Chapter 148 Ch 148: Spirit Nourishing Pill
Only after wasting entire four hours did he manage to find a small room in a small inn to rent. And he has to pay double the original price.
Inside the room, Alex was laying on his bed when he suddenly remembered about the Earthly Spirit Milk. This was a Royal Grade Treasure that he found on the Stairway To Chaos. Alex was currently just a step away from Origin Sea Stage, after breaking through, he can use this treasure to increase his cultivation base.
He had kept an entire pond of Earthly Spirit Milk inside his personal space. At that time, his personal space was unlike now, it was 40x40x40.
Taking a deep breath, Alex once again glanced at the attribute panel of the Earthly Spirit Milk.
[Name: Earthly Spirit Milk (Royal Grade).
Details: Earthly Spirit Milk is born from an extremely high concentration of spirit energy to the point where it started to liquify. At the same time, the place should be filled with Earth Attribute Treasures.
Usage: Earthly Spirit Milk can be used by an Origin Sea Stage martial warrior and above. It can cause the cultivation of an Origin Sea Stage martial warrior to soar without limit. As long as there is Earthly Spirit Milk, no matter how much a martial warrior increases their cultivation in a short time, there'll be no bottleneck and no damage to their foundation. It can also be used as the main ingredient to refine Earthly Spirit Pill that can directly raise an Origin Sea Stage martial warrior's cultivation by three levels.
Earthly Spirit Milk can also be used to refine the body and cleanse the impurities. Refining the body using the Earthly Spirit Milk can't increase the cultivation base, but if refined perfectly, there is a probability of a martial warrior giving birth to a special physique called Earthly Spirit Body which is also a Royal Grade Special Physique.]
Alex no longer needed Earthly Spirit Body, for he already has Godfiend Phantom Body. What physique can be stronger than the universe's strongest physique?
He has a lot of Earthly Spirit Milk. With this Royal Rank Treasure, he could easily step into Heavenly Completion Stage and even Crystal Transformation Stage.
But, he wanted to go to an Alchemist Association and replicate top alchemists' treasures, and see if he could refine Earthly Spirit Pill or not. If he could, then what kind of effect the Earthly Spirit Pill will have compared to the raw Earthly Spirit Milk.
.....
"Alchemist Association!"
Half an hour later, Alex was standing at the entrance of an incomparably imposing building. After taking a look at the words on the plaque, he walked in.
There were a lot of customers inside. Alex even saw no less than ten Crystal Transformation Stage martial warriors, however, Alex didn't find the treasures on their bodies attractive. Behind them was a large group of young men and women with slightly low cultivation bases. Alex had seen some of them before when they were registering. It seemed like they were the elders of some families who had brought their juniors here to participate in the selection of the Profound Star Sect.
Alex walked around and saw a few alchemists but they were all low leveled alchemists. However, Alex still replicated their knowledge of alchemy as well as many pill formulas.
After that, he found an idle attendant. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, I want some spiritual herbs?"
This attendant looked to be around thirty years old, and his cultivation was the same as Alex's. He was a Peak Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior. In the Wasteland, such an existence would be considered a first-class expert. He was strong enough to become a powerful expert, but in the Cloud Rising City, he was just a lowly attendant.
"Sir, we have all kinds of spiritual herbs. What kind of pill do you want to refine and how many portions of spiritual herbs do you want?"
Alex thought for a while and chose a pill called Spirit Nourishing Pill. This pill can nourish a martial warrior's spirit, making their spiritual sense stronger and wider. This pill was Tier 7 pill. To refine this pill, it not only requires a person to have a cultivation base of at least peak Origin Sea Stage, but it also requires that person to have strong control over the flame.
Moreover, having the peak Origin Sea Stage cultivation base was the least requirement to be able to refine Tier 7 Pills. One has to be a Heaven Rank Alchemist Master to refine this kind of pill.
Just like cultivation, the alchemy profession is also divided into many ranks. A person who can refine Tier 1 to Tier 3 pills is called Alchemy Apprentice. Then there is Yellow Rank Alchemy Master who can refine Tier 4 pills. Profound Rank Alchemy Master can refine Tier 5 pills. Earth Rank Alchemy Master can refine Tier 6 pills, and Heaven Rank Alchemy Master can refine Tier 7 pills.
Above Heaven Rank Alchemy Master is Alchemy Grandmaster who can refine Tier 8,9, and 10 pills.
In the Middle Land, Tier 10 is the last tier of pills any Alchemy Grandmaster could refine. There is a rumor that beyond Three Cultivation Lands, there are alchemists who could refine pills above Tier 11.
Alex chose to refine the Spirit Nourishment pill because he wanted to attract the attention of higher-ups of the Alchemist Association. With his, current strength, if he wanted to refine this pill, he was sure to attract their attention. At that time, he can replicate the treasures related to alchemy on their bodies.
"I want Spiritual Herbs to refine Spirit Nourishment Pills. Umm... How about this, give me a hundred portions of these herbs." Alex said to the attendant.
"One Hundred portions? Okay, I wonder if you are paying with Spirit Stones or bartering? If you are bartering with items, Alchemist Association will charge you some processing fee."
When the attendant heard how many portions Alex wanted to buy, his eyes lit up. He never thought that Alex, a mere Peak Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior, had made this deal. If this deal is done, he could get a commission of at least 100 High Grade Spirit Stones. Therefore, his attitude immediately became a little more serious.
"I'll be bartering. I'll use a Blood Enhancement Pill and a Dark Yin Pill to exchange for the herbs." Alex nodded and said.
He chose to exchange pills because of two reasons. First, all he has in his hands are Low Grade Spirit Stones and in order to buy a hundred portion herbs of Spirit Nourishing Pills, it'll cost him more than ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones.
Second, he doesn't have any use of the Blood Enhancement Pill and Dark Yin Pill. These two pills were replicated by Alex when he was returning to the academy from the abyss and on his way back, he encountered a demonic cultivator called Zaal Maluam who was trying to kill Zhu Yun, the daughter of the leader of the Profound Star Sect.
Third, the Blood Enhancement Pill and Dark Yin Pill are both Tier 7 pills, and they are both very difficult to refine. If they are sold, they can be sold for more than ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones.
Compared to a Tier 7 Pill, the herbs to refine them can be bought ten times cheaper.
"One Blood Enhancement Pill and a Dark Yin Pill?"
The attendant looked shocked. He could not help but look at Alex, after all, these two were Tier 7 pills while Alex was just a Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior. He shouldn't have these pills in his possession.
It was rude to do this, but Alex did not care.
"Sir, I wonder if the Blood Enhancement Pill and Dark Yin Pill were refined by your family's elders, or by you?"
"Is there any difference?" Alex looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said.
The attendant hurriedly shook his head and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I will immediately bring your spiritual herbs over."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry. Not long after, he took a large pile of spiritual herbs and returned to Alex. Alex handed over the two Pills to him.
The attendant glanced at it and said solemnly, "It is indeed a Blood Enhancement Pill and a Dark Yin Pill. I will not collect the handling fee I told you about before."
"Because I have some knowledge about the Pills, I can distinguish whether it is real or fake. There is no need to ask an elder to appraise it. I hope that sir will have more be successful in refining the Spirit Nourishing Pills!"
"Sure, sure." Alex nodded, took the spiritual herbs, and turned to leave.
After he left, he bought a cauldron and returned to his room in the cheapest inn Then he started to concoct pills. This is the first time he was going to concoct pills.
