In the next few days, Zeng Defang guided Chen Fei on his pill refining technique. After Chen Fei hid his skills for a few days, he revealed his proficiency in the Vitality Pill technique.

Zeng Defang laughed out loud and felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He even patted Chen Fei’s shoulder a few times.

“At this stage, I have nothing more to teach you regarding medicinal pills like the Vitality Pill. Next, it will depend on your comprehension during the usual refining process.”

Zeng Defang’s skills in refining Vitality Pills were naturally not only at the Master Level. However, after reaching the Master level, one basically had no problems with the refining technique. The only thing one had to take note of was some minor adjustments in the fire.

This kind of adjustment was difficult to express in words. It required the alchemist to comprehend innately and put it into practice. Moreover, the Master Level Vitality Pills could already be sold on the shelves normally. In other words, Chen Fei could start earning money.

According to the agreement with Qingzheng Medical Hall, Chen Fei could take 30% of the remaining profits after deducting the cost of the medicinal herbs required to make the Vitality Pills that Chen Fei refined every month.

Was it too little?

There would definitely be a lot. Chen Fei was quite satisfied with this result. After all, Chen Fei only needed to refine pills. The other things like herbs, shops, pill furnaces, and selling them had nothing to do with Chen Fei.

With Qingzheng Medical Hall backing him, Chen Fei only needed to refine pills seriously.

It was probably also the case where Zeng Defang must have played a big role in securing Chen Fei this ratio. It was the only reason why Qingzheng Medical Hall could give such treatment.

Of course, the other alchemists’ share was not much different. After all, alchemists are precious. If you don’t treat them well, they will run away.

Alchemists were different from a guard. Although it was not easy to recruit a guard, the sheer number of martial artists was there. One could always hire one with money. However, even if the number of alchemists was also there, it was really not easy to get one.

Zeng Defang did not continue to shadow Chen Fei. Chen Fei took the time to go out a few times and raised the proficiency of the Vitality Pill to the Perfection Level.

Chen Fei was not in a hurry to refine the Vitality Pill to the level of perfection because the perfected Vitality Pill technique was already completely sufficient for Chen Fei’s current refining requirements.

Not only were the pills round and full, but the number of pills formed in each refinement was also substantial. It could be said that the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs were all infused into the pills without any waste.

As for the perfected Vitality Pills, it would probably bring out new things and make the effects of the Vitality Pills even better.

This was naturally good, but it was not easy to complete the 10,000 proficiency requirement in a short period of time. Thus, Chen Fei was not in a hurry and took it slowly.

There was no one else in the pill refining room. Chen Fei went all out in refining each batch of Vitality Pills. The only difference between a Perfect and a Master Level Vitality Pill was the number of pills formed. Other than that, there was not much difference.

To outsiders, Chen Fei naturally would not display such a high level of alchemy. Thus, he would directly eat the extra medicinal pills.

The Vitality Pill was indeed a medicinal pill for ordinary martial artists. One Vitality Pill could increase Chen Fei’s cultivation by 1 point, and he could take five Vitality Pills a day. Adding the cultivation that he had increased with his own cultivation technique, he could increase his cultivation by 6 points a day.

“Even if the Suspended Wind Breathing Technique isn’t simplified, I’ll only need less than five months to break through to the Body Tempering Realm,” Chen Fei muttered to himself. This was the first time he felt the power of pills, or rather, the power of money.

One tael of silver could be used to buy five Vitality Pills. A month’s salary for a normal guard could only buy 25 Vitality Pills. As a result, the guards rarely bought Vitality Pills to cultivate because it was too expensive.

Only those with martial arts potential would be willing to invest so much. Moreover, one had to continue investing for a few years before the results could be seen.

In Pingyin County, only the disciples of the aristocratic families or the direct disciples of the Extreme Mountain Fist Hall could be like Chen Fei, taking the maximum amount of Vitality Pills every day to catch up with their cultivation as soon as possible.

“A powerful alchemist really does earn a lot of money, and this is just a Vitality Pill.”

Chen Fei shook his head slightly and threw a Vitality Pill into his mouth to refine. He could not help but reveal a smile.

Chen Fei planned to withdraw some silver from the medical hall in a few days so that he could simplify the two merged cultivation techniques.

Although Chen Fei’s cultivation progress was not bad with the help of the Vitality Pills, how could Chen Fei refuse anything that could make him stronger faster?

Moreover, Chen Fei was always filled with uncertainty and unease in this world. After all, his previous life was in a peaceful and prosperous world. Now that it was a world full of evilness and man-made disasters, it was difficult for people to really feel at ease.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Other than concentrating on refining Vitality Pills and cultivating, Chen Fei would take the time to go out and refine the progress of his stir-fried pork liver.

Chen Fei realized that he was being followed while he was stir-frying pork liver in the dilapidated courtyard, but it didn’t really bother him since he was the most popular person in Qingzheng Medical Hall.

Everyone in the medical hall could see Zeng Defang’s fondness for Chen Fei. He was just short of announcing that Chen Fei was his last disciple. Under such circumstances, many people were naturally curious about how Chen Fei did it.

Perhaps there was a special way?

However, when those people saw him stir-frying pork liver in the courtyard, he wondered what kind of expression they would have.

Stir-frying pork liver had nothing to do with refining pills. Otherwise, those chefs in the restaurant would probably become alchemy masters.

These people could only attribute Chen Fei’s stir-fried pork liver to Chen Fei’s personal special hobby. Because other than this, they really couldn’t think of any other reason.

Some people were unwilling to give up. They followed Chen Fei for a few days, and they would see Chen Fei stir-fry a thumb-sized amount of pork liver every time, and it was mind-numbing to them.

What kind of weird hobby was this?

“Logically speaking, it’s not good to withdraw the silver in advance, but I also know your situation, so after asking Steward Cui, Steward Cui has agreed. This is thirty taels of silver. Keep it well.”

The accountant handed the money to Chen Fei. Chen Fei took a look, and a smile appeared on his face.

According to the number of pills that Chen Fei had specifically produced, Chen Fei’s monthly income was about fifty taels, which was ten times that of an ordinary guard. How could this not be envied by others?

Now that the medical hall had agreed to allow Chen Fei to withdraw thirty taels of silver in advance, it was obvious that they saw his potential and understood that Chen Fei had the ability to repay it. That was why they were so ready to approve it.

Returning to his room, Chen Fei was slightly excited.

“Stats Interface, simplify cultivation technique, Wind Suspending Breathing Technique!”

“Wind Suspending Breathing Technique is being simplified. The simplified version was successful. Wind Suspending Breathing Technique: Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique!”

“Hmm?”

Seeing the information displayed on the interface, Chen Fei was stunned. Why was it simplified to the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique from back then?

Then, Chen Fei thought of something and tried to circulate the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique that he had perfected back then. Then, he saw that the Wind Suspending Breathing Technique’s experience value plus 1 on the interface.

Holy shit!

Chen Fei’s eyes widened. This panel really exceeded Chen Fei’s expectations time and time again. It was really a Matryoshka!
