Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Two and a half years later, I returned to Ningyuanfang Duibaoge.

Jiang Yun was already at the late Foundation Establishment stage, the same level as Qiu Jiantian, an inner disciple of the Zixiao Sect.

"It seems you have already broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage." Qiu Jiantian couldn't help but sigh when he saw Jiang Yun again.

"If refining ten drops of Foundation Establishment Elixir doesn't improve one's cultivation, one might as well just kill oneself."

As Jiang Yun spoke, she took out her identity token and placed it on the counter.

The meaning is clear: this time, I need to exchange for some items at the Treasure Pavilion.

"It's good to be rich." Qiu Jiantian picked up the token and asked, "What treasure do you want to exchange for this time?"

"A second-grade superior pill formula," Jiang Yun replied.

"Tsk tsk, is he about to break through to become a second-tier high-grade alchemist?" Qiu Jiantian asked in admiration.

"Exactly."

Jiang Yun nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

In Ningyuanfang, his status as a mid-grade second-level alchemist was common knowledge.

Now that he's exchanging for a second-tier superior pill formula, it's easy to guess that Qiu Jiantian is aiming to become a second-tier superior pill master.

"What kind of pill formula do you want to exchange?" Qiu Jiantian asked.

"We still need to consider this," Jiang Yun said. "What second-tier high-grade pill formulas does the Treasure Exchange Pavilion have? May I take a look?"

"Of course." Qiu Jiantian stroked his beard and nodded, then turned and took a jade slip from the inner room.

This jade slip contains all the second-tier high-grade pill recipes that can be exchanged in the Treasure Exchange Pavilion.

However, each prescription only has a brief introduction and the name of the pill.

Jiang Yun took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense, quickly learning what pill formulas were available in the Treasure Pavilion.

There are more than twenty kinds of second-tier pill formulas, each of which can be exchanged for 2,000 contribution points.

There's something for everyone, from mana enhancement and mana recovery to breaking through bottlenecks.

"The Thousand Illusions Breaking Pill: After taking this pill, one can see through most second-tier high-grade illusion arrays and illusions."

"Yin Yang Cloud Rain Pill, a dual cultivation pill. Both the man and woman should take half a pill each, and the effect is significant when combined with dual cultivation techniques."

"The Blood Soul Burning Pill burns the soul to gain a temporary surge in strength, but after taking it, one's cultivation level drops drastically. This kind of pill is only needed in desperate situations."

……

Jiang Yun selected from more than twenty different prescriptions one by one.

After careful consideration, he finally chose the Yin-Yang Cloud and Rain Pill, as well as another pill that would help him gain insights into cultivation.

"Dual cultivation pills like the Yin-Yang Cloud and Rain Pill will definitely be very popular in the cultivation world of Qiankun."

"Another type of elixir that brings enlightenment through spiritual practice is called the Mind-Clearing and Enlightening Elixir. Taking this elixir will clear your mind and spirit."

"Whether it's comprehending cultivation techniques, deducing formations, refining elixirs, or practicing spells, speed and efficiency will be improved."

These two pill formulas, plus the Myriad Spirit Pill formula in Jiang Yun's possession.

They have just gathered three kinds of second-tier high-grade pills.

If Jiang Yun can successfully refine these three types of pills with a success rate of over 70%, he will be promoted to a second-tier high-grade alchemist.

"Manager Qiu, I'd like to exchange for Yin-Yang Cloud and Rain Pills and Clear Mind and Enlightenment Pills."

After Jiang Yun finished making his selections, he returned the jade slip containing the complete formulas to Qiu Jiantian.

"Yin-Yang Cloud and Rain Pill? I didn't expect you to have a taste for this, fellow Daoist." Qiu Jiantian smiled faintly upon hearing this, then turned and went to the inner room to fetch the pill formula for Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun did not explain that this dual cultivation pill might actually come in handy in the future.

A moment later, Qiu Jiantian took the two second-grade high-quality pill formula jade slips and placed them on the counter. Then he deducted four thousand contribution points from Jiang Yun's identity token.

Jiang Yun confirmed that the pill formula jade slip was correct before putting it into his storage bag.

"Do you need to exchange for any other treasures?" Qiu Jiantian asked hurriedly after deducting the contribution points.

"No need."

Jiang Yun took back his identity token and glanced at it.

Now the contribution points are less than 30,000.

Zhou Yun, Contribution Points: 28423

After retrieving his identity jade token, Jiang Yun bid farewell and left the Duibao Pavilion.

As he passed by the Mission Hall, he glanced at its Foundation Building Hall.

Since he established his foundation, he has never accepted a mission and has never entered the Foundation Establishment Hall of the Mission Hall.

At this moment, Foundation Establishment cultivators were coming and going in an endless stream in front of the Foundation Establishment Hall.

They were all busy taking on tasks to earn contribution points.

Not only in the Foundation Building Hall of Ningyuan Ward, but also in the Foundation Building Halls of the Mission Halls in the 49 wards of Maple Leaf City, this scene is almost a daily occurrence.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun had sold three kinds of pill formulas back then, earning a lot of contribution points.

That's why he doesn't need to enter the Foundation Building Hall to accept the mission.

"There are still nearly 30,000 contribution points, enough to support us for many years."

"Right now, we should hurry up and gather medicinal herbs to try and break through to the second-tier high-grade alchemist level."

Jiang Yun shook his head inwardly, withdrew his gaze, and returned to his cave.

After returning to his cave, Jiang Yun began to take stock of all his belongings.

For the past thirty-two years, the clan has distributed one mid-grade spirit stone each year, which has undoubtedly been completely used up for cultivation.

However, over the course of thirty-two years, the amount of low-grade spirit stones accumulated was quite substantial.

After all, Jiang Yun himself is an alchemist, so he doesn't need to buy magic weapons and many pills and treasures to go on adventures outside the city.

There's no need to venture out of the city, which results in lower expenses.

He picked up a storage bag and began to count the items.

This storage bag contained all the salary he had accumulated over the years.

"Since I became a second-tier mid-grade alchemist, after deducting all costs, Zhou's Alchemy Shop has a stable annual income of 6,500 spirit stones."

"I take 30% as my salary, which is about 2000 shi per year."

"Over these thirty-two years, my total salary amounted to 64000 yuan stones."

Jiang Yun scanned the salary with his divine sense and quickly counted it.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up another storage bag.

The spirit stones in this storage bag are not the income shown on the surface; they are mostly the various perks earned by serving as the family's elder.

After a preliminary investigation, it was found that there were a total of 31000 Yuan Stones, which was almost half of his salary.

"Oh, right, there's also the income from selling Qi-boosting pills."

"At that time, the pill formulas were not yet widely available; only Zhou's Pill Shop was selling the Qi-Boosting Pills."

"In just six months, the Qi-Boosting Pill earned more than 35000 stones, and I got 30%, which is 10500 yuan stones."

Jiang Yun touched the storage bag at his waist.

He carried this storage bag with him at all times. Inside were his identity token, the spirit stones he had earned from selling Qi-boosting pills, and some second-tier mid-grade pills.

"These three items together amount to 105,500 yuan stones."

"I used my own spirit stones to purchase all the medicinal materials for my attempt to become a mid-grade second-tier alchemist, so all the pills I successfully refined are still in my storage bag."

Jiang Yun took out a storage bag from his waist, opened it, and took out many jade bottles from it.

"The Qi Condensation Pill, the Purple Gold Barrier-Breaking Pill, and the Youth Preservation Pill cost me over 50,000 spirit stones when I was trying to break through to the second-tier mid-grade alchemist level."

"If we sell all these successfully refined pills now, they'll be worth about 60,000 spirit stones, which will barely break even."

After taking stock of all his belongings, Jiang Yun lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"The pill is worth 60,000 yuan stones. Adding the previous 105,500 yuan stones, the total is 165,500 yuan stones."
