them over."

Wang Yuan happily got up and tidied up the house.

The pills are packed in four bottles, and two used pills are packed in an ordinary small porcelain bottle.

Give Chen Wenjing two high-quality pills and put them in a jade bottle.

Fifteen high-quality coins are placed in a jade bottle.

The remaining high-quality pills are placed in a jade bottle...

But thirty-five pieces were a bit too many and could not be contained in a jade bottle.

Therefore, Wang Yuan could only put the three extra coins back into the jade bottle given to Chen Wenjin.

As an alchemy genius, it is reasonable that he succeeded in two out of ten batches of alchemy in his first attempt, so he produced seven pills, right?
"Click——"

Wang Yuan opened the door and went out, his face looking somewhat dejected, but he was still holding on stubbornly.

"Failed? It's okay, I'll try again next time."

Chen Wenjin was standing far away. When she saw the door open, she quickly walked over to comfort him.

"Failed? How is that possible?"

Wang Yuan looked up and handed the two bottles in his hand to Chen Wenjin.

"!!"

Chen Wenjin opened it with some suspicion and was stunned.

"Is it really done?"

She quickly poured out the pills and counted them carefully in her hand.

"Five! You succeeded in refining five pills on your first try. This... you are too amazing. You are an alchemy genius!"

Chen Wenjin couldn't believe it and looked up excitedly.

But she knew that Wang Yuan had just learned alchemy three days ago, and a normal person might not even understand 30% of it.

Now he can refine five pills with ten sets of medicinal materials, and the quality seems to be quite good. This is amazing.

She quickly packed up the medicine and opened the porcelain bottle, revealing two wasted pills.

A total of seven pills were produced from the ten sets of medicinal materials, which means that at least two furnaces were made.

After three days of learning to make pills, the success rate is 20%...

Although Chen Wenjin doesn't know how to make pills, the Chen family business is related to medicine, so she knows something about pills and alchemists.

Usually, if three furnaces can make one, and each furnace can produce three pills, one would be considered a qualified alchemist. And if two furnaces can make one, one would be considered quite powerful, outstanding and famous.

And Wang Yuan...

"Genius! Wang Yuan, you are truly an alchemy genius!"

Chen Wenjin looked at Wang Yuan with shining eyes. The more she looked, the more she liked him. She wanted to reach out and hug his head and kiss it hard twice.

She had already expected to lose money if she failed and be laughed at by her sharp-tongued uncle at home, and she might have to continue to lose money and be laughed at in the future - but this was necessary for training an alchemist.

However, Wang Yuan succeeded and produced five pills.

Excluding the cauldron, she could make a small profit of at least double.

"By the way, did you give them all to me and not keep any for yourself?"

Chen Wenjin suddenly came to her senses and asked suspiciously
"No, I kept it, you see."

Wang Yuan took out two jade bottles from his arms and showed them to Chen Wenjin.

"~~"

Chen Wenjin didn't believe it at all.

It was already a rare achievement to produce five pills for the first time of refining pills, how could there be more?
Both bottles must be empty.

Absolutely!

However, she knew that the young man was proud and valued his reputation, so she couldn't expose him and just believed it.

With such talent, his success rate in making pills will certainly get higher and higher, and he will soon be able to survive.

"Okay, okay, I believe it."

Chen Wenjin took off a brocade bag from her waist and handed it to Wang Yuan.

"This is a storage bag. Inside is the barbecue I promised you, three Yuanling stones, fifty taels of gold, two hundred taels of silver, and two sets of clothes..."
