Mortal Alchemy

He knew his talent was lacking, his only reliance was the alchemy inheritance. He had to do everything possible to achieve Foundation Establishment before the age of forty.

Madam Huadie only offered to let him keep her company and chat when he was free, to relieve boredom, because she thought Chen Ping would never achieve Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

This gesture was actually somewhat ambiguous, it was unknown whether she wanted to remarry, or wanted to use small favors to keep Chen Ping as a pretty boy, or simply wanted to find this handsome junior apprentice to chat and relieve boredom.

However, Chen Ping was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao and would never agree to Madam Huadie's request.

Meng Huang'er, who brought him into the sect, was not even sure if Chen Ping could cultivate to the third level of Qi Refining after learning about his spiritual root talent. She estimated that Chen Ping's best outcome in this life would be to be a live-in son-in-law in the Mu family.

While waiting for the spiritual water to soak the medicinal herbs and discerning the order of alchemy, Chen Ping took out a Yuan Qi pill and swallowed it.

"Hiss~ What pure spiritual power!" Chen Ping's expression was shaken:

"No wonder it costs one spiritual stone per pill!"

Chen Ping closed his eyes and quickly refined the pill.

This Jing Qi pill assists in cultivation, making it easier for the body to absorb spiritual energy.

But this Yuan Qi pill contains its own medicinal power, which can improve the cultivator's cultivation and also has a certain effect of abstaining from grains.

The spiritual power turned into hundreds of strands of spiritual energy, wandering around in the body, but not causing any harm.

A day later, Chen Ping refined one-third of the Yuan Qi pill and had a relatively accurate understanding of the pill's medicinal power and efficacy:

"This one Yuan Qi pill is at least equivalent to one month of my hard meditation."

He could clearly feel that his cultivation, which had almost stagnated, had begun to improve rapidly!

This refreshing feeling of rapidly improving cultivation made Chen Ping feel excited.

"Expensive has its reasons! But the pill toxins are heavier than the Jing Qi pill, unlike what the old man told me about the pill toxins being weaker..."

But the cultivation technique Chen Ping practiced could ignore pill toxins.

"Most of the disciples only earn one or two spiritual stones a month. From the perspective of pill toxins, price, and effect, the most cost-effective is the Jing Qi pill."

"If I have enough Yuan Qi pills to improve my cultivation... Foundation Establishment in this life is promising!"

Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but get excited.

"I have the Yuan Qi pill recipe, if only I could get the Yuan Qi pill materials."

"I'll ask Senior Brother Xu about the materials later."

Suppressing his excited mood.

Chen Ping continued to study the refining of the Spiritual Awareness Pill.

The ten portions of materials in his hand were quickly used up.

But hard work pays off, Chen Ping finally refined a furnace of Spiritual Awareness Pills.

But there was no joy on his face. The difficulty of refining the Spiritual Awareness Pill was very high, and he was not yet confident that he could stably produce the Spiritual Awareness Pill.

"No big problem, even if ten portions of medicinal herbs produce one furnace of Spiritual Awareness Pills, I'm still making a big profit."

"The plan has to change. In the future, it's best not to refine Jing Qi pills myself, wasting my time."

Now that he can refine Spiritual Awareness Pills, he can completely sell the Spiritual Awareness Pills himself and take three spiritual stones to buy thirty Jing Qi pills to hand in for the task.

And most of his time can be used for cultivation.

In this way, the resources for cultivation should be enough.

However, this is only an estimate at the moment. As the cultivation level increases, the speed of refining pills will become faster, and each level will be more difficult than the last, requiring more resources.

And the demand for squeezing alchemy will be even higher.

At this moment, Chen Ping finally understood even more why it was so difficult for ordinary cultivators to cultivate.

In the later stages of cultivation, more resource support is needed to be able to impact Foundation Establishment before the age limit.
