For example, in the Luo Tian Mountains, one would need to be at least a Martial Saint to even exchange blows with cultivators.

At the current pace, it will take at least another six months to reach the peak of the Profound Manifestation Realm...

In terms of speed alone, it is already a rare sight in the world.

But not enough.

He needs to be quicker to deal with the situation that's about to unfold.

Including the shamanistic religions of the grasslands!

Ten days in Yunzhou.

Millions of people died.

Such a large-scale blood sacrifice is probably not something that ordinary people should do. In addition, after years of recuperating, who knows what will happen after the war starts? Breaking through to the Martial Saint realm is really imminent!

Since martial artists at the Transcendent Realm are not very useful in the cultivation world, this pill recipe is not too expensive, costing exactly twenty low-grade spirit stones.

However, we still need to gather the necessary alchemy furnace and materials.

"If you're looking for a pill-refining furnace, I recommend this one. It costs two hundred spirit stones."

The female cultivator explained, "Enough to refine all first-tier pills."

"..."

Chen Sanshi felt a toothache and was greatly disappointed.

Do you need so many spirit stones to start your cultivation journey in the world of immortality?

Right.

If it were that easy, no one would do jobs like mining or farming.

He tentatively asked one last time, "Is it necessary to use a specially made alchemy furnace for alchemy?"

Would an incense burner from a cult of incense be acceptable?

If possible, he could try to get a sip back after he gets back, and then find a way to remove the tracking marks.

The answer was no.

"Of course, a specific alchemy furnace must be used. The quality of the furnace will affect the yield and quality of the pills. Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to refine pills by simply taking any piece of iron used for making magical artifacts, shaping it into a container, and doing so?"

"Ok."

Chen Sanshi was not surprised. This was evidenced by the fact that the effects of refining the Linghe ointment using the Xuan Tie cauldron and the incense burner were no different. Since that was the case, he could only buy the in-stock product.

Fortunately, the price is relatively cheap; you can buy one for five spirit stones.

Do you have any pills that can help you break through to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm?

"The late stage of the Transcendent Realm, which is a first-grade high-quality pill, is naturally available."

The female cultivator held the porcelain bottle in her slender hands and introduced it: "This pill is called 'True Martial Pill'. It also comes from the Hundred Pill Workshop. Each pill costs two hundred spirit stones. After taking it, those with sufficient aptitude can greatly shorten the time required for cultivation. Even cultivators with insufficient aptitude have a one in a hundred chance of breaking through to the True Power Realm."

two hundred?

It's priced the same as an alchemy furnace; it's outrageously expensive.

But think about it...

The precious thing about this elixir is that it seems to have a one percent chance of allowing someone with insufficient aptitude to break through to the Martial Saint realm.

After becoming a Martial Saint, one can gain a place in Daze Market.

It's probably designed specifically for martial arts practitioners who lack the necessary aptitude to gamble.

With such a low probability, I wonder if anyone would be willing to gamble.

Talk about it.

The price difference of the required resources alone is enough to show that the first and second realms of martial arts are completely different levels of existence, probably worlds apart, and likely even related to realms above Martial Saint.

After all, first-stage Transcendent Martial Artists are basically unable to withstand magical attacks, and their role in the cultivation world is really limited.

His mid-grade spirit stones are worth at most thirty spirit stones.

It's impossible to afford it.

At the very least, if one can afford the "Nourishing Meridian Pill" and quickly break through to the Great Perfection of the Profound Image Realm, then the trip won't be in vain.

Chen Sanshi immediately took out a mid-grade spirit stone.

There wasn't much spiritual energy left, so I could only exchange it for 32 low-grade spirit stones. I then spent another 20 spirit stones to buy four Nourishing Meridian Pills, leaving me with a final 14 spirit stones.

Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand.

After the money and goods were exchanged.

Chen Sanshi packed his things and rode Qianxun away from Daze Market.

On his way down the mountain, he saw the busy figures of the monks in the shantytown.

Some returned carrying demonic beasts, their bodies bearing wounds.

Some returned home covered in dust and dirt, recounting to their companions the torment and sudden dangers in the spirit stone mine.

Some cultivators also returned carrying the corpses of their Daoist partners, their expressions somber.

"Your cave dwelling lease has expired!"

"Give me a few more days of leniency, and I'll go accept the bounty. I can gather enough spirit stones within a month!"

"Enough talk! Then come back to rent again in a month!"

Without saying a word, several law enforcement officers drove the rogue cultivator out of the market.

The scene unfolding before his eyes only strengthened his resolve to leave this place. It seemed that to gain a foothold in the cultivation world, he either needed to break through to the True Power realm in martial arts or master a cultivation technique.

Otherwise, one will fall into a vicious cycle of endless struggle.

He still has a lot to do in Liangzhou, and with the jade token in hand, he can travel freely in the future without having to wait fifty years. He might as well wait until he breaks through to the Martial Saint realm before returning.

Leave Osawa-bo Market.

Chen Sanshi returned to Xiaoshi Village.

"you……"

Old Man Li was somewhat surprised: "Master Chen, weren't you going to seek immortality?"

"I've finished searching, but none of them are right for me. I'm getting ready to leave."

Chen Sanshi said politely, "It's getting late. I'd like to stay overnight at Uncle Li's house and leave at dawn tomorrow. Is that alright?"

He was new to the world of cultivation.

Naturally, one wouldn't dare to stay overnight in the wild; it's best to have a place to stay.

"Getting ready to leave?"

This was the first time Old Man Li had ever seen an outsider leave on his own initiative.

But no matter what, this person was not someone he dared to offend, so he quickly invited the person into the house.

Chen Sanshi discovered that there was an extra basket of eggs in the house.

“I also have a granddaughter, who is already married.”

Old Li poured him some hot water. "She became a concubine for someone in the city. The maid takes care of the family and brings things back every now and then. Thanks to her, life has actually been pretty good these past two years."

"Old woman, quickly get out the lard and make this immortal/hero stir-fry some meat with eggs."

The elderly couple got busy.

After dinner.

Chen Sanshi swallowed a Nourishing Pill, found a secluded bamboo grove in the village, and began practicing his cultivation, using a bamboo pole as a spear.

A pill that costs five spirit stones.

But it's a genuine elixir!

The moment he swallowed it, he felt a comfortable coolness spread throughout his body. He experienced virtually no pain like that caused by ordinary strong medicines. As he practiced the technique, most of the medicinal power gradually concentrated in his eight extraordinary meridians, nourishing them while continuously improving the purity of his internal energy.

"Crack!"

The bamboo stick could not withstand the force of the attack and instantly turned into countless wood chips that flew everywhere.

But once you've reached this stage in martial arts training, you no longer need a weapon in your hand to practice.

not to mention.

Fist techniques and spear techniques are inherently interconnected.

"We're about to break through!"

Chen Sanshi was deeply moved; the speed of his breakthrough far exceeded his expectations.

Every time he threw a punch, it created a terrifying shockwave.
