A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 170

The problem of elixirs

There are significant differences even among ten-thousand-year-old   spiritual herbs . It’s similar to how some level-five demon cores in the Chaotic Star Sea can only be used to refine Foundation Establishment pills, while others can be used to refine Core Formation pills.

Don’t confuse them; just because a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb is useful for all Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Even the rarest ten

–

thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the Human Realm are only used as auxiliary pills for the early Nascent Soul stage.

In the Spirit Realm, the main reason ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are the primary raw materials for Nascent Soul stage pills is that their potency is three times that of those in the Human Realm.

That’s right.

This is a point that might be overlooked.

The reason for this is simple:

one day in the Spirit Realm is equivalent to three days in the Human Realm.

This time difference is mentioned in the original text.

This inevitably means that a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb in the Spirit Realm is at least comparable to a thirty-thousand-year-old spiritual herb in the Human Realm.

Considering environmental factors such as spiritual energy concentration, the medicinal potency of spiritual herbs of the same variety and age in the spirit realm is at least three times that of those in the human realm. Do you understand?

—In

summary, we can draw three conclusions:

1. Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the spirit realm are a level more precious than those of the same age and variety in the Spirit Garden of the human realm.

2. Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the human realm are also divided into those from the Spirit Garden and other ancient spiritual herbs.

Those that can be planted in the Spirit Garden are absolutely the rarest of the rare.

Any one of them could attract the attention of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators or even Deity Transformation cultivators from the outside world.

In other words, the delicate varieties that can only survive in the Spirit Garden are superior to ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that can survive in the outside world. Otherwise,

why don’t we see the ten-thousand-year-old form of ordinary spiritual herbs in the Spirit Garden?

For example, ten-thousand-year-old Polygonatum.

3. Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the outside world are also divided into high-grade and ordinary varieties.

Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that can be used to refine the Demon Essence Pill of the Heavenly Demon Sect are undoubtedly high-grade.

Those varieties are beneficial to late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Finally, there are the ordinary ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

For example, the ones that the Heavenly Talisman Elder casually planted in an underground stone hall in the Crimson Forbidden Land.

Although the Heavenly Talisman Elder was strong, he was only a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The herbs he carried with him were mostly Nascent Soul-level spiritual herb seeds, which makes sense, right?

Ten thousand years later, these spiritual herbs are most suitable for mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, is there anything wrong with that?

The four herbs the protagonist gave him were four of the dozen or so fire-attribute herbs he obtained from the Crimson Forbidden Land back then.

If you’re talking about preciousness, it is indeed precious, without a doubt.

But to say it alarmed a great cultivator is an exaggeration.

—To

summarize based on the above:

Ordinary ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the mortal realm are most suitable for the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, and have some value for the

late-stage Nascent Soul realm. High-quality ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the mortal realm have a significant promoting effect on the late

-stage Nascent Soul realm. Rare ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the Spirit Garden of the mortal realm are effective for the early to mid-

stage Deity Transformation realm. Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the Spirit Realm have a very good effect on the mid-to-late Deity Transformation realm.

—I

noticed that some readers didn’t quite understand the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb incident in the previous chapter, thinking the protagonist was taking too much risks.

But if you read this supplementary chapter, I believe you won’t find it so exaggerated.

Please point out any inconsistencies in the article. Be generous in pointing them out.

I am very grateful for your feedback.

This allows me to make the writing flow more smoothly and comfortably.

Most readers who have persevered to this point are seasoned readers who seek a more reasonable exploration and interpretation of the original work. That process of exploration is incredibly satisfying.

To all the readers who have persevered this far, you have already given this book a great deal of support.

Thank you all!

—In

short, the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the first two chapters are just ordinary ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs from the human realm. The pills refined from them are most suitable for mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

If you really don’t understand, just consider it a secondary setting in this book.

Just accepting this point will make things much easier.

—Also

,

some readers feel that the protagonist is too kind and benevolent. Isn’t this just like ordinary people in reality? Everyone is kind-hearted. Everyone is just an ordinary good person.

Some readers might prefer a more domineering and demonic protagonist, as that’s the easiest and most convenient—if you want something, just grab it. If you see something you like, just take it. For example, the ancient pill formulas in Song Yu’s hands—just knock him unconscious and steal them.

But I can’t write it that way. The reason is simple: I need to eat!
