Chapter 92: Refining Jade Pills
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pill is something that can only be chanced upon by luck. No matter where you are, there’s no need to worry about no one fighting over it. However, the person who really doesn’t care about the price is the alchemist.” Zheng Jingshan smiled. “A supreme-grade pill is of extraordinary value to an alchemist. If he can comprehend a little from it, he might be able to improve his alchemy skills further. Just based on this, why would those alchemists care about mere tens of thousands of spirit stones?
Of the 10 supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills auctioned this time, nine of them were bought by alchemists or families that sponsor alchemists.
I plan to go to a market further away next time. I should be able to sell the pills for a high price.”
Pei Ling was enlightened and said with a smile, “Senior Brother is wise.”
It was a pleasant surprise that Zheng Jingshan knew how to earn spirit stones.
This meant that he would pay the sect’s fine earlier than expected.
However, there was a new problem.
After paying off his fine, his first priority would be to cultivate and not continue being a money tree.
“Senior Brother, during this period of time, I’ve been refining another batch of Bone Tempering Pills day and night.” With this thought, Pei Ling said to Zheng Jingshan, “It’s just that refining supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills takes too much effort, so I only saved 120.”
In fact, after deducting the ones he used for cultivation, he now had nearly 300 supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills.
However, since he did not need so many to pay the fine, Pei Ling had to hold back some.
Otherwise, Zheng Jingshan’s appetite would increase immediately. Wouldn’t he have to spend a lot of time refining pills in the future?
“120 pills?” Zheng Jingshan did not know the details of his alchemy. When he heard this, he did not doubt him at all. Instead, he was overjoyed. “Good, good, good! Junior Brother Pei, you’re really amazing! How is it? I told you back then that a fine of more than 70,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones was nothing. I was right, right?
There are so many supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills that ordinary small marketplaces won’t do. I’ll set off later for the market at the Ten Thousand Fathoms Sea.”
Pei Ling thanked him for his hard work and asked about a previous matter, “Senior Brother, the Stone Realm Faction...”
“This matter has already been resolved.” Zheng Jingshan waved his hand casually and said, “Senior Sister has been in seclusion until now. Recently, there’s news that her cultivation level has increased again. Now, the entire Clear River Faction can’t eat or sleep in peace because of this. The Stone Realm Faction won’t dare to find trouble at this time.
Besides, I’ve already compensated her.
This matter is already over. You don’t have to worry.”
At this point, Zheng Jingshan sized up Pei Ling and was slightly surprised. “It’s only been a month, but you’re already at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refinement?”
One had to know that when this kid absorbed the fire into his body, he had only relied on the Cold Marrow Fire to advance to the sixth level of Qi Refinement.
This cultivation speed was too fast!
He hurriedly warned Pei Ling, “Junior Brother Pei, with your talent, you’ll reach the Foundation Establishment stage sooner or later. There’s no need to rush for quick success.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I won’t do anything rash.” Pei Ling maintained his image as a genius and said seriously, “During this period of time, I’ve been cultivating step by step. There’s nothing else.”
“It’s good that you know your limits.” Zheng Jingshan nodded slightly.
The two of them spoke for a while more. Seeing that there was nothing else, Pei Ling took his leave.
After he left, Zheng Jingshan immediately poured out all the supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills to admire them. The patterns formed by the Cold Marrow Fire were exceptionally beautiful, making his gaze linger for a long time.
Pei Ling’s qualifications are truly astounding. He only advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refinement a month ago. Looking at the situation today, I’m afraid he’ll be breaking through to the late-stage Qi Refinement realm in a few days. After a while, Zheng Jingshan reluctantly put away the Bone Tempering Pill. Suddenly, he thought, I’ll see if I can get him a medium or higher grade jade pill this time. Hmm, his alchemy talent is outstanding. It’s best if I can get the formula for the jade pill.
If he could not exchange for middle-grade and above jade pills and pill formulas, he could only let Pei Ling buy ready-made jade pills from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
However, the price of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s Jade Pill Refining Formula was very high, almost several times that of the outside world. Moreover, it could only be bought after providing the Hundred Treasures Pavilion with a considerable number of pills.
As for refining jade pills, they were at most middle-grade, not even superior-grade, let alone supreme-grade.
It was not that there were no alchemists of this level in the sect, but such pills that were specially used for breaking through cultivation levels were too popular. Many people would stock up even if they and their juniors did not need them for the time being.
They could also rely on a large number of alchemists to ensure the supply of jade pills.
As for superior-grade and supreme-grade pills, they were limited by the level of skills and were rare to begin with.
Once they appeared on the market, they were often snatched up in an instant.
Not to mention Pei Ling, even Zheng Jingshan, who had Fairy Li’s backing, did not have the chance to bid for them if he received the news later.
Therefore, Zheng Jingshan hoped to gain something from this trip.
While he was planning for Pei Ling, Pei Ling had already returned to the outer sect’s Elixir Peak on the Corpse Cloud.
It doesn’t seem convenient to rent Corpse Cloud all the time. Should I buy a talisman artifact for transportation? As he walked along the mountain path towards the market, he happened to see someone making a hand seal and landing on the paper boat. Pei Ling thought to himself, But forget about the paper boat. It’s too unsafe.
Pei Hongnian’s paper boat attack left a deep impression on him. Pei Ling would never consider such a fragile talisman.
Forget it, I’ll settle the sect’s fine first. Pei Ling glanced at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and finally gave up on this idea. Anyway, I don’t need to leave Elixir Peak for the time being.
At the thought of this, he gave up on heading to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and went straight to the market.
Although he still had more than a hundred supreme-grade Bone Tempering Pills, considering his future cultivation time, Pei Ling decided to hoard more.
After purchasing the herbs, he went to the alchemy room and asked for a D-grade alchemy room. After using the system to refine pills, he cultivated as usual. “System, choose the [Bone Forging Art].”
System: “Ding-Dong! Smart Cultivation System is sincerely at your service...”
The familiar management cultivation began. Pei Ling was bored out of his mind as he considered his future plans.
However, at this moment, he felt the spiritual power in his meridians surge and change.
It was as if a nestling was trapped in an eggshell, and a feeling of love welled up in its heart.
Am I going to break through? Pei Ling was stunned before he rejoiced.
According to his original estimation, he would break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement in two days.
He did not expect it to come so quickly!
The system’s management cultivation was indeed efficient.
At the thought of this, Pei Ling calmed down and sensed carefully.
The spiritual power in his body surged like a tide under the system’s control, as if it was brewing some changes.
However, for some reason, this brewing seemed to be missing something and could not complete the final transformation.
Huh? Pei Ling was puzzled. There was no such situation when I broke through in the past... Could it be that after the upper echelons of the Qi Refinement realm, the time needed to break through has increased?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear. “Ding Dong! A lack of breakthrough pills to plant jade pills...”
Pei Ling: “!”
The system: “Ding-Dong! The system is looking for jade pills...”
The system: “Ding-Dong! The system will give you a superior-grade jade pill for free...”
In the next moment, Pei Ling stood up, pulled open the door of the alchemy room, and shot out!
