Chapter 25 Elixir Pill Strategy
"Supreme Grade Cold Blood Pills are not available. The Sect Treasury releases a few bottles every year, and they can only be exchanged with Contribution Points. Last year, I think the price was around one thousand."
Wang Yu frowned deeply.
"A bottle?"
Normal Elixir Pills are mostly sold by the bottle, nine pills per bottle. Only Elixir Pills with special effects are sold individually, such as Foundation Establishment Pill and Golden Core Formation, which are breakthrough-type Elixir Pills.
There are also some for dispelling illusions, increasing Divine Sense, cultivating special Arts… and so on.
Hearing what Wang Yu said, the person couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"One pill!
"Cold Blood Pills are not ordinary Spirit Pills for increasing Cultivation Level. Their Effect can last for a whole year. Depending on the Grade, the benefits are also different.
"Low Grade and Mid Grade levels can probably increase ten to twenty units of Spirit Power. After taking five pills, they will completely lose their Effect.
"High Grade level can increase about forty units of Spirit Power. It takes a lot of time to refine. Around nine pills will cause a Pill Barrier.
"Supreme Grade Cold Blood Pills can increase eighty to one hundred units of Spirit Power. A Mid Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator needs to meditate for a year to completely digest it. It must be used with Fasting Pills. Twelve pills will cause a Pill Barrier."
The so-called Pill Barrier is often misunderstood as Pill poison.
But this is not the case. Elixir Pills are essentially the Essence of Heaven and Earth gathered together and produced through exquisite Pill Refining Art. Where does the toxicity come from?
If the body takes too much, it will develop a certain drug resistance, hence it is called [Pill Barrier].
It is the restriction imposed by Heaven and Earth on the Way of Pills, otherwise everyone could take pills and ascend, losing the true meaning of Cultivation.
Cold Blood Pills have outstanding Effects and are tailor-made for Cultivators who practice the Cold Blood Technique. Their price is quite expensive among first-order Elixir Pills.
After a little calculation, he found that it was still more cost-effective to refine them himself.
So he asked again.
"Will taking Low Grade and Mid Grade Cold Blood Pills first affect the subsequent Effect of taking High Grade Cold Blood Pills?"
"Naturally, it will. After all, they are the same kind of Elixir Pill, and the Medicinal Properties are the same. If possible, it's best to take High Grade directly. If you have connections, you can also ask at the Sect Treasury."
After understanding the situation, Wang Yu bought three kinds of auxiliary herbs, and the loose Spirit Stones on him were completely spent, leaving only two hundred Contribution Points.
In fact, it would be best for him to buy a High Grade Cold Blood Pill to take first. Firstly, the Placement Slot for Pill Refining Art takes time, and a Cold Blood Pill needs a year to refine, which coincides perfectly.
It can fill Wang Yu's blank period, so that he is not without any progress.
Moreover, forty units of Spirit Power can greatly improve his Cultivation Level. Combined with the Placement Slot, it is estimated that it can be reduced to within three years.
This speed is completely acceptable.
"Five hundred Spirit Stones…"
Harboring the obsession to make money, Wang Yu was planning his grand scheme. Since he was going to take the path of an Alchemist, Pill Refining Elixir Pills was the most suitable way to make money.
The Perfection of Cold Blood Pill only takes half a year, so he will definitely wait until the Pill Refining Art also reaches Perfection before truly starting. Therefore, Placement Slot number three has a six-month window period, which can be freed up for use first.
"Fasting Pill, Spirit Replenishing Pill, Yin Food Pill, Flesh Generating Pill."
Mentally counting the more popular first-order Elixir Pills, Wang Yu prepared to go to the Pill Refining Hall again. The Pill Formulas for these Elixir Pills are all priced very low, after all, they are all common Pill Formulas, and many people know them.
While walking in the Evil God District, suddenly someone stopped him.
"Wang Yu?"
Having had previous encounters, Wang Yu instantly became vigilant.
"Who is this Your Excellency?"
"You should have heard of me, Su Qing Shan."
His appearance was unremarkable, his skin slightly dark, but his eyes were very sharp, with a sharp edge revealing itself. The whole person appeared confident and high-spirited, enough to make people ignore his ordinary appearance.
"So it is Brother Su in person, I am truly sorry for my poor eyesight."
"I am ashamed, I wonder if you would do me the honor of having a drink with me?"
...
...
Eight Treasures Restaurant.
A Spirit Food shop opened in the Evil God District, said to be the private property of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. The Spirit Food has good Effects, but the price is slightly expensive.
At this moment, however, twelve dishes were served, piled high, with delicacies from land and sea, fine wine and delicious food, which really made Wang Yu feel overwhelmed by favor.
After all, the latter was a genius who became famous in the Outer Sect competition of the previous session. After joining a True Disciple, he had already broken through to the Late Qi Condensation Stage.
The path he takes is different from the path of Disciple promotion.
Su Qing Shan initially aimed for the position of Steward. Regardless of whether they are Outer Sect or Inner Sect Disciples, as long as they break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can serve as Stewards in the Sect, and be granted a private property by the Sect, or be allocated land and houses, and decide for themselves what to do.
This is mostly the choice of Cultivators without Backing, but anyone with some connections will aim for the position of True Disciple. After all, the resources that a Nascent Soul Seed can obtain are far from what a Steward can compare to.
If Wang Yu wants to develop in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect in the long term, he can only take this path.
Raising his cup, they drank together.
"I wonder how Brother Su found Wang, and what is the matter?"
Su Qing Shan smiled.
"Your white hair is really eye-catching among the Disciples. It's hard not to see you. As for looking for you, it's nothing more than inviting you to something. Are you interested?"
Wang Yu showed a look of sudden realization. Next time he goes out, he will prepare to wear a hooded black robe: "Please speak freely."
Picking up a bite of the watery Spirit Bamboo Sprout, Su Qing Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "How about dealing with Zhao Shang?"
Wang Yu's heart stirred. It seemed that this person had also been exploited by Zhao Shang, but his face remained calm, even a little bitter.
"Brother Su is joking. Wang is just Early-stage Qi Condensation, how can he deal with Zhao Shang."
"Naturally, I will take action. I heard that your [Essence Qi Chamber] in the Ice and Snow Tower was taken away by him and brazenly sold to others. Aren't you angry?"
"Angry, so what?" Wang Yu tasted a Spirit Food cooked in the style of braised pork, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a few more pieces.
With Su Qing Shan's strength, he could defeat a Qi Condensation Eighth Layer at Qi Condensation Sixth Layer. Now that he has broken through to the Late Qi Condensation Stage, he indeed has a great chance of dealing with Zhao Shang.
After Wang Yu ate a few more mouthfuls, Su Qing Shan opened his mouth and said.
"You have a good relationship with True Lineage Su. If you pretend to go to Cold Blood Peak, Zhao Shang will definitely be anxious. If he chases after you…"
Su Qing Shan took the opportunity to make a throat-slitting gesture, revealing his killing intent.
Don't look down on this crude plan, but it is very practical.
The success rate is still very high, but Wang Yu asked in return.
"Brother Su was valued by the True Disciple during the Outer Sect competition, and is also proficient in combat techniques. Your relationship should be closer than Wang's. Why not go to him?"
Su Qing Shan's movement of pouring wine paused, and he squinted his eyes.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. Recently, among the ten True Disciples of Cold Blood Peak, one has stood out and is about to break through to Core Formation. How can the True Disciple have time to care about people like us?"
Drinking a mouthful of Spirit Fish Soup, Wang Yu nodded.
"Yes, that's why Zhao Shang is unscrupulous and exploitative by nature.
"True Disciples stand too high, they are not as deterrent as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Ice and Snow Tower."
"Then what does Brother Wang mean——"
"I'm sorry."
Wang Yu got up and cupped his hands.
"It's not that Wang is unwilling, but that his Cultivation Level is too low. If he can break through to Mid Qi Condensation Stage and have a bit of self-protection, this matter can be done.
"But now I am only Qi Condensation Third Layer, Zhao Shang can kill me easily. The risk is too great, please forgive me, Brother Su."
"Since that's the case, Su will not force it. Eat, eat!"
