Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Eight times the cultivation efficiency is quite in line with this timeline.

After obtaining this conjecture, Luo Chen’s previously tense mindset in his cultivation finally began to relax.

Previously, with five times the cultivation efficiency, it would still take fifty to sixty years to just barely reach the threshold of Foundation Establishment. And his lifespan mysteriously stalled at seventy-five years of his previous life. After fifty to sixty years, he would be old and frail, lacking the energy to push for Foundation Establishment.

But now, with the assistance of the Small Qi Gathering Array, this time was reduced to less than thirty years.

By then, he would only be in his fifties.

In the prime of his life, full of vigor and vitality, he would absolutely possess enough strength to strive for Foundation Establishment.

And!

All these calculations are made without considering the usage of elixirs and

many cultivation assisting resources!

If such factors are taken into account, this time period would be drastically reduced.

After all, integrating and absorbing Spirit Power passively cannot match the efficiency gained from directly consuming elixirs made from condensed Spirit Power.

“Uncle Mi Shuhua has been really good to me!”

With such sentiment, Luo Chen stepped onto the mine passageway.

When he was about to leave, he paused, looking around the extensive mine tunnels.

The idea that had previously cropped up in his mind once again surfaced. Perhaps, it was indeed possible to dig another exit leading to a different direction?

With a thought, Luo Chen released his Puppet Beast, a small pangolin, and according to his accurate recollection, headed toward a mine tunnel facing the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

“Hall Master, you seem to be in a good mood today?”

Tang Quan came up and said with flattery.

“Oh, is that so?”

The corner of Luo Chen’s mouth lifted into a slight smile.

His mood was indeed good, with the increase in cultivation efficiency, he had

truly seen the hope of reaching Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, in the early morning exploration of the mine, he finally discovered a previously dug passageway that went far.

That mine tunnel was very narrow, only just big enough for one person to pass. But after inspection, Luo Chen found it to be the closest tunnel to the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

He would find some time later, dig a bit every day, perhaps there might just be

a direct passage to the Outer World.

By then, if Crescent Valley encountered other cultivators or Demon Beasts that they could not resist, he could calmly retreat.

With prospects in cultivation and an alternative escape route, his mood was naturally great.

Glimpsing at Tang Quan, Luo Chen suddenly said, “Your Uncle Zeng Wen keeps asking me when I will refine the Allure Pill. But as you know, the Gang Leader has tasked me to focus on refining Jade Marrow Pills, so where would I find the time to refine his Allure Pills?”

Tang Quan nodded, wondering why Luo Chen spoke of this.

Then, Luo Chen’s following words put a fascinating expression on him. “Mi Li and Luo ‘Er Duo have become quite skilled at refining Fasting Pills. You hang around the medicine herbs all day, but that’s not doing you any good.” “Why don’t you take my place in refining Allure Pills?”

“What!” Tang Quan was dumbstruck.

“What are you so shocked at!” Luo Chen pulled him into the Pill Room, pointed at the Xuanyun Tripod and said, “Make the most of your free time, I’ll teach you.”

After saying this, he turned to look at Mi Li and the others.

“You guys can also watch. If you’re interested, you can try it out as well.”

Tutoring others on the refinement of Allure Pills had been an intermittent thought in Luo Chen’s mind for the past few months.

Initially, he held on to the principle of leaving everything for himself, unwilling to teach anything to anyone.

But as refining pills began to take up too much of his cultivation time, he knew that he could no longer continue in this way.

Therefore, he began to teach the techniques of handling medicinal ingredients, controlling the fire temperature, and even the skills for storing elixirs. Three months ago, he imparted the insights of the Fasting Pill to people like Mi Li.

In fact, the Fasting Pill was of little concern, its pill formula was commonplace. That time at the Rogue Cultivator market, Luo Chen was not the only one selling Fasting Pills.

in comparison, the pill formula for the Allure Pill was certainly precious. It was a trade secret.

Ordinarily, Luo Chen should not allow others to know about it.

But presently, his mindset had changed.

Cultivation was the basis for all cultivators, and all the other skills and arts merely served this purpose.

After thoroughly weighing the pros and cons, Luo Chen ultimately felt it was better to allow his medicinal disciples to learn.

On one hand, they could maintain the variety of elixirs produced by the Broken Mountain Gang’s Pill Hall by learning how to refine Allure Pills.

On the other, it could save a lot of his time for cultivation. And thirdly, to be practical, the market for Allure Pills was indeed limited. Even though they had stabilized the production of medium grade Allure Pills, the market was solely confined to The Great River District.

Mi Shuhua had tried to expand its sale to the Taishan District and Liuguang District, but the price simply couldn’t go any higher in those places.

That’s why Mi Shuhua eventually made the decision to let Luo Chen focus on refining the Jade Marrow Pills.

The profit from Allure Pills was simply too small.

In the past, when it was just enough to support Luo Chen’s cultivation, it was barely acceptable. But as the main product of a gang, its performance was simply inadequate.

Finally, there was one crucial reason.

Being a Pill Refiner does not mean that possessing the pill formula would allow one to refine a good elixir.

Given the talents of Tang Quan and Mi Li, even if they were given ample resources and ample time, they would find it hard to produce Ascendant Grade Allure Pills in their lifetime.

In other words, the core competitive advantage still rests in Luo Chen’s hands. Luo Chen would not do the foolish thing of teaching the apprentice and starving himself.

He will always retain some tricks up his sleeve.

Huff, Huff.

In the Pill Room, Tang Quan’s nostrils twitched as he smelled a burnt scent. He turned to look at Luo Chen, only to see Luo Chen shrug his shoulders. “Why are you looking at me? It’s common to fail in pill refinement.” “Clean up the Pill Furnace. This afternoon we still have to work on refining Jade Marrow Pills..”
