Chapter 51: Chapter 50: Reviewing the Gains, The Dawn of a Faction

Pill Peak, disciple’s residence.

Lin Chen began to tally the gains from this marketplace transaction.

“Ten Red Blood Flowers, thirty Blood Coagulation Grasses… enough for me to refine thirty furnaces of Qi Blood Pills!”

“In addition, there’s enough Qi-Nourishing Grass and other herbs needed for refining Qi Nourishing Pills for about ten furnaces…”

Lin Chen did a quick calculation; he sold ten bottles of Qi Blood Pills, earning him two hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.

And repurchasing these herbs cost him about a hundred Spirit Stones.

With a pill formation success rate of sixty percent, ten bottles of Qi Blood Pills would require at most seventeen furnaces to be refined.

“Hmm, roughly calculated, the profit from my alchemy… is about six hundred percent!”

“Herbs worth a hundred Spirit Stones, after being turned into pills and sold… can fetch six hundred Spirit Stones!”

Lin Chen’s eyes slightly brightened; such profit was indeed not low.

But while herbs are easy to find, alchemists are rare, and the low cost with high returns is also the norm for the Pills, Array, Artifact, and Talisman Cultivation Arts.

“Nevertheless, such high returns are due to my unique situation… I don’t even need to personally handle refining dozens of furnaces of pills.”

“But for alchemists in the Cultivation Realm, these dozens of furnaces of pills would take half a month or close to a month to refine!”

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth lifted.

This is the benefit of relying on a nation and having technology!

Not to mention, just this mass production of pills can save him countless time.

“Once I bring this batch of herbs back to Blue Star, I can sell the refined pills in batches…”

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and then took out the seven hundred Spirit Stones he obtained from trading the Five Thunders.

Seven hundred crystalline stones scattered on the table, emitting a rich spiritual energy.

“Just one transaction has multiplied my wealth several times over!”

“However, there are many risks in those black market transactions… those cultivators are not easy to deal with!”

“These Spirit Stones are enough for me to cultivate for several months, and once I break through to the late Qi Refining stage… I can go for another transaction.”

Lin Chen didn’t know he was mistaken for the Elder of Artifact Peak, thinking that being cautious couldn’t hurt.

A thought crossed his mind, and another array appeared in his hand.

A small Spirit Gathering Array, covering a range of thirty zhang!

“This array is the greatest gain this time!”

Lin Chen felt slightly emotional; he could already imagine how excited Wang Lishan and the others would be when this array was brought back to Blue Star!

“With the supply of Spirit Stones and the Spirit Gathering Array creating spiritual energy… perhaps cultivators could start emerging on Blue Star?”

It is easy to imagine that the birth of spiritual energy would be an epoch-making advancement for the entire Great Xia Country!

Though the foundation for cultivation on Blue Star is shallow, it could still benefit in enhancing the Martial Path.

Once the cultivation foundation is sufficient, one might even practice Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation!

Imagine having the profound techniques of a cultivator and the robust physique of a martial artist at the same time, the increase in power would be terrifying.

“However…”

Lin Chen’s thoughts suddenly shifted, and he frowned slightly.

“However, the Spirit Stones needed for this plan are undoubtedly enormous…”

“Not to mention, just supplying the Spirit Gathering Array for hundreds to cultivate… would probably require a lot of Spirit Stones.”

“With just my own strength, I’m afraid it’s difficult to earn that many Spirit Stones.”

Thinking of this, an unavoidable thought emerged in Lin Chen’s mind.

To have a force of his own!

On Blue Star, with the nation as a backing, he lacks neither manpower nor resources.

But in the Cultivation Realm, everything depends on himself.

Not to mention, just cultivating spiritual medicine and selling pills are enough to keep him busy, inevitably affecting his personal cultivation.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, recalling what he had seen and heard at the marketplace this time.

“Pill Peak’s weakness, for me… is instead an opportunity!”

“After all, all the pill shops in the marketplace at the foot of the mountain are run by outside loose cultivators!”

“If I can revive the influence of Pill Peak by opening a pill shop…”

Lin Chen considered the feasibility and pros and cons of this matter.

As a disciple of Pill Peak, opening a pill shop in the marketplace would undoubtedly receive the support of the sect.

In addition, his master Han Jihai also has the intention to strengthen Pill Peak, hence this move would also receive support.

His senior brothers and sisters could also offer some assistance.

The most crucial thing… is the presence of over a hundred outer sect disciples of Pill Peak.

Although Pill Peak is weak, and the outer sect disciples are scattered and rarely contact each other daily.

But once Lin Chen opens a pill shop, he can recruit them, binding them together into an unignorable force.

“The above are the driving forces… but there may also be resistance!”

In Lin Chen’s view, the greatest resistance would undoubtedly come from those loose cultivators running the pill shops.

By doing this, Lin Chen is undoubtedly taking a piece of meat from their mouths.

“However, with the reliance on the sect, as long as I’m cautious… there shouldn’t be much risk!”

Lin Chen thought to himself.

This plan could greatly improve his resource acquisition on Pill Peak, and now he needs to start preparing.

“When I reach the late Qi Refining stage, I should almost be able to reveal my mid-stage cultivation… I can also propose the matter of establishing a pill shop to my master!”

After finishing his thoughts, Lin Chen took out a jade scroll.

“This Celestial Derivation Technique given by senior brother can amplify divine sense… it’s quite miraculous, perhaps I should cultivate it a bit?”

Lin Chen inserted his divine sense into the jade scroll, carefully reading this cultivation technique.

“The Great Path is fifty; Celestial Derivation is forty-nine…”

Line by line of obscure and profound words flooded into Lin Chen’s mind.

It wasn’t until half a two-hour period later, when Lin Chen’s spirit left the jade scroll, that his face carried a look of shock.

“This Celestial Derivation Technique… truly an ancient method! It seems… too precious!”

Lin Chen was slightly silent; he didn’t expect his third senior brother to casually gift him such a precious cultivation technique.

According to the depiction in the Celestial Derivation Technique, this cultivation technique is divided into nine layers.

With each layer cultivated, one’s divine sense increases by ten percent of their current realm.

When fully cultivated to perfection, one can have double their realm’s divine sense!

To have double the divine sense of one’s realm is almost equivalent to transcending realms with one’s divine sense.

It’s almost like… during the Late Core Formation stage, one possesses the divine sense of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!

In addition, the Celestial Derivation Technique also contains a Settling Technique that can avoid danger and foresee success and failure.

“It’s just a pity that this incomplete Celestial Derivation only goes up to the Fourth Layer…”

“But even so, such a secret technique to enhance divine sense is still too precious!”

Lin Chen felt slightly moved; the senior brothers and sisters in the Cultivation Realm treated him very well.

After practicing the Celestial Derivation Technique for a short while, Lin Chen felt his Divine Soul was somewhat fatigued.

The strength of the Divine Soul at the Qi Cultivation Stage is insufficient to support Lin Chen’s long-term cultivation of the Celestial Derivation Technique.

Therefore, Lin Chen took out Spirit Stones and started practicing the Evergreen Technique.

After a night of cultivation.

By the next morning, the two Spirit Stones in Lin Chen’s hand turned to powder.

At the same time, the True Essence in his body also grew stronger.

After having breakfast, Lin Chen routinely practiced the Breathing Technique for two hours.

Until noontime, he didn’t stay in the Spirit Field but went to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion instead.

“As an Inner Sect Disciple, I’m allowed to borrow three tier-two cultivation techniques a month… I can’t waste it!”

After greeting the Elder of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, Lin Chen didn’t linger on the first floor and went straight to the second floor of the pavilion.

“Hmm, those preparations for returning to Blue Star can also be put to use…”

Lin Chen activated the nano camera on his wristband.
