Chapter 34: Vitality Restoration Pill
The Pulse Protection Pill was relatively precious. Besides being usable when Foundation Establishnt cultivators broke through bottlenecks, Qi Refining cultivators could also use it when attempting to break through to Foundation Establishnt. It increased the chance of success by ten percent, and even if one failed, it protected the heart ridian, preventing death!
The Beast Nurturing Pill was a pill used for nurturing spirit beasts. It could help Tier 2 demonic beasts increase their cultivation and break through bottlenecks.
There were two types of Tier 2 Mid-Grade pills: one was the Blood Burning Pill, and the other was the Cloud Clearing Pill.
The Blood Burning Pill temporarily enhanced the strength of a Foundation Establishnt cultivator. Its effects varied depending on the cultivator's cultivation level. For example, a mid-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator could double their strength, temporarily rivaling a late-stage cultivator. However, the cost was that it burned the cultivator's vital essence blood, and their ridians and Dantian would suffer varying degrees of damage. Therefore, after using it once, they would need to recuperate for at least several years. If too much vital essence blood was depleted and not replenished in ti, the consequences were even more severe, potentially costing the cultivator their life.
The Cloud Clearing Pill was rely a detoxification pill for the Foundation Establishnt stage—nothing special to say about it.
The High-Grade pills were the Spirit Condensing Pill and the Vitality Restoration Pill.
The Spirit Condensing Pill had the sa effect as the Spirit Gathering Pill from the Qi Refining stage: it enhanced the Divine Sense of Foundation Establishnt cultivators. Similarly, it could only be taken once.
Having a powerful Divine Sense offered many benefits. Whether it was alchemy, artifact forging, cultivation, or combat, Divine Sense was essential. A simple example: during alchemy, Divine Sense was needed to control subtle changes in Spiritual Power to achieve precise fine-tuning of the pills. A tiny error could lead to a huge mistake. With a stronger Divine Sense, this naturally beca much easier. In cultivation, a stronger Divine Sense allowed for better control of spiritual energy when impacting ridians, especially during bottleneck breakthroughs. The pressure from spiritual energy within the body was often imnse; a single misstep could lead to failure at best, or damage to one's foundation at worst.
Therefore, those with stronger Divine Sense also had an increased chance of successful Foundation Establishnt.
For soone like Wang Hao with his Five Spiritual Roots, his inherent chance of Foundation Establishnt was only twenty percent. Taking a Foundation Establishnt Pill would only bring it to fifty percent. But if he could enhance his Divine Sense, he could add another five to ten percent. With the assistance of the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Art and the Pulse Protection Pill, the probability would exceed eighty percent! Wang Hao felt his Foundation Establishnt was already assured.
As for the Vitality Restoration Pill, it was even more precious. It was a supre healing dicine that could repair a cultivator's Dantian and ridians. If a cultivator used the aforentioned Blood Burning Pill and suffered from depleted vital essence blood and damaged ridians, one Vitality Restoration Pill could repair the damage. Its value was unimaginable.
That young man did not lie; this pill compendium was very precious. Not only did the Wang family not have it, but even the Qingyuan Sect lacked several of these formulas!
Generally speaking, Qi Refining cultivators could at most beco Tier 2 Mid-Grade alchemists. Wanting to break through to Tier 2 High-Grade was almost impossible because Tier 2 High-Grade pills were too complex, requiring powerful Divine Sense control and more abundant Spiritual Power—two things Qi Refining cultivators did not possess.
Wang Hao's current success rate for Tier 1 High-Grade pills exceeded fifty percent; he could already attempt to refine Tier 2 Low-Grade pills. But wanting to succeed would likely take several years of unknown effort. So, these pill formulas were not imdiately useful to Wang Hao himself. While he might not need them now, Old Wang should find them useful. He had beco a Tier 2 Low-Grade alchemist many years ago and had been in the Foundation Establishnt stage for several years now; he shouldn't be far from becoming a Tier 2 Mid-Grade alchemist!
With this pill compendium, he might also be able to compete for the family's next Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Thus, Wang Hao made a copy of the pill compendium. However, he did not copy the Spirit Nurturing Pill and Beast Nurturing Pill formulas. It wasn't out of stinginess. First, the Wang family didn't raise many spirit beasts anyway; having the formulas would be useless, nor were they wealthy enough to use pills to raise spirit beasts. Second, if Wang Hao handed everything over, his own usefulness would greatly diminish. It would be more cost-effective for him to occasionally give the Wang family bottles of finished pills himself!
Wang Hao went to Wang Yanzhao's residence and found him refining pills inside his room. Without knocking, he walked straight in. Wang Yanzhao glared at him irritably but continued focusing on his alchemy. Monts later, a pill fragrance wafted out.
After tidying up, Wang Yanzhao said, "What's so urgent that you had to find ? You almost ruined my batch of pills!"
"It's just a batch of Qi Gathering Pills; how much could that be worth!" As he spoke, he tossed over the copied pill compendium. "Take a look at this. I bought it for three thousand Spirit Stones. Rember to pay back."
As a middleman, there was no reason not to make a profit on the price difference; Wang Hao didn't feel guilty at all. In fact, if the Wang family didn't allocate him several thousand contribution points for this deal, he wouldn't agree!
"Three thousand Spirit Stones? You spendthrift... Huh? Pill formulas..."
After flipping through it for a while, Wang Yanzhao couldn't contain his excitent; his body even began to sway slightly. Wang Hao almost suspected he was having a stroke. "I say, Old Wang, are you alright? They're just a few pill formulas; haven't you seen anything before?"
But Wang Yanzhao had no ti to bicker with him; he remained engrossed in studying the compendium, muttering under his breath, "So that's how it is... so that's how it is... Hahaha, I'm definitely going to break through to beco a Tier 2 Mid-Grade alchemist this ti!"
Great, the man was going crazy...
After nearly half an hour, Wang Yanzhao finally returned to normal, sitting in his chair, though he still kept rubbing his hands over the compendium from ti to ti.
"I say, Old Wang, put it down already, you'll wear it out at this rate! Since I gave it to you, would I snatch it back?" Wang Hao sat with his legs crossed, holding a cup of tea. "Rember to give a bottle once you refine so Pulse Protection Pills!"
Wang Yanzhao looked at Wang Hao with much softer eyes now. Even though Wang Hao was gulping down his hard-earned Spirit Tea without appreciation, his voice still trembled slightly as he spoke. "This pill compendium represents hope for our Wang family's rise; its value is imasurable! However, I cannot give you three thousand Spirit Stones right now! The fewer people who know about this matter, the better; we cannot take funds from the shop's accounts! I will report back to the Mountain Master first before deciding."
Wang Hao did not know that the current family head, Wang Guang'an, had suffered damage to his Dantian and ridians, which prevented him from taking action and had affected his lifespan—otherwise, he might have understood Wang Yanzhao's reaction better.
With the Vitality Restoration Pill, even if Wang Guang'an couldn't fully recover his peak late-stage Foundation Establishnt strength, he could at least take action again, right? The Wang family currently had over a hundred cultivators cramd into Wang Family Ridge; they've long wanted to expand outward! Once Wang Guang'an recovered, the family's strength would greatly increase, and their chances of successful expansion would also rise significantly! This concerned the fate of the entire Wang family—no wonder Wang Yanzhao was so excited!
"By the way, where did that person who sold you these formulas go?"
"How should I know? The transaction was completed cleanly—he can go wherever he pleases!"
Wang Yanzhao imdiately beca uneasy again. "Foolish! This compendium is so important! If word leaks out, our Wang family might face annihilation!"
Wang Hao gestured for him to calm down. "I considered that point already! We both swore Dao Heart Oaths never to reveal details about this pill compendium transaction!"
Only then did Wang Yanzhao relax slightly, instructing, "Later, I will return to Wang Family Ridge and report directly to the Mountain Master! You stay here in the market—don't go anywhere! Also, have our shop start quietly gathering dicinal ingredients related to the Vitality Restoration Pill—but do so discreetly! No grand gestures!"
"Vitality Restoration Pill? I'll rember!" Wang Hao nodded.
Actually, what Wang Hao wanted most right now were the Spirit Gathering Pill and Spirit Nurturing Pill! The Spirit Nurturing Pill wasn't too problematic—Wang Hao already had seeds for its dicinal herbs! But the Spirit Gathering Pill lacked one ingredient—Three-Leaf Spirit Calming Grass! It was extrely rare; he could only search slowly.
No conflict there—he would just post separate requests at the commission houses!
