The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 201: Clear Mind Pill

Thirty spirit stones, this price is actually quite good.

Although it doesn't seem high, but for Chen An, this batch of pills originally had no cost.

In other words, these thirty spirit stones are pure profit.

Thinking about it this way, it feels much better all of a sudden.

According to the conversion ratio between Jinling Stones and Source Power, this is thirty points of Source Power.

Thirty points of Source Power is also not bad.

This is just the result of one day's work.

One day is thirty points of Source Power, so there are nine hundred in a month.

Isn't this a good deal?

Of course, this is only theoretical.

In practice, once there are too many pills, their value will definitely depreciate, and who knows if the Clear Wind Pavilion will stop accepting them in the future.

More importantly, this is just too tiring.

Isn't it?

In order to refine this pile of pills in front of him, Chen An basically didn't go out today, he spent the whole day refining pills in the alchemy room.

The intensity of work, the level of concentration, are all at a level that would make other alchemists amazed.

That's the so-called 996.

Chen An embarked on the path of cultivation not just for a 996 job.

It's okay occasionally like today, but if it goes on for a long time, Chen An may not have time to do other things.

This is a typical case of losing sight of the big picture.

So this can't go on in the long run.

Chen An thought about it.

Since he can cheat through upgrading templates now, he just needs to make use of this advantage.

In other words, he should learn more pill recipes.

After all, the Little Elemental Pill is a basic pill, not only with a single effect, but many people can refine it themselves, so it doesn't sell for much.

Other pills are different.

Those with high difficulty in refining, wide range of uses, and high markups are all abundant in the alchemy room.

Are these not better than ordinary Little Elemental Pills?

Chen An made up his mind and then turned and left.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to take two Jinling Stones from Manager Liu.

No need to carry spirit stones.

Although spirit stones are not heavy, thirty spirit stones still have some weight.

Two Jinling Stones are much more convenient to carry, one hand can take them away.

Chen An walked away, leaving Manager Liu with a chic figure.

Looking at Chen An's departing figure, Manager Liu seemed to be thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.

Time slowly passed.

In the following time, Chen An continued to study in the alchemy room.

He deliberately revealed his excellent skills in refining Little Elemental Pills a few times, successfully attracting the admiration of people like Yellow Alchemist, and then took the opportunity to request to learn other pill recipes.

To be honest, this request is a bit beyond the scope.

Although the alchemy room will teach basic alchemy techniques, they will not teach pill recipes.

Basic pill recipes like the Little Elemental Pill are fine, after all, there are too many people who know them, so it doesn't matter whether they are taught or not.

But other pill recipes are different.

These thoughts are not only rare and precious, but even the pill recipes of alchemists are hard to come by, and many people can't obtain them even if they pay a high price.

However, in the end, Yellow Alchemist still met Chen An's request.

This is because of Chen An's extraordinary talent.

After several performances by Chen An, many alchemists in the alchemy room unanimously believe that Chen An is definitely a genius in the field of alchemy, and most likely will surpass them and become a well-known alchemist nearby.

For such a rising star, it is natural to cultivate him.

After all, this is also to cultivate talents for the Haoshan Sect, it is a matter of public interest.

Of course, under this public interest, the gifts that Chen An gave in private also played a little role.

However, whether it is Chen An or the several alchemists, they all remain silent, as if nothing had happened.

Chen An is actually quite distressed in private.

Since joining the Haoshan Sect, his scattered expenses have not exceeded two hundred spirit stones in total.

However, this time, in order to pave the way and open the door for Yellow Alchemist and other alchemy stewards to help him, he gave out quite a few gifts.

In total, the value of these gifts alone exceeded three hundred spirit stones, more than half of Chen An's current wealth.

This is really painful.

Fortunately, such a huge investment still pays off in the end.

Not long after, Chen An received a new pill recipe and began a new round of learning.

Among the alchemists in the alchemy room, the relationship between Yellow Steward and Chen An is the best and most conscientious, so he deliberately taught Chen An a few pointers, spending a bit of time to teach him the essentials of pill refining, and telling him the important points of refining this pill.

This made Chen An somewhat comforted.

Fortunately, the money was not spent in vain.

In the following period of time, Chen An completely entered the phase of burning money.

His upgrade template can directly enhance the control of pill recipes, but this enhancement requires Chen An to have already grasped the corresponding pill recipe.

According to previous standards of the Little Elemental Pill, he should be able to freely refine a furnace of pills, and the furnace should have a qualified finished product.

Before reaching this level, even the upgrade template cannot cheat.

At this moment, Chen An is working hard towards this goal.

He invested most of his time here, hanging around in the alchemy room every day, almost staying there every day.

His almost crazy appearance made many onlookers look at him with suspicion, thinking that he might have some problem.

You're refining pills all day long, aren't you cultivating?

They expressed their doubts, but alchemists like Yellow Steward showed appreciation and support.

In their view, only with Chen An's attitude can he achieve results.

Otherwise, if he is lazy like others, how can he go far on the path of pill refining?

Although Chen An knows about their thoughts, he does not fully agree.

But it is undeniable that such crazy practice has its effects.

After two months of hard work, Chen An finally succeeded.

Name: Chen An

Attributes: Strength (11.2), Physique (11.7), Spirit (3.8)

Source Power: 1374

Inheritance: Icebound Miles (Initial Mastery), Profound Ice Force (First Layer of Innate), Haoshan Scripture (First Layer), Little Elemental Pill (Perfection), Clear Mind Pill (Mastery)

Projection: Charging

The familiar attribute panel appeared in front of him.

Chen An's eyes turned red, looking at the data in the inheritance column in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not easy.

After more than two months of hard work, he finally succeeded.

In the inheritance column, the new pill recipe has been revealed, just like the Little Elemental Pill before.

The pill recipe he has been studying recently is called the Clear Mind Pill.

As the name suggests, the Clear Mind Pill is a pill that can calm the mind and increase enlightenment, which is very beneficial for cultivators, can be used in many ways, and consumes a lot.

The consumption amount is large, the difficulty in refining is high, and the selling price is high.

Chen An specifically inquired outside.

In the market outside, one spirit stone can buy several Little Elemental Pills, but the selling price of one Clear Mind Pill is at least two spirit stones.

If the quality is good, the price will be even higher.

At first glance at a pile of pill recipes, Chen An directly chose this pill recipe.

Of course, although this pill is effective, the difficulty in refining is indeed quite high.

At least after so long, Chen An has only slightly grasped some tricks, and can barely refine one or two pills.

With his current level, if he really wants to refine pills by himself and sell them, he will probably lose a lot.

But that's okay.

For the upgrade template, just being able to do this is enough.

The rest is just cheating.

Chen An rubbed his hands nervously, then nodded at the inheritance column again.

"Would you like to upgrade?"

The familiar words appeared in front of Chen An, directly in front of him.

Chen An naturally didn't hesitate, and directly chose to confirm.

Swipe

In an instant, one hundred Source Power disappeared directly.

The Clear Mind Pill is much more advanced than the Little Elemental Pill, and the effect is much better.

However, the higher the level, the more expensive it is to upgrade.

The first upgrade cost Chen An one hundred Source Power.

"So expensive."

Chen An's mouth twitched, even though he was mentally prepared, at this moment he still felt a sense of suffocation.

But since he has come this far, he will not hesitate, and directly continued to nod.

Continue upgrading!

Swipe

The light in front of him flourished, with purple Source Power burning, rushing forward.

Then Chen An was startled again.

It's not that his mental composure is lacking, but the amount of Source Power he lost this time is a bit high.

It's not one or two hundred, but a full five hundred.

Five hundred?

Chen An is already at the Innate realm, and now it only takes two hundred Source Power to upgrade once, which is less than the amount needed for this pill recipe.

Chen An didn't expect that, just a pill recipe, the final required Source Power for upgrade is higher than upgrading once in his cultivation.

If he had known, he wouldn't have upgraded so harshly.

Chen An regretted secretly.

But now it's too late for regrets.

The only thing he can do now is to work hard to refine pills, and then make the money back.

Thinking of this, Chen An gritted his teeth, his eyes focused on the pill furnace in front of him.

In the following time, the room in the alchemy room was constantly filled with noises, and the roaring of the pill furnace never stopped, and the noise was very loud.

It wasn't until near dusk that Chen An walked out somewhat tired.

For Chen An's figure, people around have become accustomed to it, and just smiled and checked the materials consumed, then waved their hands to let Chen An leave.

Chen An paid the spirit stones, then left, and went back to the Clear Wind Pavilion.

Under Manager Liu's astonished gaze, he took out the fruits of today's efforts.

A total of twenty extremely exquisite Clear Mind Pills.

Ordinary Clear Mind Pills are probably two spirit stones each.

However, the Clear Mind Pills refined by Chen An have a very good quality, almost perfect in appearance, so they can naturally be sold at a higher price.

In the end, Manager Liu purchased them for five spirit stones each, taking them all away.

One hundred spirit stones were directly credited to Chen An's account.

Chen An breathed a sigh of relief.

He's been through a lot.

Calculating carefully, his wallet has been empty for a long time, and has reached the bottom.
