Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 835 Vitality Pill

Chen Yunhao obtained his first immortal artifact, the Flying Dragon Sword, in the Immortal Market.

The name is indeed a bit rustic, but there's no other way. He can only afford a first-grade flying sword artifact. Besides, second-grade ones are used by cultivators at the mid-stage of cultivation, and he can't unleash their power, so it's better not to use them.

Knowing that the spiritual materials he possessed could be exchanged for items, Chen Yunhao felt much more at ease, and he could now buy what he wanted.

By arming himself first, he can go further on the road ahead.

Chen Yunhao didn't want to go to the spiritual materials and medicine shops on this street for the time being, because with his current skills in weapon crafting or alchemy, he could only refine some spiritual treasures and elixirs from the lower realms, which were of little use.

What he needs now are magical artifacts and elixirs, which he himself cannot refine.

After passing the weapon-refining shop, the second shop is the pill-refining workshop, which sells elixirs, but of different grades.

With Chen Yunhao's current cultivation level, he can only buy first-grade immortal pills at most; he can't digest any higher-grade ones.

Besides, that would require even more immortal stones. Even if he had a lot of spiritual materials, it wouldn't be appropriate to take them out in large quantities; he always had to be on guard.

There was only one female cultivator in the shop, who was at the Tribulation Transcending stage and was quite beautiful.

"What kind of elixir does the senior need?"

"Do you have any first-grade elixir suitable for me to take, mainly to increase my cultivation level?"

Unlike weapon-refining shops, alchemy shops don't display good items. You either have to wait for the shop to recommend something or specify which item to buy.

"Senior, you can buy Vitality Pills, which are suitable for early-stage Earth Immortals, and the price is quite reasonable...!"

"May I have a look at it?"

"Senior, please look, this is the Vitality Pill!"

The female cultivator took out a small jade bottle from somewhere, poured out a white pill, and held it in her palm.

This was the first time Chen Yunhao had seen the elixir up close. From the outside, the elixir didn't seem to have anything special about it, except that it had some cloud patterns on it, which made it look extremely mysterious.

The Vitality Pill is slightly larger than a soybean, and one can clearly feel the extremely rich energy contained within it.

Generally, you can't see any ethereal energy emanating from elixirs; all the energy is locked inside the elixir, mainly for long-term preservation.

How much does it cost?

"Ten immortal stones and one Qi-Generating Pill...!"

Chen Yunhao silently calculated in his mind that this Yuanqi Pill was equivalent to the Qi-replenishing Pill he used when he was in the Qi Refining stage. Both were the most basic pills and the cheapest, but the demand was relatively large.

So don't be fooled by the low price; the final cost of the immortal stones can be quite substantial.

"Can I exchange it for spiritual herbs or fruits?"

It would be inappropriate for Chen Yunhao to offer spiritual materials to a shop that sells elixirs; that would be completely irrelevant.

"Of course!!"

"Look at these spiritual herbs and fruits, how many Qi-Boosting Pills can you exchange for?"

Chen Yunhao took out a small storage bag filled with spiritual herbs and fruits, including nearly a thousand spiritual herbs from the lower realm and a hundred spiritual fruits.

What he took out, though not the most top-tier spiritual herbs and fruits in the spirit world, was still an extremely rare treasure.

Unfortunately, the difference between the upper and lower realms is too great. Even the most exquisite treasures in the lower realm are of the lowest quality if they are not imbued with celestial energy.

"Senior, these spiritual herbs are only suitable for refining elixirs for those below the Tribulation Transcending stage, so their value is not very high. All of them together can be exchanged for fifty Yuan Qi Pills. I wonder if Senior would like to exchange for more?"

"Change it, add these back, and exchange them for one hundred Vitality Pills."

Chen Yunhao took out another storage bag, having prepared an extra set of the same items.

The female cultivator undergoing tribulation put away her two storage bags and handed two palm-sized jade bottles to Chen Yunhao.

Each jade bottle contains fifty Vitality Pills; no one would lie about the quantity.

Chen Yunhao didn't even look at it and put it away directly. He originally wanted to buy some other elixirs, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up for now and find another shop if he wanted to buy them.

Now he has both a magical artifact and elixirs. Although he only has one magical artifact and one hundred elixirs, it has at least solved the problem of going from nothing to something.

Especially the elixir; we don't know if the ancient mirror can replicate it, so we bought a hundred of them.

Of course, Chen Yunhao would not be satisfied with the status quo. He wanted more immortal artifacts and more kinds of immortal pills, but this had to be done step by step and could not be rushed.

Chen Yunhao's purpose in coming to the Immortal Market was clear: in addition to elixirs and magical artifacts, he also wanted to purchase a large number of ancient books to increase his understanding of the immortal realm.

We need to learn more about the northern border of Yunhuang, as we can't leave this region for now. The more we understand, the better we can integrate.

Chen Yunhao's next target was, of course, a shop specializing in classical texts, but he didn't rush in. Instead, he left the Fairy Market first.

He was naturally happy to have obtained the immortal artifacts and elixirs. This time, he strode towards another market in the city, which was for cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending stage.

He had already inquired at the restaurant yesterday and found out that resources could be exchanged for immortal stones in another market.

He doesn't have any immortal stones on hand right now, so he has to use his resources to exchange for them for everything, which is quite troublesome.

Fortunately, he only had low-level treasures in his possession; otherwise, he would have known better than to flaunt his wealth.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this other market is only for ordinary cultivators. After all, they are local cultivators who have the opportunity to come into contact with and even collect immortal stones.

Therefore, things like exchanging immortal stones are not uncommon in this market, since you can make some money from the price difference, right?

Of course, Chen Yunhao was unaware of the exchange difference, nor did he know whether he had paid more or less. In any case, he had separately approached three or four people, paid a huge amount of spiritual materials and herbs, and received three thousand immortal stones in return.

Holding the immortal stones he had obtained, Chen Yunhao returned to the Immortal Market and headed straight for the shops selling ancient texts and cultivation techniques.

Chen Yunhao first bought a map, the bigger the better, he wanted one that covered the entire northern border of Yunhuang, but unfortunately there wasn't one. Here he did buy a map that covered ten million miles, which was not bad.

Then, we selected some books about the immortal realm, as well as information about the immortal realm's unique spiritual herbs, materials, plants, fruits, mountains and rivers, sects and forces, dangerous and perilous lands—we bought them all.

These were the bulk of the items, but fortunately, they weren't worth much money. I bought more than twenty jade slips in one go, and it only cost me a little over a hundred immortal stones.

Then Chen Yunhao considered purchasing a magic technique. His physique was a chaotic primordial body, without any special attributes, so he could cultivate any kind of magic.

He inquired in the shop and was surprised to find that a first-tier immortal technique, and one that was so common, cost two thousand immortal stones.

Chen Yunhao hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it. Anyway, he wasn't leaving anytime soon, so he would look for it more carefully later.

Chen Yunhao also visited the remaining shops. Even if he couldn't afford to buy anything, it would still be useful to broaden his horizons and gain some knowledge.
