Shen Yuan Ring

the next day,

Ji Daoyi found Wang Yueyue and explained his purpose.

"Are you really planning to refine pills? You should know that refining pills now is a waste of your cultivation time. You would be better off going to the gravity training room to hone your Yuan energy, which will be more conducive to your breakthrough."

"Sister Yueyue, I only want to learn alchemy so that I can break through my limits quickly!"

"Really? You're not trying to fool me with this, are you? I've never heard of alchemy being able to help people break through quickly, otherwise only those who have no hope of breaking through would study alchemy."

"Sister Yueyue, this is a misunderstanding of alchemy. You should know that every alchemy master is passionate about the profession and has a talent for alchemy."

"If becoming an alchemist were so easy, our family wouldn't have so few alchemists, and alchemists wouldn't be so respected."

Wang Yueyue retorted, "That's because training an alchemist requires a lot of resources and also requires the alchemist's inheritance, and the family doesn't have that many resources to support them."

Ji Daoyi said helplessly, "Alright, Sister Yueyue, you should know that I succeeded in refining pills on my first try, and I mastered the refining of Body Tempering Pills in just one afternoon. So I have a high talent for refining pills. I was almost led astray. I refine pills in order to quickly master the power of the Marrow Refining Realm."

"Alchemy not only consumes a lot of energy, but also greatly improves the control of Yuan energy. So I want to use alchemy to quickly hone my realm in the next period of time, and at the same time I can improve my alchemy skills."

Wang Yueyue was stunned by what Ji Daoyi said, and then said, "Then I'll only give you a week. I'll check if you've wasted your time."

"Don't worry, how could I waste time? Sister Yueyue, can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead and ask, what's the question?"

"If I gave you the Meridian Opening Pill right now, would you immediately go into seclusion to break through to the Perfect Realm?"

"Of course!" Then Wang Yueyue's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness as she said, "It's just wishful thinking. It takes a lot of Meridian Opening Pills to break through to the Perfect Realm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken on this year-long training course. But fortunately, once this course is over, I'll have enough to exchange for a lot of Meridian Opening Pills."

"Of course, the most important thing is getting to know you lovely younger brothers and sisters! The best thing I did this year was taking on this mission."

"That's what we think too. We hope that Sister Yueyue will be able to break through to the Perfect Realm soon."

"You little brat, if it were that easy to break through, I wouldn't have spent so long earning points to exchange for the Meridian Opening Pill."

Ji Daoyi simply smiled and did not tell her about the Grand Steward's reward of the Meridian Opening Pill.

After saying goodbye to Wang Yueyue,

Ji Daoyi used his points to exchange for ten sets of Body Tempering Pills and twenty sets of Rejuvenation Pills. Since the ingredients for his own pills were not included in the free resource provision, he had to pay for them out of his own pocket.

During this time, he also learned that the inner court would recycle the refined pills, and the recycling was done using points.

"The inner courtyard really knows how to do business. They exchange points for spiritual materials, and then exchange pills for points. It's definitely cheaper than the outside market!"

Ji Daoyi estimated that it would take two medium-grade pills to break even after refining one batch of medicinal materials. In other words, based on his current level of refining three pills, breaking even would not be a problem.

At least in the time to come, the spiritual medicines he consumes will not cause him to lose money; in fact, he may even make a profit.

Not only can it improve alchemy skills and refine one's Yuan energy, but it can also earn extra Inner Academy points, making it a zero-cost, high-return business.

Ji Daoyi stayed in the alchemy room for a whole week this time. Apart from his morning practice, he spent most of his daytime hours in the alchemy room.

Three days ago, Ji Xiaohu and the others completely digested the remaining pills in their bodies. After two days of settling, they finally informed Wang Yueyue a day ago that they were going into seclusion to break through their limits.

Not long after Ji Xiaohu and the others went into seclusion, the Grand Steward sent someone to distribute Wang Yueyue's reward.

When Wang Yueyue received the reward, she was completely at a loss, because it was entirely her duty, and she did not want to see Jera harm her family. So she felt very unreal when she received the so-called reward.

The Meridian Opening Pill she had been longing for had unexpectedly appeared in her hands in this way.

"Should I go into seclusion to break through? With the help of these Meridian Opening Pills, I can break through to the Perfect Meridian Opening Realm in half a month. At that time, I will only be one step away from the Gathering Yuan Realm." Wang Yueyue looked at the Meridian Opening Pills in her hand, very conflicted about whether to go into seclusion immediately.

After much deliberation, she decided to ask Ji Daoyi for his opinion.

In the alchemy room,

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the last batch of Body Tempering Pills to yield four pills, and all of medium quality. It's a pity I'm out of Body Tempering Pill ingredients, otherwise I could refine them one or two more times to stabilize them." Ji Daoyi was happy but also a little regretful that he couldn't test them out immediately.

He then chuckled to himself, "Looks like I was too greedy. Being able to refine four pills at once is already a huge breakthrough. With this, I'll definitely be able to do it twice, three times. Why rush things?"

Ji Daoyi tallied up his alchemy gains for the week: ten sets of Body Tempering Pills. Except for the first time when he only managed to refine two pills, he refined three Body Tempering Pills each time afterward, all of medium quality.

In other words, this time, the refining of Body Tempering Pills earned an extra ten medium-grade Body Tempering Pills.

The situation with the Rejuvenation Pill was somewhat worse, but it also showed the greatest improvement because it was his first time refining it without a teacher's guidance, relying entirely on his experience in refining Body Tempering Pills.

Of the twenty sets of spiritual herbs, seventeen sets were successfully made into pills, yielding a total of forty-one Rejuvenation Pills. Three of these were of low quality, due to insufficient experience during the initial refining process, while the remaining thirty-eight pills were of medium quality.

Although the Rejuvenation Pill was produced at a loss this time, the overall gains were plentiful. His cultivation level was not only consolidated but also improved by one level, reaching the sixth level of Marrow Refinement. His alchemy skills also improved significantly, and he is now at the peak of a low-level alchemist.

Alchemists are ranked in the same way as cultivators. Those who can refine first-grade pills are called alchemists, second-grade alchemists are called alchemists, third-grade alchemists are called alchemists, and so on.

Each grade is further divided into three levels: low, medium, and high. Each level is further distinguished based on the difficulty of refining the pills and their effects. For example, being able to refine medium-grade Body Tempering Pills and Rejuvenation Pills would qualify one as a first-grade low-level alchemist.

At this time, Ji Daoyi was a genuine first-grade low-level alchemist.

Although there are countless low-level alchemists in the entire Southwest region, Ji Daoyi's ability to become a low-level alchemist at such a young age is truly remarkable, and given enough time, it is not impossible for him to become a Pill King.

Because Daoshu City has no Dan King lineage, the Dan Sect is considered a top-tier existence in Daoshu City, and its members are powerful figures who control the Dan Hall in various families.

To become a Pill King, one needs not only a high level of alchemy talent, but also the recipe for a third-grade pill.

Only the lucky alchemists have the opportunity to become apprentices of the Pill King, receive his inheritance, and become Pill Kings themselves.

Moreover, in the entire Southwest region, alchemy masters are extremely rare, you could count them on one hand, and it takes immense luck to even meet one.
