The immortal sect had inherited many systems from the previous civilization on Planet Earth. For example, any pills that were put on the market would have to be packaged and labeled with all the ingredients of the pills.
In other words, for every type of pill sold, the recipe had to be listed in the appendix.
However, if one wanted to rely on the explanation in the appendix to refine the finished product, it was basically a fantasy.
The combination of modern medicine refining techniques and pill refining techniques would take more than three days and nights to explain. Hence, although the pill recipes were all public knowledge, pill refining was still a monopolized industry.
However, every time a university or a Dao College came up with a new type of pill, they would need to spend a huge amount of resources. Thus, they had to earn money. Otherwise, no one would be willing to invest in the pharmaceutical industry just by relying on the subsidies from the sect.
The Purple Fire Pills of the Crimson Afterglow College were pills that were specially used to break through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.
In particular, when advancing from Qi Refinement Level-4 to Qi Refinement Level-5, the success rate after consuming the Purple Fire Pill would be the highest at around 60 to 70 percent. Meanwhile, when advancing from Qi Refinement Level-5 to Qi Refinement Level-6, the success rate would be more than halved. There would only be a 20 to 30 percent chance of success.
Furthermore, if a cultivator with a water Spiritual Root consumed it, the effect would be further halved. Meanwhile, if a cultivator with a wood or fire Spiritual Root consumed it, the success rate would be increased by another 10%.
However, even so, the Purple Fire Pill was the most popular among pills of the same level.
Because of its mild medicinal properties, the Crimson Afterglow College had perfected the refining process of the Purple Fire Pill for hundreds of years to the point of perfection.
After taking the pill, one would only need to nourish their body with the Qi Nurturing Spell, which was issued to the masses by the immortal sect, for half a month and the side effects of the forced breakthrough would be resolved.
Chen Mobai was very lucky.
This was because the Purple Fire Pill was made using the “Purple Sunflower” that was unique to Danxia City. It contained a trace of Yang fire and purple qi. If it was dissolved using the temperature of water spiritual energy, it would yield twice the result with half the effort.
Meanwhile, the water mansion was built on top of a middle-grade Rank-2 water-type spiritual vein. Water spiritual energy was the most concentrated here.
Two days later.
Chen Mobai opened his eyes in surprise.
He could feel that his body was at his disposal and there was no longer any obstruction to his spiritual power. He was sure that his realm at Qi Refinement Level-5 had been completely stabilized.
It took even less time than he had expected. He could only say that he had underestimated the spiritual energy from the middle-grade Rank-2 water vein.
However, he couldn’t be blamed for this. After all, he was from an ordinary family and had never cultivated in a spiritual land like the water mansion.
He took out the box of glass beads that he had bought previously.
One bead, two beads, three beads… When the fifth bead emitted a colorful glow and slowly flew out of his palm, Chen Mobai smiled happily.
Now, he might really be able to reach Qi Refinement Level-6 before the college entrance examination.
He got up and stretched.
Then, Chen Mobai started to size up the water mansion again.
As usual, nothing had changed.
In the past two days, he had consulted Old Man Ding again, using the excuse that his private teacher had seen his rapid improvement. Thus, his teacher increased the difficulty of his homework and created this big problem of complex restrictions.
Old Man Ding thought that it was because he had been of great use to Chen Mobai’s learning, so he couldn’t help but feel comforted. After asking Chen Mobai in detail about the characteristics of the compound restriction, he combined it with his own teaching experience and gave Chen Mobai two more ways to break the restriction.
The first method was similar to what Chen Mobai had thought. He would use a powerful restriction-breaking talisman to hit the weakest point of the restriction and break it with force.
The second method was to break the complex restriction with a few tricks. Although the complex formation was powerful, it was a combination of multiple spells that were interlocked and extremely precise. As long as one of the spells was broken, the rest of the spells would disappear and jam even if they weren’t broken.
If the person who had set up the restriction was of an average standard, the restriction could even be destroyed by one of the Dharma spells. The remaining spells would conflict with each other and automatically disintegrate.
Old Man Ding was a proud man and had given Chen Mobai a subsequent solution.
He would need to use a forbidden Dharma artifact to isolate the spiritual energy supply of the underwater spiritual energy. After the compound restriction was exposed, he would use the corresponding method to break it.
However, Chen Mobai was poor and the only Dharma artifact he had was the child’s version of the Demon Vanquishing Sword that he had hung in his room. Because he had cast the Light Spell on it, it could barely be considered an inferior-grade Rank-1 ornamental Dharma artifact.
He went to the online market of the immortal sect and took a look. He realized that the cheapest Dharma artifact that met the requirements would cost 500 Karma Points.
Thus, he could only switch to the first method of breaking the restriction.
Chen Mobai took out three talismans with green arrows engraved on them from his pocket. He looked pained.
This was a middle-grade Rank-1 “Green Arrow Talisman” that was worth 35 Karma Points each.
After consulting with Old Man Ding for two days, Chen Mobai knew that it was best to use wood-attribute Dharma spells or talismans to break the unfamiliar water-attribute restriction.
Using fire against water was naturally the most effective.
However, once the power of the water attribute restriction was far beyond what he had estimated, then the violent reaction of the water and fire spiritual forces would affect the attacker. If he wasn’t careful, he would die on the spot.
On the other hand, wood also countered water. The stimulation of water attribute spiritual power was not as intense as fire attribute spiritual power. Even if the power of the restriction was extraordinary, the aftermath would not be too intense.
The power of this “Green Arrow Talisman” was not much different from the “Water Sword Talisman” that Chen Mobai had taken a fancy to and placed in his shopping cart.
After the “Water Sword Talisman” was used, it would condense into a transparent flowing water sword. It could be gathered and dispersed at will, and it could flow at will for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, after the “Green Arrow Talisman” was used, it would condense into a number of long green arrows based on the caster’s cultivation level. At most, it could release six arrows in one go.
Chen Mobai was at Qi Refinement Level-5. After using the talisman, there would be five long arrows.
Although it was a bit of a waste, there was no other way. This was the most suitable talisman to break the seal.
In order to achieve this, Chen Mobai had not only used up all of his savings, but he had also taken the time to sell all the blank talismans that he had saved up during his spare time in school. Only then did he barely manage to gather enough Karma Points to buy these three Green Arrow Talismans.
“If there’s nothing of value inside after breaking the restriction, I’ll be at a great loss.”
Chen Mobai muttered to himself as he gathered the spiritual energy in his body. He even took out his “Wooden Armor Talisman” and infused it with some spiritual energy to activate it, in case something unexpected happened during the breaking of the restriction and he got hit by the aftermath.
Crash!
At this point, the sound of running water could be heard.
As Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief, he saw an opening in the sphere-shaped light shield that covered the entire water mansion. Then, two figures appeared.
There was one young figure and one old figure.
The old man had grey hair and held a black flag, but his eyes were shining.
Meanwhile, the young man had an ordinary face and was wearing a brown robe. After he landed, he immediately kept a distance of two meters from the old man.
The two of them and Chen Mobai, who was standing in the front hall, formed a triangle and looked at one another.
