Cultivate All You Want, Just Don't Ruin the Immortal World!

Chapter 26 – Purchase Elixir

"Is it really resolved just like that?"

After the elders left, Li Zhengtong felt a sense of disbelief.

To him, it was simply too surreal.

He had just encountered a problem, and three big shots descended from the sky, solving it effortlessly. In the end, he even received fifty contribution points.

Li Zhengtong wouldn't have dared to dream of such a thing!

Qin Yu patted Li Zhengtong on the shoulder, "You'll get used to this happening often, so it's better to adapt early."

"Let's go, distribute the contribution points to Xiao Zhi and the others!"

Qin Yu had no intention of splitting the contribution points with Li Zhengtong, nor did he take advantage of the situation to report two extra people.

Because Qin Yu understood that the sect's big shots were the ones giving them benefits.

And the one thing big shots hate the most is deceit. Although the chances of this reaching the Sixth Elder's ears were almost zero, there was no need to take such a big risk for a few contribution points.

Before leaving, Qin Yu smiled and said to Kong Tianjiao, "Little Kong, do your best!"

Kong Tianjiao glared at Qin Yu with anger, "You're just a mere servant disciple, lucky for now, but in six months, you'll be done for."

"Ha ha ha... Let's see if you can last these six months!"

Six months may not seem long, but in this cultivation world without TV or phones, staying in a cave abode for cultivation practice is extremely tedious.

Before leaving, Qin Yu reminded, "We've given our six contribution points, but there are still many servant disciples along the way, don't forget to give them too!"

"Otherwise, the Sixth Elder will be angry."

Kong Tianjiao was so furious that he snapped the shovel in his hand in two, gritting his teeth, "I don't need your reminder!"

"Hahaha, thanks for the 50 contribution points, boss!"

Qin Yu and Li Zhengtong laughed heartily as they left, leaving behind the disciples of Beast-Taming Peak to clean up the dung heap.

After distributing the contribution points to Xiao Zhi and the others, Qin Yu and Li Zhengtong headed straight to the marketplace.

Now that they had money, they had to spend it lavishly.

"Yu Ge, what do you plan to buy?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment, "I plan to go into seclusion for a few days, so I'll buy some elixirs to aid my cultivation practice!"

"Then I'll buy some elixirs to catch up on my progress. I've been too busy these days, and my cultivation level has fallen behind others."

"By the way, Yu Ge, are you close to reaching Qi Refinement Stage One?"

Qin Yu boasted, "After this seclusion, I, Qin, will be a Qi Refinement Stage Two cultivator."

Li Zhengtong: "Wow, Yu Ge, how are you so fast?"

...

The two arrived at the marketplace and randomly picked a shop selling elixirs.

"Do you have any elixirs that aid in cultivation practice?" Qin Yu asked as he entered.

"Yes!" The shop clerk took out several elixirs, "These are Qi Refinement Pills, suitable for Qi Refinement stage cultivators, twelve contribution points each!"

"This is the Qi Boost Pill, suitable for both Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, fifteen contribution points each!"

"This is Vitality Powder, suitable for Qi Refinement stage cultivators, eight contribution points per pack!"

The shop clerk introduced four or five types, and Qin Yu's only impression was that they were expensive. These fifty contribution points wouldn't last long.

He remembered that the elixirs sold at street stalls weren't this pricey!

Qin Yu: "Don't you have any elixirs suitable for Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators?"

Shop clerk: "......"

Qin Yu: "If not, never mind. If you don't even have elixirs for Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators, what's the point of this shop!"

With that, Qin Yu left the shop with Li Zhengtong.

"The elixirs in this shop are really expensive. Let's buy from a street stall instead!"

Li Zhengtong worriedly said, "Yu Ge, won't the quality at street stalls be unreliable?"

"Nonsense!" Qin Yu scolded, "Street stalls don't mind that you're poor, and you have the nerve to complain about their quality?"

Soon, Qin Yu found a cultivator selling elixirs.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same senior brother from before.

"Senior brother, I'd like to buy some elixirs to aid in cultivation practice."

"Sure!" The senior brother said enthusiastically, "Judging by your aura, you should be in the Qi Refinement stage. Qi Refinement Pills and Vitality Powder are more suitable for you."

"Qi Refinement Pills, eight contribution points each; Vitality Powder, five contribution points per pack."

'As expected, much cheaper than in the shop.'

"The effect of Qi Refinement Pills is much better than Vitality Powder. If you have enough contribution points, I recommend choosing Qi Refinement Pills!"

"Then give me three Qi Refinement Pills first!"

Qin Yu planned to test their effect first. If they weren't satisfactory, he might as well use the remaining contribution points to eat something good at the dining hall.

"I'll take three as well!"

"Sure!" The senior brother grinned widely, these were big customers!

The senior brother quickly packed the elixirs into two small porcelain bottles and handed them to Qin Yu and Li Zhengtong.

"Senior brother, do alchemists make a lot of money?" Li Zhengtong asked.

"Not really!" The senior brother sighed, sitting on a stool, "Those with a high pill formation rate do make money, but alchemists like me, without much talent, don't earn enough to buy materials."

"But alchemy is my hobby. Even if I pour all my monthly sect allowance into it, I still find it worthwhile."

Qin Yu checked this senior brother's talent.

Qin Yu only saw one pop-up.

'Can you really practice alchemy without talent?'

Qin Yu realized he had been mistaken before.

As long as one masters the necessary knowledge of alchemy, any cultivator can practice it. Those with alchemy talent just get started faster and have a higher pill formation rate.

Those without alchemy talent must put in more effort and money to get started, but with enough hard work, they can still become alchemists.

However, talent determines the ceiling. Without alchemy talent, no matter how hard you try, you can't produce high-grade elixirs.

On the way back, Qin Yu asked Li Zhengtong.

"Do you want to become an alchemist?"

Li Zhengtong nodded and explained, "I have an elder who's an alchemist. He told me that being an alchemist is very lucrative and highly respected."

"For example, the Qi Refinement Pills we bought, the raw materials cost at most 1 contribution point per set, but once refined into elixirs, they're worth 8 contribution points or more."

"As long as one out of eight sets of raw materials is successfully refined, you can make a profit!"

Qin Yu nodded, "I think you have a point, but being an alchemist requires talent. I think studying formation techniques might suit you better."

Back at the cave abode, Qin Yu activated the formation technique and prepared for seclusion.

"I wonder how effective these elixirs are?"

Qin Yu glanced at the progress bar, currently at six percent.

"Let's see how much progress one elixir can help me make!"

Qin Yu swallowed a Qi Refinement Pill.

Soon, he felt his whole body heat up, and all his meridians began to boil.
