Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 91 He, Luo Chen, is the biggest rat in the Poshan Gang (first update))

 After getting up and practicing this morning, Luo Chen thought of a question.

 In other words, it’s not a problem, it’s something he has already considered.

That is the alchemy after the Alchemy Hall. Does he have to do everything by himself?

 If he really wants to do that, he will die from exhaustion!

 His previous solution was to leave some things to others.

　　For example, something like watching a fire.

 So when he started refining the alchemy yesterday, he did it like this.

 But the actual situation is a bit disastrous.

Even though those monks were urgently trained by him, they were still not qualified for the job.

 As a result, Luo Chen had to rush around three alchemy rooms frantically, helping out from time to time.

 Bigu Pill is just a low-grade medicine, while Zhongmiao Pill is a first-class pill, and the requirements for various details are higher!

In order to prevent himself from being exhausted, Luo Chen thought carefully about it in the morning and planned to make some changes.

 That is the subdivision of work types!

 ….

 “Division of labor?”

Hearing this, the group of thirty people became somewhat commotion.

They don’t understand this. Shouldn’t refining elixir be done in one go? Can we divide the work to make elixir?

Luo Chen glanced at it and saw that the person speaking was a man named Roldo, who seemed to be older than himself.

 My family!

  Unfortunately, I am not very kind to myself.

 Behind the opponent, there is an invincible force descending from the mountain.

At the time of the meeting in Haoyue Hall, Luo Wudi was obviously on Mi Shuhua's side.

 Now that Mi Shuhua supports himself, it does not mean that Mi Shuhua's vassals also support him.

He looked cold and said, "Yes, we must divide the work. I know that some of you are here to learn alchemy. So do you know what it takes to train an orthodox alchemist in a sect?"

At this question, everyone's eyes darkened.

Just when Luo Chen was about to fool him, a soft voice came out.

“Know medicines, be familiar with fires, read hundreds of classics, study elixir prescriptions, master techniques, and then slowly start with low-level elixirs, until you can refine middle-grade elixirs and above, then you can get involved in other elixirs.”

Luo Chen frowned slightly, and when he glanced over, he found that the speaker's face was pale, but his expression remained calm under his gaze.

 It’s a grain of rice!

 The daughter of Mi Junping and the granddaughter of Mi Shuhua.

 Forget it, I can’t afford to offend this guy, I can’t afford to offend him!

 He doesn’t know what the other person’s status is in the family.

  But since he was sent to Dantang, he still has to give him the face he deserves.

 He cleared his throat, "Yes, Miss Mi is right."

Hands behind his back, Luo Chen paced in front of the crowd.

“This is true for all sects, let alone you people who have no experience in alchemy.”

“Therefore, dividing labor and cooperating in alchemy refining and focusing on a certain thing is what you need most and can only do at the moment.”

After saying this, no one raised any objection.

 After all, Luo Chen is the master of the Alchemy Hall!

Without saying a word, Luo Chen directly divided the thirty-man team into teams of five, for a total of six teams.

One team is responsible for processing several auxiliary materials, another team is responsible for processing other auxiliary materials, and the next two teams are responsible for processing one main material.

 The remaining two teams are all responsible for familiarizing themselves with fire control. When the time comes, the ten of them will take turns in the three alchemy rooms.

Perhaps you can consider finding a time to bring up a firework team leader?

“You all must become familiar with the raw materials of Bigu Pill and Zhongmiao Pill as soon as possible. Then, follow the method I gave you to carry out special processing.”

“In addition, I don’t want you to rush to understand the situation of other teams before you are familiar with the area you are responsible for. That will slow down your progress.”

"Perhaps you will think that I am preventing you from going further, but if you do, don't blame me for not predicting what I said."

 After speaking, he waved to the outside world.

Gu Caiyi led a group of people and delivered all the medicinal materials he asked for.

“This is the most common ginseng. It is cultivated artificially and grows ten years ago. It contains very little spiritual power, but it is an important auxiliary material for many low-level elixirs.”

“Therefore, there are various treatment methods. I will teach you two first. You guys, follow me into the pharmacy!”

 Five people followed Luo Chen into the room happily.

 The remaining people stood outside, whispering for a while.

 In the crowd, Mi Liliu Ye frowned slightly, with a bit of confusion on his pale face.

  The orthodox process is exactly what the hall master said.

 But, is it necessary to divide it so finely?

 …

is it necessary?

Luo Chen said, of course it is necessary!

I won’t break it down in detail. If you learn it all once, you will have almost learned all the prerequisite steps before making alchemy.

If you can get the ratio of medicinal materials for each furnace of elixir, learn the corresponding alchemy techniques.

 In this way, if you fail dozens of times, you may succeed.

 At that time, why do you still need me as the top alchemist of the Poshan Gang?

 Luo Chen is creating artificial barriers to knowledge.

Even if someone in the future deliberately brings this group of people together and brings together all kinds of knowledge, it will definitely take a lot of effort.

Even after he understood it, Luo Chen still planned to do some tricks on the details of the alchemy later.

 In a word, he didn’t want to teach his disciples and starve himself to death.

 …

 It took Luo Chen five days in total to teach these people to learn the corresponding skills individually.

 It doesn’t sound like much, but some people are already anxious.

 Mi Shuhua specifically asked Sikong Shoujia to ask him when he started refining Zhongmiao Pills.

After all, with so many monks spending time in the Alchemy Hall, the gang also needs to give them spiritual stones!

After Luo Chen had an in-depth understanding of the situation of the Poshan Gang, he also understood that unlike the combat halls, most of the logistics halls were paid dead wages, and there were usually no bonuses.

The battle hall is different, the income depends entirely on the harvest.

 When there are heavy casualties or huge gains, there are often high rewards.

 So most of the monks who can fight are in the three battle halls and Wang Yuan's Jiao Hall.

In response to Sikong Shoujia's probing, Luo Chen only said, "No need to worry, no need to worry!"

Of course he is not in a hurry. After he trains these people to become proficient in their skills, his subsequent alchemy work will become easier.

 Five days later.

Mi Shuhua came to the Alchemy Hall in person.

Luo Chen no longer delayed and immediately ordered his men to start refining the elixir.

 The three alchemy rooms began to emit hot steam again, and the Light Smoke Shuyu Building started to operate again.

 Watching Luo Chen wandering between the three alchemy rooms, instructing the monks and dispensing medicinal materials, Mi Shuhua's anxiety finally relaxed a little.

"grandfather."

"Um."

Mi Shuhua didn't turn his head and asked calmly: "Have you learned anything under the leadership of Hall Master Luochen these days?"

Mi Li said softly: "He is extremely skilled in handling the two kinds of elixirs, far better than the alchemists hired by the family before."

Mi Shuhua shook his head, "Those alchemists can only make low-grade elixirs, so naturally they are not as good as Luo Chen."

Mi Li thought for a while, "The hall master is also very experienced in controlling the temperature of the fire."

 “That’s not what I asked!”

"He didn't say anything else, and he didn't allow us medicine practitioners to watch."

 “Medicine disciple?” Mi Shuhua was a little curious about this title.

Mi Li immediately replied, "Currently, within the Dan Hall, there are two types of work: medicine apprentices and pyrotechnics. The specific work can be known as the name suggests."

 After hearing these words, Mi Shuhua couldn't help but frown.

 After thinking about it for a moment, he raised his eyebrows.

 “You go in and watch!”

Mi Li raised his head, hesitant.

 But under Mi Shuhua's firm gaze, she finally stepped into the alchemy room where Luo Chen was busy.

 In the alchemy room.

 Luo Chen immediately noticed the person coming in.

He looked directly over, his eyes cold, and he didn't say a word.

 The woman froze in place.

The fireman watching the fire also held his breath.

 For a time, there was no movement in the alchemy room except the crackling of the burning green steel wood and the beeping in the alchemy furnace.

Outside the Danwai room, Mi Shuhua is naturally watching this place all the time.

 He raised his eyebrows at first, then frowned, and finally took a deep breath.

 A message was sent in.

“Xiaomi Li is the most gifted person in my family for alchemy, please let her watch.”

 “This is how I eat!”

"she…"

 “No, unless...add a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill every month!”

 …

 …

 Can you learn skills by watching someone make alchemy?

 The answer to this question depends on different people’s opinions.

For those with outstanding talents, perhaps just a small trick, a single output of spiritual power can allow them to draw parallels and even comprehend something.

 But for the vast majority of people who don’t have much talent in alchemy, it is difficult to understand anything even if they watch it ten times or a hundred times.

 Especially those who do not have a solid foundation in alchemy.

Luo Chen's current proficiency in refining Zhongmiao Pills has already reached the perfect level, and the elixirs produced are at least mid-grade.

 In other words, his alchemy attainments in the elixir Zhongmiaowan can be considered to be at the level of a first-time master.

 His methods are completely different from those in the entry-level stage.

Mi Li is now concentrating on observing his techniques. Even if he can learn something, it will be enough to refine the middle-grade Zhongmiao Pills.

Then the question is, after learning these things, can she directly refine the middle-grade elixir?

 The answer is no.

 Because, she had to start with the lower grade Zhongmiaowan. As for the various techniques for refining low-grade Zhongmiao Pills, Luo Chen had already simplified them as his proficiency continued to increase.

Without those relatively basic techniques, it would be impossible for rice grains to refine middle-grade or even low-grade Zhongmiaowan in a lifetime.

 That's why Luo Chen actually didn't worry about his cooking skills being stolen by others.

  But with this name, it is definitely impossible for him to let it go.

 One bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill every month, he got this wool again!

 …

 At any rate, it is an advanced elixir. The refining time of Zhongmiao Pill is much longer than that of Bigu Powder.

 It took a full morning before the refining work in the three alchemy rooms was completed.

 Under Mi Shuhua's gaze, Luo Chen pushed everyone away and began his personal work of collecting elixirs.

 In the alchemy room, Luo Chen looked solemn, used the traction technique, and opened the furnace lid.

 Low-grade Ziyun Bronze Furnace, with ten pills, seven of which are medium-grade, and three of which are low-grade.

 Luo Chen was very satisfied. This was the result of his deliberate control.

  If he were left to do it by himself, it would be normal for all of them to be of medium quality.

“Although he has blocked out other people, Mi Shuhua’s spiritual consciousness can only watch here secretly.”

 “But I don’t need to show off deliberately.”

 “As it should be, so it shall be!”

 Go out of the door and open the copper furnace in another alchemy room.

 The smell of burnt husks spread instantly.

Luo Chen shook his head, not feeling annoyed at all.

 Even if you are promoted to perfect level of proficiency, there is no guarantee of 100% success.

 Today, his success rate is about 40%.

 This is already very high.

 According to the experience of Bigu San, the success rate of each stage is almost fixed.

 The entry level is 10%, the proficiency level is 20%, the master level is 30%, and the perfect level is around 40%.

 By the time you reach the master level, your success rate will be stable at around half.

 As for the 100% success rate?

Luo Chen has never thought about it. There is a saying among alchemists that the higher the level of the elixir, the lower the success rate.

Even the rumored Zhongzhou Alchemy Sage can easily refine low-level elixirs into top-grade ones. But when it comes to third-level and fourth-level elixirs, there are occasional mistakes.

In Luo Chen's view, as long as the success rate is more than half, the profit will be extremely terrifying with the high profit of the elixir!

 Mi Shuhua outside, when he realized that the furnace had failed, frowned subconsciously.

That means that the raw materials of the five spiritual stones were wasted in this way.

But after Luo Chen opened the lid of the middle-grade alchemy cauldron and the aroma filled the air, his brows relaxed completely.

 Carrying a large wooden tray, Luo Chen walked out of the alchemy room.

“I’m lucky this time. I have achieved 30 pills. Most of them are in the middle grade, and a few are in the lower grade.”

 “Live up to your trust!”

 He handed the wooden plate to the rice grains next to him, clapped his hands, and looked unconcerned.

 The woman, who had always been pale, had a flush on her face at this moment.

 It’s exciting!

 Three alchemy rooms, four raw materials, three successes!

  Among them, the rate of pill formation ensures that more than half of them are of middle grade.

 What does this mean?

 Meaning that Luo Chen is already a genuine first-level alchemist, and he is also one of the best, he can be called an elite!

If Luo Chen can guarantee that every pill will be of medium quality, and produce one or two top quality pills, he can be called a master of alchemy in this field of medicine!

Of course, the world of immortality has never been divided in such detail.

 The so-called alchemy master is someone who can at least refine third-level elixirs.

 No one will measure their level by their achievements in a certain elixir.

When Mi Shuhua saw his granddaughter's excitement, he knew that Luo Chen's alchemy skills had impressed her.

 As for himself, what he calculates is the profit inside.

How many spiritual stones can be sold for thirty pills?

 “Luo Chen, you did a great job!”

Luo Chen curled his lips and waved his hands, "Today is a good start, but it doesn't mean that we will be so lucky every time in the future."

 “Haha, I believe you the most.”

"By the way, I don't have enough manpower yet, please bring me a few more mid-term monks." Luo Chen said.

 “Isn’t it enough?” Mi Shuhua was surprised.

Luo Chen pointed to the elixir on the plate, "After the elixir is completed, there is still a period of precipitation of the medicinal properties. That period is very important. The elixir may lose its potency due to the external environment. We need such a group of people. , take care of him at all times.”

Mi Li also echoed, "That's right, Grandpa. The Qing Yuan Dan Jie mentioned similar details."

Mi Shuhua suddenly realized, "I remembered that many elixirs are not well preserved, and as time goes by, they will even fall into grade."

 After explaining this, Mi Shuhua was not stingy.

 Immediately tell Gu Caiyi to go to the medicine hall and send a few more monks over.

 “Okay, let’s disperse!”

Luo Chen yawned, "I've been busy all morning, so I'm going to take a nap. Lunch will be delivered to my door later."

Looking at his lazy look, Mi Shuhua couldn't help but said: "Aren't you going to continue practicing?"

Luo Chen stared at him and said, "Gang leader, I am a human being, not a puppet. I will be tired. I don't even have spiritual consciousness now. I have to keep an eye on three alchemy rooms at the same time. Do you think I can hold on?"

 “And if I don’t rest, won’t they?”

Following Luo Chen's pointing, Mi Shuhua discovered that the monks responsible for watching the fire also looked tired at this moment.

Even a few older female nuns had red faces and were sweating profusely.

"Besides, the alchemy furnace can't hold up!" Luo Chen curled his lips, "Two low-grade magic weapons and one medium-grade alchemy cauldron cannot support alchemy refining all the time. Unless, you get me a magic weapon alchemy furnace, or The best alchemy furnace is here.”

Mi Shuhua smiled bitterly, "Then you'd better go and rest!"

 Are you kidding me, Magical Pill Furnace?

 He himself doesn’t even have a natal magic weapon.

Among the top-quality magical artifacts that were most handy, there was a Zihe Taoist robe, which was destroyed by Qin Liangchen on the Taoist forum.

 …

When he came out to get lunch, Luo Chen realized that Mi Shuhua had left Xieyue Valley.

 It’s good to leave. As long as he is here, you will be helpless in doing anything.

Luo Chen glanced at his lunch and couldn't help but grin.

“Hey, the food is good, it’s all spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables, and the meat is all the meat of first-order monster beasts.”

 The treatment provided to him by the Poshan Gang is definitely the best!

 Even better than several other hall masters.

 After all, Luo Chen will be the cash cow of the Poshan Gang in the future, so of course he must provide for him well.

 Pour all the food into a big bowl, and it’s a rice bowl!

Luo Chen took out the green gourd from the storage bag and hung it on his waist.

 Then while eating, he wandered around the alchemy hall to see what was lacking in his three-thirds of an acre of land.

After watching it for a while, I had an idea in my mind, and then I leisurely left the alchemy hall while cooking.

 Slowly along the gravel road previously paved with slag, we arrived at the Xianyue Valley.

Several huge stone houses are built one after another under the mountain wall in the valley.

 These are the offices of the medicine hall.

 At noon, there were relatively few people, but some monks could also be seen, still busy turning the herbs over so that they could be fully dried.

 When he found Murong Qinglian, he was writing and drawing something.

“Sister-in-law, are you busy?”

Murong Qinglian raised her head and glanced at him, furious.

 “You have the nerve to come over.”

 “What’s wrong?” Luo Chen stopped his chopsticks with a puzzled look on his face.

Murong Qinglian said helplessly: "Look, in the past few days, your Alchemy Hall has taken away many people from the Medicine Hall. As a result, we don't have enough manpower now."

 Is there another one like this?

Luo Chen didn’t expect it.

But looking at Murong Qinglian's appearance, she wasn't really angry with him.

“I am busy selecting suitable monks from the peripheral gangs. These are their life experiences, and I want to choose relatively innocent ones.”

Murong Qinglian pointed to the pile of bamboo slips and books on the table.

 Get it, it’s just a resume!

“Although things in the medicine hall are complicated, they are safe. Therefore, there are still many monks in the gang who want to work here.”

Murong Qinglian explained.

As she spoke, she accidentally glanced at Luo Chen's large bowl of rice bowl.

“Huo, your food and treatment are so good. People who don’t know better would think you are eating spiritual stones!”

“That’s right, I’m a cash cow for the Poshan Gang. If you don’t give me top-notch treatment, who will give it to me!”

 Luo Chen put his hands on his hips, feeling proud.

I have to say that I decided to join the Poshan Gang and become the master of this alchemy hall.

 At first he felt a little aggrieved, but after he truly enjoyed all the benefits, he felt that this decision was the most correct one!

 There is no need to worry about food and drink, and there are bodyguards on the way to and from get off work.

 There is no need to purchase raw materials and process them yourself.

 Once those medicine practitioners and fire masters are trained, it will be easier for him to make alchemy.

Moreover, the current salary of four bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills per month is so delicious.

 “However, it’s still not enough!”

Greedy Luo Chen will not be satisfied just like this.

The Poshan Gang has a great business, and as a foundation-building monk, Mi Shuhua is even more wealthy.

 You have to find a way to gather more wool!

 “How to collect it?”

Shuo Shuluochen's eyes started to roll around.
