Chapter 26: Completing and Optimizing the Medium-Grade Recipe
Underground market.
Yidan Garden Exclusive Store.
"Hmm, 23 mid-grade Wood-Fate Flowers and Fruits, 13800 yuan; 30 low-grade Wood-Fate Flowers and Fruits, 3000 yuan; 5 low-grade Fire-Radiance Flowers and Fruits, 1000 yuan; totaling 17800 yuan. Did you receive them?" Yao Yao asked with a smile.
All will be purchased at the highest price.
It's 30% more expensive than "buyers" from other regions.
Zhang and the others said they would keep the first bag for themselves.
Then it would all be their own.
Just subtract 1000 from Yang Zhilan's.
He has earned a total of 16800 yuan.
Use some of it to purchase potting soil.
A rare nutrient soil was prepared.
It will be used to plant the first rare spirit seed.
The remaining 400 were sold to Zhang San and his group.
Having finished planning, Jiang Qiu glanced at her account balance, then paused, "Why is there another transfer? What's this 20000 yuan commission for?"
"Oh, this is a batch of high-grade [Spirit Cultivation Pills] that my senior sister refined last night using your superior-grade fruits. They've all been sold, and you get a 20% cut of the profits!"
Earn 20000 from a single top-grade fruit?!
*Thump*, Jiang Qiu's heart skipped a beat, her values trembling. "There can be so many?"
"That's quite a lot. Normally, for each batch of high-grade [Spirit Cultivation Pills] produced during the training in the garden, the cultivator who provides the raw materials can only earn a few thousand coins, but..."
Yao Yao pursed her lips, staring at him with a hint of envy: "The superior quality you provided not only has dual characteristics, but also an added bonus of excellent quality, making this pill achieve a 100% superior quality yield and a high selling price. As a result, I'll give you up to 20% of the profits and have you sign an exclusive supply agreement."
It must be the optimized features that are now making their impact.
It can actually achieve a 100% yield of high-quality products?
Jiang Qiu was suddenly taken aback. He was an outsider and didn't understand what this meant, but being able to earn several times more money than others was definitely a good thing. "Will all the high-quality fruits I cultivate in the future have this kind of share?"
"My senior sister said that if you can guarantee that you can cultivate similar traits every time, she will personally refine the pills for you and give you the highest possible share."
In reality, there's no way to guarantee that.
The characteristics of top-grade fruits are random.
You can only decide the type of feature.
But that's enough.
Jiang Qiu nodded readily, "I can guarantee that every top-grade fruit will enhance the alchemy process."
"That's good. Next," Yao Yao said with a smile, took out a spirit seed bag and a special supply agreement, and pushed them over. "This is the rare spirit seed [Golden Spirit Cage] that your senior sister has granted you to cultivate. After you sign the special supply agreement, I will give you two formulas for reference."
"Okay." Having discussed it on the phone yesterday, Jiang Qiu didn't hesitate. After briefly reviewing the terms of the exclusive supply agreement, she prepared to sign, but…
"The first cultivator to provide a high-quality fruit to facilitate the successful refining of a new pill will be awarded one new pill as an incentive?" His gaze lingered on the end.
I still remember Yao Yao mentioning it.
Zhao Nan has recently been researching new drugs.
Rare level 1 spirit fruits can only be used as auxiliary ingredients.
The lowest grade of that new pill is a level 2 pill.
This level of raw material is difficult to procure.
It is said that only one batch is refined per season.
If you're unlucky, wait six months.
And the prerequisite is having the money to hire an alchemist.
Even if a relatively simple level 2 pill has undergone improvement, the price of a low-grade one still starts at five figures.
Not to mention the Level 2 pills that are still under development!
Jiang Qiu's heart leaped with excitement, "Is the shopkeeper's new pill still under development? Do I still have a chance to receive one?"
"Huh?" Yao Yao looked at him, then at the terms he was pointing to, and frowned. "Well... theoretically you have a chance, but you're not the only one who signed the exclusive supply agreement, and she's already agreed to provide top-quality results within a month."
It's normal for exclusive supply agreements to be signed with multiple people.
Alchemists need to ensure a stable supply.
Perhaps the other side signed the agreement for this very reason.
The shop owner wanted to try signing it himself.
But... I might be able to take the lead in cultivating them.
This is a rare opportunity and should not be missed.
Jiang Qiu made up her mind, her eyes burning, "I understand, can I have the recipe for reference?"
"Yes, this is a low-grade recipe. It can reliably produce 3 low-grade fruits, but the cost is relatively high. It will cost at least two or three thousand yuan per cycle."
"This is an incomplete mid-grade recipe. It can produce 3 to 5 low-grade fruits, with a chance of producing mid-grade ones, but the cost will double. It is recommended to complete the recipe before use."
Jiang Qiu nodded, "Okay."
Two paper recipes were handed over. The moment her fingertips touched them, a panel appeared. Jiang Qiu's pupils widened slightly, and a feeling of surprise welled up inside her.
[Includes incomplete mid-grade recipes]
[Complete the recipe]
[Choose an optimization direction:]
[1. Following the original formula, the ingredients of the exclusive spirit fertilizer have been simplified, reducing raw material costs by 50%, and ensuring a stable yield of at least one medium-grade fruit.]
[2. Following the original formula, the special fertilizer is enhanced, the growth cycle is reduced by 30%, the yield reaches 10 fruits, and medium-grade fruits can be cultivated.]
[3. Upgrade the original formula, increasing costs by 3 times and limiting yield to 3 fruits, but a superior fruit path will appear during cultivation (once this path is implemented, the corresponding superior formula will be upgraded)]
Options one and two, reducing costs and promoting a good harvest respectively, are both positive additions.
What is most needed right now is a superior fruit cultivation method, so Jiang Qiu decisively chose option three!
Ding! The incomplete mid-grade formula emitted a stream of light visible only to him, condensing into a complete formula projection, which was projected into his mind and stored.
[Mid-grade recipe (Golden Spirit Cage): Consumes a large amount of spirit stone powder and other resources to prepare essential growth fertilizer for the Golden Spirit Cage. Cultivating the Golden Spirit Cage may unlock a path to cultivate superior-grade fruits, at which point the recipe will be upgraded.]
(Note: Essential growth fertilizers are a fixed component of the formula and are not subject to additional optimization during formulation.)
……
The original planned path for cultivation was...
The second pot of gold was used to prepare a large amount of nutrient soil.
Until a rare bonus is obtained.
Then use it to induce iteration.
It's similar to the [Wood Edge Flower].
We need to proceed step by step, first cultivating medium-grade fruits as spiritual seeds before we can further cultivate superior ones.
It takes a long time, with two generations involved.
It also greatly depletes spiritual energy.
But now.
Complete the missing mid-grade formula.
A direct path to cultivating high-quality fruit emerges.
As long as you follow the instructions in the formula and purchase enough raw materials and fertilizers, you can ensure the growth needs are met.
Consuming a fixed amount of wood-attribute spiritual energy [Growth] and fire-attribute spiritual energy [Ascension] will produce a corresponding number of mid-grade or even high-grade fruits.
Simple and quick.
of course.
If there is a recipe.
It would be even better if it were made with rare nutrient soil.
With this in mind, after leaving the store, Jiang Qiu, along with Zhang San and the others who were eagerly waiting at the entrance, went to a nearby underground shopping mall to purchase a batch of raw materials.
The disposable balance is nearly 4.
250 per portion of Grade 1 nutrient soil.
Jiang Qiu looked at Zhang San and the others, smiled slightly, and said, "Send your requests to the group chat, I'll compile them, and we'll prepare everything tonight. You can pay in full and take it home, how about that?"
"Okay! I'll start with ten samples of the increased production!"
"Then I'll try ten doses of the reduced-cycle treatment!"
"I...I want a reduced cycle."
The group chat buzzed with messages. Under the expectant yet apprehensive gazes of everyone, Jiang Qiu finished compiling the statistics, then purchased the raw materials and went into the private room to prepare the ingredients!

【…】
One batch of nutrient soil after another was optimized according to Zhang San and the others' requirements. The mixing was done smoothly and efficiently, until Jiang Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and her hands slowed down. "A rare one has appeared!"
