Chapter 439 The Complete Guide to Golden Elixir

Upon hearing the fairy of Yaochi's tactful suggestion, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.

He possesses a miraculous little green bottle, and has no shortage of various medicinal herbs that are ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years old.

He originally thought that in this City of All Heavens, he could continue to obtain All Heavens Coins by relying on the little green bottle, just like before. That's why he dared to spend lavishly, spending seven-tenths of his assets at once.

But now, judging from what this fairy from Yaochi said, the high-grade medicinal herbs he has don't seem to be worth much here!
Han Li felt a surge of anxiety and quickly asked, "What do you mean by that, Fairy?"

The serene, white-clad fairy glanced at him, then waved her sleeve, snatching a cup of thick, amber-colored liquid from the counter beside her.

"...?"

Han Li looked puzzled, staring at the white-clad fairy with a puzzled expression.

She raised her fair, rounded chin and pointed at the brown liquid in the glass, saying, "This is called coffee. Any customer who spends more than 500 Heavenly Coins in a single transaction at the Scripture Pavilion can receive a free cup in the reading area."

"You've already spent seven hundred today, why don't you try something?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's heart sank, as if he had already understood what the other party meant.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked up the cup of coffee, bringing it to his nose for a gentle sniff.

In an instant, a rich, caramelized aroma filled his nostrils and rushed into his mind, instantly invigorating him as if he had slept for seven days and seven nights, his whole body brimming with inexhaustible energy.

"nice one!"

Han Li couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, then stared at the white-robed fairy and said:
"May I ask, fairy, how is this made?"

The fairy picked up the book again and said without looking up, "It's very simple. Take coffee beans that are over 600,000 years old, grind them into powder, and then brew them with boiling spiritual spring water."

Han Li: “…”

Do free gifts given after purchase require spirit objects that are over 600,000 years old?
Han Li lowered his head, looking at the coffee in his hand with a complicated expression.

Of course, if it's just a matter of years, no matter how long it's been, it's just an ordinary item.

Only by growing in an environment rich in spiritual energy can it be cultivated into a spiritual creature.

Judging from the effects of this coffee, it clearly meets this condition, which means that Zhutian City itself has extremely strong cultivation technology for spiritual herbs and medicines, and may even have mastered a method similar to the little green bottle!

Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

His most prized methods were like those of a naive child in front of the City of Heavens.

If high-grade medicinal herbs cannot be quickly converted into cash, then wouldn't he only be able to earn Heavenly Coins like everyone else?
After a moment of silence, Han Li sighed and asked, "May I ask, Fairy, can the Scripture Pavilion exchange for Heavenly Coins?"

The white-robed fairy raised her head and said, "Of course, all the official institutions in Zhutian City offer services for exchanging Zhutian Coins—how many do you plan to exchange?"

"..."

Han Li thought for a moment, then took out the mid-grade spirit stones he had previously seized and placed them on the table.

The white-robed fairy put down the book in her hand, and with a wave of her sleeve, streaks of blue light appeared out of thin air, sweeping across the pile of mid-grade spirit stones that resembled a small mountain.

"One hundred and thirty-two mid-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one thousand two hundred and thirty-six Heavenly Coins."

One thousand two hundred and thirty-six?

In theory, 132 mid-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 13,200 low-grade spirit stones.

Based on the exchange rate of ten low-grade spirit stones to one Heavenly Coin, shouldn't it be 1,320 coins?
Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly asked for the reason.

The white-robed fairy explained, "These are ten perfect low-grade spirit stones, which can be exchanged for one Heavenly Coin. Many of the mid-grade spirit stones you took out have already been used up."

"The spiritual energy is insufficient, so it is impossible to exchange them all."

That's it!

Han Li suddenly realized, and then sighed in his heart: "That's right, the currency of the City of All Heavens is not anchored by spirit stones themselves, but by the energy within them."

Well, so be it. If it has flaws, it has flaws.
It's over a thousand Heavenly Coins, which is more than the benefits for new players entering the city, so it's already pretty good!

Han Li comforted himself in his heart while choosing to exchange.

In an instant, the warm mid-grade spirit stone vanished without a trace, replaced by cold numbers on the city entry token.

Although he had already made his decision, Han Li still couldn't help but feel a little heartache when he actually saw this scene.

After all, in his world, a hundred or so mid-grade spirit stones were already the entire fortune of a Core Formation cultivator!
The Six-Tier Hall Core Formation Elder whom he killed in the Outer Sea had only seventy or eighty mid-grade spirit stones in his possession, aside from his magical artifacts and treasures.

Taking out 132 coins at once was already the limit of Han Li's available funds.

"No, we need to find a different way to earn Heavenly Coins. It's not a long-term solution to always exchange them with spirit stones."

"Spirit stones are, after all, a resource for cultivation. You may not need them on ordinary days, but you absolutely cannot be without them when you need them..."

As Han Li thought this, he bowed respectfully, took the three books, and turned to walk towards the reading area.

Since he still had a complimentary cup of coffee left, Han Li, adhering to the principle of not wasting it, decided to finish the coffee before leaving the library. So, he took the coffee to the quiet reading area and began to drink it while browsing the books he had just purchased.

Gazing at Han Li's quiet figure, the expressions of the group members in the invisible mirror space were somewhat strange.

"Ten perfect low-grade spirit stones can only be exchanged for one Heavenly Coin."

"Brother, isn't this exchange rate a bit too outrageous?"

"Is it dark?" Lin Yu glanced at Bai Zemin, who had asked the question, and shook his head. "I don't think so."

“I don’t think so either,” Xiao Yan said with a smile. “In my opinion, it’s because the benefits that Big Brother gives you are too high that you think the ratio is not reasonable.”

"But in fact, this proportion is already considered charity."

"The price levels in the dojo are truly unreasonable!"

This is indeed true.

In the training grounds open to group members, a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten points of energy.

Five low-grade spirit stones are enough to make a cup of spirit tea that is at least ten thousand years old.

In Zhutian City, the exchange rate between low-grade spirit stones and Zhutian coins is ten to one, and prices in the city are generally more than ten times higher than those in the group members' cities.

This back-and-forth difference is more than a thousand times, which can be described as a world of difference!

"Moreover, the City of Heavens has opened up the purchase of city entry tokens. Even if each person is limited to three tokens, the number of people entering the city will definitely increase in the future..."

Hearing Lin Yu's calm words, the group members understood his meaning.

Within a small group, the divisions don't need to be so clear, but if it grows larger in the future, rules and regulations must be in place, as it's impossible to maintain the initial benefits forever.

Lin Yu was willing to give the first batch of old friends a hand, allowing them to gain an advantage, but those who entered the city later would have to fight for themselves under the complete rules.

"Okay, it's almost time."

Lin Yu turned around, looked at the group members and chuckled, "The first batch of people who entered the city have already split up and started their own activities. You should all disperse into the Heavenly City and guide a few people as veteran players!"

The group members looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting and said with a grin, "I will obey the City Lord's orders!"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes at him, then with a flick of his sleeve, released streaks of silver light that engulfed everyone present.

……

……

About half an hour later, Han Li finished reading all three books, and the coffee in his hand was also finished.

He closed the cover, and with a gentle flick of his right hand, he put the two books on the left into his storage bag, leaving only the one on the right, "The Complete Book of Golden Elixir".

"Radiation Golden Core, Four Spirits Golden Core, Five Elements Golden Core..."

"There are so many different types of Golden Cores in the City of Heavens, and the methods of forming them are extremely ingenious, with power far exceeding that of ordinary Golden Cores!"

So now the question is, what kind of golden core should he form?
Han Li fell into deep thought, and after a moment he turned the page and stopped at a certain four-colored golden core.

"Four Spirits Golden Elixir!"

Han Li stared intently at the pages of the book.

In the "Complete Collection of Golden Elixir", the author divides the included golden elixirs into nine grades, and each grade is further divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

And this Four Spirits Golden Core is one of the few Grade One Golden Cores formed by cultivators with four spiritual roots!
"The Four Spirits Golden Elixir, also known as the Four Symbols Golden Elixir, takes its name from the four divine beasts and corresponds to the four directions of east, south, west, and north."

"Generally speaking, the best way to form this kind of golden core is to have the four spiritual roots of wood, metal, fire and water, which correspond to the four elements of wood in the east, metal in the west, fire in the south and water in the north. But I have the four spiritual roots of water, earth, fire and wood, which does not fully meet the requirements."

Fortunately, the four divine beasts do not have only one attribute.

"Water nourishes wood, so the Azure Dragon can be either water or wood."

"Earth produces metal, so the White Tiger can be either metal or earth..."

"If we follow the order of Azure Dragon belonging to wood, White Tiger belonging to earth, Vermilion Bird belonging to fire, and Black Tortoise belonging to water, even I have a chance to condense the Four Symbols Golden Elixir."

"At most, in terms of power, it is slightly inferior to wood, metal, fire and water, and cannot reach the level of a first-grade superior."

"Even so, it's enough for me, with my pseudo-spiritual root!"

Han Li pondered for a moment and quickly made up his mind.

He had already suffered greatly from the cultivation of pseudo-spiritual roots during the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. Since four spiritual roots could also form a high-grade golden core, why didn't he strive in that direction?
No sooner said than done!

Han Li immediately set off, intending to first visit the Treasure Pavilion to collect auxiliary materials for forming the Four Spirits Golden Pill.
