Chapter 284: 276: 5 Years Later
the more than 100,000 spirit stones He Song earned from selling Earth Spirit Elixir in Ghost Road Immortal City were almost all spent by him in the blink of an eye.
The price of the hundreds of spirit medicines used to refine the Earth Spirit Elixir had already reached 100,000 spirit stones.
From this, it could be seen how expensive the Earth Spirit Ginseng and other auxiliary medicines He Song had used in refining the Earth Spirit Elixir were.
It was just that the Earth Spirit Ginseng He Song had consumed before had been grown by himself, and he had only spent spirit stones to buy some auxiliary medicines.
If he had chosen to buy Earth Spirit Ginseng from the beginning of his elixir refining, even if he had spent all of his wealth, he might not have reached the proficient level in refining the Earth Spirit Elixir.
The cost of refining the Earth Spirit Elixir with spirit medicines was high, making it too frightening for loose cultivators or even sect cultivators to bear.
Generally speaking, all normal elixir refining masters were trained by large forces.
It could be said that it was pure fantasy for a loose cultivator to become a master of elixir refining.
It was only because He Song was well-prepared and had grown Earth Spirit Ginseng for twenty years in advance.
That was how he was able to go so far on the path of elixir refining.
If it had been any other loose cultivator, they might have declared bankruptcy after refining just a few, a dozen, or a few dozen furnaces of elixir.
At that point, they might not have even had a single successful furnace, let alone recover their costs.
When He Song had tried to refine Earth Spirit Elixir, it was only after dozens of attempts that he was lucky enough to succeed with one furnace.
And this success rate of one in dozens was based on the fact that He Song’s soul was stronger than other cultivators, and his elixir refining success rate had also increased.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, this success rate might have to be lowered even further.
It was uncertain whether they would succeed once after more than a hundred or even several hundred furnaces.
Ordinary cultivators wanting to master a type of elixir recipe would experience many more setbacks than He Song.
As for why He Song didn’t buy the spirit medicines for refining the Earth Spirit Elixir at the Treasure Pavilion in Flowers Immortal City first, but went to other shops within Flowers Immortal City instead,
He Song had also considered this carefully.
He had just sold hundreds of bottles of Earth Spirit Elixir in Ghost Road Immortal City.
A few days later, someone came to buy various spirit medicines for refining Earth Spirit Elixir in Flowers Immortal City, not far from Ghost Road Immortal City.
Comparing these two events, wouldn’t it be easy to guess that there must be a connection between the two?
Especially when buying and selling within the same Treasure Pavilion, this situation would be even more obvious.
if He Song did not purchase from the Treasure Pavilion in Flowers Immortal City and went to other smaller shops,
the news from these smaller shops did not communicate with the Treasure Pavilion.
So even if it was really linked together, it would probably take a long time for the connection to be made.
In the meantime,
He Song might have already returned to Heaven Power Immortal City and continued refining elixirs in peace.
So how could he be concerned about the spread of information in this place?
By that time, knowing would just be knowing, right?
It was Master Hong Feng’s doing, so what did it have to do with Master Cang Song of Thick Earth Sect?
This was also the reason why He Song did not buy the spirit medicines for refining the Earth Spirit Elixir in the Treasure Pavilion in Flowers Immortal City.
Moreover, for his own safety, He Song concealed his cultivation level as the Qi-refining late stage this time.
In this way, no one would suspect him any longer.
Even if someone noticed him, and he couldn’t shake them off, and they followed him, with his strength, he could easily deal with them.
He wouldn’t feel guilty for bullying those robbery cultivators at the Qi-refining late stage with his mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Those who kill will always be killed themselves,
since they wanted to take his things, naturally, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for He Song to send them on their way.
After purchasing several hundred portions of various spirit medicines used to refine the Earth Spirit Elixir in Flowers Immortal City, He Song shook off the people following him.
He quickly left Flowers Immortal City and entered the Array Skill he had set up before entering the city.
A few days later,
seeing that no one had followed him, He Song finally put away the Array Skill and headed straight for Heaven Power Immortal City.
Along the way,
He Song left the range of Flowers Immortal City’s influence.
Crossed the range of Ghost Road Immortal City’s influence.
And bypassed the location of Thick Earth Sect’s Mountain Gate. He passed through the influence range of Mountain Immortal City, and finally returned to Heaven Power Immortal City once again.
Just like when He Song had left, his return this time did not disturb anyone.
He landed dozens of miles away from Heaven Power Immortal City and disguised himself as a black-robed cultivator before entering the city. Only then did he return to his residence in Heaven Power Immortal City.
He Song’s absence was not long, less than a month altogether.
No one had tried to find him using Sound Transmission Amulets during this short month.
He Song naturally understood that during the month he was away, nobody knew he had even left this place.
So when he returned to his mansion, He Song soon began his seclusive cultivation.
Now, He Song had sold more than a hundred bottles of Earth Spirit Elixir he had on him, obtaining 110,000 spirit stones.
However, he had also purchased hundreds of portions of spirit medicine for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs, spending 100,000 spirit stones.
It’s not that he didn’t profit from refining Earth Spirit Elixirs into spirit stones.
It’s just that in the previous three years, his success rate when refining Earth Spirit Elixirs had been too low, probably only around a 10% success rate.
But it had only increased to two or three out of ten afterward, and there had been too many failed attempts in the beginning.
With such a success rate, wanting to profit from spirit stones was wishful thinking.
As a result, the spirit stones He Song obtained from selling these Earth Spirit Elixirs were just enough for him to purchase several hundred portions of spirit medicine for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs.
Of course.
Once He Song’s success rate in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs started to rise, he naturally would be able to make a lot of spirit stones.
For example, the several hundred portions of spirit medicine for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs that he bought this time.
At present, his success rate in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs was around 30%.
Assuming he could successfully refine an average of seven elixirs per batch of Earth Spirit Elixirs.
At this success rate, He Song would be able to refine at least more than a hundred bottles of Earth Spirit Elixirs.
When selling more than one hundred bottles of Earth Spirit Elixirs, he would probably obtain more than a hundred thousand spirit stones.
Using these hundred thousand spirit stones to purchase spirit medicine for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs.
He could definitely buy even more spirit medicine.
In this way, continuing the cycle and practicing his skills, when He Song became proficient in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs, he naturally would have a continuous stream of spirit stones pouring into his storage bag.
Nowadays, He Song’s success rate in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs was around 30%.
He already had the necessary conditions for such a cycle.
As long as he continued like this, his skill in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs would naturally become more and more proficient.
And now.
Those hundreds of portions of spirit medicine for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs were the start of He Song’s continuous cycle.
Time flows slowly.
Years go by.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
During these five years, He Song had been shuttling between the Elixir Refinement Room and his meditation chamber every day, constantly improving his elixir refinement skills and his own cultivation progress.
After five years of constant cultivation, He Song’s progress once again experienced a significant growth.
Although he had not yet broken through from the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, He Song had already sensed that he was not far from the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
He had come a long way on the broad road of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Stage.
According to He Song’s estimation, if he wanted to successfully break through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, it would probably be within ten years.
Moreover, he likely wouldn’t need the full ten years.
Feeling the surging mana within his body, a satisfied look flashed in He Song’s
eyes.
By coming to Heaven Power Immortal City and enjoying the rich spirit Qi and various precious resources in the Treasure Pavilion, He Song’s cultivation speed had grown even faster.
In addition, during these five years, He Song had finally become completely proficient at refining Earth Spirit Elixirs, and the spirit stones he carried were no longer as scarce as before.
If He Song successfully broke through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and needed to change to top-grade Artifacts at that time, the spirit stones in his possession would obviously not be insufficient.
He Song, who had already mastered the method of refining Earth Spirit Elixirs, could now be considered a Master of elixir refining in the cruel Cultivation World.
A Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Stage Master of elixir refining.
How could he possibly worry about spirit stones?
However, even though He Song was now a Master of elixir refining, he didn’t stop studying Foundation Establishment Spirit Elixirs.
Although he had become completely proficient in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs and could rely on them to make a large number of spirit stones.
He Song didn’t focus all his attention on refining Earth Spirit Elixirs.
After refining Earth Spirit Elixirs and ensuring that he had enough spirit stones for his daily needs, He Song began to research other elixirs as well.
He still had many spirit medicines he had harvested in the previous twenty years.
Green Spirit Fruit, Spirit Guardian Fruit, and Exorcism Flowers.
These main medicines for refining other elixirs were still lying quietly in He Song’s storage bag, waiting to be refined into finished elixirs.
Now, with his proficiency in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs, He Song’s first target fell on the Green Spirit Fruit.
Green Spirit Fruit is the main medicine for refining Detoxification Elixirs.
Detoxification Elixirs are commonly used by cultivators to cleanse Elixir poison from their bodies and make their mana more pure.
For cultivators like He Song who liked to go into seclusive cultivation frequently, the existence of Detoxification Elixirs would greatly speed up their cultivation progress.
As a result, He Song was actually spending quite a few spirit stones every year on purchasing Detoxification Elixirs.
However, now that He Song was already a Master of elixir refining and could proficiently refine Earth Spirit Elixirs, ensuring a steady supply of spirit stones.
His attention naturally turned to the research on Detoxification Elixirs.
Once he became proficient in refining Detoxification Elixirs, not only would he save the spirit stones he spent on buying them,
But after becoming proficient in refining them, Detoxification Elixirs would also bring him enormous profits.
It should be known that he still had five medicine fields near the Herbs Immortal Workshop, which could provide him with a large number
