Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy
chapter-75

Alex logged out to get some food after making 6 pills before dinner. He had skipped the lunch today so he was feeling unusually peckish.

After dinner, he logged back to the game and went to the sect valley for his daily work. He took his time and only reached the valley around half past 8.

It didn't even take him an hour in total to pick up all the ingredients. After he was done, he immediately ran back up the mountain to make some more pills.

Throughout the entire night, he managed to make around 22 pills. Today was a free day too, so he decided to make pills once more. He spent the entire day in the alchemy room, making pills whenever possible.

In fact, his next three days went the same way. Every morning, he would have a lesson with his master, and afterward, he would make pills whenever possible.

Finally, on Wednesday, he managed to make a total of 135 different pills. Surprisingly, all of the pills were in the Earth Grade, not one pill below 25%.

He looked at the remaining ingredients he had in his bag.

'Hmm… if I get some ingredients from the alchemy garden, I should be able to make a few more pills than I can register.'

He still had the 194 spirit stones he got from the auction house. He wanted to transfer it immediately to his bank account but didn't since he wanted to see if there were anything important in the auction.

He wanted to buy something himself too. Still, he wouldn't waste much of the spirit stones and together with what he would get from the auction house after selling the current pills, he would transfer them all at once.

Once he was ready, he left the sect leader's mountain at some time around 4 am.

It took him about half an hour to reach the auction house. The path felt quite short this time around for him.

"Are you here to sell, Daoist?" a new lady appeared at the front of the auction house.

"Yes," Alex let the new lady take him to one of the waiting rooms inside the auction house. After waiting for a while, Cai Ping walked in through the door.

"Ah, good to see you, Madam Cai. I am surprised I only meet you when I come to the auction house." He jokingly greeted the sitting Cai Ping.

"You jest, Daoist Yu. You only see me because I ordered the juniors to let me know when you came." Cai Ping properly seated herself on the couch opposite Alex.

"So, what do you have for us to Auction, Daoist Yu? More pills, I presume." Cai Ping looked at Alex expectantly, waiting for him to take out the batch of pills.

"Yes, Of course. I am an alchemist after all." Alex said with a smile as he reached into his bag and carefully took out 5 bottles, so as to not harm the pills inside.

Cai Ping's eyes lit up as she saw that the 5 newly arrived bottles were all filled with 5 different pills.

'25 pills?' she was happy to see that. Then something weird happened. Alex reached back into his bag and took out 5 more pill bottles, each filled with 5 pills.

"Umm… Daoist Yu? This is?" she asked.

"These are pills of course." Alex reached back into his bag and took 5 more bottles.

Cai Ping started to breathe faster as she saw the 5 new bottles. 'How many pills does he have?' she looked at the 15 different pill bottles and counted 75 pills in total. That was an enormous amount.

But then, Alex reached into his bag and took out 5 more bottles.

"What!!" she freaked out. The newly brought-out bottles were filled with 5 pills each as well.

"What's wrong madam Cai?" Alex was surprised at her loud exclamation.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I showed you something unsightly. I was just surprised that you brought forth so many pills. Did the Hong Wu sect send you as an ambassador for this time's auction, Daoist Yu?" Cai Ping was still calming down from the sight in front of her, but every time she saw the pill bottles laid out in front of her, her eyes would get wide and she would start breathing faster.

"Hong Wu Sect sends ambassadors? I didn't know that. Unfortunately, I am not that. I just wanted to earn some money from my sold pills, so I came here."

He then reached into his bag and brought out another 5 bottles.

This time, however, they weren't completely filled and had about 3 or 4 pills each. He reached back into his bag and took out 5 more bottles with less amount.

Cai Ping just wasn't used to this many pills being taken out at once by a single person.

'And he said he made all the pills by himself? Impossible.' It really was a very hard thing to believe.

Alex finally took out 10 more bottles, each with a single pill inside. Alex looked at 2 of the bottles with a single pill each. There were some pills in other bottles too, but these 2, in particular, were his best alchemy result to date.

The first one was a Hundred Poison Antidote that had a shockingly high harmony of 40%. The next one was a different pill, something he made just this morning.

It was a pill called the Healing Lotus pill. Its main ingredient was a Lotus that grew on earth. It was something he had found in the southern forest.

The Healing Lotus pill itself was one of the best pills he knew of. The pill was regarded as the number one healing pill below the True pills. There was no other healing pill that could rival its healing power.

And somehow, he had managed to make this pill with a harmony of 45%. This pill was also to this day, the pill with the highest harmony level he had made.
