"You only need 200 proficiency points to get started?!"

Xu Mu's face looked a little ugly.

He realized that the difficulty of refining the second-level elixir would increase, but he did not expect it to increase so much.

But there's nothing you can do if you don't want to. The system is only responsible for displaying data, and there's no way to adjust it, and it won't ask him for advice or bargaining.

I frowned and thought for a while, and then I could only admit it.

No matter how much proficiency is required for the Chalcedony Pill, he will have to learn it sooner or later.

Although his skills were already displayed, Xu Mu did not immediately add points. Instead, he spent two days first memorizing the steps of refining the alchemy and practicing the elixir formulas until he was familiar with them and could easily master them.

At this time, open the system and check again. The familiarity of Chalcedony Pill has reached the entry level; 22/200.

Then he turned over Sun Daocheng's refining experience and studied it carefully until he fully understood it.

At this time, Chalcedony Pill has reached the entry point; 30/200.

No matter what he tries again this time, his proficiency in the Chalcedony Pill will not improve at all.

Only then did Xu Mu start adding more points.

【Chalcedony Pill 10】!

【Chalcedony Pill 10】!

【Chalcedony Pill 10】!

…

[Proficient in Chalcedony Pill; 200/800]

It took another day, Xu Mu spent 770 luck points to upgrade the Chalcedony Pill to the mastery level, and then stopped improving it.

The main reason was that his luck value was almost gone, and he planned to save the remaining two hundred points to improve his fire-bending skills after breaking through the fourth level of Qi training.

After adding the points, Xu Mu did not immediately start refining the Chalcedony Pill, but first refined two furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills.

On the one hand, it is to warm up, and on the other hand, I am worried that the spiritual power in the body will be insufficient during the process of refining the Chalcedony Pill, so I refine two furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills and keep them for later use.

After all, the Chalcedony Pill is also a second-level elixir, and its refining is far more difficult than the Qi Gathering Pill. It would be a pity if it failed due to insufficient spiritual power in the body.

Although Qi Gathering Pill is not a pill specifically used to replenish spiritual power, it has some effect.

If taken in large amounts, it can also play a role in replenishing spiritual power.

After refining the Qi Gathering Pill, he rested for another day and adjusted his condition to the best before starting to refine the Chalcedony Pill.

Raw bone flower, yellow lotus essence, blood lotus essence, ice spirit flame grass, purple and blue leaves, white ginseng fruit, snow lotus seeds, red spirit fruit...

Check the medicinal materials carefully.

ignition!

Warm up!

The flames in Xu Mu's hands were already spiritual.

The firebending technique, which is close to the extraordinary realm, has made flames become his arms. He doesn't even need to pinch the magic formula anymore, and can produce various changes with a flick of his fingers.

The alchemy furnace exudes little bits of fluorescence, and mysterious runes form mysterious patterns that cover the entire alchemy furnace.

After sensing that the temperature was sufficient, Xu Mu put the medicinal materials into it one by one in order, controlling the flame and stabilizing the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials.

Time continued to pass during the refining process. Except for taking a few Qi Gathering Pills to replenish his spiritual power, Xu Mu stared at the pill furnace without blinking.

Finally, after two days and one night of hard refining, the Chalcedony Pill was finally released.

There is a strong medicinal fragrance in the air, and one breath makes you feel comfortable all over.

"With a third-level Qi training level, it is really difficult to refine second-level elixirs. Fortunately, my refining skills have reached proficiency!" Xu Mu sighed.

In order to avoid accidents, he also added an extra 200 proficiency points, otherwise he might not be able to succeed the first time.

It’s just refined quality!

Three were of medium quality, seven were of low quality, and not even one was of high quality.

But if he could successfully refine it, he would be satisfied.

If you want to refine a top-grade chalcedony pill, I'm afraid you have to upgrade it to the perfect level.

However, even if it is a low-grade chalcedony pill, it is a second-grade pill, which is ten times more expensive than the Qi Gathering Pill.

If he sells this pot of pills, he can earn more than 80 low-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to half a month of refining Qi Gathering Pills.

He can only make one furnace of Qi Gathering Pill a day, and he has to take a day off after refining it. He can make up to fifteen furnaces a month.

Each furnace is calculated based on the yield of ten pills, which is 150 pills. After deducting the cost of two spiritual stones per furnace (the initial price), the profit is 120 spiritual stones.

As for chalcedony pills, one furnace is calculated every three days. Even if there is a three-day break, five furnaces can be refined. Based on the calculation of ten pills produced in one furnace, it is fifty pills.

After deducting the cost of twenty spiritual stones per furnace, there is still a profit of up to four hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

If you work harder, rest for two days, or even one day, and then start the next furnace, the profit can even exceed a thousand.

Compared with before there was no system, it was directly improved by a hundred times.

This is a second-level elixir after all!

In the entire Baishifang City, there are not many second-level elixirs that can be refined, so it is not surprising that such exaggerated profits can be made.

"Prices have risen sharply recently, and the price of chalcedony pills must have also risen a lot. Maybe my income can easily exceed 1,000!"

Xu Mu was in a very happy mood and felt that he had done the right thing by adding so much luck to the Chalcedony Pill.

He rested for a day and was about to take the refined chalcedony pill to see if it could help break through the fourth level of Qi training when there was a knock on the door outside.

Through the crack in the door, I saw a chubby figure.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, what's the matter?"

Xu Mu opened the door and looked at Jia An, who was frowning and thinking, and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you really can keep your composure! Don't you know that the rent has gone up again?" Jia An looked up at Xu Mu and said with a bitter smile.

"It's gone up again? By how much?" Xu Mu frowned slightly.

Recently, he was either refining elixirs or improving his cultivation. He didn't pay much attention to the situation in the shanty town.

"Five low-grade spiritual stones!"

Jia An stretched out five short and thick fingers and said feebly.

To be honest, the price was completely beyond his limit.

If prices hadn't increased recently, causing his income to skyrocket, he would have moved away long ago.

"So many? I remember it only rose to three spirit stones last month!" Xu Mu said in surprise.

Five spiritual stones were nothing to him now, but to a low-level monk living in a shanty town, they were enough to kill him.

After all, their monthly income may be less than five spiritual stones. After paying the rent, they will no longer be able to afford food.

"Who says it's not the case? It seems the Chi family is determined to force us to leave!" Jia An sighed.

"Chi family? Have we changed the management here?" Xu Mu said in surprise.

He remembered that the entire Baishifang City should be under the control of the Song family.

"Don't you know yet?"

Jia An said doubtfully.

After confirming that Xu Mu really didn't know, he opened his mouth to explain.

It turns out that during the recent period, in addition to many fleeing cultivators, several foundation-building families have also moved in, including the Chi family.

The Chi family had an edict from the Qinghe Sword Sect, so the Song family had to give up part of their territory as a resettlement place for them.

And the area where they are located is one of them.

The entire power of Baishifang City has long been redivided.

"No wonder the rent collector changed last time!"

Xu Mu suddenly realized.

"Fellow Daoist Jia came to see me. Isn't that what he was talking about?"

"of course not!"

Jia An looked around and lowered his voice and said: "I discussed it with fellow Taoists in several nearby alleys and felt that it was not an option to continue the increase like this, so I wanted to unite everyone to go to Chi's house to ask for an explanation. I came here to ask.

Would you like to go together?"

Xu Mu said in astonishment: "Fellow Daoist Jia, are you kidding me? The other party is from the Foundation Establishment Family. Just the likes of us are going there. Isn't that looking for death?"

It wouldn't be a murder, but based on Xu Mu's guess, the other party probably wouldn't pay attention to him.

The main reason is that the status gap between the two is too big!

The people living in shanty towns are all low-level monks, and there are not many in the middle stage of Qi training. How can they bargain with others?
