I can gather experience beads

The reason why Cao Rui can have such a high income is due to Sun Ming's concessions, but more importantly, it is based on the premise that Cao Rui's Huanglong Pill has a high yield and high quality.

If you change to another alchemist, there is a loss rate after failure, and the quality of the pills is not that high. The repurchase price given by Danlingbao Pavilion is at most ten spirit stones or even lower.

Naturally, his income was a world apart from that of Cao Rui.

For Sun Ming, besides making money, his main task is to maintain the image that the elixirs produced by Danlingbao Pavilion must be high-quality.

Sun Ming would rather earn less money to buy back Cao Rui's high-quality Huanglong Pills than to buy back the inferior Huanglong Pills made by low-level alchemists.

Cao Rui's income has also been arranged.

On the one hand, it is used to purchase spiritual medicines for the new pill formula experiment. After the pill formula experiment is completed, Cao Rui will exchange all the spirit stones for the spiritual medicine materials of the new pill, and refine the new spiritual medicine to quickly improve his strength.

More than ten thousand spirit stones a month.

This is just the income from five hours of work. Cao Rui's income is already exaggerated.

Not many alchemists can earn more than Cao Rui.

Even those alchemists in the foundation-building stage.

Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Yunzhou immortal cultivation world is exhausted, there are few high-level cultivators, and most of the cultivators are concentrated in the Qi Refining Stage. The most consumed are elixirs such as Lingyuan Pills and Huanglong Pills.

Assuming that Cao Rui was refining elixirs for use during the Foundation Establishment Period, then the market was not large enough and he would not be able to make a profit no matter how many elixirs he refined.

Not to mention the elixirs for cultivation during the foundation-building period. The spiritual medicines are even more expensive and more difficult to collect.

"Okay." Cao Rui nodded and agreed to the distribution plan.

Sun Ming smiled happily: "Then it's settled."

"Lao Cao, starting tomorrow, I will deliver the materials for the Yellow Dragon Pill to your house."

"No problem." Cao Rui nodded in agreement.

Cao Rui now lives in the attic stronghold of the former Yunshui Sect. This place is located in the center of the market town and has a connection point with the spirit gathering array. The training room is filled with spiritual energy.

Of course, the previous attic had been destroyed by Cao Rui's spirit beast Black Feather.

The current building has been converted into a seven-story training tower, and Cao Rui usually practices on the seventh floor of the tower.

So, Cao Rui said goodbye to Sun Ming and returned to his own training tower.

When Cao Rui returned to the seventh floor of the training tower, there was already a figure there.

The seventh floor of the training tower. Normally, only two people in the entire market are qualified to enter this place.

One of them was Cao Rui himself, and the other was the foundation-building elder Ye Yunyin.

This elder who is in charge of the spiritual mine affairs would choose to practice in seclusion in the training tower here most of the time unless there is something important to do.

As for the spiritual mine, there is nothing to supervise during the mining process.

As long as the monthly output quantity is in line with expectations, Ye Yunyin only needs to go there in person once a month to collect the mined spirit stones.

Apart from this, there is nothing else about the Lingshi Mine that is worthy of others' covetousness.

After all, the spirit stone mine itself is just a large piece of ore, which requires the monks to spend time and energy to dig before it can be finally transformed into real spirit stones.

The spirit stone mine is so large that no one can move it away casually.

After Ye Yunyin nodded slightly to Cao Rui, he continued to close his eyes and rest, concentrating on cultivating his magic power.

He was at the critical moment of breaking through the fourth level of the foundation-building period. He seemed to have hit a bottleneck and was seizing the time every day to comprehend it.

Cao Rui took out the ancient elixir recipe and continued to study it carefully, looking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

The first-level elixir for cultivation on this ancient elixir recipe is called Snow Lotus Pill.

The main elixir used to refine the Snow Spirit Pill is the thousand-year-old Ice Heart Snow Lotus.

The magical medicine Ice Heart Snow Lotus is extremely rare in Yunzhou and is close to extinction. Therefore, the first step Cao Rui took to modify this ancient pill recipe was to find a substitute for the Ice Heart Snow Lotus.

After reading the recipe of Snow Lotus Pill, Cao Rui made an extremely bold but well-reasoned decision based on his rich knowledge of elixirs and in-depth understanding of the properties of herbs - to change the name of "Snow Lotus Pill" to "Fire Lotus Pill"!

In the southwestern part of Yunzhou, there is an extremely special and precious elixir with fire attribute, its name is - Lava Red Lotus.

The Lava Red Lotus is the main substitute Cao Rui chose to replace the Ice Heart Snow Lotus!

This unique elixir will only grow naturally in an extremely hot crater, absorbing the powerful and hot energy within the crater.

Although there are not many Tianshan Mountains where snow lotus grows in Yunzhou, there are many active volcanoes.

This has led to the Yunzhou cultivation community having a high level of understanding of the Lava Red Lotus, and they have long since accumulated rich experience and knowledge in growing it.

A thousand-year-old molten red lotus can successfully grow in just over a decade if the monks skillfully use magic to stimulate it.

In addition, the cultivators' spiritual medicine gardens adopt large-scale planting methods, so the market price of the Millennium Lava Red Lotus is not too outrageous.

Next, Cao Rui replaced the other auxiliary medicines in the recipe one by one and chose some elixirs that were more common in Yunzhou.

Although these elixirs are different from those in the original recipe, they can still produce similar medicinal effects through clever combinations and adjustments.

At this point, shortly after the auction ended, Cao Rui successfully developed a new pill formula in a short period of time - the "Fire Lotus Pill".

Compared with the original Snow Lotus Pill, this new pill recipe can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

It not only changed the main medicine, but also changed the types of most auxiliary medicines. The most important thing is that the properties of the entire pill formula were completely tampered with.

Such a change is undoubtedly very bold.

However, Cao Rui's changes were not made out of thin air, but were based on his experience absorbing from the experience beads, and his deep understanding and unique insights into the properties of spiritual medicines.

Cao Rui has now mastered all the 0-level pill recipes in the Alchemy Institute's storehouse and has practiced them to perfection. The knowledge of spiritual medicines he has acquired is extremely exaggerated.

He has a lot of alchemy experience and knowledge to support his mind.

Hence this bold transformation.

According to Cao Rui's estimation, there is about a 70% to 80% chance of successfully refining the Fire Lotus Pill in the new recipe.

Of course, the actual situation may be affected by various factors, and it is necessary to constantly change the scale and conduct experiments, which is time-consuming.

However, Cao Rui is only 26 years old this year, and he has plenty of time to waste.

Cao Rui calculated that if he developed the elixir according to his own plan, if it was successful, the cost of one portion of the elixir could be controlled at about twenty spirit stones.

Relying on the Fire Lotus Pill to break through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, the amount of spirit stones consumed was still within Cao Rui's tolerance.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

The inner disciple who was on guard in the training tower sent a message that Sun Ming, the manager of Danlingbao Pavilion, was looking for him.

"Has the elixir finally arrived?"

Cao Rui came to the hall on the first floor of the training tower and met Sun Ming.

"Lao Cao, I have collected all the spiritual medicines you requested, a total of thirty portions, six hundred spiritual stones, I will put it on your account first."

Cao Rui is now in the experimental stage, and the spiritual medicine will probably be replaced frequently, so thirty sets of spiritual medicine materials are enough.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Cao Rui took the storage bag containing the elixir.

"Old Cao, I wish you success in developing the new elixir formula. I'll leave first. Feel free to contact me if you need any elixir." After Sun Ming gave the elixir to Cao Rui, he turned around and left without bothering him any further.

Cao Rui watched Sun Ming leave, then took the storage bag and came to the alchemy room on the seventh floor of the training tower.
