Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 219: New discovery

The Seven Star Pill can be classified as a golden elixir-stage elixir. The complexity and difficulty of refining it are extremely high. The first furnace failed only halfway through.

However, there is an isolation formation in the alchemy room, which cannot be detected from outside.

As time passed, Mu Linglong became anxious and felt that her actions were a bit rash.

This Junior Brother Chen had never refined the Seven Star Pill before, yet he gave him so many materials. If he failed, he didn't know how long it would take and how many spirit stones it would cost to find these materials again.

But apart from Junior Brother Chen, she really couldn't find anyone else she could trust. She thought that there would be many alchemists on the master's side, but who knew that this was the only one who could come up with something worthwhile.

Just when she was worried and anxious, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then the figure of Master Xu appeared, followed by another person.

"Hey, Junior Sister, why are you here? Where is Junior Brother Chen?"

Master He saw Mu Linglong and asked in surprise.

"Oh, I asked Junior Brother Chen to help me refine a pill. He is in the alchemy room. Is there anything you want to talk to him about?"

Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, she showed no respect towards Master Xu who was at the Golden Core stage and seemed very casual.

Master He seemed to be used to this, and said with a smile: "Junior sister, what kind of elixir do you want to refine? It just so happens that Master Lu, who was invited by Senior Brother before, is here, so you can let him show off his skills."

As he spoke, he let the square-faced middle-aged man behind him step out and introduced him, "This is Master Alchemist Lv Yuan, who has reached the level of a master alchemist and has officially joined our Silver Immortal City."

Then he said to Lu Yuan: "This is my junior sister Mu Linglong, who is much more favored by Master than I am."

When Lu Yuan saw Mu Linglong's attractive appearance and curves, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked forward with a smile on his face, saying, "Hello, Daoist Mu. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Mu Linglong looked at the other party and suddenly asked, "Can you refine the Seven Star Pill?"

"What, Junior Sister, are you asking Junior Brother Chen to help you refine the Seven Star Pill?"

Before Lu Yuan could answer, Master He's expression changed and he spoke in surprise.

Mu Linglong's face fell, and she said, "Yes, he is the only one in our Silver Immortal City who has the highest level of alchemy. If I don't look for him, who else can I look for?"

Master He held his forehead with his hand, speechless for a while.

"Junior sister, you are too careless. Although Junior Brother Chen is an alchemist, he has not reached the level of a master. How could he possibly refine the Seven Star Pill!"

At the same time, he couldn't help but think in his heart, if Chen Lin could refine elixirs for the Golden Core Stage, why would he have to travel thousands of miles to recruit others and promise them countless benefits.

After hearing this, Mu Linglong felt that she was too impulsive and looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan immediately smiled proudly and said, "Although my skills are mediocre, I can still refine the Seven Star Pill!"

Mu Linglong's eyes lit up, and she asked anxiously, "What is the success rate of the pill? What kind of sample-grade pill can be refined?"

Master Lu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Although the success rate of the Seven Star Pill is low, if I refine it, one out of five furnaces will definitely succeed, or even higher! As for the quality of the pill, if the materials are good, it is still possible to increase the chance of forming a pill by 10%, and it is also possible to reach 15%. If I am lucky enough, there is hope that I can refine a top-grade pill that increases the chance of forming a pill by 20%."

Mu Linglong frowned when she heard this, weighed it in her mind, and said nothing.

The opponent's level doesn't seem to be very good. He is not as confident as Chen Lin, and he doesn't have his own junior brother who is trustworthy. Her demon pills cannot be seen in public.

However, she also secretly decided in her heart that if Chen Lin used up all her materials and still couldn't refine a pill, she would have to ask him to compensate her for part of it, because he had made such a careless promise before! "

Master Lu Dan was still posing in a haughty manner, waiting for Mu Linglong to take the initiative to ask for something, but unexpectedly the other party suddenly fell silent and his face immediately became embarrassed.

Seeing this, Master He said, "Junior sister, why don't you go and call Junior Brother Chen out quickly? If you wait any longer, all your materials will be wasted."

"Forget it. Trust your employees. Besides, Junior Brother Chen is someone that even our Master cares about. He probably won't make promises without thinking. Let's wait a little longer!"

Seeing Mu Linglong say this, Master He didn't know what to say.

Although he was more optimistic about Lu Yuan and intended to let him take over the Alchemy Hall, Chen Lin had also made considerable contributions to the Immortal City in the past two years and was nominally his junior brother, so he had to consider the other party's feelings.

Master He didn't care, but Master Lu Dan felt very unhappy and had a feeling of being looked down upon. However, he had also worked his way up from the bottom, so he didn't lose face on the spot and even kept a smile on his face the whole time.

He had already learned from He Zhen that Chen Lin was only at the initial stage of foundation building, and his alchemy skills were only at an average level. He was just good at refining foundation building pills, and he would not be able to achieve anything great.

Even if the other party is the registered disciple of the Silver Fairy, he will not be in charge of an important place like the Pill Palace forever. After all, matters like alchemy still depend on strength. I have never heard of any fairy city that would let an ordinary alchemist take charge of an alchemy master.

When he takes charge of the Alchemy Hall, he will slowly squeeze this person out and replace him with his own confidants. He will not need others to interfere in what happens in his territory.

Chen Lin had no idea what was going on outside. He stood in front of the alchemy furnace with a frown on his face, a look of deep joy.

He has completed five refinings, and the results of the experiments were very good, even beyond expectations!

The first four times he used demon pills as raw materials, all failed. The fifth time he changed to a set of spiritual medicine materials. Not the best one, but slightly worse. However, it was still higher quality than the demon pills. In theory, it should be possible to refine seven-star pills of better quality.

The result was unexpectedly smooth, and the highest limit, a three-pattern seven-star pill, was directly refined!

There will be dan patterns on the finished Seven Star Pill, and each dan pattern represents 10% of the efficacy. If a dan pattern is damaged, it will only have half the effect. This is obvious at a glance and cannot be faked.

Such experimental results show that my idea is correct. When refining a fixed item, the number of times will be counted as long as it is within a reasonable range, and the finished product will only be counted according to the materials of the successful time.

If you use good materials for the first four times but poor materials for the last time, the finished product will probably be poor.

The only pity is that items like the Seven Star Pill are too rare and hard to come by, so it is not easy to expand the effect of innate abilities.

"How about trying the strong luck technique?"

Chen Lin suddenly came up with this idea.

If one's own talents and abilities are really related to the rules of luck, then the technique of strong luck might really work.

"Forget it, it's better not to make things more complicated."

Immediately, he denied himself.

Using this secret technique would bring him bad luck, and he wasn't waiting for the elixir to be used right away, so there was no need to take the risk.

Chen Lin did not continue refining. The remaining materials were just enough for five furnaces, and there was also a set of top-grade spiritual medicine materials, but he planned to use them until the later stage of foundation building.

If you can't find better materials at that time, you can try using the strong luck technique to see if you can improve the level of the finished product.

After making the decision and packing up, Chen Lin walked out of the alchemy room.

The experiment went smoothly, and he got five portions of materials for refining the Seven-Star Pill for free. He was very excited inside, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Hello, Senior Brother!"

As soon as Chen Lin went out, he saw Master He outside. He was stunned and hurriedly bowed.

Then he glanced at the square-faced man next to the other person. He looked very unfamiliar, and seemed to have a vague hostility towards him. Although the other person had a smile on his face, he still felt it.

As his soul grew stronger, his perception also increased a lot.

Without waiting for Master He to speak, Mu Linglong immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is it, Junior Brother, did you succeed?"

Chen Lin smiled, took out the pill bottle, handed it to the other party and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission, but I am really new to it. I used up all the materials and only succeeded in making one pill."

"ah!"

Mu Linglong couldn't wait to open it, and then exclaimed.

“Three-patterned pill!”

She took the pill in her hand in disbelief, smiling so hard that her mouth couldn't close, and said, "Sister really didn't make a mistake about me. Junior brother, you are so amazing. I'm leaving first. When I succeed in forming the pill, I will give you a super big benefit!"

After saying that, she happily put the pill back into the pill bottle and hurried away.

Master He ignored Mu Linglong and looked at Chen Lin with shining eyes, "Junior Brother Chen, you have reached the level of a master of alchemy, and you have also refined a three-pattern seven-star pill?"

The value of the Seven-Star Pill will increase several times with each upgrade of a pattern. Anyone who can produce three patterns is an undisputed master of alchemy.

Although the quality of elixirs is closely related to the materials, the higher the quality of the materials, the higher the requirements for alchemy.

Chen Lin shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It does count, but I can only refine the Seven Star Pill right now. I haven't mastered the other Golden Pill-level recipes yet, and I don't know if I can succeed. Also, the success rate of refining the Seven Star Pill is currently very low."

"That's fine!" Master He waved his hand and said, "Since you succeeded once, it means that your skills have reached the standard. From now on, it's just a matter of becoming proficient. This is really good news. I think Master will be very happy to know about it."

Chen Lin just smiled when he heard this, and didn't say much. Instead, he changed the subject and looked at the square-faced man and asked, "Who is this fellow Taoist?"

Master He's face flashed with embarrassment, but he immediately put it away and said seriously: "This is Master Lu Yuan. From now on, he will be the alchemist of our Silver Fairy City. As the scale of the Fairy City is getting bigger and bigger, you can't handle it alone. It's just right that Master Lu can share some of the work for you."

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

This is the expert we found.

If he hadn't been able to refine the Seven Star Pill, then this person should have come to take over his position. After all, the Silver Fairy City was built according to the scale of a super fairy city. It would be too weak for an important place like the Pill Hall to be controlled by an ordinary alchemist, which would also lower the level of the fairy city.

It is estimated that it is not just him. Several other important departments will gradually be managed by people of equal strength.

In the past, people couldn’t get here, so we had to use them. Now that we have a teleportation array, there are plenty of monks who want to come here to develop, so talent is no longer a problem.

It may sound harsh to say that this is the case, but that is the truth.
