Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Although I told Zhao Shuyuan the truth about my current alchemy skills and expressed my confidence that my alchemy skills would definitely improve once I advanced to the late stage of Qi training,

Li Ji'an didn't expect her employer to be so straightforward.

It was enough to show the employer's trust in Zhao Shuyuan.

It also shows Zhao Shuyuan's integrity in her actions over the past few decades.

She didn't even confirm my alchemy skills!

However, Li Ji'an is also confident that he will live up to this trust.

After saying goodbye to her employer, Zhao Shuyuan originally wanted to take Li Ji'an downstairs to find Manager Wu to handle the registration affairs, but the employer kept her and let Li Ji'an go downstairs alone.

She not only did not understand Zhao Shuyuan's affection for Li Ji'an, but also strongly disagreed.

The world of cultivation is full of crises and challenges, and it is even more unpredictable. Even biological children will not be kept in a greenhouse to be cared for all the time, let alone those who are not biological, or even have no blood relationship. Giving too much kindness is a disaster.

He is already twenty-six years old, and he is not a child without self-control.

The most important thing is that Zhao Shuyuan is her family's self-combed maid, and the closest person should be her own family.

Li Ji'an's thoughts are similar to those of the employer. He understands Zhao Shuyuan's spiritual sustenance and affection for him, but he has never taken it for granted to accept or demand it. After all, he had not helped them in his previous life, and the exchange of value is the basis for maintaining the relationship.

His situation as a junior is cheating.

After saying goodbye to the two, Li Ji'an went downstairs to register his identity and received the Keqing identity card of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.

With this identity card, his starting point in Xiancheng is much higher than that of ordinary casual cultivators.

Before leaving, he bought a batch of medicinal materials.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Li Ji'an went directly to the residential area at the junction of the inner and outer cities that he had been optimistic about ten years ago.

The property rights here all belong to the Biyun Sect.

Finally, he selected a terraced courtyard that had just been vacated and located on a first-order high-grade spiritual vein, with an annual rent of 160 spiritual stones.

It is said to be a small courtyard, but it is just two bungalows with a front yard of about 30 square meters.

However, this kind of grade basically requires ordinary, unattached casual cultivators to accumulate decades of hard work to be able to rent with peace of mind.

If the skills are insufficient and the income is unstable, renting this kind of house will be very stressful.

The original tenant was a weapon refiner enshrined by a small family in the west. Because he could not meet the needs of skill improvement, he left the family and went to the north. Now, more than 20 years have passed, and he finally decided to return to his small hometown to retire.

After completing all the formalities, Li Ji'an closed the courtyard door, released Guagua from the spirit pet bag and let it dig a pond in the courtyard, and he immediately reported his safety to Yan Qingwan and Zhang Tiezhu.

Yan Qingwan replied in time, comforting him not to be stressed. Most of the elders in the clan did not have too many ideas. Do not break the connection. When the situation in the wilderness stabilizes, welcome him back as a guest, and also said that if there is a chance, they will come to study alchemy together.

After replying to Yan Qingwan's message, he sent a message to Zhao Shuyuan to inform her of the address, euphemistically saying that he would not have much time to accompany her in the future to study alchemy, but in fact, he did not want her to spend too much time on him and make it difficult for her with the employer.

"Hu ~" After replying to the message, Li Ji'an lay on the bed, feeling a burst of relaxation.

Fifty-seven years ago, in the first life when he first came to the world of cultivation, he did not understand the situation or the logic of the world of cultivation. He integrated nearby, groped little by little, and relied on his extraordinary understanding to enter the Yan family, which was considered a safe passage and accumulated unexpected favors and skills for this life.

In the second life, he got the favor and help of the Yan family, especially Yan Qingwan, so that he could successfully raise his spiritual roots in the Yan family, and his spiritual root talent exceeded expectations. He unexpectedly came into contact with the sect. At that time, he was indeed not psychologically prepared.

Because in the previous life, he had limited understanding of the sects at the top of the food chain in the wilderness, and he was taken by Yan Qingwan to participate in the sect trial in a hurry, so the process of contacting the sect seemed a little unwise.

Now, thanks to the favors left in the Yan family in the previous life, he spent the middle stage of Qi training in the Yan family as expected in the previous life, and finally took another step forward and was able to gain a foothold in Xiancheng.

Whether it is broadening horizons or resource opportunities, the starting point is several levels higher than in the previous life.

Step by step, steadily and steadily, life after life, upward, can't be rushed, can't be messed up.

After resting for three days, Li Ji'an began to refine pills.

He is at the sixth level of Qi training, but he has never taken low-grade pills to accelerate his cultivation, which guarantees the purity and condensation of the mana in the Dantian, and there is no accumulation of pill poison. The condensed pill fire is stronger than many late-stage Qi training.

His alchemy skills have been further improved on the basis of his previous life. The rate of high-quality first-order mid-stage pills has increased to 70%, and the rate of high-grade late-stage pills can be guaranteed to be 60%.

Once he advances to the late stage of Qi training, if the pill fire is further improved, the rate of high-quality late-stage pills will be at least 60% or more.

Three hours later, the first furnace of mid-stage pills was released.

Compared with the practice-level medicinal materials used in the Yan family, the quality of this furnace of medicinal materials is several times higher, and the cost of a medicinal material is 10 spiritual stones. The pill formation rate reaches 80%, and there are 5 high-quality pills, 1 medium-quality pill, and 2 low-quality pills.

The ratio of a medicinal material is basically 10 pills at the upper limit.

According to the purchase price of high-grade pills here, mid-stage Ningqi pills, genuine products, that is, low-grade, one spiritual stone for two pills, medium-grade one spiritual stone for one pill, high-grade three spiritual stones for one pill, and high-quality five spiritual stones for one pill.

The latest novels are first published on the 69 Book Bar!

Generally, a first-order alchemist, when refining mid-stage Ningqi pills, a pill formation rate of about 50% is considered qualified, but if you purchase this kind of medicinal materials, you will basically lose money. They generally only refine ordinary pills with a higher pill formation rate.

Senior alchemists have a pill formation rate of about 70%, and a high-grade pill rate of 60%. Refining this furnace of Ningqi pills can make a profit of 50%.

Li Ji'an's furnace, the profit is more than doubled and 50% more.

In addition, with the Keqing status, the purchase price of pills is increased and the purchase price of medicinal materials is discounted, and the profit of a furnace is almost doubled.

In order to ensure the rate of high-quality products, the medicinal properties will be squeezed, so other pills except high-quality products will not be very good.

As a first-order alchemist, earning 20 spiritual stones from a furnace of pills, the profitability can be called terrifying.

The most important thing is that ordinary alchemists consume too much mana and divine soul when refining pills. Normally, one furnace every three days, and more diligent ones have to make one furnace every other day, while Li Ji'an's divine consciousness is comparable to the early stage of foundation building, and two furnaces a day are not a problem.

However, his expenses are also large. At least this furnace of pills, he has to take two high-quality Ningqi pills himself to increase his cultivation.

In addition to refining pills, he also needs to study talisman arts, and he can't delay his cultivation, so he plans to make one furnace a day.

Overall, he can have a pill refining income of more than 200 spiritual stones a month, which basically meets his expenses for studying talisman arts, as well as daily cultivation, all living expenses, and if he works a little harder and refines two more furnaces, he can still have a surplus and arrange fine food for Guagua.

However, he has no idea of getting rich by hard work, and hopes to get rich by skills and quality after the talisman is improved and the cultivation is broken through.

A month passed in a flash.

On this day, the Keqing identity card vibrated.

Manager Wu's message carried a hint of a different emotion.

Normally speaking, the bottom line for Keqing alchemists is that they need to sell no less than 300 spiritual stones of pills to the pill shop every month. This is also a kind of alchemy skill assessment, otherwise they will be cleared out.

"However, there are still three days before the deadline." Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows slightly, and understood this, after all, it was the first time, and he didn't understand his alchemy skills.
