Chapter 74: Division of Medicinal Pills

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Medicinal pills were also divided into different grades!

They were divided into the first to ninth grades, and the third, sixth, and ninth were particularly special grades.

To put it simply, the first to third grades of medicinal pills were the lowest tier of grades.

The fourth to sixth grades of medicinal pills were considered to be in the middle, while the seventh to ninth grades were the top-tier medicinal pills!

All medicinal pills were distinguished in this manner, but it was not that easy to distinguish what the exact grade of a specific medicinal pill was to the untrained eye.

The grades that these pills came out to be mainly depended on the person who refined them.

However, this field experienced an especially fundamental problem.

That problem was that it was only cultivators who had at least reached the foundation establishment realm that were able to refine medicinal pills.

Naturally, refining artifacts and medicinal pills was something that required a lot of time and effort to do.

Therefore, most foundation establishment cultivators were not that willing to spend their valuable time and effort doing such things.

That was also why there were specific cultivators who specialized in refining artifacts and pills.

Because of the demand, different occupations emerged and evolved to adapt to the cultivation world.

In the Divine Will Sect, the highest grade of pills that could be refined was the third grade.

Li Ming believed that a third-grade pill should be enough to meet his needs.

After all, Li Ming did not want to waste too much energy on this matter.

It was more important and more efficient for him to use his time on increasing his cultivation.

However, while Li Ming was deep in thought, the black stone began speaking.

Every time Li Ming was deep in thought, the black stone was the first to detect it.

Li Ming felt as if the black stone had some sort of telepathic ability.

“Brat, your physical body cannot be transformed by an ordinary marrow cleansing pill.'

“Ordinary alchemists have too weak a foundation establishment true fire, so the effect of the pills that they refine will be far from good enough to reform your body.”

“If you refine the pill yourself using your golden crow true fire, the effects of the pill you refine will naturally be much better.”

“Your golden core true fire is different from the foundation establishment true fire of other cultivators. It would be a great boon to any pill refiner.” “Besides, you do not have to worry that this will hinder your cultivation.”

“Alchemy or pill refining is also a form of cultivation. It can train your control over spiritual qi and at the same time, it can also temper your character. It will be of great help to your future cultivation.”

“In addition, when you do refine pills, it significantly helps increase the spiritual qi in your body.”

The black stone provided Li Ming with some really helpful advice.

Hearing this, Li Ming was stunned.

There were actually so many benefits to refining pills?

Li Ming naturally understood the principle of polishing one's character.

It was just that he felt that he was already a person who had a decent character. After all, he really only wanted to cultivate in peace.

It was precisely because of this thought that he had never been able to perfect the Imperial Finger.

However, there was simply no downplaying the value of increasing his spiritual qi.

Anyway, as the saying went, having more skills will not weigh you down.

Perhaps he could even obtain a useful entry through this endeavor.

This was what he was truly interested in.

Although the origin of the black stone was still a complete mystery to him, it was incredibly helpful when it came to important matters, and Li Ming did not really have a good reason to ignore its suggestions or advice.

And so, Li Ming began collecting the ingredients for the marrow cleansing pill!

The market was obviously Li Ming's first choice for this matter.

Now that he had an identity token, it was much more convenient for Li Ming to leave the mountain.

Li Ming was a lot more familiar with the market now and was able to directly make his way to a shop with rare herbs.

The ingredients required to refine the marrow cleansing pill were quite rare. They were the supreme immortal grass, jade ganoderma, earth core berries, and the inner core of a demon beast with a foundation establishment cultivation.

These materials were rather expensive.

Li Ming had to ask around extensively in the shop before he managed to find supreme immortal grass and earth core berries.

As for the remaining jade ganoderma and demonic beast inner core, he would have to ask the sect about them.

Just the supreme immortal grass and the earth core berries alone had already

emptied Li Ming's stash of spirit stones!

He had initially received 20,000 spirit stones and exchanged his merit points for 50,000 more spirit stones from the sect.

But now, he had spent all 70,000 already!

Although his heart ached, Li Ming could only grit his teeth and endure it for the sake of the marrow cleansing pill.

He had originally thought that the sect with the sect rewarding him handsomely for completing missions and passing the assessment, he would have quite a lot of money to splurge.

In order to prevent the black stone from hogging too many spirit stones, he did not even let it touch them in advance.

But now that he started gathering materials for pill refining, his pockets were already empty before he could even hold his money for that long.

This left Li Ming feeling really helpless.

Even with his cultivation, he was actually so poor in terms of resources.

He felt that this was really embarrassing.

After walking out of the market, Li Ming carefully began calculating.

In the end, the sect provided him with the rest of the materials he needed, and he no longer needed to worry about his body and qi cultivation for the near future.

The rest would be up to time.

As long as he managed to refine the marrow cleansing pill and made another breakthrough in his physical body, Li Ming was confident that he would easily reach the late stage of the foundation establishment realm!

In terms of medicinal herbs, the sect should be quite supportive in this regard!

No matter what, Li Ming was a core disciple of the sect, and he cultivated both his body and qi.

Even though the consecrators treated him differently, the sect still provided him with the pill refining materials he needed.

At the same time, they also provided him with a furnace that specialized in refining pills.

In the Martial Hall.

With the medicinal ingredients ready, Li Ming directly checked the pill refinement method that the black stone had given him.

This pill refining technique described how to extract, refine, and fuse each type of herb.

Additionally, it clearly stated the required heat, timing, and so on.

Secondly, the technique also mentioned how to fuse and refine the essence of these medicinal herbs together.

Many things needed to be kept in mind while refining pills.

There were many ways to use the herbs and showcase their effects.

The Plant Encyclopedia clearly presented all the advantages and disadvantages of countless different plants and herbs.

Fortunately, Li Ming had the help of his entries. He had a photographic memory and various vocabulary entries that increased his comprehension.

All of these added together allowed Li Ming's learning ability to reach an unparalleled level.

In the end, Li Ming only needed to spend two hours to completely master the process.

Next, it was time for him to actually refine some medicinal pills.

With the experience from refining a natal magical treasure previously and the help of the entries, his control during refinement was a lot more precise now.

The golden crow true fire was injected into the cauldron, and the temperature immediately rose.

As the temperature of the fire stabilized, he placed the medicinal herbs into the furnace to be refined and extracted.

Of course, he did everything with great care and precision.

Li Ming did not start refining the marrow cleansing pill immediately.

After all, the medicinal ingredients for the marrow cleansing pill were very difficult to obtain.

There was only one set of materials, so he did not want to waste them. Therefore, Li Ming picked out a lot of resources from the sect and used them to refine ordinary recovery pills.

This kind of pill was simple, and refining them was not complicated either.

They were the perfect way for Li Ming to practice pill refining.

Moreover, Li Ming had an idea.

Recovery pills were basic pills, and cultivators would carry them with them.

Refining more would not cause any losses.

Moreover, if he could obtain an entry from refining these pills numerous times, then that would significantly benefit him when the time actually came for him to refine the marrow cleansing pill!

At the same time, his success rate would also increase.

Although he could not be 100% sure that he would be able to obtain an entry, accumulating experience was a foolproof choice!

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
