Mission Accomplished, Successfully Promoted to Rank 2 Alchemist!

The sun rose in the east, and the sky gradually brightened.

Tianguang Peak.

Grade A cave abode.

Lu Ming slowly woke up from his sleep.

Last night in Gu Zecang's cave abode, he 'learned' until midnight before returning.

Originally, as a cultivator who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Ming did not need to rest at all.

Fatigue and exhaustion could be recovered through cultivation and breathing exercises. It could improve one's cultivation and replace sleep.

However, it was obvious that this was the reason why Lu Ming specialized in sleeping.

The spiritual energy of Tianguang Peak and Grade A cave abode was so dense.

If he didn't work harder and think of a way to spend his time elsewhere, how could he do it?

Lu Ming had just woken up and sat upon his bed when he heard the voice in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to host for completing the exclusive mission for newcomers!"

"Host has successfully promoted and taught scientific alchemy to one person. Obtained 200 alchemy experience points!"

"Congratulations to host for successfully advancing to Rank 2 alchemist!"

"All pill formulas for Rank 2 elixirs and the detailed analysis of the refining process based on scientific data have been distributed!"

A smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips.

Finally.

After the series of operations he had performed last night, in the process of teaching' him, Gu Zecang had finally learnt the essence of refining Rank 1 elixirs.

With the system's confirmation, he could finally be completely at ease.

At the same time, for some reason, Lu Ming had a feeling.

Gu Zecang was very likely to be his capable ambassador for the promotion of scientific alchemy in the future.

Retracting his thoughts, Lu Ming no longer thought about anything else.

Now that he had successfully completed the system's newcomer mission, he had officially become a Rank 2 alchemist!

After that, as long as he went to Pill Peak to pass the assessment and registration, then his subsequent sect inspection interval could be decreased from once every two months to once every four months.

It could be done.

There was nothing else.

Stable and steady.

However, Lu Ming recalled the title of the previous system mission that it was exclusive to newcomers.

It seemed to mean that the difficulty of the mission was not high.

And the next official mission was likely to be more difficult.

As expected.

At the same time that this thought appeared in Lu Ming's mind, the system mission appeared again:

[System mission: Successfully promote and let 10 people learn about 'scientific alchemy'. You will receive 500 alchemy experience points and 1,000 lottery points!]

[Judging criteria: You can use the 'scientific alchemy' steps to condense the pill fire alone, and successfully refine at least 1 type of Rank 1 elixir.]

10 people?

Lu Ming looked at this number and frowned slightly.

He quickly relaxed because he saw the generous rewards at the back.

The system displayed his alchemy rank:

[Host Lu Ming: Rank 2 alchemist, distance from Rank 3: 0/800]

500 alchemy experience points could supplement more than half of his alchemy experience. The rest should be done by himself.

However, because of the scientific alchemy technique, his success rate was almost 100%, so alchemy experience should be easy to earn.

The other thing was the most important part.

1,000 lottery points!

After all, his Golden FInger was actually a [lottery system], and each lottery cost 200 lottery points.

Then, if he completed the mission, he would have five lottery chances.

The contents of the lottery pool were also very rich.

There were many prizes, such as the [scientific sword control technique], the [scientific weapon refining technique], [scientific spiritual formation technique], [scientific breathing technique] and so on.

Through the [scientific alchemy technique] this time, Lu Ming was certain that the prizes were of great value.

Hu.

Lu Ming let out a deep breath.

He remembered that when he had just transmigrated here, he hadn't awakened the Golden Finger, so he hadn't planned his way in this world of cultivation.

But now...

He had arrived at the Center Sect and had the Golden Finger, so he had figured out its great value.

Therefore, he had to come up with a reasonable plan for the scientific cultivation path he would take in the future.

First of all, the most important thing now was to improve his alchemy skills and extend the time he could cultivate in the sect in peace.

At the moment, a Rank 2 alchemist could only extend the time he need to go on patrol from two months to four months.

A Rank 4 alchemist could achieve the goal of not going out to patrol for half a year. This was his first goal.

Secondly, it was to strengthen his ability to protect himself.

After all, it was for his own safety.

In order to avoid the sect's patrol mission, Lu Ming temporarily did not plan to continue to increase his cultivation through breathing exercises.

However, under such circumstances, he still had to ensure his safety.

After all, what if they had to mobilize all the disciples of the sect to fight the heretics one day?

Therefore, the most important thing for Lu Ming was to earn a sum of spirit stones through alchemy and then purchase spiritual weapons and talismans.

If he did not increase his own strength, then it would be very necessary to increase his strength through external items.

While Lu Ming was sorting out his plan, at the same time in the cave abode on his right, a handsome young man who was eight feet tall, wearing an embroidered azure dragon robe with a sword at his waist, walked out.

It's done!

I've finally succeeded!

After last night's "teaching" and practice, Gu Zecang was now full of confidence.

Because this time, he had completely grasped the method of condensing pill fire and refining the spirit gathering pill that he had learned from Junior Brother Lu!

Moreover, this method of refining pills wasn't just a method. The most important thing was to learn the method of controlling fire.

He believed that even if he was given other elixirs, he still had the confidence to successfully refine them.

This was enough for him, Gu Zecang, to become a true Rank 1 alchemist!

Thus, he had completely accomplished the bet he had made with the Pill Peak disciples.

His heart was filled with ecstasy.

And all of this credit clearly came from Junior Brother Lu Ming.

For this reason, before Gu Zecang left, he even took some of the extremely precious spirit gathering powder outside his Grade A cave abode and then put it into the restriction of Lu Ming's cave abode.

The density of the spiritual energy gathered in Lu Ming's cave abode instantly went up another level.

It could be considered as his initial intention.

To thank Junior Brother Lu.

Then, what Gu Zecang wanted to do next was very simple.

That was..

To attend the appointment!

To go to Pill Peak!

...

Above the Pill Peak.

It was different from the past.

At this moment, the Deputy Hall Masters of the various Pill Halls had brought over half of their disciples.

These people gradually gathered together, and countless alchemy disciples gathered near Pill Hall No. 1.

The reason why there was such a big commotion among the disciples of the Pill Peak this time was due to the following:

Firstly, it was the uniqueness of the Pill Peak.

Few disciples of the Center Sect were willing to offend the disciples of the Pill Peak; Gu Zecang was the first one.

Secondly, the disciples of the Pill Peak were used to being arrogant. Gu Zecang was the first one to reject the recruitment of the disciples of the Pill Peak, which caused quite a stir at that time.

However, at the same time, because Gu Zecang was an extremely talented genius in cultivation, no one belittled him because of this.

However, there were still people who used this matter to mock the Pill Peak for a very long time. This also made the Pill Peak disciples very unhappy

In the end, they didn't expect to encounter this matter again. They definitely had to properly mock this person.

Hence.

At this moment, in front of Pill Hall No. 1 on the Pill Peak, over a hundred people were waiting for that figure to appear.

"Come, come, come, place your bets!"

"Let's see how far that idiot can go today!"

"I bet three spirit stones that he can at most go through the process of fusing the medicinal herbs into the pill!"

"Nonsense, I bet that he can at most condense one pill fire!"

"Interesting, then I bet that he will directly admit defeat!"

"What? No one bet that he will succeed today?"

"Good fellow, am I crazy or are you crazy? We, alchemy disciples, have been taught by our senior brothers for at least half a year before we became Rank 1 alchemists. Do you believe that he can succeed in a month of self-study?"

"That makes sense, then I bet that he can only condense one pill fire at most!"

They started to wait.

Because they were bored, the disciples of the Pill Peak even gathered together to make a bet with spirit stones.

In the crowd.

Most of the people around were betting that Gu Zecang would fail at a certain step.

However, a female disciple called Shan Weizi didn't follow suit. Instead, she broke the deadlock and placed two spirit stones on Gu Zecang's winning option.

The scene of Shan Weizi placing her bet also caused quite a bit of surprise.

However, just as these people wanted to ask Shan Weizi what she was thinking...

Before they could say anything...

They heard a commotion around them!

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the horizon.

They only saw...

A figure riding on a green sword breaking through the clouds, floating over.

The person who came was Gu Zecang!
