Chapter 739: Chapter 739: A Furnace of Elixirs Captures People’s Hearts

As everything was resolved, Peter Brown returned to Skyreach Mountain. After inspecting the area, he let out a sigh of relief, as everything seemed calm and there was nothing unusual happening.

Looking at the Spirit Field, Peter shook his head. It was a spur of the moment decision to start farming, but it held no significance for him. It would be better to give up this piece of land.

If there were no enemies, Peter could manage the Spirit Field well on Skyreach Mountain. However, with some enemies around, Peter wasn’t the best choice for managing the Spirit Field. The yields were not significant, and problems could arise.

But for now, he could only observe.

The Chore Disciples also noticed Peter’s return, and although they didn’t understand why he had returned alive, they still came forward to pay their respects, as Peter held their fate in his hands.

A hundred Chore Disciples!

Looking at them, Peter said, "My request for you is the same as before. Just do your job well, that’s all."

"Lord, when will our studies be taught?" A female captain named Crystal Parker asked.

Inside Skyreach Mountain, there were two female captains: Crystal Parker and Megan Jackson. Both of them had top-grade spiritual roots, making them quite talented.

At this moment, Peter also felt puzzled and asked, "How did you study before?"

Upon hearing this question, the Chore Disciples’ expressions darkened. A captain named Haven Collins sighed, "It actually depends on the circumstances of the person in charge of us. If the person is powerful, there will be plenty of Cultivation Techniques and Elixirs available for Cultivation. And, they will also get a steady explanation of Cultivation Techniques. This will help improve their cultivation quickly. We were sent here after offending someone, and not only do we face the threat of death, but it is also difficult to get access to Techniques and resources during our Cultivation."

After hearing this, Peter understood the situation better. The academy was actually leaving the fate of the Chore Disciples up to their own luck. If they were lucky enough to meet the right person, they would be provided with chances for development; otherwise, they might never have the opportunity to advance.

Understanding these matters, Peter calmly said, "Since you have mentioned the Cultivation issue, let me tell you about the rewards for your work. I will distribute the Spiritual Grain that should be handed over to you. As long as you work well, I’ll only claim 10% of the harvest from your field land, and the rest belongs to you. Also, I can refine a furnace of Elixirs every month for the top three teams who do their job well. You need to prepare your own Lingcao, and I will refine the Elixirs for you for free."

Peter’s words left everyone stunned. This offer was too good. Normally, the distribution of the harvest would be 90% for the landlord and 10% for the Chore Disciples. Now, Peter had reversed this. If they could manage the fields well, their income would be substantial.

Moreover, Peter offered to refine Elixirs for the top three teams, which was unheard of.

With Peter’s promise, everyone’s spirits were lifted.

Megan Jackson looked at Peter and asked, "Can the Lord perform Alchemy?"

Without saying more, Peter took out the Pill Furnace, and with a faint smile, said, "There are 100 of you. Whoever can help me collect some Lingcao used for refining Combined Strength Pills, please do so. I saw plenty of these Lingcao in our fields. Today I will refine a furnace of pills as a welcoming gift for you all."

"I’ll go pick them."

A captain named Ralph Smith volunteered and hurriedly went to collect them.

Soon, Ralph returned, and Peter saw that he had harvested enough Lingcao for ten sets of Elixirs.

It then occurred to Peter that the Alchemists in the academy usually refined pills with a 10 to 1 ratio for pill formation. No wonder Ralph had collected ten sets of Elixirs in a single attempt.

Refining Combined Strength Pills was not difficult for Peter. As everyone watched, he slapped the furnace, and the refining process was smoothly completed like a flowing cloud and water.

Upon finishing, everyone was astonished to see that, unlike other Alchemists, Peter did not refine the Lingcao one set at a time but threw all ten sets of Lingcao into the furnace at once.

He was attempting to refine all the Lingcao in one go!

No one had ever seen Alchemists in the academy do this before. The Alchemists in the academy were very arrogant, and they would always demand ten sets of Lingcao for one Elixir whenever they refined pills for them.

Peter Brown didn’t care about what everyone thought. His alchemy skills had reached a high level; he could even refine pills with his eyes closed.

He put ten Lingcao plants into the pill furnace, and with his divine sense, Peter examined the situation inside the furnace while adjusting the heat.

"Condense!"

With Peter’s condensing command, a continuous bouncing sound came from the pill furnace.

Could it really be successful?

The chore disciples stared intently at the pill furnace.

As Peter slapped the furnace’s lid, it flew up, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Looking inside the furnace, everyone’s eyes were wide open with astonishment as it was filled with elixirs.

How is this possible?!

Everyone was stunned—they had never heard that a furnace could yield so many pills. Peter had combined ten furnaces’ worth of Lingcao into one and succeeded!

How incredibly powerful!

Now, everyone saw Peter differently. They thought he was just someone sent here for punishment and might die at any moment, but now they knew the truth: Peter Brown was truly extraordinary.

"Hmm, I had good luck this time. The pills formed successfully in one attempt, and there was even a breakthrough, yielding 200 elixirs."

Having said that, Peter handed several jade bottles to Ralph Smith: "Ralph, can you help me distribute two pills each to everyone? You, team captains, get three pills apiece."

After finishing, Peter waved his hand, dismissing everyone.

Peter sat cross-legged in the courtyard, pondering his next step of development.

A Combined Strength Pill was given to him as a gift—it could raise one’s cultivation by one or two minor realms!

This event was a significant one for the Skyreach Mountain chore disciples. They were overwhelmed with excitement, sensing hope in following the Alchemist.

Maybe their lives really could change!

The more the chore disciples thought about it, the more excited they became.

Crystal Parker looked around and said, "Folks, I didn’t expect our good fortune to come. How do you think our lives will change under the leadership of such a remarkable lord?"

"I just saw Peter’s alchemy technique—it’s truly amazing! As long as we perform well, there will be plenty of benefits!" William Smith, another team captain, also nodded in agreement.

Crystal said earnestly, "Since our good fortune has arrived, it’s up to us to seize it. Lord Peter is an easygoing person. As long as everyone does their job well, I believe benefits will be endless. I’m stating this now—if anyone on our team doesn’t work hard, don’t blame me for disciplining them!"

The other captains made similar statements.

At this point, everyone expressed their commitment to following Peter Brown, and there were no more objections.

Peter himself didn’t know that the success of one furnace of pills had inspired his chore disciples to resolve to work harder. What he didn’t expect was that this group of chore disciples would later produce a few remarkable figures.
