Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Lin Jing frowned and looked around. The Alchemy Room had been left in a mess. The Three-legged Copper Furnace had been completely blown apart, its pieces scattered across the floor. Elixir Medicine residue was splattered everywhere, and a lot of it had even adhered directly onto Lin Jing's clothes. Wafts of pill fragrance emanated from the remnants of the Elixir Medicine, drilling into Lin Jing's nostrils. The scent of the pills was strong; it looked like the process had been successful. But the final explosion of the furnace left Lin Jing rather puzzled. "It seems I'll have to wait until my injuries heal before I can ask Ning Yue about it." With this thought, Lin Jing didn't linger. He bore the intense pain coming from his organs. Directly from his Storage Bag, he took out a Pure Jade Box, opened it, and placed the Elixir Medicine from inside into his mouth. This time, the explosion had left Lin Jing with serious injuries, especially to his organs, which ached unbearably. It was likely they had been cracked from the shock. To recover as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to consume a Flawless-level Blood Coagulation Pill. Upon entering his mouth, the pill instantly turned into pure Spiritual Power, flowing through his meridians into his limbs and bones. Ultimately, it reached his organs, slowly healing the wounds. The moment he swallowed the Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing felt much better. He hurriedly closed his eyes and circulated his Cultivation Technique to accelerate the healing process. ...... An hour later, Lin Jing stood up, moved his body a little, and found himself fully restored, with the previously injured organs now completely healed. By this time, he had made a full recovery. The effects of a Flawless-level Blood Coagulation Pill were truly extraordinary, allowing for such a swift recovery. "This Blood Coagulation Pill, if sold at the Fang Market, would be worth at least 600 Spirit Stones given the current market prices." Only now did Lin Jing feel a pang of regret. "What a pity, I accidentally lost 600 Spirit Stones due to carelessness. It seems I must be extra careful next time I practice Alchemy." Early the next day, Lin Jing found Ning Yue. "Ning Daoyou, I would like to ask you about some matters." Ning Yue responded with curiosity, "What's the matter? Please tell me, Lin Daoyou." "Ning Daoyou, you previously mentioned that refining second-grade Elixir Medicine requires at least Late Stage Qi Refining. Is there any way to start earlier?" "I want to try refining a few batches of second-grade Elixir Medicine." Ning Yue advised, "You shouldn't, it's very dangerous to attempt it now." "Didn't I tell you before? Alchemy places high demands on the strength of Divine Sense. The Divine Sense of someone at Mid-Stage Qi Refining is simply not sufficient." "Unless you have an exceptional talent and naturally strong Divine Sense, then you can ignore this condition." After hearing Ning Yue's words, Lin Jing nodded. "Hmm, not only you, but Elder Yu from Yuebaolou also mentioned this." At this point, Lin Jing paused. "But..." "A couple of days ago in Fang Market, I overheard that someone with Mid-Stage Qi Refining managed to refine second-grade Elixir Medicine, but at the last moment, he became mentally distracted and the furnace exploded." "However, there was still a fragrance of pills coming from the remnants of the Elixir Medicine. I wonder, what does this situation indicate?" "Such a thing happened?" Ning Yue frowned, pondering. A moment later, Ning Yue spoke again. "If there was a pill fragrance, it should indicate a successful refinement, but the explosion at the end could mean that he had reached his limit and his Divine Sense was unstable, leading to an error during the final Pill Formation." "Alternatively, it could be that his Pill Furnace wasn't up to the task, already at its limit during the Refining process." "Therefore, it exploded at the critical moment of Pill Formation." "One must know, second-grade Elixir Medicine is different from first-grade; the duration and difficulty of Refining, and the medicinal power contained within, are not comparable to that of first-grade pills, and a common Pill Furnace naturally wouldn't withstand it." Having heard Ning Yue's explanation, Lin Jing suddenly understood. "So that's how it is." At this moment, he also understood the reason for the explosion of his furnace, the Pill Furnace. His own cultivation was not sufficient, and his Divine Sense, boosted only by the enhancements of the Alchemy Room, barely allowed him to refine second-tier elixir medicines. Plus, his Three-legged Copper Furnace was the one he bought when he first started learning alchemy, recommended by Elder Yu and indeed it was quite good. However, it was only good for refining first-tier elixir medicines, and second-tier elixir medicines already exceeded the furnace's endurance limit. "It seems I need to buy a new Pill Furnace," Lin Jing mused. ...... In the afternoon, Lin Jing went to the Fang Market and headed straight to Yuebaolou. When Lin Jing arrived, there weren't many customers at Yuebaolou. Elder Yu was somewhat drowsy behind the counter. "Elder Yu, wake up..." "Guess what I've brought you?" As he spoke, he took out a pot of Qinghua Drunkenness and waved it in front of Elder Yu. "Kid, hand it over." Before the words were finished, the pot of wine in Lin Jing's hands had vanished, reappearing in Elder Yu's hands. Looking at Elder Yu now, he was spirited and lively, nowhere near his previously drowsy state. "Ah..." After taking a swig of the wine, Elder Yu let out a long, satisfied sigh. Then, with a squint, he looked at Lin Jing. "No one comes to the temple without a cause, tell me, what brings you here this time?" "I remember you bought alchemy ingredients not too long ago, you shouldn't be lacking any so soon." Lin Jing chuckled and said, "Heh heh..." "Elder Yu, it's like this, I want to buy a Pill Furnace." Elder Yu spoke up, "What, that Three-legged Copper Furnace of yours isn't working anymore?" After saying this, he suddenly realized something and quickly changed his tune, "Right, your alchemy skills are pretty decent now, that Three-legged Copper Furnace really does need to be replaced." Lin Jing lowered his head, somewhat embarrassedly saying: "Not exactly... Elder Yu, that Three-legged Copper Furnace, I accidentally caused it to explode during alchemy, and it broke." "Broke?" Elder Yu exclaimed in surprise, then stroked his chin. "I'm beginning to wonder how exactly you refine, not only is your alchemy speed fast, but you're also fiercely vigorous, even managing to damage a six-refinement stove like the Three-legged Copper Furnace." "Well, it happens that you need a new Pill Furnace anyway. You wait here for a moment, I will get a furnace for you." Without waiting for Lin Jing to speak again, he left the counter and headed behind the shelves. Soon after, Elder Yu returned. And in his hands, he was carrying a fire-red colored Pill Furnace, with cloud patterns swirling around its body, looking quite extraordinary. Only, this Pill Furnace did not seem large, even slightly smaller than the Three-legged Copper Furnace. Elder Yu walked over, placed the Pill Furnace on the counter with a "thud," indicating that despite its size, it was not light at all. "This Pill Furnace is called the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace, and it is forged from Fire Meteor Iron." "Moreover, there are four patterns carved on the body of the furnace, which can make the alchemist more at ease during the alchemy process, a truly rare Magic Artifact, whether refining first or second-tier elixir medicines, it's incredibly easy." "Even if you are refining third-tier elixir medicines, it will not cause any issues." "Also, this Pill Furnace is a Magic Artifact, it contains some star sands mixed within, and after Refinement, you can change its size at will." "Magic Artifact..." Lin Jing looked at the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace and swallowed his saliva. "This Pill Furnace must require quite a large number of Spirit Stones, right?"
