Chapter 180: Fifth-Rank Alchemist, the Imperial Court’s Discussion

After Chen Yawei and her sister left, Lu Yun fell into deep thought.

The situation of the Pill Building is neither complicated nor simple, but it is definitely not simple, at least it cannot be solved in a short time.

First of all, there are few types of pills, which cannot meet diversified needs.

Secondly, the quality is low, especially the pills for advanced cultivation, which contain many impurities. Every time they are used, it takes a lot of time to expel the pill poison.

In the final analysis, it is still the poor level of the alchemists in the Pill Building. It is not so easy to improve the level of alchemy.

The simplest way is to disband all these alchemists and recruit new ones.

But there are only a few alchemists in the Martial Academy, so it is good to have them.

It is also easy for Lu Yun to improve. With his identity as the "honorary deacon" of the Lingzhou Alchemist Alliance Headquarters, he can hire some high-level alchemists to settle in the Pill Building.

However, does such a Pill Building still belong to the Martial Academy?

This one is obviously impossible.

The only way is to improve the level of the alchemists in the Pill Building.

This is precisely the biggest difficulty. It is not easy to improve the level of alchemy, and it is impossible to complete it in a short time. After all, not everyone is as abnormal as Lu Yun, who relies entirely on adding points.

"From this point of view, the problems currently faced by the Pill Building are still somewhat unsolvable."

Lu Yun stroked his chin and thought.

He could also refine it himself, but he did not have so much time, and he alone could not maintain the operation of the Pill Building.

At most, he could guarantee that during his time at the Martial Academy, he could supply high-grade pills.

If he was not there, he would still have to trade with the Alchemist Alliance.

"Master, this is the pill recipe you want, all of which are above the fourth grade."

Huang Qi put a pile of scrolls of different colors on the table.

Lu Yun glanced at it and saw that there were only fourteen scrolls.

The scrolls recording the fourth-grade pill recipes were green, with the largest number, a total of seven.

The scrolls of the fifth-grade pill recipes were cyan, with a total of five.

However, the colors of these five cyan scrolls vary in color. The light cyan scrolls are the recipes for ordinary fifth-grade elixirs, and there are four of them.

The dark cyan scroll is the recipe for the top fifth-grade elixir, and there is only one.

The remaining two are blue scrolls, sixth-grade recipes.

Then, Huang Qi took out a Xumi ring and handed it to Lu Yun.

"Master, this is all the spiritual medicines above the fourth grade accumulated in the Pill Building. I have ordered people to classify them. You can check it out."

"Well, Elder Huang has worked hard."

Lu Yun took the Xumi ring and stood up immediately, saying: "Well, Elder Huang, I would like to trouble you to take me to the alchemy room to have a look."

"Okay."

...

"Elder Huang."

"The Holy Son is here."

Huang Qi first took Lu Yun to visit the alchemy room used by the alchemists in the Pill Building, and finally took him to a separate alchemy room.

This alchemy room used to belong to the master of the Pill Building, and was used exclusively by Huang Qi.

But now that Lu Yun is here, the ownership will naturally be transferred.

Lu Yun took a glance and found that the layout of this alchemy room was similar to the one he had in the Alchemist Alliance.

There was a place dedicated to alchemy, a practice room for meditation and restoring the mind, and a special storage room.

In addition, this alchemy furnace looked more advanced.

"Master, please see if you want to add some more configurations."

Lu Yun shook his head, "That's good. Next, I will start to make alchemy with all my heart. If there is nothing important, don't let others disturb me."

"In addition, do your best to collect spiritual medicines above the fourth grade."

"Okay, master."

Huang Qi smiled faintly after leaving. With such a hard-working master, his burden was greatly reduced.

"Listen to me, everyone. No one is allowed to disturb the master, otherwise he will be expelled from the Alchemy Building."

After giving this order, he left with peace of mind.

The door of the alchemy room slowly closed, and Lu Yun spread his palm and casually took out a green scroll.

It was the recipe for Huiyuan Pill.

Lu Yun's mental power swept over it, memorizing the contents of the recipe, and then looking for the corresponding spiritual medicine from the Xumi Ring.

Sure enough, the spiritual medicine inside had been classified, and there were about twenty materials for refining Huiyuan Dan.

The main reason was that another main material was missing, otherwise there would be more than thirty.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay chopping wood, first upgrade the alchemy to level five."

Thinking of this, Lu Yun opened the panel.

[Name]: Lu Yun

[Energy value]: 4484 (automatically increased by four per day)

[Skill]: Alchemy level four (81%)

Level four alchemy can be upgraded by one progress for every hundred energy values, and the remaining energy value is more than enough to upgrade the alchemy to level five.

"Upgrade."

[Consume four thousand energy values,...]

At the moment when the energy value dropped sharply to four hundred and eighty-four, a figure appeared in Lu Yun's mind.

This is a middle-aged man in a gray robe. He has been refining pills for decades. Finally, when his hair turned gray, he finally upgraded his alchemy to the fourth level.

At the same time, all his improvement process was transformed into memories and poured into Lu Yun's mind.

After digesting the memory, Lu Yun suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were less immature and more mature and wise.

"Panel."

[Name]: Lu Yun

[Energy value]: 484 (automatically increased by four per day)

[Skill]: Alchemy level 5 (4%)

"With the fifth-level alchemy technique and the fourth-level White Lotus Flame, what is the quality rate of the fourth-grade elixir?"

Lu Yun smiled faintly, opened the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the elixir.

Two days later.

The Huiyuan Pills were all refined, and the shelf next to them was filled with twenty crystal green jade bottles.

If you look closely, you can see that seventeen of the bottles are darker in color, and the other two are lighter in color.

That's right, twenty portions of materials, not a single one is wasted, and the success rate is 100%.

Moreover, on average, nine of the elixir pills in each furnace of Huiyuan Pills are fine pills with elixir patterns.

Such a high success rate would have shocked Huang Qi if he saw it.

Such a terrifying quality rate would have made Elder Huang prostrate himself and say, "The owner of the building is awesome, His Highness the Holy Son is invincible."

Unfortunately, he couldn't see this scene, and in the end he couldn't see so many elixirs.

"I'm a little sleepy, let's take a rest."

Lu Yun took ten bottles of pills and walked into the lounge.

Ten bottles of pills were placed in front of him, all of which were fine pills with pill patterns.

Looking at the pills in front of him, Lu Yun smiled faintly.

These are all his labor fees.

The pure Yang Gang Yuan surged, wrapped all the pills, and began to refine.

About half an hour later.

[Name]: Lu Yun

[Energy value]: 20484 (automatically increased by four per day)

[Skill]: Alchemy Level 5 (4%)

Ordinary fourth-grade pills will only gain about 1,500 to 1,700 contribution points after refining.

And a bottle of fine Huiyuan Pills contributes 2,000 energy points.

This is the benefit of fine pills, and this is the role of the evil alchemist.

"Continue to improve."

[Consume 10,000 energy points,...]

[Consume 10,000 energy points,...]

Soon, 20,000 energy points were consumed.

At the same time, the gray middle-aged man in his mind looked similar to the one who appeared before.

Seeing this figure, Lu Yun couldn't help but doubt his previous judgment in his heart. The gray-robed middle-aged man didn't have much in common with himself, and he didn't match his future self.

"Panel."

[Name]: Lu Yun

[Energy value]: 484 (automatically increased by four per day)

[Skill]: Alchemy Level 5 (44%)

When the alchemy reaches level 5, it takes 500 energy points to improve one progress, which is a huge consumption.

However, only by sharpening the knife can you chop more and better firewood.

Lu Yun understood this principle very well.

After resting for half an hour, Lu Yun continued to make pills after his spirit and energy were restored to their peak state.

...

As time passed, a piece of news quickly spread in Lingwu County.

After half a month of fierce fighting, the king of Yunmeng Mountains was killed by two Fuzhong Realm masters of Canglang Corps, hundreds of thousands of monsters were defeated, and the Black Tiger Army, with the help of Canglang Corps, entered Yunmeng Mountains.

So far, Yunmeng Mountains have been completely incorporated into the territory of Dayuan Lingzhou.

Half a month after Lu Yun's retreat, another piece of news came out.

General Chu Zhongtian, the Zhenxi General, killed an eighth-level peerless beast with an invincible posture, and won a great victory in the Yixiantian battlefield.

With the momentum of a great victory, the main force of Canglang Corps went deep into the Shiwan Mountains, and the Zhengxi Army advanced to the Endless Wilderness to expand the territory for Lingzhou.

Dayuan calendar, April of the 835th year.

One month after Lu Yun's retreat, Lingzhou established another county, named Yuanwu.

Yuanwu County, the 37th county of Lingzhou, was appointed by the Zhongzhou Imperial Court after its establishment, and Dugu Chen of the Dugu family was appointed as the county governor.

The Dugu family is one of the top ten families in Zhongzhou.

Dugu Chen, the eldest grandson of the Dugu family, is extremely gifted. He is already in the middle stage of the Golden Body Realm at the age of only 28. This time he was appointed as the governor of Yuanwu County for gilding.

On the second day of the establishment of Yuanwu County, the Canglang Army flattened the five major mountain ranges of the Ten Thousand Mountains and continued to go deeper.

At the same time, the Great Yuan Demon Suppression Army also became restless and began to recruit troops, aiming at the hundreds of sects outside the domain.

Zhongzhou Imperial Court.

Civil and military officials gathered.

On the throne, a man wearing a golden dragon robe, a hair crown, a majestic face, and eyes like a vast galaxy, sat on the throne, exuding a terrible aura all the time, so that the civil and military officials in the hall dared not look directly at him.

The second generation of Yuan Emperor.

At this time.

The hall was almost silent, and only a person in court clothes came out to report things.

"A month ago, the White Lotus Sect was active in all counties of Lingzhou. Many talented talents were forcibly abducted. What's worse, even the county government was occupied.

At the same time, other sects were active in Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou, intending to abduct the talents of our Great Yuan and rob the luck of the human race.

I think that our Great Yuan Demon Suppression Army should be fully deployed to eliminate the Hundred Sects in one fell swoop and completely eliminate the future troubles."

After saying this, the man retreated again.

The Yuan Emperor looked at the ministers below, and his expression did not change much.

"My lords, do you have any opinions on the matter of the Hundred Sects?"

"Your Majesty!"

An old man in evergreen court robes, with a white beard and a ruddy face, walked out from the side.

"Our Great Yuan is now fighting monsters with all its strength and going deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Endless Wilderness at the same time. It is already the limit. If there is another conflict with the Hundred Sects, it may be disadvantageous to the battlefields of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Endless Wilderness.

I think that the current mission of our Great Yuan should be to drive out the monsters and expand the territory. As for the Hundred Sects, we only need to frighten them a little with the Demon Suppression Army. There is no need to completely break up with them. "

After the words fell, one person stepped out soon.

"I do not agree with Qin Yushi's opinion. Now the Hundred Sects are constantly inciting people in our Great Yuan, plundering people, killing the imperial court, and their intention to seize the fortune of our Great Yuan is obvious.

Moreover, under the leadership of your majesty, our Great Yuan is growing stronger day by day, far beyond the control of the Hundred Sects and monsters. "

Taiwei Gao Yuan bowed his hands and said righteously.

"I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!"

More than half of the ministers in the hall supported Taiwei Gao Yuan.

The Yuan Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, still had no change in his expression. His eyes shifted slightly and looked at an elderly man. The other party was calm from beginning to end and did not say a word.

"Prime Minister Hu, do you have anything to say about this matter? "

Hearing this, the old man who had been calm and composed finally perked up and slowly bowed.

"Your Majesty, this matter involves the Demon Suppression Army and the Patrol Department. I think we should consult the two army leaders and the department leader."

"Good." Emperor Yuan nodded lightly, glancing at the general wearing armor and with a deep aura like the sun.

This man is the leader of the Demon Suppression Army.

"Your Majesty, I think the Hundred Sects are always a scourge. If they are not completely eradicated, they will inevitably shake the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, the power of the Hundred Sects cannot be underestimated, especially the Red Moon Demon Sect, the Tianxuan Sword Sect, the Qingyun Sect, etc., which all have powerful celestial beings sitting in front of them. The sects have a deeper foundation, not only with a large formation to protect the sect, but also with the sect's treasures.

It is possible to intimidate the Hundred Sects with the strength of the Demon Suppression Army, but if a full-scale war is launched with the Hundred Sects... it is not enough.

Moreover, the Demon-Slaying Army needs to ensure a steady supply of support as it goes deep into the wilderness. If the Demon-Suppressing Army goes to war with the Hundred Sects again, with the current strength of the Yuan Dynasty, it may not be able to hold on. "

Hearing this, all the ministers in the hall fell into deep thought.

Of course, they could think of this problem, but different positions lead to different opinions.

Emperor Yuan's face remained calm, and he looked at another old man.

"Master Yuan, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, according to the reports from the Patrol Guards and Patrol Angels at all levels, the Hundred Sects have infiltrated various places, and even some aristocratic families have connections with the Hundred Sects. It can be seen that the harm of the Hundred Sects is no less than that of the demon beasts. "

Yuan He replied with a bow.

The Sky Patrol Division under his charge patrolled the world and had the clearest understanding of the situation in the twelve states of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and was most aware of the harm of the Hundred Sects.

Just when everyone thought that Yuan He agreed to go to war with the Hundred Sects, he changed his tone.

"However, Youzhou, Yanzhou and Lingzhou are all using troops at the moment, and the Demon-Slaying Army has penetrated deep into the Endless Wilderness, almost tying up 50% of the power of our Great Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, if we go to war with the Hundred Sects, we cannot be sure of victory, and fighting on two fronts may even drag the Great Yuan Dynasty into the quagmire of war.

At that time, if some disloyal families and the Hundred Sects cooperate with each other, the consequences will be unpredictable.

But the Hundred Sects are eyeing our Great Yuan Dynasty covetously, and have repeatedly seized our people and killed our Great Yuan Dynasty court officials. They are very rampant. If no action is taken, they will inevitably become more arrogant.

Therefore, I believe that we should dispatch the Demon-Suppressing Army to eliminate the White Lotus Sect and the Red Moon Demon Sect, etc., in order to deter the Hundred Sects and promote the power of our Great Yuan Dynasty. "

"I second the motion!"

"Your Highness and I second the motion!"

At this moment, except for the Grand Marshal and the Prime Minister, all the ministers in the hall spoke out in support of Yuan He.

The Emperor Yuan hesitated for a moment.

"The Hundred Sects are a threat to our human race, and their threat is no less than that of the monsters. Therefore, our Great Yuan cannot tolerate the Hundred Sects and cannot coexist with them.

However, the main goal at present is to expel the monsters and expand the territory of our Great Yuan.

When our Great Yuan establishes three more states, we will surely wipe out the Hundred Sects in one fell swoop."

At this point, the Emperor Yuan had already stood up from the throne, and a deep and domineering aura of the emperor burst out.

"Prime Minister Hu!"

The calm Hu Xiu suddenly became energetic.

"I am here."

"I order you to mobilize the resources of the twelve states of the Great Yuan with all your strength to ensure that the Demon Suppression Army can go out within a month. You can do it."

Hu Xiu bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely not drag my feet. "

The Yuan Emperor nodded calmly, and then his eyes fell on the leader of the Demon Suppression Army.

"Xiahou Shu, come forward and listen to my orders."

After he finished speaking, Xiahou Shu stepped out.

"I am here!"

"I order you to lead the Demon Suppression Army to conquer the Hundred Sects. This battle must make the Hundred Sects tremble with fear, and they will not dare to enter our Yuan Dynasty for a hundred or even a thousand years. Can you do it?"

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Xiahou Shu took the order solemnly.

"Okay!"

The Yuan Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then his eyes turned to the other two people.

The two people are Wu Wudi, the dean of Yuanwu Academy, and Gu Chenfeng, the president of the Alchemist Alliance.

"How are the preparations of the Martial Academy and the Alchemist Alliance going?"

"I have conveyed your majesty's order to the martial arts academies in the twelve states. On the day when the Demon Suppression Army sets out, our martial arts academy will dispatch at least thirty-six Fuzhong Realm powerhouses and one thousand Jinshen Realm warriors. "Wu Wudi said calmly.

Gu Chenfeng also said: "My Alchemist Alliance will definitely do its best to ensure the supply of elixirs for the Demon Suppression Army."

Emperor Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, my Great Yuan is united, there is no need to fear the monsters, and there is no need for the hundreds of sects to cause trouble!"

...
