Chapter 4277: Obtaining the Source Dao Stone
Before entering into the Dark Clouds Hell, Ling Han had already bought a large amount of medicinal ingredients. As an alchemist, he naturally had to make full use of his strengths at all times.
He decided to concoct an alchemical pill that would help him comprehend Dao.
In this place, healing medicine definitely did not have much future prospects.
The reason was very simple. If a battle broke out here, it would either result in death or severe injury.
A dead person naturally did not need any medicine, and in the case of severe injury, it was basically something like a severed arm or leg. Only a Saint-level Great Herb would be able to regrow a severed limb. Ling Han was completely unable to help with this.
Thus, he decided not to concoct any healing medicine.
Those that could increase cultivation... er, the Source Dao Stone here was a saintly item that could increase cultivation level. Otherwise, why would everyone have come here?
Thus, he could only sell alchemical pills that could help in the comprehension of Dao.
Your cultivation level may have increased, but without the corresponding Regulations comprehension, your cultivation level would be stuck, and you would not be able to advance the slightest bit further. And if you were to forcefully cultivate, that would only cause your body to explode.
-The difference in cultivation level and mental state was extremely dangerous.
Thus, this kind of alchemical pill should be very popular. After all, the people here could more or less obtain some Source Dao Stones, speeding up the advancement of their cultivation level, but there were still very few top-notch prodigies that could rely on themselves to keep up with the rapid advancement of their cultivation level.
He would do as he said.
Ling Han started to concoct alchemical pills. On the second day, he didn't receive any notification of battle on the Dark Battlefield, so he went out to set up a stall.
The stall was set up outside the Dark Battlefield. There were many people here, and there was no lack of rich people.
He didn't lack Dao Stones, so he naturally only accepted Source Dao Stones.
There were no alchemists in the City of Death. There were alchemical pills, but they were all brought in by outsiders, so there was naturally a limit to their numbers. Thus, once Ling Han set up a stall here, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
However, when they heard Ling Han say that he would only accept Source Dao Stones, a great many people immediately shook their heads and left.
The Source Dao Stone was too valuable. Who would be willing to part with it? Furthermore, it was not certain whether Ling Han's medicine was real or fake. In this City of Death, the only rule was that there were no rules. It was too normal for kidnapping, scamming and murder to take place.
If Ling Han was selling fake medicine, when he fled, where would they go to complain about the injustice?
Thus, there were only spectators on the first day, and no one made a move.
Ling Han didn't mind. A day passed, and he received a notification from the Dark Battlefield that there would be a battle today.
He had participated in the previous battle, and easily achieved victory. Furthermore, his luck was not too bad today, as he actually managed to be lined up for two battles. The second battle was naturally also won easily.
He had won three times in a row.
Not only did this allow him to earn his first Source Dao Stone, it also allowed him to gain some reputation. When he went out to set up a stall, someone finally dared to make an attempt, and bought three alchemical pills with a Source Dao Stone the size of a fingernail. Ling Han packed up his stall and returned to the inn. Then, he took out two Source Dao Stones and began to study them.
From the outside, the Source Dao Stone was actually very ordinary. However, there were a few blood-colored patterns on it, as if there had once been blood flowing from it.
After watching for a while, Ling Han took the Source Dao Stone and began to cultivate.
The two Source Dao Stones were refined into dust, and Ling Han's cultivation level advanced a bit. The sixth Silver Fetus was completed by one third.
"This has the same effect as the Evolution Fruit. It can also boost the advancement of the True Self. However, the Evolution Fruit can also help break through the limit. The Source Dao Stone can only purely speed up the formation of the True Self."
"The True Self is the condensation of Regulations. Thus, the fact that the Source Dao Stone can help the True Self evolve means that it itself is formed from Regulations. Of course, there are also a lot of other complicated things."
"However, the Source Dao Stone has another disadvantage."
"Reduce lifespan!"
Using the Source Dao Stone to rapidly increase one's cultivation level would expend a portion of one's life essence, and this amount wouldn't be much. Thus, compared to the rapid advancement of one's cultivation level, this disadvantage was overlooked.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"According to my deductions, if I use Source Dao Stones completely to advance to the end of the Third Form, the life essence expended would probably decrease my lifespan by 200
years."
This number... was very coincidental!
If Ling Han didn't rely on alchemical pills and cultivated on his own, it would take him about 200 years to reach the end of the third form.
In other words, the Source Dao Stone had simplified the process of cultivating, but the price paid was the same.
"From this aspect, the Source Dao Stone is equivalent to making an equivalent exchange."
"Forget it. What I need now is strength. I can bear this little loss of life."
On the second day, Ling Han continued to set up a stall.
One after another, people asked for the price, but there were only some who asked, and no one really made a move. In fact, there were even people who directly asked Ling Han to deliver the alchemical pills, looking like they had a powerful backer. If you don't give me the alchemical pills, I will send someone to take your life.
Towards this kind of person, Ling Han naturally would not be reserved, and directly thrashed
him.
Ling Han was extremely bored. He grabbed a straw hat to cover his face, and leaned against the wall to take a nap.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard, and stopped in front of his stand.
Ling Han didn't open his eyes. He had worn his mouth dry for the entire day, and this was practically even more tiring than fighting.
He was not the slightest bit worried that someone would steal his medicine, because he had already thrashed quite a number of such people, so there should be no one else that would come looking for a beating.
"Do you have any Four Suns Pills here?" A man's voice rang out. His voice was clear, and he
should be quite young.
Yi?
Ling Han opened his eyes and removed his straw hat. The Four Suns Pill wasn't an alchemical pill that could help one comprehend Dao. Instead, it was used to nurture one's body.
In this City of Death, there was actually someone who wanted to buy a Four Suns Pill?
Standing in front of his stall was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties. He had a lanky figure, and was also extremely handsome. His black hair draped over his shoulders, and his hair glowed faintly, making him appear outstanding.
"No." Ling Han shook his head.
The young man instantly looked disappointed. He sighed, turned and left.
"However, I can concoct alchemical pills," Ling Han continued.
Shua, that young man immediately turned around, his face filled with delight, "Really?"
"M-hm." Ling Han nodded in understanding. The Four Suns Pill was only a five-star alchemical pill, so refining it could not be too easy for him.
"All right, then I'll have to trouble you to help me concoct it," the young man said.
"Pay the deposit first. I will go and prepare the ingredients," Ling Han said. "In three days' time, come here to collect the medicine."
The young man hesitated slightly. What if Ling Han accepted the deposit and ran off? But in
an instant, he took out a Source Dao Stone and threw it over, "My name is Yuan Bing. If you dare to deceive me, humph!"
This Source Dao Stone was only the size of a finger. Ling Han put it away, and said with a
smile, "Don't worry."
He could actually refine it on the spot, but there was no need for him to be so high-profile,
right?
"That had better be the case." Yuan Bing nodded, "If you can concoct the Fourth Refinement, then I will befriend you."
"Sure," Ling Han said casually. He was completely unconcerned. With his natural talent and abilities, did he still need to rely on the help of others?
Yuan Bing appeared slightly surprised. He had already announced his name, so why was Ling
Han not the slightest bit surprised?
Could it be that he didn't know who he was?
He pondered for a moment, then turned around and left.
He would just wait three days.
