Chapter 539: Updated Summary of Demonic Cultivation
After several breaths, the howling sound finally subsided.
Alchemical Pill Master!
Thinking of these four words, a sense of accomplishment surged in Liu Yu's heart.
Through alchemical pill refining, converting the incredible effects of the Immortal Abode into advantages had benefited him immensely.
Moreover, the path of alchemical pill refining was recognized as the most difficult and resource-intensive skill among the various arts of cultivating immortality.
After all, there were no shortcuts to save spiritual herbs during practice.
The high costs of practice had deterred most cultivators from the very beginning.
Alchemical Pill Masters were rarer than Golden Core cultivators, achieving this status was even harder, and their standing was higher than that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
Regardless of where they were, as long as one stated their identity as an Alchemical Pill Master, they should normally be able to enjoy decent treatment.
"Moderate, I suppose."
"After over a hundred years of learning alchemy, consuming countless spiritual herbs and elixirs, I have only reached this point; I cannot claim to be a genius."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu murmured to himself, the agitated lake of his heart gradually calming.
"To be safe, I must prepare a sum of spiritual stones for my journey to the Central Domain."
"This time, I will take the risk to refine third-tier elixirs and sell them myself."
This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind. After a short rest, he immediately began to refine pills again.
For this round of pill selling, he ultimately chose the Cultivating Yuan Pill, simply because this pill was the most common among third-tier elixirs, thus the risk was somewhat lower.
Moreover, its price was more than ten times that of second-tier elixirs.
"Zizizi"
In the furnace, the Azure Yang Devil Fire ignited once more, radiating a blue light.
Ignite, preheat, refine, condense the pill, open the furnace.
In the busy life dominated by alchemical pill refining and selling, two months slipped by quickly.
"Five hundred thousand spiritual stones."
"The value of third-tier spiritual elixirs is far beyond ordinary elixirs, and in a short time, I have gathered such a large sum."
"This way, I have also saved myself a lot of time."
Casting his spiritual consciousness over the storage bracelet, Liu Yu smiled as he counted the number of spiritual stones.
Then, he swallowed a Snow Ginseng Elixir and began his daily cultivation routine.
First, the Qingyang Skill, then the Art of Spirit Preservation, and finally, the Star Body.
After practicing qi refinement, spirit refinement, and body refinement once each, seven hours had already passed.
"Boom boom boom"
The stone gate slowly opened, and Liu Yu walked out of the training room.
After bathing and changing clothes, he lay down on the Grand Scholar Chair in the hall, taking out a cultivation technique book to browse.
In the world of the Immortal Abode, entering that "supreme" state, the deduction of cultivation techniques also relied on known knowledge for reasoning and imagination, so knowledge was still the key.
Without sufficient knowledge, even if one entered that state, there would be little progress.
It was like a skilled cook unable to make a meal without ingredients.
Thus, ever since he learned that he could deduce cultivation techniques through the Immortal Abode, Liu Yu placed even more importance on collecting various cultivation knowledge.
After completing his daily cultivation and nurturing his magical artifact, most of his remaining time was spent absorbing knowledge through reading.
"Books are the ladder of human progress?"
"No, knowledge is."
Seeing this line in a certain cultivation technique, Liu Yu shook his head after some thought and continued to browse.
Although it might not be absolutely correct, this was his current view.
"But does absolute correctness truly exist in this world?"
"As the civilization of cultivating immortality develops, will those known rules, which are as firm as iron laws, ever be overturned?"
