Chapter 83 - 83: Pill Refining Completed!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing the black stone’s words, Li Ming grew curious.
“Do you mean to say that cultivators can’t just keep on consuming pills to increase their cultivation?”
Hearing Li Ming’s question, the black stone immediately and kindly explained, “Of course they can’t. Although pills are refined with medicinal ingredients that are rich with spiritual qi, and thus contain spiritual qi together with other effects, it is but merely an auxiliary item after all. It cannot be compared to actual heaven and earth spiritual qi.”
“This is especially the case for qi cultivators.”
“After all, qi cultivators do not have physically strong bodies. If they were to continuously consume pills, although their cultivation will indeed rise in a short period of time, their physical foundation will also be ruined by the huge amount of foreign spiritual qi, ultimately costing them their future potential.”
“In other words, people who choose to take pills to increase their cultivation repetitively are very weak.”
“That is, unless the cultivator’s body can counter the detriments of medicinal pills.”
“However, even you are unable to completely do so. Refining pills is a time-consuming affair, and the materials required to refine them will cost you spirit stones. In the end, this path is no doubt a difficult one.”
After listening to the black stone’s explanation, Li Ming acquired a better understanding of the matter.
No matter how good pills were, they were ultimately just supplements. If a cultivator were to solely raise their cultivation through them, not only would they become lazy, but the side effects from doing so will significantly limit how far their cultivation can go in the future.
All cultivators hoped to be able to reach as far as they could on the path of cultivation. They clearly would not wish to cause their future to be ruined just for some temporary boost if they could afford it.
Similarly, that was not something that Li Ming wanted.
Now that he had refined all the pills he was tasked to refine, he was left with a considerable amount of medicinal herbs.
Li Ming did not stand on ceremony and directly stored them.
Of course, the black stone’s extorting nature had not changed. It absorbed all of the good herbs.
He did not maintain any courtesy with Li Ming at all.
However, Li Ming did not pay this any mind.
In any case, his cultivation did not require a lot of medicinal herbs.
Unlike spirit stones, medicinal herbs were obviously not that important to him.
At the very least, in Li Ming’s eyes, his most important goal was to cultivate with his feet on the ground.
After all, he was first and foremost a body cultivator. Li Ming knew very well the benefits of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art.
Now that he had reached the late-stage foundation establishment realm, as well as the sixth level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, Li Ming was very satisfied with the progress that he had recently made in his cultivation.
After finishing refining all the pills, Li Ming chose to rest for a while.
Once he had enough rest, he took the pills and headed to the Consecration Hall.
As he was now a consecrator of the sect, when he was on his way to the Consecration Hall, any of the disciples who he came across greeted him warmly.
“Hello, Elder Li.”
“Greetings, Elder Li.”
“Elder Li, can you refine a pill for me?”
These were all disciples who had once looked at him with disdain and ridicule, believing that his path of body cultivation had no future.
But now, the situation had completely changed.
Even in the cultivation world, such contrasts existed.
Status and position were obtained through strength.
If Li Ming had not become a pill refiner and only relied on the strength of his body and qi cultivation, he would at most be a core disciple of the sect.
He would then not have obtained as many resources, he would never have received the polite greetings of the other disciples of the sect, and he would still have to play up to the people of power and influence.
But now that he had become a pill refiner, the status and position that he had gained was clear as day.
However, after more than three years of body cultivation, Li Ming had long seen through the hearts of others.
After all, he had once entered with the title and identity of a prodigy. At that time, he was the center of attention.
But that had changed, and he had become regarded as a fool and a waste.
However, all of that has changed once more and he had returned to the limelight.
If it was an ordinary person, they would probably not have been able to hold on at the lowest point.
But Li Ming had managed to pull through.
Things that were commonplace would not shake Li Ming’s thoughts and ideologies.
His current thoughts were very simple. He wanted to cultivate and increase his strength. He would continue to advance on the path of cultivation, striving for immortality. This was what Li Ming wanted.
This was also what he was doing right now.
Consecration Hall.
By the time Li Ming arrived, all the consecrators were already waiting for him.
When they received Li Ming’s message, they all rushed over anxiously.
They had originally thought that Li Ming would have taken at half a month to finish refining all the fourth-grade pills that they had requested from him.
However, it had only been two to three days, and Li Ming seemed to have already completed refining all of the pills.
This left them extremely surprised.
They had clearly underestimated Li Ming’s talent in pill refining.
“Li Ming, you’re already done refining all of the pills?”
“So fast?”
The seventh consecrator stepped forward and looked at him with great surprise.
Previously, when Li Ming had helped him refine the pill he needed, he had already felt that it had been very fast. However, he did not expect that Li Ming would be able to refine so many more pills in such a short period of time.
He could not help but be amazed at just how extraordinary Li Ming’s talent in pill refining was.
“Hehe, they’re all done.”
“I sincerely hope that they do not disappoint all of you elders.”
“Here are all the fourth-grade profound spirit pills.”
As Li Ming spoke, he handed the profound spirit pills to the consecrators that had requested them.
The profound spirit pill was one of the best pills for golden core cultivators.
It could help them resolve some of the bottlenecks and problems in their cultivation.
These things were naturally invaluable to them.
After he had given out all the profound spirit pills, the great elder looked over.
Clearly, the medicinal pill that the great elder wanted was the real highlight of the task.
After all, it was a pill that was nearing the fifth grade. Refining such a pill would naturally not be easy.
Turning to look at the great elder, Li Ming immediately said, “Great elder, I have not managed to concoct a soul concentration pill that is close to the fifth grade. ”
Upon hearing this, the great elder did not express any worry or discontent. After all, Li Ming had just entered the path of pill refining not long ago. It was already amazing that he had managed to refine such a large number of fourth-grade profound spirit pills in such a short period of time. Just that feat alone was not something that other pill refiners could compare to.
Regardless, it seemed that the pill that he required was just a bit too difficult for Li Ming at the moment.
“That’s fine, Li Ming. Your current pill-refining talent is already much more than enough to sweep across the entire Eastern Continent. If the other sects were to know about this, there is no doubt that they would come and try to snatch you for themselves.”
“You do not need to hurry to refine the pill that the great elder requested. There is still a lot of time to spare.”
“Failure is common to pill refiners. If you do not experience failure even once, then have you truly learned?”
A few of the consecrators began to comfort him. They were naturally happy to have obtained the pills they requested.
Although these words left the great elder feeling a little awkward, what they said was indeed the truth.
Pill refinement was indeed unlike cultivating to increase one’s cultivation, nor was it fighting someone that was of a level higher in cultivation than you. The path of pill refinement was very strict. Without enough strength and experience, it was generally difficult to have many achievements in this field..
