"The herbs are gone! But there’s no shortage of Artifact Refining materials!" "When the Artifact Refining materials are used up, I can still make talismans, study arrays, and craft puppets!" Thinking of all the secondary professions he could train in, Li Yunjing’s expression returned to calm. It’s as if he was in a remote place like "Yellow Dragon Ridge," in seclusion for cultivation! Finding joy in his hardships, Li Yunjing could only comfort himself in this way. As he thought about it, Li Yunjing fell into a deep sleep. Early the next morning, after a full day of rest, Li Yunjing felt energized and refreshed. "Senior Brother Wang should be arriving soon!" Li Yunjing tidied up and took out the "True Essence Pills" he had prepared in advance, placing them on the table, waiting for Senior Brother Wang to come and pick them up. "Knock! Knock! Knock!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Senior Brother Wang came knocking at the door. Along with him were three other fellow sect members. Obviously, they followed to see Li Yunjing’s alchemy results. After a while, Li Yunjing’s voice came from inside the room: "Just a moment, I’ll be right there." Shortly after, Li Yunjing walked to the door and opened it. Seeing the four fellow disciples arriving together, Li Yunjing smiled lightly and stepped aside, inviting them into the room. This house was temporarily built by cultivators of the "Yin Mountain Sect," so naturally, it wasn’t very comfortable. Upon entering, there was the main hall. The windows of the room had already been opened by Li Yunjing, making it very bright under the sunlight. The main hall was quite simple, with only a square table at the front, with some tea sets on it, and beside the tea sets was a jade bottle. "Senior Brother Wang, these are the pills I refined for you, please check them." Without much formality, Li Yunjing invited everyone into the house, pointed to the jade bottle on the table, and said with a smile. Senior Brother Wang feigned surprise and said with a smile, "Alright! Let me take a look at the pills first." Senior Brother Wang and his three companions came with one purpose in mind. Senior Brother Wang walked to the table, picked up the jade bottle, removed the stopper, and poured out seven "True Essence Pills." Instantly, a medicinal fragrance filled the main hall. Senior Brother Wang and the other three disciples took a deep breath, feeling that the fragrance of the "True Essence Pills" was pure and without any issues. Senior Brother Wang inspected each pill, and his face suddenly changed, exclaiming in surprise, "Eighth Grade ’True Essence Pill’?" "Hehe! By chance, there are two Eighth Grade pills. One for you and one for me." Li Yunjing smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down. He personally poured tea for them. With such a confident demeanor, he was no different from an Alchemy Master. "Junior Brother Li! Truly impressive!" Senior Brother Wang gave Li Yunjing a thumbs up. The praise was heartfelt. Li Yunjing’s skills were worthy of any praise. The three who came with Senior Brother Wang also praised him and asked Senior Brother Wang for the Eighth Grade "True Essence Pills" to inspect them carefully. Confirming that the pills were indeed freshly made, the three had the idea of asking Li Yunjing to refine pills for them as well. But before they could speak, Senior Brother Wang said, "Junior Brother Li, I’ll take over your four-day duty and I still have some materials left. Can you help me make four more batches of ’True Essence Pills’?" "Junior Brother Li! We don’t have many ’True Essence Pills’ left either, can you make some for us too?" "Yes! Please help us, Junior Brother Li!" "We’ll help with your duty as well!" The three hurriedly spoke up, unwilling to miss out on the opportunity. The three pleaded with Li Yunjing to refine pills for them. Currently, Li Yunjing was the only Tier Two alchemy master in "Yellow Dragon Ridge," making him extremely valuable. If they didn’t get in line for pills now, who knew how long they’d have to wait in the future to get "True Essence Pills"? Once the Yin Mountain Sect’s retaliation came and a battle ensued, Li Yunjing wouldn’t have time for alchemy, which would affect their subsequent cultivation with a dwindling supply of "True Essence Pills." The extra day in line meant more uncertainty; no one wanted to wait! Especially as Senior Brother Wang claimed all of Li Yunjing’s time for four days; what was he doing, monopolizing the master? Seeing the four being so enthusiastic and unwilling to back down, Li Yunjing was overjoyed, knowing the moment he had anticipated had arrived. With these Tier Two materials, his alchemy cultivation was sure to advance by leaps and bounds! Using others’ materials for practice, getting a share of the pills, and not having to participate in patrols—such a deal was incredibly fortunate. Li Yunjing cleared his throat, and the four turned their gazes to him, each showing an expectant look. "Let’s do it this way! Give me your materials, and you’ll cover my six days of duty among yourselves. I’ll notify you when the pills are ready, how about that?" Li Yunjing offered his solution, asking softly. "Alright! We’ll follow Master’s lead!" Someone had already started calling him Master Li. Li Yunjing held all the cards, and though the others might be discontented, they had no choice but to agree. Li Yunjing examined the materials they handed over, checked the quantities and quality, and noted down the amount of "True Essence Pills" each one should receive. Once that was done, he saw Senior Brother Wang and the other three out. As for how they scheduled their duties, that was no longer Li Yunjing’s concern.
