The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 131 Pill
“Confidence.”

Yaoguang pondered.

His understanding of the paths of body refining, qi refining, and spirit refining flashed through his mind.

After a while, he spoke again: "In ancient times, the distinction between body training, qi training, and spirit training was not so clear. The reason why so many industries were divided is that the demand has changed. The invasion of the Moon Demon Empire has made people urgently need to obtain the strongest combat capability in the shortest time, so various major cultivation systems have been refined according to the areas in which different people are good at."

He paused, then quickly opened his mind: "Perhaps at this stage of great practitioners, these paths and professions are divided very detailed, but what about the Golden Core Realm? Are the boundaries between physical cultivation, sword cultivation, magic cultivation, and spiritual cultivation still so clear? What about above? When a practitioner collapses the source of his own power into a black hole, whether it is physical cultivation, qi cultivation, or spiritual cultivation, what is the difference?"

He smiled and said, "It's like there are many good things on sale in a mall, and I want every one of them, but I don't have enough money, so I can only buy the one with the best value for money. But if the money is so much that it's just a number, and I buy everything in the mall, do I still need to worry about this problem?"

After these words were spoken, not only Zong Lian, but even everyone else in the field was speechless.

After a while, Zong Lian did not speak, but the woman beside him laughed: "It turns out that the character of this Yaoguang Saint Lord has already surpassed that of great practitioners. He has set his sights on the Golden Core Realm and even the Cave Void Realm. He is so confident and has high aspirations."

"This is not confidence, this is arrogance and ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth."

The man next to her said.

"Perhaps, his understanding of the cultivation world is still stuck in the era of several hundred years ago."

The man who called himself Chen Shu seemed to have lost interest in fighting him. "He thought that with his talent, he could easily cultivate to the Golden Core. But how could he know how much the current Golden Core Realm has changed compared to the Golden Core Realm hundreds of years ago? If a current great cultivator were to face a Golden Core from hundreds of years ago, that Golden Core would probably not be able to survive even one of its innate magic spells."

As he spoke, he was somewhat puzzled: "Hasn't the Cangwu League been holding meetings in recent years to discuss redefining the concept of foundation building, calling the oldest foundation building the first generation of foundation building, the foundation building of the new era the second generation of foundation building, those who have built a Taoist foundation the third generation of foundation building, and those who have built an immortal foundation the fourth generation of foundation building? Hasn't it been passed yet?"

"No way. I heard that they are going to change the foundation building stage to the ninth level of the alchemy path? Implement the process of 'forming the elixir' in advance, improve and integrate it into the current foundation building stage, and avoid the problem of forming the elixir too late and failing to prolong life... After all, even if many people are developing in this direction, the life span of the foundation building stage is difficult to break the upper limit of 300 years."

"Integrating the Dan-forming process into the foundation-building process? Doesn't that mean that the foundation-building process can also enjoy a lifespan of four to five hundred years, just like the Dan-forming process?"

Several core disciples in the field quickly started communicating.

Almost no one paid any attention to Yaoguang who made such big talk.

Seeing this, Zong Yan became a little anxious.

He could tell that several of his senior brothers and sisters seemed to be doing it on purpose, but...

He saw Yaoguang's talent. He couldn't say he had reached the Golden Core Realm, but it was by no means a luxury for him to step into the Star Lord level, which was the realm of great practitioners.

Just as he was anxious about how to start, Zong Lian spoke.

"It's a good thing to have aspirations, but...as a person, you should not be too ambitious."

The leader of Bailian Sect glanced at Yaoguang and said, "When I first came to Cangwu Realm, I was like you, thinking that I was a genius, not inferior to anyone else. But it was not until I joined Qi Sect that I realized how many geniuses there are. Who among those who can stand here and take root here is not a genius?"

He tapped the handle of the chair lightly: "You don't have to rush to draw conclusions. Stay in Bailian Sect first, and then go to Jiuding Sect's assessment office to take a look. After you have finished, consider the next direction, whether to join Jiuding Sect, or join Bailian Sect, or... stick to your decision and set up your own sect."

After listening to this, Yaoguang vaguely understood what Zong Lian meant.

Compared to letting him set up his own sect, Zong Lian would rather let him stay in Bai Lian Sect.

But if he fails to set up his own sect, Yaoguang can still choose to join the Jiuding Sect.

So he couldn't say these words.

He would only speak frankly after at least making sure that Yaoguang really had no intention of joining the Jiuding Sect.

At that moment, Yaoguang didn't say anything.

Temporarily staying in Bailian Gate.

The next morning, Zong Yan and Ji Pingtian came up to him and said, "Saint Master Yaoguang, are you planning to go to the Jiuding Sect's branch today or..."

"Just call me Yaoguang."

Yaoguang said, "I saw a medicine shop on the way here yesterday. It sells a wide variety of medicines. Let's go take a look."

"Is it the Immortal Master Building? That is a branch of a large international group in the Immortal Alliance. There are indeed many kinds of elixirs in it. There are only four of them in the entire Jiuxiao Territory, but..."

Zong Yan paused and said, "The price is very high, and I only accept spirit stones."

"Let's see and then talk."

Yaoguang Road.

At that moment, Ji Pingtian and Zong Yan accompanied Yaoguang to this attic.

As soon as he entered the Zhengxian Tower, Yaoguang once again sensed the changes in his surroundings.

It seems that even the air here has a calming effect.

And the interior space is actually larger than it looks from the outside.

"The effect of the formation."

Yaoguang said in his heart.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Soon, a woman with bright clothes and fair skin came up.

At first glance, Yaoguang thought she was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The sixth level of Qi Refining can transform acquired nature into innate nature. No matter the appearance, skin or body shape, they will be significantly improved and will be in line with the woman in front of him.

But when he sensed it carefully, he found that it was not the case.

But it was true. The woman looked to be in her twenties. She was so young, at the sixth level of Qi Refining, that she would probably have a chance to compete for a place as a formal disciple of Jiuding Sect. How could she be a waiter here? "I want to see some pills for the seventh level of Body Refining and above."

Yaoguang Road.

"Okay, this way please."

The woman smiled and took Yaoguang towards the high-end medicine area.

Zong Yan, who was standing by, seemed to see Yao Guang's curiosity, and he slightly stimulated his divine consciousness and said, "Some practitioners have clear employment intentions and will practice special techniques. For example, if a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator refines Qi and transforms it into a spirit, he can also apply for a job in the energy department. Similarly, the service staff of the Zhengxian Building is required to have an innate body, so many cultivators will take medicine a few years in advance and use the power of their divine consciousness to stimulate the medicinal properties lurking in their bodies, allowing their bodies to return from acquired to innate."

He paused and said, "Next, I just need to stick to the medication to ensure that my innate body does not degenerate."

Yaoguang glanced at the woman...

With his strength of the sixth level of Shinto and the ninth level of Shinto realm already reached, he quickly "saw" something.

Although the drugs allowed her to maintain her original physical form, they also eroded her body.

Not only will the path of cultivation be ruined, but your life span will also be greatly shortened.

"The income of Zhengxianlou is very high?"

Yaoguang asked.

"An annual salary of one hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand? Compared to the annual income of ordinary people of twenty to thirty thousand, it's not bad, but compared to her cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, it's not high!"

"You have the right to purchase one spirit stone every year."

Zong Yan paused and said, "The Jiuding Sect has very strict control over the outflow of spirit stones. Working in these 'foreign-funded' enterprises is one of the very few ways for low- and middle-level practitioners to obtain spirit stones."

While the two were talking, the woman had already brought Yaoguang to the medicine area.

"The most cost-effective elixir for the seventh level of body refining is the Heavenly Man Pill. This is a pill specially made for tempering the body of a Heavenly Man. One pill can save a seventh level body cultivator one month's worth of standard body tempering training..."

The woman introduced the pills with a smile.

Yaoguang took a look...

Wow, one bottle costs thirty spirit stones!
But this is nothing, the price of pills that increase the efficiency of body tempering is relatively cheap.

After all, the progress of body tempering can be achieved slowly over time.

However, the elixirs that increase one's enlightenment and help one break through one's realm are truly expensive.

The price is several times higher than that of body-tempering pills.

"Hmm!? This is... the Immortal Golden Body Pill!?"

At this time, Yaoguang seemed to have seen something, and his eyes suddenly fell on a kind of elixir: "Zhengxian Tower even sells this kind of elixir!?"

It was recorded in the books left by the Chixing Jiang family that there was a seventh-level physical cultivator who relied on a bottle of Immortal Golden Body Pill to directly increase his physical strength to a higher level in just one month.

"Of course, and our Immortal Golden Body Pill is 20% more effective than the previous Golden Body Pill."

The woman smiled and said, "Even the Five Qi Chao Yuan Dan that can improve the physical body to perfection is available for sale in the Immortal Tower, as long as you can afford the price."

Yaoguang then turned his attention to the price of this elixir...

Six hundred spirit stones.

The Chixing Jiang family has not paid tribute to their ancestral home for more than forty years, and has only stored less than eighty spirit stones.

This is even though he occupies half of the world.

Although the Nurturing World does not belong to a spiritual power node and the output of spiritual stones is very low, it can also indirectly show the preciousness of spiritual stones.

Yaoguang has spent a lot of spirit stones over the years using the Five Emperors Soul Refining Furnace to refine soul-nourishing pills, and the number of spirit stones left is less than thirty.

He couldn't even afford a bottle of Tianren Pills with these pills.

Pondering over it, Yaoguang searched the medicine area for a while and soon found the Soul-Nourishing Pill.

"This……"

When he saw the price of the Soul-Nourishing Pill in the Zhengxian Building, he was slightly stunned.

Comparing the two, the cost of buying the Soul Nourishing Pill was actually cheaper than the cost of using spirit stones to drive the Five Emperors Soul Refining Furnace to refine the Soul Nourishing Pill! ?
Zong Yan noticed Yao Guang's gaze and quickly understood the source of his surprise. He explained, "I've said before that now all walks of life have entered the stage of scale and industrialization, including alchemy... The same is true. As one of the six top forces, the Immortal Alliance has mastered alchemy technology that is much higher than ours, and the cost has been reduced to an extremely low level..."

At this point, he paused and said, "Recently, the Jiuding Sect market has been opened, and a large amount of foreign goods have poured in. We can easily buy a large number of cheap elixirs, magic tools, talismans, and array plates from the Immortal Alliance, Wuji Xinggong, Da Ri Jian Sect, and Xinghai Sect..."

Yaoguang came back to his senses after hearing this.

This scene……

He looked familiar.

Are the Immortal Alliance, Wuji Xinggong, Dainichi Sword Sect, Xinghai Sect and other forces going to destroy Jiuding Sect's manufacturing system through these cheap goods?

No wonder the Jiuding Sect has repeatedly stated its trade protectionism.

He wandered around the medicine area for a long time, until the woman's smile became a little stiff, then he took two spirit stones given to him by Zong Lian from Zong Yan, collected enough money to buy a bottle of Tianren Pill, and left.
