THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
158: Demon Woman Wants to Shower In My House?
"Poor?" Jiang Hao was confused. “But being an alchemist is very profitable. Why are they poor?”
Medicinal pills are generally expensive but highly coveted.
Each cultivation field had a unique pill required to refine cultivation. People usually save up to buy pills because the pills are effective. How could the alchemist be poor?
“How many alchemists do you think are in the Candlelight Pill Pavilion?” Leng Tian sighed. “More than 2,300 alchemists. There were only four alchemists who could purify pills above the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now, how many talisman makers in the entire sect? Just a few hundred. Talisman making is not a profitable profession, so their future is uncertain. That is the reason why fewer people are taking that path. Alchemy's different. The prospects are good and the profits are higher, so many people choose that path. Alchemy was even beneficial to cultivation, which was why the number of alchemists was far more than talisman makers. Many people only buy simple amulets. How to make it easy enough. Pill refining is a very difficult job.”
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised. The Candlelight Pill Pavilion had so many alchemists. Wouldn't they make a lot of money if they dared to come out?
But then he recalled the situation in the Heavenly Earth City. He felt the market value outside the sect was too low. It's not easy to make money.
“Saudari Leng, please continue,” said Jiang Hao. He wanted to know the whole situation.
Leng Tian sighed a little. “High limit weight means higher expenditure of spirit stones. Although the Candlelight Pill Pavilion had provided a lot of help, alchemy required constant experimentation to achieve progress. Each trial required a large number of spirit stones. Young Brother Jiang, you understand that making talismans also requires purchasing materials, right? And sometimes, the material becomes useless if you fail. So, just imagine how many ingredients the alchemists needed for their pill refinement. Coupled with a high failure rate, and it became a fruitless loss. If you want to improve your Alchemical skills, you must practice continuously.”
"I understand." Jiang Hao nodded. It was for the same reason he gave up on becoming an alchemist. Slow progress, high investment and the need for talent. Making talismans easier.
“But what about those who can purify pills in the Foundation Establishment Realm and above? Isn't their income a lot?” She asked.
“Because regular pills are too many, buyback is not high. When selling pills, customers bid slightly and lower the price even further. And this is because of the sect that takes care of us. The Snow Lotus Pavilion rarely sells ordinary pills, ” said Leng Tian. “So, the Alchemist Foundation Establishment Realm is very poor. They could only be freed from the difficulty after reaching the Golden Core Realm. After all, of the 2,300 alchemists, around 50% were in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and only about 20% of them reached the Golden Core Realm. The Primordial Spirit Realm accounted for about 15%. Only very few have reached Nature Back to Emptiness and beyond.”
“What's there besides Return to Void?” Jiang Hao was curious.
“I'm not too sure about that.” Leng Tian shook his head. “I've heard that, even in the entire sect, the number of alchemists in the Realm Back to the Void and beyond can be counted on the finger of one hand. Some seniors say it is because our foundation is too weak.”
Jiang Hao could understand that although there were many alchemists in the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, their qualities were average and mostly concentrated in the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, the large number meant that there would be more people advancing in the future.
High-level alchemists will contribute to the accumulation of knowledge and skills. Forging was considered inferior, and the making of talismans was not particularly noticed. In comparison, this sect was more concerned with formation masters. However, not even formation masters made much money. The threshold was not much lower than that of alchemy because it was too difficult.
“Senior Brother Leng, are you from the Pill Pavilion of Candlelight?” Jiang Hao asked.
"Yes." Yeah." Leng Tian nodded. She looks embarrassed. “To be honest, my talent in alchemy is not very high. It's a little embarrassing to admit it. But some seniors, including me, have thought of a solution. The best way to become an alchemist of the Golden Core Realm is to first advance to that realm and then proceed with alchemy.”
"So that's it." Jiang Hao nodded. Moving forward first is better. With a higher cultivation level, things would be easier.
He bid farewell to Leng Tian and went to buy some talisman-making materials.
When he returned to his house, he saw an unconscious spirit creature hanging on a tree branch. Jiang Hao knew Hong Yuye had arrived.
He looked around but did not see it. He raised his head to look at Hong Yuye on his balcony. Their eyes meet.
Then, a red mist appeared around Hong Yuye, and she reappeared in front of him.
“Is there no place to shower here?” ask Hong Yuye.
That question caught Jiang Hao off guard. “Uh.. there are, but there are no wooden tubs.'
“Then buy one,” said Hong Yuye. He threw the spirit beast into a corner and plucked a plump peach. “If I need to take a shower, and next time you don't have a bathtub, you will endure my wrath.”
Although Jiang Hao did not understand why Hong Yuye had come to his house to take a bath, he did not dare to refute him. He just nodded. "I understand." He just wished he wouldn't bother her again next time.
He plucked peaches from his tree and threw them at Jiang Hao. “I remember you said peaches are sweet. Try it now and see how it feels.”
“Senior, this peach.” Jiang Hao wanted to tell him about the Peach Tree Eternal but did not know how.
“I'll try it now!” said hurry.
He looked towards the peach tree and saw that all the ripe peaches had been exhausted. Did the spirit beings eat it?
She bites. Tastes sour.
“Sweet or sour?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Sweet and fragrant,” said Jiang Hao.
"really? So sweet, you said..” Her smile was cynical.
Jiang Hao nodded. “Sweet once.”
Bang out!
Jiang Hao was pushed against the wall with a powerful force. His back hurts a little.
When he regained consciousness, he realized that Hong Yuye had disappeared from the courtyard.
Immediately, a pleasant voice sounded in his ears. “I won't let you work for me without pay. I left some stuff on your desk. You should do some research before advancing to the Primordial Spirit Realm.”
There was a book on the table that didn't exist before. Jiang Hao looked at it with curiosity. On the cover are four big characters: Light and Dust.
“What kind of book is this?” Jiang Hao turned to the first page.
In his confusion, he opened the first page. There was a sentence written on it: “With its light, it blends with dust. In the future, the distance could reach a million miles. Retreat, he can disappear into the crowd without a trace.” “Is this a body technique?” Jiang Hao muttered.
Body technique was something he needed right now. Part of
Thousand Miles of Demonic Sound, he did not possess any good body techniques. Now that he had the Light and Dust technique, perhaps things would be much more convenient in the future. However, he did not know to what extent it could happen
achieved.
As he continued to flip through his courtyard, something was lamenting. The spirit creature has awakened. This time it did not last long on the ground. He rose up quickly. “Master, you have returned!”
The spirit beast ran towards him excitedly. “Master, did you bring me a gift?” he asked while jumping on the table.
"NO." Jiang Hao closed the book and shook his head.
“Master, my friends on the road are late opening their shop. How about you go now and bring me one now?” the spirit creature's advice.
“I didn't bring a gift, but I brought something else.” Jiang Hao pulled out a rope..
