Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 566: Jiexin is so honest and easy to fool
Back when he was under the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, Miao Yu actually suspected whether he could craft a Ninth-grade Immortal Pill.
Now it seems confirmed.
"Which Ninth-grade Immortal Pills can you make?" she asked with some anticipation.
Brother Cheng puffed out his chest: "That’s a question with no technical content. Of course, I can make all Ninth-grade Immortal Pills."
"What?"
"All of them?"
The other Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Emperors in the room felt he was bragging.
How is that possible?
There are many kinds of Ninth-grade Immortal Pills, and being able to make just one qualifies you as a Ninth-grade Immortal Alchemist.
Someone who can make all of them doesn’t even exist!
Miao Yu was overjoyed and quickly asked again, "Then what’s your success rate for crafting Ninth-grade Immortal Pills?"
Brother Cheng wanted to say, success rate isn’t even a term in my dictionary, okay?
Just throw the materials into the system and click the start crafting button.
Then the pills are guaranteed to come out perfectly every time.
But seeing the extremely concerned looks in everyone’s eyes, he suddenly realized something.
So, he gave a very conservative number: "Fifty percent."
"What?"
Miao Yu couldn’t stay seated and jumped up.
The other two Immortal Emperors in the room couldn’t help but exclaim again.
"Fifty percent?"
"How can it be that high?"
"The success rate for Ninth-grade Immortal Pills is generally only twenty percent. Reaching thirty percent is already a miracle!"
"Isn’t he just bluffing?"
Brother Cheng smiled without saying a word.
Miao Yu’s expression completely changed.
If it were someone else, she might also think they were boasting.
But if it were Jiang Cheng, she believed he could do anything unbelievable.
"Can you help us craft Ninth-grade Immortal Pills too?"
"Sure!"
Anyway, they’re providing the materials, and all I have to do is press the system button.
"Really?"
Miao Yu was overjoyed; this guy is usually hard to deal with, and it’s rare for him to be so straightforward.
"But if I put in the effort, you guys have to give me some reward, right?"
Miao Yu probed calmly: "What kind of reward do you want?"
Brother Cheng grinned: "How about all the materials I’ve procured this time are free?"
Miao Yu and the two Immortal Emperors exchanged glances, and they all saw a hint of ecstasy in each other’s eyes.
This condition... is too cheap!
For a Ninth-grade Immortal Alchemist to make a move, the rule in the Alchemy Realm is to take away half of the finished pills!
If Jiang Cheng really had a fifty percent success rate, then he would take away twenty-five percent of the final product pills according to the rule.
Ninth-grade Immortal Pills are worth a fortune!
Compared to finished Immortal Pills, the value of Immortal Medicines, Immortal Grasses, and other auxiliary materials combined is at least twenty to thirty times lower.
As long as they give him a batch of auxiliary materials for free, they can avoid handing over that twenty-five percent of the pills.
In Miao Yu’s view, they’ve made a huge profit!
"Let me make it clear first, our Celestial Pavilion has a lot of materials, so you might have to refine for a long time."
"No problem!"
"What if your final success rate doesn’t reach fifty percent..."
"Then I’ll compensate you!"
Hearing Brother Cheng’s guarantee, everyone in the room felt a bit reluctant.
In their hearts, they thought, Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, you’re bullying people too much!
When a Ninth-grade Immortal Alchemist refines a pill, if they ruin a batch, it’s the provider of the materials who bears the loss.
Compensate you? Never heard of that!
What, you say it’s unfair?
There are so few Ninth-grade Immortal Alchemists; you’re the one asking for help, not the other way around.
They won’t even respond to invitations, okay?
This legendary Jiexin, is way too honest and gullible, isn’t he?
Is he really the First Demon of the Six Realms?
Miao Yu, who rarely gets the upper hand with him, was in a great mood.
"Not bad, not bad. This time you’re quite straightforward."
Sect Leader Jiang habitually boosted his charm: "To win a beauty’s smile, I’m willing to give it my all!"
"Keep bragging!"
Fairy Miao wouldn’t think that just because of this time, he’d become someone so enamored by beauty that he’d grovel and try to please.
In previous dealings, his sly and hard-to-deal nature was vivid in her memory.
This guy never acts without benefit; in front of advantages, beauties are just fleeting clouds.
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out what advantage Brother Cheng could gain this time.
"Ah, I had intended to offer my heart to the moon..."
Others nearby were speechless.
Could you two be a bit more subtle, and consider the impression you’re giving?
The materials Brother Cheng needed were prepared in just three days.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Pavilion had gathered materials needed for Ninth-grade Immortal Pill crafting from various branches.
Fairy Miao felt that this time she had taken advantage of his ignorance of alchemy rules, so she had a compensatory mindset towards him.
Brother Cheng knew this well.
Adhering to the idea of not letting opportunities slip, he spent most of his time with this unparalleled beauty, inseparable, just like going out on a date.
Back during the ’Ten Lifetimes of Enmity’, they had experienced everything together, understanding each other thoroughly and developing a great familiarity.
Secretly observing, Immortal Emperors Long Lin and Jiang Han, among others, became increasingly convinced that if these two hadn’t something going on, it would be odd!
Until ten days later when all the branches’ materials from Celestial Pavilion were finally gathered.
He was then urged by Miao Yu to start ’alchemy furnace crafting’ in the Pill Hall arranged by Celestial Pavilion.
Upon entering, Miao Yu, Long Lin, and Jiang Han naturally followed inside.
A group of Quasi-Emperors, even two Eighth-grade Immortal Alchemists and dozens of Seventh-grade Immortal Alchemists from Celestial Pavilion also came in.
Everyone wanted to sneak a peek and learn some techniques.
This time, Brother Cheng was using the System Refining Technique.
This method had no process and didn’t even require a Pill Furnace, so how could it allow onlookers?
"I have a rule when refining pills, no outsiders are allowed nearby!"
Fairy Miao couldn’t possibly believe this nonsense.
"I remember last time you refined pills right in front of everyone?"
She was referring to the time under the Enlightenment Immortal Tree.
Brother Cheng thought to himself, last time I used a Pill Furnace to refine normally, so of course I didn’t mind letting you behold my heroic figure.
This time, it’s different.
"Ahem, last time was last time, this time it’s Ninth-grade Immortal Pills, the difficulty level is different!"
"Alright, alright, everyone out!"
Being pushed out by him, Miao Yu tried to argue: "Our Celestial Pavilion’s Immortal Pill Masters can stay to help you."
"My Great Dream Alchemy Method doesn’t need assistants."
"Great Dream Alchemy Method?"
Everyone was bewildered.
After driving them out, Brother Cheng set up several layers of Restrictions and Barriers, completely isolating everyone else outside.
Only then did he take out the first batch of materials from the Alternate Space.
This time, the Celestial Pavilion gathered Ninth-grade Immortal Medicine auxiliary materials from its headquarters and nearly all its branches, even more than what he had swindled from the Biluo Heart Palace.
It was an absolute abundance.
Once laid out, it almost filled the Pill Hall, spanning dozens of miles.
Brother Cheng opened the system refining panel, then selected all the materials.
And he selected all the Ninth-grade Immortal Pills he could produce.
Then, he opened the alchemy furnace in the hall to put on a show.
