Chapter 49: Accidental
In the next few days, Junior Sister Zheng came every day as expected. She would bring Li Yu some materials for practice every time and sometimes share her alchemy experience with Li Yu. Her master was one of the eight fourth-grade alchemists in the sect, and Li Yu benefited a lot from his unique insights into alchemy.
In just a few days, Li Yu's success rate in refining first-grade pills increased greatly. Not only could he produce ten pills in each furnace, the quality was also top-notch, and he could occasionally even produce a few super-quality pills.
This speed of progress also shocked Zheng Keqi.
She had never seen an alchemist who made such rapid progress. It seemed that what her master said was right. Entering the realm of heaven and man would be of great benefit to an alchemist. This also made her extremely eager for that state.
Although Junior Sister Zheng's fame in Kunlun Sect is not as great as Qin Keren, Xu Qingxin and Jiang Li, she is also a talented girl in alchemy who is well-known throughout the sect in recent years. She frequently appears at Danding Peak and stays with Li Yu for a whole day each time, which makes the disciples of Danding Peak envious.
Putting aside his attainments in alchemy, they couldn't help but admire Li Yu's ability to always attract beautiful women.
In the small courtyard, Li Yu finished refining the first-grade elixir again. This time, his luck was very good. Four of the pills out of the furnace of Qi-rejuvenating pills reached super-quality.
Zheng Keqi couldn't help but sighed: "Senior Brother Li has made great progress. I started refining first-grade elixirs a year ago, and I still don't have a super-quality rate like you."
Li Yu smiled and said, "I'm just lucky."
Zheng Keqi blinked and asked, "Brother, you have entered the realm of heaven and man many times. Is it also luck?"
After a few days of getting along, Li Yu also knew very well that the reason why this genius girl came to him every day was simply to inquire about the secret of entering the realm of heaven and man. It was a pity that Li Yu didn't know this secret either, and he relied on cheating every time.
Looking at Junior Sister Zheng's eager eyes, Li Yu didn't know what to do.
These days, the materials he used to practice were all provided free of charge by Junior Sister Zheng, and she also left the successfully refined pills to Li Yu. She really helped him a lot, and he would feel it was not right if not show some appreciation.
Li Yu thought about it and said, "It's not entirely based on luck. These two times I entered the realm of heaven and man, it seems that they were really different from usual times."
Junior Sister Zheng's eyes lit up and she immediately asked, "What's the difference?"
Li Yu organized his words while saying, "I found that whenever I take a furnace of elixirs seriously, although I can guarantee a higher success rate and super-quality rate, I rarely refine top-quality ones. But when I hold a relaxed attitude and refine casually, I may enter the realm of heaven and man..."
Junior Sister Zheng showed a thoughtful expression and murmured, "So, before you made the elixir, you flirted with the pretty senior sister to relax yourself..."
“…”
Li Yu only found out later that the competition that day was actually broadcast live. He smiled awkwardly and said, "That's about it. Junior sister, you should also know that mentality has a great influence on alchemy..."
Junior Sister Zheng seemed to realize something, she stood up and said, "I understand, thank you Senior Brother Li for your guidance!"
After saying that, she left in a hurry without even saying goodbye to Li Yu .
Looking at her leaving back, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't say anything, Junior Sister Zheng would probably continue to pester him.
What he said just now was not random. No matter what you do, you must have a good attitude. This applies whether it is refining medicine, refining weapons, or writing talismans.
After seeing off Junior Sister Zheng, Li Yu planned to go to the stall at Feilai Peak to sell the pills he had accumulated over the past few days.
He doesn't have many spirit coins left, so he has to earn some first so that he can continue to exchange them for Tongmai Pills next month.
Because the materials needed for refining are all spiritual herbs and medicines, the price of a first-level elixir is much more expensive than that of a low-level elixir. Even in Kunlun, a recovery pill costs fifty spirit coins. An offensive first-level elixir is worth more than a hundred spirit coins.
Based on the standard bottle of ten pills, the price of a bottle of Huiqi Pill and Baoyuan Pill is five hundred spirit coins. The materials for refining the pills were provided by Junior Sister Zheng, and Li Yu only spent time, energy and mana, which is almost equivalent to a no-cost business. His net profit from selling a bottle of pills is five hundred spirit coins .
These days, Li Yu has accumulated more than twenty bottles of first-grade elixirs and is eager to sell them.
However, this time, Li Yu's stall-setting journey was not so smooth.
He set up a stall at Feilai Peak and sat there for a long time, but no one was interested.
Moreover, Li Yu discovered that it was not just him. Those selling talismans and magical instruments were doing normal business, except for those selling elixirs, where no one even asked about the price.
Li Yu finally remembered that last time several low-level disciples tried to buy Tongmai Pills here but were cheated by someone who used Qi Ju Dan instead. They became the laughing stock of the entire sect. After that, Kunlun disciples would rather spend more money than buy the three-quality pills sold at street stalls.
This made Li Yu curse the wicked old guy again in his heart. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel, and the entire industry was ruined by him.
In desperation, Li Yu had to take off his cloak and veil to show his true face.
Anyway, 90% of these pills are top-grade, with only a few being super-grade, so he has no reason to hide his identity.
After revealing his true appearance, Li Yu shouted loudly: "Top-grade Qi-recovering Pills and Yuan-preserving Pills are available for 400 spirit coins each. Don't miss them if you pass by. Super-grade Qi-recovering Pills and Yuan-preserving Pills can be taken away for 500 spirit coins..."
He didn't say anything and no one looked at him, but when he shouted, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
The low-level disciples who were strolling here had no intention of buying pills, but they subconsciously turned their heads to take a look and found that the handsome young man sitting there looked familiar. Then they thought again, wasn't that Li Yu, the champion of the alchemy competition, who was flirting with the beautiful senior sister in public on the day of the competition!
That day, nearly half of Kunlun’s disciples saw his handsome face above the water curtain.
"Hey, isn't that Li Yu?"
"Yes, it's him. This guy is even more handsome than the one I saw on the water curtain..."
"He also came to Feilai Peak to set up a stall?"
…
When they found out the person shouting was Li Yu, many people gathered around him immediately. They couldn't trust other people's pills, but this was the champion of the competition, a man even a third-grade alchemist in the Golden Core Stage had to ask for advice. The quality of the pills he made must not have any problems .
Moreover, everyone knows his identity. If there is any problem with the pills, he will not be able to escape if they come to him.
In fact, all disciples like cheap and affordable elixirs, but they are worried about being cheated, so they would rather spend more spirit coins to buy peace of mind. Li Yu's face is his golden signboard.
A disciple carrying a giant sword came over and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Li, give me a bottle of Qi-restoring pills."
Another young disciple who was thin and had unsteady steps but was somewhat handsome came running over and said, "I want a bottle of Baoyuan Dan, I want the best quality one..."
"I'll have a bottle of Qi-restoring pill too."
"Leave me a bottle of Baoyuan Dan."
…
Soon, the disciples who came to buy the elixir surrounded Li Yu's stall in three layers. Li Yu was very happy. If he had known that he could sell goods with his face, why would he wear a cloak and waste so much time...
Just as Li Yu pocketed the spiritual coins one by one, Zheng Keqi had a hearty meal in Piaoxiang Pavilion at Cuiwei Peak. After coming back, he took a comfortable hot bath, leisurely changed into his favorite fairy clothes, and prepared to start refining the elixir.
When she refined important pills in the past, she would not be so casual. Instead, she would meditate for at least half an hour to adjust her condition to the peak.
After receiving Li Yu's guidance, she decided to make changes.
It must be said that after a big meal and a flower petal bath, she felt fragrant all over, her mood improved a lot, and she was more relaxed than before any other time she refined the elixir.
She walked to the alchemy furnace, added the spiritual liquid into the furnace in order, and used her magic power to generate flames. She had no other thoughts in her mind. She looked at the slightly fluctuating flames and did not focus on refining the alchemy. Instead, she thought about Li Yu's words...
As she fell into deep thought, her expression gradually became blank.
The flame under the alchemy furnace gradually became stable, and soon even the slightest fluctuation disappeared.
Half an hour later.
Zheng Keqi's delicate body suddenly trembled and she woke up from her trance. She was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't wait to open the alchemy furnace.
Ten top-grade medicinal pills with five dan patterns on them lay quietly in the furnace.
After a brief moment of shock, her expression became extremely excited, and she shouted in a trembling voice: "Master, Master, come quickly!"
A moment later, a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared beside her.
She looked at the ten flawless, top-grade pills in the furnace that looked like works of art, and said in disbelief, "This, this was made by you?"
Zheng Keqi grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "I, I just entered the realm of heaven and man. It turns out that the realm of heaven and man feels like this. Senior Brother Li is right. He didn't lie to me..."
