Chapter 27

How could one refine pill after pill without even taking a breath?

After finishing another batch of pills, Gu Ming saw Chu Ning take a pill and then close her eyes as she had done before.

She then proceeded to put the processed medicinal materials back into the pill furnace.

Gu Ming couldn’t hold back anymore and tugged on Qin Zheng’s sleeve.

“Zheng Ge, can the pill your wife is taking restore spiritual power?” Gu Ming felt it was unlikely, but what he was seeing seemed to be just that.

Qin Zheng looked at Chu Ning with a gentle expression, then turned to Gu Ming.

“That pill is called the Spiritual Recovery Pill.”

“After taking it, it can quickly restore physical strength and spiritual power. Although it’s only a Grade 2 pill, it’s effective for A-grade females and Beastmen.”

“A few days ago, I went to the Patent Office with my wife, and I estimate the results will come out in the next few days.”

Gu Ming’s eyes widened.

“Can I have two of those Spiritual Recovery Pills?” he immediately asked.

A pill that can help restore physical and spiritual power, effective for females and Beastmen, and with such a short recovery time, it’s too amazing!

Well, after the Demonic Suppressing Pill, Demon-Expelling Pill, Detoxification Pill, and Marrow-Cleansing Pill, accepting a Spiritual Recovery Pill seems not too difficult.

When asking this, Gu Ming didn’t expect Qin Zheng to agree, or to agree so readily, but Qin Zheng did.

He took out a bottle of Spiritual Recovery Pills and directly tossed it to Gu Ming.

“Take it.”

Gu Ming caught the bottle, his eyes shining.

He only needed two pills, but Zheng Ge gave him a whole bottle, which was too much.

But his expression soon fell again.

“Is this pill difficult to refine?” he asked Qin Zheng after putting away the pills.

How could such a good pill be easy to refine?

Zheng Ge being able to give him a bottle of Spiritual Recovery Pills meant he must have a lot of them.

His wife is really good to Zheng Ge…

Qin Zheng couldn’t help but look at Chu Ning again.

“I heard… it’s quite difficult. Although it’s a Grade 2 pill, the refining difficulty is not inferior to Grade 3, and may even be more difficult than some Grade 3 pills.”

“You’ve seen the wife refine these Grade 2 pills, right? Although she can refine twenty-four high-quality pills in one go, when she first started refining the Spiritual Recovery Pill, she could only produce a dozen or so at the beginning.”

“I accompanied the wife in refining the Spiritual Recovery Pill continuously for three days before she fully grasped the pill formula.”

Gu Ming followed Chu Ning’s gaze, a sense of admiration rising within him.

Mastering the formula of ordinary Grade 2 pills in one go, and mastering the Spiritual Recovery Pill formula in three days.

His wife’s talent was truly remarkable…

Just then, Chu Ning’s spiritual computer suddenly received a call request.

Chu Ning glanced at the spiritual computer and accelerated the refining of the pills in the furnace.

Then she accepted the call and put it on speaker.

The voice was from an employee of the Patent Office.

“Hello, Miss Chu Ning! This is Tao Qi from the Patent Office.”

“Hello, I’m Chu Ning. Have the test results for the Spiritual Recovery Pill come out?” Chu Ning asked, her emotions slightly excited.

The business on her online store was getting better and better every day, but the speed of earning money was still a bit slow.

In less than a month, the school would be opening again.

While the Orchid Academy is the most expensive private academy in the Imperial Capital, the tuition fees are tens of millions of Star Coins, and the cost of learning alchemy, including medicinal materials and equipment, needs to be self-funded.

Although she is currently refining pills, she earns almost a furnace’s worth per furnace.

But that’s because the current grade of the pills she’s refining is not high enough. When she starts refining Grade 3 or higher pills, she will likely end up losing money.

The higher the grade of the pill, the more expensive the medicinal materials, and for alchemists to progress, they not only need talent but also abundant resources.

This is also why many alchemists are willing to sign contracts like indentured servitude with major organizations.

“Not yet. I called to notify you that an additional 400,000 Star Coins in fees are required to complete the full calculation data of the pill.”

Chu Ning’s expression stiffened.

The voice on the other end had a tinge of apology.

“Miss Chu Ning, we are very sorry, but according to your pill formula, the Spiritual Recovery Pill is a Grade 2 pill, and the testing fee is 100,000 Star Coins, which is correct. However, our testing staff found that although the Spiritual Recovery Pill is Grade 2, its refining difficulty exceeds that of most Grade 3 pills. Given this situation, the Bureau has decided to have you pay an additional 400,000 Star Coins in testing fees.”

“If you agree on your end, you can come to pay the fees as soon as possible to avoid delaying the subsequent testing of the pill.”

Chu Ning furrowed her brow.
