Chapter 25 Pill Strategy
"We don't have any top-grade Cold Blood Pills. A few bottles will be released from the sect's treasury every year, and they can only be exchanged with contribution points. Last year, I think they were priced at around 1,000."
Wang Yu frowned.
"One bottle?"
Normally, pills are sold in bottles, with nine pills per bottle. Only pills with special effects are sold individually, such as Foundation Establishment Pills and Golden Core Pills, which are pills that help break through cultivation realms.
There are also those who dispel illusions, enhance spiritual awareness, cultivate special techniques, and so on.
Upon hearing what Wang Yu said, the man couldn't help but roll his eyes.
One!
"The Cold Blood Pill is not an ordinary elixir for increasing cultivation. Its effects can last for a whole year, and the benefits vary depending on its grade."
"The low-grade and mid-grade pills can increase spiritual power by about 10 to 20 times, but the effect will completely disappear after taking five pills."
"A high-grade pill can increase spiritual power by about forty strands, but it requires a lot of time to refine. After about nine pills, a pill barrier will form."
"The top-grade Cold Blood Pill can increase spiritual power by eighty to one hundred. It takes a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator a year of meditation to fully digest it. It must be used in conjunction with the Bigu Pill. It takes twelve pills to generate a pill barrier."
The term "danzhang" is often mistakenly referred to as "erysipelas".
That's not the case. Elixirs are made by gathering the essence of heaven and earth and refining them through exquisite alchemy. Where would they come from?
Excessive use can lead to drug resistance, hence the term "Dan Zhang" (丹障).
It is the restriction that Heaven and Earth have placed on the Dao of Alchemy; otherwise, everyone could ascend to immortality by taking elixirs, thus losing the true essence of cultivation.
The Cold Blood Pill has excellent effects and is tailor-made for cultivators practicing the Cold Blood Technique. Its price is quite expensive among first-tier pills.
After doing some calculations, I found that it's more cost-effective to refine it myself.
Then he asked again.
Will taking a low-grade or mid-grade Cold Blood Pill first affect the effect of taking a high-grade Cold Blood Pill later?
"Of course, since they are the same type of pills with the same medicinal properties. If possible, it is best to take the superior grade directly. If you have connections, you can also ask at the treasure vault."
After learning about the situation, Wang Yu bought three kinds of auxiliary medicines, spending all the spare spirit stones he had, leaving him with only two hundred contribution points.
Actually, it would be best for him to buy a top-grade Cold Blood Pill first. Firstly, alchemy requires time to refine, and a Cold Blood Pill needs to be refined for a year, which fits perfectly.
This can fill the gap in Wang Yu's career and prevent him from making no progress at all.
Furthermore, the forty streams of spiritual energy can significantly enhance his cultivation level. Combined with the placement bar, it's estimated that the timeframe can be reduced to within three years.
This speed is perfectly acceptable.
"Five hundred spirit stones..."
Driven by a burning desire to make money, Wang Yu is plotting his grand scheme. Since he's going to pursue the path of an alchemist, refining pills is the most suitable way to make money.
It only takes half a year to perfect the Cold Blood Pill. You can only truly get started after you have perfected the alchemy technique. Therefore, there is a six-month gap in column number three, which can be used first.
"Bigu Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Yin Food Pill, Muscle Regeneration Pill."
After mentally listing the more popular pills among the first-tier pills, Wang Yu prepared to go to the alchemy hall again. These kinds of pill formulas were very inexpensive, since they were common formulas and many people knew how to make them.
As he was walking through the Evil God's Abode, someone suddenly stopped him.
"Wang Yu?"
Having experienced something similar before, Wang Yu immediately became more vigilant.
Who are you?
"You should have heard of me, Su Qingshan."
He has an unremarkable appearance, slightly dark skin, but his eyes are very sharp and piercing, giving him a confident and high-spirited air that makes people overlook his ordinary appearance.
"It's actually Brother Su in person! My apologies for not recognizing you in person."
"I'm ashamed to say, but would you do me the honor of sharing a drink with me?"

Bazhenzhai.
The evil god's workshop runs a spiritual food shop, which is said to be the private property of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The spiritual food is highly effective, but the price is slightly expensive.
At this moment, a full twelve dishes were served, including delicacies from land and sea, fine wine and delicacies, which truly flattered Wang Yu.
After all, the latter was a genius who became famous in the previous outer sect competition. After joining the true disciples, he had already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.
The path he took was different from the path of disciples' advancement.
From the very beginning, the assistants aimed for the position of steward. Regardless of whether they were outer or inner disciples, as long as they broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, they could serve as stewards within the sect and be granted a piece of private property, or be allocated land or houses, and decide what to do themselves.
Most of them are cultivators without a background who choose this path. Anyone with even a little connection will try to get a position as a true disciple, since the resources that a Nascent Soul Seed can obtain are far greater than those of a mere steward.
If Wang Yu wants to develop in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect in the long term, this is the only way.
Let's raise our glasses and drink together.
"I wonder how Brother Su found me, and what his purpose is."
Su Qingshan smiled.
"Your white hair is quite conspicuous among these disciples; it's hard not to notice you. As for seeking you out, it's simply because I have something to ask you. Are you interested?"
Wang Yu looked enlightened and decided to wear a black robe with a hood next time he went out: "Speak freely."
Picking up a bite of the fresh, tender bamboo shoot, Su Qingshan raised an eyebrow and asked, "How about dealing with Zhao Shang?"
Wang Yu's heart stirred. It seemed that this person had also been exploited by Zhao Shang, but he remained expressionless, even showing some bitterness.
"Brother Su is joking. I am only at the early stage of Qi Refining. How could I possibly deal with Zhao Shang?"
"Naturally, I'll take action. I heard that he took your [Essence Chamber] from the Ice and Snow Pavilion and brazenly sold it to someone else. Aren't you angry?"
"So what if I'm angry?" Wang Yu tasted the spiritual food made with braised pork, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a few more pieces.
With Su Qingshan's strength, he was able to defeat an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator while only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Now that he has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, he certainly has a great chance of dealing with Zhao Shang.
After Wang Yu had eaten a few more bites, Su Qingshan finally spoke.
“You have a good relationship with Su Zhenchuan. If you pretend to go to Cold Blood Peak, Zhao Shang will definitely be anxious. If he comes after you…”
Su Qingshan then made a throat-slitting gesture, his murderous intent fully revealed.
Don't let the simplicity of this plan fool you; it's very practical.
"The success rate is still quite high," Wang Yu countered.
"Brother Su was highly regarded by the True Disciple in the Outer Sect Competition, and he is also skilled in combat techniques. His relationship with the Master must be closer than with me. Why don't you go and seek him out?"
Su Qingshan paused in pouring the wine, then squinted and said.
"It's not that we don't want to, but that we can't. Recently, one of the ten true disciples of Cold Blood Peak has stood out and is about to break through to the Core Formation stage. How could the true disciple's thoughts be on us?"
After taking a sip of the spirit fish soup, Wang Yu nodded.
"Yes, that's why Zhao Shang is so emboldened and exploitative."
"The true disciples stand too high; they are not as intimidating as the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ice and Snow Pavilion."
"So, Brother Wang means—"
"Feel sorry."
Wang Yu stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but my cultivation level is too low. If I could break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, I would have some self-protection ability, and then I could do this."
"I am only at the third level of Qi Refining now. Zhao Shang could kill me with a flick of his wrist. The risk is too great. Brother Su, please understand."
"In that case, I won't insist. Please eat!"
