Lin Dongjiu didn't wake up until noon the next day.
He subconsciously glanced at the dining table, only to find that there was nothing on the table.
Ling'er didn't come today?
Lin Dongjiu scratched his head. Being fed by Mu Ling'er every day had made him a habit. Ling'er's absence today made him wonder if Ling'er hadn't gotten over Chen Yi's incident yet.
It seems that the therapy needs to be continued for another course...
"Squeak!"
Lin Dongjiu got dressed and was thinking about whether to go to Ling'er's residence to see her when the door of the house was pushed open.
It was Mu Ling'er who came in. She was holding a lunch box in her hand, sweat dripping down her forehead, and panting:
"I'm sorry, junior brother, I went out to do some errands this morning and I just came back not long ago... You must be hungry, come and eat!"
"Sister, if you are busy, you don't need to bring me food. I can do it myself."
Lin Dongjiu was a little embarrassed, so he quickly stood up and took the lunch box, put it on the table and opened it. He saw that the food was still steaming hot.
This little girl... Lin Dongjiu was moved and couldn't help but ask:
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"I'm not busy with anything, I just went to the Bounty Hall this morning..."
Mu Linger's face turned slightly red and she hesitated in her answer.
"What are you doing in the Bounty Hall?"
Lin Dongjiu was stunned. The Bounty Hall is the entrance where the sect distributes tasks. If the disciples in the sect are short of money, they can go to the Bounty Hall to receive the mission. After completing the mission, they can get the bounty.
Just like the disciples who participated in the food protection mission before, they were the missions they accepted in the Bounty Hall.
Mu Linger lowered her head and whispered:
"It's nothing, I just went to see if there are any simpler tasks to earn some pocket money."
"Is it really just to make pocket money?"
Lin Dongjiu didn't believe it and asked with a frown.
In my impression, Mu Ling'er has always been a housekeeper, and she is never seen playing with rouge or gouache. Even the clothes she wears are the same style that she hasn't changed in several years.
Apart from buying some daily necessities, Lin Dongjiu had never seen Mu Ling'er buy anything for herself, but sometimes she would secretly give spiritual stones to her junior brother for training.
Lin Dongjiu knew that Xianyunfeng was very poor, and he also knew that Mu Linger had put a lot of care into this family.
If Ling'er really wants to make money by taking bounty tasks, it only means that she is not trying to make pocket money, but is really short of money.
"Well... Xianyunfeng's finances have always been big... Chen Yi took over. When buying daily necessities, you need to report to him and get the money, and then..."
Mu Linger didn't dare to look at Lin Dongjiu, so she could only tell the truth.
Sigh... Lin Dongjiu sighed slightly in his heart. He took out a storage bag and put it in Mu Ling'er's hand, saying with some distress:
"Senior sister, there are five high-grade spiritual stones here. You can spend them first. If you don't have enough, I won't ask for them. Don't go to the Bounty Hall anymore."
Mu Ling'er was surprised: "Junior brother...where did you get so many spiritual stones?"
"Don't worry, senior sister, we are here from the right side."
Lin Dongjiu shrugged and explained:
"I made a new friend, his name is He Qing. He is nice, but his brain is not very good. He lost a bet with me, so he gave me five high-grade spiritual stones."
Mu Ling'er was more excited than he thought. She didn't even ask in detail, she just covered her mouth and said:
"Junior brother, you have made friends!"
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
Lin Dongjiu could only nodded.
After lunch, Mu Linger went back full of joy because her junior brother had made new friends. Lin Dongjiu was left alone, lying down on the bed.
"No, Xianyunfeng is too poor. It seems that we have to find a way to make some money..."
Lin Dongjiu felt distressed when he thought of Mu Linger's busy schedule, so he flipped through the "Encyclopedia of Immortal Cultivation" in his mind to see if there was anything that came to Qian Daoer.
"Found it!"
There is a page in the "Encyclopedia of Immortality" that details the five most profitable professions in the world of immortality:
Among them, the most respected and profitable industry is undoubtedly the alchemist, because no matter how big or small the immortal cultivator is, he may not need the weapons forged by the weapon refiner, the formations arranged by the array master, or the weapons refined by the spell master.
For spells, you don’t even need a doctor to see you, but you need to take the alchemist’s elixir to assist in your practice.
This is not the main reason for making money. The most profitable part is that the profit of an alchemist refining an elixir is at least ten times the cost!
Take the Foundation Establishment Pill as an example. The market price generally sells for 3 high-grade spiritual stones. Its raw materials are Qingyang grass and Wu Nianhua. You can refine it for about 500 low-grade spiritual stones with these raw materials.
In this way, even if only 2 pills are produced in one furnace, you can still make about 10 times the profit after removing the cost!
Although everyone knows that the profession of alchemist is very profitable, there are very few people who engage in the profession of alchemist, and those who can achieve something are even rarer.
Because becoming an alchemist requires talent extremely, and you cannot improve by accumulating skills over time. Some people may not even be able to learn the simplest control of alchemy fire after ten years of training.
Moreover, in the world of alchemy, there are four levels of alchemists: spiritual alchemist, mysterious alchemist, alchemy king, and alchemy master.
Each level is divided into nine levels. Just like an alchemist who can refine foundation-building pills, his level can correspond to a fifth-level spiritual level alchemist.
With his goal clear, Lin Dongjiu planned to become an alchemist, so he skillfully opened the system mall and started looking for books on alchemy.
"System, please recommend me a book on alchemy for beginners. It should be cheap, simple to operate, and preferably one that saves time and effort."
There were hundreds of books on alchemy in the mall. Lin Dongjiu read for a long time but didn't know which one was suitable for him, so he simply asked the system.
"The system recommends "The Lazy Man's Alchemy". After learning this alchemy, you don't even need the host to make the elixir yourself. You can have the alchemy furnace automatically refine the elixir for the host. It is very suitable for the host's requirements."
"So magical? Can the alchemy furnace make alchemy on its own? Then this "Lazy Man's Alchemy Technique"...is it...reliable?"
Lin Dongjiu heard that this name was not serious. Even Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace requires the attention of an alchemy boy. How can a small alchemy technique allow the alchemy furnace to automatically refine elixirs?
He even suspected that the system was maliciously teasing him.
"It's not a question of whether it's reliable or not. It can simplify many steps of elixir refining, compress the time to produce elixirs, and improve the quality of elixirs. As long as the alchemist has enough spiritual power, it doesn't even matter how many times the elixir furnace is made automatically!
And now at the special sale price in the mall, you only need 80 attention points, and you can easily take it home! If you buy it now, you will also receive a copy of "The Prescriptions of All Worlds", which records the formulas of more than 100,000 kinds of elixirs!"
"Then I bought it, so don't cheat me."
Lin Dongjiu clicked the purchase button with hesitation, and the smell of advertising and marketing in the system was too strong to avoid making him suspicious.
"Congratulations to the host for receiving "Lazy Man's Alchemy" x 1 and "All Worlds Alchemy" x 1!"
Lin Dongjiu flipped through "The Alchemy of the Lazy Man". There was very little content recorded in it, and there was only one alchemy technique that ran through it all, the Cloud-Splitting Alchemy Hand;
There are also some unique techniques, which after careful reading can indeed simplify the complex alchemy steps to the extreme. As the system says, there is no need for an alchemist to make the elixir himself.
But Lin Dongjiu, who was born as a programmer, could see the principle of automatic alchemy at a glance.
It's very simple. The alchemist inserts magic into the alchemy furnace, just like writing down a series of procedures and then letting the alchemy furnace execute them.
However, the magic art requires the alchemist to use spiritual power to maintain it, so that the magic art will not slowly disappear.
But writing down the procedure seems simple, but in fact no alchemist can complete it without the cooperation of Fenyunhua Danshou.
In his opinion, the magic method of allowing the alchemy furnace to automatically refine alchemy happens to be the biggest highlight of "The Lazy Man's Alchemy".
After tens of thousands of years in the world of cultivation, alchemy techniques have been improved more and more perfectly in the hands of alchemists, but who among the alchemists in the world has invented this method that allows the alchemy furnace to automatically refine alchemy?
Every time an alchemist refines a furnace of elixirs, he must stay in front of the furnace conscientiously, for fear that a slight distraction may cause the furnace to explode, otherwise all efforts will be wasted.
But if only spiritual power is needed to refine the elixir, it will save the alchemist a lot of time and energy.
The time and energy saved will be enough for the alchemist to practice a few more batches of elixirs, and the efficiency of alchemy will increase exponentially!
What Lin Dongjiu is most proud of is that this technology makes it possible to mass-produce elixirs. A large amount of elixirs can be refined in a short period of time, which means that it is possible to make a lot of money!
I didn’t expect that the system would actually sell something like this that would subvert the entire industry. I couldn’t help but sigh:
So delicious!
However, in a short period of time, Lin Dongjiu only wanted to earn spiritual stones through alchemy to support his family, but he did not think too far ahead.
But if there is a chance in the future, he would not mind making a lot of money from it!
A more reliable idea is to build an elixir factory first, purchase hundreds of alchemy furnaces to make machine tools, then hire hundreds of monks to use their spiritual power to refine elixirs, and finally set up a store to sell elixirs.
However, just wanting to open a factory on his own is tantamount to wishful thinking. The interests involved in the alchemy industry are too terrifying. Without a huge backer, the giants in the industry will only swallow up the scum.
Unless... it might be feasible to set up the factory in Luoxia Sect and let a huge sect machine like Luoxia Sect serve as his backer.
If this "front shop and back factory" model operates, the Luoxia Sect's ability to attract money will exceed everyone's imagination!
Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Lin Dongjiu asked the system:
"If I can master the alchemy method of "The Lazy Man's Alchemy", how many proficiency points will I need?"
"According to system calculations, the host can use 100 proficiency points to become a first-grade alchemist at the Xuan level, which is enough to master the "Lazy Man's Alchemy"!"
"Okay, exchange it!"
"Successful refinement! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the profession - Alchemist, and the reward is the fire from heaven and earth: Burning Fire!"
"It actually rewards heaven and earth with strange fire..."
Lin Dongjiu took a breath, quite surprised.
It is recorded in the "Encyclopedia of the Immortal Realm" that the legend of the different fires of heaven and earth is created by gathering the essence of heaven and earth. There are a total of 108 kinds of different fires of heaven and earth in all heavens and realms, thirty-six kinds of heaven and earth fires, and seventy-two kinds of earth fires.
The fire from heaven and earth can not only be used as a weapon with great destructive power, but it is also an excellent fire for alchemists to make elixirs.
The fire that the alchemist uses when making alchemy is mostly the spiritual fire stimulated by his own spiritual power. However, if the alchemist has the fire from heaven and earth, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. By relying on the fire from heaven and earth, he can improve his alchemy level by several levels.
In this lower plane of cultivation world, there are very few heaven and earth fires, so every heaven and earth fire is a very precious treasure.
This Fenyou Fire belongs to the Earth Fire, ranking ninth among the Earth Fires, and is definitely considered a rarity in the world of cultivation.
Which alchemist doesn't long for a fire, even if it's the alien fire that ranks last among the earth fires, let alone the ninth-ranked Fen Youhuo.
Immediately, Lin Dongjiu opened the system page, which read:
Host: Lin Dongjiu
Life span:17/150
Realm: Seventh level of Qi training realm
Attention value:84
Occupation: Alchemist (First Grade Xuan Rank)
Achievements: None
Techniques: Five Elements and Ten Thousand Dao Jue (first level), Qingyun Sword Technique (first style), Skywalking Phantom Flash
Sure enough, a new profession has been unlocked... Lin Dongjiu nodded secretly, and while putting away the panel, he thought of a new question.
Profit-seeking was the label he put on the system. If he sold this kindling, he didn't know how many spiritual stones he would be able to sell, and the system would just give it away if he said it would be given away?
He couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you suddenly act so generously this time?"
However, the system never disappoints Lin Dongjiu, and its voice sounded again:
"The condition for using Burning Nether Fire is that the host needs to upgrade Burning Nether Fire to cyan fire within one year before it can obtain the permanent right to use it. Otherwise, the system will automatically withdraw it if it expires."
"Alas! Let me just say, my system can't be that reliable!"
