Chapter 61: After Dinner
The verdict stunned Chen Tu. To Chen Tu, nothing hits him harder than being told there are no Two-Star Pills found in the seventy Grain Pellets. And with this result in hand, doesn't that equivalent to telling him that the modified recipe doesn't work as intended? But at the same time, there's no doubt that his newer recipe had a greater yield and higher success rate. The only regrettable part concerning this recipe is the questionable medicinal potency of the concoction. It might be safe to assume that the mixture was too diluted to achieve a greater yield. Thus, the end product ended up slightly meeting the minimal requirement of a standard pill. Although this concern could be handled with enough patience, there's no shortcut for Chen Tu to use here. In Alchemy, a shortcut is akin to a double-edged sword. You could uncover the essence or go astray from your primary intention. Hence, it was also why such a thought was considered taboo in this profession. It also wasn't a secret

Chapter 62: Rock
"Is there something bothering you?" Qin Lei asked during their dinner. As someone older than Chen Tu by a few years, he naturally sensed something in Chen Tu's head. He had no reason to dig into his matters unless Chen Tu was willing. Anyway, there's a limit to being helpful to his junior. Furthermore, he hates guessing. If there's something he wanted to know, he would simply ask. "It is something related to pill refinement. I am thinking about asking the teacher the next time we're called to help." Chen Tu politely replied and brushed over the topic. Although there's nothing wrong with sharing things with Qin Lei, Chen Tu feels it was slightly irrelevant to share this with Qin Lei. As a matter of fact, there's a reason for this. While sharing what he experienced over these two days with Qin Lei wouldn't hurt him, Chen Tu felt that he shouldn't bother Qin Lei too much concerning Alchemy. After all, the latter did share with Chen Tu that the study in Alchemy wasn't his priority. T

Chapter 63: Organizing
(What a joke!) Chen Tu's refusal was like a slap to the owner's face. Even if he could afford it, why would he spend the money on buying a piece of rock that had no specific uses? Of course, it could have been different if the owner had been sure about the content inside the stone. But obviously, he doesn't. If he did, perhaps the price of whatever was inside could be worth more than five mere Spiritual Coins. Since he couldn't deliver some trustworthiness in his words, who would be willing to pay his asking price? Even in the eyes of passersby, this thing here was simply a useless rock. Chen Tu's expression remained firm and collected. Although the stall owner only asked for five Spiritual Coins, wouldn't Chen Tu have a better place to spend his money? For example... Buying five more sets of ingredients to refine the Grain Pellets? Of course, it would be great if there was really [True Essence Obsidian Ink] inside the stone. Otherwise, he would have wasted the money for nothi

Chapter 64: Borrow
With a more organized yet relaxing schedule, Chen Tu could allocate his time preparing the ingredients before leaving them to mature. Additionally, although his tinkered recipe had a terrible chance of refining a Two-Star Pill, the losses can be compensated by its higher yield and success rate. The freedom of time he had from the preparation would also give Chen Tu more flexibility in his time to visit the Training Hall. After all, with the ingredient partially handled, the concoction time can be shortened to roughly ten minutes per cauldron. The remaining time would be divided evenly to his rest, studying, working, and cultivating. In a blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Over these few days, Chen Tu had a stable income of fifteen to twenty Spiritual Coins from refining the Grain Pellet alone. If the Contribution Token earned from the Spiritual Garden were added, that would be between fifty to seventy coins. While his choice is slightly less than working in the Spiritual Gard

Chapter 65: A Trick
Qin Lei had left his seat and stood beside Chen Tu at the end of his sentence. Judging from his expression, there's a hint of conflicting emotion fighting inside his head. The conflict was fierce, but as a matter of fact, it only lasted for a few seconds in reality. Considering how Qin Lei's knees gradually bend forward, what he was trying to do is obvious. (I'll kneel in front of junior brother Chen if that's what it takes to get some help...) "Senior brother." Chen Tu's call instantly brought Qin Lei's thoughts back to his physical body. But the strength between his legs was gone as his knees approached the ground faster than they supposed. Fortunately, a foot came forward before Qin Lei's knees touched the ground. A pair of hands firmly grabbed his shoulders simultaneously and helped Qin Lei to stand. "I'm not sure how much I had, honestly... But let us visit the Worldly Treasures Pavilion tomorrow after the harvest. With another day of income, I'm sure we could afford to buy

Chapter 66: Sunshine
This time, they only had three newcomers out of the twenty-five participants. By taking Chen Tu and Qin Lei out of the remaining headcount, it was safe to say there were twenty repeating participants. Regardless of how they were chosen, there's no doubt that they're happy to participate in this harvest. After all, only twenty-five people would be chosen from the seven senior workers and Elder Wei Xuan. This means those who weren't chosen could only look at the twenty-five people with a pair of jealous, red eyes. To most, this harvest was merely an excuse for the Spiritual Garden to reward the people they endorsed with Contribution Tokens. While as a matter of fact, that wasn't the case. The reward was plentiful, but not everyone qualified to share the bigger piece of an entire cake. Naturally, some people did well, and some didn't. After all, harvesting a Burial Root properly requires experience, patience, and understanding. If merely using brute strength would get the work done,

Chapter 67: Dinner
Qin Lei naturally saw how that newcomer got accepted by Chen Tu into their group. Being the one closest to Chen Tu, how can he not know what is in Chen Tu's mind? His only worry was Chen Tu being too nice to everyone else. Of course, his concern was not in a bad way. Qin Lei could feel that Chen Tu hardly doubted the intention of other people. Although it was not a bad thing, it wasn't good either. Of course, the worry should only be concerning when they were outside the Blood Refining Grotto. After all, everyone was both junior and senior, brothers and sisters here. Suppose their fellow disciples weren't helping one another in a protected environment. What could be expected when everyone here went outside? Would their sword be pointing at outsiders, or would it be pointing at their own fellow brothers and sisters? Qin Lei decided to keep quiet after he gave it a quick thought. It might still be too early to speak about this with Chen Tu. Furthermore, Chen Tu was merely ten this

Chapter 68: 560 Contribution Tokens!
Because they're having such an amazing harvest today, Elder Wei Xuan naturally couldn't be stingy with everyone here. When the sky was about to get darker, he had a senior worker bring a word to the canteen, and food was delivered afterward. Furthermore, what they served wasn't the usual menu on the ground level, but the exquisite one available to order on the first level. This kind of generosity was not something one could see often! With a sentence from the elder, everyone came and ate to their heart's content. Of course, that was after someone recorded the number of Burial Roots they handed over to senior workers. Putting the figure today into total, they had harvested seven hundred Burial Roots in this single day. Furthermore, nothing was left to waste because they missed any of them in between. It is also safe to say that there's no matured Burial Roots managed to escape their fat of getting uprooted by these human cultivators. With ten plants in a row, ten rows in one plant

Chapter 69: Don't Joke!
Standing in the middle of their attention, Qin Lei explained his circumstances and reason for collecting such a fund. Naturally, that includes what happened to his father and his intention to buy the Spiritium Velvet Antlers from the Worldly Treasures Pavilion. The exorbitant price of seven hundred Contribution Tokens naturally explained why they needed all they could get. Although this means that not everyone can afford to buy the treasure, there's no say about what would happen if it stays unsold for some time. Although he hadn't intended to eavesdrop on their conversation, the elder could not help but shake his head after listening to Qin Lei's story. Hearing from a distance to a Golden Core Layer cultivator is as simple as breathing. The elder naturally knew who Qin Lei was talking about. After all, the sixth elder, who is also an acquaintance of Qin Lei's father, was the one who asked him to take care of Qin Lei if possible. It was obvious that he knew about this. The only pa

Chapter 70: Troublemaker
(Damn! This is going to be troublesome!) The worker cursed in his mind. At first, he assumed that Chen Tu and Qin Lei were normal disciples. But it was obviously akin to throwing a rock at his own feet. How can someone that could take an Alchemist Token out as they like to be normal? He should have roughly guessed the background of these two from the moment they requested the Spiritium Velvet Antlers. But it was too late for him to change his mind. With three minutes remaining on the clock, all this worker needed was to delay them until the bell rang. As long he could keep them occupied until then, they naturally had to come back tomorrow. After all, the Worldly Treasures Pavilion had a strict reputation for stopping all transactions after the bell. Only those who are in the middle of settling their payment would be entertained. As for the rest, they naturally had to return the next day if they were still keen on buying that item. The same rule would still apply even if an elder
