Chapter 708 Yan Chao’s Dilemma
The ingredients required to refine the Longevity Pill partly overlap with those needed for the Plum Blossom Pill, but there are also many that are different.
Both core materials are the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew.
Apart from the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew, the ingredients required—if viewed from a value perspective—make the Longevity Pill far exceed the Plum Blossom Pill in material worth.
However, even so, Jing Yan did not hesitate to refine the Longevity Pill. This was not only because the effects of the Longevity Pill were much higher than those of the Plum Blossom Pill but mainly because one furnace of Longevity Pills did not require a single drop of Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew while a furnace of Plum Blossom Pills required exactly one drop.
According to Jing Yan’s analysis, one drop of Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew should be able to refine three furnaces of Longevity Pills. In this way, refining the Longevity Pill was much more efficient compared to the Plum Blossom Pill. Although the value of the other ingredients was significantly higher, these materials could all be purchased with Spirit Stones, and thus, a lot could be saved by not using the rarest and most precious Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew.
Prepare for alchemy.
Jing Yan first separated the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew, considering each drop as one portion, and placed them each in a separate Jade Bottle.
There were sixteen drops of Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew in total.
Looking at these Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dews, Jing Yan often sighed, marveling at how the Ancestor of the Yan Family, Yan Chao, could have obtained so much of it.
Then Jing Yan took out some Thousand-year-old Jade Marrow!
Thousand-year-old Jade Marrow is also a ninth-level material, highly valued. However, it pales in comparison to the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew, to the point where they are hardly comparable. Jing Yan had quite a bit of Thousand-year-old Jade Marrow, which he had scavenged from slain Martial Arts experts and had hardly used before.
The Thousand-year-old Jade Marrow was used to dilute the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew. One drop of Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew, fused with a small amount of Thousand-year-old Jade Marrow, would ultimately be diluted into three portions. In this manner, three furnaces of Longevity Pills could be refined.
