"Sigh."

She let out a long sigh.

Fireball Technique (Beginner: 82/100)

She flipped through Alchemy insights, read the Fire Control Skills on them, and with seven days of intensive training, the Fireball Technique had improved by 1 point.

Without Alchemy, an improvement of 1 point in seven days would have been enough to make her ecstatic.

This feeling of seeing one's progress directly is so wonderful.

Unfortunately, what she cares about now is Alchemy.

A moment later.

"Forget it!"

She confirmed that the cave's formation was activated, ensuring no one would come uninvited. She lay back down on the bed and took out the Imaging Stone.

Li Changzhou: [...]

He didn't really oppose venting; the key was not to use him as the material for casting spells, and even if used, he should not be aware of it.

He hoped Xian'er could hold on.

He glanced at the Immortal lying on the bed reading a novel, and, coupled with Xu Ni, who had a way of "instigating," it seemed unlikely.

Another five days passed, only one day away from the agreed fishing day, and Jiang Xiaoyue finally entered the beginner phase.

She refined her first batch of Elixir Pills.

They weren't even Low Grade; consuming them brought more harm than benefit, a complete waste pill.

Nonetheless, she had finally entered the beginner phase.

She looked at the gray Qi Gathering Pill in her hand, utterly thrilled, and she had only used twelve days to enter the beginner phase!

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoyue is talented!"

Jiang Xiaoyue used up half a bottle of Spirit Revitalizing Pills, carefully placed this pill into the Jade Bottle.

She called out the data panel, taking a deep breath.

"God Senior, I want to add points!"

As the points disappeared, the experience of Qi Gathering Pill (Beginner: 1/100) rapidly increased, and her mind suddenly jolted.

She had entered the beginner phase of Alchemy and relied on the harvested Spirit Stones from fishing to continue purchasing insights and materials for refining Qi Gathering Pills.

Three years later, she finally could ensure successful Alchemy each time.

She refined Qi Gathering Pills for another five years, ensuring every batch contained one Middle Grade pill.

At this point, she finally turned a loss into profit, starting to earn money for the market.

Ten more years passed, she damaged three pill furnaces, and finally ensured every batch contained one Top Grade pill.

Jiang Xiaoyue opened her eyes, exhaling a breath of stale air; on the data panel, the Qi Gathering Pill had become (Small Success: 1/100).

She looked at the pill furnace, instantly judging that this pill furnace could probably be used for another two years.

Meanwhile, various skills surged in her mind.

She took out a set of materials, pinched a spell in her hand, a spark flashed under the pill furnace, slowly heating it up.

"Rose Violet, Thousand Petal Chrysanthemum, Spirit Gathering Grass..."

Materials were deftly processed by her and thrown into the pill furnace.

Soon, a medicinal fragrance permeated the air.

She pinched the spell, extinguished the fire and opened the furnace; within the pill furnace lay seven tiny fingernail-sized pills, five of which were jade-like, one emerald-like.

Like jade and emerald beads.

Five Middle Grade, one Top Grade.

Without points, achieving such a standard would have required a solid eighteen years, eighteen years of single-mindedly refining Qi Gathering Pills.

In the realm of Alchemists, this would be average level—attempting to become an Alchemist, yet not becoming one in the end doesn't count.

After eighteen years, she would rely on these stable Qi Gathering Pills to purchase cultivation resources, grasping the chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage within her lifetime, achieving a leap in class.

Yet those eighteen years of investment, even if her parents were still alive, could not support.

Only a Foundation Establishment Stage family has the resources to train Alchemists; a Loose Cultivator simply cannot, unless having special fortunes.

And she, only spent one point, only took a blink of time.

The only drawback of points is the lack of transferable comprehension.

She should have, after eighteen years of Alchemy, had an understanding of various elixirs, mastering more refined Fire Control Skills, yet did not.

Just like a tree bearing fruit, it cannot directly bear fruit, must go through sprouting, leafing, blooming, and then fruition.

But points directly handed her the fruit.

She only knew how to control fire for Qi Gathering Pills and how to refine them.

Yet given time, she could comprehend by analogy, using the refined Fire Control Skills of the Qi Gathering Pill to nourish the Fireball Technique, preparing for fire control for other elixirs.

"Points... Points..."

Jiang Xiaoyue took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement within.

Upon selling the seven pills in her hand, she could complete [Task Four: Establish a New Profit Channel], and gain another point.

She could refine Qi Nourishing Pills, Spirit Revitalizing Pills, etc., or elevate the Qi Gathering Pill to Great Success.

Jiang Xiaoyue consumed a Spirit Revitalizing Pill, restoring spiritual power, then seized the time to refine the remaining two sets of materials into elixirs.

Very stable.

Two furnaces yielded a total of ten Middle Grade pills, two Top Grade.

She had fifteen Middle Grade pills, three Top Grade pills in hand.

In the market, a bottle of Middle Grade Qi Gathering Pill, 10 Spirit Stones per bottle, with ten pills per bottle.

While a single Top Grade Qi Gathering Pill was worth 10 Spirit Stones!

Top Grade pills have no pill toxins, saving the time needed for detoxification, greatly conserving energy, ensuring cultivation in the morning, afternoon, and evening while consuming pills.

In Foundation Establishment Stage families, only core disciples can consume.

In the Seven Great Sects, only Inner Sect Disciples receive monthly allocations.

Loose Cultivators dare not even imagine.

After sleeping, the day had arrived to go fishing and visit the market again, she separately packed the pills in Jade Bottles.

Middle Grade ten pills a bottle, Top Grade one pill a bottle, the previously purchased Spirit Revitalizing Pills, Qi Nourishing Pills bottles, now used again.

She did a mental calculation.

The materials for one Qi Gathering Pill require one Spirit Stone, if buying ten sets, the cost is nine; she can refine from one set of materials five Middle Grade pills, one Top Grade pill.

Calculating with two sets of materials, she spends 18 Spirit Stones, earns 30 Spirit Stones, a net gain of 12.

These 12 also are submitted to the market, she probably receives only 2, such days would last fifty years.

"Sigh." She sighed exiting Xiaoyue Cave.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ni and the Immortal were already waiting outside.

Xu Ni asked: "I've told you the method to become Immortal; haven't refined it yet?"

"Become Immortal?" The Immortal was curious.

"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Xiaoyue tossed Xu Ni five Jade Bottles, "One bottle ten Middle Grade, one bottle five Middle Grade, the remaining three bottles, each one Top Grade."

"Xiaoyue, you've become a Pill Master! Congratulations!" The Immortal said happily.

Jiang Xiaoyue also smiled.

"My Great Method for Becoming Immortal truly worked!" Xu Ni claimed credit.

Jiang Xiaoyue's smile disappeared.

Xu Ni ignored her expression, counted: "Rather than selling to a shop, selling them by yourself could yield around 43 Spirit Stones (five Middle Grades can only sell for three or four); a bit scant—"

She paused, then smiled and continued: "—but this is the first time, it will increase over time, Xiaoyue, your parents would be so proud, you've truly become an Alchemist!"
