7 Chapter 5: Light Body Skill_2
Translator: 549690339
His current attribute panel is:
[Light Body Skill Master; 0/1600]
[Luck Value: 6257]
With the fire-controlling skill for battles and the light body skill for quick escapes, his survival ability has significantly improved.
Next on his upgrade list is the capability to make money Alchemy Skill!
Xu Mu now knows how to make two types of pills.
One is the Fasting Pill!
The other is the Qi Gathering Pill!
Both are low-grade, tier one pills, but their values vary greatly.
The Qi Gathering Pill is almost ten times more valuable than the Fasting Pill.
The value of a pill depends not only on the ingredients but also on the difficulty in making and its rarity.
Fasting Pills can be substituted with affordable food, causing it to be cheap.
The Qi Gathering Pill cant be substituted!
Thus, the price of the Qi Gathering Pill remains high.
Similarly, their ingredients costs differ the Qi Gathering Pill requires more expensive ingredients, which restricts Xu Mu from practicing.
As for which pill to improve on, the answer is quite obvious!
Another day has passed!
Xu Mu has promoted his ability to create the Qi Gathering pill to the Grandmaster Realm.
His mind is filled with abundant experience in Qi Gathering Pill production. Unfortunately, he lacks the necessary materials to experiment.
The remaining Luck Value could take his Qi Gathering Pill production skill into a Grandmaster Realm, but Xu Mu did not do it.
Because its too stupid!
The skill for crafting Qi Gathering Pills at master level can already reduce the failure rate to zero.
Further promotion in such a situation would simply be a waste.
While its true that the higher the Alchemy Skill, the better the quality of the produced pill.
However, in Xu Mus current situation, if the pill quality is too high, it may attract unnecessary trouble.
If it werent for his current weak foundation and fear of failure, he wouldnt have upgraded to the perfection level.
Next, he promoted his primary martial method, Spirit Flame Jue, to the perfection level, increasing his cultivation speed by one-third.
Almost everyone uses the Spirit Flame Jue cultivation method, besides amplifying Fire Skills, it doesnt have any other effect.
Having reached perfection level with Spirit Flame Jue, Xu Mu decided not to upgrade it further.
Considering that he might consume a large number of pills in the future, the effect of Spirit Flame Jue will be significantly reduced, so continuing to upgrade it doesnt seem cost-effective.
Moreover, he was thinking about switching to a more powerful martial method in the future.
His current attribute panel is:
[Name: Xu Mu]
[lifespan: 62/104]
[Realm: Qi Cultivation Level 3; 328/400]
[martial method: Spirit Flame Jue Perfection; 0/800]
[Skill:]
Alchemy:
Fasting Pill Proficiency; 241/400, Qi Gathering Pill Master; 0/1600
Skill:
Fire-controlling Skill Grandmaster; 0/3200, Fireball Skill Proficiency; 129/200, Wind Blade Skill Proficiency; 108/200, Light Body Skill Master; 0/1600
Divine Skills: None
[Luck Value: 4689]
He closed the system and paused the upgrades.
Primarily because his strength is already enough, further promotion seems wasteful. It would be better to wait for stronger and more suitable skills to use in the future.
On the other hand, his physical and mental state cant carry on.
Though further promotion wont cause a breakdown, theres no need to torture himself when he can improve gradually.
Also, if he doesnt start working, his family would have nothing to eat.
Light the spiritual wood!
Preheat the Pill Furnace!
Add the ingredients!
Xu Mu still produces the Fasting Pills.
Currently, he only possesses the ingredients for the Fasting Pills.
Same old steps!
Same old formula!
But now, Xu Mu is enjoying a sense of ease he has never felt before.
Through the Grandmaster-level Fire-controlling Skill, he could not only perfectly control the heat but also sense the changes in the pills nature in the furnace through the flames feedback.
The flames seem like his sense of sight, an extension of his touch.
It seems like I might have underestimated the Grandmaster-level Fire-controlling Skill!
Xu Mu exclaimed.
Due to perfect heat control, the pill production time is now reduced by approximately a quarter than before.
Upon opening the furnace, an aromatic smell fills the air!
Twelve round, golden pills fly out of the Pill Furnace and into Xu Mus palm.
Two of these pills, coated with a layer that exudes a faint glow, look like premium products.
High-quality Fasting Pill!
Xu Mu was overjoyed.
After numerous years of pill crafting, this was his first time producing a high-quality Fasting Pill.
He stored the pills and opened the system panel again.
Just as I expected!
Originally, Fasting Pill Proficiency; 241/400, now improved to; 261/400.
Just one alchemy session improved his proficiency by twenty points, more than what he used to get from twenty sessions.
This should be what they call a rising tide lifts all boats!
The transformation in the Fire-controlling Skill has propelled the Fasting Pills creation technique to progress significantly.
The subsequent two batches validated Xu Mus thoughts.
Every successful crafting session increase the proficiency by ten to twenty points.
At this rate, even without using Luck Value for promotion, he could quickly reach the perfection level.
If I had this improvement rate before, I wouldnt have gone through such hardships for so many years!
When thinking about his cultivation years, Xu Mus heart fills with tears.
In his past, he had neither resources nor talent, cultivating or creating pills felt like groping in the dark.
Every bit of learning came from struggling trials!
If he was lucky enough, there was a likelihood of producing a batch of failed pills.
With bad luck, he could even blow up the furnace, injuring himself severely.
Fortunately, the tough days have passed, and only good times await him!
Saying this, he cant help but take his daughter from his wifes arms, his face full of affection.
Without this little girl, he still wouldnt know when he could turn his life around.
Ying Er, eat this!
Xu Mu took out a Fasting Pill and gave it to Ye Yingying.
