Chapter 51: Research
How could the Heavenly Alchemist Association's reason for existence is for an insignificant reason like this? That would be a blatant disgrace to the founder and ancestors of all alchemists!The association's sole existence was to preserve the alchemist's heritage, allowing it to be inherited over the millennia! Furthermore, this mentality doesn't only exist in the eyes of the alchemist but many other factions across the continent."Xiao Tu... Let this eldest senior brother give you some advice. Of course, if you're willing to listen." said Tang Yun Long. He doesn't appear to be offended by Chen Tu's words but shows interest."This junior brother is willing." Chen Tu cupped his fists together in reply. Since this senior brother had already opened his mouth, what else he had to say?"Good." Tang Yun Long nodded happily after hearing Chen Tu's reply. As he was in a good mood today, he decided to enlighten him a little."First, you'll need to differentiate the disparity between an assign

Chapter 52: Failure
The trio patiently waited around the cauldron for it to reach the ideal fire temperature. When the time was ripe, everyone immediately closed the distance and tossed the Spiritual Herb each person was responsible for into the pot.They had one responsibility here.Chen Tu was to extract the Medicinal Essence from the Crimson Marble Fruit. Qin Lei, on the Burial Root, and Tang Yun Long are responsible for both Spirit Calming Grass and Highland Flower.Thanks to his elementary achievement in the Alchemic Refinement Flame, Chen Tu could participate in this while being a mere third-level Body Tempering cultivator. He also had to thank the Crimson Marble Fruit for its stable Medicinal Content.As for Qin Lei, he had no mastery over the Alchemic Refinement Flame, but his efficiency didn't lose to Chen Tu. As an eighth-level Body Tempering cultivator, he had almost triple the amount of Spiritual Energy compared to Chen Tu.This difference helps narrow the differences between them. The time d

Chapter 53: Inexperienced
Since everyone here was meticulously picked by the elder in person, was there any point for them to fight amongst each other? Wouldn't that go against the elder's intention in the first place, then?Most importantly, the elder wasn't blind or a fool!"Xiao Tu, what about you tell this teacher what creative idea you had earlier? Let me see if there's anywhere to improve." said the elder."Disciple obeys!" Chen Tu nodded and straightened himself. Using the same way he explained things earlier to the other two, Chen Tu discussed his idea with their teacher. At the same time, he added a few risque factors he found out from their first failure.In the meantime, Qin Lei handed the money from delivering the pills yesterday to the teacher. Out of delight, they were given ten Contribution Tokens in return. After all, no teacher would treat their own disciple miserably.If their stinginess was exposed to the outsider, won't that ruin the elder's reputation?The elder then revealed a delighted e

Chapter 54: Tears
Naturally, the young uns protested. But the elder still kicked them out of his workshop ruthlessly. At the same time, it wasn't hard for them to notice their teacher's kindness hiding behind his mean action.Having no other option, the trio made their way to the canteen for their dinner. And with Tang Yun Long accompanying them, the group obviously didn't have to eat what was offered on the ground level.As a part of Outer Grotto's top ten disciples, Tang Yun Lang had the privilege of eating for free on the first floor. And his juniors, Chen Tu and Qin Lei, naturally bathe in his benevolence.With the eldest senior brother taking the lead, he ordered six dishes altogether, with three meat and three vegetable options. Without Tang Yun Long, this dinner would have cost them twelve Contribution Tokens.Twelve tokens... That's equivalent to a hundred and twenty Spiritual Coins outside. This amount alone is more than enough for a table of food, wine, and women in any nearby downtown or cit

Chapter 55: Distribution Day
"Alright, both of you. Take care of yourself until we meet next time." Tang Yun Long said to them before returning to his place. Unlike regular disciples, those in the top ten rankings were given their own courtyards to stay in.These buildings usually have plenty of conveniences, such as their own kitchen, garden, training square, storage room, and many more. Even if what they needed wasn't there, they could simply request it to be added.But most importantly, was the richer Spiritual Energy in the surrounding. As the ten accommodations were constructed for their comfort, an Energy Gathering Formation Array was set up here to make it more livable.They could hardly be any disturbance here, which was all the disciples could ask for because it allowed them to enter seclusion at any time.The place was also assigned to regular disciples to maintain. As long as necessary, the assisting disciples would be here to handle the matter with food, cleanliness, purchase, delivery, and safety. As

Chapter 56: What?
From looking at the disciple's expression, something like this was the norm to them. At least, this is how it appeared to be for Chen Tu.At the same time, the deal is likely driven by the collective power of Worldly Treasures Pavilion and Blood Refining Grotto.After all, who wouldn't take this opportunity to earn back the money inside the disciple's pocket? Even if they don't, the others and outsiders would. And by looking at a different perspective, wasn't this within their calculation?On one side, the grotto was distributing the salary, while on another, the Worldly Treasures Pavilion was earning them back by organizing monthly sales. Through this cycle, they could restrict the money and resources from flowing out of the Blood Refining Grotto.Regardless of opinion, Chen Tu's only concern is collecting enough material for the Pill Formula in his hand. As he was still too insignificant in the eyes of upper-level experts, it was pointless for him to worry.After studying the market

Chapter 57: Grain Pellet
"Wh - Wha - What happened?" Chen Tu removed the rice crispies by using the scooping tool provided. Everything was happening too quickly and ended before he could react. "How can the ingredient burn that quickly? I didn't purchase the fake product, I hope!" Chen Tu's heart was in pain for wasting the portion of Five-Colored Spiritual Grains. Although it only cost him half a Spiritual Coin for that portion, it was still a lot to Chen Tu. The mistake also causes a hint of anxiety inside Chen Tu's mind. Of course, the effect was insignificant for now... But there's no guarantee that it wouldn't worsen from accumulation. Still, the failure in his first tryst made Chen Tu give his ingredients and the Pill Formula another check. And after he adjusted the flame slightly, Chen Tu began with the second attempt. Even after being careful, the Five-Colored Spiritual Grains lasted just fifteen seconds before they exploded into another pot of rice crispies. This result would be amazing if Chen Tu

Chapter 58: Supply Office
"Let's compare the Grain Pellets I've refined with those included inside the monthly resources bag. This way, it would enable me to identify the difference." Chen Tu came up with a smart idea. Because this was his first time refining a pill, he was clueless about what to do next.In his case, there's nothing better than comparing his product with those available inside his resources bag. After all, those Grain Pellets had to pass a certain threshold in quality before distributing them to the disciples.The six Grain Pellets were separated into two even sides. The one on the left is his product, and those on the right are from the grotto. Appearance-wise, there's really nothing much to nitpick about.As for the size and smell, the one supplied by the grotto was slightly better than his own. But such disparity was normal, considering this is Chen Tu's first successful batch. Furthermore, the quality of a pill is greatly affected by the alchemist who refined them.With sufficient practic

Chapter 59: Breakthrough In Understanding
Chen Tu felt his blood boil slightly from surrounded by all these disciples. Although their attention wasn't directed at him, their concentration was somewhat contagious, especially to someone with a keen sense like Chen Tu. Furthermore, being capable of reading normally now allowed Chen Tu to understand the Supply Office's operation and overall structure. As a faction with three cities and more than twenty town-level settlements affiliated to them, the Blood Refining Grotto had responsibility over the commoners concerning their safety, protection, and interest. This means there would be over a thousand types of requests posted on the Assignment Board for the disciples to participate in. There are all kinds of assignments available, ranging from the smallest reward of a few Spiritual Replenishing Pills to some that pay hundreds. Obviously, the Blood Refining Grotto supported this practice. But a stable flow of manpower was necessary to keep the operation ongoing. Hence, nothing wa

Chapter 60: Good That Offset Excellence
The story had to be reversed back to yesterday night. It was right after Chen Tu discovered something odd about the Five-Colored Spiritual Grains. (Did nobody notice something like this before?) Chen Tu asked himself. Thanks to the heightened Spiritual Sense after half a cycle of the Sun and Moon Condensation Art, he could observe the Spiritual Energy hovering around the grains. And through this discovery, Chen Tu noticed that out of the thousand or so grains in that portion, a small number of them are no longer "alive." Of course, when this [living] concept was applied to these seedlings, they were no longer capable of sprouting. Although the existence wouldn't cause further damage to the final product, there's always an "if" moment applied. This discovery gave Chen Tu a creative idea. Since the first part of the Pill Formula was to remove the impurity from the Five-Colored Spiritual Grains, does that means it was actually a process of removing these dead grains? To confirm his
