Chapter 211 First Test of Skill, Top-Grade Pills
With the experience from the first time, Shen Rugo became even more skilled the second time, and the second batch of pills was produced in no more than half an incense stick's time.
As soon as Shen Rugo opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, Daoist Xingchen grabbed all the pills inside with his large hand and loudly counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!"
"Two top-grade, three mid-grade, and two low-grade!"
"Haha, that's great! Ruge, you've improved so fast! Now, refine the third batch!"
Shen Rugo was also very happy, and sure enough, the second time was an improvement over the first.
Then came the third batch, for which she added even more ingredients. This time, nine pills were produced.
Three are of superior quality, four are of medium quality, and two are of inferior quality.
Then came the fourth batch.
The fourth batch yielded another surprise, producing a top-quality piece.
Then the fifth batch, the sixth batch...
Each batch of pills produced a higher quality pill than the last.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the ninth batch. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!"
"Two top-grade pills, three high-grade pills, three mid-grade pills, and one low-grade pill!"
All that could be heard was the Starry Sky Taoist shouting loudly.
If he hadn't set up a barrier to prevent his voice from spreading, it's likely that his voice would have already reached every mountain peak and been known to everyone in the Star Palace.
"Master, now you believe in my learning ability, right?"
Shen Rugo looked at Xingchen Daoren, who was shouting like a child, and said with a smile.
She wants to return to the secret realm to learn more pill formulas, refine high-level pills, and also learn other magical arts and supernatural powers, such as runes.
"Let's hurry inside and find the recipes for level two and level three pills. Let's see if you can refine them!"
Before Shen Rugo could figure out how to start the conversation, Daoist Xingchen shouted and led her back into the Pill Dao Hall of the secret realm.
As a result, Shen Rugo learned several pill formulas at once.
Under the expectant gaze of Xingchen Daoren, Shen Rugo did not disappoint him.
Not only were the second-grade pills successfully refined, but the ninth batch also produced a top-grade pill.
The Star Daoist trembled as he looked at the top-grade pill.
When alchemists refine pills, top-grade pills are extremely rare.
Even true alchemy masters, fourth or fifth grade alchemists, find it difficult to refine a top-grade pill when refining second-grade pills.
The so-called top-grade pills are those that have patterns or markings on their surface.
This means that the toxins in the elixir have been almost completely removed, leaving no toxin residue.
In other words, the elixir has no negative effects on the person who takes it.
Next up are the level three pills.
On the tenth batch, Shen Rugo refined another top-grade level three pill.
This made Xingchen Daoist so excited that he was completely numb.
This little disciple of mine is not human, he's practically a god, or rather, the reincarnation of the legendary Alchemy Saint.
He genuinely suspected that a great alchemist who had lived for ten thousand years resided within Shen Rugo's body.
He held the top-grade level three pill in his hand, his whole body trembling, almost unable to hold it steady.
"Level three, top-grade pill, top-grade pill!"
The Star Daoist kept muttering to himself.
"Master, don't get so excited. It's just a top-grade pill."
The disciple's alchemy skills will become increasingly proficient, and such pills will become more and more abundant.
Shen Rugo couldn't help but smile as she spoke.
She was also very satisfied with her alchemy skills.
"Of course your master believes you."
Let's go inside quickly. Take another look and see if you can write down any other pill formulas and what materials are needed. Give them to me to prepare!
You can also try those level four and even level five pills!
In the blink of an eye, Shen Rugo was led into the alchemy hall by Daoist Xingchen, who pointed to the pill formulas on the bookshelf and said...
"Let me choose some more."
However, Master, I cannot refine level four or level five pills right now.
After all, my cultivation level is too low; I'm only at the Qi Refining stage.
"Without reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, it's impossible to refine pills of level four or higher."
Shen Rugo said with a smile.
Alchemists not only need alchemy talent, top-grade fire spirit root, and powerful fire control techniques, but also a certain level of cultivation.
Even if someone at the Qi Refining stage has the highest level of alchemy skills, they can only refine pills of level three or lower.
"I was so happy that I lost my mind."
Of course, you can write it down first, after all, you're so smart.
"I am a Taoist priest," Xingchen Daoren said, patting his head.
Shen Rugo nodded and looked through almost all the pill formulas below level three, and then looked at two single-ingredient formulas for level four pills.
Finally, after Shen Rugo left the bookshelf, he pulled her to the middle of the hall, pointed to the thousands of alchemy furnaces, and said generously, "Take whichever of these alchemy furnaces you like."
Even the most top-tier Dao artifact-level alchemy furnace, you can obtain!
At this moment, he wished he could give Shen Rugo all the good things in the world.
"A higher-level alchemy furnace is unnecessary. This superior-grade magic treasure alchemy furnace is sufficient for me, since I only refine first, second, and third-grade pills."
"Isn't this too low-grade? Why don't you take this top-grade magic weapon?"
“There’s really no need, Master. Anyway, these alchemy furnaces are all in the secret realm, and no one can take them away. I can just come and get them whenever I need them.”
Besides, it would be better for me to take such a high-level magic weapon out with me.
The saying goes, "Possessing a treasure is a crime," meaning that if I were discovered, it would bring me utter ruin!
Shen Rugo waved her hand and said.
"A catastrophe?"
"Who in this world dares to threaten you? I'll tear them apart and destroy their lair!"
"The Starry Sky Taoist shouted."
However, he did not force Shen Rugo this time.
"My master is so good to me!"
Shen Rugo hugged Xingchen Daoren's arm, gently shaking it and acting coquettishly.
"You must be tired too, let's call it a day..."
Xingchen Daoist led Shen Rugo to leave the secret realm.
"Master, don't rush, let's go and take a look at other places."
"Didn't you say there are many supernatural powers and spells here, and apparently rune magic and array magic as well? Let's go take a look."
Shen Rugo quickly replied.
"Ah, you want to learn other supernatural powers and spells, and also runes and formations?"
Master Xingchen's eyes widened.
"Yes, Master, isn't that what you said? The Star Palace has so many inheritances and countless supernatural powers and spells from hundreds of thousands of years ago. It's a waste to leave them lying around. Why don't we go take a look?"
Who knows, maybe I'll learn it again after a while?
"You can learn it so quickly?"
"You silly child, you spend most of the day learning alchemy and refining elixirs. Doesn't your little brain get tired? Don't you need a rest?"
Master Xingchen affectionately patted Shen Rugo's head.
He was really afraid that his precious apprentice would overwork himself and damage his head.
“I am not tired at all, and I am full of energy.”
After all, I've finally managed to enter this secret realm, and I really don't want to leave so soon. I really want to learn as much as possible!
Shen Rugo shook Xingchen Daoren's arm again, pleading.
"You finally managed to get in?"
Are you worried that you won't be able to come in whenever you want, kid?
Xingchen Daoren instantly understood Shen Rugo's meaning.
"Yes. Entering and exiting this kind of secret realm must be difficult, and it might consume a lot of Master's magic power. So every time we come in, we should learn as much as possible!"
Shen Rugo blinked her big eyes and said.
"You're overthinking it, kid. This secret realm can be opened by me anytime, it's very easy, it doesn't take any magic power at all."
"If you want to come in, just tell me and I'll bring you in!"
"Can Master bring me in anytime? Or even once a day?"
Shen Rugo was just hearing those words, and she exclaimed with delight.
