Chapter 15 True Sun Flame Technique
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
On this day, Shangguan Yi delved into the level 3 low-grade cultivation technique excitedly. Inside the contents, it explained the effective way to refine the world essence to essence in the Sixth Sense Realm.
What True Sun Flame represented was condensing the world essence into a small sun and then refining it. This method would greatly improve the speed of the refining process.
The explanation was easy and simple to understand. Shangguan Yi immediately started practicing. Consuming a high-grade pill, he began absorbing the world essence and followed the steps to condense the small sun. The small sun shape began to form, yet it melted and disintegrated quickly. Shangguan Yi tried again, but still failed.
After two hours of trying, he finally succeeded, but it still lacked the heat. Shangguan Yi didn't give up. Calming his mind, he pondered about his mistake, and then started again.
Time passed quickly, and another month went by. Shangguan Yi finally grasped the initial state of the level 3 True Sun Flame technique. His cultivation progressed faster than before. He was now at 30% progress in total.
In this one month, not only had he grasped the initial state of his cultivation technique, but he also found out from the system that he could use the essence stones or flame crystals to exchange with the system for the progression of the cultivation technique.
Shangguan Yi looked into the conditions:
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
900,000 essence stones needed.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
90,000 low-grade flame crystals needed.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
9,000 mid-grade flame crystals needed.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
90 high-grade flame crystals needed.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
9 supreme-grade flame crystals needed.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
5 level 3 low-grade flame crystals needed.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
2 level 3 mid-grade flame crystals needed.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 10%/100%)
To cultivate to perfection,
1 level 3 high-grade flame crystal needed.
Each condition can be mixed.
With a glance, Shangguan Yi saw the impossibility of fulfilling the conditions for the flame crystals. Fortunately, they could be mixed, which meant he could use the essence stones as the main supplies and low-grade flame crystals to slowly fulfill the conditions. At the same time, he would also try to comprehend it himself when he was free.
"Now that I have around 20,000 essence stones with me, as well as some flame crystals, let me see what the results are," Shangguan Yi said as he threw them into the system space.
After a while, he checked the True Sun Flame cultivation technique again.
True Sun Flame technique (Comprehension: 13%/100%)
Shangguan Yi shook his head slightly, "Resources, I need resources."
Shangguan Yi didn't linger there. He consumed a high-grade pill and began cultivating. Even though his proficiency in the cultivation was only 13%, this was faster than the previous version. After all, this was a technique for Core Formation Cultivators. Being able to successfully cultivate it as a Foundation Establishment cultivator was blessing enough.
In this manner, another month had passed. Shangguan Yi spent half his time on cultivation and half on refining pills. This month, he progressed by 5%, reaching a total of 35%.
What's worth mentioning is that he finished refining 50 batches of Cleansing Water Pills, resulting in him making 75,000 essence stones for this month.
One must know that each batch contained 10 pills, and each single Cleansing Water Pill was sold at 500 essence stones. Thus, it was normal for him to get 75,000 essence stones with 50 batches of pills, or in other words, 500 Cleansing Water Pills. Of course, the requirements for refining this pill were very difficult; otherwise, many would have refined it long ago.
Shangguan Yi gave out 50 batches in a month, by claiming that he had refined them long ago and released them all at once.
After a month of cultivation, his progress in comprehension of his technique increased to 15% without the help of the system.
The transaction for the flame techniques and flame crystals was still ongoing, and it was even hotter on the flame crystals side, as he specifically stated that he wanted them urgently.
The situation progressed smoother than he expected.
Right now, if he provided all his essence stones and flame crystals to the system, he was confident he could increase the comprehension of his technique by 10%.
Upon learning this, Shangguan Yi didn't hesitate as he threw all the essence stones and flame crystals into the system space. The result was not much different from his expectations, as the comprehension increased to 26%/100%.
Shangguan Yi started cultivating on the spot.
A month later, he had to stop his cultivation due to his lack of resources. However, this month of solely cultivating resulted in a 10% progress, bringing him closer to the 3rd level.
Shangguan Yi pondered for a while before starting his three-month plan. In the first month, he refined the high-grade essence pills and the Cleansing Water Pills. This resulted in him having 8 batches of high-grade essence pills and another 50 batches of Cleansing Water Pills.
High-grade pills were harder to refine and more expensive than the mid-grade pills. It was natural for him to only have 8 batches, which was fewer than the Cleansing Water Pills.
In the second month, he spent his time solely on refining the Cleansing Water Pills. This resulted in him getting 110 batches of Cleansing Water Pills. Of course, he didn't plan to handle all of them in one go.
For other pill refiners, the Cleansing Water Pills were harder to refine than the essence pills. The success rate was also lower, at about 30-40%, and the time required was longer. Even the pill quality was often no more than 60%. It would be considered good enough for them to produce ten batches in a month.
And Shangguan Yi had just planned to give out 15 batches each month. This would guarantee his time in seclusion for one year.
He could give out ten batches each month, but he was lacking in essence stones, so there was no problem with giving out more.
As his cultivation progressed, the burden of refining pills would also lessen because he would be able to refine more kinds of rare pills. Everything still depended on cultivation.
In the third month, he refined the high-grade essence pills for himself, which resulted in him having 17 batches of essence pills. He also spent a little time on mid-grade and low-grade essence pills, resulting in 50 batches of each.
The low and mid-grade pills were important for the exchange for flame crystals. Shangguan Yi couldn't abandon this method of collecting them.
There were also the flame techniques. He had laid the foundation for another cultivation technique, so the more flame techniques he possessed, the better.
He didn't hurry to refine more low and mid-grade pills, as he could do so during his cultivation. He would spare a little time on them, as refining them was not a big matter to him anymore.
After releasing the Cleansing Water Pills, the reputation of Azure Cloud Pavilion was rising again, and the name of Shangguan Yi went public once more. Before this, he might have been the youngest level 2 pill refiner in Xi'An, but not many experts took him seriously. However, now he was publicly recognized by them, as his Cleansing Water Pill was able to cleanse 80% of impurities. Moreover, the quantity of pills he could produce each month was substantial. Previously, the pill appeared once a month, but now it could appear every day. This excited many elders from mid-grade families and high-grade families.
Shangguan Yi was unaware of the arrangements made by Azure Cloud Pavilion to sell the pills or the rumors circulating outside.
After three months of accumulation, he had around 50,000 essence stones. This was due to him giving out only 15 batches of Cleansing Water Pills each month.
He also had a few hundred flame crystals. However, there were no high-grade ones among them.
Of course, all of them were thrown into the system space a long time ago. This made his comprehension reach 40% now, including his own studying. He might have had common talent in cultivation, but as a person who once lived on Earth, he had seen many things on the internet. This increased his understanding of many things deeply and developed his critical thinking. And critical thinking was very useful for studying every technique in the world.
In fact, Shangguan Yi was confident that he could completely comprehend his technique in 10 years. However, that process did not satisfy him. So, when he had access to the system, why wouldn't he use it?
Shangguan Yi started his cultivation, planning not to leave seclusion until he had a breakthrough.
