The Tale of Breaking Free to Cultivate Immortality

After several rounds of communication without success, Li Ruoyu chose to come out of retreat.

Because he had sensed that there was someone in his yard, and it seemed that he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Brother Zou?" Li Ruoyu's voice finally sounded.

"Master Li." Zou Dafa instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and then signaled to the former that he had important things to report.

"Lan'er, make a pot of spiritual tea. I have something important to discuss with Brother Zou. No one is allowed to disturb." Li Ruoyu immediately ordered.

"Yes~" Lan'er accepted the order.

In the quiet room.

"Brother Zou, I wonder what's the matter that requires you to wait for me like this?" Li Ruoyu knew that Zou Dafa was obsessed with alchemy. If it wasn't an important matter, he wouldn't wait like this.

"My benefactor, Zou Dafa has an extremely important matter to discuss with you." Seeing that Li Ruoyu had set up the magic circle, Zou Dafa immediately stood up and saluted.

"No need to be so polite, brother, just say it." Li Ruoyu frowned. This was the first time he had seen Zou Dafa since he was promoted to the foundation-building stage.

"First of all, Zou Dafa was able to advance to the foundation-building stage entirely thanks to the benefactor. The benefactor has great luck, and Zou Dafa has been blessed a little bit..." Zou Dafa flattered him.

"Brother, we two don't need to talk about this. If you have something to say, just tell Li directly." Li Ruoyu smiled bitterly. There were only two of them left, and he was still flattering.

"Actually, we were in Bai..." Zou Dafa was about to say Baichengyu, but was glared back by Li Ruoyu.

Li Ruoyu had warned Zou Dafa several times that the things in the lower world should be kept secret forever. If you really want to talk about it, just use "that place" instead.

Because their soundproofing and anti-peeping methods may have a good effect on the cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and even the weaker powerful people in the golden elixir stage, but they may not be useful for stronger cultivators.

It's better to be careful.

"When I was in that place, I was also the best alchemist in the area." Zou Dafa understood, and he couldn't say that he wouldn't say it in the future.

Unless we can stand at the top like we were there, we can say it again!

"Before I came here and met my benefactor, I almost starved to death on the street." Zou Dafa's words were a bit exaggerated. He was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and no matter how miserable he was, he could not starve to death.

"Let alone the opportunity to refine pills, now that I have successfully established my foundation, even the mention of the word "refining pills" will be despised by others."

"But the level of alchemy here doesn't seem to be very good!" Zou Dafa gave Li Ruoyu the feeling that he had returned to the momentum of the first alchemist in the domain.

"Brother..." Although Li Ruoyu occasionally questioned the level of cultivators in this world, he never said it so bluntly.

"Benefactor, I, Zou Dafa, am not a person who likes to brag..." Zou Dafa is indeed relatively low-key. Although it only took him about two years to catch up with and surpass most alchemists in the Qi Refining Realm.

Now that he has been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his progress is even greater than he imagined.

At first, he was going to learn to refine a few auxiliary pills for healing and avoiding poison. As a result, once he got started, his success rate in refining pills basically caught up with He Yi, the head of the Alchemy Hall!

Then he reported that he wanted to learn how to refine Peiyuan Pill.

Regardless of the potential Zou Dafa had shown before, or now that he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Learning to refine Peiyuan Pill is naturally what the Alchemy Hall should teach.

Even though Zou Dafa has not been in the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, with a backer like Li Ruoyu, He Yi can only teach first.

Otherwise, he would offend Zou Dafa and Li Ruoyu at once. Even though He Yi is an old man in the Chamber of Commerce, he does not want to take such a risk.

The problem starts with Zou Dafa learning to refine Peiyuan Pill. As the head of the Alchemy Hall, He Yi is naturally the best alchemist in the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce.

Peiyuan Pill, the most needed pill in the Foundation Establishment Realm, naturally requires all the alchemists in the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Chamber of Commerce to learn it.

Zou Dafa learned it, but the effect was not that good.

For a cultivator like He Yi who was in the late stage of foundation building and had strong strength, when refining Peiyuan Pill, the success rate of low-level pills was only a little over 80%.

The success rate of intermediate pills was 60% to 70%, and the success rate of advanced pills was only about 50%!

As for the higher-level Pure Yuan Pill, He Yi could only refine low-level and intermediate ones, and the success rate was even more outrageous.

The foundation of Xinglong Chamber of Commerce was like this. There was no high-level Pure Yuan Pill for sale, not to mention the Pure Yang Pill, which had the best effect in accelerating cultivation in the foundation building stage? There was not even a pill formula!

Zou Dafa started to develop in a low-key manner, and now he has become more active.

If Li Ruoyu hadn't stayed here, he would have thought of going to another place.

He Yi taught for some time, and after Zou Dafa could refine pills by himself, he sent him back to practice.

At his current level, he could only produce some low-level pills. Let alone make money from it, it would be good enough to ensure a balance between income and expenditure.

Li Ruoyu was away during that period, and Zou Dafa had no outside help. He could only refine some other pills to supplement his income while practicing the refining techniques of Peiyuan Pill.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and that was an indisputable fact.

The success rate of low-level Peiyuan Pills was 40%, and the success rate of intermediate pills was 10%. Zou Dafa was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

He asked Lan'er to support some of the spirit stones. Although Lan'er was embarrassed, Li Ruoyu had also ordered him to support as much as possible.

Until the spirit stones used by this alchemist reached a limit, Lan'er could not make the decision no matter how many more.

Zou Dafa had no choice but to go back and find a solution.

When Li Ruoyu came back, Lan'er mentioned this matter, but Li Ruoyu didn't think much about it. The alchemist had just advanced to a higher realm and needed to learn new ways to refine pills, so there were naturally more places where he needed to spend money.

Then, unexpectedly, Zou Dafa, who was forced into a dead end and couldn't think of a good way, really figured out something different.

The materials for refining Peiyuan Dan are about 500 spirit stones per furnace, and the intermediate pill yield rate must be about 50% to make a profit.

After a period of hard training, Zou Dafa's success rate of low-level pills reached 50%, and about 20% of intermediate pills.

He almost lost his coffin.

It's not worth it to continue to make money from the Qi Refining Realm after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. But life has to go on, so Zou Dafa had to take out the medicinal materials containing Yin Qi from his storage bag based on the idea of ​​saving as much as possible.

Those medicinal materials were brought up from Baichengyu. They were looted at the beginning, and even those guys didn't like them. It's not too much for Zou Dafa to practice with them, right?

It's okay to practice with them. Yin Qi has been almost gone in recent years, and it's a waste to keep them piled up anyway.

As a result, six Peiyuan Pills were produced in the first furnace, including three low-level and three medium-level ones!

It was an unexpected harvest, and Zou Dafa didn't think there was anything wrong. Maybe it was just luck.

What if it was the same for three furnaces in a row?
