I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

Chapter 14



Chapter 14

In the middle hall of the Pharmacist Valley, at the disciples’ assessment venue.

“Junior Brother Lu, you can refine your pills here.”

Bai Dafei led Lu Yuan to an empty pill furnace that was different from the ordinary pill furnace outside the hall.

The pill furnace was not only larger, but the patterns on it were also more complicated. With one look, one could tell that it was a high-grade product.

As if noticing Lu Yuan’s interest in the pill furnace, Bai Dafei, who was standing at the side, laughed, “It seems like you have never come into contact with the threaded pill furnace before.”

“The threaded pill furnace?”

Bai Dafei walked to the pill furnace and pointed at the spiral patterns in it, “The threaded pill furnace is actually a special pill furnace made by the senior brothers of Qingyun Sect’s Alchemist Valley. Most pill furnaces are only made of well-tempered steel. Although the hardness is okay, their effect of guiding spiritual energy is very ordinary. A normal furnace can only transmit 50% of the spiritual energy poured into it, and the accuracy is not high.”

“In contrast, the threaded pill furnace can transmit about 80% of the spiritual energy, and the control over spiritual energy is also two to three times that of a normal pill furnace. Junior Brother Lu, hearing this, you should understand the difference between the threaded pill furnace and an ordinary pill furnace, as well as the importance of a good pill furnace to a pharmacist.”

Stop. The senior brother should pay attention to his character setting!

He was a cultivator from a celestial cultivation world. How could he talk about “efficiency” and “transmission”? These are all scientific terms! It wasn’t very celestial-like!

In fact, even if Bai Dafei did not say all this, Lu Yuan had also more or less realized the importance of the pill furnace.

This was because, in his previous pill refinements, he had vaguely discovered that it was very difficult for him to increase the success rate of his pill refinement through his operations.

Previously, when he was using an ordinary pill furnace, he had discovered many times that there was a certain delay in his pill refinement operations.

A large portion of the spiritual energy he poured into the pill furnace would go missing.

At that time, he had thought that it was because his skill proficiency was not high enough, which led to the waste of a lot of spiritual energy.

However, after many improvements in his operations, Lu Yuan realized that the problem was not with him but with the pill furnace.

It was because the transmission efficiency of the pill furnace was not high enough, which led to the waste of a large amount of spiritual energy.

And this problem… He had no way to solve it.

However, this was a problem that only people like Lu Yuan, who pursued “perfection”, would face.

The average disciple’s pill refinement success rate would not be affected by the furnace.

Lu Yuan, who knew how important the pill furnace was, could not help but think as he looked at the threaded pill furnace that if he had previously used this kind of pill furnace to refine pills, his success rate would have increased by a lot!

At the thought of this, Lu Yuan’s heart ached.

That was because what he lost were treasured medicinal pills.

“Alright, Junior Brother Lu. Regarding the threaded pill furnace, the Pharmacist Valley will give you one for free when you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage or can refine Foundation Establishment Stage pills. Now, you should hurry up and refine your pills. Although I think highly of you, I won’t be lenient during the assessment.”

Hearing Bai Dafei’s words, Lu Yuan nodded and walked to the threaded pill furnace.

The content of the assessment was very simple. He had to refine a total of 15 elementary cultivation pills in three attempts.

To Lu Yuan, this was not a difficult task at all.

[Elementary Cultivation Pill]

[Flame Temperature: 0%]

[Degree of Refinement: 0%]

[Degree of Fusion: 0%]

[Luck Value: 0 (+)]

[Current Success Rate: 10%]

He hadn’t even started doing anything yet, but his success rate was already at 10%.

Lu Yuan sighed with emotion. Having good equipment really made a difference.

Compared to the threaded pill furnace in front of him, the pill furnaces in the hall outside were all trash!

After retorting, Lu Yuan collected his thoughts and began to refine the elementary cultivation pill.

In this one month’s time, Lu Yuan had already refined several tens of elementary cultivation pills. He could be said to be an experienced veteran in this aspect.

He prepared the pill furnace, lit the fire, added the medicinal ingredients, refined them, extracted the medicinal essences, and fused them…

The procedures were completed smoothly by Lu Yuan in a manner that was pleasing to the eye.

While Lu Yuan was concentrating on his pill refinement, Bai Dafei was secretly scoring his Pill Refinement Technique.

Although the Pharmacist Valley’s outer sect assessment this time was based on the final success rate of pill refinement, in reality, due to the difficulty of pill refinement and the fact that there were not many disciples who had the ability to do so, as well as to increase the acceptance rate, there was actually an invisible standard for the outer sect assessment, which was to give marks according to the process.

If the final score passed, even if the examinee did not refine enough pills in the end, he would still be considered to have passed the assessment.

However, Pharmacist Valley did not tell the disciples who were taking the assessment about this hidden mechanism.

The person in charge of giving Lu Yuan a score was none other than Bai Dafei.

It had to be said that some sects looked very antique, shrouded in celestial mist, and had the style of celestial.

However, putting aside the appearance and looking at the essence, this so-called sect was more advanced in many aspects than many modern companies in the technology world, including the aspects of “monopoly”, “employee incentive system”, “employee training system”, “performance evaluation”, and so on.

Really, this place should not be called Qingyun Sect anymore. It should be renamed Qingyun Co., Ltd.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, who was focused on refining pills, naturally did not know about the hidden assessment.

Even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

Slowly, Lu Yuan’s refinement of the elementary cultivation pills came to an end.

[Elementary Cultivation pill]

[Flame Temperature: 80%]

[Degree of Refinement: 70%]

[Degree of Fusion: 50%]

[Luck Value: 100 (+)]

[Current Success Rate: 110%]

Although this was not the first time Lu Yuan had refined the elementary cultivation pills, this was the first time he had done so with a success rate of over 100%.

He could not understand the luck value.

Why could the success rate exceed 100% and have an extra 10%?

Would the final result of 10 pills become 11?

Putting aside the strange 110% success rate, Lu Yuan was very satisfied with his pill refinement this time.

He felt that this was the best he had been in a long time.

After two hours…

Thump!

As Lu Yuan closed the lid of the pill furnace, his pill refinement of the elementary cultivation pill could be considered to have come to an end.

All that was left was to wait for the cultivation pill to cool down and condense.

At this step, it was considered a complete pill refinement process.

At the same time, Bai Dafei, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

This was because he realized that this junior brother of his seemed to be even more skilled than him in refining the elementary cultivation pill.

One should know that he was a direct disciple of the Pharmacist Valley!

Bai Dafei walked to Lu Yuan’s side and could not help but ask, “Junior Brother Lu, did you learn the art of pill refinement when you were in the mortal world?”

Lu Yuan shook his head, “No, I haven’t. I only started to learn pill refinement in the month since I came to the Pharmacist Valley.”

“One, one month?!”

Upon hearing that Lu Yuan had only learned pill refinement for a month, Bai Dafei could no longer hold back his shock.

My God, how could he have such mastery in pill refinement in just a month?

However, when he saw Lu Yuan’s serious expression, Bai Dafei felt that the latter wasn’t lying.

In fact, he knew very well that it was useless even if Lu Yuan lied.

This was because Lu Yuan’s past experiences in pill refinement were all recorded by the sect. A simple comparison would give anyone who read his files a rough idea.

All in all, this junior brother of his had probably only studied pill refinement for just a month before having such terrifying pill refinement skills.

My God, this is a monster!

Even though he was envious, Bai Dafei still rationally gave Lu Yuan full marks for his Pill Refinement Technique.

He didn’t deliberately twist the truth because of his envy.

The grading of the Pill Refinement Technique had already ended. Now, he only needed to look at the finished pills in the pill furnace and he would be able to make a final judgment on Lu Yuan.

Although the pill furnace had not been opened yet, Bai Dafei had a feeling that the pills in the pill furnace were most probably perfect.

He wasn’t saying this with no basis. This was the intuition of an experienced pharmacist who had been refining pills for years.

The pill refinement this time would definitely yield a great harvest!

Finally, after Lu Yuan judged that the embryo pills had finished condensing, he opened the pill furnace.

The next second, a strong golden light was emitted from the pill furnace.

Let alone Bai Dafei, even Lu Yuan himself was stunned.

He had seen glowing dishes, but he had never seen a glowing pill!

Had he taken the wrong script?
