Magical Equipment Exposition

The next step was a happy reading and installation process. He stored all the pill recipes in the system in one go. There were also many pill recipe research notes, totaling 103.7 MB.

In an instant, the recipe page for [Alchemy] expanded by several pages. There were records of all kinds of practical medicinal pills and all kinds of strange and special medicinal pills.

The only pity was that more than half of the formulas were marked in gray. Obviously, with Cheng Xu’s current refining ability, he was still unable to refine these high-level pills.

“Eh? Even the level of my Pharmacology has increased,” Cheng Xu muttered. He saw that his level 10 Pharmacology level actually rose to level 12 in one go.

From this, he could see how valuable the medicinal knowledge contained in the pill research notes left behind by the Medicine Immortal Valley’s predecessors were.

Sadly, his refining ability was still only at an advanced level. He didn’t know how much alchemy knowledge he had to collect to upgrade his alchemy ability to the next level.

After returning to his cave abode, Cheng Xu began to study the pill formulas in the application of [Medicine Refining].

What he focused on the most was the supplementary pill for Foundation Establishment Cultivation, the True Essence Pill. This pill could effectively increase the speed of true essence condensation and speed up the progress of Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

Furthermore, after generations of improvements by the Medicine Immortal Valley’s ancestors, the current formula for the True Energy Pill was already quite suitable for the people.

But even so, many of the materials were not easy to obtain.

“It doesn’t seem to have reached the limits of Pharmacology,” Cheng Xu observed. He didn’t even think about it and immediately used the cultivation computer to optimize it. It would take a total of seven and a half days for the optimization. He turned his attention to the other pill recipes.

“Marrow And Tendon Cleansing Pill?” Looking at the ingredients required for the Marrow And Tendon Cleansing Pill, he couldn’t help but click his tongue. “No wonder it’s impossible to refine it now.”

At least five of the ingredients were hard to obtain, and the main herb, Marrow Changing Flower, had long gone extinct in Small Southern Heaven.

Fortunately, the Marrow And Tendon Cleansing Pill recipe did not seem to have reached the limits of its medicinal efficacy. After confirming the optimization, the countdown to the optimization actually showed 18 days.

“I hope I can optimize the Marrow Changing Flower,” Cheng Xu secretly prayed, then focused his eyes on the cracking pill’s recipe.

The recipe for the cracked pill was still gray, but it still could not stop Cheng Xu’s curiosity about it. After all, it was a high-grade medicinal pill worth one of his own.

“Speaking of which, what’s with the Core Formation Stage?” he wondered.

From the end of the experiential learning until now, Cheng Xu struggled with the problem of the Core Formation Stage and searched for some related information in the library cave.

Reading them, he could only say that the immortal cultivation realms in this world were indeed different.

Starting from the Golden Core Stage, the subsequent stages were the Core Transformation Stage and Convergence Stage. And the Convergence Stage was the peak.

There wasn’t much information about these two realms. It only mentioned that after the Golden Core was cultivated to the limit, it had to actively break during the heavenly tribulation, causing a qualitative change in magical power.

But wouldn’t it be self-destruction if he broke his Golden Core? Not to mention, breaking his Golden Core during the heavenly tribulation, wasn’t that pure suicide?

As for the subsequent Core Formation Stage, there was no further description. It only mentioned that there was such a realm.

…

Seven days passed by in a flash.

The formula of the True Energy Pill had been successfully optimized to the limits of medicinal theory, and the cost of refining it had been greatly reduced.

Cheng Xu had not been idle for the past few days. He had been soaking in the library cave to expand his pharmacological data. He had basically installed all the alchemy books in the Medicine Celestial Valley and successfully upgraded his Pharmacological Level to level 15. The size of the alchemy application had also expanded to 1074 MB, which was more than a GB.

However, there was still no improvement in his refining ability. It was still only at the advanced level. This made Cheng Xu suspect that advanced was the maximum.

However, from the results of the True Energy Pill that he had refined, his refining ability had improved, but not by much.

“You don’t say. The effects of this high-grade True Energy Pill are really good,” he said to himself.

After successfully using the superior-grade True Essence Pill he had concocted, his cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Unfortunately, upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, the experience bar became frighteningly long. It would take at least a year to see the end.

“Eh? the Glorious Crimson Scripture has broken through?” he murmured. When the last true energy pill’s medicinal effect ended, Cheng Xu was about to end his cultivation, but to his surprise, he discovered that the Red Glory Black Sutra had broken through to the second realm.

Cultivation techniques weren’t like martial arts and spell techniques, where a few layers could be directly installed. Cultivation techniques usually only had one set of complicated skill formulas. After cultivating it, one would reach the first realm. The subsequent improvements would all depend on one’s comprehension and the accumulation of time.

After breaking through to the second level of the Glorious Scarlet Scripture, the enhancement of the fire and wood elements was obvious.

The power and effects of both the White Flame True Technique and the Poison Ivy technique had clearly increased.

“Not bad, not bad. It seems that my comprehension is not bad!”

After all, the operating memory (comprehension) had increased from 128 MB to 512 MB.

…

He left the cave and found his master, Chi Yao Zhenren.

“Little Cheng, you’ve come at the right time. I’ve already thoroughly understood the recipe for your Foundation Building Elixir,” Chi Yao Zhenren said with an excited expression. “Some of the medicinal theory ideas have really benefited me a lot~!”

Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly, “That… Can we set off now?”

“Depart? Where are you going?” his master asked.

“Didn’t you say you were going to the Scorching Sun Sect?”

“Oh, right!” Chi Yao zhenren slapped his forehead and hurriedly began to pack his things.

“Oh, right!” Chi Yao Zhenren slapped his forehead and hurriedly began to pack his things. After a while, he walked out of the cave abode with Cheng Xu. “I’ll go to the merit Hall to exchange some spirit stones first, do you want to come with me?”

“Alright, I’ll exchange some too.”

When they arrived at the merit Hall, Cheng Xu exchanged 8000 merit points for spiritual stones in one go, which was a total of 200000 spiritual stones.

He had thought he was already pretentious enough, but he didn’t expect that Chi Yao Zhenren was even more ruthless. He casually swiped his identity card and directly exchanged it for 200000 merit points, which scared Cheng Xu silly.

“Aren’t you getting too many contribution points?” Cheng Xu swallowed his saliva as he watched.

“Half of the sect’s high-grade medicinal pill orders are handled by your master, so after so many years, I’ve naturally accumulated a lot of contribution points.”

Cheng Xu clicked his tongue and nodded.

“Let’s go to the Scorching Sun Sect,” Chi Yao Zhenren declared. Walking out of the merit Hall, he took out a big gourd and flew in the direction of the Scorching Sun Sect with Cheng Xu.

“By the way, master, why are you going to the Scorching Sun Sect?” Cheng Xu inquired.

“The Scorching Sun Sect holds a magical equipment exhibition every year. In the past, it was always your senior uncle, sect leader, or senior uncle Ma who attended. But this year, the Scorching Sun Sect has specifically invited me. Since your martial uncles are currently obsessed with the medicinal mantra and don’t want to waste time, I’ve decided to represent the Medicine Immortal Valley this year,” Chi Yao Zhenren explained.

Cheng Xu nodded in understanding and asked curiously, “What’s this magical equipment exposition about?”

“It’s actually a trade fair where the Scorching Sun Sect sells all kinds of magical equipment. Every year, it attracts a large number of cultivators from the sect and rogue cultivators,” Chi Yao Zhenren answered.

“Would it have a flying sword?” Cheng Xu asked.

“Of course, when the time comes, just tell me if you see anything you like,” Chi Yao Zhenren boasted as he patted the storage bag on his waist, exuding the air of a nouveau riche.

“Speaking of which,” Cheng Xu said confusedly, “the demonic sects are in chaos now. Is it really okay for the Scorching Sun Sect to organize such a big event? ”

“What are you talking about? Can’t our righteous path operate normally when the demonic path is in chaos? Besides, ever since that devil was seriously injured last time, the devil Dao has obviously quieted down a lot recently,” Chi Yao Zhenren chuckled.

Cheng Xu was left speechless.

The Medicine Immortal Valley was about three days’ journey from the scorching sun sect. On the way, the master and disciple had an in-depth exchange of medicinal knowledge with the Foundation Building Elixir as the core.

Originally, Cheng Xu had only wanted to accompany his master to relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, as they were discussing, the vast amount of alchemy knowledge in his mind began to operate on its own.

Ding! Ding!

[Integrating and optimizing the refining data…]

Three days later, when the master and disciple finished their discussion…

[Data integration and optimization completed. Refining ability increased.]

He looked at the [Medicine Refining] ability. Although it was still at the advanced level, there were some changes.

[Refining Ability: Advanced (63%)]

If nothing unexpected happened, as long as he increased the remaining percentage to 100%, he would successfully break through to the next level.

In other words, he finally saw the experience bar. As for the method to increase the experience bar, it was obviously to optimize and integrate the vast amount of alchemy knowledge in his mind.

It seemed that he would have to communicate more with his master in the future. In fact, it wasn’t just him, but Chi Yao Zhenren had also opened up a lot of medicinal theory ideas in the discussion between the two.

“There! The Scorching Sun mountain range is just ahead,” Chi Yao Zhenren pointed at a Scarlet mountain range in front of them.
