Chapter 113: Earning Spirit Stones
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the pill refinement room.
Li Ming sat cross-legged and focused on controlling the stalagmite fire. He saw a drop of transparent liquid wriggling in the white flame. He stood to the side, holding his breath. His gaze focused on this milky white flame.
Suddenly, the stalagmite fire disappeared, and a crystal clear liquid quietly floated in front of Li Ming. A strange fragrance immediately filled the air.
Li Ming skillfully used a special method to capture the liquid into a bottle that had been prepared beforehand before quickly capping the bottle.
“50 spirit stones, one bottle of Clear Snow Pills,” said Li Ming lightly. “Senior, can you give me a discount? I’ve already come here a few times!” “No discounts,” said Li Ming expressionlessly.
The man was speechless and reluctantly took out fifty spirit stones.
Li Ming did not even look at the spirit stones, immediately putting them into his storage pouch before closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged. He began to regulate his breathing. Then after a while, he said, “Next.”
The doorman quickly let another person in. From the moment Li Ming took charge of this pill refinement room, he was shocked by the amount of business that came.
The customer had somehow gotten a ball of strange white flame that was bone-chilling and asked Li Ming to refine an Ice Cold Pill.
Recently, he had taken on all kinds of jobs, such as refining medicinal herbs, pills, and so on. He had never even heard of some of the jobs, but Li Ming took on as many as he could.
This was all the result of what Li Ming had recently learned from the jade slips. With the lack of spirit stones on hand, Li Ming had no choice but to refine pills in the pill refinement room to earn spirit stones.
Most of what Li Ming did were intermediate steps, such as the purification and refinement of medicinal herbs.
In comparison, refining pills consumed too much energy, and the efficiency was much lower.
Therefore, Li Ming tried his best not to take on pill refinement jobs.
With Li Ming’s absurd spiritual energy recovery speed, people could only watch in bafflement at how quickly he took on jobs.
He was practically a pill refinement tool that never tired.
Manager Li Fengying was utterly dumbfounded.
Although she was not a pill refiner, she had a wide range of knowledge. Was Li Ming really that amazing?!
Compared to the speed at which he recovered spiritual energy, his control over flames did not surprise her at all!
Li Ming had never failed. Regarding this, although Li Ying Feng was surprised, she did not think of it as anything too strange. Li Ming was a genius in pill refinement, so it was no surprise that he was proficient in controlling flames.
It was exactly this astonishing success rate that made him famous very quickly. Everyone knew that he had great control over flames, and he also had a rare snow-white ice flame. Although this ball of white ice flame was not of a high grade, its power was great.
Ice flames were difficult to come by, and it was even more difficult to find someone who possessed it. Most of those who possessed ice flames were skilled in pill refinement and weapon refinement. Who would want to make a semi-finished product? Now, with a cultivator like Li Ming, who was willing to work to create semi-finished products, he naturally immediately attracted a large number of customers.
Li Ming was refining medicine when a customer walked in under the guidance of the doorman.
He stopped.
Li Ming did not even look at the other party and asked directly, “What do you want?”
“A fourth-grade True Origin Pill.”
Li Ming’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the order. He looked up at him and shook his head. “I am unable to refine fourth-grade pills. You should go find someone else.’
The stalagmite fire was only a second-grade fire source. If it was not for the fact that his supreme sense was strong enough and his control over fire was good enough, a third-grade fire source was still the highest level that he could handle at the moment. As such, it was pretty much impossible for him to refine a fourth-grade True Origin Pill with his current capabilities.
The man thought for a moment, “Can you handle a third-grade Cold Magnet?”
“I can try.”
The man took out a black stone mixed with a few green ice crystals and handed it to Li Ming.
“200 spirit stones.”
“Alright.” The person on the other end agreed in a very straightforward manner.
A rich guy! Li Ming quickly took the third-grade cold magnet in his hand.
He was also forced by his need for spirit stones to make money by refining pills.
Li Ming spent a lot of effort to find ways to earn spirit stones.
Cultivating spiritual herbs was a good way to make money, but it also took a lot of time. What made him even more depressed was that even if he used all kinds of spirit plant techniques, it would still take more than five months to complete!
He simply decided to rent out the over 10,000 square meters of spiritual fields he had been rewarded by the sect, earning him hundreds of spirit stones a year. This could also be considered as a subsidy for his cultivation.
He had rejected the idea of cultivating plants early on without hesitation. In five months, he could earn tens of thousands of spirit stones by refining pills!
The stalagmite fire was a rare ice flame after all, and it was extremely suitable to refine those extremely cold and yin objects.
There were very few cultivators who could use fire sources, and those who could use ice flames were even rarer. And one of the few who were willing to create semi-finished products was Li Ming.
Originally, this kind of business did not have a high profit. As the end result was merely semi-finished products, only some processing fees could be charged. However, with his demonic core, Li Ming’s control over flames had improved by leaps and bounds.
The stalagmite fire seemed to have a life of its own in his hands, and the speed at which he refined things was extremely fast. At the same time, with his demonic pattern, his spiritual energy recovery speed was extremely fast. With a bit of breathing, his spiritual energy would be replenished.
Because he could not store enough spiritual energy, his cultivation did not increase much.
For this reason, he had tried his best. The effect of the demonic pattern could only be said to be passable.
He quickly realized that he had a near-perfect combination with his demonic core, coupled with the stalagmite fire and the demonic pattern!
In the beginning, the business could only be said to be good, but later on, business was booming.
The fees Li Ming collected were considerable. In the beginning, he only got dozens of spirit stones. But when he received better goods and orders, it directly increased to hundreds.
His ask of 200 spirit stones was already the highest ask he had given recently, but he never expected that the other party would agree without a second word.
If he were to refine something like this regularly, he would be able to earn more than 200 spirit stones a day. At this rate, it would not be long before he could earn a few thousand spirit stones. However, one has to grasp the time well when doing such a business.
If not for the upcoming conference, it would be amazing if he could even receive thirty to forty spirit stones from the local cultivators.
But even so, he still obtained huge benefits.
He realized that it would be even better if he could use the Three-Revolutions Fire Formation. At that time, he could even use the formation to fuse fourth-grade spiritual herbs. However, he rarely accepted fourth-grade materials.
Most importantly, the danger involved was too great. If it was damaged, it would be a huge loss.
Fourth-grade medicinal herbs were so expensive that it made his scalp tingle..
