The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Although Venerable Jin Guang's cultivation level is not high, he is the last descendant of the Qin family, a family of immortal cultivators, and the value of these things far exceeds that of rogue cultivators.

Lu Yao would not sell the flying sword talisman. This thing is very valuable, and once it is used, it is gone forever. Moreover, it is a talisman that can threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators. Lu Yao is not that short of spirit stones.

Half an hour after Lu Yao set up his stall, an elderly cultivator stopped in front of it.

He glanced at the martial arts manuals on the stall and then spoke directly.

"How much is this Golden Spirit Manual?"

The elderly cultivator was clearly a rogue cultivator, and he was not buying this cultivation technique for his own practice, but most likely for his descendants.

"Forty low-grade spirit stones."

Lu Yao had already learned about the price of the cultivation technique beforehand; the price he sold was not very high, only an average price.

The Golden Spirit Technique is not the worst cultivation method; its sophistication surpasses even the Everlasting Spring Technique, so forty spirit stones are not very expensive.

"Okay! I'll buy it."

The elderly cultivator hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and bought it directly.

After the money and goods were settled, the elderly cultivator left immediately.

After storing the spirit stones in his Origin Space, Lu Yao took out another Golden Spirit Manual and placed it on the stall.

The techniques and such things are not uncopyable, so they can be resold.

However, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to sell the cultivation techniques at stalls like Lu Yao's, either because they are of low grade or their authenticity is hard to guarantee.

Therefore, many cultivators still prefer to buy from shops certified by the seven major sects, but the prices will be much higher.

It is not common for elderly cultivators to come to street stalls to buy cultivation techniques.

Soon, all the Golden Bell Shield talismans on Lu Yao's stall were sold, earning him more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones.

A typical low-grade yellow talisman costs around five spirit stones, while a defensive one might cost a few more.

After spending a whole day, he had only obtained a little over fifty spirit stones, so Lu Yao stopped setting up his stall.

He rented a cave dwelling in the market for ten days with two spirit stones and then began his cultivation.

Overnight, Lu Yao's cultivation level improved once again.

"Haotian Pearl! Investigate!"

Name: Lu Yao

Lifespan: 46/9847

Spiritual Roots: Water, Wood, Thunder

Realm: Entering the Saintly Realm (Limit)

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 4

The Origin of the World:

Cultivation techniques: Water Control Technique, Xuanwu True Skill, Sacred Heart Technique (incomplete)...

Treasures: Dragon Vein, Yata Mirror, Flying Sword Talisman...

He successfully reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, but Lu Yao still felt that the speed was too slow.

Cultivation with spirit stones is not very efficient; you still need to use pills.

Han Li's supply of Huanglong Pills is almost exhausted, so Lu Yao will have to find a way to buy higher-grade pills himself.

However, the pills used for cultivation are quite expensive, and Lu Yao is currently short of money, so he has to give up for the time being.

"We need to find a way to earn spirit stones."

Lu Yao scratched his head, suddenly feeling like even a hero couldn't be brought down by a penny.

It's true that you can quickly acquire spirit stones by robbing cultivators, but once you start, you might not be able to stop. If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. One day you might encounter a high-level cultivator who's pretending to be weak but actually strong, and you won't even know how you died.

Therefore, Lu Yao ultimately decided to start with the various arts of cultivating immortality.

The arts of cultivating immortality involve many aspects, the most prominent of which are alchemy, formations, talismans, and artifacts.

The most profitable of all is alchemy, but the investment is also very large.

Even for ordinary cultivators with alchemy talent, it would take several years to even begin to grasp the basics, and the amount of spirit stones spent during that time would be in the thousands. It's something that most independent cultivators simply can't manage.

Therefore, most alchemists are trained by sects, and independent alchemists are extremely rare.

Han Li was able to continue making progress on the path of alchemy only because of the existence of the little green bottle; otherwise, the subsequent expenses would have been devastating.

As for arrays, talismans, and artifacts, they are slightly better, but still not much different.

But Lu Yao didn't have these worries; he said he wanted everything.

With the Haotian Pearl, mastering the mere arts of cultivation is a piece of cake.

Soon Lu Yao left the cave and headed towards the market area where vendors could freely set up stalls.

Lu Yao walked around and finally saw a stall selling alchemy techniques.

"Haotian Pearl! Appraisal!"

Item: Huang's Alchemy Method (incomplete)

Grade: Medium Yellow

Introduction: It contains a detailed explanation of an alchemy technique, but the technique is crude and the success rate of alchemy is low. It records two alchemy formulas.

"How much is it?"

Lu Yao picked up a jade slip and asked the stall owner.

"Forty low-grade spirit stones."

The stall owner was a masked man dressed in black. The stall had a wide variety of items, including weapons, martial arts manuals, medicinal herbs, and even storage bags.

These things are clearly of dubious origin.

"Could it be less?"

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly; he wanted to negotiate the price.

"If you like it, buy it or not."

The masked vendor remained calm, showing no intention of lowering the price.

"I bought it."

Lu Yao touched his nose, surprised that his first attempt at bargaining had failed.

However, forty spirit stones is not considered expensive for a method of alchemy. In a proper shop, such a method of alchemy could sell for over one hundred spirit stones.

After handing over forty spirit stones, Lu Yao turned around and left, returning to his cave.

"not bad."

Lu Yao lowered the jade slip from his forehead, feeling quite satisfied.

Although this alchemy method is only at the entry level, it can only be used to refine pills for Qi Refining cultivators.

The two pill formulas recorded are Huanglong Dan and Ningqi Dan.

These are all commonly used pills for Qi Refining stage cultivators. The Yellow Dragon Pill is the lowest grade pill for Qi Refining stage cultivators, the kind that's everywhere. Rogue cultivators usually take this kind of pill.

The Qi Condensation Pill is slightly more advanced, and it can condense mana faster than the Yellow Dragon Pill. It is also more expensive on the market.

"Haotian Pearl! Upgrade!"

Without further hesitation, Lu Yao immediately used the Haotian Pearl to begin comprehending this alchemy method.

A milky white light enveloped the area, but it slowly dissipated within a few minutes.

The origin of the world: →

He spent over 60,000 World Origin Points to directly elevate this alchemy method to perfection, and simultaneously mastered the refining methods of Yellow Dragon Pill and Qi Condensation Pill.

"Haotian Pearl! Investigate!"

Name: Lu Yao

Lifespan: 46/9847

Spiritual Roots: Water, Wood, Thunder

Realm: Entering the Saintly Realm (Limit)

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 4

The Origin of the World:

Cultivation techniques: Water Control Technique, Xuanwu True Skill, Sacred Heart Technique (incomplete)...

Dan Yi: Yellow-grade, medium quality

Treasures: Dragon Vein, Yata Mirror, Flying Sword Talisman...

With the power of the Haotian Pearl, Lu Yao's alchemy skills directly reached the mid-grade Yellow level. As long as he had the formula, Lu Yao was able to successfully make pills with a 100% success rate.

Thinking of the Yellow Dragon Pill and the Qi Condensation Pill, Lu Yao recalled the techniques and materials for refining the two pills, as if they were incredibly familiar to him.

Now, all that's missing before we can start refining elixirs is the alchemy furnace and the medicinal herbs.
