Chapter 435: Chapter 210: With Chu Ning Here, Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Is Truly Fortunate

Then, Ling Cang discussed with Chu Ning the tasks he needed to accomplish.

The first thing he needed to do was to present the perfected Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill Fire Control Technique to the alchemists at the Alchemy Pavilion for study.

Chu Ning immediately took out a Blank Jade Scroll and recorded the Fire Control Technique he used for refining the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill in front of Ling Cang.

He then handed it to Ling Cang.

He also agreed that if the Sect required alchemy, such as crafting Foundation Establishment Pills, Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pills, and so on, Chu Ning would undertake the refining.

He would periodically explain the Alchemy Technique to the disciples within the Pavilion or allow them to observe his alchemical processes.

Chu Ning found these tasks manageable and agreed to them all.

Correspondingly, Chu Ning would be allowed unrestricted access to alchemical techniques and various legacies open to stewards within the Alchemy Pavilion.

At the same time, Chu Ning could free of charge use a relatively fixed portion of spirit medicines each month.

Of course, if Chu Ning required a large amount of spirit medicines,

he could exchange them through refining elixirs.

After their discussion, Chu Ning left the arena and proceeded to the Alchemy Pavilion.

Ling Cang remained standing on the high platform,

and only after Chu Ning’s figure disappeared did he murmur:

"To enter the Celestial Human Realm during alchemy is truly a rare talent in alchemy.

I hope I haven’t chosen wrongly this time; such a young man, if he dedicates himself to the Jiuhua Sect, it would indeed be a fortunate event for our Jiuhua Sect’s alchemical path!"

As these words fell, Ling Cang’s figure vanished from the arena as well.

...

Chu Ning re-entered the Alchemy Pavilion from the arena.

"Greetings, Master Chu!"

In the main hall of the Alchemy Pavilion, a dozen disciples immediately bowed respectfully.

These disciples held relatively low positions within the Alchemy Pavilion and were thus assigned to the hall to await the orders of alchemists with Foundation Establishment cultivation or above.

Chu Ning nodded, intending to leave the Alchemy Pavilion and return to his own Cave Mansion directly.

Yet he suddenly paused in his steps, deciding first to take a look at the Jiuhua Sect’s alchemical techniques.

His gaze then fell on a simple-minded young man among the dozen and he spoke:

"Wang Ping, where are the classics stored in the Alchemy Pavilion? Take me to see them."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping respectfully replied, "Master Chu, the classics are on the third floor."

Saying so, he stepped out from the crowd and led Chu Ning towards the third floor.

Instantly, those present viewed Wang Ping with envious eyes.

Until the figures of Chu Ning and Wang Ping disappeared into the restrictions on the second floor,

only then did someone grudgingly say:

"That Wang Ping really has foolish luck. He was initially assigned to guide Master Chu,

and then Master Chu always sought him out."

Over the previous six months, Chu Ning occasionally sought out Wang Ping once or twice.

But since Chu Ning was just a new steward at that time, and due to the half-year agreement, everyone was unsure of the final outcome,

so even if Chu Ning sought out Wang Ping, no one had any particular feelings.

But now, with Chu Ning rising to the leader of the stewards, his status was different, and everyone became envious.

After all, with Chu Ning having so many resources and refining such advanced elixirs, even a little could benefit an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator.

Upon arriving at the Scripture Room on the third floor, Chu Ning used his Identity Jade Token to enter the room filled with restrictions.

He took a glance, then headed directly to where the Pill Formulas were stored.

Having refined the Intermediate Upper Grade Elixir, Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill, Chu Ning was naturally not satisfied with only refining this one type of Intermediate Upper Grade Elixir.

In the Essentials of Spirit Pill he held, there were actually some Pill Formulas, but the spirit medicines were hard to find.

And if these were Pill Formulas within the Jiuhua Sect, it was expected that the Pavilion’s spirit medicines would be relatively more abundant.

Upon reaching the place where the Pill Formulas were stored and seeing the shelves filled with Jade Scrolls, Chu Ning was momentarily stunned.

"So, the Jiuhua Sect actually has so many Intermediate Middle Grade and Intermediate Upper Grade Pill Formulas?"

In his moment of astonishment, Chu Ning’s eyes shone brightly.

For an alchemist, this was undoubtedly a treasure trove.

Immediately, he began picking up one Pill Formula after another to review them.

"Heart Cleansing Pill, Intermediate Middle Grade Elixir, this pill can actually clear quite a bit of the demon poison from Fifth Level Demon Beasts, indeed a good thing.

It requires Clear Heart Grass, Heavenly Bamboo Yellow, Spirit Vegetable Flower Root..."

"Profound Wood Ganoderma Pill, is actually a Wood and Fire Dual Attribute Intermediate Middle Grade Elixir, Golden Ganoderma, Profound Wood Root, Purple Mist Fruit, Ghost Orchid Leaves..."

Initially, in the Scripture Room, Chu Ning only picked up some Pill Formulas he was interested in.

Gradually, after viewing more Pill Formulas,

Chu Ning discovered that many elixirs shared similar medicinal effects with the Pill Formulas in the Essentials of Spirit Pill.

Some even had identical herbs.

He couldn’t help but compare these Pill Formulas with the Essentials of Spirit Pill.

He discerned the effects of different spirit medicines and the differences in their refining methods.

Then Chu Ning realized that the alchemical techniques he previously considered exceptionally profound in the Essentials of Spirit Pill were not always optimal.

For some elixirs with equivalent effects, the methods recorded in Jiuhua Sect require fewer types of spirit medicines and are simpler to refine.

Chu Ning became immersed in understanding the alchemical techniques, unknowingly staying here for a full month.

A month later, after setting down a Jade Scroll, he couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

"Great Gains!"

Chu Ning’s eyes were filled with the joy of his harvest.

Over this month, he found his speed of reading Pill Formula Jade Scrolls slowed progressively.

Originally, he thought within a month’s time, he would certainly have finished reviewing all Intermediate Middle and Upper Grade Pill Formulas.

Unexpectedly, after actually going through them, he only covered about half.

Even the Essentials of Spirit Pill was repeatedly reviewed by Chu Ning several times.

"I need to thoroughly digest and absorb the content reviewed over this month, and I have several hypotheses to verify whether they’re feasible.

If feasible, I can refine elixirs more suitable for my current stage than the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill."

Muttering to himself, Chu Ning stretched lazily, returned all the Jade Scrolls,

and then walked out. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Though the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill was excellent, Chu Ning knew well that as he cultivated the Flame Divine Wood Technique, if he could refine a powerful Wood and Fire Dual Attribute Elixir,

it would undoubtedly be more beneficial for advancing his cultivation.
