Chapter 77 Cold Dragon Pill (Please read on, please vote!)
Bazhenzhai.
Gu Zhengshun arrived as promised and met Wang Yu in this private room. The demon core of the second-tier ice-attribute python-type demon beast that he wanted was already in place, along with three thousand spirit stones.
Gu Zhengshun said with a smile, "This is the Ice Python Demon Core that I asked my master to exchange for from the sect's second-tier treasure vault. Please check it."
He took the blue, icy demon core. Inside, there was a small snake-like phantom, which was a trace of the demon core's owner's essence, proving its origin and proving that it could not be faked.
The Cold Dragon Pill is only a first-tier pill, but it requires second-tier materials, which shows its special nature. If he can successfully condense the [Seed of Cold Flame] in his dantian, this method will be enough to accompany him until he reaches the Core Formation stage!
It is a rare growth-type technique, but he felt that it could be classified as a [treasure technique], as it had a feeling of borrowing the power of a demonic beast.
Wang Yu put it down with satisfaction. The two main ingredients, the Ice Python Demon Core and the Yin Marrow Liquid, were both ready. The rest were all first-tier spiritual herbs, which were all very common.
"The item is fine. This is the remains of that Foundation Establishment cultivator. After the soul was scattered, it was very suitable to be refined into an armored corpse, at the very least an iron-armored corpse."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhengshun did not seem to mind the corpse's grotesque appearance; instead, he began to caress it with obvious affection, a perverted act that sent chills down one's spine.
"Alright, deal done."
After both of them put their things away, Wang Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Gu, could you do me a favor and find out some information about the Ice and Snow Pavilion over the past five years?"
"oh?"
Gu Zhengshun rubbed his fingers together.
"This is a simple matter; I can find out the truth in a month at most. But why should I help you?"
Wang Yu took out a storage bag filled with spoils of war that he was preparing to sell, and tossed it directly to Gu Zhengshun.
"Brother Gu holds a high position on Heavenly Corpse Peak, so you must have joined the ranks of some true disciple. You happen to have a channel to handle these matters. No matter how much you can sell, just give me eight thousand spirit stones."
The implication was that the extra amount would be considered as payment for intelligence gathering. According to Wang Yu's estimate, although these items were secondhand, their total value was still over ten thousand spirit stones.
Gu Zhengshun was a discerning person; after hearing what he said, he immediately agreed.
"That's good. I didn't expect Junior Brother Wang to have so many spoils of war. It seems that the trip to Xuan Gu Mountain was quite fruitful."
Wang Yu smiled, and everyone understood without saying a word.
"I also have a batch of Mystic Essence Flowers here. Brother Gu, would you be interested?"
Come on~
"Tell me more about it."
Seeing the drinks offered to them, the two chatted amicably for a long time until dusk before parting ways.
He entrusted all matters to Gu Zhengshun. He currently has over 36,000 spirit stones, which is definitely considered wealthy among Qi Refining disciples.
With another four thousand, he could have used the Ice and Snow Pavilion's channels to exchange for a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. This was Zhao Shang's wish, and he was about to achieve it. It was truly a twist of fate.
But he killed so many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, which is equivalent to robbing others of their accumulated wealth. It was only because he was ambitious about Foundation Establishment that he accumulated such a large sum of money.
Unfortunately, the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is too ineffective on those with damaged spiritual roots.
If you really want to prepare for a breakthrough, you have to start with the secret arts of demonic cultivation.
Over the next month, while waiting for news from Gu Zhengshun, he also waited for the [Frosty Dragon Pill] in his inventory to be completed, with a large amount of refining experience flooding into his mind every day.
When combined with alchemy, which shares the same origin, the efficiency is extremely high!
In addition to completing his daily cultivation practice, he also took the time to visit the alchemist society he had established. However, the situation was different now. In just five years, it had gathered a large number of low-level alchemists.
The number of people has surged from four to over a hundred, and the leader is Zhou Tao, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Compared with the time when Wang Yu was in charge, his money-making ability has reached a new peak, and he has truly stepped into the limelight.
It is more famous than the pill shops opened by ordinary Foundation Establishment alchemists.
This situation quickly dispelled Wang Yu's desire to reminisce, even though this wasn't the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, such thoughts of showing off were unacceptable.
Moreover, the sect's pill business has long been monopolized, and only those with the necessary certification from the Alchemy Hall can operate in related industries.
Wang Yu was able to discover this not only because the prices of pills were standardized, but also because he found that low-level alchemists were all working for pill shops and only earning a service fee.
Instead of setting up a stall to sell their own cheap pills at a lower price.
Zhou Tao's behavior of stepping into the spotlight is definitely a sign of arrogance; she probably thinks that with Su Zhenchuan protecting her, nothing will happen.
He expanded his business from Hanxuefang to the surrounding areas, making more and more money. He was blinded by spirit stones and couldn't stop.
Such rampant enrichment will inevitably lead to certain death if it crosses the line.
Of the original four members of the alchemist society, Wang Yu withdrew when he went to Xuan Gu Mountain, and the taciturn Huang Kai also left. Only Luo Pinghu remained to serve Zhou Tao.
After learning the situation, Wang Yu could only sigh.
If things continue at this pace, we might not even make it through the year.
If he were ruthless enough to use this opportunity to hand another golden key to Zhuo Shouqing of the Enforcement Hall, he might have gained even more. However, after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea.
After all, they were colleagues, and only Huang Kai had the potential to be taken advantage of.
Let's skip this matter.
…………
…………
It was May of the 8th year of my time as an outer disciple, exactly one month since I returned to the sect.
On this day, magpies chirped at the door.
[Placement slot 4: Frost Dragon Pill (Perfect)]
"Cold Dragon Pill (100/100): Thirty-six refinings a day, takes thirty years to complete."
The completion of the elixir formula signifies that Wang Yu's familiarity with the elixir has reached a level of consummate skill.
Previously, the placement bar was for refining twenty-four times a day, which meant that there was another version of him refining twenty-four batches of "Frost Dragon Pills" every day in an unknown place. All of these experiences and skills were completely inherited by him.
Four months is equivalent to refining 2,880 batches.
This kind of experience is beyond description; it's more like a divine touch. Few people have such experience to draw upon.
Wang Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, deliberately spent some of the contribution points from the Xuan Gu Mountain mission.
In the alchemy hall of [Zhu Dian Fang], he rented a fire chamber. To be honest, even as a top-grade first-level alchemist, he didn't have a suitable alchemy furnace.
This is also the norm for most first-tier alchemists.
The practice of fire refining requires a fire source. Before learning the Flame Breathing Method, one can only use earth fire to refine pills, which requires a specific location, so the pill furnace is used temporarily.
Once he refines the "Frosty Dragon Pill" and condenses the Frosty Flame Seed, he can consider carrying a pill furnace with him.
At this time, the focus shifted to alchemy.
Washing the medicine, cleansing the spirit... using the power of earth fire to remove the unwanted medicinal properties from the elixir formula, this part is the so-called impurities, leaving only the part that is needed.
Wang Yu's technique was skillful and his timing was perfect; every time he added medicine or refined it, it was almost flawless.
After refinement comes fusion!
His fire control technique was also quite remarkable. The medicinal properties were successfully integrated without any waste. With the help of various [Condensation Seals], the refining process quickly entered the pill-forming stage.
