Chapter 90: Seventh-Level Flesh Refining Layer (1)
"Seclusion chamber... Spiritual Energy Treasure... And a pond with accumulated Blessing of Earth before me..." Qin Lan used his fingers to calculate the number of fortune converged together with him right now.
Furthermore, there are two Essence Transformation Pills in his Purple-Dragon Spatial Jade, which he reserved for uses in an emergency.
"The world will call me a fool if I don't take advantage of this opportunity right in front of me!" Qin Lan no longer hesitates. Many average materials like Yao Beast corpses and medicinal herbs were quickly taken out from the Qiankun Pouch.
"Flameless Lizard Demon Beast's blood,"
"Changshen Dew,"
"Spiritual Serenity Grass,"
"Foul Essence Silver Ink,"
"And a little of my own physique bloodline..." Qin Lan refined the extract of the treasure he has in hand and injected them into the Kunlun Hill's Dragon Moss.
Qin Lan then devoured all the Jewel Lotus Fruit he brought with him when leaving the spiritual cave. But instead of assimilating the Spiritual Energy into his body, he directed the energy and nutrients towards the flowerless plant through multiple thin strands as fine as a string.
The sudden nourishment activates Kunlun Hill's Dragon Moss cell activity. Stalks with a bulb on its tip outgrown on that already flimsy-looking patch of moss.
Looking at the hundred or so bulbs extended out from the patch of flowerless plant, Qin Lan smiled. The reason behind his suddenly cheerful expression is, of course, due to the content hidden inside the bulb.
The content inside is none other than the sweet and refreshing extract Qin Lan swallowed a while earlier. What Qin Lan was doing beforehand is to force the nutrients into the malnourished plant to make it active once again.
After waiting for an hour or so, the bulbs finally blew and deflated like an animal skin container. The extract as delicate as a spray of water mist is immediately collected by Qin Lan using the medicinal bottle in his hand.
This process repeated until Qin Lan had a total of ten medicinal bottles filled.
"At last!" Qin Lan wiped the sweat as large as a bead on his forehead after he accomplished his task. Looking at the ten or so bottles of Dragon Moss Extract, an expression filled with satisfaction and content is shown on his face.
In this world, cultivation resources are divided into many kinds, types, quality, and forth. An example that can be used would be the Jewel Lotus Fruit, which contained a tenth of Spiritual Energy of what a Flesh Foundation Pill had.
But what else after the Flesh Foundation Pill?
Some might mention the Li-Tong Pill. A Li-Tong Pill is worth threefold of Spiritual Energy compared to a Flesh Foundation Pill. Furthermore, this pill always came in a set of three. Taking them consecutively in the three hours gap provides ten times the effectiveness during cultivation training.
Or perhaps, the Turbulence Pill, which is the preferable type of pill for cultivators that followed the path to Body Refining. While the Spiritual Energy in the medicine remained the same as a Flesh Foundation Pill, the additional turbulence energy is what they sought after.
But in terms of price, it cost them three Flesh Foundation Pills instead.
Furthermore, there are more options the higher is the cultivation achievement. As an example, the Bone Foundation Pill used by Bone Reconstruction Cultivator and Spiritual Foundation Pill used by a Spiritual Root Cultivator.
A Bone Foundation Pill alone worth a hundredfold of Spiritual Energy a Flesh Foundation Pill has, and a Spiritual Foundation Pill worth a hundredfold of what a Bone Foundation Pill has.
As the Spiritual Energy contained in these three types of the pill is standardized, it allowed them to be used as the baseline of a currency measurement.
Of course, the baseline of a currency or not, they're incomparable to Precelestial Essence. Although a drop of Precelestial Essence worth about the same as a Spiritual Foundation Pill, it is much more valuable because of its trait.
And the ten medicinal bottles with Dragon Moss Extract before Qin Lan is just as precious as the Precelestial Essence.
Although each drop of the Dragon Moss Extract is equivalent to a single Bone Foundation Pill's worth of Spiritual Energy, being usable by mortal and cultivators from all layers made its value nowhere lesser than the Precelestial Essence.
"Ten bottles, a hundred drops each... That's about 100,000 Flesh Foundation Pills available for me to use." Qin Lan hand shook slightly for having this kind of resource in his hand. It was almost equivalent to how much Sun Wu Jian earned during their few days inside the Precelestial Essence Mine.
Qin Lan turned his sight onto the flowerless plant as he catches up with his breath.
The Kunlun Hill's Dragon Moss currently seems to more robust after what Qin Lan did. The brownish surface has now started to show a translucent green hue as its lifeforce has begun to recover.
"It's time for me to strengthen my cultivation!" the fire of improvement ignites in Qin Lan's mind as he steeled his heart to strengthens his cultivation.
Seated cross-legged by the Kunlun Hill's Dragon Moss, Qin Lan starts to strengthen his cultivation by drinking an entire bottle worth of extract! It was as if he's swallowing ten thousand Flesh Foundation Pills into his body at once!
The sudden introduction of Spiritual Energy started to run amok inside him as Qin Lan uses the chances to unblock his meridian channels.
The process continued as he gulps the second and third bottles at once.
Soon, the Mistral Flesh Diagram appeared in his mind.
One more imperfection started to fade as the Spiritual Energy continue to sculpt his body into perfection. But it was far from Qin Lan's aim as he was trying to achieve more than that.
Pouring the remaining Dragon Moss Extract into his body, the excruciating pain multiplies as Qin Lan's body started to crack. Muscles that weren't built to withstand the stress of over-flooding it with Spiritual Energy began to tear off by pieces.
"Secrets of the Kuangshan Lu Sect! Kuangshan Healer's Art! Immortal Mental Technique!"
"Refining my Flesh, Refining my Body, Refining my Physique!"
"Not Dying Because You Dare To Die,"
"Not Dying Because You Dare To Die,"
"Not Dying Because You Dare To Die!!!"
"I will not fall here because this is not where I'm going to fell in my pursuit to the pinnacle of cultivation!" Qin Lan repeated the same advice he gave to Huo Zunjie thrice as he clenched his teeth together to withstand the challenge of advancing his cultivation.
Then, the miracle he expected came at last.
Two imperfections shown on the Mistral Flesh Diagram slowly disintegrate from his mind as Qin Lan felt a surge of comfortable wind around his body.
