My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 460 - 182: Daze Fang City, Golden Bow and Silver Bullet_4

Treasure Tower.

At last.

Chen Sansi’s steps halted in front of a shop.

"What do you need, Daoist?"

A female cultivator with a welcoming smile approached him.

"I’m just looking around."

Chen Sansi looked at the magic artifacts hanging on the wall, each accompanied by a wooden placard detailing its description.

[Guiyuan Sword]

[Quality: First-rank Lower Grade Magic Tool]

[Price: Twenty Spirit Stones]

[Purple Gold Hammer]

[Quality: First-rank Mid-grade Magic Tool]

[Price: Fifty Spirit Stones]

...

These magic tools, each more expensive than the last.

To genuinely afford one, he would have to mine for a year to save enough surplus spirit stones.

[Golden Bow and Silver Bullet]

[Quality: Supreme First-rank Top-grade Magic Weapon]

[Price: Two hundred Spirit Stones]

Chen Sansi stopped in his tracks.

"Daoist indeed has good taste,"

the female cultivator enthusiastically explained, "This Golden Bow and Silver Bullet, so long as you can shoot accurately, each bullet’s power is comparable to the full-force strike of a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator. There’s just this one; once it’s sold, there won’t be another, so make sure you don’t miss out."

"How wonderful..."

Chen Sansi was very tempted.

Unfortunately.

He didn’t have enough spirit stones.

Even if he did, with his current pitiful state at Qi Refining First Level, he couldn’t activate a tool of this caliber.

Maybe buy a flying sword?

If Chen Sansi remembered correctly, he should be able to perform Sword Flight starting from the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

But upon further consideration, he decided against it.

He lacked spiritual energy cultivation...

Merely relying on a single mid-grade spirit stone, he feared he couldn’t even cultivate to the Qi Refining Second Layer, otherwise, cultivators in this world wouldn’t be desperately acquiring cave mansions.

Moreover, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

He decided to look for some sustainable resources and thus started browsing through areas dedicated to various cultivation techniques.

Unlike mundane secret skill books, which are bound in paper,

most of the cultivation techniques here were embedded in palm-sized jade scrolls, which required cultivators to inject a thread of spiritual power to glimpse some of their contents, and upon purchase, one could access the full version.

[Nourishing Essence Pill. Pill recipe]

[Clearing God Pill. Pill recipe]

[...]

"Does Daoist wish to learn alchemy?"

The female cultivator, noticing he was a new loose cultivator in the Cultivation World, reminded him, "Our pill recipes here are quite basic and aren’t meant for ordinary loose cultivators.

"If you want to learn alchemy, it would be better to apprentice at the Hundred Elixir Workshop."

"Is apprenticeship the only way? Is there no other option?"

Chen Sansi pulled out a spirit crystal from his robe: "Miss, could you please explain in detail?"

"Daoist is quite generous,"

the female cultivator accepted the spirit crystal: "In the Cultivation World, there are over a hundred skills, and the most superior ones are Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talismans, and Formation Arrays. Mastering any of these can set one up for life in the Cultivation World."

"But it’s easier said than done. Most of these skills are monopolized by various powers, and it’s rare for loose cultivators to master them, not to mention the immense difficulty involved."

"Just to take the alchemy you’re interested in, without guidance in the early stages, it would result in a colossal waste of resources, and individuals with mediocre talent couldn’t possibly achieve any success."

"Even if you are a genius in the Alchemy Dao, you can’t avoid the apprenticeship route."

"As for pill recipes and pill furnaces, we have those here too, though the quality isn’t pursued."

"Just the matter of Elixir Fire isn’t something ordinary cultivators can afford."

"Elixir Fire?"

Chen Sansi inquired further: "What is Elixir Fire?"

"Elixir Fire, as the name suggests, naturally refers to the Immortal Fire used in alchemy and Artifact Refining, requiring special flames only available to alchemy powers.

"Without fire veins...

"One would need to purchase Abnormal Fire."

"Please look here, Daoist."

The female cultivator opened a box on the counter, displaying several wood logs within.

The logs glistened, clearly not made of mortal materials.

"When these logs burn, the Abnormal Fire produced is sufficient for crafting First-rank Lower and Mid-grade Elixir Pills, but each use roughly consumes several spirit stones; it’s more akin to burning spirit stones than logs, and without being a veteran alchemist, it almost always results in a loss."

Chen Sansi nodded slightly.

Abnormal Fire.

He had that!

From this discussion, Artifact Refining and alchemy seemed the most suitable skills for him to learn.

If he just managed to secure a pill recipe and a pill furnace, there would be no need to acquire additional flames.

"Thank you for the advice, miss; I’ll take a further look myself."

Chen Sansi subtly began to scout his targets.

As the female cultivator had said,

there were hardly any precious pill recipes that could enhance a cultivator’s Skills in the store; they were all minor recipes. Luckily, one of these included a recipe that could enhance Martial Arts into the Transcendence Realm—Nourishing Jing Pill.

He could make use of it.

If he could refine a few pills, their effect would far surpass treasure medicine, quickly aiding him to breach through the Profound Image Realm and strive towards the Martial Saint Realm.

Now more than ever,

he was becoming increasingly eager to achieve the breakthrough into Martial Saint.

Beneath Martial Saint...

Facing the current situation, the utility was indeed meager.

Take for example, under the circumstances in Luotian Mountain Range, to spar with other cultivators, he had to at least reach Martial Saint.

Unfortunately, at the current rate, it would still take him at least half a year to cultivate to the Profound Image Realm Perfection...

Purely in terms of speed, it was already rare in this world.

But it wasn’t enough.

He must be even faster to handle the upcoming situations.

Including the Witch God Sect of the grassland!

Yunzhou, ten days.
