Chapter Twenty-Seven: Master Alchemist

From the third day of the Lunar New Year, that is, on February 10, Ye Teng began an intense and fulfilling alchemy and cultivation career again. In this process, in addition to the day agreed with the Shilongzhai soldiers to transmit information, go out of the customs to inquire about the process of suppressing bandits, and go to the county government in time to receive the task of suppressing bandits, the rest of the time is to alchemy 4~5 furnaces a day, and practice exercises and martial arts for 3 to 4 hours a day.

Until April 12, a system prompt sounded:

"Congratulations, you have learned the master-level alchemy, since you are the first player in the world to cultivate the alchemy skill to the master level, you will be rewarded with 100 reputation and trait - skillful refining."

After refining the remaining three medicinal materials in his hand and counting them carefully, in the past two months, Ye Teng had refined a total of 2,028 low-grade Avatar Pills (most of which had been handed over to the commercial bank for sale one after another).

After carefully checking the characteristics, there is actually a hint that says: "Skillfully practice, increase the success rate of alchemy by 50%." Ye Teng couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, it was actually a characteristic, it was really rare. And it is indeed timely rain for Ye Teng. The reason why he was able to be promoted to a master-level alchemist so quickly in this life is mainly based on the alchemy experience, experience, and techniques of the previous life.

In alchemy, experience can only be gained if the refining is successful. So far, Ye Teng has almost always repeated the experience of his previous life, maintaining a high success rate of alchemy, so that he has today's cultivation speed. Despite this, it took nearly half a year to reach the level of master and retreat.

However, in his previous life, he only cultivated to the master level, so he rarely practiced alchemy. Because of the low success rate of the Intermediate Transformation Pill and the huge alchemy experience of upgrading from the master level to the Grandmaster level, Ye Teng felt desperate. Ye Teng once calculated, compared to the impact of the master-level alchemist, the experience required to impact the grandmaster level was 10 times that of the previous one, the success rate of refining the intermediate Transforming Pill was half that of refining the low-level Transformation Pill, and the time required for refining was extended by 1 hour, while the experience gained by an intermediate Transformation Pill was only 50, which was only 2.5 times that of the low-level Transformation Pill.

In other words, the 100,000 experience required for the advanced level to rush to the master level only needs to refine 5,000 primary metamorphosis pills, while the 1 million experience required for the master level to successfully refine 20,000 intermediate metamorphosis pills, if it took half a year to retreat and impact the master level before, then it will take about 5 years to impact the grandmaster level now. Because in his previous life, Ye Teng no longer planned to play a pure life profession after the Yellow Turban Uprising, so he didn't have any more experience in alchemy.

From now on, Ye Teng's alchemy pill has no previous life experience to learn from. However, Shangcang sent himself the characteristics of skillful refining, which not only brought a higher success rate and lower cost to obtain the elixir, but more importantly, rekindled the flame of hope for Ye Teng to attack the alchemy master.

With excitement, Ye Teng purchased 30 copies of the Intermediate Transforming Pill Medicinal Materials. A new round of retreat began, and 10 days later, looking at the 102 Intermediate Transformative Pills in the porcelain bottle in his hand, Ye Teng's previous excitement completely calmed down, with a little entanglement and a little luck: "The success rate is really low!" "It's good that it has characteristics!"

On this day, it is already April 23rd, and it has been almost a year since I entered the game in a blink of an eye. In the past two months, although Ye Teng has not gone out to suppress bandits, his subordinates' bandits have still brought him a lot of prestige, meritorious service, and experience gains. In addition, alchemy has obtained 2 intelligence attribute points for more than two consecutive months, and at this time, Ye Teng opened the attribute bar and found that he had made a lot of progress:

With the intermediate Avatar Pill he refined, Ye Teng rushed back to Ye Mansion as soon as possible, and promoted the first batch of 8 C-level girls such as Agarwood and Pei Lan who were bought back from Yaxing to serve as Yahuan to B-level qualifications. Although Ye Teng wanted to accumulate some B-level qualified soldiers to prepare for the special arms in the future, with Ye Teng's current financial resources, he could only afford to buy hundreds of medicinal materials for the intermediate Avatar Pill, which was a drop in the bucket in the world of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, so he could only accumulate money first, and then accumulate troops.

At this time, there was still 1 village building order left of the commercial bank. It seems that as those big guilds can overthrow the primary cottages, it has become more and more difficult to sell the profiteering of the village building order, but it doesn't matter, anyway, Ye Teng doesn't plan to use the village building order as the main business income, and basically plans to synthesize it for his own use.

However, the sales of Shen Fan Dan were as hot as ever, Ye Teng took 20,000 gold from the commercial bank, and the remaining more than 1,000 gold was left as working capital.

Next, Ye Teng was ready to go on the expedition again. At this stage, it is not too wise to keep the army out of one's field of view for too long.

He once again took over the task of suppressing bandits to be completed in the next stage, replenished a batch of military rations and pills, and prepared to join the troops in Shilongzhai to suppress bandits.

At this time, there were only about 20 B-level qualified soldiers who stayed in the military palace who did not reach the third order, and Ye Teng still asked Chen Ping to lead these twenty or so soldiers who had not yet reached the third order to stay in the city as the guards of the Ye Mansion and strengthen training.

On April 25, Ye Teng led all the troops directly under the strength of the third order or above to drive in the direction of Shilongzhai.

On the evening of the 26th, Ye Teng rushed to Shilongzhai, and after a simple wash, he immediately convened a meeting attended by all the generals. At the meeting, Cai Hui gave a brief introduction to the two newly joined intermediate generals and 29 junior generals, and reported on the situation of suppressing bandits in the past three months.

In the past three months, a total of 2 intermediate cottages and 9 primary cottages have been broken; There are 29 junior generals, 3 intermediate generals, and more than 10,000 soldiers in the 11 cottages.

In the process of suppressing bandits, a total of 22 junior generals, 3 intermediate generals, and more than 8,000 soldiers were recruited; paid 9 black iron village building orders and 2 bronze village building orders; 18 beginner exercises, 3 intermediate exercises; 23 beginner skills, 5 intermediate skills, 2 advanced skills; 36 war horses and more than 200 horses; A large amount of money, food, weapons and equipment, resources, etc.

In these three months, Cai Hui was promoted from a senior military general to a yellow-level military general; Xie Gengxin was promoted from an intermediate military general to a senior military general; Hu Feng and Zhou Qiang were promoted from junior generals to intermediate generals, and 8 third-order soldiers were promoted to junior generals.

Zhou Qiang, the junior peak military general of the original Shilongzhai, has S-level qualifications, a full beard, a bold and upright personality, a big voice, and good popularity.

At present, excluding Ye Teng and his direct troops, Shilong Cottage has a total of 1 yellow-level general, 1 senior general, 6 intermediate generals, 1 middle-level civil official, and 53 junior generals.

There are more than 14,000 soldiers, including 1,683 third-order soldiers; 2nd Order 3506; 5,861 first-class soldiers; Militia 3765 people.

In view of the fact that the number of troops has increased a lot, Ye Teng once again reorganized the troops.
