You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Junior brother, please don't misunderstand. I found this pill formula in a cultivator's cave before," the disciple in charge quickly explained when he saw that Chen Huai'an had misunderstood.

"Oh, what a wonderful thing!" Chen Huai'an laughed after hearing what the other person said. It was just like someone bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy.

"Senior brother, what kind of pill formula is this?"

"This is a pill formula, but it's not a pill formula either. How should I explain it to you? But take a look and you'll know what's going on." As he spoke, the disciple took out an ancient book with yellowed pages.

"This is the Five Elements Alchemy Technique!" Chen Huai'an frowned as he looked at the five large characters on the ancient book.

The Five Elements Alchemy Technique does not record a single type of elixir, but rather several basic elixirs used from the Body Refining Realm to the Golden Core Realm.

The reason why the other party was unable to cultivate or sell this item is due to the first condition: you must possess the power of the five elements in order to refine the pills recorded in the alchemy book.

This first hurdle eliminates 99% of people. Without the Five Elements Spiritual Root, you simply cannot refine the pills mentioned above. Even if you have the Five Elements Spiritual Root, many people have mixed Five Elements Spiritual Root or low-grade Five Elements Spiritual Root. Their talent is very poor, and many people cannot break through to the Qi Refining Realm in their entire lives.

If one cannot break through the Qi Refining realm, one cannot cultivate Dan Fire within the body, and naturally cannot refine pills using the power of the Five Elements.

In fact, some alchemists have studied this Five Elements Alchemy technique, but according to the other party's formula, without the power of the five elements, it is impossible to refine pills.

"The Five Elements Alchemy Technique records many pill formulas, but if you want to refine the pills listed therein, you need to have the spiritual roots of the five elements, or gather the power of the five elements to refine the pills listed therein." When the disciple in charge saw Chen Huai'an's question, he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

This is indeed a pill formula, and there are more than one formula on it. However, ordinary alchemists cannot refine pills according to these proportions.

If this thing were in his hands, it would only gather dust. He had considered selling the Five Elements Alchemy Technique to get some spirit stones to supplement his cultivation, but he had tried to sell it dozens of times. Many people just glanced at it and gave up after learning about the cultivation requirements.

Even if you encounter a celestial master with the five elements spiritual roots, their cultivation level is very low and their breakthroughs are very slow, so they simply don't have any extra time to cultivate alchemy.

"This thing is somewhat useful to me; it can serve as a reference. Give me a price, and I'll buy it if it's not too expensive," Chen Huai'an said after a moment's thought.

Chen Huai'an's cultivation speed is no slower than those geniuses. He is sure he can carry forward the Five Elements Alchemy Technique. However, he knows the value of this book. If it is in the hands of someone who needs it, it is priceless. Even with spirit stones, it is not guaranteed that you can buy it. But if you sell it to some useless people, even if you give it to them for free, they will complain that it takes up too much space.

"Junior brother, I can tell you're a straightforward person. This thing is just gathering dust in my hands. If you want it, it'll cost 100 low-grade spirit stones." The tall, thin youth frowned slightly as he weighed the price.

If the price is too high, it will definitely scare people away, but if it is too low, he feels somewhat unwilling, since there are many prescriptions for pills recorded on it.

"100 low-grade spirit stones." Chen Huai'an thought the other party would ask for an exorbitant price, at least a thousand low-grade spirit stones, since this pill formula was very precious. It was passed down orally between masters and disciples and would never be shared with outsiders. Even if the pill formula were to be found outside, it could fetch an astronomical price.

But this person only asked for 100 low-grade spirit stones.

"Junior brother, 100 low-grade spirit stones is already the lowest price." Seeing Chen Huai'an hesitate, the young man quickly explained.

"Alright, 100 low-grade spirit stones it is. I don't need them, but they can serve as a reference," Chen Huai'an said with a smile.

Fearing the other party might change their mind, Chen Huai'an immediately took out 100 low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, looking at them with a grin.

"Thank you, senior brother. If I can really refine the Qi Refining Pill, you can buy pills from me and I'll give you a 5% discount."

"Junior brother, then I'll take your kind words. May I ask your surname? My name is Lu Zheng, a disciple of Earth Fire Peak." Lu Zheng was overjoyed to hear Chen Huai'an's words and quickly introduced himself.

Chen Huai'an cupped his hands in greeting and said, "My name is Chen Huai'an. I have just joined the outer sect and have not yet joined the main sect. I am currently cultivating alone."

"So it's Junior Brother Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you." Lu Zheng also cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Lu, you are a disciple of Earthfire Peak. Do you know where I can buy the medicinal herbs to refine these pills?" Chen Huai'an asked quickly, seeing that the other party was relatively easy to talk to.

He had only glanced at it briefly and found that the materials for refining these pills were quite difficult to find, and he had never even heard of many of them. He also had some spiritual herbs planted in his herb garden, but only a portion of them were usable.

From now on, Chen Huai'an will have an additional task: to collect the medicinal herbs listed in the pill formulas and plant them in his spatial storage.

This is a huge project; it requires a really large number of medicinal herbs.

Lu Zhen suddenly lowered his voice and said to Chen Huai'an, "Junior Brother Chen, if you want to buy the spiritual herbs in this pill formula, it's easy to do. There are disciples in the sect who specialize in managing and cultivating spiritual herbs. You can buy the corresponding spiritual herbs from them by spending some spirit stones."

"Senior Brother Lu, you work in this mission hall and come into contact with many disciples. I would appreciate it if you could help me with an introduction." As Chen Huai'an spoke, he took out two low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the other party.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Senior Brother Lu. Consider it payment for my tea."

There's a saying: "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." If someone accepts a favor from him, he'll definitely do his best to help make the matter happen.

"Junior Brother Chen, don't worry, leave this to me. I'll contact you later." Lu Zheng didn't expect Chen Huai'an to be so understanding, and quickly patted his chest to assure him.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with spirit stones; if it can't, then raise the price.

"Then I'll thank Senior Brother Lu here," Chen Huai'an said, bowing in thanks.

Now that he has Lu Zheng as a contact, Chen Huai'an's task is to find a way to obtain more spirit stones. The only way to buy a large number of spirit herb seeds is by spending spirit stones.

"To refine the pills in this Five Elements Alchemy Technique, the first step is to possess the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and the second is to cultivate the Five Elements True Fire within the body. What is the Five Elements True Fire? I cultivate the Chaos Five Elements True Technique, so does this Five Elements Alchemy Technique become useless?" Chen Huai'an returned to his residence and immediately began to study this Five Elements Alchemy Technique.

"The Five Elements True Fire, is the bastard fire I cultivated using the Chaos Five Elements True Technique the Five Elements True Fire? Or should I fuse all five of these magical powers? But no, that doesn't make sense either."
