Chapter 707: Spending Resources to Cultivate

Half a month later, he had consumed and refined all 15 Tianyuan Fruits.

His cultivation advanced further and he made a big step forward in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Without the Tianyuan Fruit, he directly took the rootless Chiling tea with golden and silver leaves.

As a third-level spiritual tea, the Rootless Red Spiritual Tea can also play a great auxiliary role in improving his true energy and blood power.

It turned out that he was planning to keep these precious rootless red spirit teas and use them to restore his qi, blood, and true essence at the critical moment.

However, I see that the family is developing rapidly.

Zhang Xuan himself is almost becoming a drag.

This spurred him to take a step forward.

"The only way to cultivate is to directly transform these precious resources into real strength."

He also consumed all the rootless red spirit tea.

The true essence in his top-grade golden elixir became even more substantial and pure.

"With so many resources invested, reaching the peak of the Golden Core is just around the corner." A smile appeared on Zhang Xuan's lips.

After all, whether it is the Tianyuan Fruit or the Rootless Red Spirit Tea, they are things that can only be encountered by chance.

They are a few rare treasures from heaven and earth that can directly replenish all attributes of true essence.

There is no more Tianyuan Fruit and Rootless Red Spirit Tea on hand.

If he wants to improve further, he needs to absorb fire and thunder attribute spiritual energy.

The fire-attributed spiritual energy is easy to explain, as it is one of the five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

But there is not a single bit of thunder attribute spiritual energy.

Or, you can use the Great Five Elements Spiritual Evolution Technique and spend a lot of time to transform the five elements spiritual energy into thunder attribute spiritual energy.

Or it can be directly absorbed through thunder attribute spiritual objects and converted into thunder attribute true essence.

When he was in the underground mine, Zhang Xuan collected a lot of spiritual objects with thunder attributes.

After several battles, he had a lot of thunder-attributed spiritual ores among his spoils.

Zhang Xuan took out the thunder attribute spiritual objects and spiritual ore and began to absorb them.

Transformed into pure thunder attribute true essence and merged with fire attribute true essence.

Although the speed is much slower than Tianyuan Fruit and Rootless Red Spirit Tea, it is much faster than directly using the Great Five Elements Spiritual Transformation Technique to slowly transform.

A large amount of thunder-attributed spiritual wood, spiritual stones, spiritual minerals, and spiritual objects were absorbed by Zhang Xuan and turned into waste.

When Zhang Xuan absorbed all the thunder-attributed spiritual objects in the storage ring, the waste residue alone filled half the room.

However, the results are very encouraging.

The true energy in the top-grade golden elixir has become bright and brilliant after being compressed and polished again and again, and it is not far from the peak of the golden elixir.

Calculating the time, Zhang Xuan has been practicing in seclusion in the private room for four months.

The resources consumed in these four months are equivalent to decades of time for an ordinary Jindan cultivator.

Only a wealthy man like Zhang Xuan, who was stimulated by the development of Fairy Cat Valley, would invest resources in cultivation so lavishly.

Other Jindan cultivators would only use the rootless red spirit tea, Tianyuan fruit, and thunder-attributed spiritual objects in emergencies.

What kind of monk is crazy enough to use these as nourishment for daily practice?

"Poor..." Zhang Xuan sighed.

The retreat time was not short. Zhang Xuan walked out of the private room and came to the deck.

Former Dan Daoxing master Xu Anming was also on duty on the deck.

"Senior Xu." Zhang Xuan greeted warmly.

Xu Anming glanced at Zhang Xuan and found that in just four months, his magic power had improved a lot and he was not far from the peak of the Golden Core. He couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Captain, how did you train? Four months is equivalent to forty years of hard training for others."

"It's nothing, I just used up all the natural treasures I accumulated some time ago." Zhang Xuan had a big smile on his face.

"It's all consumed..."

Xu Anming was stunned.

He knew the captain's worth.

More than those Nascent Souls.

Consuming all the natural treasures would be enough for a Jindan cultivator to advance to the Yuanying stage.

Zhang Xuan ignored the other party's surprised look.

I just happened to have some doubts about alchemy, so I could ask this old alchemy practitioner from the holy land for advice.

"Senior Xu, have you ever been to Danguang City?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Of course I have been there. In the entire Dongming Treasure Region, Danguan City is the best in terms of alchemy skills, except for the Holy Land."

"I discovered that there is a big difference between the alchemy techniques in the Holy Land and Danguang City."

"What's the difference? Tell me."

“Danguang City not only pursues the quality of the pills, but also takes pride in being able to refine golden pills. For example, in the evaluation of the Grand Master of Alchemy, even if one can refine a third-level medium-quality pill, one may not be rated as a Grand Master of Alchemy. However, if one can refine a second-turn second-level golden pill, one can immediately become one of the top ten Grand Masters of Alchemy…”

"I know what you want to ask," Xu Anming laughed, "You want to ask why the cultivators in Danguang City are proud of refining golden elixirs and regard refining the first or even second level as their lifelong pursuit, while the alchemists in the Holy Land are not so fanatical about refining golden elixirs, right?"

"Yes Yes……"

"Whether it's a high-grade elixir or a golden elixir, they are all for cultivators to take. Danguang City is located on a third-level spiritual vein, and the spiritual fields that can produce third-level spiritual medicines are only about 8 acres. Do you know that the entire holy land is located on a fourth-level spiritual vein, and how many third-level spiritual fields are there?"

"How much?" Henry Zhang asked curiously.

"The third-level spiritual fields have reached 150 million mu, and the fourth-level spiritual fields have also reached 8000 mu."

"What does this have to do with the alchemy trends in the two places?"

"It matters a lot. A second-level golden elixir or a third-level elixir, which one do you think is more valuable to a cultivator?"

"This... should be about the same."

"That's right. Since they are almost the same, the Holy Land has enough third-level spiritual fields and third-level spiritual medicines are easy to get. Then we must prioritize the improvement of the alchemy realm instead of pursuing the golden elixir. After all, refining a second-level golden elixir is much more difficult than refining a third-level elixir."

"Oh, I understand," Zhang Xuan suddenly realized, "Danguang City is precisely because third-level spiritual medicines are rare, and there are no fourth-level spiritual medicines, so they try their best to refine golden elixirs with limited spiritual medicines, so as to maximize the efficiency of spiritual medicine utilization."

"That's right, the captain is really quick to understand."

"I have another question. Senior Xu just said that refining a second-level golden elixir is more difficult than refining a third-level elixir. Is that true?"

Zhang Xuan’s advancement in alchemy was mostly based on the Twelve Heavenly Sounds Diagram.

I don't really have a deep understanding of the difficulty of advancing these two types of alchemy.

Xu Anming glanced at Zhang Xuan.

Some time ago, the captain had been talking to him about alchemy.

Sometimes there would be some profound introductions, and even he felt benefited a lot.

Sometimes he would ask some extremely ignorant questions that even ordinary alchemists could understand.

However, Xu Anming still said patiently:

"The difficulty of refining a second-level golden elixir is definitely greater than that of refining a third-level elixir. Captain, have you ever heard of the Thousand Laws and the Ten Thousand Laws of Alchemy?"
