Alchemists

Tang Yin was shocked once he finished reading all that was available about the Qi Sea in the book. He did not think moving from the 9th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm to the 1st stage of the Physique Transformation Realm was so complicated and dangerous. This book had broadened his horizons by a large margin, and there was so much more information remaining, this left Tang Yin excited and eager.

After the Physique Transformation Realm was the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm. The Spirit Vein Condensation Realm did not have a big description like the Physique Transformation Realm, instead, it was short and brief.

According to the Basics of Cultivation, the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm was also split into 9 stages like the first 2 cultivation realms. Cultivators at the 9th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm would face another major bottleneck in their attempt to advance into the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm.

This bottleneck would appear when a cultivator tried to condense their first Spirit Vein to reach the 1st stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm. The more Spirit Veins a cultivator had condensed, the stronger they would be compared to others at the same stage as them.

This was all the information listed under the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm in the Basics of Cultivation book.

After the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm was the Qi Transformation Realm, the Qi Transformation Realm similarly consisted of 9 stages. The cultivators who tried to reach this realm would have to convert their Qi into Spirit Qi, the impediment they would face during this breakthrough would be way more lethal compared to the former few stages.

The last cultivation realm was the Spirit Ascension Realm, there was no description of what this realm entailed except for the fact that the realm was divided into Early, Mid, Late, and Peak stages. Only the name of the realm and its stages existed within the Basics of Cultivation.

Tang Yin's heart was in a mess, it took a lot of time before he could properly digest this information and came to realise the true reality of the cultivation world. There was so much more than he could have possibly imagined.

He wondered where this information came from, from the many rumours he had heard, the City Lord of Maple Leaf City, Mo Jian, was a cultivator in the 1st stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm.

This library had also been around since Maple Leaf City was constructed. From Tang Yin's deduction, he believed that all the information in this library had come from the knowledge of every generational City Lord that had ruled over the Mo family and Maple Leaf City.

Tang Yin believed that the Mo family was not generous enough to reveal the knowledge they had accumulated for generations to any cultivator for a few Spirit Stones. The true valuable knowledge was most likely kept safe in the core of the Mo family's personal library.

The Mo family's personal library was available only for the disciples of the Mo family, while the Maple Leaf Library was open to anyone who could afford to enter.

Since this was the case, then that would mean the books on the first floor of the library were only a fraction of the knowledge the Mo family possessed. 'Is this the true strength of the Mo family?' Tang Yin asked himself, he wondered when he would become strong enough to go face to face against a giant like the Mo family.

Tang Yin flipped to the third part of the Basics of Cultivation, this specific section of the book provided a detailed breakdown of Medicinal Pills. Tang Yin paid rapt attention to this section.

He still remembered the effects of the Spirit Adaption Pill he had taken in the Demonic Beast Mountain. This pill was one of the two main factors as to why he could break through to the 6th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm. It had left a deep impression on him; he was naturally curious about an item that could boost his strength in such an efficient manner.

According to the Basics of Cultivation, Medicinal Pills were concocted by certain cultivators known as Alchemists who had taken up the profession of Alchemy.

Alchemists used multiple types of herbs and a strange alchemy method to concoct Medicinal Pills. These pills all had a certain effect according to the recipe and herbs they were made from.

Alchemists had 9 tiers; a 9th Tier Alchemist was the most common while a 1st Tier Alchemist did not even exist within the True Martial World. Alchemists could only make the tier of Medicinal Pills within their own tier. A Tier 8 Alchemist would only be able to concoct Tier 8 and 9 Medicinal Pills. The higher the tier of a Medicinal pill, the higher the potency and corresponding effect the pill would have on a cultivator.
