Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Vein Protection Elixir
Translator: 549690339
Even in the south of the city, the poorest area for cultivators,
He Song had never seen such a scene before.
Being a cultivator was different.
Spiritual Root Possessors were one in a million.
It’s impossible for cultivators to make a living by selling their beauty. Although there were female cultivators who specialized in dual cultivation techniques, they made a mutual agreement out of necessity. Unlike the common folks who relied on their beauty for a living.
However,
He Song ceased his wanderings in the north of the city after a few days.
A sudden piece of news made him cast all these thoughts out of his mind.
One day,
A piece of news was making the rounds in Green Wall Immortal City.
A small auction would be held within the Green Wall Immortal City.
In this small auction, many precious items would be auctioned off.
Originally, He Song didn’t care, nor did Wei Fan, and Meng Guan didn’t even know about it.
Until… someone mentioned that a Vein Protection Elixir would appear in this small auction.
He Song and Wei Fan exchanged glances, quickly passed the news to Meng Guan, who was conserving his energy and sharpening his focus in the quiet room.
Upon hearing the news, Meng Guan stepped out of his seclusive cultivation room, climbed up the loft step by step, and sat across from He Song, who was waiting for him, sipping tea.
On the loft, the three of them faced each other, surrounded by the subtle fragrance of tea, filling the entire room with a refreshing aroma.
He Song and Wei Fan had been waiting for a long time.
Now that they saw Meng Guan’s appearance, they finally felt the worry stone in their hearts has landed.
Thank goodness the news arrived in time.
Meng Guan hadn’t started his breakthrough yet.
That is to say, Meng Guan still had the opportunity to use the Vein Protection Elixir for his breakthrough.
Instead of having to push through without any elixirs as previously speculated.
In that case, the outcome would be truly uncertain between life and death.
If they can purchase the Vein Protection Elixir in this auction, even if Meng Guan fails to make a breakthrough, he can at least stay alive.
“Please, my two friends, help me.”
After sitting for a while, Meng Guan stood up and deeply bowed to his two friends in front of him.
He did have a considerable amount of spirit stones on him.
However, knowing the price of the Vein Protection Elixir, he also knew that he didn’t have enough spirit stones.
Therefore, asking for help from his two friends might increase the chances of him obtaining the Vein Protection Elixir.
With the Vein Protection Elixir in hand, even if his breakthrough fails, he can still recover within ten years and avoid dying.
Although he had made preparations to risk his life, and had always been implementing them,
who would want to die if they could live?
Even if the road forward had already come to an end, at least he had also tried his best to fight and struggle in the past. Living without regrets can still be a way to live.
With Meng Guan’s words, the loft filled with the fragrance of tea became as silent as a pin drop.
After a brief quiet,
He Song and Wei Fan exchanged glances, and immediately stood up together and helped Meng Guan up.
“Where is Lao Meng’s language? Since we have informed you of this news, we will naturally do our best to help.”
When they received the news, He Song and Wei Fan had already discussed the matter.
Although they couldn’t guarantee that they could help Meng Guan get the Vein Protection Elixir, they would still try their best.
Therefore,
when Meng Guan asked for help, He Song and Wei Fan didn’t hesitate at all and agreed to help.
However, He Song felt a bit annoyed in his heart at this moment.
If he had known earlier, he would have sold the spirit rice in his small cargo storage bag.
Most of the more than one thousand spirit stones he had saved up before coming to Green Wall Immortal City had already been spent.
At this moment, He Song only had a little over two hundred spirit stones left.
Although these two hundred spirit stones were He Song’s entire fortune, he didn’t know if it would be enough.
If it wasn’t enough, then he might have to think of other ways.
After being helped up by He Song and Wei Fan, Meng Guan thanked them again with a bow. The three of them sat down once more and began discussing how they could acquire the Vein Protection Elixir.
“To my knowledge, the price of a Vein Protection Elixir is usually around two thousand spirit stones,”
Meng Guan said the first sentence after sitting down, raising an eyebrow in He Song’s heart.
The Vein Protection Elixir… is it that cheap?
This was a life-saving pill for a Qi-refining late stage cultivator after failed attempts at Foundation Establishment.
Although it was not as potent as the Foundation Establishment Elixir that could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment and completely recover within two years, it was able to recover completely within ten years after taking the Vein Protection Elixir even if the Foundation Establishment failed.
This was a life-saving pill for a cultivator in the Qi-refining late stage.
Two thousand spirit stones?
Wasn’t it too cheap?
It seemed Meng Guan had noticed the surprise in He Song’s eyes and paused before explaining.
“Although the Vein Protection Elixir can save lives, it is not that precious. It just takes a bit longer to gather all the necessary spirit medicine for a single furnace. ”
“In this auction, there will definitely be more than one Vein Protection Elixir.
With the rarity of items making them valuable, a furnace of Vein Protection Elixirs generally yields five to ten pills. Even if it takes three to five years to produce one furnace, cultivators who need them can still buy them.”
“After all, cultivators like me who don’t have time to wait for the Foundation Establishment Elixir are not common. If they still have time to wait, other cultivators would naturally choose to wait for the Foundation Establishment Elixir.”
Upon hearing Meng Guan’s explanation, He Song suddenly understood.
So that’s how it was.
Cultivators like Meng Guan, who had just practiced to the point of Qi Refining great perfection and were already nearing sixty years old, were rare.
For most Qi Refining great perfection cultivators, there was still plenty of time before they reached sixty years old.
With time, they naturally had the opportunity to wait for the appearance of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
After all, the Foundation Establishment Elixir could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.
However, if they took the Vein Protection Elixir first and failed in their Foundation Establishment, they would inevitably miss the peak period of their breakthrough before the age of sixty after the complete recovery of their injuries in ten years.
It took a full ten years for the Vein Protection Elixir to recover one’s strength!
Missing the peak period for attempting Foundation Establishment before sixty years old, their success rate would drop significantly even if they tried to break through using the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
so,
it was better to wait for the Foundation Establishment Elixir from the start, then try to fight for it.
When there was really no more time to wait, they could try using the Vein Protection Elixir as a last resort.
With that, He Song finally understood the reason why the price of the Vein
Protection Elixir was so cheap.
Two thousand spirit stones, which He Song could buy with his current income in a year.
With a glimmer in his eye, He Song gazes thoughtfully into the distance, it seems that he can use the Vein Protection Elixir.
“Due to the reward from slaying the Evil Cultivator, I still have over a thousand spirit stones on me. If my two friends could lend me some spirit stones, I would be extremely grateful,”
Seeing that He Song’s doubts were resolved, Meng Guan asked for spirit stones on the side.
He knew the price of the Vein Protection Elixir was only around two thousand spirit stones..
