Selling Nourishing Face Pills would certainly bring Su Xing a huge profit.But right now, Su Xing doesn't know exactly how much the profit would be, not until he brings the Li Fire Alchemy out of the simulator and successfully refines a batch of Nourishing Face Pills.
[Year five, because you have produced a low-grade version of the Nourishing Face Pill and achieved financial freedom, you are ready to start deepening your research on the Li Fire Alchemy.]
[Your determination is astonishing. You spent a year memorizing all 360 pill formulas of the Li Fire Alchemy, along with all the steps, but since you lacked the necessary spiritual medicines, you couldn't successfully practice alchemy.]
[Year six, one day, Wang Qingxuan found you. In these years, Wang Qingxuan had limited contact with you because she feared exposure.]
[Wang Qingxuan brought you the first half of the Changchun Technique. You were puzzled and asked about the whereabouts of the second half.]
[Wang Qingxuan said her clearance wasn't high enough, and one needs to reach the Elder level to be able to exchange for the second half of the Changchun Technique.]
Su Xing was overjoyed upon seeing this. Although he couldn't obtain the second half of the Changchun Technique, at least it confirmed that the Descending Sect did indeed possess it!
As for the need to wait until reaching the Elder level to exchange for it, according to the previous simulations, one would need to attain the Heavenly King Level to become an Elder in the Descending Sect.
Although Su Xing currently couldn't get the second half of the Changchun Technique, he had plenty of time, and he could conduct numerous simulations. Sooner or later, he was bound to gain access to it.
Thinking of this, a heavy weight was lifted from Su Xing's heart.
After all, only with the second half of the Changchun Technique would he have a chance of becoming a Return to Void Realm cultivator. Then he could go to Qingyun Sect to find his nominal master, Qing Yunzi.
[You gave some Nourishing Face Pill to Wang Qingxuan, and she really liked your gift. That night, you tried out new positions.]
[You did not choose to join the Descending Sect, instead, you continued to immerse yourself in the study of Immortal Techniques.]
[Year seven, after seven years of breeding, your Spirit Chickens have proliferated to the seventh generation. The intelligence of the seventh-generation Spirit Chickens is significantly high, even comparable to some of the smarter dog breeds.]
[You eat Spirit Rice every day, and you're even able to have several Spirit Chicken eggs. Despite not focusing much on cultivation over the years, you still became a cultivator at the ninth level of Bone Forging Realm.]
[You begin to plan how to break through to the third major realm of Body Cultivation, the Organ Refining Realm.]
[One day, you learn of your younger sister's death and attend her funeral.]
[You know that Su Nianan died in the Demon-Subduing Pass scenario, but with your current strength, you can't change any of that. So, you delve even deeper into the study of Immortal Techniques, seeking to increase your strength.]
[You lament not having Body Refining Techniques, therefore in the body cultivation path, you can only continuously explore on your own.]
[One day, while researching the Li Fire Alchemy, you suddenly recall that among these formulas is a pill named the Organ Refining Pill which seems to strengthen the internal organs of the human body, and the Organ Refining Realm might just require strengthening the body's internal organs, so you begin to attempt refining the Organ Refining Pill.]
[However, according to the description in the Li Fire Alchemy, the Organ Refining Pill, unlike the previous Nourishing Face Pill and Fasting Pill, ranks at the lower end among the 360 types of pills. The difficulty of refining is vastly greater than the previously ungraded pills.]
[Year eight, you diligently studied the Organ Refining Pill for a year, practicing in your mind countless times, but you are still missing an essential herb called Yellow Immortal Essence.]
[Yellow Immortal Essence is the main ingredient of the Organ Refining Pill. Consuming it has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, as well as strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys.
It is greatly beneficial to the human body's internal organs, but the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique also mentions that Yellow Immortal Essence is not easy to cultivate, prefers Yin Water, and it must be grown for at least three years before it can be used as medicine.]
[So, for the next three years, you study the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique while cultivating the Yellow Immortal Essence.]
[In the eleventh year, after three years of your cultivation, you successfully grew several Yellow Immortal Essence plants, and you started attempting to refine the Five Viscera Pills.]
[You had simulated the refining process of the Five Viscera Pills hundreds of times in your mind, but when you actually set to work, you found it more difficult than you had imagined.]
[Firstly, your control over the Li Fire Technique was not adequate. Refining a furnace of Five Viscera Pills required a process that lasted several hours, and the spiritual energy and mana within you were simply not enough to sustain you for so long.]
[Thus, while holding a spirit stone to replenish your spiritual energy, you used the Li Fire Technique to try to refine the Five Viscera Pills.]
[You barely managed to maintain the process for several hours, exhausted to the point of weariness. When you opened the furnace to retrieve the pills, you discovered that your Five Viscera Pills hadn't formed at all. Due to poor control of the heat, the pills had turned into a charred mess.]
Su Xing, seeing this, muttered speechlessly:
"The complexity of refining Five Viscera Pills is nothing like that of Nourishing Face Pills or Fasting Pills... With my alchemy skills in the simulator, trying to refine Five Viscera Pills is still too forced. Perhaps I should start by learning to refine some other elixirs?"
Moved by an impulse, Su Xing continued the simulation.
[You temporarily gave up on refining Five Viscera Pills and began to learn how to prepare some lesser elixirs. Through your research, you found you could refine a minor elixir known as Qi Gathering Powder.]
[Qi Gathering Powder was a powdery substance. The ingredients required included spirit stones, spiritual spring water, spirit rice, and some other herbs to assist in the refining process.]
[The Qi Gathering Powder could slightly increase the cultivator's store of spiritual energy over a short period.]
[You started to earnestly research Qi Gathering Powder, and due to your previous alchemy experience, you made rapid progress in learning how to prepare it.]
[In the twelfth year, you successfully refined Qi Gathering Powder. After taking it, you felt the spiritual energy within your body increase by about ten percent, lasting for around fifteen minutes.]
[In the thirteenth year, after a year of improvements, you were able to produce high-quality Qi Gathering Powder, which after consumption could increase spiritual energy by twenty percent, lasting for about thirty minutes.]
Pleased with the results, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. There were ample materials for the Qi Gathering Powder, and he still had nearly a thousand pieces of spiritual medicine at hand! Moreover, the effects of the Qi Gathering Powder were truly exceptional, not only enhancing his fighting ability but also making elixir refinement much smoother.
Su Xing continued the simulation.
[One day, a dignified middle-aged man found you. He told you he was Jin Congxue's father, and he brought the news of Jin Congxue's death.]
[Sorrow rose in your heart, and then the man explained his purpose. He had found Fasting Pills among Jin Congxue's belongings. He said that these pills were of great importance to the Great Xia military, and he inquired whether you could supply them with more Fasting Pills.]
[You hesitated for a moment, then admitted that you had personally refined the Fasting Pills, and you produced all one thousand Fasting Pills you had accumulated over the years.]
[Jin Congxue's father, thrilled, accepted the Fasting Pills. He gave you a compensation of two hundred million Great Xia Coins and requested you to refine one hundred thousand Fasting Pills.]
[Curiosity piqued, you asked him why such a quantity of Fasting Pills was necessary.]
[After a moment's hesitation, he told you the reason. It turned out that the Human Race's situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass was increasingly dire, especially due to a shortage of professionals; Fasting Pills could ensure that master-level professionals wouldn't starve for three days, thus they would be extremely effective on the battlefield.]
[You agreed to help the Great Xia military refine Fasting Pills, but you also set forth a condition: you wanted to meet with the high-ranking officials of the Great Xia military.]
[Through arrangements made by Jin Congxue's father, you managed to meet a certain leader of the Great Xia military...] Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
