Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 42: The New Alchemist of the Honey Peach Oolong Sect!

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The New Alchemist of the Honey Peach Oolong Sect!

"When I registered this Demon Sect, the Demon Inheritance I reported was a unique Pill Formula."

Chu Lanxi explained:

"This Pill Formula is called the Calming Pill, and all my drinks contain its ingredients."

"The effect of the Calming Pill is simple, it greatly soothes the spirit of a Cultivator, like a mental massage."

"Many office workers and urban elites come here for a drink after being busy for a long time."

Upon hearing this explanation, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi realized.

In any case, this milk tea indeed has some real ingredients, so selling it for one hundred eighty a cup isn’t exactly a rip-off.

However, the problem arises: why is this spirit-soothing elixir considered a Demon Pill Formula?

Su Yuan asked this question out of curiosity.

And Chu Lanxi’s answer left Su Yuan silent.

"Because consuming too much of the Calming Pill causes the brain to fall into eternal tranquility, stop thinking, and lose interest in all external things."

"Once it reaches this point, the consumer will be obedient to any external command, becoming the most useful servant."

Goodness!

As expected of a Demonic Elixir, it’s truly potent!

The reason why Chu Lanxi opened the shop here is thoroughly understood.

But there’s still another question.

What is the situation with the fate of Stealing Fragrance and Jade?

Su Yuan quietly activated the Demon Technique·Finger Fate, and saw that the fate above the other party’s head was still in an unresponsive state.

Could it be that his fate today won’t respond in the milk tea shop but will respond only after leaving the shop?

Just as Su Yuan was thinking this, a beautiful city lady sat at the bar, her expression depressed, and said to Chu Lanxi:

"Boss Chu, why do I still feel so sad after drinking your tea?"

Chu Lanxi immediately left the two classmates and smiled:

"Sister, our shop’s tea can alleviate mental fatigue. If you want to relieve the pain in your heart, why not talk to me?"

The two of them started chatting away.

Chu Lanxi’s words were witty and humorous, making the city lady laugh in just a few sentences.

And Su Yuan watched as the "Stealing Fragrance and Jade" fate above Chu Lanxi’s head turned into a responsive state.

Su Yuan: "..."

So, the spiritual exchange counts as well?

This damn Demon Technique is indeed unreliable!

It was then that Su Yuan noticed that most of the customers in the shop were women, and they occasionally glanced at Chu Lanxi.

Evidently, a large part of the reason they came to the shop was to see this excessively handsome guy.

Damn, is appearance really the greatest productivity?

Forget it, finding my own opportunity is more important.

Su Yuan picked up the menu he had just thrown on the floor and began to study it carefully.

What kind of opportunity can this Demon Sect known as the Honey Peach Oolong Sect offer me?

The shop itself is normal, the milk tea is normal, the only special thing is the Calming Pill.

Will the opportunity lie in the elixir?

Suddenly, a flash of Spiritual Light crossed Su Yuan’s mind.

His Demon Technique·Finger Spirit can extract Spiritual Energy from a designated item, condensing into Spirit Pills with different effects.

Even though he has always extracted Spiritual Energy from unwanted slop, he could still refine something as extraordinary as the Blue Pill. What would happen if he directly extracted Spiritual Power from those precious medicinal materials?

Would it have the same effect as the elixirs painstakingly refined by others?

Thinking of this, Su Yuan realized, the upper limit of the Demon Technique·Finger Spirit might be terrifyingly high!

But whether reality matches his thoughts, he must verify carefully.

When Chu Lanxi finally finished speaking with the city lady, Su Yuan impatiently asked:

"Lanzi, is the job of refining Calming Pills still hiring? Do you think I can do it?"

Chu Lanxi was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression:

"The Alchemist who used to refine Calming Pills for my shop just had an alchemy accident and went to the hospital a few days ago, so we do plan to hire."

"But... can you really do Alchemy?"

Su Yuan cleared his throat, not saying a word.

Chu Lanxi understood, didn’t ask further, smiled:

"If you’re so confident, then give it a try, check out the Pill Formula first."

With that, he directly sent an electronic version of the Pill Formula to Su Yuan’s phone.

Su Yuan took out his phone and pretended to look at the Pill Formula.

Hmm, he couldn’t understand it at all.

He simply used the excuse of inspecting the medicinal materials to enter a small Alchemy Room at the back of the shop.

Inside the Alchemy Room, there was only Su Yuan. He looked around the Alchemy Room and thought it had a classical style.

Because there was even a Pill Furnace here!

An Alchemy Room without a Pill Furnace sounds as ridiculous as a trash can without garbage, a bed without a person, or a table without things on it.

But this is the norm in the modern Alchemy Realm.

In this era, smart Alchemy Furnaces have been mass-produced. Alchemy is like cooking rice—set the time on the smart Alchemy Furnace and wait for it to finish.

Even if you want to experience the life of an ancient Alchemist, a smart Alchemy Furnace can be used as a regular Pill Furnace, very user-friendly.

In this regard, even if Su Yuan’s Demon Technique·Finger Spirit can skip the alchemy steps and directly form pills, it’s not much different from the modern industrial alchemy system.

Fortunately, smart Alchemy Furnaces have drawbacks.

The biggest drawback is the cost!

For small batch alchemy, hiring an Alchemist for handmade refining is more cost-effective.

Evidently, the Honey Peach Oolong Sect follows this model.

Su Yuan first carefully checked the surroundings, ensuring there was no surveillance or the like, and then looked at the full set of medicinal materials for refining Calming Pills on the table.

Dozens of types of medicinal materials were placed in different containers, according to their ratios.

Su Yuan went up and opened all the containers, took a deep breath, and activated the Demon Technique·Finger Spirit, covering all the medicinal materials with his spell.

Bits of Spiritual Energy slowly extracted from the medicinal materials, rushing to Su Yuan’s palm.

Su Yuan could clearly feel that the Spiritual Power contained in these medicinal materials was much more than in the slop.

In no time, the medicinal materials were exhausted, and five deep-red pills appeared in Su Yuan’s hand.

He looked at these pills, and a system prompt immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Unnamed Red Pill: Lose self-awareness after consumption, becoming a puppet obeying orders; the side effect is a significant increase in energy and a relief from fatigue after consumption.]

Su Yuan: "..."

The side effect and efficacy are reversed!

However, aside from this small flaw, the efficacy of the red pills in his hand truly matched Chu Lanxi’s description of the Calming Pill.

His speculation was correct.

As long as the ratio of medicinal materials was correct, relying on the Demon Technique·Finger Spirit could indeed refine the pill on the Pill Formula!

This cheat can’t be nerfed!

Hehe, it seems the day of becoming a Demon Venerable is just around the corner!

Su Yuan’s mouth crazily curled upwards, unable to be held down.

Then, Su Yuan set the Pill Furnace on fire to dry burn, tossed the depleted medicinal materials into the furnace to burn away, and after dawdling for a while, boldly walked out of the Alchemy Room with the Calming Pills.
