Chapter 515: Chapter 515

Demon beasts who don’t want to ascend to the Celestial Realm and become Divine Beasts are all fools!

Any demon beast with brains and intelligence, who wouldn’t want to undergo rebirth and reach the heavens in one step?

Becoming a Divine Beast isn’t just about having a stronger and more imposing bloodline; it’s about becoming like an Immortal, being worshipped and having divine authority, and enjoying endless lifespan!

Lingdi dreams of it, but can only dream.

After all, even if the old master was an Elder in one of the top ten ancient Sects, what of it?

I have resources and opportunities, yet after all these years, the old master has perished and hasn’t even touched the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Let alone becoming a Divine Beast.

The new owner’s pet white snake longs to transform into a dragon. He’s actually gone to find the Power of Flood Dragon Bloodline for it to lay a solid foundation. It’s presumed he wants the white snake to transform into a flood dragon first, then a dragon.

Of course, dragons have classes. Only by evolving step by step into a Divine Dragon can one be called a true Divine Beast.

"You dumbhead, quickly think of something to gain rewards and show your worth for your owner’s nurturing!" Lingdi was so anxious it scratched its ears, with no mood to cultivate, focusing entirely on finding an opportunity to display loyalty.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan watched, feeling comforted by the unwavering loyalty of the Clear Wind Bright Moon Sword beside him.

"When time allows, I might consider taking the courtyard members to the Mysterious Cave for group bonding. There’s strength in numbers," he mused while battling monsters.

Suddenly, the health bar flickers brightly!

"This evil spirit is so strange!" As the Clear Wind Sword just sensed the chilly winds, another wandering lantern ghost quietly appeared with 0-frame starting move.

Even though it floated right by its master, there was no time to block the damage.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was quite pleased, raising his hand to unleash the Heaven-Burning Flame, "Don’t let the evil spirit escape!"

The Candle Spirit is such a useful tool, so many workshops are waiting for it to enhance speed. Taking this damage is nothing, as the health bar auto-regenerates daily, losing 200 health is insignificant.

The Bright Moon Sword Spirit watched as its master took a solid hit yet was unscathed, not even slightly shaken, growing more curious about his power.

Unfortunately, the master doesn’t use a sword, and there was no sense of connection between them. Otherwise, following such a master to slay demons and monsters would not waste a top-class Spirit Sword that developed intelligence.

It wasn’t until the system announced the arrival of the Wilderness that Jiang Yuan sheathed the Mandarin Duck Swords and teleported to the first-level cave’s exchange shop.

As he recalled, there was a side quest with no continuation, called the Genius Refiner. His neighbor Hou Ze, from Golden Carp Lake Market, had a good friend, Leng Yutang, who suffered from cold poison.

While doing the quest, he specially crafted a simple version of the Nine-Flavor Red Flame Pill to temporarily ease the cold poison.

After that, nothing followed, and he’s unsure about the status of the genius refiner Leng Yutang’s cold poison. Jiang Yuan remembered that Hou Ze asked him to keep an eye out for Pill Formulas.

It just so happened that when he inherited Pill Formulas from Senior Lin at the Black Tortoise Pavilion, he noticed — Star Flame Antitoxic Pill: an elixir merged with the Power of Star Flame to detoxify cold poison.

Not temporarily ease, but detoxify!

While at Spiders Valley, he encountered a medicinally suitable Lava Ash, exactly one of the main ingredients needed for the Star Flame Antitoxic Pill.

The other main ingredient is also now available in the exchange shop — Star-like Grass: 10,000 points exchange, a rare medicinal material used for crafting elixirs!

With points to spare, exchanging for the elixir, let’s see if it can trigger the side quest.

Jiang Yuan also plans to transform Yun Shu into a Void Shipgirl in the future, definitely requiring the help of an Artifact Refiner.

Since side quests are currently stagnant, proactively seizing the opportunity might make it work!

Retreating ten thousand steps, even if the side quest can’t be triggered and the system rewards can’t be leveraged, using one elixir to detoxify the genius refiner’s cold poison is still saving a life and doing good. No downside.

[Would you like to spend 10,000 points to exchange for a Star-like Grass?]

[Exchange successful! Current remaining points: 53,500]

"For the others... let’s hold off for now, see what treasures are refreshed tomorrow!" Jiang Yuan thought, feeling quite satisfied.

With the Mysterious Cave, there’s no need to run all over to chop trees, collect or mine. Just grind monsters for points, and you can exchange for anything in the shop!

In urgent times, if the exchange shop doesn’t refresh, going mining or cutting trees occasionally isn’t difficult. It used to be the way to gather materials all around.

Leaving the Mysterious Cave, Jiang Yuan quickly proceeded to the Alchemy Room to retrieve the crafted Jade Marrow Pill, adding ingredients to refine the fifth-grade Star Flame Antitoxic Pill.

[Jade Marrow Pill +99]

An ordinary string of data drifted by, Jiang Yuan finally realized the absolute advantage of system-assisted alchemy!

It’s not about a 100% success rate; more importantly, the system Alchemy Room uses minimal materials!

Last night in Ruiyun Palace, after hearing Miss Seven’s tale, he learned that a professional alchemist would need a complete set of Spirit Medicines to produce just one pill upon successful refining.

That’s why Sang Lishan frowned when seeing only three pieces of Earth Crystal Jade Marrow, because based on the cultivation world’s alchemist setup, one refinement would consume one piece of Earth Crystal Jade Marrow + twenty-three auxiliary ingredients.

Plus, no 100% success rate for the alchemist. From their perspective, a fifth-grade alchemist refining fifth-grade pills with a one-third success rate was still a bit too high.

However, no matter what Sang Lishan and his sister imagined, Jiang Yuan, with the system’s assistance, didn’t need to consider success rates. And one set of Spirit Medicine could refine 99 pills!

"Isn’t this just a pure profit?" Jiang Yuan looked at the large bottle of pills in his Storage Bag, deciding to give three pills to the other party.

Firstly, having received many Spirit Stones, giving less felt a bit guilty, but he couldn’t expose the wonders of the Alchemy Room, so he gave it generously;

Secondly, taking three pieces of Earth Spirit Jade Marrow, it’s expected to refine three Jade Marrow Pills as a 100% success rate, lending more credibility.

Thirdly, with two more pieces of Earth Crystal Jade Marrow in storage, if needed, nearly two hundred pills could be refined. What’s a few? The source of thɪs content is NoveI(F)ire.net

Lastly and most importantly, for Sang Lishan’s chronic injury, the Jade Marrow Pill can only temporarily numb, not heal. It’s like an anesthetic for a patient, good to have two extra for emergencies.

After dinner, the courtyard members set off again for a collective demon beast hunt, with Jiang Yuan instructing Lingdi to guard the house, arriving directly at Crescent Lake via the Ancient Teleportation Array.

Sang Qi mentioned that during the day, when the Wilderness ascends, Spiritual Energy is abundant, attracting more ferocious demon beasts, leading to their activity;

At night, when the Wilderness descends and Spiritual Energy plummets, only low-level small demon beasts appear, so Sang Qi and the others don’t disturb humans or small demon beasts, staying in their dome with a Spirit Gathering Array, cultivating or resting.

To avoid the descent of the Wilderness crushing living beings, when it happens, the entire Ruiyun Palace will enter Invisibility Mode, using arrays to ensure any living beings in the overlapping Human World are unaffected.

Jiang Yuan pondered while in Sword Flight, imagining it’s akin to the effect of a protective barrier on houses and villages, with both sides coexisting in a miraculous way where they blend yet do not interfere with each other.

Indeed, following the map to Ruiyun Palace’s vicinity, all he could see were plains interspersed with mountains. Where was the shadow of a grand palace to be found?

Jiang Yuan took out the Ruiyun Palace waist token given by Sang Qi, calibrating its energy and the large majestic array entrance instantly appeared before him.

"Who visits Ruiyun Palace?"
