Terran Guardian - Chapter 2666

Chapter 2651 Physical Limits

Refining high-grade elixirs is simply a waste of money.

But refining low-grade elixirs is the real way to make money.

But there is a problem with this.

That is, if an alchemist wants to make a breakthrough, it is impossible to keep refining low-grade pills. Only by refining pills of high enough grade can he hope to make a breakthrough.

“In the end!”

“If you want to truly train an alchemist, the price you need to pay is not low, and it is not something that ordinary forces can afford.”

“For someone like me right now, refining the Immortal King’s top-grade elixir is simply a loss.”

“The only good news is that the actual cost of my elixir is not as high as I estimated. After all, the spiritual medicine needed to refine the elixir is cultivated by myself. If I really buy it from outside, the cost will be too high!”

Shen Changqing now truly realized how much it costs to train an alchemist.

In the past, when he was improving his alchemy level, he had actually noticed this, but it was not as intuitive as it was now when he was refining large quantities of Immortal King’s top-grade elixirs.

Two hundred pills resulted in a direct loss of 600,000 low-grade immortal stones.

But the problem is that there is no way around it.

After all, Tongtian Pavilion currently has no immortal stones to trade, so even if Shen Changqing gave these immortal king elixirs to the other party, it would be useless.

If it is a barter, Tongtian Pavilion also does not have the elixir that he needs.

This is because the universe of the heavens is ultimately a tiny universe, and it is on the verge of destruction. Although Tongtian Pavilion can enter and trade with the monks of the heavens to earn some money, it will not prepare too many good things.

You should prepare things according to the target group.

so.

This can also be seen from the side.

Sometimes, not everything can be purchased with fairy stones.

Especially for some hard-to-obtain elixirs, even if the price is several times higher than the market price, it is not certain that you can get them.

Same.

If you want to sell the pills you made yourself at a price higher than the market price, and you really want to sell them, you also have to consider the timing.

If someone happens to need it, then I would be willing to pay several times more to buy it, but if no one needs it, it would be difficult to sell it.

Overall.

If an alchemist wants to make money, he can only refine pills of lower grade than his own, or wait for others to provide the corresponding elixir, and then charge a fee to refine it. As for whether it is successful or not, it has nothing to do with him.

“The correct way to open it is to wait for others to come and ask for alchemy!”

“This way, I don’t have to bear the cost, and I can also improve my alchemy skills in disguise!”

“Whether the alchemy is successful or not has nothing to do with the alchemist!”

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.

Everyone has a gaming mentality.

It is just like the third-level immortal pill that Shen Changqing is refining now. Although his success rate is only about half, once he succeeds, there is a high probability that he can make more than three pills.

To make three pills, that would cost three thousand low-grade immortal stones.

Looking at the investment cost, it only requires about 700 low-grade immortal stones.

For ordinary cultivators, each immortal stone is extremely precious. With such a generous reward of several times, everyone wants to give it a try.

After all, who can guarantee that they will have that 50% success rate?

Strictly speaking.

Rather than saying that the success rate of alchemy is half, it is better to say that any elixir has a 50% chance of success. It is either success or failure. The so-called half success rate can only be reflected in large-scale elixir refining.

so.

In a situation where it’s either success or failure, it’s normal for some people to be willing to give it a try.

Although Shen Changqing has never entered the upper realm, he can know most of these things from the current situation of the heavens and the psychology of human nature.

“It’s a pity that the current situation of the heavens is different from that of the upper realms. I can’t wait for someone to come to me and ask for the elixir. In this case, I have to spend money to make the elixir myself.

But the current investment is only temporary. As long as Zhutian survives this catastrophe, one day we will be able to earn back all the lost immortal stones!”

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, put the green jade tripod into the storage ring, and then took out a third-level immortality pill and took it directly.

As the pill entered his mouth, it immediately turned into a stream of warm saliva that flowed into his stomach. Shen Changqing almost instinctively activated his immortal power, slowly consuming the pill’s power bit by bit, and then circulated it around his body.

One week!

Two weeks!
…

It took a full thirty-six weeks to complete.

The medicinal power of the third-level immortal pill was finally exhausted.

Then.

Shen Changqing observed himself with his mind and he could clearly find that his immortal power had become a little purer than before. There was no increase in the total amount, but there was an imperceptible change in the quality.

After a moment.

Shen Changqing’s mind drifted away from himself and he shook his head slightly.

“The third-level immortality pill can indeed make immortal power pure, but its effect on me is limited. It seems that the level of the ancient immortal scripture I practiced is too high, and the immortal power I cultivated is extremely pure, which leads to this situation.

If it is pure immortal power, the effect of taking the third-level immortality pill will be weaker, and vice versa! “

This is good news.

After all, the purer the immortal power is, the stronger the power it can exert compared to immortal powers of the same level.

Since he cannot break through to the ancient immortal level now, Shen Changqing naturally hopes that the purity of his immortal power will be as high as possible.

Although the effect of the third-level Ningxian Pill is very weak at present, Shen Changqing will not miss this opportunity to improve himself.

after all–

At his level, it would be difficult for him to improve his strength if he could not break through to the ancient immortal level.

There is a slight improvement at the moment, and Shen Changqing will certainly not miss such an opportunity.

Immediately.

After the effect of the previous pill wore off, Shen Changqing immediately took the second pill.

The pills went into his stomach one by one.

The immortal power that Shen Changqing had cultivated was purified bit by bit.

but.

After taking the tenth pill, Shen Changqing stopped.

Because he discovered that a layer of dirt had quietly appeared in his body. The presence of this dirt made his immortal power and the circulation of qi and blood become a little obscure.

See here.

An idea suddenly popped up in Shen Changqing’s mind.

“erysipelas!”

All medicines are poisonous.

Pills are naturally no exception.

The presence of erysipelas was normal in Shen Changqing’s opinion.

Shen Changqing was not afraid of a little bit of poison, as long as it was expelled from the body. But if he left it alone and allowed the poison to accumulate deeper and deeper, the consequences would become serious.

So for the next period of time, Shen Changqing stopped taking pills, but instead eliminated the pill poison in his body bit by bit.

And then.

Shen Changqing continued to refine the elixir.

…

Ten!

Twenty!
Thirty!
…

After taking a full hundred third-level immortality pills, Shen Changqing stopped taking such pills. After eliminating the remaining poison in his body, immortal power flowed through his body.

Shen Changqing closed his eyes and silently felt the changes in himself. After a long time, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.

“One hundred third-level immortality pills have made my immortal power at least 30% purer. This is the limit!”

“If you want to continue to purify your immortal power, simply taking the third-level Condensing Immortal Pill will not work. You can only take a higher-level Condensing Immortal Pill—”

“Besides, with my current physical condition, I have almost reached the limit of what I can bear!”

After taking a hundred Ningxian Pills, Shen Changqing discovered that his body had a vague feeling of saturation, which was the limit of its ability to carry immortal power.

The power of immortals is the sea.

The body becomes heaven and earth.

The heaven and earth support the sea, but if the latter is too large, it will cause the former to collapse.

Generally speaking, for a cultivator who has reached the half-step ancient immortal realm, a physical body of normal immortal king level is enough to carry his immortal power.

But if you want to further purify the immortal power and enhance the quality of your own immortal power, then your physical body must also make corresponding breakthroughs.

As for Shen Changqing now, his body, which is half a step away from becoming an ancient immortal, is almost at its limit in carrying the immortal power of this level. There is no possibility of going any further for the time being.

To be frank.

Shen Changqing is confident that he is now one of the strongest half-step ancient immortals. Even in the upper realm, he is confident that no one can be stronger than him in the half-step ancient immortal realm.

After all, the limit is here.

Of course.

If the physical body can break through the barrier of the Immortal King and truly step into the ancient fairyland, then I believe there will still be some space.

But in that case, it can’t be considered a half-step ancient immortal in the true sense.

Besides.

It is not easy to purify the immortal power.

Even though Shen Changqing practiced the ancient immortal scripture, he still had to take hundreds of third-level immortality pills before he could refine his immortal power.

You can say that.

He can get this far.

It’s not just because of the elixir, the advantages of the Ancient Immortal Scripture and the Ancient Immortal Body cannot be ignored.

Looking at the remaining one hundred third-level immortality pills, Shen Changqing did not take any more.

He has reached his limit, and taking any more would be a complete waste.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing just came out of seclusion.

The next moment, he appeared in the Holy Lord’s Hall of the Ancient Holy Land.

Shen Changqing looked at the Seven Profound Divine Tower in front of him and with a wave of his sleeve, he put this treasure into his sea of consciousness, and then his divine consciousness spread out, covering the entire ancient holy land.

He had been secluded in the first level of space for more than 500,000 years, but to the outside world, it was only a change of a mere 5,000 years.

Compared to five thousand years ago, the strength of the ancient holy land has become much stronger now.

The cultivators at the powerful realm, such as Duan Jing and others, have all made breakthroughs in their cultivation.

Newly promoted saints and holy maidens like Jiang Wuhai and Ji Yue, who have the aura of an Immortal King, have made real leaps and bounds in their cultivation over the past five thousand years. They have broken through from the original sixth level of Dao Fruit to the peak level of the tenth level of Dao Fruit in one go.

Under the influence of Shen Changqing’s divine consciousness, he could see that the few people were quite stable at the tenth level of Dao Fruit, and it would not take much time to break through to the Great Power level. (End of this chapter)
