Chapter 429 Disadvantages

Yes, although Ye Han successfully practiced the Thunder Escape Technique, he did not practice a thunder-related technique, which led to his special consumption of mana when he cast thunder-related spells.

His series of killings of three foundation-building cultivators seemed very easy, but in fact, he had already cast thunder-related spells with all his strength, and his other spells consumed less than one-tenth of his mana.

The Light Thunder Escape Technique consumed 80% of his mana, and thunder and lightning were considered to consume less.

So although this Thunder Escape Technique is powerful, the consumption of mana is too terrifying. Continuous casting will soon drain his mana. Fortunately, he has a purple cauldron to store so much mana aura, which can support him to cast this Thunder Escape Technique.

However, this consumption is too great. The aura stored in the purple cauldron that can restore mana is not generated out of thin air, but needs to absorb pills to restore and replenish.

In other words, the current consumption of his Thunder Escape Technique is the value of five or six spiritual energy pills. One spiritual energy pill costs hundreds of spiritual stones, and five or six costs thousands of spiritual stones...

This is a very wasteful behavior. You should know that even for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is not easy to get thousands of spiritual stones.

The three evil cultivators that Ye Han just killed only had more than 10,000 spiritual stones in their trophy storage bags. It can be seen that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators are not so rich.

This is not the first time. The three Foundation Establishment cultivators that Ye Han killed in the Demon Heaven Battlefield also had only more than 10,000 spiritual stones on them.

Of course, most cultivators will not store a large amount of spiritual stones on their bodies. They almost all exchange them for useful pills for their own cultivation, treasures for fighting, etc.

So although Ye Han used the purple tripod to absorb the aura of the pills and store them to restore his cultivation, he could not withstand such a large consumption. He was fighting purely with spiritual stones.

In fact, although Ye Han destroyed the lair of the Ice Refining Prince twice in the Burial Land of Immortals and killed all the monsters and puppets there, he should have practiced for only two years and had no shortage of spiritual stones and elixirs.

But in fact, in the past two years, although Ye Han could not practice due to the frostbite on his arm in the early stage, he had been using the Refining Treasure Technique to refine the spiritual weapon-level treasures he obtained, such as the Millennium Iron Wood Sword, the Dinglong Bracelet, and the Earth Spirit Shield.

In addition to these treasures he often used, he also obtained a lot of treasures from the foundation-building cultivators such as the Black Mountain Prince and the Black-faced Man of the Black Mountain Sect, although few of them were spiritual weapon-level.

But now he is a practitioner of the four elements of wood, water, fire and earth, and it is not enough to have only the skills and immortal methods, so he also refined many treasures outside the wood element. Most of these treasures are at the level of magic tools, and only a few are at the level of spiritual tools.

There was no way around it. After all, few of the foundation-building cultivators he killed had good treasures on them. The blood Taoist in the middle stage of the foundation-building period had quite a few treasures on him, but unfortunately they were all destroyed by the Devil-Breaking Thunder.

And the treasure-refining technique to refine treasures requires constant consumption of mana to refine faster.

In order to speed up the refining process, Ye Han has been using the treasure-refining technique and using the three-turn spirit-refining pill to restore the purple tripod mana storage.

In this way, the pills he consumed are actually several times more than those of ordinary cultivators.

If Ye Han had not emptied the lair of the ice-refining prince, how could he have so many pills and spirit stones to use the treasure-refining technique to refine treasures.

After Ye Han took the fruit of the Devil-Breaking Thunder, his arm frostbite healed, and he consumed more to cultivate his cultivation and practice the Thunder Escape Technique.

It can be said that although the treasure of Purple Cauldron is extremely powerful, the consumption is really terrifying. Ye Han himself can't believe it. He found that he had used up more than half of the pill reserves that could allow ordinary cultivators to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building without any problems after only practicing for more than two years.

However, although Ye Han's cultivation level did not improve much on the surface, he was actually much stronger than before.

It is a pity that although Ye Han has improved a lot in all aspects in the past two years, the improvement in blood refining is very small, that is, a small half of the fifth level of blood refining, not even half.

On the one hand, it is because taking ordinary body refining pills for cultivation is useless. He has to consume the essence and blood of monsters to cultivate. His physical cultivation has reached the bottleneck of his current cultivation level. Even if he uses the essence and blood of monsters for cultivation, the effect is very general.

On the other hand, he did not put all his resources and energy on this body refining technique like Zhang Qingshan. Otherwise, even if he did not get the thousand-year rebirth medicine liquid of Prince Lianbing like Zhang Qingshan and break through to the seventh level of peak cultivation, he could have reached the sixth level.

In the past two years, Ye Han used the purple tripod at all costs, consuming a lot of elixirs, and also spent a lot on refining talismans, puppets, and array formations.

It can be said that Ye Han's current strength is all built up by elixirs.

With such a terrifying accumulation, any cultivator with average qualifications will also be greatly improved in cultivation strength.

But the consumption is almost draining Ye Han.

So Ye Han decided to take on many tasks in Shangling Land and go to Shangling Land to find the essence of the three-eyed Vermillion Bird.

Asking the Magnolia Fairy to help repair the ancient teleportation array, which requires the essence of the three-eyed Vermillion Bird, is actually just an opportunity.

On the other hand, the main reason is that he thought that he couldn't just sit back and eat up all the money, and he couldn't expect to have such good luck every time, to get a lot of treasures and elixirs and be able to come back alive.

Especially knowing that many disciples never came back after going down the mountain, they all died for various reasons, went to dangerous places to look for opportunities and were killed by monsters, and never knew where they met immortal cultivators who killed people and robbed treasures, and if they couldn't beat them, they would die.

After reading so many immortal cultivators' travel notes and autobiographies, and having experienced such a long career as an immortal cultivator.

Ye Han deeply knows how cruel this immortal cultivation world is.

Although he has no shortage of cultivation elixirs, treasures, spirit stones, and even techniques for the time being, he must be prepared for danger in times of peace, do these relatively simple tasks, accumulate little by little, and make his immortal cultivation path to longevity more stable and safe.

The reason why most immortal cultivators take risks to kill people and rob treasures and go to dangerous places to look for opportunities is actually because of the shortage of treasures and cultivation resources. They can't continue to cultivate and can only take risks...

Ye Han also consumes too fast. Even if he doesn't go down the mountain and continues to cultivate, the cultivation resources on his body can only allow him to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building at most.

Because even in Qingxuan Sect, he is the disciple of the seventh elder, and it is impossible for him to get these cultivation resources for nothing.

Otherwise, the Seventh Elder would not have asked him to do more sect tasks after he returned from the Demon Heaven Battlefield, because only disciples who truly contribute to the sect are worth training.

Thinking of this, Ye Hanyao looked to the southwest, and a snow-capped mountain appeared on the horizon. Beyond this area, it is the Shangling area.

Looking at the mountain range, Ye Han couldn't help but look serious.
