Traveling through the Immortal Cultivation World: I Use Solar Energy to Cultivate

"Auntie, do you have gunpowder for sale in your shop?" Wang Bin asked expectantly.

Du Juan didn't react for a moment and was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered what happened at the Chu family celebration today.

"Are you talking about that kind of gunpowder? I know about it, but we don't sell it at Sihai Mountain Gate.

This thing isn't even considered a spiritual material. One low-grade spiritual stone can buy quite a bit of it. If you want to buy it, you'll have to look for it in a small grocery store."

When Wang Bin heard this, his face immediately showed joy. As long as there was a place where he could buy it, it would be fine, so he wouldn't have to ask around.

"Aunt, take me to buy some gunpowder quickly. I can use it very much!"

"Okay! Sigh, but to be honest, that gunpowder is really useless. When it explodes, it can't even break the shield of a Qi Refining cultivator. Any explosive talisman is much more powerful than it."

Although Du Juan said this, she always listened to Wang Bin, so she took him out of the house again without saying a word.

The two walked for about a cup of tea and arrived at a street.

Wang Bin released his spiritual sense to sense around and found that most of the houses here did not even have the most basic protective formations, and most of the people living in them were mortals and low-level cultivators.

"My brother and I lived here for several years before we joined the Sihai Business Alliance." Du Juan said as they walked.

"Hello, Master Du!"

"Hello, Master Du!"

"Senior Du!"

Along the way, many mortals and Qi-refining cultivators saluted and greeted Du Juan with a very respectful attitude.

Du Juan nodded slightly in response, with a gentle smile on her face, and said to Wang Bin:

“Back in the day, everyone on this street took good care of me. Although most of those who helped me have passed away, their descendants are still around.

If they have any minor illness or disaster, I will come to help. For me, it is just a matter of performing a healing spell."

At this point, Du Juan's eyes revealed a trace of emotion, and he sighed softly: "The lifespan of mortals is really too short."

After a while, Du Juan brought Wang Bin to the largest store on the street.

"Manager Du, you're a rare guest! If you need anything, just let me know and I'll take care of it for you personally."

The shop owner was an old man in the early stage of Qi training. When he saw Du Juan, he immediately smiled and greeted her warmly.

Wang Bin looked around the shop and found that the items sold here were mainly items for mortals, and the few magical instruments were mainly farm tools such as hoes.

"Give me some gunpowder!"

Du Juan said, then turned to look at Wang Bin,

"Brother, how much do you want?"

"As much as you want!"

Wang Bin answered without hesitation.

"Okay! Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

The shopkeeper responded, turned around, and quickly ran to the back of the shop. Not long after, he came out with five storage bags in his hands.

"Manager Du, and this senior, all the gunpowder in our shop is currently here.

There are five storage bags in total, each bag contains about two thousand kilograms, a total of ten thousand kilograms.

I'll just charge you one hundred low-grade spirit stones, but you have to return this storage bag to me. It's a small business, and the cost price of each storage bag is twenty low-grade spirit stones.

And to be honest, I don't know what's going on these past few years, but this gunpowder has been selling incredibly well and the price has gone up. I definitely didn't charge you any more money!"

As the shopkeeper spoke, he looked at the two of them cautiously, fearing that they might not believe him.

Wang Bin thought to himself: What a bargain! Ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder only cost one hundred low-grade spirit stones. One spirit stone can buy hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder. No wonder the Four Seas Merchant Alliance disdains to do this kind of business.

"I'll give you one thousand low-grade spirit stones. The extra will be used as a deposit. Keep some for me next time you purchase more. Also, remember not to sell the gunpowder to anyone else in the future. This is for your own good."

Wang Bin took the five storage bags from the shopkeeper and counted out a thousand low-grade spirit stones and handed them to him.

After returning home, Wang Bin couldn't wait to start testing the power of gunpowder.

At the beginning, he made several large firecracker-like gunpowder devices based on his memory of firecrackers.

After it was ignited, there was a series of "crackling" sounds, which were deafening, but the actual destructive power was disappointing. It only made the surrounding air buzz, and caused almost no substantial damage to other things.

Wang Bin was not discouraged. He adjusted his thinking and changed the outer packaging to metal.

It is made to look like a grenade.

When tested again, the grenade exploded and iron pieces flew everywhere. However, it was frustrating that these iron pieces were unable to break the shield formed by the shield talisman, and not even a trace was left.

"How can this be?"

Wang Bin frowned, his heart full of doubts.

He had never noticed before that the monk's shield was so tough and had a certain elasticity, like an invisible and indestructible armor.

Wang Bin gritted his teeth and decided to increase the amount of gunpowder, making a bomb that was ten times the size of the previous one.

In order to prevent accidents, he specially went to the outside of Xihai City to conduct experiments. After all, if the power was too great and blew up Dujuan's house, it would be troublesome.

With a loud bang, the bomb exploded outside the city.

Wang Bin looked towards the explosion point with anticipation, but reality once again dealt him a heavy blow.

Only a small hole about ten centimeters deep was blown out on the ground. As for the shield of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was still intact, as if the explosion was just an insignificant farce to it.

Wang Bin was stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure out what was going on.

Could it be that the land in the world of immortal cultivation is so different from the land in the previous life?

He knew in his heart that there was definitely a difference, but he didn't expect the difference to be so huge.

"This is too outrageous!"

Wang Bin muttered to himself, "Such a big bomb, but it only has this much power. If you want to kill a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, you must use hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of gunpowder!

But a Foundation Establishment cultivator isn't a fool, how could he stand there and let you blow him up? Not to mention killing a Golden Core cultivator, that's simply a fantasy."

Wang Bin fell into deep thought. Is there something wrong with the composition of the gunpowder?

Perhaps the alchemist only uses it to ignite and assist combustion. If he wants to unleash greater power, he has to improve the formula himself.

In fact, the power of the explosion mainly comes from shock waves and fragment damage, but the effects of these on monks are greatly reduced.

Ordinary people have mortal bodies and can be easily injured by a strong impact. The fragments after the bomb explodes are extremely fast and have great lethality to them.

But it is different for cultivators. To some extent, they are the evolved form of humans.

Although the Qi Refining Stage only knows some magic spells and has enhanced fighting abilities, in theory, they are still mortal.

At least the life span has not changed significantly. The foundation-building stage is a leap forward in evolution. Not only does the life span double, but the cells, bones and even genes in the body may have evolved.

Although they still look human in appearance, they may not be the same species in essence.

The further back in time, the more miraculous this evolution becomes. This may be why gunpowder has little effect on them.

Wang Bin shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the gunpowder he bought was not powerful enough. He had to find time to slowly improve the formula of the gunpowder.

Anyway, the gunpowder he had was useless.

As for what other materials in the world of immortal cultivation can explode when mixed together and pose a threat to cultivators, I will have to wait until I have time to experiment slowly in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He originally thought he had found a powerful weapon, but he didn't expect it to be a false alarm.
