Chapter 690 Cangxuan's Purchasing Agent and New Pill Formula

Shattered Void Wasteland Outpost.

Fang Zhi waited in the courtyard, holding a bamboo scroll in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Li, here's the fifth shopping list." Fang Zhi handed over the bamboo booklet. "We've gained three more customers, bringing the total to twelve, and the variety of products has expanded to fifteen categories."

Li Yuan took the bamboo book and scanned it with his divine sense.

The usual varieties from Zhou Yuanlang and other long-time clients were still available, and several new types of rare materials were added. Among the orders from the three new clients, two types were ores that had not been handled before.

"Let me know when everything is ready," Fang Zhi said.

"Three days later."

Li Yuan carefully put away the bamboo book and transformed into a beam of light to return to Mingyuan Immortal City.

Over three days, he made purchases from the spiritual material shops in Mingyuan Immortal City and Xuanyang City. Of the fifteen types of spiritual materials, he only really put in a lot of effort with four of them; the rest were common items in both realms, available in large quantities at low prices.

Day 3, Shattered Void Wasteland Outpost.

Fang Zhi handed over the storage bag and list, which Li Yuan checked and found to be correct. He then turned and stepped into the spatial passage.

Cangxuan Realm.

The transaction was completed at the Xuan Shi Market. Twelve clients arrived one after another, paying two to three times the market price of spirit stones. Zhou Yuanlang added two new varieties, and four other clients also placed their own orders.

This shopping trip brought in significantly more money than the previous one.

After the transaction was completed, Li Yuan went on a shopping spree at Cuiwei Market and Xuanshi Market. He bought dozens of portions of third-tier spiritual herbs, carried away boxes of second-tier ores, and also acquired a considerable amount of several types of demon beast materials that had been in short supply in the Upper Realm for a long time.

After visiting both markets, a thick layer of spiritual materials had accumulated in his personal miniature world.

After returning to the Upper Realm, the spiritual materials from the Cangxuan Realm were sold off in batches in Mingyuan Immortal City and Xuanyang City, generating substantial profits from the price difference. Li Yuan's reserves of spirit stones increased significantly once again.

Mingyuan Sect.

Li Yuan went to the Pill Recipe Pavilion to exchange for pill recipes as a formal retainer.

The catalog of fourth-order pill formulas unfolded before his eyes, and his gaze lingered on one spot.

Spiritual Essence Bone Tempering Pill, fourth-grade, low-level.

This pill assists in the cultivation of body-refining techniques, strengthening the meridians' ability to bear the spiritual energy of body refinement. Unlike the Returning Origin Nourishing Infant Pill and the Nurturing Infant Condensing Yuan Pill, the Spiritual Origin Bone Tempering Pill focuses specifically on the physical body's meridians, making it more suitable for cultivators who practice both spiritual energy cultivation techniques and body-refining techniques simultaneously.

exchange.

Contribution points deducted, elixir recipe jade slip obtained.

Li Yuan probed the jade slip with his divine sense, and the pill formula unfolded in his sea of ​​consciousness. The main ingredients were Bone-Tempering Ganoderma and Xuan Iron Essence Powder, supplemented with several kinds of spiritual herbs to strengthen the toughness of the meridians. The method was completely different from the pills he had refined before.

The Bone-Tempering Ganoderma lucidum must be purchased separately from the Spirit Materials Shop, while the Mysterious Iron Powder can be ground by oneself using previously accumulated ores.

After purchasing all the spiritual materials in Mingyuan Immortal City, Li Yuan returned to his residence and set up his alchemy furnace.

The spiritual materials were taken out one by one and arranged according to the pill formula.

The Bone-Tempering Ganoderma lucidum is dark golden in color with a thick stem and a strong medicinal property. The Xuan Tie powder is fine and grayish-black, requiring high-temperature melting in the furnace. The two main ingredients have conflicting properties, making the timing of their fusion crucial.

The fire of alchemy rises.

The first batch.

After the bone-tempering Ganoderma lucidum was placed in the furnace, it melted smoothly, and its medicinal power was released steadily. When the black iron powder was added, Li Yuan raised the temperature of the alchemical fire to over 90%. The powder slowly melted, and as soon as it came into contact with the medicinal power of the Ganoderma lucidum, the two forces violently repelled each other.

The automatic analysis function of Wanxiang Retrospection revealed the conflicting nodes. The repulsion stemmed from the difference in the frequency of medicinal effects; Ganoderma lucidum is more gentle, while refined powder is more potent, and a direct clash would only cancel each other out.

Li Yuan adjusted the rhythm of his spiritual energy infusion, adding a buffer between the two medicinal forces. One of the auxiliary ingredients was a supple spiritual herb, perfectly suited to act as a bridge.

But the timing was still a step too late.

When the pill core was halfway formed, the internal medicinal properties became unbalanced, causing it to shatter directly.

The first batch failed.

Li Yuan used the Myriad Manifestations technique to replay the entire process and quickly identified the crux of the problem. The resilient spiritual herb was added too late; the buffer layer hadn't yet formed, and the two medicinal energies had already clashed.

The second batch.

This time, he added the resilient spiritual herbs half an hour earlier, allowing the buffer layer to form first. When the bone-tempering spiritual mushroom and the black iron powder were then put into the furnace, the gentle medicinal power in between suppressed most of the repulsion.

The pill core takes shape, and the medicinal power is concentrated.

Extracting the elixir.

Two Spirit Essence Bone Tempering Pills lay in the furnace, their surfaces gleaming with a dark golden luster, indicating they were of superior quality.

Within a three-foot perception range, blue text rippled.

Li Yuan picked up one of them.

[Equipable item detected: Spirit Essence Tempering Pill]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Bone Tempering and Essence Nourishment (Blue)]

[Effect: Permanently increases the efficiency of body tempering techniques by 50%; increases the maximum cultivation limit of body tempering techniques by 50%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Mastery of the Fourth-Order Body Refinement Technique]

Both effects are related to body refinement and are very useful for strengthening the physical body.

The only condition for permanentization is mastering a fourth-tier body-refining technique. Li Yuan's current Thunderous Bone Refining Technique and Spiritual Body Forging Technique are both at the third-tier mastery level, so he can't advance them for now.

He stored the Spirit Essence Bone Tempering Pill in his personal miniature world.

While collecting the pills, Li Yuan casually cleaned up the remaining materials in the furnace. A small section of the root of the Bone-Tempering Ganoderma lucidum had not completely melted and had been charred black by the pill fire, mixed in with the residue at the bottom of the furnace.

A three-foot sense swept across.

A very faint ripple came from that section of root.

White grade.

Li Yuan reached out and picked up the root.

White tags can be permanently added without requiring any tasks.

The roots spread out at the fingertips, and a white light flowed into the body.

A scene flashed through my mind. An alchemist was adjusting the pill fire, his spiritual energy rising and falling rapidly at his fingertips. The pill fire dropped from a high temperature to a low temperature in less than half a breath, a level of precision far superior to that of ordinary alchemists.

The subtle insights gained from precise temperature control in alchemy have been integrated into my mind and spirit.

The image fades away.

Micro-control of the flame, permanent application complete.

The precision of controlling the fire was slightly improved.

The effect is not significant, but it can be superimposed on the control of the elixir fire after the fire technique's spiritual essence has been permanently established.

Li Yuan carefully put away the alchemy furnace, cleaned up the remaining materials, and took out the official offering token.

A new quest has just appeared in the Mingyuan Sect's quest list.

The spiritual energy at the third node of the main peak array is abnormal, requiring array offerings to assist in troubleshooting and repair.

Li Yuan accepted the mission and transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the main peak of the Mingyuan Sect.

The third node of the main peak formation is located inside a cave halfway up the main peak. The cave walls are covered with fourth-order spirit patterns, and spiritual energy flows continuously in the loops.

Li Yuan stepped into the cave, and the array's celestial pivot activated on its own, reflecting the spiritual pattern structure of the entire node into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The anomaly was quickly located.

In the second nested loop of the third node, there is a slight shift in the connection of the spiritual runes. The shift is less than half a point, which an ordinary array master might not be able to detect, but it causes a small turbulence when spiritual energy flows through this point, which will affect the entire loop over time.

The automatic analysis function of the "All-Purpose Retrospective" will present both the turbulence frequency and the range of influence.

Li Yuan used micro-controlling spiritual techniques to probe the junction of the spiritual patterns and corrected the misaligned patterns back to their original positions. The turbulent flow of spiritual energy dissipated, and the circuit returned to normal.

After the repairs were completed, he took the opportunity to check the array images stored in the node station.

The record documented the operation of the large formation during the recent border conflict. The spiritual energy fluctuation curve, node load distribution, and emergency switching records were all sealed within the record stone.

Li Yuan scanned the area, memorized the valuable information with his divine sense, and then left the node station.

Task completed, contribution points credited.

As he descended from the main peak, a streak of light swept in from the side and landed in front of Li Yuan.

Xue Lang.

"Fellow Daoist Li," Xue Lang cupped his hands, a hint of regret on his face, "You were absent from the last seminar on array formations and were unable to participate."

.

"I was in the lower realm during that time," Li Yuan said.

"What a pity," Xue Lang said. "However, there's a small array formation gathering next month, with about ten people, all of whom are respected elders and venerable masters of array formations within the sect. If you're interested, would you like to join us?"

"When?"

"The day after tomorrow, in the council hall on the east side of the main peak."

Li Yuan nodded.

"I'll go."

Xue Lang smiled, cupped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.

Li Yuan watched him leave, then turned and transformed into a beam of light to return to his residence.

The stone gate was closed.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone platform and began to circulate the Nascent Soul Returning to Origin Technique. With the blessing of the Spirit Array Returning to Origin incantation, spiritual energy within the cave surged into his body, making his cultivation speed extremely fast.

The cultivation continues.
