Chapter 374.1 (1/2)

Seven Crystals

Ning Fan led a solitary life once again in the abode he created beneath the surface of the star he descended upon.

A single year in the outside world was equivalent to 128 years in this void space. Ning Fan had told Lu Qing that he was going to enter the Lost World Tower for one year. That is to say, he would stay up to 128 years after his intrusion to the seventh floor.

No one was able to bring other people to the Lost World Tower. Thus, he would be able to have a peace of mind as there wouldn’t be any external noises to disturb him.

I have 5884 units of magic power, 71440 units of demon power and 83470 traces of devil qi. My magic power is the weakest of them all. I must improve it to catch up with my other powers.

Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out a great number of Profound Primordial Pills.

The Profound Primordial Pill was a Peak Grade Fourth Revolution pill which was refined to aid in raising one’s magic power. These pills were excellent for Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Each of these pills was able to increase their magic power by 1 unit when consumed.

Ning Fan had gathered a total of 1290 pellets of Profound Primordial Pills.

Since the value of a single Profound Primordial Pill was around one hundred thousand immortal jade, 1290 pellets would cost over one hundred million immortal jade. However, these pills which had such a sizable value in total all disappeared into his gut within ten days.

After assimilating all the pills, his magic power grew to 6940 units.

Mm… It’s 234 units less than what I had expected.

Well, it certainly was because the greater the number of pills one consumed, the weaker the effect of these pills.

Even so, it did not matter much to Ning Fan. During his trip in the Star Sea, he had plundered countless spiritual medicines and ingredients. Besides, he had also taken away some resources from Bei Xiaoman’s possessions. With the amount of ingredients he had on hand which were mostly one thousand years old and above, it was more than enough for him to concoct a few more thousands of pellets of Profound Primordial Pill.

Within his abode, he extended his fingers and clawed at the air. His body then glowed in green. A massive rain cauldron then materialized in front of him. It was a cauldron formed using his divine intent of rain.

His pill refinement techniques were already at the Mid Grade Fifth Revolution. The flames that he conjured were the combination of nine types of Heavenly Cold Qi and Earth Flames.

Every time he opened the lid of his cauldron, it would only take him three days to finish concocting a batch of Profound Primordial Pills and each batch contained ten pellets!

One has to know that these pellets were Peak Grade Fourth Revolution pills. Even a Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master wouldn’t dare to guarantee one hundred percent success every time they concoct these pills. Moreover, they could at most concoct one pellet at a time.

Ning Fan was equipped with excellent knowledge in the Dao of Alchemy, impressive spirit sense and outstanding ability in controlling flames. Even his luck was purple, the strongest color one could ever have.

Combining his capabilities and his luck, he would really need to knock himself to death using tofu if he still fails in concocting Profound Primordial Pills.

In the first month, he managed to produce one hundred pellets. After a year, he had concocted one thousand and two hundred pellets. As time flew by, he was able to produce thirteen to fourteen pills at a time.

Six years later, he finished concocting 8000 pellets of Profound Primordial Pill and decided not to concoct this type of pill anymore.

With such a large number of pills, it would be enough to nurture a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator in the short term.

Even a Peak Grade Fourth Revolution Pill Master would never have enough wealth and resources to refine 8000 pills of such grade.

Besides, even if one has enough wealth and resources, an ordinary Fourth Revolution Pill Master would only be able to concoct one pellet in half a month and it was not even guaranteed whether the pellets would be complete or defective. As such, it would take them at least 300 years to produce 8000 pellets of Profound Primordial Pill without rest.

Six years of his hard work was equivalent to three hundred years of cultivation for ordinary pill masters. Even so, Ning Fan realized that his pill refinement techniques had improved but the improvement was not that obvious.

His Mid Grade Fifth Revolution medicine soul was already dark green in the first place. Currently, however, the dark color grew even more concentrated at nearly one percent of his medicine soul.

If the rest of his medicine soul glows black, his pill refinement techniques could then break through to the High Grade Fifth Revolution.

Let’s set aside the matter about his pill refinement techniques for the moment. After producing the 8000 pellets of Profound Primordial Pill, Ning Fan had no choice but continue his life of chewing ‘beans’. That kind of life lasted for four months.

Doubtlessly, Ning Fan’s resistance towards Profound Primordial Pills grew stronger and stronger.

At first, he was still able to raise 650 units of magic power after consuming one thousand pellets of the pills.

Then, he was only able to increase 520 units of magic power after consuming the next one thousand pellets.

The following one thousand pellets only managed to increase his magic power by 450 units of magic power.

420 units, 330 units, 290 units, 240 units.

The final one thousand pellets of Profound Primordial Pill could only improve his magic power by 50 units because his resistance to the Profound Primordial Pills became so strong that they hardly have any effect on him anymore!

Ning Fan smiled helplessly. Apparently, he was the first individual in the Rain World to consume Profound Primordial Pills to the point where they no longer had any effect.

The eight thousand pellets of Profound Primordial Pills gave him an extra 2950 units of magic power.

Currently, the total amount of magic power he had was 9890.

After spending four months munching on pills, his magic power had also become illusory. He did not consume any more pills but took out countless types of spiritual flames to devour and assimilate.

A minority of these spiritual flames were presents from cultivators of the External Endless Sea while most of them were looted from Revered Flame.

There were nearly one thousand types of Third Grade spiritual flames, two hundred types of Fourth Grade spiritual flames and three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames.
