Liu Yu headed straight towards his temporary residence.
"Relying on the abundant resources of Divine Capital City, I have spent a large amount of spiritual stones, and things are going quite smoothly for now."
"It won't be long before I can gather all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Consolidation Yuan Pill and the Azure Void Elixir."
"However, the 'Soul Condensing Elixir' is still a bit tricky. Even in Divine Capital City, the collection progress is not as fast as I had imagined."
"It seems that no matter where you are, spiritual objects that can directly affect the Primordial Spirit or spiritual consciousness are extremely precious and rarely circulate in the market."
Thinking this way, regardless of how bustling Immortal City was, he quietly blended into the crowds and kept moving towards the cave dwelling.
"Boom!"
The formation activated, emitting an extremely subtle sound, and Liu Yu stepped in boldly.
As his spiritual consciousness swept across, he found Zhuo Mengzhen and Zhang Yi training in the room, so he also entered the training room.
Ever since Zhuo Mengzhen had gained her status, she had settled down completely and quickly adapted to her new identity, playing her role well.
Although she was already his concubine, with Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan as precedents, Liu Yu was not going to let her gain resources for nothing.
She must work for him to earn elixirs, spiritual stones, and other resources.
For example, handling some trivial matters for him, gathering information, and selling elixirs, etc.
Knowing the "formation," although the income for a second-tier formation master is not high, it still provides some benefits.
In addition, she can also obtain a portion of resources from Liu Yu, so Zhuo Mengzhen's current training conditions are much better than before.
At least every half month, she could take an elixir for cultivation, and this woman could buy elixirs directly from Liu Yu at "internal prices."
The spiritual stones in Liu Yu's storage bracelet had also been steadily increasing over the past period and had reached as many as seven hundred thousand!
Even though purchasing various spiritual herbs requires spending a considerable amount of spiritual stones, the profits from third-tier spiritual elixirs are simply too large to ignore.
For instance, the "Essence Pill" consumed during the Golden Core Mid Stage generally costs around sixteen thousand spiritual stones per bottle, while the material cost for refining each batch is approximately five thousand spiritual stones.
This means that the success rate must be close to thirty percent to ensure no losses, and only exceeding thirty percent would allow for a return on investment.
However, Liu Yu's method of accelerating the growth of spiritual herbs in the Immortal Abode allows him to control the cost of refining each batch of materials to around sixteen hundred spiritual stones, which is less than one-third of the former.
This means that as long as the success rate exceeds ten percent, achieving one successful batch out of ten materials guarantees no losses.
With the superior advantages of the Immortal Abode, Liu Yu accumulated substantial experience early on and became an "alchemical pill master," with the success rate of refining the mid-grade "Purple Yuan Pill" stabilizing at forty percent long ago.
Therefore, the initial success rate for refining the high-quality "Essence Pill" would not be too low, starting at over ten percent, which places it in a state of guaranteed profit.
Later, after acquiring the "Azure Alchemical Cauldron," the success rate steadily exceeded thirty percent, and each refinement brought in a substantial profit.
Thus, even with significant expenditures on spiritual herbs, the costs are offset, leaving him with a considerable surplus.
Even with strict control over the number of elixirs released, the spiritual stones in his storage bracelet continue to grow.
In this situation, practicing low-key is undoubtedly the best choice.
Refining third-tier elixirs requires at least one five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb, and high-age spiritual herbs have become increasingly rare due to the overharvesting by cultivators.
