I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 259 - 17: Tens of Millions of Spirit Stones Down the Drain! Nine Ox Two Tiger Pill!
Lin Chen opened his eyes and smiled bitterly:
"Damn, hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, and not a single movement!"
"Devouring Spirit Root, this name was truly given accurately!"
Lin Chen vented his frustration inwardly.
According to the jade scroll, the third stage of the Devouring Spirit Root requires devouring an entire Spirit Vein, at least tens of millions of Spirit Stones.
However, thinking about the transformation in root quality after reaching the third stage,
and the cultivation speed comparable to top-grade Celestial Spirit Root, Lin Chen felt slightly better.
"Sigh, might as well continue devouring for now..."
Feeling a slight movement in his heart, Lin Chen cleared away the piles of crushed Spirit Stones.
Then, he took out hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, continuing to absorb them into his spirit root.
This cycle repeated for a whole half-day, with Lin Chen essentially transforming into a Spirit Stone crusher.
By the next morning, Lin Chen was left with only more than twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, as the rest had been absorbed.
Feeling the changes within his Dantian and Devouring Spirit Root, Lin Chen circulated his Spiritual Energy.
"It seems like there’s a bit of enhancement, roughly improved by one or two tenths?"
Lin Chen’s face instantly turned dark, with a whole ten million Spirit Stones having been devoured.
And yet, his True Essence only thickened by one or two tenths?
Ten million Spirit Stones could buy the lives of several Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"At this rate, it will require at least twenty million Spirit Stones for the Devouring Spirit Root to fully enter the third stage."
Lin Chen sighed, knowing that rushing things won’t cook a meal faster.
Emerging from the Golden Yuan Sect ruins, within less than a year, Lin Chen managed to earn tens of millions of Spirit Stones.
This was naturally benefiting from the chaos between the Orthodox and Demonic parties, with Magical Treasures and Golden Yuan Pills being hot commodities.
But once this wave of benefits is exhausted, the abilities within the Righteous Alliance are still limited after all.
The entire Righteous Alliance, including the two major Immortal Sects, along with various cultivation clans and loose cultivators...
Totaling only about a few hundred thousand cultivators in estimation.
And then excluding those early-stage Qi Refining cultivators who lack purchasing ability.
The remaining ones who can buy his Magical Treasures are less than a hundred thousand.
"Sigh, ultimately, the market is still too small."
"If only the basic scale within the Yanlai Realm was larger."
"More Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators... or attracting other forces outside the Righteous Alliance, then the harvesting could be better!"
Lin Chen muttered.
He sold Golden Yuan Pills not just to earn a large sum of Spirit Stones and balance the Orthodox and Demonic chaos, but also for one crucial reason: to let the crops grow more vigorously.
Imagine a Core Formation cultivator.
Even if it’s a Fake Pill, their purchasing ability will be several times or even tenfold compared to Foundation Establishment Perfection.
As long as Lin Chen nurtures enough Golden Core cultivators, would he need to worry about his Magical Treasures not selling?
A single Lower Grade Treasure Artifact can fetch a profit of ten to twenty thousand Spirit Stones.
"Hmm, but judging by the current situation. The auction still provides a stable amount of two hundred thousand Spirit Stones per month. As for traveling for transactions, it’s not that easy..."
"Magical Treasures are not consumables after all. Once a cultivator spends years’ worth of savings to purchase one, they won’t switch it in a short time, and ultimately the market will saturate."
Lin Chen sighed.
It’s unrealistic to quickly elevate the consumption level of cultivators in the Cultivation Realm within a short time, and for now, he can only gradually accumulate, preparing for a great leap forward.
...
After devouring the Spirit Stones, in the following days, Lin Chen continued his regular cultivation, practicing the Vibrating Blade Technique during his spare time.
With months of cultivation, Lin Chen’s Qi and Blood neared the Martial Venerable level.
His Qi and Blood Value reached 13,800 points, not far from the 15,000 Qi and Blood Value of a Martial Venerable.
Simultaneously, his fundamental strength reached 580,000 kilograms, which is 580 tons.
The Vibrating Blade Technique also slowly edged toward a tenfold amplification.
On this day, Lin Chen received a message from Wang Lishan.
"Lin Chen, there’s a major discovery, quickly come to the Alchemy Department for a look."
Seeing this message, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
"A major discovery? Could they have found something in those ancient texts left by the Golden Yuan Sect?"
Feeling a slight movement in his heart, Lin Chen hurried to the Alchemy Department.
At that moment, a group of expert alchemists were gathered around a pill formula for examination.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Wang Lishan immediately waved:
"You finally arrived! Quickly take a look... this pill formula seems like a strengthened version of the Ox and Tiger Pill."
With raised interest, Lin Chen immediately went over to examine.
This was an ancient pill formula made from parchment.
It was discovered tucked within an ancient book.
Last year, the Great Xia Country systematically categorized the tens of thousands of ancient texts brought out from the Golden Yuan Sect ruins.
And from them, they discovered quite a bit of useful knowledge and theories, able to advance Great Xia’s cultivation development.
But given the inadequate foundation, thoroughly digesting those texts will still take some time.
"Nine Ox Two Tiger Pill..."
Lin Chen raised his brow, feeling more intrigued.
Carefully reading and studying this pill formula, Lin Chen nodded:
"Indeed, this formula has a strong resemblance to the previous Ox and Tiger Pill..."
"However, this pill formula mentions the Demon Core of Fourth Tier Demon Beasts."
Pausing, Lin Chen took a deep breath and said:
"A Fourth Tier Demon Beast belongs to the Nascent Soul Stage Great Demon in the Cultivation Realm! And in the Martial Realm, it’s a Martial Monarch level demon beast!"
Hearing this, Wang Lishan took a deep breath and asked:
"Lin Chen, how confident are you in refining this Nine Ox Two Tiger Pill?"
In response, Lin Chen provided a conservative number:
"With three kilograms of Fourth Tier Demon Beast Flesh Essence, I should have an eighty percent chance to streamline the pill refinement process. Ultimately, mass-producing through equipment..."
Three kilograms of Fourth Tier Demon Beast’s Flesh Essence would require three Martial Monarch level demon beasts!
