Chapter 269: Chapter 161: Selling Pills_l

Translator: 549690339

After successfully refining the Gathering Yuan Pill, which elevated his alchemical skills to advanced beginner level, Lin Yi rested for two days before once again immersing himself into pill-refinement.

It was also the end of the month, a time to enter the Secret Realm. With only five days left before the month ended, not entering would be a waste of the precious time the Secret Realm offered.

In the nearly half a year since he had arrived at Golden Sword Peak, Lin Yi’s cultivation had been interrupted few times, except for occasional visits from close seniors like Zhou Yun Feng; the other Foundation Establishment disciples on Golden Sword Peak, did not bother him.

Each time he entered the Secret Realm for alchemy, he would leave a sign stating he was cultivating outside his Cave Mansion’s protective array. Even if Zhou Yun Feng and others arrive, they would not intrude upon seeing the sign.

Unless there was an emergency, such as a sudden attack on the Liu Yun Sect by another sect or a Nascent Soul True Monarch, although the chances of such an event were extremely low.

Even so, Lin Yi went to the Dan God’s Cave Mansion and asked Elder Dan God to modify the protective array of the mansion. If anyone intruded, Elder Dan God would sense it and notify him.

This principle was similar to his invocation of the Teleportation Mantra in the outside world to summon Elder Dan God.

In this way, he could ensure that he could return quickly if someone intruded into his Cave Mansion.

Lin Yi put Zhi Ling into the Spirit Pet Column, and brought three sets of materials for Golden Elixir Pills. He squeezed the Teleportation Mantra and called upon Elder Dan God, and a passageway of Rosy Clouds appeared before him. He stepped into it and arrived again in the Dan God Secret Realm.

He immediately teleported to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, left Zhi Ling with the Green Giant Python, and then proceeded to the Pill Room.

In the six or seven years he had been entering the Secret Realm, he had never taken the time to admire the beautiful scenery. Each time he entered, he went straight to the Pill Room for alchemy, an extremely important matter.

As long as he successfully completes the test of the Dan God’s inheritance, he could enter the Secret Realm at will in the future, and there would still be plenty of time to appreciate the scenery.

Upon reaching the Pill Room, he encountered a volcanic eruption. Lin Yi was in the Pill Room’s formation, watching the hot lava passing over the protective light shield above him, then erupting from the volcano’s mouth.

A volcanic eruption, which would be incredibly lethal to ordinary people, was insignificant in the eyes of cultivators. In the array, he couldn’t even feel the slightest heat.

After admiring it for a while, Lin Yi entered the Pill Room. He had previously attempted to make the Gathering Yuan Pill in the Secret Realm, but had been failing until just two days ago, with the aid of the Minor Blessing State, he kicked the last obstacle away and succeeded.

The Gathering Yuan Pill takes two to three days to prepare. As for the Golden Elixir, even the minimum amount takes ten days. And he could only stay in the Secret Realm for a maximum of five days each time.

However, it was his first time refining a Golden Elixir, and it was natural for him not to succeed. He was just there to gather some experience from failure.

Moreover, if he did manage to refine it successfully after five days, Elder Dan God would probably not forcefully kick him out.

The materials required for the Golden Elixir were more than those for the Gathering Yuan Pill, primarily consisting of Spirit Grass and some products from Monster Beasts. Each kind was not cheap, which was why a formula that could only produce three pills would sell for ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Spirit Grass required for the Golden Elixir could be found among the Spirit

Grass collected by those he had killed in the Dan God Secret Realm, reducing his expenses a bit.

Apart from the large number of materials required, the complexity of the

Golden Elixir’s refinement was much greater than that of Gathering Yuan Pill. Even among high-order alchemists with Golden Core Real Person cultivation levels, only a few would specifically study the refinement of higher-quality Golden Elixirs.

This was because the difficulty of refining top-grade and supreme-grade Golden Elixirs was the highest among all high-grade pills. Even the lowest-grade Golden Elixir was many times more difficult to refine than other high-grade pills.

After placing all the materials on the side, Lin Yi started the alchemy furnace, raised the Earth Fire, and began the refinement.

He had previously asked Elder Dan God about the formula for the Golden Elixir to see if he could provide it. However, there was no response, indicating that Elder Dan God would not teach him anything before passing the test.

As a result, he obtained the formula from Pill Hall. It was a good thing he had become a direct disciple. Otherwise, obtaining a formula like the Golden Elixir would not be easy.

Unless he was willing to pay a high price to buy it from a shop in Qing Yun City or Tian Yun Xian City. And even those formulas might not be as detailed as those provided by Brother Wu Tian Zhang from Pill Hall.

At the moment Lin Yi was refining the pill, a figure slowly materialized outside the Fire Region Alchemy Room. Feeling the activity inside the Pill Room, he couldn’t help but shake his head. This young man who couldn’t even successfully refine a Gathering Yuan Pill was trying to refine a Golden Elixir, which was somewhat too arrogant.

However, this young man’s refinement of Gathering Yuan Pill was progressing with each attempt, which was true. However, no matter how much progress he made, it was impossible to successfully refine a Gathering Yuan Pill in just a few days.

He gave eight years for this, and it has only been seven years now. There were nearly two years left. Instead of progressing gradually, he wanted to refine the Golden Elixir too soon to complete the test. It was a very wrong           decision.

He could guess the reason for Lin Yi’s actions. He must be wanting to achieve a perfect appraisal like he did with the Pill Room test, and win a higher inherited reward. This was somewhat too greedy..
