Chapter 430 - 261 Congratulations_2
Regarding the division of profits for an Alchemy Master, if there were two Spirit Pills produced, one third of the share should be designated primarily to the Alchemy Master, counting any fraction less than one as one, meaning the Alchemy Master would take away one of the pills, leaving the remaining Spirit Pill.
However, if a furnace produces three Spirit Pills, then the Alchemy Master still receives one-third of the share, but this allows the seeker of the pills to obtain two Spirit Pills.
The difference between one and two Third-grade Spirit Pills is enormous. Golden Core cultivators risk their lives striving for Spiritual Medicine abroad—who wouldn't want to find an Alchemy Master who can produce a full yield of Spirit Pills!
"This is great news, congratulations to Elder Ma for cultivating an Alchemy Master!" Elder Su said with a smile, raising his cup and holding the Spiritual Tea as if it were wine.
"Congratulations to Elder Ma!" Elder Zhao and the other Golden Core Elders exclaimed loudly.
Drinking the Third Grade Spirit Tea in one gulp, although this way of consuming Spiritual Tea lost the essence of tasting the Third Grade Spirit Tea, none of the Golden Core Elders cared about subtleties in such an excited mood.
"How about we go see Shiming, Master Ma can check the 'Turtle Marrow Essence Boosting Pills' as well!" suggested Elder Zhao after the Golden Core Elders put down their cups.
"I'll send Shiming a message!" Elder Su hastily agreed before Elder Ma could speak.
In the past, the Golden Core Elders would summon any Foundation Establishment Cultivator they wanted to see, but now, no one proposed to call Li Shiming to them; instead, they all agreed to go to Li Shiming's Sword Holding Peak.
This was the change in status—having the potential of an Alchemy Master, and actually becoming one, bridged the gap that aligned Li Shiming's status with that of the Golden Core Elders.
Even the status of Alchemy Master, within the sect and the Cultivation World, was more coveted than that of a Golden Core Elder of a great sect.
Great sects had many Golden Core Elders, but having an Alchemy Master in a sect was indeed remarkable.
