The speed of breaking through to the middle stage of the mortal realm was faster than he had expected.
Originally, Su Yi’s plan was to break through to the middle stage of the mortal realm within a week to half a month.
However, he now broke through in half a day.
Thinking of this, Su Yi’s gaze fell on the Starry Sea Bottle in his hand.
He did not know how far the celestial grade pill would allow him to break through today.
“It’s time to go out and buy a medicinal pill to see the effects of the Starry Sea Bottle.”
Su Yi’s eyes shone brightly. He put the Starry Sea Bottle into the immortal destiny seal and left.
In a small-scale medicinal pill shop in Green City.
At this moment, it was full of people.
After everyone cultivated immortality, the city’s former medicinal shops were basically changed into medicinal pill shops.
However, they were basically limited to buying medicinal pills at the mortal realm. Medicinal pills of a higher realm had to be bought from the shops in the major secret regions.
As soon as Su Yi walked to the counter, the salesperson asked, “hello, sir. What kind of elixirs do you want to buy?”
As soon as the salesperson finished speaking, Su Yi’s eyes quickly swept across the price list.
“Give me a mortal pill.”
Mortal pills were mortal realm cultivation elixirs. They were made with ordinary medicinal herbs.
Even so, it still cost him 1,500 yuan.
As soon as he took the pill, he saw the properties of the mortal pill.
[Pill: Mortal pill.]
[Rank: Low-grade.]
[Medicinal effect: After consuming it, one’s cultivation will increase by 10 points.]
[Low-grade: After consuming 50 pills, one’s cultivation will reach the upper limit, and the medicinal effect will lose its effect.]
[Interval: 1 day.]
As everyone knows, all medicinal pills have a pill poison effect. If one overdoses by taking too many pills, not only will there be no benefits, but it will also poison the body of the cultivator. In serious cases, it will even damage the foundation of the cultivator.
After entering the digital era, the side effects would be converted into the upper limit of consumption.
In addition, the so-called interval naturally referred to the time it took to digest a medicinal pill.
After all, it was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to swallow dozens of medicinal pills in one go.
After paying, Su Yi took the small porcelain bottle containing the mortal pill and returned home. Afterward, he poured out the medicinal pill.
The pill was only the size of a peanut. It was black and round.
It also emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
“1,500 yuan for one pill. 50 pills would cost 75,000 yuan.”
“Moreover, after consuming all of them, only 500 points of cultivation will be added. I might not even be able to break through to the qi condensation realm.”
Looking at the pill in his hand, Su Yi sighed.
After the start of the Dao calendar, after the initial chaos, the value of all the items slowly stabilized. There were clear price tags for most items.
The basic materials of mortal level were around 500 yuan.
However, after it became a finished product, such as medicinal pills and equipment, the price tag was calculated according to the formula of ‘grade x basic materials’.
With this example, the multiplier would roughly be 3x for low-grade, 5x for medium-grade, and 10 x for high-grade.
In other words, the low-grade mortal pills were 1,500 yuan, and the middle-grade mortal pills were 2,500 yuan, and the high-grade mortal pills were 5,000 yuan.
When one reached the qi condensation realm, the value of the basic materials would rise to around 1,000 yuan, and the price would be calculated in multiples.
Of course, if it was a finished product of a higher grade, such as a top-grade mortal pill, it would be impossible to estimate. That was because those were all rare items. Countless cultivators would throw in thousands of gold coins for a certain effect, and it would be impossible to estimate the price.
As for the materials for the later stages, they would also be converted in terms of the basic value.
However, at that time, the mortal world’s currency would gradually lose its purchasing power and be converted into the currency used in the immortal cultivation world — spirit stones.
From this, it could be seen that in this digitized immortal cultivation world, the biggest factor in how far a cultivator could go on the path of cultivation was resources.
No matter how talented an ordinary family was, they might not be able to stand out if they did not have resources.
On the contrary, in a rich family, even if a person was an idiot, as long as he had enough resources, he would be able to push his cultivation to a certain level.
Su Yi let out a long sigh.
This was the first time Su Yi tried to use the Starry Sea Bottle.
He opened the bottle cap and saw that the inside of the Starry Sea Bottle was pitch black, like a black hole. Occasionally, there would be sparse starlight flashing.
After Su Yi put the mortal pill in, he closed the bottle lid.
The next second…
The Starry Sea Bottle started to flash with a faint silver light, and the body of the bottle gradually became transparent.
At this moment, there were countless stars inside the pitch-black bottle, emitting a faint cold light. It was like an independent small universe.
In the next second, those dim stars seemed to have been summoned by some mysterious power, and all of them became bright.
Then, the bright stars turned into dazzling star power and flew toward the bottom of the bottle, wrapping the pill up.
The pill that was wrapped by the star power floated up in the bottle.
Under the erosion of the star power, the color of the pill began to slowly change.
After a while, the light on the star ocean bottle suddenly disappeared. The bottle returned to its original appearance.
[Hint: The Starry Sea Bottle’s medicinal pill has been purified. 1 energy consumed. Obtained: Mortal pill (Celestial grade) x 1.]
Su Yi could not wait to pour the medicinal pill out of the Starry Sea Bottle.
After the medicinal pill was removed, a rich medicinal fragrance immediately spread out.
The size of the medicinal pill did not change much.
However, the originally pitch-black color had already turned brown, and there were circles of pill patterns that were filled with an immortal aura on them.
At this moment, the purified medicinal pill’s attributes were displayed in front of Su Yi’s eyes.
[Medicinal pill: Mortal pill.]
[Rank: Celestial-grade.]
[Medicinal effect: After consuming it, your cultivation will increase by 1000 points.]
[Celestial-grade: There is no limit to the number of times you can consume it. After consuming one pill, you can form a low grade spiritual root for a cultivator.]
[Interval: 2 days.]
After seeing the attributes of this celestial-grade mortal pill, Su Yi’s eyes were immediately filled with shock.
Not only would his cultivation increased by a hundred times, but there was actually no limit to his consumption!
One had to know that all the medicinal pills in the cultivation world had pill poison effect.
Regardless of the realm, as the grade of the medicinal pill increased, after a certain point in time, it could no longer be consumed.
And after being purified by the Starry Sea Bottle, there was actually no limit to the consumption of the medicinal pill.
How could Su Yi not be shocked?
More importantly, this celestial-grade mortal pill was actually able to mold a cultivator’s low-grade spiritual root.
In other words, it was able to upgrade one’s innate talent. If it were to be placed in the outside world, it would definitely cause huge waves.
In the past hundred years of the Dao calendar, there had never been a medicinal pill that could change one’s innate talent.
At this time, Su Yi finally understood what a treasure of destiny was.
If celestial-grade medicinal pills were so effective, then what about divine grade, destiny grade, or primordial chaos grade?
Opening his mouth, he could not wait to swallow the celestial-grade mortal pill.
As soon as the medicinal pill entered his throat, it turned into a ray of spiritual light and directly entered Su Yi’s qi center.
A moment later, Su Yi felt an incomparably huge amount of energy in his body, filling his limbs and bones.
Suddenly, a multicolored light flashed around his body and finally turned into wisps of immortal qi that swam around Su Yi’s body, spreading across the muscles, bones, and meridians in his body.
In a trance, it was as if a heavenly sound could be heard. It was solemn and divine.
After a long while, the multicolored light on Su Yi’s body dimmed.
[Hint: Consumed mortal pill (celestial-grade), cultivation increased by 1000 points, talent increased to low-grade spiritual root!]
Following the prompt, Su Yi’s body crackled, and rays of gentle light shone from his meridians.
[Hint: Cultivation has reached 300, breakthrough to mortal advanced stage. strength + 20, physique + 20, inner breath + 20]
[Hint: Cultivation has reached 500, breakthrough to early stage of qi condensation. Strength + 50, physique + 50, inner breath + 50.]
[Hint: You have broken through a major realm. Comprehension + 10, permanent cultivation effect + 5, number of breaths + 1.]
[Hint: Your talent has been raised to low-grade spiritual root, permanent cultivation effect + 3.]
In the next moment, Su Yi’s personal attributes appeared in front of him.
