Chapter 66 Entering the Realm of Artifact Refining (1)
"Intermediate level ones can produce 20 pills per batch. The primary level should yield more, about 25 pills," said Dugu Qianye. Seeing the strange look on Mo Yin’s face, she asked, "Uncle Si, what’s wrong? Are my numbers much lower than others’? I’m already working on improving my pill yield rates."
"Do you know what the usual pill yield rate for alchemists is?" Mo Yin did not answer her question but asked one instead.
Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "When I was guiding Mo Feng before, I only taught him some refining techniques and never asked about his pill yield rate. I have even less knowledge about other people’s rates."
"Typically, alchemists can only produce 5 to 10 elixirs per batch. Mo Feng can now produce 15 per batch, which already makes him a genius in the realm of elixirs," Mo Yin said, taking a glance at Dugu Qianye. "For you to produce 25 per batch, tsk tsk, it truly is a miracle amongst miracles!"
Hearing Mo Yin’s praise, Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "And here I thought I was much worse than others!"
After all, she was currently using the pill recipes and techniques revealed by the Shennong Cauldron; how could she possibly fall behind?
Having rushed to produce a number of elixirs for the Mo Family Elixir Pharmacy to sell and stored some in her ring, Dugu Qianye did not spend too much effort on the primary and intermediate levels any longer, only refining a batch or two each day to ensure a continuous supply.
These days, she spent her mornings studying the methods to refine Grade 7 elixirs, and her nights were occupied with absorbing Phantom Power or practicing the Formless Divine Skill. Soon enough, she produced her first batch of Grade 7 elixirs. Though it was only a few pills, she was still very happy, as this signified her leap from an intermediate to an advanced alchemist.
Looking at the round elixirs in her palm, Dugu Qianye thought to herself: Indeed, standing on the shoulders of a giant allows one to see further. If not for the recipes and techniques brought forth by unsealing the Shennong Cauldron, she wouldn’t have become an advanced alchemist so quickly.
Of course, this was also inseparable from her own hard work.
