Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 7 The Pill of Frost

"As we all know, the cold poison left behind by a cultivator with a water-elemental root who fails to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is basically incurable. Only the Frost-Cleansing Pill can barely suppress it."

"However, there is no hidden injury in this world that cannot be healed by elixirs. In the vast world of alchemy, there are two kinds of elixirs that can cure cold poison."

"The first is the renowned Tier 3 superior-grade treasure pill [Frostbreaker] in water-based alchemy. This pill can clear away cold toxins, allowing the user's body to regain vitality, break through and rebuild, and gain the opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage again."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's expression shifted slightly.

He had previously consulted the alchemy teacher at the school in order to treat the cold poison in his mother's body.

Without exception, all the teachers said that the cold poison was difficult to cure, and only the third-level precious pill, Cold-Breaking Frost, could cure the root cause.

Noticing the unusual expression on Chen Beiwu's face, Teacher Li stopped keeping him in suspense and continued explaining: "Secondly, there is the relatively uncommon second-tier mid-grade spiritual pill in fire-based alchemy, the Frost-Falling Pill."

This elixir can clear away cold toxins after consumption, but its drawback is that it cannot compensate for the user's depleted lifespan or fallen cultivation level.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up slightly.

Third-grade high-quality pills are rare, and probably only Golden Core cultivators have the authority and financial resources to purchase them. However, second-grade mid-quality pills are different; most Foundation Establishment cultivators can afford them.

With the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Technique and the Nine Breaths Chaos Treasure, Chen Beiwu was confident that he could become a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the shortest possible time.

As for my mother's lifespan and cultivation level, we can gradually make up for it with other elixirs at that time.

"Ring ring ring!"

As the bell rang, most of the students in the classroom secretly glanced at Chen Beiwu, their eyes filled with a hint of jealousy and envy.

The characteristics of the seventh level of Qi Refining are too obvious.

Even if some people are careless and don't notice Chen Beiwu's changes, they can understand them by observing the reactions of their classmates after one class.

Perhaps due to the stark contrast, someone couldn't help but mutter a curse under their breath: "Holy crap, another promising talent has emerged in our class, with the potential to reach the Seventh or Ninth Immortal Sect, or even the Thirteenth Immortal Sect!"

The Seven Nine Upper Sect is known by many students as the cradle of Golden Elixir, meaning that outstanding graduates from the Seven Nine Upper Sect can become Golden Elixir True Persons.

And the Thirteen Immortal Sects are even more extraordinary!

The prodigies who emerged from the Thirteen Immortal Sects were all recognized by the Immortal Alliance as having the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Even Golden Core cultivators would condescend to befriend them and would not easily offend them.

As for the five great grotto-heavens that surpass the thirteen immortal sects, the students present never even considered that they were not true dragons that could appear in the shallow waters of Yuankong County.

For thousands of years, hundreds of millions of students in Yuankong County have taken the college entrance examination, but none of them have been able to get into the Five Great Grotto Heavens, which shows how difficult it is.

"You're famous again," Xu Lingling teased, raising an eyebrow.

"boring."

Chen Beiwu stood up and walked towards his office under everyone's watchful eyes.

"He's here as expected." Li Jiacheng wasn't surprised to see Chen Beiwu shortly after he sat down.

Normally, he wouldn't bother with a student at all, let alone make a point of reminding them in class.

But Chen Beiwu is different. A sixteen-year-old Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator with a clean background is qualified to let him easily make a good connection.

"Teacher, I would like to ask you a question." Chen Beiwu stated his purpose directly.

"This is simple." Li Jiacheng took a sip of tea. "The Immortal Alliance just announced the recipe for the Frost-Reducing Pill half a month ago. Although I know how to refine this pill, my success rate is only 30%."

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Chen Beiwu asked tentatively.

"The medicinal herbs used to refine the Frost-Reducing Pill are worth about three hundred low-grade spirit stones, and can yield approximately three pills."

At this point, Li Jiacheng paused slightly and said directly, "The Frost-Reducing Pill is priced at 800 low-grade spirit stones per pill on the Immortal Alliance's official website. I can sell you one Frost-Reducing Pill at cost price, which is 300 low-grade spirit stones."

Chen Beiwu was somewhat surprised.

Isn't the spirit stone appealing?

Why would Teacher Li be willing to sell the pills at cost price for no apparent reason?

Seeing Chen Beiwu standing there in a daze, Li Jiacheng smiled and said, "What's wrong? Your teacher wants to make a good connection with you, but you're not willing?"

"Of course I'm willing, but this price is too favorable. Teacher, you also need costs and effort to refine medicine." Chen Beiwu hesitated, the sudden kindness making him suspect there was a trap.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiacheng nodded to himself, feeling somewhat smug.

"He's a good boy; my judgment remains as good as ever!"

As a teacher in the second-year high school advanced class, he knew Chen Beiwu's family situation very well, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being heavily in debt.

Despite this, Chen Beiwu remained steadfast and refused to take advantage of his teacher.

It's no wonder that the senior high school teachers have been praising Chen Beiwu highly these past few days, saying that he has the potential to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, like a dragon swimming in shallow waters.

"Since you think it's too cheap, how about I sell you a Frost-Reducing Pill for seven hundred spirit stones?" Li Jiacheng tentatively suggested.

"Okay, thank you, teacher." Chen Beiwu nodded confidently.

Li Jiacheng stroked his beard, looking at Chen Beiwu with increasing delight: "Alright, a promise is a promise. The teacher previously agreed on three hundred spirit stones each, and that's it. Not a single spirit stone more."

This child is not only honest, but also calm and composed.

In a daze, he seemed to see a bit of his own past self in Chen Beiwu.

Even so, he would not earn less spirit stones than a pill refiner should, which was Li Jiacheng's principle in doing business.

Out of consideration for their teacher-student relationship and the goodwill they had formed, he only earned Chen Beiwu a few dozen low-grade spirit stones for each Frost-Reducing Pill he sold. If it were someone else, he would have earned at least four hundred spirit stones.

"Thank you for your help, teacher," Chen Beiwu said gratefully.

"There's no need for that. It's your own merit that's making you successful." Li Jiacheng waved his hand, glanced at Chen Beiwu, and encouraged him, "The path to immortality is boundless. If you want to see a wider world, then do your best to get into one of the Thirteen Immortal Sects!"

……

As Chen Beiwu left the office and entered the corridor, he heard the stern voice of the homeroom teacher coming from the classroom.

"Good, very good. You guys are getting more and more amazing. Only one summer vacation has passed, and your class ranking was almost overtaken by the elite class next door. Is this your attitude towards cultivation?"

"Or are you saying you don't want to take the college entrance exam to enter the sect, and plan to go to a vocational college, then go back to your hometown and herd cattle, and be content with that?"

"You cultivate immortality for your own sake, for eternal life and freedom, not for your teacher. To put it bluntly, of all the classes of students I, Wang Kui, have taught, you are the worst!"

Hearing the homeroom teacher's reprimand, not a single student in the class dared to utter a sound, let alone utter a word in rebuttal.

"Damn it, I'm out of luck this time. I've run right into the homeroom teacher's line of fire." Chen Beiwu sensed something was wrong, but he could only bite the bullet and step forward to announce his arrival.

Wang Kui instinctively frowned and turned to look at the classroom door.

He wanted to see which guy was so bold as to be late for his class.

The quiet classroom became a little restless, with almost all the students' eyes turned towards the door.

Xu Lingling nudged her best friend with her elbow and whispered, "Hehe, we're going to have a good show this time."

Xu Ziqing smiled gently and shook her head slightly, "There's no good show to watch."

As expected, when Wang Kui saw that the person who came was Chen Beiwu, the stern look on his face instantly disappeared, and he said with a kind expression, "Come in, and pay attention to the time next time."

"???" Xu Lingling's eyes widened.

What's going on? Has Teacher Wang been possessed?

It's unbelievable that he could be so kind and approachable!
