Chapter 50 Who could the murderer be?
“Not bad, not bad. The attribute panel also recognized my status as a first-level alchemist, hahaha…”
Song Jie was happy for a while, then looked at the proficiency of Fu Ling Pill.
“Proficiency is still 101…
“Is it because there is no 10-point proficiency bonus when the elixir, which has been refined with skill points, is successfully refined for the first time?”
Before, when he was refining Fudou Pill, Yuanyang Pill, and Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill.
The first time the refining is successful, you will be rewarded with ten proficiency points, which can be converted into ten skill points.
But this time, the Fu Ling Pill was successfully refined, but no proficiency or skill points were awarded.
“It seems you can’t have your cake and eat it too. When you gain something, you are bound to lose something.”
Although there was some regret in his heart, Song Jie did not regret his decision at that time.
If you don’t rely on skill points to improve your proficiency and rely solely on your own refining time and time again, you don’t know how many failures it will take before you can successfully refine it.
Wanting to take shortcuts and get rewards is probably only a dream.
Shaking his head and smiling, Song Jie put five Fuling Pills into the elixir bottle and labeled them “Fuling Pills”.
“Fu Ling Pills sold in the market usually come in bottles of five or ten pills.
“According to the market price, these five inferior Fuling Pills of mine can be sold for two spirit stones.”
Inferior quality does not mean that the elixir is a failure, but the quality is not that good and there are more impurities, but it is still effective, but the effect is worse.
Therefore, even if it is a low-quality Fu Ling Pill, there is still a market, and if the price is right, it can be sold.
“If we can refine low-quality Fu Ling Pills, we can sell four spirit stones for every five pills.
“If it’s of medium quality, it’s six spiritual stones for every five grains.
“Eight spiritual stones for every five grains of high quality.
“If you refine a high-quality Fuling Pill, you can sell ten pieces of spirit stones!
“As for the perfect quality…”
Song Jie smiled and shook his head.
He has never heard of a perfect quality Fuling Pill. At least in this Xinyuefang City, it is almost impossible to see a perfect quality first-grade spiritual pill.
Even in Baodan Tower, there are only high-quality first-grade elixirs at most, and the output is very small.
The first-grade elixirs sold in Baodanlou are mainly of medium and high quality, and occasionally high-quality first-grade elixirs are sold.
“If I can improve the proficiency of Fu Ling Pill to a small level, I should be able to stabilize the quality at low to medium levels.
“In this case, Fuling Pill’s profitability can exceed that of King Kong Dragon Tiger Pill.
“However, at this stage, the main medicine is King Kong Dragon Tiger Pill, with Bu Da Wan and Yuanyang Pill as supplements.
“Sell one or two bottles of low-quality rejuvenation pills and rejuvenation pills to let everyone know that I am already a first-level alchemist.”
Although Song Jie is now a celebrity, in the eyes of the monks in Xinyuefang City, Song Jie is still an unqualified alchemist.
His current fame is all due to the popularity of the elixir competition.
This elixir competition organized by the Alchemy Sect attracted a lot of attention, and Song Jie took advantage of this opportunity to become famous.
And these reputations are destined to weaken little by little as time goes by, and cannot last at all.
If he lets everyone know that he has been promoted to a first-level alchemist before this storm passes, he can consolidate the reputation he has gained.
He can also gain a certain status as a cultivator and is sought after by many monks.
By then, the market for elixirs will also be wider.
This is true fame and fortune.
Thinking of this, Song Jie looked at the skill points with only thirty-one points left, and his eyes seemed to be ignited with a ball of high-spirited flames.
“Continue to refine the elixir, accumulate skill points, and improve the proficiency of the Rejuvenation Pill and Qingming Netherfire to proficiency!”
After saying this, he picked up a few sticks of firewood, stuffed them into the stove, lit the fire, and began to refine the Vajra Dragon and Tiger Pill.
……
A street not far from Song Jie’s rented house.
A middle-aged man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat was walking on the street.
Looking at the remaining traces of the fight on the ground and the outer wall of the house, he reached out and brushed the blood that had solidified on the wall, and then put it to the tip of his nose to smell it.
“It is indeed my stupid brother’s blood.”
Nie Yixiong put down his hand expressionlessly, and looked at the holes in the wall, which were about the thickness of a finger.
“It seems that the murderer of my stupid brother was a monk who was good at fingering.
“My stupid brother died with a headshot in the end, which shows that in addition to fingering, he also mastered at least one powerful spell.
“The magic that can kill people in the head… the boxing technique is the most likely, but there are no traces of the fight left by the boxing technique at the scene.
“It’s also possible that the opponent only used his punch at the last moment and blew my stupid brother’s head off with one punch.”
Nie Yixiong observed the signs of fighting on the street while deducing the characteristics of the murderer.
“In addition to boxing, there are other spells that can kill people in one blow. I’m not in a hurry to make a conclusion on this yet.
“My stupid brother’s cultivation is at the fifth level of Qi refining stage, and the other party’s cultivation should not be lower than this.
“However, considering that my stupid brother is so stupid, it is not impossible for him to be killed by a monk whose cultivation level is lower than mine.
“For the time being, let’s target monks at the fourth level and above of the Qi Refining Stage…”
In Nie Yixiong’s view, if the cultivation level is only one level lower, the lower-level monks still have a chance to kill the higher-level monks.
As for the difference in cultivation level by two or even three levels, it is not completely impossible.
As long as you have a powerful first-grade spiritual weapon.
Or a high-quality first-grade elixir that can increase combat power in a short period of time.
Or possess a powerful first-grade talisman.
They can all achieve leapfrog counter-attack.
But these can only be achieved with the help of external forces.
Through his observation, no traces of spiritual weapons or talismans were found at the scene.
As for the high-quality first-grade elixir that can enhance combat power, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
It’s just that monks who can possess such spiritual elixirs at a low level in the Qi refining stage are usually not ordinary people and have some background.
Nie Yixiong felt that no matter how stupid his brother was, he would not be stupid enough to provoke a monk with a good background…
“There is another situation, that is, at a low level during the Qi refining period, one has honed their spells and body skills to become extremely proficient, and can also achieve leapfrog counter-attacks.
“However, most of these monks are geniuses, so how can they appear in Xinyuefang City? They should be in various major sects.
“If these are extremely unlikely situations, then the identity and background of the murderer is probably something I can’t afford to offend.”
Nie Yixiong shook his head and directly ruled out these extremely unlikely situations.
Then he continued to observe the remaining traces of fighting on this street.
“Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, the two sides struggled for a while, which shows that their cultivation levels are about the same.
“The murderer’s cultivation level should not exceed the sixth level of Qi refining stage.
“The cultivation level is between the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage and the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he is good at using finger techniques.
“In addition, he also masters a very powerful spell that can kill heads.”
You must know that with the strength of the skull of a fifth-level monk in the Qi Refining Stage, ordinary spells cannot be used to hit the head.
Nie Yixiong’s eyes stared straight ahead, narrowed slightly, and gradually became cold.
“Who could the murderer be?”
