"I want this inscription material, I will exchange five Heaven Opening Pills for you. I Can't pay you now, but I'll definitely repay you in the next two years. '' Lin Ming said to Zhou Xinyu as he pointed at the pile of materials in the room.
Five Heaven Opening Pills was far from covering the entire room price of rare and precious materials. Not only that, but Lin Ming only made a future promise for what he would owe. Of course, they had stated before that other than true essence stones, treasures, and manual jade slip cultivation methods, all the others would be divided among them. Although these materials were extremely valuable, they were not very useful to Zhou Xinyu compared to Heaven Opening Pills. Lin Ming also added, "And I won't take anything else. ”
Zhou Xinyu agreed as before. After entering the treasure storehouse, almost everything had been divided according to Lin Ming's mind; he was not at all opposed to his suggestion.
Lin Ming also said, “I will seclude myself here for three months. After that, I will leave for Divine Phoenix Island. Do you want to travel with me? "
Mu Qianyu had given Lin Ming three months before he had to return to Divine Phoenix Island and enter the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm. He would be unemployed for these three months, so cultivating here was perfect. Not only that, but there were also several essence gathering arrays in this treasure warehouse, and the heaven and earth origin energy here was no worse than in the Seven Profound Valleys. The person who built this treasure warehouse probably had similar plans on what to do here. In this treasure warehouse, they could seek safety in a mental hospital and also cultivate.
Lin Ming opened the door and discovered that there was a decent sized underground lake inside. In the lake there are also some white fish. This confirmed his conjecture, there were even food sources connected here.
Zhou Xinyu had nowhere to go, so she prepared to go into seclusion just like Lin Ming did. Afterwards, he would go to Divine Phoenix Island with Lin Ming. That place was the sacred ground of cultivation for Zhou Xinyu. Zhou Xinyu dreamed of breaking through to the Revolving Core realm, and this was impossible without the support of a large sect.
Like this, a boring and boring cultivation day began.
Lin Ming had many things he needed to accomplish in this period, the three-month timeline was already extremely tight.
Lin Ming and Zhou Xinyu each took two separate side compartments from the room. There was an invisible line drawn between the rooms. With this midline as the dividing point, they would not try to break into their respective territories; this was the request that Lin Ming had made.
After Zhou Xinyu heard this, her face turned red and white in anger. In the situation of men and women sharing a room, the most nervous are usually women, because their strength is often much lower than that of men. Although Zhou Xinyu had many dissatisfied thoughts about Lin Ming, she felt that his character was honest and trustworthy.
However, he did not think that Lin Ming would be the one to make this request. It was as if he was afraid that he was a cougar that would take advantage of him; how could he not be angry?
Lin Ming did not think that he would anger Zhou Xinyu in this way. The truth was that he only wanted to hide the secret of the medicinal inscription from Zhou Xinyu. Not only that, but his cultivation process was rather terrifying. If it was known by Zhou Xinyu that he would eat the Heaven Opening Pill like candy, his chin would probably fall to the ground.
At the beginning of Lin Ming's secluded cultivation, he spent most of his time practicing inscriptions. Only after most of his soul power was consumed would he meditate and then purify the impurities and poison pills from his body.
Back when Lin Ming was poor, he was not even willing to use writing materials for training. Instead, he used his true essence to simulate the process, drawing the same symbol tens of thousands of times.
Now, however, he had a large amount of high-quality materials that he could use freely from punishment, and he also had the support of his powerful soul force. After his true essence was depleted, he could only use an intermediate-tier true essence stone to recover it. He could exchange low-grade true essence stones to Zhou Xinyu with middle-grade true essence stones.
The peng!
A beautiful mass of light illuminated the entire dark stone room, like a pile of beautiful fireworks. However, the value of this beautiful display was several hundred true essence stones within the materials. Even just a single stalk of 500-year-old Nepenthe Grass was worth 100 true essence stones. In an instant, 100,000 gold had turned into ashes.
Such a failure would happen many times in one day.
Such a failure would happen many times in one day.
Every day three or four middle-tier true essence stones would turn white and explode into dust. Using this method of wasting lost money, and also with the memories of the supreme elder of the God Realm, Lin Ming's inscription technique improved by leaps and bounds.
Sometimes Lin Min would see jade inscription techniques slipping in the stone room. Although this jade slip was second level compared to the inscription technique of the Realm of the Gods, this jade slip was still able to provide Lin Ming with some inspiration. After all, the writing materials of the Realm of the Gods were very different from the writing materials of the Sky Spill Continent.
Every day, when Lin Ming's soul power was drained, he would resist the urge to sleep and instead start meditating, purifying the impurities of true essence. After a few hours, Lin Ming would always feel extremely hungry, and he would catch a few plump white fish from the underground lake and roast them over the fire. He would give some to Zhou Xinyu, and this was one of the few times when the two would exchange words.
Every time he ate the fish, Zhou Xinyu would maintain a completely calm surface stance. However, his innermost feelings were constantly amazed by Lin Ming's cooking technique. Especially when he saw Lin Ming take out a small blade from his spatial ring and slice through all the fish bones in just a few dozen blows. Even the bones and small pieces were cut, leaving only a soft piece of fish meat. This caused Zhou Xinyu to feel extremely shocked. This type of cooking craft is completely irrelevant and separate from cultivation. Without a long training, it is impossible to do this.
These fish bones are placed in pots and made into fish bone soup. This strange white fish that did not even have eyes was originally a bony fish. After the fish bones are boiled for about an hour, a delicious and gentle aroma will come out.
The only drawback in this situation was that Lin Ming was not cooking enough. Sometimes he would stay in seclusion for four or five days, completely immersed in his training.
Like this, a month passed. The 100 level true essence stones were being transformed into white dust. These middle-grade true essence stones traded from Zhou Xinyu according to the market price.The 100 medium-grade true essence stones had consumed Lin Ming 10,000 low-grade true essence stones.
Other than a large amount of crushed materials, the losses were already in the tens of thousands of true essence stones.
Today, Lin Ming's eyes turned red. He clenched his teeth as he smashed the yellow symbol paper and flames lit up in the dark room like a beacon of light. The flames wrapped around the Heaven Opening Pill, and within a few blinks of the eye it turned into a beautiful brand of fire that signified itself on top of a sparkling jade green pill. After the luster of light, the room became as dark as before.
"Finally done!"
Lin Ming gasped. This medicinal inscription symbol would be able to increase the effect of the Heaven Opening Pill by around 50%.
A 50% increase in the efficacy of the drug seems to be only slight, but in reality the effect is much greater. In general, the pill has a limit on the efficacy of the drug according to its level. Once this limit is exceeded, there is no point in eating anymore.
The inscription symbol was able to increase the medicinal efficacy by 50%. This was the same as increasing the grade of the Heaven Opening Pill by a large amount, and also increasing its value by several times. In an environment where Heaven Opening Pills were extremely rare, if this matter was known to a large sect, it would be an overwhelming problem.
Lin Ming did not dare to randomly swallow the Crushed Demon Heart Crystal. However, he was not careful about the Heaven Opening Pill. Lin Ming sat in meditation, recovered his strength, and then directly inserted the heaven-opening pill into his mouth.
A moment later, the Heaven Opening Pill turned into a stream of heat that entered his body and scattered in all directions. As it mixed with all of his meridians, he felt a familiar tingling feeling. But, after Lin Ming suffered the ungodly torment of the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal, the pain of this level was nothing to him.
Normally when a martial artist took out a Heaven Opening Pill, they would feel a searing heat origin energy coursing through their meridians and skin before disappearing from their pores. This was also the same feeling when Lin Ming had taken the Heaven Opening Pill last time.
But this time, the origin energy contained within by the invisible power of the medicinal inscription symbol, was forcibly locked within Lin Ming's body.
The hot origin energy repeatedly rushed against this invisible energy, but was unable to cope. This only made the origin energy harder, rushing left and right within Lin Ming's meridians. The medicinal efficacy had become extremely brutal at this moment.
If a normal martial artist were to encounter this situation, it would be a curse and not a blessing. In fact, they would not even be able to survive through such a savage attack. But Lin Ming had already fought many of these battles before, and even the Opening Pill with 50% increased strength was only able to cause his brows to tighten and his palms to sweat. It wasn't too much suffering; it was just like he was drinking a bowl of boiling hot water.
After a quarter of an hour of time, the crazy heat flow succumbed to Lin Ming's strength, allowing him to control it. Now, the process of Angry Tempering could really begin.
After the increase in strength from the medicinal inscription symbol, the effect of the Heaven Opening Pill was much better. Lin Ming used this Heaven Opening Pill to temper his left arm.
This time, Lin Ming did not even absorb the slightest bit of origin energy to increase his cultivation. There were still many pill poison in his body. If he hurriedly increased his cultivation like this, it would only harm him.
After a few days of meditation, his marrow had fully absorbed the medicinal properties. Now, Lin Ming began to immediately draw a second medicinal inscription symbol.
After he wrote down the second Heaven Opening Pill, he then swallowed it.
This same stinging sensation returned, but it was much lighter than before. Lin Ming used a continuous quarter hour before he finally controlled the efficacy of the medicine and began to temper his right leg.
After two days, the second Heaven Opening Pill was finally absorbed; this was much faster than the first time.
This process continued for a month. Lin Ming continued taking the Heaven Opening Pill that was enhanced by the medicinal inscription symbol again and again. Finally, he began to use a part of the Heaven Opening Pill to wash his marrow and muscles, removing some gray impurities from his body. But, because he ate too many Heaven Opening Pills, the impurities in Lin Ming's body had reached a point where they could not be removed anymore.
As the energy in Lin Ming's body constantly piled up, the effects of the Heaven Opening Pill continued to weaken. This is an inevitable reality.
Lin Ming had originally guessed that he would need around one or two thousand Heaven Opening Pills to complete Angry Tempering. But the reality was that the only Sky Opening Pill that would play any role was the first 100-200 Heaven Opening Pill. After 30-40% of the Tempering Fury was completed, the Heaven Opening Pill would be useless.
At the end of the month, Lin Ming only needed an hour of time to fully absorb the medicinal efficacy of the Heaven Opening Pill. From this, one could see how quickly the efficacy of the drug had dropped.
Of the 18 Heaven Opening Pills he had obtained from the treasure warehouse along with the two he had obtained previously, Lin Ming had collected a total of 20 Heaven Opening Pills. However, after eating all of this, Lin Ming only completed 10% of Angry Tempering. With the part of the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal he had swallowed before, Tempering Marrow Lin Ming had reached around 20% completion.
But at this moment, the residual medicinal properties within Lin Ming's body had already reached a limit.
