Chapter 641: Grandmaster
Chapter 641: Grandmaster
Seeing that Li Wenjun was not very interested in him, the owner of Jinghu City did not continue this topic that made Li Wenjun embarrassed, and frankly speaking, he did not have to win over Li Wenjun.
If it is a wheel of combat power, Li Wenjun is more powerful than an immortal cultivator of the same level, but the force he represents has no shortage of people who can fight, not to mention those hidden masters in the force, even if he is able to kill Li Wenjun like pinching an ant. Therefore, when the city lord of Jinghu recruited Li Wenjun, what he valued was not whether Li Wenjun could fight, but Li Wenjun's attainments in the Rune Pill.
But if you really want to talk about it, Li Wenjun is just a rune pill master, among the dozens of rune pill masters sent by the Medicine King Palace this time, Li Wenjun is still not the number one master, Li Wenjun doesn't care about his wooing, there are so many rune pill masters to try, there will always be rune pill masters who are tempted by his conditions, so there is no need for him to force Li Wenjun to make a statement, if Li Wenjun does not agree, he has to kill Li Wenjun.
Anyway, there is still a behemoth of the Medicine King Hall standing behind Li Wenjun, if it is really tough, the forces he represents may not be able to kill the Medicine King Palace.
The Mirror Lake City Lord avoided talking about it, which made Li Wenjun secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he still had to stay in Mirror Lake City for a long time, if he couldn't have a good relationship with the Mirror Lake City Lord, the trouble in the future would definitely not be broken.
Li Wenjun took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, put on a respectful look, and toasted the city lord of Jinghu with a glass of wine. The city lord of Jinghu gave Li Wenjun a lot of face and drank this glass of wine. Li Wenjun was even more relieved.
However, the city lord of Jinghu did not completely let Li Wenjun go, he couldn't let Li Wenjun serve the forces he represented, but at least let Li Wenjun do something for him. So, the city lord of Jinghu proposed to ask Li Wenjun to help him refine a batch of pills, and he came to refine the raw materials of the rune pill, but Li Wenjun had to refine all the pills in quality and quantity within the agreed time, and if he failed to complete this task, the city lord of Jinghu would deduct Li Wenjun's military exploits. And also. The Mirror Lake City Lord emphasized another point. This time it was his personal commission, and the rune pill refined by Li Wenjun had nothing to do with the part of the rune pill that Li Wenjun had to refine according to the quota required by the front-line command.
To put it more bluntly. Li Wenjun needs to squeeze out his personal time. Help the city lord of Mirror Lake do private work. And it doesn't do much good to do these private jobs and do them well. But if you do it badly, there are a lot of disadvantages.
After the Mirror Lake City Lord finished saying his request, he looked at Li Wenjun with a smile.
Li Wenjun felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and he knew that it was impossible for the Mirror Lake City Lord to let him go so easily. Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wenjun agreed to the request of the Mirror Lake City Lord, but he also made two requests to the Mirror Lake City Lord, the first is what the Mirror Lake City Lord said just now, the materials required for alchemy, the Mirror Lake City Lord will provide them in full, and the second one, he can't work in vain, the Mirror Lake City Lord will give him some remuneration appropriately, and he is willing to refine this batch of rune pills for the Mirror Lake City Lord at half price.
The Mirror Lake City Lord is not an excellent rune master, and his attainments in the rune master are limited, but the forces behind him also have their own rune masters, and they know what the best rune master should look like when they are at Li Wenjun's level. He had the bottom in his heart, so he didn't care about the two conditions put forward by Li Wenjun, and he agreed to them all. In his opinion, Li Wenjun made half of the price, and his side also took a big advantage.
Coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Wenjun glanced back at the plaque hanging on the lintel of the City Lord's Mansion, and sneered in his heart, Secretly Dao people respect me by a foot, I respect people by a foot, Jinghu City Lord, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp, I will consume more fuel than you.
Back in his cave mansion, Li Wenjun asked Marshal Kang to hang a sign that the hall was closed, suspended the reception of any immortal cultivators seeking medical treatment and pills, and began to wholeheartedly complete the personal tasks assigned to him by the city lord of Jinghu.
The reason why Li Wenjun agreed to Jinghu City's request was not only the helplessness of having to bow his head under the eaves, but also because Li Wenjun had confidence in himself, and he could refine the pill required by the Jinghu City Lord with Cheng Dรน that the Jinghu City Lord could not imagine, with a very low cost.
From the perspective of conventional pills, Li Wenjun can only refine twenty-level pills, not twenty-level pills, but if he adopts the method of rune pills, Li Wenjun can not only refine twenty-level pills, but even twenty-first and twenty-second level pills, that is to say, from the perspective of rune pills, Li Wenjun's level should not be a rune pill master, but a rune pill grandmaster.
When a high-level rune pill master goes to refine a low-level pill, the probability of becoming a pill is higher, the quality of the Cheng Dan is higher, and the degree of alchemy will be faster. What's more, even if Li Wenjun is refining a conventional elixir, his achievements in these three aspects are all better than those of alchemists of the same level, he doesn't dare to say that he is refining a level 20 rune pill now, and the success rate can reach 100 percent, but it is more than ninety percent, and there is still no problem.
This success rate is quite amazing, you must know that the vast majority of alchemists, including rune pill masters, can achieve a success rate of fifty percent, which is a very ungodly thing. If it can reach seven or eight percent, it is the so-called top level, and few people can improve the success rate to more than eighty percent, let alone more than ninety percent.
The success rate is high, which means that in the same period of time, under the same supply of raw materials, Li Wenjun can refine more pills, in addition to the pills that must be given to the city lord of Jinghu, Li Wenjun can also privately deduct a lot of raw materials and finished pills, and the proportion of deductions is not a small number, it will be considerable. If you add the fees that the city lord of Jinghu promised to give, it will be difficult for Li Wenjun to make a lot of money.
In addition, Li Wenjun also has two hole cards, if he uses these two hole cards, he will make more money this time.
The first hole card is that Li Wenjun has a lot of beast slaves to use. When refining pills, these beast slaves can be his helpers, and invisibly, they can also improve the efficiency of his alchemy. If he didn't take into account the demonic qi that the beast slaves might integrate into the rune pill when they were refining the pill, Li Wenjun could even completely leave these trivial matters to his beast slaves to do. Thus liberating himself completely and doing what he likes to do.
The second hole card is that Li Wenjun once obtained a piece of jade pupil in the treasure vault of the Seven Star City Branch Hall of the Medicine King Palace, which recorded the conventional alchemy technique that Li Wenjun had longed for for a long time. He had taken time out of his busy affairs and roughly looked at it, which recorded the cultivation techniques of the elixir from the first-level pill to the thirtieth level, and the thirtieth level pill was taken by the powerful immortal cultivators of the Great Perfection Realm in the Merge Period, and many old monsters in the Tribulation Period who could not get the higher-grade pills were also swallowed by the thirtieth level pills.
If Li Wenjun can integrate the content of this jade pupil slip. and his own attainments in alchemy. Forming his instincts, then going back and refining the pill given to him by the Mirror Lake City Lord would be even more of a piece of cake.
Of course, Li Wenjun wanted to cultivate to the level of being able to refine a level 30 pill. It's not something that can be done in a day or two. It's not a year or two that can be successful. Without decades, or even centuries, it is almost impossible to succeed. The reason why it took so long. It's not because Li Wenjun's understanding of alchemy is not enough, it's mainly because the more advanced the pill, the scarcer the materials needed, and if you want to find it, the difficulty is not ordinary people, and it takes a long time, not to mention.
The city lord of Jinghu gave Li Wenjun a total of three times this time, and he had agreed with Li Wenjun that in these three months, every half a month, he would send someone to take away the pill refined by Li Wenjun, and at the same time, he would provide Li Wenjun with the raw materials needed for alchemy as needed while taking the pill. Except for when he took the Dan, the City Lord of Jinghu would not send anyone to disturb Li Wenjun.
With a buffer of half a month, Li Wenjun didn't plan to start alchemy right away, he was ready to use the hard-won time to have a good understanding of the alchemy in that piece of jade pupil slip.
For Li Wenjun, conventional alchemy is fundamental, as long as he improves his alchemy, and then wants to improve the rune pill, it will be very easy. As for the rune pill master of the Tongtian Realm, if he wants to cultivate alchemy, the difficulty is much more difficult than Li Wenjun's cultivation of rune pill.
There is an obvious difference, Li Wenjun can refine up to twenty-two rune pills on the rune pill, but when refining the conventional pill, he can only refine the twenty-level rune pill, a difference of two levels. For all alchemists, including rune pill masters, the gap of one level can be regarded as a moat, and the gap between the two levels is simply the difference between cloud and mud, and it is impossible to surmount.
Li Wenjun's goal is very simple and clear, he hopes to use this half a month to further his attainments in alchemy, as long as he can refine the twenty-first level of conventional pills, then he can be regarded as a real alchemy master in conventional pills. His own strength can be regarded as a huge leap forward, and the benefits to his cultivation are self-evident.
Refining the twenty-first level elixir requires a lot of precious raw materials, fortunately, Li Wenjun has been prepared in this regard for a long time, for so many years, he has paid attention to collecting cultivation resources everywhere he goes, and his net worth is still relatively rich, and it is still no problem to get together the needs of this alchemy. He also made a special assessment, his current collection of alchemy raw materials was enough for him to cultivate to the point where he could refine the twenty-second level of the pill, but if he wanted to cultivate to the point where he could refine the twenty-third level of the pill, it would be a bit difficult.
Li Wenjun sent the City Lord's Mansion to his entourage on a big vacation, and then asked Marshal Kang to take a distracted beast slave to protect him, and then took out a large number of alchemy raw materials and began his journey of promotion in alchemy.
Facts have once again proved that Li Wenjun's comprehension is difficult for ordinary people to match, that is, it took seven or eight days for him to successfully refine the first furnace of the twenty-first level elixir, and after that, it took a few days for him to increase the success rate of refining the twenty-first level elixir to about thirty percent, which means that at this time, Li Wenjun can already be regarded as a real alchemy master.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Wenjun stopped and continued to practice alchemy, he began to refine the rune pill for the Mirror Lake City Lord, due to his great success in conventional alchemy, he looked back at the time of refining the rune pill, and felt much more relaxed than before, quite a feeling of lightness.
In just two or three days, Li Wenjun had refined multiple furnaces of Rune Pills, and in addition to meeting the requirements of the Mirror Lake City Lord, there was also a large amount of leftovers. In addition, there was still a large part of the alchemy raw materials that the Mirror Lake City Lord had given him.
According to the success rate of the above-average level 20 rune pill master, Li Wenjun selected a part of the refined pills. Then let Marshal Kang take these selected pills to the outside of the cave mansion and complete the handover with the people sent by the Mirror Lake City Lord, and then start the second and a half months of cultivation.
This time, Li Wenjun first took the alchemy raw materials provided by the Mirror Lake City Lord, first refined the rune pill, and then began to practice his regular alchemy technique.
The whole process lasted more than twenty days, and Li Wenjun finally succeeded in refining the twenty-second level elixir.
In the blink of an eye, it has been three months since Li Wenjun accepted the private task of the City Lord of Jinghu, and Li Wenjun has completed the task of the City Lord of Jinghu. He also put his attainments in conventional pills. He has been raised to the level of twenty-two levels, and among the alchemists of the same level, he is definitely from the upper level. If it is not compared to the success rate of refining the twenty-first level elixir, Li Wenjun may be even stronger than the top twenty-second level alchemy master.
In the refining of Rune Dan. Li Wenjun's achievements have also been upgraded by two levels. He was already able to refine a twenty-fourth-level rune pill. This is already one of the few levels among the Rune Dan Grandmasters.
Li Wenjun personally rushed to the City Lord's Mansion and completed the last handover with the City Lord of Jinghu, and the City Lord of Jinghu expressed great appreciation for Li Wenjun's achievements. He also paid Li Wenjun in full to avenge according to the agreement between the two of them in advance, and in addition, he also gave Li Wenjun an additional 1,000 points of Tongtian points, which is an additional reward. In his opinion, with these 1,000 points, even if Li Wenjun complained about him afterwards, he would not hate him.
Li Wenjun has time to hate the Mirror Lake City Lord, if he really talks about it, Li Wenjun still has to be grateful to the Mirror Lake City Lord, if it weren't for the Mirror Lake City Lord's selfishness, he would not have been able to spare such a long time to bury himself in alchemy. After all, his mission in Mirror Lake City was tight and heavy, and it was difficult to find time.
Just like now, more than half of the time he spent in Mirror Lake City has passed, and it is about to be half a year, and he has not completed the two major tasks assigned to him by the front-line command, and in the rest of the time, even if he takes out the strength to eat, it will be impossible to complete the task.
If you fail to complete the task, you will have to deduct military merits, rewards, and points. The punishment of the front-line command in this regard is quite severe, Li Wenjun knows the preciousness of Tongtian points, in order to be able to reduce the number of points penalized by the front-line command, Li Wenjun opened the door for the rest of the time, twelve hours a day, only closed for two hours, and the rest of the time, opened the door around the clock.
But even so, when the half-year deadline expired, Li Wenjun still failed to complete the total number of people he had to treat, let alone alchemy.
As soon as the half-year deadline arrived, the front-line command sent people from Juma City to pick up Li Wenjun, the Song Yuan Venerable Master and the Venerable Silk Yarn back to Juma City, and on the way back, they talked about their life in Jinghu City for half a year, and what surprised Li Wenjun was that not only did he not complete the task, but even the Song Yuan Venerable Master and the Venerable Silk Yarn did not complete the task.
After continuing to talk in depth, Li Wenjun realized that he had a false alarm. The tasks assigned by the front-line command are all arranged according to the year, that is, as long as Li Wenjun can complete the two tasks assigned by the front-line command in the next half a year, he can hand over the tasks. But don't look at half a year, but this doesn't mean that you will definitely be able to complete the task, you know, Juma City is the largest and most prosperous city on the front line, and there are the most and best immortal cultivators on the front line gathered here.
There are many rune pill masters, it does not mean that there are many injuries and sicknesses, after all, there is still a distance between Juma City and the front line of the confrontation between the real demon clan and the human race immortal cultivators, and Juma City is correspondingly much safer.
What's even more unoptimistic is that there are several other rune pill masters sent by the Medicine King Palace, who, like Li Wenjun, will return to Juma City from several other border cities to rest, and those who have not completed the task will compete with Li Wenjun for the already small number of injuries in Juma City, which makes the possibility of completing the task even lower.
Historically, there were very few rune dan divisions that could really complete the tasks assigned by the front-line headquarters. Fortunately, the tasks given by the front-line command often have different grading levels, which does not mean that if the task is not completed 100%, it cannot be handed over. As long as the completion level is above 90%, you can pass the level, less than 90%, you will be punished, and to get the reward, you must have at least 95% completion.
The Venerable Master Song and Yuan, like the Venerable Master of Silk Yarn, did not seek merit in the quantity and quality of their treatments, but sought no fault, and as long as they could complete 90 percent of the total, they would be thankful. Of course, this doesn't mean that they don't pursue it, they all put their hopes on the task of alchemy quantity and quality, compared with the phenomenon of the previous task with a small number of people completing it, there are much more rune pill masters who have completed this task, and it is very rare to not complete it.
Speaking of which, it is impossible for the front-line command to really formulate two tasks that all the rune pill masters cannot complete, in that case, it will offend these rune pill masters from the Medicine King Palace, and this consequence is definitely not what the front-line command wants, after all, they still have a lot of places to rely on the Medicine King Palace.
After learning of this situation, Li Wenjun breathed a long sigh of relief. He still has half a year, which is enough for him to complete two tasks, and he doesn't want to give up the rewards of both tasks, which is related to how much benefit he can get.
After Li Wenjun and the others returned to Juma City, the Lord of Juma City Killing the Demon Master held a banquet on behalf of the front-line command to entertain Li Wenjun and them. At the feast, in addition to thanking Li Wenjun for their hard work, the Demon Slayer Master also asked Li Wenjun whether they would like to stay in Juma City or go to one of several cities such as Jinghu City for the next six months, and he could respect the requirements of each Rune Dan Master and make corresponding arrangements.
There were really a few rune Dan masters who were worried that they would not be able to complete the task and asked to stay in other border city lords for a while longer, and the Demon Killer naturally had no reason not to allow it, so he immediately arranged for someone to do it.
After the banquet was over, only the ten Rune Dan Masters, including Li Wenjun, chose to stay in Juma City to rest for half a year, and the others chose to return to Jinghu City and other cities.
After Li Wenjun left the City Lord's Mansion, he returned to his cave mansion in Juma City. The first thing he did after returning home was to carry out a comprehensive investigation of the entire cave house, and after making sure that no one had touched his cave house in the half year he had been away, Li Wenjun rearranged the protection of the cave mansion.
After that, Li Wenjun sent a message to the Moon Porcelain Daoist who was far away in Seven Star City, and asked the Moon Porcelain Daoist to find a way to come to the front line, even if the Moon Porcelain Daoist himself couldn't come, if the Moon Porcelain Daoist couldn't come, he had to give him a letter.
After waiting for a day, the reply from the Yueci Daoist arrived. The Moon Porcelain Daoist told Li Wenjun that he really couldn't leave Seven Star City, and now his business in Seven Star City was booming, and he collected a large number of cultivation resources for Li Wenjun and stored them in Seven Star City. His thriving business in Seven Star City has already attracted a lot of attention, and the Moon Porcelain Daoist is worried that after leaving Seven Star City, his personal safety cannot be guaranteed, maybe after he leaves Seven Star City, not only will people die, but even the cultivation resources he spent a lot of money to buy for Li Wenjun will have to be snatched away. Yueci Daoist repeatedly begged Li Wenjun to understand him.
After reading the reply letter from the Moon Porcelain Daoist, Li Wenjun sent another letter to the Moon Porcelain Daoist, he asked the Moon Porcelain Daoist to continue to stay in Seven Star City with peace of mind and not to come over, in addition, he asked the Moon Porcelain Daoist to reduce the scale of the acquisition of cultivation resources, take out the remaining rune stones, hire a few more powerful and reputable bodyguards, and wait until he returns to Seven Star City.
The Yueci Dao people couldn't come over, and Li Wenjun had to consider finding another agent on the side of Juma City. If he could, Li Wenjun wanted to send out a beast slave and open a shop in Juma City to collect all kinds of cultivation materials here for him, but considering that this place was on the front line, and the immortal cultivators' exclusion of demon cultivators was much greater than that of Seven Star City, he still dispelled this unwise thought.
The beast slave can't be used, and Li Wenjun can only choose to find someone. In order to prevent any accidents, Li Wenjun decided to return to his old business and place people who could make him absolutely relieved and trustworthy in Juma City. (To be continued!)
