A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 85

Let me start with a short section explaining the value of iron essence.

First: Please give me your monthly votes and recommendations, thank you.

Second: I’d like to add some explanation about the rarity of Iron Essence.

Many people think that the Qianzhu Cult’s Huanglong selling a fist-sized piece of Iron Essence for over two thousand spirit stones represents the market value of “a piece of Iron Essence.” But I want to say that Huanglong’s Iron Essence was only a small piece the size of a fist.

The fact that it ended up in the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator means it was very likely just a scrap. At most, it was a quarter or even a fifth of the value of a large piece of Iron Essence refined by a Core Formation cultivator. The logic is the same as how the barefoot giant of the Giant Sword Sect and Xuan Le of the Hidden Moon Sect obtained Silver Essence and Bronze Essence.

They were all scraps.

Therefore, a piece of Iron Essence refined by Li Huayuan is worth far more than two or three thousand spirit stones, but around ten thousand. Two pieces of Li’s Iron Essence are exactly equivalent to the nearly twenty thousand spirit stones value of a level 5 Bloodline Flood Dragon’s inner core.

Otherwise, the price fluctuations cannot be explained.

I didn’t even consider this point in my first book; my brain wasn’t sharp enough then, and I miscalculated. This book fills in this gap, essentially patching up the original work and making the prices more reasonable.

Furthermore, the price of ordinary magic weapons is around ten thousand.

This makes it reasonable that the iron essence mentioned by Fu Yunzi adds one point to the magic weapon Qingjun Sword.

The value of ordinary talismanic treasures at one or two thousand, or even three to five thousand, is also reasonable.

By the way, the claim that tens of thousands of spirit stones are used to cultivate a Core Formation stage cultivator is a matter of chance. An example from the original work is Xiao Cuier.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones can only be used wisely, such as buying a few bottles of pills to enhance mana to break through the bottlenecks of the early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and also buying aids for Core Formation like Heavenly Fire Liquid and Snow Spirit Water.

It’s impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to cultivate by consuming pills for an extended period. Tens of thousands of spirit stones aren’t enough; hundreds of thousands would be more reasonable.

Those cultivators with some wealth still need decades or even centuries of arduous cultivation to accumulate mana and improve their cultivation.

Only true second and third-generation cultivators can afford to cultivate by consuming pills excessively.

Alright.

Thank you everyone for your recommendation votes! Please give me your recommendation votes so I can stay on the recommendation vote list. Thank you! That’s all I’m hoping for.
