Urban Martial Arts System - Chapter 287: Opening Furnace
A hundred thousand Martial Intent Transformation cultivators seemed to be quite a few. But if it was in the entire country, it would be very rare.
Moreover, these practitioners were either in the secret realm or in the sects. There was still a small portion of them in the various large families. The vast majority were not casually displayed in front of the public, which was why the outside world appeared to have very rare Martial Intent Transformation cultivators.One had to know that there were practically no martial artists below the Martial Intent Transformation Realm in the secret realm base alone.
Moreover, the third stage of Martial Intent Transformation was stronger than the first stage. There was a huge difference between the number of first stage and third stage practitioners.
And a True Qi cultivator?
Zhou Ping didn’t know the exact data, but even in the base, only a small number of true qi experts were present. Zhou Ping had seen less than ten true qi experts so far! Of course, there were also reasons why most True Qi Realm experts couldn’t enter seclusion, but there were definitely not many True Qi Realm experts.
However, this Barrier Breaking Pill could allow a martial artist to break through to the true qi realm! And it was a breakthrough without any side effects!
“Good stuff!”
Zhou Ping didn’t even have the thought of continuing to stroll around. If it weren’t for the fact that he hadn’t been in for too short a time, Zhou Ping wouldn’t have wanted to draw attention to himself. At this moment, he wished he could return immediately.
Although Zhou Ping had broken through to the True Qi realm, he still had friends and family. Although Zhou Ping did not need it, his friends and relatives were able to use it.
After wandering around the black market aimlessly for a while, Zhou Ping impatiently walked out of the black market.
The black market’s exit and entrance were different, and there was more than one exit. However, Zhou Ping was not in the mood to pay attention to this anymore. As soon as he left the black market, Zhou Ping identified his direction and hurriedly returned to the center of the base.
After finding a hotel and opening a room, Zhou Ping sensed that it was safe and took out the pill formula again.
“Flaming Sun Flower, Illusory Butterfly Powder…”
Zhou Ping carefully memorized the materials and refining techniques required for the Barrier Breaking Pill. Only after a full hour did he let out a sigh of relief.
“I actually need so many materials. Looks like I’ll have to gather these materials in the secret realm first. Moreover, this Barrier Breaking Pill actually had a limit. A person could only consume it once in their life. After all, the Barrier Breaking Pill is said to be able to break through to the True Qi Realm.”
Zhou Ping looked at the pill recipe with admiration.
After taking down all the items on the pill recipe, Zhou Ping used a bit of strength in his hand and turned the pill recipe into powder.
After blowing away the powder and tidying up the room, Zhou Ping rushed to the center of the materials without hesitation.
Fortunately, he was able to buy all the ingredients needed for the recipe.After all, this wasn’t the ancient era. With the country taking action, all types of materials were stored in an extremely comprehensive manner. Even so, he spent tens of thousands of credits after buying all the materials. After all, some of the materials were quite rare. If they weren’t in the secret realm, he probably wouldn’t have enough credits to buy it.
“Sure enough, making money was like catching a ghost, and spending money was like flowing water.”
In the blink of an eye, he only had ten thousand credits left, but Zhou Ping sighed endlessly. He only bought one piece of all the ingredients. However, Zhou Ping also mixed in all the other materials to hide his eyes and ears. After all, Zhou Ping didn’t want to reveal his identity as an alchemist before his strength was sufficient.
With the ingredients, the next step was the pill furnace. Zhou Ping was experienced in this. After spending another few hundred points, he created his own high-tech alchemy furnace.
Carrying the alchemy furnace and materials, Zhou Ping went out into the wild to find a hidden cave and planned to start refining pills.
“The only problem right now is that there is only one pill refining material. After all, I had never refined a Barrier Breaking Pill before. If I failed, the 40,000 credits would be wasted.”
Only when he calmed down to refine pills did Zhou Ping discover a huge problem. However, there was no way he could retreat. After hesitating for a while, Zhou Ping turned his gaze to the system.
“System, can you help me grasp this pill formula?”
Zhou Ping tried to ask the system.
“Ding… It was detected that the host possessed a recipe for the Barrier Breaking Pill. If he spent five hundred promotion value, he would be able to master the method perfectly.” The system’s notification sounded.
“Mastery? A drizzle!”
Right now, Zhou Ping had a large amount of promotion value. The cost of raising the mastery by five hundred points really wasn’t in his eyes.
“Host, are you sure you want to spend five hundred percent to refine the Barrier Breaking Pill?” The system’s voice sounded again.
“Yes.” Zhou Ping nodded silently.
The next second, a stream of consciousness entered Zhou Ping’s mind. Soon after, Zhou Ping discovered that a person had appeared in his mind. He continuously demonstrated and explained the method of refining the Barrier Breaking Pill.
“Illusion?” Zhou Ping was stunned. He carefully observed the refining method of the Barrier Breaking Pill. After watching the illusion in his mind a few times, Zhou Ping suddenly realized that he had become that person. He then refined the Barrier Breaking Pill again and again.
By the time Zhou Ping woke up, the method of refining the Barrier Breaking Pill was already familiar to his chest. At this moment, Zhou Ping no longer had a trace of worry in his eyes. Instead, he was filled with confidence.
“The refining method of the Barrier Breaking Pill is indeed a little more complicated. But to me, there are no more secrets.”
With a wave, flames rose up abruptly. Zhou Ping looked at the pill furnace calmly and was about to start refining the Barrier Breaking Pill.
As he sensed the changes in the pill furnace, he grasped the timing bit by bit. He poured the ingredients into the pill furnace and used his true qi to catalyze it. Zhou Ping had refined pills for seven days.
During these seven days, Zhou Ping didn’t sleep or rest, constantly observing the changes in the pill furnace. If it weren’t for the fact that Zhou Ping had reached true qi realm and had a powerful body and an incomplete Soul Essence, Zhou Ping wouldn’t have been able to hold on for seven days without rest.
“No wonder this Barrier Breaking Pill could help people break through to the True Qi Realm without any side effects. Even if they needed too many and rare materials, they would still need to keep an eye on all sorts of changes during the refining process.Any one of them could lead to a failure in refining.
“If it weren’t for the system’s help and the fact that my Soul Essence was born earlier, my senses and Spirit would have greatly increased. Coupled with my tyrannical body’s support, I wouldn’t have been able to cultivate this Barrier Breaking Pill.”
The requirements for anything powerful would be harsh. If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhou Ping had come to refine this Barrier Breaking Pill, other people wouldn’t have been able to refine it even if they had a recipe unless they cultivated their Soul Essence.
How about an alchemist in the Martial Intent Transformation Realm? That was almost impossible.
Shaking his head, Zhou Ping threw away these thoughts.
“I’m about to open the furnace. I can’t make a mistake in the last step.”
After calming himself down, Zhou Ping followed the recorded method and began to open the pill furnace…
