For Luo Chen, besides refining pills, he spent most of his time cultivating.
Even though progress was somewhat slow, it all depended on the comparison!
If he compared himself to those Rogue Cultivators who were short of cultivation resources, Luo Chen’s cultivation speed was as fast as a Golden Core Sword Cultivator riding a rainbow!
After all, all things considered, with progress of one rank a day, he could break through to the Eighth Level Qi Refinement within three or four months.
Even the most talented ones in the sect were only so.
When it came to pill refinement, Luo Chen started to allow others to assist him after becoming familiar with the Four Symbols Tripod.
With this, his operation was fully expanded.
The Four Symbols Tripod could refine four sets of raw materials at a time.
The Xuanyun Tripod could refine two sets of raw materials at a time.
The Purple Cloud Bronze Furnace, one set!
In one morning, he could simultaneously refine seven sets of Jade Marrow Pills; if he included the afternoon, that would mean fourteen sets a day!
Considering a forty percent success rate, it would result in at least one hundred Jade Marrow Pills a day.
Why not more than a hundred?
The surplus naturally went into Luo Chen’s pocket quietly.
Even though Luo Chen intentionally controlled the production rate of Medium Grade Jade Marrow Pills, after five days, his proficiency had risen to Grandmaster Level.
At Grandmaster Level proficiency, not only was the success rate as high as fifty percent, but he could also refine Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills.
Moreover, the potency was as good as a regular Lower Grade Qi Nurturing Pill!
Of course, Luo Chen was strictly controlling the birth of Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills.
Under his strong control, every Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pill produced would directly enter his storage bag when he was collecting the pills.
The benefits of Grandmaster Level proficiency didn’t stop there!
Having gained a lot of extra experience, Luo Chen became more adept at controlling the quality of the elixir, reaching the level he had with the Allure Pill.
Not only that, but after imparting some lower-end techniques to the Medicine Disciples and Fire Workers, he became a lot more relaxed and less fatigued.
A month later!
In the Pill Hall, inside the Pill Cultivation Room.
Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi were nervously counting the number of Jade Marrow Pills.
Each set of Jade Marrow Pills, once refined, would be stored in the Pill Cultivation Room by a dedicated Pill Cultivation Expert, where they were bottled according to their order and production time, and stored systematically.
Therefore, the count was extremely smooth.
In just a minute or two, Sikong Shoujia’s excited voice could be heard.
“Two hundred and eighty bottles of Lower Grade Jade Marrow Pills!”
“One hundred and twenty bottles of Medium Grade Jade Marrow Pills!”
What did this mean?
Lower Grade Jade Marrow Pills, priced by the Broken Mountain Gang at ten spirit stones a bottle.
Medium Grade Jade Marrow Pills, priced by the Broken Mountain Gang at fifty spirit stones a bottle, could be sold separately.
Anyone with some brains could calculate how much these batches of pills from the Pill Cultivation Room could sell for.
Eight thousand eight hundred spirit stones!
After reaching this number, Sikong Shoujia looked at Luo Chen, who was leaning against the wall behind him, with a changed expression.
Gu Caiyi swallowed, Luo Chen once again shattered her world view.
Were Pill Refiners really so lucrative?
“Why are you looking at me?”
“Have the Guard Team come and escort the pills to the shop!”
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, turned around and left, seemingly uninterested in the huge profits.
After he left, Sikong Shoujia and Gu Caiyi exchanged glances.
Since when did Luo Chen become so indifferent to spirit stones?
Was Luo Chen indifferent?
Of course not, after this batch of pills sold, he would get a twenty percent share.
The reason why he appeared so indifferent was that he felt a sense of regret.
A regret that if he did not have so many restrictions and had a stronger background, he could have been unrestrained in his pill refinement.
Then the amount laid before him in the Pill Cultivation Room would not be just over four hundred bottles of Lower and Medium Grade Jade Marrow Pills.
He could have refined most of them into Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills!
As for the price of Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills, although Mi Shuhua hadn’t announced it, it was definitely close to the price of Qi Nurturing Pills at the Spirit Medicine Hall.
What did that represent?
It represented tens of thousands of spirit stones!
“Such a pity, I must hide my skills, otherwise Mi Shuhua alone won’t be able to protect me.”
After a moment of regret, Luo Chen was still somewhat excited.
Although he couldn’t take out and sell the Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills he refined, he could secretly keep some Ascendant Grade ones for his own use!
The Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pill had a potency equal to the Lower Grade Qi Nurturing Pill.
He couldn’t take Qi Nurturing Pills anymore due to drug tolerance.
But Jade Marrow Pills, had no such tolerance!
Moreover, Luo Chen discovered through half a month’s usage that Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pills no longer had the side effect of Dantian Jade Formation!
That meant he could again indulge in pill cultivation unchecked.
Reaching the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement was just around the corner!
Before leaving work, Luo Chen gathered all the inner cultivators.
Facing dozens of pairs of eyes, Luo Chen was not flustered.
With his hands behind his back, he strolled leisurely back and forth before them.
“I believe everyone has heard, more or less, about the achievements in pill refinement this month.”
“This is not just my credit, but also the result of everyone’s efforts.”
“I can’t promise much, but I will definitely petition the Gang Leader for improved treatment for everyone once the Pill Hall’s profits go up, as long as you all cooperate well in pill refinement.”
“All right, that’s all I have to say. It’s time to get off work!”
After he finished, he waved his arms and left without causing a stir.
Behind him, enthusiastic cheers rang out.
Among them, the old cultivator Qu Hancheng was the loudest, leading a group of Fire Workers, yelling “Long live the Hall Master.”
The others were also infected and joined in, singing praises for Luo Chen.
Was it normal for a group of cultivators to react this way?
Actually, it was very normal!
Because, whether working in the Sect Shop or in a Gang, the wages of most inner cultivators were fixed..
