Chapter 375: The three tribulations (1)
After the pill furnace was upgraded to the fourth grade, Chen jingzhai only needed to check the state of the separated life’s true fire and did not have to worry about putting in the medicinal herbs.
The tree-shaped true spirit would automatically add herbs. Even if the space of the pill furnace was empty, it would still store the herbs. The refined pills were sealed by Hong Fu and Liu Qingxue in ordinary bottles and then sealed with talismans.
For this reason, Hong Fu refined medicine bottles and Liu Qingxue drew talismans. In the past ten years, the two’s skills in refining weapons and talismans had improved.
In the past ten years, the number of cultivators in the eight desolate immortal market had reached five million. It was inevitable that there would be cultivators and demonic beasts from other domains, including those from the Dragon Gate domain, the kun mountain domain, and the yunyuan domain.
From then on, all the cultivators from the nine territories were included. However, out of the five million cultivators, more than half of them were from the pulao territory and the stellarsky territory. The cultivators from the other seven territories were still not considered a lot, and they only made up a small part of the total number.
As the moon Pavilion gradually monopolized the market for grade one to grade three pills with a terrifying number of pills and low prices, the moon Pavilion truly entered the eyes of the cultivators of the nine territories. In the fifth year, they rented a white jade building.
Even so, there were still pill stalls along the corridor, selling first and second grade pills. There were many kinds of pills, and if you wanted to buy treasure pills, you had to go to the White jade Tower.
In the eleventh year, Chen jingzhai began to refine fourth-grade true pills. Using the myriad origins returning pill Scripture, he successfully refined a primordial yang true pill for cultivation. One of these true pills was equivalent to a year of hard cultivation for a nascent soul cultivator. There were ordinary, flawless, and perfect quality, and the effects were all different.
An ordinary Yuanyang vital pill could be equivalent to a year of hard cultivation for a nascent soul cultivator, but the impurities of the pill had to be refined. The impurities of a flawless level Yuanyang vital pill could be ignored, and the pill was complete without any elixir poison. It could be used with ease, but it could not exceed 100.
Swallowing more than 100 flawless true pills in a row would cause the negligible impurities of the pills to pile up, which would bring a lot of trouble to Yuanying cultivators. There was no danger, but if more than 1000 pills were taken, it might hinder their cultivation.
The perfect-grade Yuanyang true pill was also a pill that Chen jingzhai was familiar with. This kind of pill had a perfect combination of medicinal properties. One pill was equivalent to ten years of cultivation. It was truly perfect, without any elixir poison or impurities, and there was no limit to how much it could be taken.
However, this was only a one-patterned pill. There were nine patterns on a pill. According to the legends, the truly perfect pill was a nine-patterned pill. Each one of them had an incredible fortune, and had already broken through the medicinal properties of the pill itself. This was also what all alchemists wanted to refine.
Even with the ability of the returning to origin elixir Scripture, Chen jingzhai could only produce three perfect-grade elixirs in one batch, and they were all one-vein ones. There were seven flawless-grade elixirs, and the rest were all normal-grade origin yang true elixirs.
Even so, there would always be more than 20 pills in a cauldron, which would make many alchemists feel ashamed. Although Chen jingzhai was not a nascent soul, the quality of his dharmic power was high and his spiritual will had already surpassed that of a nascent soul. In addition, the alchemy Scripture was special and he used a grade four cauldron to take a shortcut. His success rate had already surpassed most grade four alchemists.
However, Chen jingzhai could only make this one Grade 4 elixir. He couldn’t make any other elixir. After all, he hadn’t formed his nascent soul and couldn’t use his nascent soul’s power to control the true spirit of a Grade 4 elixir furnace to make elixir. This was the secret of Grade 4 in the returning to origin elixir manual.
Even so, he wasn’t discouraged. He continued to concoct the vital yang vital pills every day. Among them, the perfect-grade vital yang vital pills were consumed by Ji Shuanghua and tu Ruoyan, who had just come out of her closed-door cultivation. The cultivation of the two girls improved steadily. In three years, tu Ruoyan had even advanced to the mid-nascent Soul Stage.
The vital yang pill was suitable for nascent souls of any cultivation technique. It was best for those at the beginner stage of the nascent Soul Stage. Although tu Ruoyan had the body of a Demon King, the vital yang pill was also beneficial to her. She had not taken it again after breaking through to the intermediate stage of the nascent Soul Stage.
Su qingluan hadn’t come out of seclusion for more than ten years. The star soul immortal Sutra had greatly affected her, and the later she came out, the more beneficial it would be. So, as long as Chen jingzhai sensed that she was fine, he would be happy to see her in seclusion.
After five years of refining primordial yang pills, he had accumulated 46000 ordinary primordial yang pills, 2300 flawless-grade primordial yang pills, and 500 perfect-grade primordial yang pills. Ji Shuanghua and tu Ruoyan consumed the other half of the perfect-grade pills.
This was especially true for Ji Shuanghua. She was already at the peak of the early-stage nascent soul realm and could break through to the mid-stage nascent soul realm at any time. It was all due to the accumulation of more than 300 perfect-grade elixirs. Fortunately, the immortal Sutra that she cultivated allowed her to quickly refine elixirs. Otherwise, it would not have been so smooth. Even so, it was inevitable that some of the medicinal power would be wasted if she were to take them continuously.
The reason why she was working so hard to improve her cultivation was because she felt the pressure. Since the full moon Tower started selling Yuan yang true pills five years ago, the attitude of the 11th peak of the allheaven immortal sect was very obvious. They wanted to take over the full moon Tower, or they were not allowed to sell any pills.
Because the sect’s alchemists were all under the jurisdiction of the eleventh peak, the original intention of the full moon Pavilion was to share the production of the sect’s middle and low-grade elixirs. Coupled with the ninth branch’s plan, the west side courtyard was established and the full moon Pavilion sold elixirs wantonly.
But now, they were in a situation where they couldn’t get away with it. The pills of the moon Pavilion were cheap and of good quality. Not only in the eight desolation immortal market, but they were also very popular in the sect. The moon Pavilion even cooperated with the ninth Meridian to sell the pills outside the sect.
In this way, the pills of moon Pavilion had greatly occupied the market and had really touched the interests of the eleventh peak. The west side courtyard was still fine, but moon Pavilion had attracted a lot of attention. Therefore, the eleventh peak had begun to secretly exert pressure.
