Chapter 633: Chapter 264 – Five Times the Cultivation Speed!_2
“There are still many areas for me to improve.”
“My Divine Soul’s endowment has barely stepped into the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, if I were to refine a top-grade Tongyou Pill, I’d have the chance to elevate it once again.”
The upper limit of Divine Soul determines the number of Cultivation Technique cycles, and these cycles influence the quantity of Spirit Qi captured from the Outer World.
Aside from the Divine Soul’s endowment...
“There’s medicine quality!”
“This is just a medium-grade Qi Unifying Pill. What if I refine an ascendant-grade pill?”
“I can’t obtain ascendant-grade pills in the Heart Inquiry Mirror simulation, but that’s just a simulation, which inherently neglects subjective factors, my external system enhancements, and that changes in the Outer World aren’t static due to my cognition. Under major changes, my opportunities will definitely increase.”
“Apart from the pills, there’s my physique!”
Luo Chen could feel that he wasn’t far from transitioning into the second realm of Body Refinement.
Once his body becomes stronger, he would further enhance his Immortal Cultivation Practice.
“In the Heart Inquiry Mirror simulation, I was able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization by the age of 330 through the Path of Demon Cultivation.”
“In real life, can’t I achieve the same on the path of orthodox cultivation before my life span runs out?”
Luo Chen didn’t doubt himself in the slightest!
He had faced trials and hardships along the way, but his previous successes had already forged his unyielding Dao Heart.
Go with the Dao Heart, act with the Dao Heart.
He won’t stop!
...
The next day.
Luo Chen woke up early.
He only slept for an hour.
But he didn’t feel overly tired, only that he couldn’t overexert himself in cultivation.
Most cultivators are like this when engaged in practice.
The limit that Luo Chen tested before was, in reality, the limit under the condition of not excessively exhausting the Divine Soul’s Endowment.
However, when cultivators are on the verge of a breakthrough, they don’t take this into account.
Not to mention ten times a day.
Not only could it transmit sounds over a thousand miles, but its speed was also nearly simultaneous.
But of course, with such excellent effects, the price was naturally high.
One piece would cost three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
Plus, there was an additional condition of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator infusing their Spirit Consciousness!
Once he kept the Jade Jue, Qu Lingjun couldn’t help but ask, “What about the Jade Marrow Pill business?”
“Before the auction, I had refined a large batch of Jade Marrow Pills, enough for the Luo Tian Creed to sell for half a year.”
Luo Chen naturally considered this major point as well.
If he was rather complacent about having savings of 400,000 before, then once the auction ended, he abandoned that thought.
In the auction, he spent a total of 240,000!
He spent another 100,000 on the lease of the Ascendant Grade Cave House for two years.
By now, he only had a meager 60,000 Spirit Stones left.
And they were all Medium Grade Spirit Stones plus a single Ascendant Grade Spirit Stone.
These two can’t be easily spent, especially the latter!
It is no longer just currency, but a strategic resource that could save lives during critical moments!
In this way, Luo Chen had essentially turned into a pauper!
Unfortunately!
What’s next for him is numerous expenditures.
The elixir was temporarily manageable, as the Medium Grade Qi Unifying Pill from the auction could be used for around a year.
However, the annual rent for the Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansion is a point that must be seriously considered.
48,000 a year!
Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators simply couldn’t afford this expenditure.
Therefore, more elixirs must be refined.
“From now on, send Chairman Sima to pick up the elixir every six months.”
Qu Lingjun curiously asked, “Won’t you need other people assisting you in refining pills, master?”
“No need, the group of people that does nothing but process herbs for me, should spend the rest of their time refining pills with the four of you.”
Luo Chen gave a slight smile, “Do not disappoint me!”
“Mm-mm, we certainly won’t disappoint you, master!”
