Chapter 179 Supreme Grade Ice Spirit Pill (Alliance Leader Bonus Chapter)
Dragon Veins are born hidden and can ignore all types of Searching Secret Methods in the world. One can only rely on terrain and knowledge of Feng Shui and Qimen Dunjia to determine whether a place has a Dragon Vein.
Thus, one can only roughly encircle the area. If one truly wants to see it, they must go underground inch by inch to search. Legend has it that everyone who sees a Dragon Vein can obtain a Great Opportunity.
However, beneath Guiling City, there are only ordinary Earth Veins and multiple Spirit Veins. The strongest one is only a Third Rank Middle Grade Spirit Vein. Wang Yu has cultivated the Purple Dragon Earth Travel Art.
It can be considered a variant of the Earth Escape Technique. Even if he only occasionally comprehended the basics, it is enough for him to use it here.
The arrangement around the Spirit Vein comes from an expert of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect.
Not only is it highly concealed, but it also possesses extremely strong protective capabilities. It can even activate the Spirit Vein at critical moments, allowing it to possess the ability to cope with any danger.
These are all crystallizations of the wisdom of predecessors!
Wang Yu led Xue Yu, his four disciples, and a large group of miners from the side hall near the First-Level Warehouse, taking a secret passage down to the Underground.
This is a crisscrossing and dark Cave environment. The walls have been repeatedly scraped, like a string of beads that has been handled for decades, reflecting light.
With a wave of his hand, all the Eternal Lamps were lit.
"Let's go, everyone keep up."
Inside the Cave, there are also bats raised and controlled by Corpse Beetles. They do not eat or drink, and use their talent to monitor all sounds within the Cave, which is also a means to prevent intruders.
After proceeding for less than half of a Two-Hour Period, they arrived at their destination.
Before them was an Underground Plaza of considerable age. Around it were many Stone Houses like buildings, embedded in the walls, covered in a lot of dust.
These were all built by predecessors. Wang Yu only needs to use them. After consuming a slight amount of Divine Sense Power to use the Mountain Sweeping Demon Finding Secret Technique to check and confirm there were no problems.
"Guan Yingdong, Guan Yingxue, Jiang Li, Jiang Chuan, the four of you stay here to be responsible for the Supervision of the miners. Daily food and drink will be delivered to the Channel Entrance. This place is entrusted to you."
"Yes, Master."
After giving instructions, Wang Yu continued forward with Xue Yu.
Before long.
A piece of deep blue light illuminated a Small Cave ahead, as tall as a person, with a hazy halo. He walked forward.
It was as if a brilliant starry sky appeared before their eyes. The whole body resembled a light blue transparent river, both liquid and gaseous, with countless flickering light spots resident within.
The surroundings also had vortex-like changes, as magnificent and colorful as the starry sky, carrying the incredible miracle of Nature's Work.
This—is the Spirit Vein!
Legend has it that regardless of Quality, any kind of Spirit Vein or Earth Vein has an extremely small probability of giving birth to sentience. This Essence of Heaven and Earth gains sentience, as if it were the master of Spiritual Qi.
Upon birth, it possesses power comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator. If one can devour and Refine it, even an Immortal can obtain great benefits. It is a top-level Nature's Work.
The most recent record of this is still from the Ancient Era, when a Blood Demon broke through the Sky and descended into this world.
The Ancient Sect and Immortals from the lower realm joined forces to resist, but were no match! The Immortals searched exhaustively for Spirit Objects in the world, obtained a Spirit of Fire Vein, swallowed it, burned away the sea of blood, and sealed the Demon—[Blood] in the Abyss.
This is also the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect's sacred Cultivation ground, the Blood Abyss!
The Demons that Wang Yu currently knows of total three: [Life], [Desire], [Blood]... And the source of the Demonic Path in this world is spread by these nearly immortal and indestructible Demons.
The Heavenly Cold Yin Blood Art he currently cultivates is not actually considered an orthodox Demonic Path Cultivation Method. He is merely situated in the Demonic Path.
Orthodox Demonic Art must absorb "Demonic Qi" for Cultivation, and this thing is not only Rare in the world, but also has a Nascent Soul Threshold. By the standards of these Demonic Arts, these Demon Spawn are practicing degraded versions.
Now, in the Demonic Path Inheritance, one can more or less find corresponding sealed Demons.
Of course, the matter of transmitting methods is not actively spread by those Demons.
Rather, it is an imitation of the other party's power coveted by living beings. These pieces of Secret Information render this world even more Mysterious.
Based on Wang Yu's authority in the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, the Secrets and Ancient History he knows are only outlines of stories of a few dozen words. It can be imagined that when he becomes a Core Formation Elder, he will be qualified to know more.
Returning to the main topic.
With the brilliant Spirit Vein as the center, the surrounding Natural Spirit Qi is unbelievably Dense. Its natural precipitation and condensation on stones will form Spirit Stones.
Spirit Stone veins are like this. Within a certain Range, they will continuously breed and appear. Miners do not need to see the Spirit Vein.
Predecessors once set up small Formations around to attract Spiritual Qi to gather, thus forming fixed mining locations.
Actually.
There are three simple methods for the production of Spirit Stones.
In addition to Cultivators consuming Cultivation Level to condense them and Spirit Veins being born with them... there is also a method of using Giant Spirit Gathering Formations to mass-produce Low Grade and Mid-Grade Spirit Stones artificially.
This method was also developed in the Taihu Spirit Domain Region, imitating the Properties of Spirit Veins to create them.
The Demonic Path side has also learned it. This type of Formation for producing Spirit Stones has certain side effects.
Because the Spiritual Qi absorbed is forcibly taken by the Formation, Cultivators staying here cannot absorb the gathered Natural Spirit Qi at all.
Therefore, this "money printing machine"-like arrangement is placed in Vast and Sparsely Populated Remote Regions. Only Cultivators are stationed outside, and Cultivation is completely impossible inside the Formation.
The side effect of Giant Spirit Gathering Formations is that they cause certain damage to Heaven and Earth.
The Yellow Springs Temple, one of the Demonic Path overlords, their Front of Mountain Gate is one of the largest Desert Terrains in this world—the Deathly Still Desert!
It is said that this place used to be a beautiful place with green mountains and clear waters, full of Spiritual Qi. As a result, the Yellow Springs Temple set up 30,000 Giant Spirit Gathering Formations, drawing Spiritual Qi for a full ten thousand years to condense Spirit Stones.
Then it Became like it is Now, a desolate desert that can be called a Forbidden Ground for living beings.
From the beginning of their sect's founding, they forcibly absorbed for ten thousand years. Although Spiritual Qi still exists within the Deathly Still Desert, there are no Spirit Veins underground, and even the Earth Veins have become sand.
Forming various natural disasters, enough to threaten Core Formation Cultivators, there is a trend towards developing into the Endless Ice Plains.
This change is caused by accumulation over time. The omen is very obvious. Other overlord Factions of the Demonic Path have stopped and moved this type of "Spirit Stone printing machine" to the Chaotic Ancient Sea.
Only the Yellow Springs Temple has not stopped. Perhaps they are deliberately creating such a Forbidden Ground for living beings, who knows?
......
......
In the scene, Person Wang found a suitable Slot and commanded, "Xue Yu, open up a Cave Dwelling Beside the Spirit Vein."
"Woo—"
"Hurry up, I'll help you refine Medicinal Pills later. Supreme Grade Snow Fox Pill, Jade Nourishing Pill, Fox Fragrance Pill, everything you could want."
"Uhm~ (●°u°●)"
The snow-white fox, with a divine and handsome appearance, which can also serve as a mount, extended its paw-like front feet and swiped a few times to open up a regular and simple Cave Dwelling.
There was no need to make a gate. After Wang Yu went in and prepared for half a day, he officially started Pill Refining.
Second Stage Cold Flame Combined with Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art can have a powerful Effect of nearly 50% Increased on Ice Attribute Medicinal Pills. This point is also common to Xue Yu's Pills.
The person who created this Alchemy Art must also be a strong person who primarily cultivates the Ice Dao.
Cultivation type Medicinal Pills have always been relatively difficult to digest. One Pill can last for several years, and the Effect of Increased Cultivation Level is also excellent.
The digestion time of an Ice Spirit Pill is three years per Pill. Top-Grade rank only takes two years to Perfect Refine, increasing True Essence by about 100 drops.
High-Grade Ice Spirit Pills sell for nearly 40,000 Spirit Stones. The output is low, and the Increased True Essence is around 50 drops. This price is not expensive, only eighty times that of the Qi Condensation Stage.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators are wealthy, and their ability to make money is greatly Increased. It is equivalent to the premium of a High-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and buying two of them can allow one to Breakthrough to the Second Layer Foundation Establishment Stage within a few years.
Breaking Away from the weak state of newly entering the realm is definitely not a loss.
The problem is that the goods are very few. Even if there are some for sale, they are mostly sold at a premium. They are truly invaluable treasures, and there are even fewer on the Demonic Path side. Only places like Frigid Blood Peak have reserves.
Normal Five Elements Attributes Cultivation Pills are indeed cheaper, and the output is correspondingly Increased.
After all, wind, ice, thunder, yin... and other Attributes are all within the range of Unusual Spirit Roots, and are ultimately minority groups.
Wang Yu relied on his Second Rank Perfection Alchemy Technique, and with the assistance of Cold Flame, his Pill Refining of Ice-series Spirit Pills was as if divinely aided. Not only was the difficulty greatly reduced, but he could also further Activate the Medicinal Effect of the Medicinal Pills.
Highlighting extravagance, if there are no accidents, the next period of time will be his rapid Cultivation Level Increased Stage, and it will only slow down when he reaches the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
After all, by that time, the accumulation of True Essence alone will be an astronomical figure, not to mention the Essence Condensing Checkpoint.
After calming his mind and Qi, Wang Yu started the Pill Furnace as usual.
Don't look at the Storage Slot where dozens of Pill Refinings can be done in a day. In the real world, the speed at which he refines a furnace of Medicinal Pills is very slow.
He cannot achieve the bizarre mode of the Storage Slot, which is always in its most flourishing state, tireless, and never resting.
Extraction, fusion, Pill Condensing, Pill Nurturing—four steps!
Extraction and fusion alone take several days. These are still the most Foundation and simplest steps. When Pill Condensing begins, that is the most Divine Sense consuming time.
Various Pill Condensing Seals are used in rotation, and one must also constantly pay attention to the temperature and concentration of the Cold Flame. This step is very short, and the success or failure of a furnace of Pills depends entirely on the operation of this step.
And it is very Divine Sense consuming. When it comes to the last step, Pill Nurturing, it is relatively easy, reaching the finishing Stage of Pill Refining. Those with profound Skill can even take a nap.
Wang Yu cannot. He still has to watch the Cold Flame.
The essence and Profound Mystery of Cold Dragon Pill Refinement Art lies in this last step, Pill Nurturing. Whether or not Cold Flame Power can be used to greatly Increased the Medicinal Pills depends on Pill Nurturing.
The word "nurturing" is extraordinarily wondrous.
The Fire Alchemy Method technique is fierce, and the Pill Nurturing time is short and fast, but it can still Activate the greatest Medicinal Effect of the Spirit Pill, highlighting efficiency.
The Water Alchemy Method is Gentle and steady, with a low failure rate and long Consume time. Its Profound Mystery also lies in the word "nurturing"!
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a Water Alchemy Method Pill Refining Grandmaster who nurtured Pills for a hundred years and used a Fourth Rank Pill Formula to refine a Fifth Rank High Grade Treasure Pill, Breaking Through the limits of his rank.
This is also the Profound Mystery of [nurturing].
Among them, there may also be a fusion of Pill Furnaces, Talismans, Formations... and many other auxiliary methods, but the Result is quite favorable, showing that the Dao of Pill Refining is very deep.
Most people exhaust their Lifetime and still only initially enter the gate.
Although Wang Yu can refine Supreme Grade Pills by borrowing the Effect of continuous polishing Feedback from the Storage Slot, it is still based on his own Comprehension, and rounding it up, it is also relying on his own talent.
Why not?
Compared to most people, his Alchemy Technique can definitely be considered to have reached the level of a Master who has entered the inner sanctum. He also has great confidence in refining Third Rank Pills, but the Quality is not guaranteed, and they are definitely mostly Low Grade.
Ten days later.
The Pill Furnace bloomed with bursts of Spirit Light. Wang Yu was radiant and opened the furnace with one palm.
One transparent and shining, Spiritual Qi-filled Supreme Grade Ice Spirit Pill.
Five light blue, sparkling High-Grade Ice Spirit Pills, making six Pills in total.
"Not bad, not bad, slightly wasted some Medicinal Properties."
After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Wang Yu swallowed the only Supreme Grade Ice Spirit Pill.
Before long.
"It actually Increased True Qi..."
