Jia Ren cultivated for a whole night and then headed to the Inner City Market to browse through the stalls selling Monster Beast at.
Every few days, he would routinely seek out the at vendors, offering a high price for Spirit Turtle at.
Unfortunately, Great Desolate Turtle Demons were too rare, and he had acquired none so far.
Cultivation with elixirs was not slow, but it still lagged far behind the Turtle Spirit Ointnt. Moreover, the ointnt had the miraculous effect of increasing lifespan.
I wonder if the Ming Family still has any Spirit Turtles?
I will ask Yang Bingzhi about it later.
Jia Ren walked towards the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, intending to purchase a batch of elixirs for his cultivation.
Having depleted his stock of Spirit Bud Elixirs and Major Restoration Elixirs, it was ti to replenish them with new elixirs.
An enthusiastic shop assistant greeted the Late Stage Qi-Refining Cultivator, promoting the best-selling elixirs.
"There are two kinds of elixirs suitable for consumption in the Late Stage of Qi Refinent. One is the Spirit Enhancent Pill. It is the most broadly applicable, favored by Loose Cultivators, and priced at eight Spirit Stones each."
"The other is the Five Elents Spirit Pill. This elixir is bestowed upon Inner Sect Disciples by the Five Elents Sect and rarely makes its way outside. It is not cheap, costing fifteen Spirit Stones each."
Jia Ren was no stranger to the Spirit Enhancent Pill, having recently purchased so for Yang Shengwu. The price was as usual.
He had, however, learned about the Five Elents Spirit Pill for the first ti. An elixir from the Five Elents Sect?
For an elixir also used in the Late Stage of Qi Refinent, it was priced much higher.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but sects and families rarely release truly high-quality elixirs to the public. Most of the ones Loose Cultivators can buy are of average quality."
"The Five Elents Spirit Pill consud by Sect Disciples is a superior product. Inner Sect Disciples can only obtain one each month."
"If Fellow Daoist doesn’t buy now, you won’t be able to get them in a few days, even if you want to."
Jia Ren first inspected the Spirit Enhancent Pill to confirm its quality.
Then he picked up a Five Elents Spirit Pill and slled it, comparing its dicinal fragrance.
The difference was indeed noticeable: the aroma was richer, indicating better quality.
After hesitating for a mont, Jia Ren decided to buy ten to test their efficacy.
Having spent two hundred and thirty Spirit Stones, Jia Ren returned to his residence with the elixirs and resud his steady cultivation.
After consuming a Spirit Enhancent Pill, its effect was far from comparable to the Great Origin Pill or Spirit Bud Elixir. Each Spirit Enhancent Pill only added seven points to his cultivation progress.
The effect was average, rely ordinary.
Jia Ren took out a Five Elents Spirit Pill, which he had bought for fifteen Spirit Stones. The pill was multicolored and quite pleasing to the eye. After slling its rich fragrance and confirming there were no issues, he swallowed it.
The dicinal power burst forth instantly. It was far denser than that of the Spirit Enhancent Pill, though not violent. He activated his Turtle Spirit Technique, gradually transforming the potency into Spiritual Power.
After a short while, Jia Ren opened his eyes, his joy unconcealable.
The dicinal effect is good! One Five Elents Spirit Pill increased my cultivation progress by fifteen points—far stronger than the Spirit Enhancent Pill.
Its cost-effectiveness was also high; it was truly worthy of being an elixir from the Five Elents Sect.
No wonder Sect Disciples’ rate of strength improvent far surpassed that of Loose Cultivators. Even though both consud elixirs incessantly, Sect Disciples’ cultivation speed was much faster.
This won’t do; I must buy more!
Without hesitation, Jia Ren rushed back to the Pill Cauldron Pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist, you’ve returned so soon! The Five Elents Spirit Pill’s effect must have exceeded your expectations," the shop assistant observed.
"Unfortunately, you’re a step too late. A few other Fellow Daoists just bought most of them; there are only three left."
Only three?
"I’ll take them all!"
Jia Ren didn’t mind and bought all of them.
"When will there be more Five Elents Spirit Pills?"
Having experienced the effects of the Five Elents Spirit Pill, the Spirit Enhancent Pill now seed sowhat redundant.
"The Five Elents Spirit Pill seldom makes its way outside. The majority are... well, they are pills that Five Elents Sect Alchemists discreetly sell through the Pill Cauldron Pavilion. They appear in irregular quantities, with no set pattern."
This was also how the vast majority of Loose Cultivators reacted after trying the Five Elents Spirit Pill, and the shop assistant was long accustod to this.
What a pity.
No wonder Loose Cultivators yearned for a sect. When they wished to purchase elixirs like the Five Elents Spirit Pill, they had to rely on luck. In contrast, it was not difficult for Five Elents Sect Cultivators to acquire them.
Jia Ren couldn’t buy the Jade Yang Pill, used for breaking through to the Qi Refinent Seventh Level, at the Pill Cauldron Pavilion or any other elixir vendor. He could only wait for auctions.
Although a Sect required Sect contributions in exchange, at least there was a channel for acquisition.
Forget about joining a Sect; I don’t want to be restricted by others.
The Five Elents Spirit Pill is certainly good. However, if I could get a large amount of Turtle Spirit Ointnt, it would be no less effective. Most importantly, its cost is far cheaper than the Five Elents Spirit Pill.
Elixirs shouldn’t be taken continuously. Jia Ren, holding the dicinal Bath Ingredients given by Yang Bingzhi, began to learn the Mixed Refining Vajra Body.
He had possessed the Body Refining Techniques for so ti, but his inability to gather the dicinal Bath Ingredients had prevented him from starting.
With everything prepared, he decisively began his Body Refinent.
The dicinal Bath Ingredients weren’t elixirs; they were similar to Turtle Spirit Ointnt and simple to prepare.
First, he boiled the carefully selected herbs and Spiritual dicines for two full hours, until their dicinal properties fused.
He poured the concoction into a wooden tub filled with hot water, stripped off his clothes, and sat cross-legged in the dicinal bath.
Following the thod Gate of the Mixed Refining Vajra Body, he could clearly feel strands of dicinal power seeping through his skin and into his body. This power flowed into his skin and bones, subtly altering his physique.
His whole body itched intolerably, as if thousands of tiny insects were crawling on his skin, making it difficult to concentrate.
After several attempts, Jia Ren finally entered a ditative state and absorbed the dicinal power according to the Mixed Refining Vajra Body’s thod Gate.
An hour later, the water in the wooden tub had turned turbid, its dicinal power depleted.
He felt as if he had just received a full-body massage; his body felt lighter.
He clenched his fists and could clearly feel the increase in his physical strength.
For a beginner, the improvent was most distinct.
Mastering the entry-level of the Mixed Refining Vajra Body had its own signs: the formation of the corresponding Vajra Body.
As he operated the Mixed Refining Vajra Body’s thod Gate, a barely visible golden light suffused his body, eventually converging into a fist-sized golden spot over his heart.
Once the golden color fully perated his body, the Indestructible Vajra Body would be considered at its minor accomplishnt stage. At this stage, he would be capable of resisting Magic Artifacts and Spells, and engaging in close-quarter combat with First Order, inferior-grade Magical Beasts.
At major accomplishnt, the body would turn crimson-gold and could withstand dium-grade Magic Tools. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that lifting elephants with one hand would be effortless.
At perfection, the body would turn dark gold, and one could briefly withstand High-Grade Magic Artifacts, possessing indefatigable vitality and invincibility in sa-tier close-quarter combat.
To progress beyond the perfection of body and vitality, advanced Body Refining thod Gates had to be cultivated, leading to the Unbreakable Mixed Refining Vajra Body.
It’s unclear to what extent Yang Bingzhi has cultivated, but I fear he has achieved the major accomplishnt stage, the Crimson Vajra Body.
Reaching such a level in less than a year was a testant to his extraordinary talent.
My talent in Body Refinent may not match his, but I have the Proficiency Panel!
After each dicinal bath, his Proficiency Level for the Mixed Refining Vajra Body steadily increased, paving a smooth path for his future.
With a new dicinal bath prepared, Jia Ren took another soak.
Jia Ren seed determined to make up for all the baths he had missed while hidden in the tunnels, soaking as if he hadn’t bathed in ages.
For seven consecutive days, apart from the ti spent ditating and cultivating, Jia Ren spent almost all day in the wooden tub; he felt like he had shed three layers of skin.
He progressed from initially needing a full hour to absorb all the dicinal power in a bath, to eventually requiring a new bath in less than half an hour.
Haste makes waste.
Had it been anyone else undertaking such intense dicinal baths, the effects would have diminished over ti.
But Jia Ren was different. With each bath, combined with the Mixed Refining Vajra Body, there was improvent, steadily increasing his Proficiency Level.
After seven days of hard work, there wasn’t a single unrefined spot left on his entire body.
When he activated the Mixed Refining Vajra Body, he transford into a dazzling, pure golden figure.
