An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 589 Qi-Replenishing Pill

If Xu Fu hadn't known Li Wuji's background, he would have definitely assumed that Li Wuji was an experienced alchemist.

In fact, this woman was probably practicing alchemy for the first time in her life.

It's undeniable that the alchemy furnace does have some enhancements, but no matter how much enhancements it has, a novice can't possibly succeed in refining a "Qi-replenishing pill" in just two attempts!

This is absolutely amazing!

Can you tell?

"What did you see?"

Xu Fu was still in shock when he suddenly heard Li Wuji ask him a question, and for a moment he was a little confused.

"Take a look and see how this differs from the Qi-replenishing pills you usually refine!" Li Wuji reminded him helplessly.

"different?"

Xu Fu was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked somewhat haltingly, "You...you've already...joined?"

Seeing Li Wuji nod, Xu Fu swallowed hard.

Xu Fu knew that Li Wuji had deliberately bought several extra ingredients based on the properties of the Qi-tonifying pill.

Even if he had a ninth-grade cultivation level, let alone now that his spiritual power is sealed, he wouldn't know how to add those ingredients.

His master had never taught him, and he had never read about it in any books, yet this "newbie" in alchemy accomplished it without any obstacles.

"What...did you add?"

Xu Fu examined it carefully. He didn't think Li Wuji was lying to him, but in terms of color and aroma, the Qi-replenishing pill in his hand was exactly the same as the one he had refined before.

"Give it a try."

Li Wuji smiled slyly, picked up a pill, and stuffed it into Xu Fu's mouth.

Xu Fu did not refuse. The pill would definitely need to be tested once it was refined. There were only the two of them now, and they couldn't very well let Li Wuji try it.

After taking the Qi-replenishing pill, Xu Fu did not sense any change in the spiritual energy within his body; it remained stagnant, just like before.

While tidying up the alchemy furnace, Xu Fu suddenly felt a throbbing in his stomach, followed by an indescribable urge to defecate.

"It's croton oil!"

Xu Fu blurted out, not bothering to say anything to Li Wuji, and quickly rushed into a thicket of bushes.

A series of piercing thuds immediately echoed from the bushes.

After a long while, Xu Fu returned, his face flushed.

Li Wuji suppressed a laugh. While Xu Fu was "doing his business" in the bushes, she refined two more batches of pills.

"The effect is good, isn't it?" Li Wuji asked "seriously".

"Uh-huh?"

Xu Fugang nodded, then suddenly his expression changed, and he rushed back into the bushes he had just been in.

After four rounds of this ordeal, Xu Fu's legs were numb and weak, making it difficult for him to walk. He felt that he had never had such a clean intestine since birth.

However, just as Xu Fu was emptying his stomach and feeling weak all over, he suddenly realized that the spiritual energy in his body, which had been like a stagnant pool, seemed to have been stirred by a stone thrown into it.

This feeling was something I had never experienced before.

However, when Xu Fu tried to mobilize his spiritual power, there was still no response.

After fully realizing the "powerful" nature of this elixir, Li Wuji began to refine it with all his might. He worked on it for most of the night and finally used up all the medicinal materials they had bought by dawn.

Xu Fu wasn't idle either. As soon as Li Wuji finished refining a batch of pills, he would take the pills and clean up. While Li Wuji was refining the next batch, he would pack the "Qi-replenishing pills" into small porcelain bottles and small bags.

In the end, we harvested more than two thousand Qi-replenishing pills, a very gratifying result!

To reward the two, Xu Fu roasted the last piece of sea dragon meat, and the two had a hearty meal.

Li Wuji worked all night, but his face showed no signs of fatigue; in fact, he looked much more energetic than Xu Fu.

Xu Fu, on the other hand, never recovered from the emptiness of his empty stomach until he ate the sea dragon meat, at which point he returned to normal.

The two looked at the pile of Qi-replenishing pills that resembled a small mountain, smiled at each other, and then looked towards Donghai City, a hundred miles away.

That afternoon, the market outside Donghai City was even more bustling than the previous two days.

Everyone was desperately crowding into one stall, to the point that it was impossible to do business within a ten-foot radius.

Even so, people continued to pour into the city.

Such news often spreads extremely quickly. Upon hearing that someone outside the city was selling Qi-boosting pills, the previously somewhat apprehensive crowd suddenly became excited.

With a great battle approaching, Qi-replenishing pills are one of the most important supplies for cultivators; in critical moments, they can truly save lives!

In Donghai City, both Yi Bao Xing and Dan Meng's branches sold out of Qi-replenishing pills long ago. It's unclear who got advance notice, but they managed to buy up all the Qi-replenishing pills on the market.

The medicinal herbs that Xu Fu and Li Wuji bought to refine Qi-replenishing pills had just been transported from other places. Unfortunately, they arrived too late, and it was too late to refine Qi-replenishing pills in large quantities. The amount they refined was not even enough for their internal use, so they could not sell it.

Looking at the surging crowd, Xu Fu, disguised, fully revealed the true colors of a cunning merchant, raising the price of the Qi-replenishing pills to ten times the usual price, and limiting each person to one pill.

"So it was all in his hands!"

Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do. Buying and selling is a matter of mutual consent; if they thought it was too expensive, they didn't have to buy it.

Some of the people who had come to watch the spectacle also pulled out their wallets when they heard that each person could only buy one.

Everyone knows that any "limited edition" good stuff can make a lot of money by reselling it once, so such an opportunity is naturally not to be missed.

As a result, despite Xu Fu's high price, the limited quantity and the urgent need of the people quickly led to a "scramble".

More than two thousand Qi-boosting pills were sold out in less than two hours.

Such a precious elixir was naturally something no one would dare to taste. As for whether anyone with a keen eye would notice something wrong with the Qi-replenishing pill, Xu Fu was also quite worried.

However, until he sold them all, no one noticed that "ingredients" had been added to these elixirs, which made Xu Fu admire Li Wuji even more.

"We have an even better chance of winning tomorrow's battle!"

One person carefully put away the expensive Qi-boosting pills, looking confident of victory.

"tomorrow?"

Xu Fu was still immersed in the joy of "sudden wealth" when he heard this, and his expression changed drastically.

"Fortunately!"

Xu Fu was surprised, but secretly relieved that he hadn't missed anything and had "distributed" the Qi-replenishing pills ahead of time.

However, Xu Fu also knew that he could not place all his hopes on these two thousand Qi-replenishing pills.

But with time running out, what else can he do?

Xu Fu suddenly remembered the ripple within his body.

What exactly triggered the Yin-Yang Demon Subduing Formation?

As he was pondering this, he arrived at the teahouse where he had arranged to meet Li Wuji yesterday, where Li Wuji was already waiting.

When Xu Fu had sold half of the elixir, he gave all the money and the Qiankun bag to Li Wuji.

Li Wuji went into the city first to purchase medicinal materials for refining Qi-replenishing pills.

Seeing Li Wuji's smiling face, Xu Fu knew that he must have had a very fruitful harvest.

Now that everything was ready, Xu Fu felt he should give it a try!
