YM778.TV Chapter 313 - 313: The Long Closed Door Retreat
“Peak Master, these spiritual grasses, medicines, and heavenly and earthly treasures, in total, would need two million six hundred and eighty thousand lower-grade spirit stones. To round it up, it’s two million six hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones.”
The one sitting at the Spirit Medicine Peak is also refining void, just an old man in the early stage of refining void.
His power should be much stronger than that of Sun Dong.
The Guiyuan Sect does not have many cultivators in the refining void stage, but there are quite a few, three peak masters being powerful figures in the late stages of refining void.
Six smaller peak masters might all be refining void, just in the early to mid-stages.
Two million six hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones.
Moreover, these are spirit stones of Guiyuan Sect. If converted to the Spirit Stones unit of the former TaiChu Holy Land, it needs to multiply by around twenty.
Goodness, these spiritual grasses and medicines are not commonly valuable.
However, it’s reasonable. In fact, without Master Butterfly Cloud, even if ten times more spirit stones were added, Guiyuan Sect might not sell.
“Qin Changqing, I can cover this for you first.”
Master Butterfly Cloud said.
Qin Changqing contemplated for a moment, and asked: “Peak Master, can a top-grade treasure compensate for these medicines?”
“Do you have a top-grade treasure?”
Cynthia’s eyes gleamed.
“No, but as long as you have the materials, I can customize one for you.” Qin Changqing said.
This was his intended plan, to trade top-grade treasures for medicinal herbs, since he really didn’t possess so many spirit stones.
Even if he had obtained the storage bag of the old man in the third level of refining void, there were only several hundred thousand spirit stones in it. As for the objects exploded from Sun Dong’s storage bag, many were shattered due to the counterattack of the Yuan Magnetic Barrier.
As the demand for spirit stones from Qin Changqing’s concubines and descendants grew exponentially, Changqing naturally had to keep some for himself.
“We have the materials. Qin Changqing, even if we supply the materials, a single top-grade treasure is worth more than these spiritual grasses and medicines. You can still select more.”
Master Butterfly Cloud was somewhat excited.
The most suitable for the Refining Void stage are high-grade and top-grade treasures.
Master Butterfly Cloud, of course, prefers top-grade treasures.
There are not many artifact refiners who can create top-grade treasures. Even the Guiyuan Sect, a First-Grade Immortal Sect, is not particularly proficient in the art of refining artifacts.
Normally, only the Holy Lands, after expending great energy to nurture top artifact refiners and alchemists, earn their title as Holy Lands.
Since a formidable refiner died within the Guiyuan Sect, there’s been no successor.
The current refiners can only create, at most, middle-grade treasures.
For high-grade or top-grade treasures, they need to go to other places and spend a hefty amount to hire proficient artifact refiners.
But extremely top-grade treasures are not easy to create. The required materials are often very complex and unique.
The refiners are not interested in spirit stones. What they want are rare elixirs or heavenly and earthly treasures that can extend their lifespan and enhance their cultivation levels.
This raises another issue: rare elixirs also require the help of formidable alchemists, whose required objects are invariably rare.
It’s a chain of complications, making things exceedingly difficult. The direct result is that Master Butterfly Cloud currently only owns one top-grade treasure and it’s not even a complete set.
However, at this moment, Qin Changqing claims he can create one. How can this not excite her?
“Okay, Peak Master, prepare the materials, I’ll return to the North Region. I’ll come to start refining in a year.”
Qin Changqing said.
“Alright!”
Master Butterfly Cloud isn’t worried that he won’t return.
So, Qin Changqing returns to the North Region once more. This time he returns, and cultivators coming from Central State had only just arrived sporadically.
Qin Changqing spends three continuous months refining elixirs in TaiChu Holy
Land.
After three months, at last, Qin Changqing emerges from the alchemy room of TaiChu Holy Land.
Firstly, he heads to the Cave Mansion of the Sect Leader.
Upon his entrance, Qin Changqing sees that the Sect leader is cultivating in the hall.
Aware of Qin Changqing’s presence, the sect leader opens his eyes.
She looked as if she had adjusted her state, preparing to isolate herself for a long time.
However, that night from a few months ago still brought a faintly noticeable blush to the sect leader’s face whenever she saw Qin Changqing.
“Master, these elixirs should be enough for you to break through to the Void
Refinement stage in one breath.”
Qin Changqing handed over a large number of pill bottles to the Sect Leader, and also took out some Heavenly and Earthly treasures and a large amount of Spirit Stones, all of which could be used directly.
These things were indeed enough for the Sect Leader to define Void.
One could not tell how long it would take for the Sect Leader to reach Void Refinement after building her Immortal Foundation.
An Immortal Spirit Root in a sacred place usually takes six to seven hundred years to reach Void Refinement.
The Sect Leader was now almost six hundred years old.
Qin Changqing himself was over three hundred years old.
However, she wasted some time earlier because her foundation was damaged at that time.
But it wasn’t a complete waste. During that time, the Sect Leader was building a better foundation, so it could also be regarded as a process of steady accumulation.
She stayed in the Deifying stage for several decades, reaching the Nascent Soul Fourth Level.
The elixirs prepared for her by Qin Changqing were extremely rare, many of which only Qin Changqing could refine.
In Qin Changqing’s view, with his help, she should be able to elevate to Void Refinement within two hundred years.
Two hundred years would be the maximum time.
If things go smoothly, she could reach it in just over a hundred years.
The Sect Leader did not refuse.
However, after Qin Changqing had finished placing everything down, she took out a storage bag and handed it to him.
“Qin Changqing, this is for you,” the Sect Leader said.
Qin Changqing did not accept.
He knew that the Sect Leader and her aunt felt that they owe Qin Changqing a lot.
So the aunt of the Sect Leader had taken out all her family’s resources.
The Sect Leader also planned to force it onto Qin Changqing just like he did, but then she paused.
Because Qin Changqing hugged her.
“Master, If you feel guilty, please advance to the Integration Period quickly and have a child with me. However, it cannot happen now…” Qin Changqing’s voice resounded.
The Sect Leader’s face flushed instantly.
Helplessness surfaced in her eyes. After that night, the Sect Leader had adjusted her mindset, preparing to isolate herself for over a hundred years.
As a woman from a large family, she paid great attention to her parent’s orders and the words of a matchmaker. She had never thought of having any physical intimacy with Qin Changqing before officially marrying him.
Now, although that night happened unexpectedly, she did not regret it. She decided not to have it happen again before marrying Qin Changqing officially.
But now, it seemed that Qin Changqing had other plans…
At last,
The next day, Qin Changqing left the Taichu Sacred Land refreshed.
Even though a year’s worth of time seemed utterly insufficient, Qin Changqing feared to influence the Sect Leader’s mood. Her primary task now is to promote her cultivation level.
Therefore, Qin Changqing restrained his desires and left Taichu Sacred land.
The Sect Leader, having adjusted her state, began a long period of isolation.
This time, her isolated training would last a while.
For a Deifying cultivator, this duration is not unusual, with some having isolated themselves for a thousand years in the past.
Following this, Qin Changqing spent some time at the Qin Mansion, Shuiyue Sect, and Linhai City.
He dedicated the following months to cultivation.
Being at the Nascent Soul Peak now, he needed to accumulate cultivation, breakthrough to Complete God Transformation, and then advance to Void
Refinement.
The results of this phase of cultivation will be harvested next year..
