Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 407: Win-Win Cooperation

Water Technique Refining and Fire Technique Refining, while different paths, share the same principles.

For many pill formulas, both Water Technique and Fire Technique can be used interchangeably.

True Master Changsheng can deduce the three main ingredients of the Cold Jade Pill.

However, a complete pill formula, aside from the main ingredients, includes over a dozen supplementary ingredients.

With so many main and supplementary ingredients, one must fully consider the characteristics of various medicinal materials to bring out their effects.

The quantity and combination of various medicinal materials is an extremely delicate matter.

Many Pill Masters, even after spending decades or centuries, cannot develop a new pill formula.

The success of the Cold Jade Pill is based on Li Ruyi’s successful improvement, combined with Shen Xuan’s progress bar hints from the Mysterious Jade Talisman, and True Master Cold Jade’s exceptional control over Ice Technique.

The three combined are indispensable.

Even for True Master Changsheng, determining the precise formula for the Cold Jade Pill would take decades.

Whether it can succeed is still unknown.

"This matter is of great importance, I need to consider it for a few days."

True Master Cold Jade did not provide an immediate answer.

Returning to Cold Jade Peak.

After listening to the details of the True Master’s meeting, Shen Xuan suggested: "Master does not need to trade with Uncle Changsheng."

"Donate the Cold Jade Pill formula to the Sect. Let the Sect reward Master with a Water Technique Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace."

Originally, Shen Xuan just wanted to refine the Purifying Foundation Pill himself, to enhance the quality of his Dao Foundation to prepare for future Core Formation.

However, considering the efficacy and improved cost-effectiveness of the Purifying Foundation Pill, Shen Xuan realized that things shouldn’t be taken too simply.

In some aspects, the Cultivation Realm and the Mortal World are not different.

Strength is respected, and interest is prioritized.

Whenever significant interests are involved, it won’t be that simple.

The cost-effectiveness of the Cold Jade Pill is destined to be a huge cake.

Its significance is comparable to Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

Every cultivation influence wants to rush ahead to take part.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and direct disciple, Shen Xuan certainly cannot withstand the enormous pressure that follows.

Even Master Cold Jade cannot bear it.

The Sect’s eighteen True Masters, not a single one can remain outside of Sect affairs.

Although True Master Cold Jade and True Master Gu Feng are not in office.

Their contribution to the Sect is relatively small.

However, the Sect still allocated Tier Three Spiritual Land to the two of them, and periodically provided True Master level cultivation resources.

The orders issued by the Sect must still be obeyed by them both.

On the other hand.

To strengthen and expand the Cold Jade Pill, a large amount of spirit medicine resources and much manpower and material resources are needed.

Relying solely on True Master Cold Jade is obviously impossible.

After all, she is a True Master.

Cultivation is the fundamental.

Refining Tier Two Spirit Pills is using big talent for small use.

It’s impossible to spend too much effort on the refinement of the Cold Jade Pill.

Donating to the Sect and relying on the Sect is the best way.

With the support of Cyan Cloud Sect, gathering various spirit medicines to withstand pressures.

Only then can he refine pills and cultivate without distractions.

This way can achieve a win-win result.

However, Shen Xuan is not one to suffer losses.

It’s a good opportunity to solve the issue of the Water Technique Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace for Master.

He can’t let Master work hard and end up with nothing.

"What you said is very right. I will only trade with the Sect."

True Master Cold Jade understood Shen Xuan’s meaning.

So, she doesn’t have to deal directly with True Master Changsheng.

True Master Cold Jade’s water technique refining, having achievements in the future, will inevitably challenge the status of True Master Changsheng.

It’s better for the two to communicate less.

Originally, Shen Xuan thought of emulating the Thunder Spirit Pearl, by taking a commission from the Cold Jade Pill’s sales in the form of technology, obtaining a certain amount of Spirit Stones as compensation.

Thinking carefully, there is no need for this.

This commission ratio is hard to achieve.

The Sect would not easily agree.

Even if agreed, the ratio would be pushed very low.

Might as well obtain the huge income straightforwardly.

The Water Technique Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace is much more expensive than ordinary Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts.

Even Shen Xuan’s Tier Two Top Grade Wanlong Xuanshui Furnace, the friendship price was eighty thousand Spirit Stones.

The Water Technique Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace that True Master Changsheng brought out is valued in terms of millions of Spirit Stones.

Just relying on the Cold Jade Pill’s commission, who knows how many years it will take to reach!

...

A month later.

In the warehouse of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

A new type of Tier Two Special Spirit Pill appeared.

Named Cold Jade Pill.

Five thousand Sect contribution points are required to exchange for one pill.

Moreover, there are additional conditions.

Firstly, the realm cultivation of the exchanger must be Late Stage of Foundation Establishment or above.

Secondly, private transfer is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, severe punishment will be meted out.

Thirdly, each Cold Jade Pill has a serial number, registered. Each person can purchase a maximum of four pills per month.

Such harsh conditions make many sect disciples hesitate.

However, in front of the warehouse, a long queue still formed.

At a glance.

A queue of more than a dozen people, all at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment or Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Some who participated in the Daoist Demon Battlefield outside, rushed back after getting the news.

Steward Qian registered meticulously.

Not daring to neglect even one.

"Steward Qian, when will there be more Cold Jade Pills available?"

Asked by Ye Lingfeng, Celestial Wind True Master’s first disciple.

Foundation Establishment Perfection, planning to attempt Core Formation within the next few years.

Upon hearing of the Cold Jade Pill’s appearance, he rushed back from the Daoist Demon Battlefield.

"Elder Ye, there are thirteen elders registered before you, each maxed out at four pills. That’s over fifty pills."

Steward Qian glanced at Ye Lingfeng and continued: "Every ten days, eight to ten pills will be sent."

"If things go smoothly, you can obtain Cold Jade Pills in two months."

Ye Lingfeng’s brow slightly furrowed: "Still have to wait two months?"

"Two months, and that’s assuming everything goes smoothly."

"Can’t more Cold Jade Pills be sent?"

Steward Qian wiped some imaginary sweat.

"Steward Qian, be cautious in speech! These are Water Technique Spirit Pills."

Ye Lingfeng instantly realized he misspoke.

These Cold Jade Pills aren’t produced by the Spirit Pill Hall, but provided by Cold Jade Peak.

Not even him.

Even his master, Celestial Wind True Master, wouldn’t dare urge True Master Cold Jade for more pills.

"Isn’t it said that the Spirit Pill Hall is also refining Cold Jade Pills?"

"Disciple does not know."

From behind, a Core Formation Seed laughed.

"The Spirit Pill Hall tried several furnaces, and they all exploded!"

"Exactly! The Spirit Pill Hall is becoming increasingly in decline."

"I wouldn’t say that! After all, switching from Water Technique Refining to Fire Technique Refining isn’t that easy."

"Yes, but the Cold Jade Peak improved the pill formula, transforming the Purifying Foundation Pill into the Cold Jade Pill, wasn’t that effortless?"

Ye Lingfeng hurriedly spoke to halt them.

"Alright! Everyone, stop discussing!"

"Let’s all strive to earn more contribution points. Four pills a month, twenty thousand contribution points, see how long you can endure!"

...

Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Hall Master’s Mansion.

True Master Tong Xuan looked at the respectful Lv Zhengying before him.

At this moment, Lv Zhengying was presenting a medicine bottle with both hands.

"Is this the Cold Jade Pill refined by Shen Xuan?"

"Yes."

"How does it compare to Junior Sister Cold Jade’s refinement?"

"Though there are differences, they are minimal, negligible."

Lv Zhengying explained, "These are Senior Brother Shen’s exact words."

"He’s clever, knowing to put Junior Sister Cold Jade in front."

True Master Tong Xuan opened the bottle stopper and took a look.

Inside, there were ten Cold Jade Pills.

"I accept his intentions."

"Lv Zhengying."

"Disciple here."

"Don’t provoke the people from the Spirit Pill Hall."

"Yes, True Master."

Lv Zhengying solemnly stated, "Whenever I see someone from the Spirit Pill Hall, I immediately keep my distance."

"Hmm. The Spirit Pill Hall is currently hotheaded, it’s good for you to avoid them."

...

Spirit Pill Hall.

Alchemy Room.

Ge Chengming continually cast spells onto a pill furnace.

A rich medicinal aroma permeated the air.

Huang Yuan took a deep breath, his face showing joy. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

But he dared not make a sound, for fear of disturbing the senior brother’s pill refining.

This was the seventh furnace.

The previous six furnaces either exploded or produced wasted pills.

The senior brother’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

Huang Yuan understood.

With the advent of the Cold Jade Pill.

The dissatisfaction of the Sect’s other peaks and halls towards the Spirit Pill Hall was growing.

Over the years, their master has been busy with cultivation and refining the Golden Transformation Pill.

They, as direct disciples, have not produced any commendable accomplishments.

Even the Sect’s pill refining tasks frequently suffer delays.

This time, the Cold Jade Pill suddenly emerged.

It’s said that the master incurred great expense, sacrificing a treasured Tier Three Spiritual Artifact pill furnace of many years, just to obtain the Cold Jade Pill formula.

Senior Brother followed the inheritance of the Purifying Foundation Pill, using Fire Technique Refining for the Cold Jade Pill, theoretically feasible.

But in practice, due to minute mistakes, he hasn’t succeeded in refining a pill yet.

Fortunately, Senior Brother is ultimately a Tier Two Top Grade Pill Master.

With each failure, he learns a lesson and corrects an error.

This time, the process was extremely smooth, success seems to be in sight.

Ge Chengming cast several spells onto the pill furnace.

The surface of the furnace emitted dazzling spiritual light, the lid trembling slightly.

"It’s about to solidify the pill!"

Ge Chengming showed a smile, his hand tirelessly switching spells and hitting the pill furnace.

"Open!"

With Ge Chengming’s shout, the pill furnace’s lid opened, a burst of mist rose out.

Three Cold Jade Pills, steaming and shining with spiritual light, fell into Ge Chengming’s palm.

Among them, one had a gray-black surface, clearly a wasted pill.

The other two had intertwined patterns, emitting spiritual light, evidently qualified products.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for successfully refining the Cold Jade Pill!"

Huang Yuan quickly stepped forward to offer congratulations.

"Only two qualified products."

Ge Chengming’s face looked a bit better.

"The timing was a bit rushed, it should improve next time."

"Senior Brother, in merely a month, you’ve managed to refine the Cold Jade Pill, that’s already impressive."

Huang Yuan eagerly said, "As long as you refine it a few more times, Senior Brother’s pill success rate will undoubtedly exceed forty percent."

Ge Chengming nodded with a smile, storing away the elixir and pill furnace.

"Everyone’s been exhausted, take a two-day rest. Everyone present will be rewarded with a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill."

The stewards and alchemy apprentices in the alchemy room expressed their thanks in return.

"Three days later, I’ll start the furnace to refine the Cold Jade Pill again. You can withdraw now."

"Junior Brother Huang, you should head back too."

After dismissing the others.

Ge Chengming returned alone to his cave mansion, entering the secret chamber.

Carefully closing the chamber and activating the restriction array.

Then, sitting cross-legged, he carried out mystical exercises.

His body emitted a faint black mist, a devil eye emerging from his brow.

"Thousand Eyes Demon Lord, have you ever seen such a spirit pill?"

Ge Chengming presented the freshly refined Cold Jade Pill to the demon eye.

The demon eye anthropomorphically sniffed.

"Tier Two Spirit Pill. I’ve never seen it before."

"This is the Cold Jade Pill, created by True Master Cold Jade of the Sect, just refined by me."

"Hmm. Although I am a Pill Master, all my refinements are Demon Pills, using cultivator’s elixir core, Dao foundation, flesh as materials, completely different from yours."

Ge Chengming calmly said, "This Cold Jade Pill is essentially a Purifying Foundation Pill."

"Purifying Foundation Pill!"

The demon eye looked surprised.

"Your Cyan Cloud Sect can also refine Purifying Foundation Pills?"

"Strictly speaking, it’s a weakened version of the Purifying Foundation Pill, only possessing thirty percent of the original efficacy."

Ge Chengming tossed the freshly refined Cold Jade Pill into his mouth.

Then, initiated the refinement of the medicinal power.

After half an hour.

Ge Chengming opened his eyes.

"Excellent pill!"

The demon eye sighed and said, "Indeed, an excellent pill! Your Dao foundation is purer than it was."

Ge Chengming smiled slightly.

"Lord Thousand Eyes Demon, if the Cyan Cloud Sect can refine Purifying Foundation Pill, this information, selling it to Medicine God Valley, can exchange for several Golden Transformation Pills!"
