Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

The art of alchemy is the foremost of all cultivation techniques!

In the Three Realms, anyone who cultivates will learn one or two skills. After all, if one can become rich by refining pills, there's no need to risk competing with others for resources.

No need to venture into secret realms filled with temporal and spatial turbulence anymore!

However, it is precisely because everyone knows a little bit about alchemy that they know how difficult it is to make pills.

Under normal circumstances!

Alchemist of the Three Realms.

Earth Immortals and True Immortals can only barely refine low-grade fourth-order immortal pills. Celestial Immortals might be able to refine fifth-order immortal pills, but the success rate is very low. Only Golden Immortal alchemists dare to guarantee the stable success of fifth-order immortal pills.

But most of them are only low to medium grade pills!

As for the quality of Wangpin, don't even think about it!

For sixth-order immortal pills, most alchemists in the Three Realms need to have the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, while divine pills...?

Normally, it would take at least a Great Immortal like Da Luo Jin Xian.

Of course, there are exceptions. There are also those with extraordinary talent. Back then, Shennong Yandi was only at the Golden Immortal level, yet he still managed to refine a seventh-order divine pill!

Eighth-order and ninth-order divine pills...

This is the dream and pursuit of countless alchemists in the Three Realms. The Heavenly Court's Heavenly Medicine Department and the Great Emperor of Life Preservation, because he saved hundreds of mortal kingdoms in the Southern Jambudvipa with his alchemy, received the incense offerings of all living beings, and the heavens and earth responded, thus bestowing upon him his karmic position!

He attained the position of the Great Emperor Baosheng!

This position is only below the Heavenly Venerable, which means he is just a rogue cultivator. In addition, the heads of various departments in the Heavenly Court are already full. Otherwise, he would at least be in charge of a department like Yang Jian!

.........

In the Jade Pool Wonderland, Haotian was filled with regret!

"Junior sister..."

We can't give up on this kid! He can refine ninth-order divine pills at the Celestial Immortal Realm. If we wait for him to advance to the Taiyi Golden Immortal or the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, wouldn't he be able to refine Dao pills?

"We shouldn't have agreed to guide the sage in the first place!"

He agreed to guide them, all for the sake of accumulating merit on the journey to the West!

But what is the purpose of this Journey to the West merit? Isn't it to cultivate Great Luo Golden Immortals? Why rely on those merits to attain enlightenment?

Haha, don't even think about it, that little bit of merit!

The amount of merit required to cultivate a Quasi-Saint and a Grand Luo Golden Immortal is not much different!

That is, several times!

After all, in terms of life level, Quasi-Saints are essentially still Great Luo Golden Immortals, or even more powerful Great Luo Golden Immortals, just with a different, more advanced name!

A sage, on the other hand, is completely transcendent, a quasi-sage, and transcends even the Great Luo!

They belong to a different dimension of life level!

It takes ten million merits to cultivate a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and at most tens of millions of merits to cultivate a Quasi-Saint, but a Primordial Saint requires more than one billion merits!

Don't even think about it without a billion in funding!

Now, using merit to cultivate Great Luo Golden Immortals, one hundred million merits can cultivate one hundred immortals, which is the ideal situation!

Unless, all one hundred of them are at the half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal level!

Moreover, these hundred half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortals all have roots above the level of innate beings!

With just one million merits and a single opportunity, one can break through, but is that even possible?

The biggest obstacle for a Taiyi Golden Immortal to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm is the innate shackles. Merit can indeed help break through these shackles, but the amount of merit required is extraordinary!

This is no longer the time when the world was created!

Those with innate divine lineage are extremely rare, and every time a being with innate divine lineage appears, it will attract the attention of various forces in the Three Realms.

In that case!

Compared to using millions of merits to cultivate a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, it is clearly more practical to use a Dao pill like the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!

Even if the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is used to help a cultivator advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it will deplete their potential and may prevent them from advancing to the Quasi-Saint realm for the rest of their lives!

But can one even dream of becoming a quasi-saint?

Do you have an innate spiritual treasure?

You don't even have a primordial spiritual treasure, yet you still want to advance to the Quasi-Saint level?

It can be said that in the present Three Realms, becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal is the ultimate goal for almost all cultivators. As long as one becomes a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one becomes the patriarch who establishes a sect and a great supernatural being in the Three Realms.

An existence that no force can afford to ignore!

Especially for Great Luo Golden Immortals, even if you are a rogue cultivator, you are qualified to participate in the Queen Mother of the West's Peach Banquet at the Jade Pool in Heaven.

It has status and resources!

A Great Immortal is a true winner in life!

If Zhou Yi could refine Dao pills like the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, then Zhou Yi would be a machine for producing Great Luo Golden Immortals, capable of mass-producing them as long as there are enough resources!

As long as the Jade Emperor can capture someone like Zhou Yi, he can cultivate as many Great Luo Golden Immortals as he wants in the future!

Instead of seeking the Taiqing Sage to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which was rejected by him on the pretext of disrupting the cause and effect of heaven and earth.

"I underestimated this child!"

At this moment, Yaochi also frowned. Of course, she knew her senior brother's purpose: to gather 365 Great Luo Golden Immortals and set up the Zhou Tian Star Array!

"Furthermore, if this child could refine a life-saving elixir, perhaps he could even make the Moon Goddess completely one of us!"

Haotian narrowed his eyes as he thought.

"Hmph, I suppose you're after that Taiyin Star Lord!" Yaochi snorted coldly upon hearing Haotian's words.

"Oh dear, junior sister, I'm only doing this for the sake of the Great Dao, aren't I?"

"Are you so sure that dual cultivation can lead to the attainment of the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

"It's uncertain, but the Human Emperor Xuanyuan advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm through this method, and the ancient Demon Emperor Dijun almost advanced to the Primordial Chaos realm through this method as well."

If it weren't for a sage plotting behind the scenes, the situation in the Three Realms would probably be completely different now.

Senior brother, I am the Chaos Nine Yang Divine Jade, with the innate Nine Yang body, while Wang Shu has the Taiyin body. If we can become cultivation partners, even if we don't attain the Primordial Dao, our cultivation will at least increase significantly.

Moreover, the Zhou Tian Star Array cannot function without the assistance of the Taiyin Star Lord!

Seeing his junior sister's jealousy, Haotian smiled wryly.

Yaochi possesses the innate Lesser Yin constitution, which complements her well, but it is ultimately inferior to the Greater Yin constitution. Moreover, if both the Lesser Yin and Greater Yin constitutions were to assist her!

Maybe I really can attain the Primordial Dao.

"Why don't you take Chang'e as well? After all, she has the Lesser Yin constitution and is the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms. She seems like a good match for you, Senior Brother!"

Yaochi glanced at Haotian and chuckled coldly.

Although she was resentful, she acquiesced. As the saying goes, all those below the level of a sage are ants. At least one of them must advance to the Hunyuan realm, otherwise they will forever be controlled by those sages!

"Ha, she has a postnatal Lesser Yin constitution, and people in the Three Realms are just ignorant and ignorant!"

The claim of being the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms is nothing but empty boasting!

"You're actually complaining? Yeah, you're so knowledgeable, you know Wangshu is more beautiful, only Wangshu is worthy of you!"

"Ah, junior sister, you will always be the only one in my heart!"

As for Wang Shu, it was only because of the needs of cultivation. Only when I attain the Primordial Dao can I truly become the ruler of the Three Realms. Otherwise, I will forever remain just a puppet.

"I've had enough of having to get the approval of the Three Pure Ones for even the smallest matter!"

As Haotian spoke, his expression became somewhat distorted.

"Forget it, you should deal with Wang Shu first. Wang Shu isn't very interested in you..." Yao Chi couldn't help but say, glancing at Hao Tian.

"Hehe, anything is possible with effort!"

"Now that our great immortal official Pangu has demonstrated his importance, senior brother, you shouldn't neglect him any longer..."
