Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration-Chapter 98: Spirit Melting Fluid

"I came here to ask for a bottle of Spirit Melting Fluid from you." Jiang Li respectfully requested.

"Spirit Melting Fluid. What do you want that for?" Elder Red Hair stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Li in surprise.

Spirit Melting Fluid was an extremely dangerous pill refinement material in the cultivation world.

It was composed of three types of extremely dangerous spiritual liquid. They were allocated in a certain ratio, and the characteristics had undergone a huge change.

The pure Spirit Melting Fluid would not harm any physical object. Even mortals would not die if they touched it.

However, to an object rich in spiritual qi, it was simply like acid.

Even if a cultivator's Golden Core was soaked by it, it would turn into nothing after some time.

However, this wondrous liquid would show a different reaction after coming into contact with spiritual qi. After it was completely filled with spiritual qi, its nature would change and some other effects would appear.

"My spiritual root grade is not good. Cultivating Qi Refinement is difficult, so…"

Jiang Li did not finish speaking, but Elder Red Hair already understood.

"Are you going to break through?"

"That master of yours is really generous. He actually directly gave you high-grade spirit stones for your cultivation."

Elder Red Hair looked conflicted. He cursed Elder He in his heart.

It's one thing for you to be a tycoon, but why did you have to implicate me?

This was because Jiang Li had said "ask" the moment he entered, not buy. It could be seen that Jiang Li had no intention of paying him spirit stones at all.

Logically speaking, Elder Red Hair was not willing to pay for this.

However, when he asked Jiang Li to test the pills for him earlier, the amount of pills Jiang Li tested had clearly far exceeded the scope of the pill testing mission.

Although he had given additional spirit stones and compensation, and also obtained Jiang Li's approval, it was indeed not right for him to do so.

It would have been fine if Jiang Li had always been an outer sect disciple, but now, not only had he become an inner sect disciple, he had even taken the Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall as his master.

Now that his status had changed, Elder Red Hair naturally could not deal with it so casually anymore.

Elder Red Hair hesitated for a long time before finally succumbing to the pressure of the words "Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall".

He walked to the medicine cabinet and started to search. Finally, he found a small pitch-black bottle in a drawer.

Then, he was suddenly stunned and recalled what Jiang Li had said when he entered the room earlier.

"Wait, how much did you say you want?"

"One bottle? Impossible! Do you know how many spirit stones the Spirit Melting Fluid is worth? I'll give you five drops at most, no! Three drops!"

Elder Red Hair's fiery red hair instantly blew up. The Spirit Melting Fluid was a material that could only be used by alchemists above the Core Formation realm. It could be said to be very, very expensive.

The price of this small bottle was not just two high-grade spirit stones. Even if the Elder of the Alchemy Hall was rich, he could not waste it so casually.

"Elder, that's too little. How about 30 drops?"

On Jiang Li's side, he even started bargaining with the other party.

At this time, he no longer showed the resolve to sacrifice everything for the sect's elder as a pill testing disciple.

The reason why he came to the Alchemy Hall to look for Elder Red Hair was because he really needed the Spirit Melting Liquid.

Secondly, he was relying on his master's reputation to specially come and visit this Elder Red Hair to get the material for free.

However, even he did not expect things to go so smoothly. Elder Red Hair was actually so easygoing despite the large amount that Jiang Li wanted.

Of course, Jiang Li was not stupid enough to think that the other party was making up for exploiting him or that Jiang Li himself had such great prestige.

The only possibility was that his master did have some standing in the sect.

In the end, under Elder Red Hair's pained expression, Jiang Li took away a porcelain bottle that contained ten drops of pure Spirit Melting Fluid.

However, the only thing that caused Elder Red Hair to feel gratified was that before he left, Jiang Li had helped him clear away the waste pills and ashes that he had accumulated in the Pill Chamber for a long time.

At least he knew how to respect his elders.

...

After returning to his small courtyard, Jiang Li activated the two layers of defensive formations and locked himself in the cultivation room that had the tightest defense.

He took out a small porcelain bowl and eagerly placed a high-grade spirit stone inside.

Jiang Li had specially gone to the Alchemy Hall to get ten drops of Spirit Melting Fluid to use these high-grade spirit stones.

In truth, after he obtained the high-grade spirit stones, he had already begun to use them to assist in cultivating the "Ghost Wood Art".

Using high-grade spirit stones to cultivate was indeed very smooth and the effects were obvious.

However, when Jiang Li absorbed a breath of spiritual qi and refined it, the process was actually not different from his usual Qi Refinement actions.

He regretfully discovered that the method of directly absorbing high-grade spirit stones to cultivate was an immediate effect. It could not become a status in the interface.

Since he could not trigger the status, it naturally meant that he could not change the duration of the status by using the "plus and minus buttons", thus losing his greatest advantage.

Therefore, he had to think of a way to turn the spiritual qi in this high-grade spirit stone into a buff.

Fortunately, he had learned how to refine pills in a few days. The matter of the Spirit Melting Fluid happened to be within his scope of knowledge.

Jiang Li took out a small bottle and dabbed a drop of Spirit Melting Fluid using a small hairpin.

He then moved the hairpin to the high-grade spirit stone in the small bowl.

The colorless and transparent liquid landed on the high-grade spirit stone.

Ssss!

With a slight sound, the high-grade spirit stone that Jiang Li had absorbed for two whole weeks without much change dimmed at a visible speed by at least two degrees.

As for the drop of clear and transparent Spirit Melting Fluid, it had turned into a rich milky white color. From time to time, two golden threads would flow through it.

It seemed like Elder Red Hair had not given him a counterfeit.

Jiang Li was very satisfied with the scene before him.

However, he did not immediately take action. Instead, he waited for a moment to let the drop of Spirit Melting Fluid completely react.

When the Spirit Melting Liquid was pure, whoever touched it would suffer from the Spirit Erosion Poison.

However, once it was completely filled with spiritual qi, it would lose the effect of spirit melting and become the first drop of spiritual liquid with an extremely high concentration that could be directly consumed by cultivators.

This was also the simplest and most wasteful method of using the Spirit Melting Fluid. Cultivators often used it to break through bottlenecks.

After waiting for a moment, Jiang Li picked up the spirit stone in the porcelain bowl and poured the drop of spiritual liquid into his mouth.

[Consuming a high-grade Spirit Melting Fluid. Added Status: Spiritual Qi Infusion]

[Spiritual Qi Infusion: 50 points of high-grade spiritual qi absorbed per second. Duration: 30 seconds] (− +)

It was as if his entire body was filled with air from the inside. It swelled up bit by bit, and his meridians and Qi Sea were quickly filled with pure spiritual qi.

It made him feel as if he was about to explode.

Jiang Li hurriedly placed the dimmed high-grade spirit stone beside him.

First, he set the duration of this [Spiritual Qi Infusion] to infinite. Then, he immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state, circulating the Ghost Wood Art with all his might.
