Chapter 350 - 170: Lead Trouble Away, Foundation Establishment of Divine Soul_2
The proficiency of the Divine Intimidation Technique has made only a slight improvement. Even after casting it six or seven times and absorbing seven souls, it has only just gained one proficiency.
To advance from beginner to proficient, who knows how long it would take.
The delightful change, it was not the improvement in proficiency of the Divine Intimidation Technique.
Instead, it was the promotion of his divine soul!
After taking the Tongyou Pill overnight, his divine soul has soared considerably!
However, that sudden surge left him feeling as if his brain was swollen and hazy for a while.
Even during cultivation and pill refinement, he found it difficult to concentrate.
It felt as if he had suddenly gorged himself on food and was too bloated. His body couldn’t adapt for a while, and he couldn’t concentrate on anything, let alone exercising or learning.
However, after cultivating the Divine Intimidation Technique, Luo Chen keenly noticed that the surging divine soul…
No longer had a feeling of emptiness, but had become more solid instead.
“Tongyou Pill increases Divine Soul Endowment.”
“The Divine Intimidation Technique polishes and refines, transforming the tumescent divine soul into a flawless one.”
“In this way, I can quickly alleviate the after-effects of taking the Tongyou Pill, and my divine soul will become even more robust.”
Upon reaching this conclusion, Luo Chen couldn’t conceal his excitement.
This implies that the frequency at which he initially estimated that he could only take one Tongyou Pill every half month can now be reduced to once every
ten days.
Enhancing the frequency of elixir usage may not seem very useful and might consume a lot of elixirs.
But in reality, its effects are too massive.
Take the Qi Nurturing Pill and Dusting Pills as examples.
At first, Luo Chen could only digest one pill a day.
At that time, he didn’t have much money, so this speed was even too fast.
But as he grew richer, this speed instead hindered his cultivation.
It wasn’t until later when Longevity Technique reached the Grandmaster Level and his meridians expanded that he could digest two pills a day.
Presently, Luo Chen even finds this to be too slow.
If it could increase to three or four pills a day, that would be perfect.
In summary, Luo Chen’s method of cultivation is to “exchange resources for time”!
Every time he cultivates, two Dusting Pills cost forty Spirit Stones, a stem of calming incense is priced at twelve, a dose of Nourishing Original Liquid costs ten, and using the Spirit Gathering Array to pull the Wood Type Spirit Qi requires five Spirit Stones, adding up to sixty-seven Spirit Stones in total.
This doesn’t even factor the rare occasions when he swallowed an Ascendant Grade Jade Marrow Pill, which should add another ten Spirit Stones.
If auxiliary cultivation resources such as Moonlight Grass and Spirit Vein Caves are included,
The resources Luo Chen consumes daily, converted to Spirit Stones, almost amount to eighty Spirit Stones.
Counting it monthly, it’s more than two thousand, and annually, that’s two to three thousand!
In addition, there are Spirit Pills for improving divine souls, physique, and eyesight, Deficiency Repairing Meridians Fluid to repair meridian injuries caused by excessive cultivation, and so on!
His calculations don’t even include these elixirs yet.
If they were added, he is just a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, but the resources he consumes annually amount to tens of thousands!
What does this imply?
This number of Spirit Stones is sufficient for a normal cultivator to cultivate from scratch all the way to Qi Refinement Finalization!
Looking at Luo Chen as a big spender,
But in reality, with this amount of money, normal cultivators have to spend decades to cultivate to Qi Refinement Finalization.
However, Luo Chen spent less than two years on it!
This is what it means to exchange resources for time.
Only Luo Chen can do this, others can’t even imagine it, even sect disciples find it difficult to achieve.
Because Luo Chen is a “respected Pill Refiner”.
He has the strength and wealth to let him surpass the Dual Spirit Roots with inferior aptitude, and even compare with the cultivation speed of a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator.
Even then, Luo Chen still thinks his resource utilization rate is not high enough.
If the frequency of pill digestion per day could increase further, that would be even better.
When Luo Chen returned to the Luo Tian Creed, a guest had just arrived.
It was Nangong Qin, the young master of the Nangong Family.
Gu Caiyi was receiving him.
“Didn’t we agree that we would deliver the goods to you? Why did you have to bother coming here yourself?”
“Cough cough…”
Nangong Qin’s face seemed slightly pale, he shook his head and said,
“The Nangong Family has recently imposed a lockdown and may be closing the family for a while, so I need a larger quantity of Jade Marrow Pills, and I had to come in person.”
Outside the hall.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen’s brows raised.
The Nangong Family has imposed a lockdown?
Inside the hall.
Jade us!”
Gu Caiyi said with difficulty. “We have a fixed quota for each family’s Marrow Pills, suddenly tripling your order would make it difficult for
“There’s nothing difficult about it.” Nangong Qin took out a bag. “We don’t want a discount, we can purchase at the original price.”
For the established Foundation Establishment Families, the Luo Tian Creed directly provided them Gold VIP treatment.
They not only offered delivery services but also gave an 80% purchase discount. In other words, a bottle of Jade Marrow Pill sells for fifty Spirit Stones on the market, but the Foundation Establishment Families only need to spend forty Spirit Stones to buy it.
This move not only aimed to capture the elixir market but also showed goodwill
to the major clans.
Now the Nangong Family does not want that discount; the loss is not just ten
Spirit Stones.
Fifty bottles per month, now suddenly requiring two hundred bottles, the loss adds up to a full two thousand Spirit Stones!
Gu Caiyi was somewhat tempted.
However, the demand for elixirs in the market currently is very high.
The black market is circulating Qi Nurturing Pills at very high prices, it’s a great opportunity for them to consolidate their market position.
During her hesitations, Luo Chen stepped into the hospitality hall.
With hearty laughter, he said, “Since there is such sincerity, why don’t we do them a favor?”
“Caiyi, send someone to bring two hundred bottles of Jade Marrow Pills.”
