Chapter 279: Chapter 135: Taking the Pill, Just Reclaiming What’s Mine_2

Previously, it was inconvenient to do this outside.

Now, the lack of Spiritual Power was continuously hindering his cultivation.

So, he took out a Jade Flower Pill.

With a thought.

He first used the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp. After lighting the Heart Lamp, he swallowed the Spirit Pill in one gulp.

Boom!

It was like a volcanic eruption.

The terrifying and turbulent spiritual energy from the Spirit Pill surged out rapidly.

Almost immediately, it began to rampage within his body.

Zhou Changwang didn’t dare to be negligent and quickly operated the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique.

The Spiritual Power within him swiftly swept the surging medicinal power, circulating inside his body.

His Spiritual Sense pushed and compressed the medicinal power, controlling its slow dissemination.

More focus was put on operating the cultivation technique, converting it into Spiritual Power.

The Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp floated above the Dantian, repeatedly burning the converted Spiritual Power, constantly removing impurities, scorching the erysipelas, refining them completely, and then expelling them from the body.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

One incense stick, two incense sticks, three incense sticks...

One circulation, two circulations, three circulations...

Zhou Changwang seemed tireless, constantly operating the cultivation technique.

The Spiritual Power within him continued to increase and grow with the operation of the cultivation technique.

Until after seven cycles, he finally felt the medicinal power of the Spirit Pill within him was fully absorbed.

Though inevitably, a lot of medicinal power still escaped from his body, wasted.

But at least most of the medicinal power was locked, absorbed, and converted by him.

Then at this point, he looked back at the Attribute Panel.

Cultivation Level: Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation (39/100)

"The cultivation level increased by eleven points?

As expected, it’s worthy of being a Spirit Pill that can enhance the cultivation level for a Qi Refining Seventh Level Practitioner. The effect is so powerful!"

Zhou Changwang exclaimed.

Originally his cultivation level was Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation (28/100), now it’s (39/100), didn’t it increase by eleven points?

This is still due to the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp burning, clearing most of the medicinal power containing impurities and erysipelas; otherwise, his improvement would be even greater.

"Only two Jade Flower Pills are left."

Then, Zhou Changwang glanced at the Elixir Bottle, seeing the remaining two Jade Flower Pills.

He resisted the urge to swallow them at once to quickly improve his cultivation level.

He knew, excess swings toward defect.

Although there was no threat of erysipelas, the consequence of rapidly enhancing cultivation level is floating power, reducing one’s ability to control their Spiritual Power.

This would have a certain impact on his strength and could even result in scattered Spiritual Power, making it difficult to successfully cast Magic.

After all, Magic’s structure is drawn from Spiritual Power.

The more stable the Spiritual Power, the more stable the Magic structure, making it easier to cast smoothly.

If the Spiritual Power is floating and cannot hold in from dispersing, naturally, the Rune structure becomes loose and difficult to form.

Of course, the Magic cannot be formed.

Therefore, taking one every ten days, or seven days, is the most prudent method.

Due to frequent cultivation of Magic, Zhou Changwang had a very high degree of control over Spiritual Power and seldom experienced floating power, but he also decided to take one every five days, at most one every three days.

"It’s just a pity that only two Jade Flower Pills are left, and normal people simply can’t buy such high-quality Spirit Pills.

The major shops don’t sell them at all."

In the past few days, Zhou Changwang had familiarized himself with the environment in the Marketplace.

He had almost perused the major shops.

It’s clear that, like Jade Flower Pills, First Grade High Tier Spirit Pills are not sold by the Hexagonal Pavilion, Shuiyun Pavilion, Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, or even Celestial Treasure Tower.

Even if there were, they wouldn’t be sold to ordinary cultivators.

Because such Spirit Pills are in enormous demand.

The higher the grade of the Spirit Pills, the more so.

Many cultivators directly seek out the source of the Pills, directly reaching out to various Alchemy Masters, pre-ordering at relatively appropriate or even high prices.

Basically, as soon as the Alchemy Masters finish refining the Spirit Pills, they are divided cleanly and never reach the market...

Even for the First Grade High-Level Alchemists within the Shuiyun Pavilion, it’s the same.

They are not even enough for internal use, so if the demand is satisfied, any occasional surplus would only be reserved for familiar cultivators and certainly wouldn’t be sold to others.

"This is why Alchemists are the rarest and most respected profession in the Cultivation Realm.

A First Grade High-Level Alchemist can easily have three to five late-stage Qi Cultivation Practitioners escorting him.

And they never have to worry about their cultivation resources."

Zhou Changwang sighed, inevitably feeling a bit envious in his heart.

"Unfortunately, the Alchemy profession prioritizes Talent, requiring a relatively high understanding and control in Spirit Fire Control and pharmacology.

Also, the entry is challenging, and the initial investment is huge; one cannot grow relying solely on oneself.

Only the major factions have the financial resources to collect and cultivate resources."

Zhou Changwang had considered studying the Alchemy Technique before.

It’s just that the initial cost was indeed too high.

Take the simplest Qi Nourishing Pill, just the cost of combining four or five Spiritual Materials, which requires five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and in a successful furnace, at most three pills are refined, at a market price of one Lower-Grade Spirit Stone per pill.

Which means, refining a furnace would lose two Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

This doesn’t count the Pill Furnace, the cost of failures, and other expenses.

He simply couldn’t afford the loss before.

Only when an Alchemist reaches Tier One Middle Grade or above, able to refine Mid-Grade Spirit Pills, can they start profiting, attract connections and networking, with others actively providing materials for refining... Only then can they truly earn Spirit Stones.
