My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 315 Calculation
Danbao Pavilion, Zhu Yi Cave.

"You can refine pills?" Zhu Yi stared at Chen Mu in disbelief.

Wasn't he just some slacker who got in through connections?

"I know a little bit," Chen Mu said modestly, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Shocked, right?

I don't want to either.

Who told me to be so diligent and hardworking?

I accidentally leveled up my alchemy experience, haha...

"I see." Zhu Yi thought for a moment, then his face lit up with realization.

He immediately frowned, looking troubled: "The status of an alchemist is not the same as that of an alchemy apprentice."

"The checks at the villa are very strict, so it's not easy to operate there."

What do you mean?
Chen Mu was a little confused.

"Giving you this identity isn't out of the question." Zhu Yi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You'll need to increase your Dao merit!"

"So many Taoist skills!"

"Don't take it to heart, this is mainly to appease Director Sun."

"The Danbao Pavilion in the secluded courtyard is, after all, part of the General Affairs Department."

"To operate under the identity of an alchemist, one must definitely go through the General Affairs Bureau."

"Furthermore, it would be best to have Uncle Liang give our Director Sun some pointers first."

"Only by using both Daoist cultivation and threats can you feel at ease holding onto this alchemist identity." Zhu Yi's face was full of profound meaning.

Chen Mu: “…”

They think I'm some kind of slacker?!
He was so angry he laughed. What kind of twisted logic does this Pavilion Master Zhu have?

I did get into Danbaoge through Liang Yi's manipulation, but I really do know how to refine pills!

Without saying a word, he reached out and brushed his hand over the fang-shaped pendant hanging at his waist.

boom!
The Hunyuan Furnace appeared out of thin air.

Open the lid, add materials, adjust the temperature, pressurize, and integrate everything into one process.

hum!
A quarter of an hour later.

A milky white pill the size of a longan flew to Zhu Yi's front.

"You...you can actually refine pills?!" Zhu Yi was filled with disappointment.

Chen Mu: “…”

You're disappointed for no reason!
They're hoping I'm a fake so they can extort some Taoist merit points, aren't they?
"Ahem! Junior brother can actually refine pills! With junior brother joining us, the strength of our Pill Treasure Pavilion has greatly increased!" Zhu Yi held the round Bigu Pill and quickly put on a smile full of surprise, completely different from before.

Chen Mu was completely stunned.

This Master Zhu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks quite serious and old-fashioned. I never expected this.

"Junior brother only knows how to refine fasting pills?" Zhu Yi asked.

"This one fasting pill alone is already time-consuming and laborious enough; I really don't have the energy to be distracted by anything else," Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

The five types of magical talismans, plus the alchemy technique itself.

This experience will allow him to max out a common secret technique and also get another secret technique to halfway through its mastery!

Besides, even if he wanted to refine other pills, he didn't have any secret methods.

"That's good." Zhu Yi nodded with a smile. "I will finalize the junior brother status as soon as possible."

……

With Zhu Yi's approval, Chen Mu quickly completed the identity change.

Two days later, he received his new identity jade pendant.

It is rectangular, about the size of a palm, with cloud patterns decorating the edges. One side is engraved with landscape, and the other side with text. The surface is also decorated with some silver thread-like star patterns.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the soft couch in the alchemy room.

He unconsciously fiddled with the jade pendant of his identity while silently calculating.

He was calculating when he would be able to accumulate enough Taoist merit and white jade coins.

"Twenty fasting pills can grant one a little bit of Taoist merit."

“Refine 300 pills every day, that’s 15 points of Dao power, and you’ll have 450 points a month.”

"Even if we calculate based on 500 merits, it would only amount to 6,000 a year."

"To reach the most basic level of 100,000 Dao cultivation points, it will take at least sixteen or seventeen years!"

It will take sixteen or seventeen years before I can obtain the Secret Technique of Condensing Apertures?!
He is already twenty-seven, and in sixteen or seventeen years, he will be over forty!

He only obtained the secret method of condensing energy points in his forties?!

This……

That's not impossible either.

Chen Mu suddenly laughed.

One can live for two Jiazi (60 years). With the ability to sense and dispel illusions, and with magical power protecting the body, one can live for at least three Jiazi.

Compared to a total lifespan of 180 years, it is nearly 200 years.

"At over forty, one-fifth of life, just getting started." If we calculate based on a total lifespan of eighty, one-fifth is only sixteen years old.

They're so young!
Let's refine it!

Danbao Pavilion is peaceful; he just stays at home refining pills. He doesn't like to show his face in public anyway.

"Now there's hope! Haha..."

"Of course, it would be even better if I could obtain the Secret Technique of Condensing Apertures as soon as possible." After chuckling for a while, Chen Mu began to ponder.

With the new construction of the villa, there is more than one way to acquire Taoist skills.

Currently, Keelung Road only controls the area around Yuquan Mountain; the five low mountains in the distance have not yet been brought under its control.

It is said that strange beasts lurk there, and evil ways are hidden.

The militant faction in the villa is eager to sweep away the low hills one by one.

If one could take over a mountain and develop it into a production site similar to the Lower Temple, the resulting spiritual merit would be unimaginable.

"It's good, but it's dangerous." Chen Mu thought enviously, but couldn't help shaking his head.

"High returns come with high risks."

Enlightened demons, both large and small, and those practicing unorthodox and evil ways—it's easy to imagine that during the purge, bloodshed and death would be inevitable.

"Go ahead and fight. You guys fight in front, and I'll prepare the pills for you from behind," Chen Mu thought with a chuckle.

……

"If you want to gain more Taoist merit, you still have to think about alchemy."

He hasn't been idle these past two days; he's been collecting data.

"Refining ten pills at a time takes a quarter of an hour; this method is the most efficient."

Even so, at most three hundred pills can be refined per day.

"Moreover, about 20% of the raw materials are lost."

Chen Mu looked at the gray wall.

Alchemy (Bigu Pill): 6625/10000;

Chen Mu chuckled.

"This is the part I'm familiar with."

"Let's get our livers working."

He wasn't in a hurry to refine elixirs and change his cultivation method.

Just like before, refine them one by one to save materials and time, and you can gain experience faster.

Shang Huan regularly delivers daily necessities to him.

Chen Muzhen shut himself away from visitors and devoted himself to alchemy.

……

Twenty days later.

Chen Mu entered the small warehouse.

After paying the monthly quota of 200 jin of the essence of five grains.

He then bought another 8,000 catties of yellow sprout rice and asked Shang Huan and others to help carry it into the alchemy room.

He then closed his doors to visitors again.

Inside the alchemy room, Chen Mu stared at the Bigu Pill experience on the gray wall, which had reached its limit.

His mind was filled with various corresponding alchemy techniques.

"It turns out that the restrictions of hot and cold weather are not immutable."

"It is even possible to indirectly accelerate the alchemy process by adjusting the values, thereby saving materials and speeding up the alchemy process."

But that's not the biggest gain.

"By adjusting the frequency of the Primordial Chaos Force, I can refine eighty-one Bigu Pills in one go within the same quarter of an hour!" Chen Mu was overjoyed.

"If I practice non-stop around the clock, I can make more than two thousand fasting pills a day!"

This……

If you bury yourself in practice for four or five years, you can accumulate enough Taoist skills and white jade coins.

what!
After just a quick calculation, he couldn't resist the urge to start practicing.

It took a lot of effort to suppress the impulse and regain my senses.

"It's still somewhat idealistic."

He now understood that even if he wanted to practice like this, his magical power couldn't keep up.

Even so, the time can still be roughly halved.

Chen Mu opened his arms, lay back, and collapsed onto the soft cushion behind him with a soft thud.

"More than ten years is still a bit long."

"Seven or eight years would be much better."

"If we learn some other pills along the way, such as the Heavenly Demon Rebirth Pill."

"Maybe I can really achieve my wish in four or five years!"
