《Master of Jade Cauldron》Book 1 Chapter 29 - Refining Business (1)
Advertisement
"Wife, are you sure that I could get fast money from selling those refined pills?" Long Feng still slightly worried with his own capability.
"Beloved Husband, I'm sure you will succeed." Nan Jing Jing assures him once again.
"Alright! If that's the case, I will go to obtain some ingredients from the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion. Wife, do you have any idea what type of pill I should refine to get the best results?" Long Feng finally agreed, but before that, he still needs to get an idea on what pill he should be focusing on refining.
"Since the Auction will be held in the Thunderburst Jade City, I believe that refining a Middle or Upper-Rank Thunder Spirit Pill would be the best. If you are confident, of course, you can try on refining the Second Grade Thunder Spirit Pills." Nan Jing Jing suggest.
"And also, you can consider about preparing a small amount of good quality medicine. The easiest to sell would be the Mystic Suction Pellet or the Calming Spirit Dew Pellet?" Nan Jing Jing suggests the second pill Long Feng should refine to sell.
"Thunder Spirit Pill would be a good idea. I have some experience in refining this specific pill, so the chances of successful refinement are higher. For the second type of pill, let us use something not that easy for the other to obtain." Long Feng scratched his head to look for an idea.
"How about Blood Refinement Pellet?" Nan Jing Jing came out with an idea again.
"Oh, that's right, the Blood Refinement Pellet. But this pill is the second toughest type of cultivating Medicine to refine, it won't be easy for me to refine it successfully every time." Long Feng says.
"Well, that is correct. But husband you have to remember, the market rarely has a large amount of Blood Refinement Pellet, so even if you only managed to concoct Low-Rank pills, it will still sell like hot buns." Nan Jing Jing explains. (I use bun instead of cake due to ancient ages is yet to have cake, LOL!)
"If that's the case, I will go to the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion to purchase some ingredients first." Long Feng immediately leave the Pill Hall and make his way quickly to the Pavilion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long Feng took an hour to complete all his purchase, and then return to the Bronze Pill Hall after the shopping spree ends.
"I can't believe that the 1600 Spirit Bronze Coins only managed to provide me a total of 20 sets of the Thunder Spirit Pill Ingredients and 6 sets of the Blood Refinement Pellet." Long Feng still heartache for the amount of money he spends.

"Even the ingredient is quite expensive. I wonder how much could I sell my batch of pills when it is completed." Long Feng doing some calculation in his mind. The bigger a batch of the Pills refined by one same Pill Master, the higher their pricing would be.
Long Feng managed to take a look on the Pills that was placed on the show table and noticed a few difference in its pricing.
Low-Rank First Stage Cultivation Pellets rates start at 50 Spirit Bronze Coins each, and this rates will remain still if a Pill Masters provide them less than 100 Pills each time. The price is double if the First Stage Cultivation Pellets is in their Middle-Rank, and Tripled at Upper-Rank.
For those masters that managed to provide them with more than 100 Pills each exchange, they provide a special rate, such as an additional 10 Spirit Bronze Coins each for below 1000 Pills exchanged, an additional 20 Spirit Bronze Coin each for below 5000 Pills exchanged.
But for the Blood Refinement Pellet, their rates are slightly different. This is also due to the difficulties to refine the ingredient perfectly, so the return from refining this ingredient doesn't always seem profitable.
The Blood Refinement Pellet rates start at 100 Spirit Bronze Coins each with the price stay the same unless the Pill Master provide them with more than 100 Pills. As the pills in exchanges exceed 100 pills, the rates of the bonus could be discussed.
And the rates are shown on top, is only for a Low-Rank First Stage Blood Refinement Pellet. If higher rank pills are provided, perhaps even better rates could be discussed as well.
While for the Tempering Pills, their rates usually start at 75 Spirit Bronze Coins for each Pill exchanged. Similar to the Cultivation Pellets, its rate would be doubled, if Middle-Rank is provided, and tripled if Upper-Rank pill is presented.
But tempering Pills is rarely on a huge demand, unless in their respective city. For Clear Jade City, the demand for Internal Flame Pill or Wood Fragrant Pill would be higher than Thunder Spirit Pills. But in Thunderburst Jade City, the demand of Thunder Spirit Pills and Earth Forming Pill would be higher.
Long Feng returned to his room, as he prepared for his refining procedures.
Since the sky is getting dark, it is also meant the amount of Yin Essence surrounding him would be greater than normal.
"Thunder Spirit Pill requires a condition of strong in Yang Essence to be refined properly, and the Blood Refinement Pellet requires condition of strong in Yin Essence instead. I will be preparing the Blood Refinement Pellet first, and continue with the Thunder Spirit Pills in the morning." Long Feng get himself ready with the basic preparations, and a knock came to his door.

"Is Long Feng within the room?" a voice could be heard from the other side of the door.
"Yes Senior, what do you need me for?" Long Feng opened the door, and answer the senior's calling.
"Junior Long Feng, I came on behalf of the Mission Department to retrieve back the ingredient still in your hand for the Internal Flame Pill Mission." the senior explains his arrival to his door this time, and request for the remaining ingredients to be given back.
"I am so sorry senior. Junior was recently in the Mission to the Forest of West Jade, and forgets about the Internal Flame Pills mission." Long Feng apologize for his lack of attention on completing his mission, as he returns the remaining ingredients to the senior.
"Your Internal Flame Pills in hand as well. This is the penalty for failure to complete the mission." The senior requested for the completed pills as well.
"Senior, must the completed pills to be collected as well?" Long Feng asked.
"Yes. That is the rules according to this failure mission slip. You will obtain a copy as well, to indicates that I have received back the remaining item exactly in the slip." the senior take the Internal Flame Pill away, and pass a piece of paper to Long Feng.
He leaves without even saying any other words and leaving Long Feng alone.
"Just like this, I lost all the refined pills and ingredients due to failure to complete the mission." Long Feng regretted.
"I must make sure I never forget any mission in between, so I would need to face this kind of penalty again!" Long Feng grit his teeth together, and make a promise to himself to not forget his remaining missions that are not completed. He then returns to continue with his refining process.
Next, Long Feng calm himself a little by consuming a Calming Spirit Dew Pellet. With the Yin Essence in the atmosphere is still strong, Long Feng position himself as he prepares to start refining the ingredients.
"First, prepare the three different Beast Blood in three separated pill furnace, and refine them until the impurity is gone from the blood."
"Next step, refine the stalk of Blue Spirit Grass. Extract all the available Blue Essence from the stalk and mix it into a Furnace with the three different pure beast blood."
"Refine all the ingredient together, and allow them to form naturally."
Long Feng tries his best to inject as much Essence Qi into the refining process as possible, hoping that some of his Sky Elemental properties would mix within the pills.
Although this method is not too effective, for the time being, this is the best method for Long Feng to make sure there is some remnant of the Sky Element managed to seeps within the Pills.
Long Feng first try came out as a result of four successfully refined Low-Rank First Stage Blood Refinement Pellet.
"I will need to work out on my skills in refining the pills and injecting sufficient amount of Essence Qi during the process. This would be better, as long as I practice and look for the tricks behind this all." Long Feng convinced himself that he would do better, and repeat the same process once again.
Then, from only spending a merely 30 minutes in each refining attempt, Long Feng's refining process extends into 40 minutes on his second time, 50 minutes on his third time, and reaching one hour on his forth. Finishing with his refining trials, Long Feng spends a total of 5 hours to refine all 6 portions of the Blood Refinement Pellets.
And as the result of his effort, he managed to obtain a total number of,
25 Low-Rank First Stage Blood Refinement Pellets, and 2 Middle-Ranked pellets.
"Maybe I should take a rest for now." Long Feng finally satisfied with his effort in trying his best to refine the 6 portion of the ingredient, and immediately rest, as he would need to continue with the Thunder Spirit Pills in the period where Yang Essence is most concentrated.
Long Feng then straightly fall asleep, due to the total of 5 hours effort trying to refine the best quality pills he could be based on his current cultivation strength.
After a total rest time for around 5 hours, Long Feng finally wakes up as the time clocked at exactly 12 o'clock afternoon.
this is the time where the Yang Essence is in its most concentrated period.
As Long Feng already used to the refining process of the Thunder Spirit Pill, he wastes no time and immediately starts with the process of refining the 20 portions of Thunder Spirit Pill ingredients.
By spending only a total of 30 minutes for each portion of the ingredient, Long Feng stops after 5 hours as he completed the refining process for 10 portions of ingredients.
And the results came out pretty good too, with a total of 40 Low-Rank First-Stage Thunder Spirit Pills, and another 40 Middle-Rank pills.
With the two different pills in his hand, Long Feng heads to the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion once again, attempting to sell what he has for now, and trying to obtain the same ingredients once again.

Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
