Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate - Chapter 2243
Chapter 2243: Chapter 1146: Fourth Order Alchemist (2)
All the younger generation of the Lin Family understands this point very well.
It is precisely because of this that every member of the Lin Family sincerely admires and respects him, including Lin Tianming.
Therefore, when he learned that Lin Shilu was closing himself off, Lin Tianming didn’t say much.
At this moment, he had not entered a closed-door cultivation state because, according to the tasks the family assigned to him, he needed to act as a protector for Lin Tianyun.
However, since Lin Tianyun had just begun his closed-door cultivation, the Lin Family was not overly anxious yet.
But if we fast forward three years from now, based on the normal timeline, Lin Tianyun will have entered the most critical phase.
During this period, Lin Tianming wouldn’t dare be too negligent.
Right now, Lin Tianming could take advantage of the fact that Lin Tianyun hadn’t reached the crucial stage to concurrently act as a protector while studying the Fourth Order pill formulas.
Additionally, if conditions permitted, he could also attempt to refine them.
If he could successfully refine them, that would be great.
If he couldn’t refine them, at least he could shorten the time it took him to become a Fourth Order Alchemist.
With this thought, after Lin Tianyun went into the depths of the back mountain, Lin Tianming also found a secluded spot outside the valley.
Immediately, Lin Tianming began looking through a large number of alchemy experiences, immersing himself in understanding them.
These alchemy experiences were specifically obtained by Lin Tianming from the family’s Scripture Pavilion, each being the work left behind by a Fourth Order Alchemist, forming the foundational heritage that the Lin Family had managed to acquire from various sources.
Before this, although he had briefly probed into some, due to the significant gap in real skill levels, he could not comprehend much useful information.
However, now, as his cultivation successfully breaks through, with a more powerful Divine Sense and concentration, he revisits these precious Fourth Order alchemy experiences, hoping to gain different insights.
With this expectation, Lin Tianming began a meticulous study.
Time flowed by day by day, and before he knew it, half a year had passed.
During this half-year period, Lin Tianming was entirely absorbed in comprehending those Fourth Order alchemy experiences.
Through this period of hard work, Lin Tianming indeed gained substantial insights from these experiences.
His current understanding and perspective of alchemy have clearly surpassed what they were before.
Beyond that, he now possessed some capability to refine Fourth Order elixirs.
The next step is to find a suitable pill formula, thoroughly understand it, and then seek materials to attempt refining it.
Regarding the refining process, based on past experiences, it could take as short as ten days to half a month, or as long as one or two years—it’s unpredictable.
In this regard, Lin Tianming was somewhat confident but also filled with anticipation.
In the days that followed, Lin Tianming first studied the foundational elixir he had documented a long time ago, named the True Spirit Pill.
The True Spirit Pill is currently the most commonly found among the Fourth Order elixirs, and it’s the preferred choice for many Nascent Soul Stage experts to aid their cultivation.
Of course, even though the True Spirit Pill is ordinary among Fourth Order elixirs, it is still a Fourth Order elixir.
If consumed by a Golden Core Stage cultivator or ingested by a Third Order Late Stage demonic beast, without a strong body, there’s a high chance the immense power within the True Spirit Pill would result in their violent death.
Thus, while the True Spirit Pill merely serves as an introductory foundational Fourth Order elixir, it represents a terrifying existence that Golden Core Stage cultivators or even Third Order demonic beasts are wary of tampering with lightly.
Currently, throughout the Qingzhou Cultivation World, a single True Spirit Pill remains a priceless treasure, rarely available even with money.
Even strong forces like the Yulan Sect, with their formidable foundational heritage, might struggle to keep several True Spirit Pills in stock.
That is to say, top-tier experts like Zhou Tianlong cannot perpetually rely on True Spirit Pills to assist their cultivation.
This essentially illustrates the scarcity of True Spirit Pills in Qingzhou.
And this scarcity extends beyond just the Qingzhou land.
Even in the central Three Provinces of the Nine Provinces Continent, most Nascent Soul forces do not have enough True Spirit Pills to supply the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of their sects or families.
Thus, the value of the True Spirit Pill lies there.
Considering the current Lin Family or the future Lin Family, they will undoubtedly face the problem of insufficient True Spirit Pills sooner or later.
However, there is no solution, as the present Cultivation World is relatively impoverished, with Fourth Order Spiritual Medicine Materials being exceedingly scarce.
Particularly those Fourth Order spiritual medicines that can help cultivators accelerate their cultivation, or spirit materials that can be refined into elixirs, are even rarer.
Under such conditions, no Nascent Soul force can achieve self-sufficiency.
If there’s any force that can, it would undoubtedly be those colossal entities with tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years of legacy, each standing as a monumental presence.
While Lin Tianming hasn’t confirmed this through firsthand experience, the various information circulating within the Cultivation World sufficiently reveals these issues.
To Lin Tianming, choosing the True Spirit Pill as a practice elixir to start with was a choice made out of necessity.
After all, among all Fourth Order elixirs, the True Spirit Pill may not have the lowest cost, but it is undeniably one of the most applicable elixirs.
The reason is simple: whether it is produced for trade or for use by family members, it is a cherished commodity that no one can discard easily.
