Chapter 478: Chapter 476: Already a Pill Dao Master, and Now the Elixir Recipe is Here?_1
At this point, all Jade Dew Fruits had been harvested, and as they had no further use in hand, Lu Xuan decided to report to the Dan Palace.
He first sent a talisman to Guan Wan at the Dan Palace, then he let Fat Bird carry him to the mountain peak where the Dan Palace was located.
Guan Wan, hearing the news that Jade Dew Fruits were ripe, had been waiting at the entrance of the Dan Palace.
“Sister Guan, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Lu Xuan leapt off Fat Bird’s back and approached Guan Wan who was standing there, gentle as water in her yellow dress.
“Junior Brother Lu, I just came out.”
“The ten Jade Dew Trees you entrusted me to cultivate, have they all fully matured?”
Guan Wan’s eyes were filled with anticipation as she once again confirmed with Lu Xuan.
“I have fulfilled my duty.”
Lu Xuan, with her, entered the main hall of the Dan Palace, giving a faint smile.
“Well done, your level of Spirit Plant cultivation is really amazing, it seems to be almost a month shorter than the normal cultivation period.”
Guan Wan was quite satisfied with Lu Xuan’s answer.
“Perhaps it’s due to the rich and pure spiritual energy in the Inner Sect, I just made a humble contribution, carefully nurturing and caring for those Jade Dew Fruits.”
Lu Xuan said modestly.
He followed Guan Wan into a quiet, elegant room and took out forty-six fresh Jade Dew Fruits, crystal clear as jade, from his storage bag.
“Ten Spirit Plants, yielding forty-six Spirit Fruits, the output is slightly higher than average.”
Guan Wan nodded in approval.
“Ah, there are “Good Quality” Jade Dew Fruits, and not just one.”
She was slightly surprised as she carefully inspected them.
“Six “Good Quality” Spirit Fruits, Junior Brother Lu really is one of the most impressive Spirit Plant Masters in our sect, consistently high yield and high quality.”
Guan Wan sincerely praised after examining all the Jade Dew Fruits.
“Sister Guan, you flatter me.”
“Lu Junior Brother, as per our previous agreement, the reward for each Jade Dew Fruit is five sword marks, “Good Quality” ones get an additional five, and the higher the quality, the higher the reward.”
“The total is two hundred and sixty sword marks, please check if the quantity is correct.”
With a wave of her hand, a pile of sword marks flew to Lu Xuan.
“No problem.”
Lu Xuan scanned them with his spiritual sense and put the sword marks into his bag.
The two hundred and sixty sword marks were nearly enough to exchange for a fourth-grade spirit seed. The reward for acting as a cultivator was quite good.
Of course, if you also take into account the rewards of more than forty light clusters, then he had made a real killing.
“Junior Brother Lu, how much have your Alchemy skills improved after so long?”
Guan Wan asked with curiosity.
“I’ve mastered the Yuan Cultivating Pill and the Spirit Gathering Pill to a reasonable extent, I now have about a fifty percent success rate with both, the Beast Spirit Pill is somewhat lacking, with a success rate of about thirty percent.”
Lu Xuan discounted his actual Alchemy ability slightly in his response.
“Such rapid progress?”
He hadn’t expected that even by hiding at least half of his Alchemy ability, he had still managed to greatly surprise Guan Wan.
“I’ve been staying in the sect this whole time, practicing Alchemy day and night, to get to where I am today.”
Lu Xuan casually made up an excuse.
“Even so, it’s terrifying. Even the core alchemists in the Dan Palace didn’t improve as quickly as you did when they first started practicing Alchemy.”
Guan Wan recalls when Lu Xuan first began Alchemy, and was deeply moved by his immense talent in the Dao of Alchemy.
“Junior Brother Lu, would you like to become a core alchemist in the Dan Palace? As long as you pass the assessment of several alchemists, you can be promoted from an ordinary alchemist to a core alchemist and enjoy more benefits from the Dan Palace.”
“With your current alchemy level, Junior Brother, your chances of success should be quite high.”
“Then I’ll give it a try.”
Lu Xuan is somewhat curious about these so-called Core Alchemists.
Since Spirit Plant cultivation and alchemy are closely related, he doesn’t mind showing some of his real alchemy skills, so he agrees readily.
Hearing this, Guan Wan nods and sends out several communication talismans from the elegant room.
In less than half an hour, five Core Alchemists arrive one after another.
Lu Xuan is led by them into a Pill Room. Under their watchful eyes, he produces three types of elixirs from a furnace.
Although the number of samples is not many, all of these Core Alchemists are keen observers. From every stage of Lu Xuan’s alchemy process, they can see that he is indeed extraordinary.
After the elixirs are completed, they ask Lu Xuan some detailed questions about the alchemy process. If one does not have a deep understanding of the elixir, it would be hard to answer quickly.
Lu Xuan answers each question correctly, not disappointing Guan Wan.
“Congratulations Junior Brother Lu for becoming a Core Alchemist of the Dan Palace!”
After the audit is passed, Guan Wan gives Lu Xuan a token painted with numerous elixir patterns.
“As a Core Alchemist, there are many benefits. You will have priority in using high-grade pill furnaces, pill fires and pill rooms within the Dan Palace.”
“More importantly, you can obtain pill recipes of higher ranks.”
“Our sect has twenty-seven types of third-grade and fourth-grade pill recipes, and three fifth-grade pill recipes.”
“Among them, you can initially choose one third-grade or fourth-grade pill recipe. If you want to obtain more, you have to apply in advance.”
“As for the fifth-grade pill recipes, they are too precious, so they can only be given to sect disciples with the permission of Golden Core Real People from the Dan Palace.”
Guan Wan details the benefits and treatment for Core Alchemists to Lu Xuan.
“I would like Sister to introduce me to the general information of the third-grade and fourth-grade pill recipes of the Dan Palace.”
Although Lu Xuan has basically decided on the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe, he still needs to understand it first.
“Sure.”
Guan Wan immediately agrees and gives him a brief introduction about the numerous pill recipes.
Among these recipes are the Foundation Establishment Pill and Dust Removal Pill recipes that he has already mastered.
“Sister Guan, I would like to choose the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe.”
“Alright, but there’s a requirement. You need to make a Heart Demon oath not to pass the pill recipes to others in any form.”
“It’s only restricted to the pill recipe, not the Foundation Establishment Pill itself?”
Lu Xuan can’t help but ask.
“The Foundation Establishment Pill is hard to define, but even if it leaks, the quantity is extremely limited.”
“After all, the Sect controls the spiritual medicine for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and there are strict limits on the amount of certain specific spiritual medicine that can leak out.”
“In addition, there is the Alchemist’s own skill level.”
“The three-grade Foundation Building Pill is not that easy to refine. Only a few of the most powerful alchemists in the Dan Palace can achieve a not low success rate. Other people don’t even have the ability to make a move if they want to.”
Guan Wan confidently says.
The number of alchemists able to master the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe is already small. These alchemists must hand over the limited quantity of Foundation Establishment Pills they can refine to the Sect, and they have almost no right to freely dispense them.
Therefore, the Sky Sword Sect does not worry about a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills leaking to the outside world.
“Having said that, I have a Pill Formula Experience Package!”
“Bypassing the process of accumulating experience one by one by the Dan Palace alchemists, directly elevating the alchemy level to a high standard.”
Lu Xuan thinks secretly in his heart.
Soon, Guan Wan takes out a jade slip containing the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe. It isn’t until after Lu Xuan makes a Heart Demon oath that she formally hands it to him.
After receiving the Jade Slip, Lu Xuan can’t help but mock himself:
“I’ve become a Pill Dao master, and only now I get the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe?”
