Ye Hua's current salary at the store was 5 lower-quality spiritual stones.
If the success rate of Ye Hua's pill concoction were to increase…
And he was able to concoct 750 lower-quality qi congregation pills from the 1500 pills worth of ingredients…
It would mean that he would be able to have an additional 250 qi congregation pills for himself.
After exchanging the 250 qi congregation pills into spiritual stones, he would be able to receive roughly about 12.5 lower-quality spiritual stones.
After counting everything, it meant that, in just a month's time…
Ye Hua should easily be able to obtain 45 lower-quality spiritual stones.
Upon imagining about the wealth that he was going to be able to slowly accumulate…
Ye Hua felt that he was filled with enthusiasm to start trying to concoct pills again!
In my previous life, I was lucky enough to be able to land myself on a 9-5 state-enterprise job that paid well.
And in this life, I am lucky enough to be able to obtain a system.
However, my luck with women seems to be the same…
Perhaps, this is what people meant when they say that everything evens out in the end…
Nevertheless!
With my system, and my identity as an alchemist, my future in this cruel cultivation world finally looks hopeful!
And speaking of alchemist, I should probably use the reward that I obtained from the system.
"System, I want to use my reward of thorough understanding of a peak level 1 alchemist!"
Right after Ye Hua muttered in his mind…
Ye Hua instinctively closed his eyes…
And in the next moment, various knowledge regarding alchemy suddenly began to flow into Ye Hua's mind.
Various knowledge flashed through Ye Hua's mind…
And Ye Hua felt as if he was watching an extremely sped-up video.
But mystically enough, Ye Hua was able to make sense and remember all of the knowledge that flashed through his mind.
It was as if the knowledge were being imprinted straight into Ye Hua's mind.
After what seemed like a few minutes had passed.
The knowledge that was flowing into Ye Hua's mind finally came to a stop.
When Ye Hua opened his eyes…
Even though only a few minutes had passed in the real world…
To him, it felt like weeks and months had actually passed by.
As he began recalling his knowledge regarding alchemy, he was clearly able to sense that…
Right now, he had truly possessed the knowledge of a peak level 1 alchemist.
Now, to put his newly gained knowledge to test…
"It's time to concoct pills and start earning money!"
Ye Hua was currently filled with enthusiasm.
As someone who possessed the memories of two lifetimes…
Ye Hua understood one thing, and it was that, money was a man's guts.
It was the same no matter which world it was in.
Be it Earth or be it the cultivation world.
It was all the same.
On Earth, if one had money, they would be able to afford buying house, cars…
Afford to travel through the entire world without any worries…
Afford to not have to be restricted by anyone…
Meanwhile, in this cultivation world, it was pretty much the same.
If a cultivator was rich and possessed lots of spiritual stones…
The cultivator would be able to afford to buy a house in Silver Moonlight Market instead of having to rent…
Afford to buy pills to aid them in boosting their cultivation speed…
Afford to buy expensive magical beast meat and spiritual grain for every meal…
Meanwhile, if a cultivator had no money and was poor…
They would have to live like Ling Rui'er, having to act as a green tea bitch just for the sake of a few pills.
In this cultivation world, people were much more materialistic compared to people on Earth.
After all, in the cultivation world, everything was tied to spiritual stones.
If one had enough spiritual stones, they would be able to cultivate to a higher realm of cultivation.
And with a higher realm of cultivation, it meant becoming stronger and being able to possess a longer life span.
High realm cultivators were easily able to live more than hundreds of years, so long as they don't go around courting death.
Meanwhile, on Earth, the average lifespan of a human was only about 70+ years.
And realistically speaking…
When a person on Earth reaches 40+ years old, their health would usually have already begun to decline.
Right now, with the Simp's Reciprocal System.
As Ye Hua's cultivation realm gets higher, he would be able to come into contact with higher realm female cultivators.
And once he was able to come into contact with higher realm female cultivators…
He would be able to have the chance to meet with someone who possessed an even higher reciprocal rate compared to Ling Rui'er.
Therefore, it was no wonder that Ye Hua was currently filled with enthusiasm.
Without being able to wait anymore…
Ye Hua began taking out medicinal herbs from a storage box that was located at a certain distance away from the alchemy furnace.
However, after taking out the medicinal herbs…
As Ye Hua began checking the medicinal herbs, he couldn't help but wrinkle his brows.
There's something wrong with the medicinal herbs…
After Ye Hua was done with checking all of the medicinal herbs, Ye Hua discovered that there was indeed a huge issue with the medicinal herbs.
Specifically, the medicinal herbs that possessed a huge issue were the red moon flowers.
There were two main ingredients that were needed when concocting a qi congregation pill…
And the two ingredients were red moon flowers and withered dusk grass.
If there was any slight issue with either of those two main ingredients, it was certain that the pills that were concocted would end up as lower-quality pills.
And even worse, if there was a huge issue with either of those two main ingredients…
The pills that were concocted would always end up as failed pills.
When Ye Hua inspected closely onto all of the red moon flowers…
He discovered that…
Amongst one third of the red moon flowers…
There were light yellow spots on the petals of those red moon flowers.
If one didn't look closely at the petals, it was impossible to even see the yellow spots that were on the petals.
The yellow spots on the petals of the red moon flowers meant that the red moon flowers were completely defective and shouldn't be used for concocting pills.
Upon making this discovery, Ye Hua's expression turned gloomy.
Everything made sense to him now.
…
Previously, when the previous host was still staying at the family's manor…
The previous host possessed a success rate of 25% when concocting pills.
This meant that, when the previous host attempts to concoct pills…
The previous host was able to successfully concoct pills in one out of every four tries.
And yet, the moment the previous host arrived at Silver Moonlight Market…
The previous host's success rate dropped to less than 15%.
Every time the previous host tried to concoct pills…
He would succeed in concocting pills in only one out of every seven or eight tries.
Previously, when Ye Hua looked through the previous host's memories and saw this…
He merely thought that the previous host's success rate decreased due to not being able to get accustomed to living in a new place.
But from the looks of things, that was evidently not the case at all.
...
It is no wonder that the previous host's success rate at concocting pills would suddenly become so low after he arrived at Silver Moonlight Market.
When I looked through the memories, I initially thought that it was due to the previous host not being used to staying at a new location.
But now, everything makes sense.
Someone has been sabotaging the previous host!
Upon thinking up to here, Ye Hua couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The medicinal herbs are provided by the store…
And the store is a part of Ye Family's property.
Therefore, there isn't any benefit for Ye Family to purposely try and sabotage my success rate.
So… just who is it that is trying to sabotage me?
...
"Knock, knock…"
