In the alchemical chamber, a faint azure flame slowly burned within the fire gate of the alchemical cauldron.
The blue firelight naturally emanated a fragrance of plants and trees, albeit masked by a more intense medicinal aroma.
"Rise!"
With a low shout from Liu Yu, he changed the spell gesture in his hand, causing the lid of the cauldron to immediately rise into the air.
Inside, seven pills the size of longan, adorned with two faint azure spiritual patterns, emitted a subtle deep blue spiritual light, now exposed to the air.
The medicinal aroma in the room instantly intensified severalfold.
"Not bad."
"This 'Azure Alchemical Cauldron' is indeed useful; it lives up to its status as a magical treasure."
"Even when refining third-tier spiritual elixirs, it can increase the success rate by 30 to 50%, ensuring my success rate for refining 'Essence Pills' exceeds 30%."
Looking at the seven deep blue pills the size of longan in the cauldron, Liu Yu nodded in satisfaction.
He then waved his hand to draw them into his palm, checked them, and stored them in a jade vial before placing them into his storage bracelet.
At that moment, it had already been two years since he arrived in the capital of the Great Qian, "Divine Capital City."
Sticking to his usual low-key approach, Liu Yu spent a full year investigating the price situation and the implicit and explicit rules in the Central Domain and Divine Capital.
After a year, he cautiously sold a thousand-year spiritual herb and exchanged it for tens of thousands of spiritual stones as his startup capital in this city.
There was no choice; at that time, Liu Yu's supply of spiritual stones had run dry, and he had not gathered enough spiritual herbs and elixirs to refine the "Essence Pill."
The other types of third-tier spiritual elixirs were unique to Tian Nan, and selling them rashly might draw attention.
As for selling second-tier elixirs, Liu Yu considered it but ultimately abandoned the idea.
Given his current daily expenses, selling second-tier spiritual elixirs would only yield minimal returns.
Moreover, due to the low value of second-tier elixirs, frequent sales would easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, which did not align with his plan to quietly amass wealth.
By selling a thousand-year spiritual herb, he obtained enough spiritual stones to hasten the growth of his spiritual herbs, and then through refining "Essence Pills" to disguise and sell them, he eventually entered a positive cycle.
Relying on the ultra-low-cost growth of spiritual herbs from his Immortal Abode, even if the initial success rate for pill refining was low, Liu Yu could easily turn a profit.
Once the number of spiritual stones accumulated to a certain amount, he purchased the current "Azure Alchemical Cauldron," which significantly boosted his pill refining success rate.
Recently, the success rate for refining "Essence Pills" had stabilized at around 30%.
"The Divine Capital gathers the essence of the entire Central Domain; only here can I quickly collect and refine the spiritual herbs for three types of elixirs."
"I have gathered all the spiritual herbs for the Essence Pill, and have also collected more than half of what I need for the Consolidation Yuan Pill and Azure Void Elixir."
"Even the necessary spiritual herbs for refining the Soul Condensing Elixir, which are beneficial for the Primordial Spirit, have been gathered in small parts."
"With sufficient spiritual stones, it's indeed much easier to thrive in the Divine Capital than anywhere else."
After finishing his alchemical work, Liu Yu cleaned the "Azure Alchemical Cauldron" and stored it away in his storage bracelet.
Reflecting on the situation over the past two years, a smile appeared on his face.
Although he had not gained returns far surpassing his own abilities by using the identity of the "messenger of Tian Nan," everything was developing positively due to his steady approach.
Moreover, this way of doing things was low-risk, ensuring his safety as long as no unexpected situations arose.
