Chapter 105 Suffering for Ye Feng
[Having the experience of attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage in the previous simulation]
[You are well aware of your strengths and weaknesses. If your physical body can be further improved, it will greatly assist you in breaking through to the Core Formation stage.]
This led to the current scene of him stepping into the sixth level of the "Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique"
"Heavenly Tribulation..."
You did not immediately use legal means to resist.
After witnessing Da Chun defeat a fake Core Formation cultivator with a single punch, you also felt quite envious of third-tier body cultivators.
Even without the bloodline of an ancient saint, it would be extremely beneficial to have your physical body tempered by the heavenly tribulation.
【Om—】
The terrifying power of lightning pierced through your body.
Your expression changed slightly, and your magical power surged. While repairing your physical injuries, you tried your best not to dispel the heavenly lightning that was tempering your physique.
[Splash]
You extend your right hand and draw a talisman in the air. Soon, nine high-grade second-tier defensive talismans float around you.
[It continuously filters the power of the heavenly tribulation, keeping it within the limits that your physical body can withstand.]
The ability to draw talismans in the void is the source of your confidence to bravely face the Body Refinement Tribulation.
During the body-refining tribulation, any external force could cause the tribulation's power to surge.
For example, formations? Talismans? Magical artifacts, etc.
But drawing symbols in the air? That doesn't fall under the category of external force.
The talismans drawn rely on the artist's mastery of talismanic arts.
[Boom!]
[As heavenly lightning continued to fall]
You were as if you were being bathed in a thunderstorm.
The aura emanating from their physical bodies seemed to have undergone some kind of tempering.
[One hour later]
The dark clouds quickly dissipated.
And you successfully passed the Body Refinement Tribulation.
[Compared to the first time I faced the Body Refinement Tribulation, I relied entirely on magical cultivation methods to withstand the lightning.]
[This time, you intentionally used lightning to temper your body during the Heavenly Tribulation, but you ended up in a much more sorry state.]
"Late-stage Second-Tier Body Refinement!"
You continue to sit cross-legged, and your physical injuries are healing at a visible rate.
【"pity...
'
]
You sighed inwardly.
Although he intentionally allowed the heavenly lightning to temper his body, the resulting improvement in his physical physique exceeded normal levels.
However, you have not yet unleashed your physical potential or awakened any physical cultivation abilities.
"Perhaps I'll only be able to awaken my physical potential when I break through to the third tier of body cultivation?"
You thought to yourself.
[You were extremely envious of Da Chun's "shrinking the earth to an inch" technique in the last simulation.]
[Shrinking the earth to an inch is not a magic technique, so it doesn't require casting time or steps; it can be used with a single thought.]
This supernatural ability is extremely useful whether for a surprise attack or for escaping.
"However... my current strength..."
Your heart is pounding.
[A foundation-building cultivation technique at its peak, coupled with numerous other skills, such as drawing talismans in the void, creating talisman arrays, and currently mastering late-stage second-tier body refinement...]
If you were to face Master Tonghai again, even if you were still no match for him, you would at least have the ability to protect yourself and wouldn't be hunted down to your death.
Although Master Tonghai is only a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, he is still a Core Formation stage cultivator, and his strength surpasses that of the Foundation Establishment stage.
"To have achieved this level with your Foundation Establishment cultivation is probably unparalleled in the history of the Taiyuan Domain; there are very few Foundation Establishment cultivators who can surpass you."
After a brief moment of contemplation, your mind quickly returns to calm.
From beginning to end, you never considered Master Tonghai as your opponent.
Your goal is to form a flawless golden elixir and thus ascend to the ranks of True Monarchs.
[In the third year, you are nineteen years old]
Under your guidance, the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly.
At the same time, you also intend to reveal to others that your alchemy skills have reached the upper-level second rank.
[In a short time, the reputation of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce soared.]
A second-tier high-grade alchemist's influence is enough to reach Foundation Establishment level forces, and even Core Formation sects will take them seriously.
[In the fourth year, you are twenty years old]
[At the Purple Bamboo Forest Dojo, you are instructing Li Yan in her cultivation.]
[As a member of the Primordial Yin Body, even without focusing on cultivation, with your help over the past few years, Li Yan's cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining.]
[You estimate that it will take about six or seven years for Li Yan to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.]
At that time, one will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
With the aptitude of the Primordial Yin Body, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage would be as easy as drinking water for him, if not nearly so.
Moreover, you have constant oversight and support in areas such as Foundation Establishment Pills.
The day Li Yan enters the Foundation Establishment stage will be the day you take the first strand of Primordial Yin Qi and attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage.
【"Owner......"】
[Inside the dojo, Li Yan's palace robes were half-undone, her ribbons loose, her slender arms wrapped around your neck, her breath sweet as orchids against your body, exuding a seductive charm, "Take Yan'er..."]
[After years of being alone together, a single man and a single woman, coupled with extreme admiration and trust for you]
Li Yan, unable to control her emotions, wanted to take the final step with you and give you her everything.
Looking at Li Yan's beautiful face, you also felt a surge of heat rising from your dantian.
"As expected of the Primordial Yin Body, even before its awakening, it's already so alluring."
Although you experienced some physical reactions, your mind remained calm and composed, and you began to offer your opinions.
"Yan'er, don't rush. Important things should be done later." You picked up Li Yan and placed her on the bed. "Wait another five or six years. As long as Yan'er reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, anything is possible..."
"That's what Master said..."
[Li Yan's eyes were soft and alluring as she nestled in your arms.]
[In the fifth year, you are twenty-one years old]
[Li Yan breaks through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, entering the late stage of Qi Refining]
The day you attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage is drawing ever closer.
[In the sixth year, you are twenty-two years old]
All developments are under your control.
[In the seventh year, you are twenty-three years old]
[Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce base, you may casually sit in the main seat]
[Yu Rou and two core members of the Chamber of Commerce stood respectfully below, awaiting your instructions.]
[Based on the supply and demand data collected during the third simulation for this time period across the entire Taiyuan Domain, you made the decision to hoard goods and then casually mentioned it.]
[These so-called chambers of commerce are nothing more than profiting from buying low and selling high with spirit stones.]
[And you possess the development trajectory of the Taiyuan Domain for the next one or two hundred years, and in the last simulation, you focused on collecting information and intelligence in this area.]
Using this method for business is more than just divine assistance.
You looked at You Rou.
"President."
[You Rou spoke in a low, respectful voice]
Over the past few years, You Rou has gradually come to know your methods.
My respect and admiration for you grows ever stronger.
"How's it going in Azure Moon Immortal City?"
[You asked]
[Since you're already at the peak of Foundation Establishment in this simulation, you naturally dare not stay in Biyue Immortal City any longer, fearing that Biyue Zhenren will detect your powerful aura of Mountain and Sea magic.]
Therefore, it is impossible to personally soak in the Azure Moon Pool to improve one's spiritual root aptitude.
However, not being able to personally bathe in the Jade Moon Pool doesn't mean we can't extract the water from the pool so you can bathe in it outside.
After the third simulation, you are certain that there is no problem with the Jade Moon Pool.
"Because she wants to cultivate her own reputation," True Immortal Biyue would not resort to such methods, otherwise, if discovered, the goodwill she had accumulated over the past two hundred years would certainly be affected.
Transporting the water from Biyue Pool to the outside world definitely cannot be done through normal channels.
This depends on whether anyone within Azure Moon Immortal City can accomplish it.
"Guild Master, the Pill Hall of Azure Moon Immortal City is willing to make a deal with you..."
Yu Rou immediately replied.
"The Pill Palace..."
A strange feeling involuntarily arose in your heart.
[In the last simulation, you joined the Immortal City Pill Palace.]
"The methods of the Pill Hall..."
[You have no doubt that Dan Dian was able to secretly transport the water from the Azure Moon Pool out of the pond.]
[You should know that the Pill Hall itself has quotas for soaking in the Azure Moon Pool, so secretly pocketing some Azure Moon Pool water shouldn't be too difficult.]
[Perhaps the alchemy hall is responsible for refining the water in the Azure Moon Pool.]
[True Master Biyue only provides the pill formulas; everything else is handled by the Pill Hall.]
"What does the Pill Master want?"
[You asked]
"The Dan Palace said they hope you, President, will join them..."
]
[You Rou said]
"I can join, but I won't go to Azure Moon Immortal City."
[You said calmly]
Even without this incident, you would probably have found an opportunity to make contact with some force within Azure Moon Immortal City.
[Since you're planning to get your hands on that Heavenly Infant Fruit in this simulation, you'll inevitably need to make arrangements around True Person Biyue.]
[Half a month later, you received a response from the Pill Palace, agreeing to your request.]
At the same time, the Pill Palace will also send someone to deliver the Azure Moon Pool water you requested.
One month later, the alchemist who came to deliver water from the Azure Moon Pool arrived at the merchant guild's base.
"Hahaha, Master Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you in person." You recognize the alchemist who has arrived; it's Elder Wu of the Alchemy Hall.
Apart from the Hall Master and two Deputy Hall Masters, the Pill Hall is basically managed by four elders, one of whom is Elder Wu.
[In the third simulation, your joining the Pill Hall was achieved with Elder Wu's approval.]
"Elder Wu."
You have a smile on your face.
Elder Wu was also extremely polite.
In the third simulation, Elder Wu was quite polite to you as well.
But that kind of politeness is based on the higher-ups taking care of the lower-ups.
However, you now clearly feel that Elder Wu truly places you on an equal footing.
Once you and Elder Wu are seated, you take the initiative to ask, "How did the Pill Hall obtain the water from the Azure Moon Pool? Will this attract the attention of the City Lord?"
"Don't worry, Master Wang."
Elder Wu immediately said, "Each time the City Lord refines the water from the Azure Moon Pool, he entrusts it to Vice Hall Master Mu. This time, Vice Hall Master Mu took out some pool water, and no one will know..."
【"I see."】
You nodded slightly.
This is basically the same as your guess.
"Master Wang Dan has worried himself sick over his descendants..." Elder Wu sighed softly.
You traded the Jade Moon Pool water in the name of your offspring.
No one doubts this.
After all, what you've revealed is your Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation and a second-tier high-grade alchemy skill.
With such achievements, how could one possibly need to use the waters of the Azure Moon Pool to enhance their spiritual root aptitude?
Generally speaking, those who use the water of the Azure Moon Pool are assumed to have a spiritual root aptitude of mid-to-low grade.
[Next, you continued chatting with Elder Wu for a while.]
After Elder Wu confirmed your willingness to join the Pill Hall, he immediately took out the prepared Azure Moon Pool water.
[And the many requirements you have for joining the Pill Hall are nothing in Elder Wu's eyes.]
[All I need to do is refine some high-grade second-tier pills periodically, as invited by the Pill Hall.]
Furthermore, the Pill Hall will provide sufficient rewards for these second-tier high-grade pills.
Whether you're in the Immortal City or not... that's not a big deal.
There are also many alchemists in the Pill Hall, who are permanent residents of families or forces outside the palace.
[Transaction complete. You may see Elder Wu off.]
[Also, a review of this transaction]
In fact, the water of the Azure Moon Pool is indeed very valuable to cultivators in the Qi Refining stage and a small number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
But for most Foundation Establishment cultivators, it's not that different.
After all, the water of the Azure Moon Pool can only raise a spiritual root's aptitude to the superior grade at most.
[And half of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators have top-grade spiritual roots.]
[Being able to exchange the water of the Azure Moon Pool for a second-tier high-grade alchemist to join the Pill Hall is definitely a win-win situation.]
The role of a second-tier high-grade alchemist joining the Pill Hall is not limited to simply refining some second-tier high-grade pills.
[This further enhanced the influence of the Pill Hall.]
The more second-tier high-grade alchemists the Pill Hall gains, the greater its influence will become.
Of course, by joining the Pill Hall, you can also leverage its power to serve your own purposes.
This is essentially a mutually beneficial arrangement.
That very night, you began to soak in the Jade Moon Pool.
You lie down in the viscous, azure waters of the Azure Moon Pool, close your eyes, and begin to absorb the strange power within the water.
[A few days later]
Open your eyes.
"A superior spiritual root!"
A smile appeared on your face.
The results of this soaking exceeded your expectations.
[Directly upgrade your mid-grade spiritual root to a high-grade spiritual root]
Of course, as you know, a superior-grade spiritual root is the limit.
External forces can enhance the quality of a spiritual root, with the upper limit being superior grade.
[Achieving a higher-grade Earth-level spiritual root cannot be done through external forces.]
But you're quite satisfied.
[To have reached this point with only a low-grade spiritual root talent is already legendary.]
[Upgrading your spiritual root to the superior grade means that a certain weakness in your breakthrough to the Core Formation stage has been somewhat addressed.]
Next, you pondered your attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage.
First of all, Li Yan has already entered the late stage of Qi Refining, and it will only take her four or five years to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining perfection.
Once you've cultivated to the perfect ninth level of Qi Refining, you can attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
In other words, your breakthrough to the Core Formation stage will be in four or five years.
Four or five years is practically just around the corner.
[And the auxiliary methods you use to break through to the Core Formation stage—]
[This can be counted as the first burst of primordial yin energy after Jin Dan and Li Yan entered the Foundation Establishment stage.]
[Also included are the Fire Essence Dates retrieved from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.]
"Golden Elixir Formation, Primordial Yin Qi, Fire Essence Jujube..."
You frowned slightly, feeling that there were too few Core Formation spiritual materials.
[In the last simulation, you had the "Heavenly Purifying Water" aid, didn't you?]
"That's enough."
You let out a soft sigh.
"Let Ye Feng suffer a little longer!"
You took a step and left the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters.
[They were last seen on a hill several hundred miles away from Wushanfang City.]
[He grabbed Ye Feng, who had just turned ten]
