Chapter 112: Buying Things from the Market

It seemed that he would have to go to the market.

Although he was short on money, he still had a few crystals in his pocket. Moreover, with his current cultivation, going out to do missions would also bring him a considerable amount of wealth. He only had five days off. By the time these five days were over, it would be too late to earn money.

He had slowly figured out the technique of disguising himself and sneaking around. It could even be said that he was very skilled at it.

The effects of his cultivation over the past few days were extremely good. When Li Ming walked, it was as if he was flying. He was no longer like he was before. He changed his appearance and assumed the look of an ordinary man.

He knew the market like the back of his hand. Although the quality of the spiritual herbs here was not the best, it was still passable. Anyway, the pills he was going to refine were not that high-grade.

He dealt with his matters very quickly and felt much more relaxed. He walked around the area and had a look at what was for sale.

As he was walking, he saw someone selling yin lightning beads.

It was not only Yun Xia who knew how to refine yin lightning beads.

While the method for refining yin lightning beads in large quantities had long been lost, that did not mean that it was difficult to condense them. Moreover, there was more than one way to condense them.

Three thousand years ago, there was once a famous sect that specialized in condensing and refining all kinds of treasures.

Apart from that, they also obtained some other treasures. However, the Nine Heavens Yin Fiend Formation was still the most famous in the Devilish Yin Sect.

The Nine Heavens Yin Fiend Formation was made up of 3,600 yin objects of different colors. When all those components were properly set up to create a formation, it would create a terrifying killing formation. It was an incredibly fearsome formation that could even kill nascent soul cultivators.

Other than yin pearls, the Yin Fiend Sect also sold many other refined treasures. Similarly, killing treasures such as the yin lightning pearl were also gradually spread.

Because it was extremely powerful and easy to refine, many cultivators would bring some with them whenever they moved around.

There were many kinds of medicinal herbs in the market, most of which were low-grade medicinal herbs. However, many of them happened to be the materials for refining medicinal pills through the Water Refinement Technique.

Li Ming was very satisfied with the good quality and cheap price. Even if these herbs were lost, it would not cause him too much heartache.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Ming still chose to buy the herbs separately in many different places to avoid attracting the attention of others.

This was his habit of being cautious. Even if he had already entered the golden core realm, he had not left behind this habit of his.

After he finished buying what he needed from the market, Li Ming returned to the sect.

By the time he woke up from his meditation, it was already late at night. He used inner sight to take a look at his sea of consciousness again, and he saw that not much had changed. However, it did get slightly stronger.

Li Ming thought to himself. It seemed that he had to continue training well.

He pulled himself out from his sea of consciousness and sorted out the various spiritual herbs he had bought in the market earlier.

Li Ming’s expression turned serious as he prepared to refine the spiritual herbs using the Water Refinement Technique.

It had to be noted that the Water Refinement Technique not only consumed a lot of spiritual herbs, but also a lot of spiritual energy.

Li Ming smiled bitterly.

It seemed that earning spirit stones was the most important thing for him!

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, he began to refine the materials according to the instructions in the jade slip.

The Water Refinement Technique and the Fire Refinement Technique were completely different from one another.

Fortunately, he already had some foundation in pill refinement. Moreover, the crazy amounts of refining he had done recently had allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience.

The words on the jade slip of the Water Refinement Technique were simple and clear. There was no pretentiousness to it at all, so he could easily understand it.

This was also why every time he flipped through that jade slip, he would always feel comfortable and unknowingly immerse himself in it. On the other hand, flipping through the Soul-Refining Art would always make him feel like he was dying.

Regarding the general process of the Water Refinement Technique, Li Ming had repeatedly pondered over it countless times. Although he could not be said to know it like the back of his hand, he was at least somewhat familiar with it.

The most unique aspect of the Water Refinement Technique was that one had to form a pill embryo at the first possible moment. The spirit pill was then born from the pill embryo. It was extremely magical.

Using magical arts and spiritual energy as veins, using various materials and herbs as flesh and blood, condensing the pill was then the most important step.

Each part was not only related to the success rate of refining the medicinal pill, but also related to the quality of the medicinal pill that ended up being refined.

This was also the main reason why the Water Refinement Technique was not as popular as the Fire Refinement Technique. It was much more difficult to master all its rules.

This was definitely a new test for Li Ming. Fortunately, his current realm was much higher than the average pill refiner.

The records on the jade slip were also very detailed. He patiently studied the more important parts.

Moreover, Li Ming had an advantage that others did not have, and that was his powerful divine sense. Even his fellow disciples could not compare to him.

The use of spiritual sense had a crucial impact on refinement.

He packed up the spiritual herbs and went to the spirit spring in the stone room.

The spiritual spring was extremely cold, and it was close to a spirit vein. After countless years of accumulation, the spiritual qi in it was extremely dense.

Li Ming also checked the few spiritual herbs planted inside and found that they were growing well. Only then did he feel relieved.

With a thought, Li Ming’s palm suddenly turned into a snowflake.

Strange symbols shot out from his hand toward the spring water. After those runes that were emitting a faint light entered the spiritual spring, they seemed to be attracted by something and slowly approached the other party.

Li Ming’s eyes widened and his gaze did not shift. His hands did not slow down at all.

As Li Ming’s fingers moved about, the runes that emitted a faint light began to move slowly. They were like a puzzle, joining together bit by bit.

After changing his hand sign so many times, Li Ming’s ten fingers were already numb. However, he could only endure. A single mistake would cause all his previous efforts to go down the drain.

As the last glowing rune was placed into it, a stable “frame” finally took shape. A faint blue light emitted from the rune and flowed continuously!

Without any hesitation, he did not even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead and began to pour in the various materials that he had already prepared.

After a while, a light green ball-shaped pill embryo quietly floated in the spring water.

Li Ming was pleasantly surprised!

Success!

He had already roughly grasped the Water Refinement Technique. Although it was only a little superficial, he had actually entered a new realm in pill refinement.

This was a qualitative leap for Li Ming.

Although the Water Refinement Technique consumed a lot of energy, some of the pills refined through it were quite valuable and sold at a high price on the market.

Therefore, Li Ming’s plan to earn spirit stones through alchemy had basically been half-realized.

What he needed to do now was to balance the time spent on earning spirit stones and cultivating..
