Chapter 808: Chapter 408: Refining Dragon Transformation Pills [Subscribe Request]_2 Chapter 808: Chapter 408: Refining Dragon Transformation Pills [Subscribe Request]_2 Luo Qingni looked at Zhou Chun with a calm expression, and her tone was very plain, not concealing the fact that she wasn’t entirely certain about the matter.

Zhou Chun heard her words and bowed his head in contemplation.

Although he had three Millennium Dragon Transformation Grasses in hand, naturally he wouldn’t be foolish enough to bring them all out.

Otherwise, even if he succeeded in the first alchemy attempt, the remaining Millennium Dragon Transformation Grasses he had might attract the covetousness of others, possibly leading to the same troubles that the Millennium Thunderlight Grass had caused before.

Therefore, even though he already decided to let Luo Qingni concoct the Dragon Transformation Pill, he couldn’t agree too quickly to avoid confirming her suspicions.

After a considerable amount of time had passed, and seeing that Zhou Chun was still indecisive, Luo Qingni couldn’t be bothered to wait any longer. She stood up and said, “If Taoist Friend Xu lacks confidence in me, then I shall not impose any longer. Perhaps you can seek out someone more capable!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly said, “Master Luo, wait! Xu will agree. Even if the concoction fails, Xu will accept the outcome!”

With these words, Luo Qingni sat down again.

Then she looked at Zhou Chun seriously and said, “Let’s get this straight: if the concoction of the ‘Dragon Transformation Pill’ fails, I will not charge any alchemy fee. However, if it succeeds, since I provided the alchemy recipe, Taoist Friend Xu must pay a reward equivalent to one-tenth the price of the pill itself in Spirit Coins, which would amount to about twenty-five thousand Spirit Coins!”

“Moreover, although we have the two main ingredients for the ‘Dragon Transformation Pill,’ other auxiliary materials will also need to be purchased. I will buy these additional materials, but you will fund them, Xu, approximately costing around five thousand Spirit Coins!”

These rules were nearly universal among alchemy masters in the Tianyuan Immortal City.

Zhou Chun was aware of this and did not haggle. He simply nodded lightly and said, “No problem, the material fee of five thousand Spirit Coins will be given to Master Luo when the alchemy begins!”

“Since Taoist Friend Xu has no objections, let’s settle on that. Two months from now, come find me at my cave dwelling,” Luo Qingni said, informing Zhou Chun of her dwelling’s location and setting the exact time. Then, she took her leave.

For an alchemy master like her, every two hours of free time could be used to earn Spirit Coins. Naturally, she didn’t have the luxury to indulge in tea and waste time here.

After she had left, Zhou Chun, looking at the untouched teapot on the table, couldn’t help but sigh, “With just one alchemy commission, one can earn twenty-five thousand Spirit Coins. The speed at which these alchemy masters make money is truly enviable!”

Although he also understood that lucrative opportunities like the “Dragon Transformation Pill” were rare for an alchemy master like Luo Qingni, something that only came by every few years, it did not stop him from envying such prospects.

After all, even for the entire Zhou Family, the amount of Spirit Coins they could save in a year after deducting all expenses was only about this much!

But as much as he envied them, Zhou Chun knew in his heart how difficult it was for a Loose Cultivator and alchemy master like Luo Qingni to reach her current status.

The difficulty was nearly as great as it was for a Loose Cultivator to reach Core Formation.

It might seem like the Tianyuan Immortal City was filled with many alchemy masters, but in reality, that’s because most of the Loose Cultivator alchemy masters from the Great Zhou Kingdom and surrounding nations had settled here.

After his reflections, Zhou Chun did not let the Spiritual Tea on the table go to waste. He leisurely finished the pot by himself and then left the “Mingxian Pavilion” at a relaxed pace to return to his cave dwelling.

Two months quickly flashed by.

This day, Zhou Chun, after carefully grooming himself, followed the address given by Luo Qingni to arrive at the entrance of a certain cave dwelling within the Tianyuan Immortal City.

As a well-off alchemy master, Luo Qingni’s cave dwelling was much better than Zhou Chun’s and was comparable to the one Lin Hongyu used for her Core Formation retreat at the Xiandu Marketplace.

The cave dwelling was located inside a mountain, with two stone doors sealing the entrance; the words “Qingni Residence” were carved above them.

It seemed she had been living in this cave dwelling for many years. While Zhou Chun was waiting after sending a voice-transmitting talisman, he saw a Medicine Garden outside her dwelling with many Spiritual Medicines planted, some of which were several hundred years old.

“Taoist Friend Xu, please come in.”

About two hours later, the doors of Luo Qingni’s cave dwelling burst open, and her voice carried out from inside.

Zhou Chun’s Divine Sense also detected a fluctuation from a Forbidden Technique, indicating that Luo Qingni had temporarily deactivated the Array.

Previously, while the exterior of Zhou Chun’s cave dwelling appeared normal, in reality, it concealed a formidable array. Anyone who coveted the Spiritual Medicines or wished to enter the cave dwelling without permission would surely fall into the array and struggle to extricate themselves.

According to the rules of Tianyuan Immortal City, if someone trespassed into a rented cave dwelling, being killed by the inhabitant would not count as a violation of the Immortal City regulations.

Because of this, high-ranking locations like Qingni Residence were off-limits to unrelated low-level cultivators, to prevent the greedy from courting death.

After entering the cave dwelling, Zhou Chun was first led by Luo Qingni to the living room, and the two signed a Spirit Pact for alchemy commission, in duplicate.

The contract spelled out all the relevant rules and both of them had to leave their Mana Imprint on the two copies of the Spirit Pact to validate the agreement.

This way, it prevented the occurrence of any dispute for compensation in case of alchemy failure.

It must be said that Tianyuan Immortal City’s regulations in this regard were quite well-developed, virtually ensuring that no issues would arise within the city.

After signing the Spirit Pact, Luo Qingni led Zhou Chun into her own Alchemy Room.

The Alchemy Room was quite spacious, containing not only a purple-green Alchemy Furnace but also many cabinets storing Spiritual Medicines.

“Taoist Friend Xu can watch my alchemy process from over there, but please refrain from making loud noises or touching the Array Protective Shield during the alchemy,” Luo Qingni instructed Zhou Chun, pointing to a corner with a table and chairs, after they entered the Alchemy Room.

“According to the rules, I can use the Shadow Recording Artifact to record the process, right?” Zhou Chun’s gaze quickly swept over the corner before returning to inquire softly about the recording with Luo Qingni.

“Yes, you are free to record anything. I have also set up a Shadow Recording Array in here!” Luo Qingni nodded, confirming the matter.

Then she raised her hand and said, “Now, hand over the Millennium Dragon Transformation Grass and the Flood Dragon Essence Blood to me, as well as the five thousand Spirit Coins for buying auxiliary materials.”

“Everything is in Master Luo’s capable hands!” Zhou Chun said as he handed over the materials and Spirit Coins he had prepared in advance to Luo Qingni.

“I can only promise to do my best.” Luo Qingni replied solemnly and proceeded toward the Alchemy Furnace with the materials, slowly sitting down in front of it.

Then, she formed a spell with her hands, and a transparent white Protective Barrier appeared inside the Alchemy Room, enveloping both her and the Alchemy Furnace.

This was to prevent distractions during the alchemy and also to protect her from sneak attacks while she was focused on the alchemy.

With the strength of the Protective Barrier’s defense, unless a Golden Core Stage Cultivator exerted their full power, it would be difficult to break in a single strike.

After these alchemy preparations were made, Luo Qingni opened her mouth and exhaled a clump of blue True Fire beneath the Alchemy Furnace, officially beginning the alchemy process.

Meanwhile, in the corner, Zhou Chun sat in the chair quietly watching her while using a prepared Shadow Recording Bead Artifact to record the entire alchemy process.

Each Alchemy Master possesses their unique alchemy skills, such as purifying, transforming, combining, nurturing, and harvesting the Elixir, along with the corresponding spells. Without detailed inheritance, simply watching their alchemy process is not enough to learn these skills.

This is the reason why alchemists like Luo Qingni dare to let their clients observe their alchemy process.

Zhou Chun was recording purely for safety reasons, to avoid the possibility of an alchemist successfully creating an Elixir but then refusing to hand it over.

In the future, with the Shadow Recording Bead and the previously signed Spirit Pact in hand, whether Zhou Chun decided to take matters into his own hands or lodge a complaint with the officials of Tianyuan Immortal City, he would have a justifiable reason.
