Chapter 383: Chapter 259: It’s Normal for a Man to Have Three Wives and Four Concubines; Gifting a Golden Core Maid_2
“Well, there are three reasons for that.”
“The first reason is the drastic change in the world, which led to the loss of many ancient spiritual medicines.”
“Even if you have some ancient pill formulas, without the main ingredient, they cannot be made.”
“For example, some main ingredients of the Nascent Soul pill formulas are thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, or even spiritual medicine several thousands of years old. These medicines have been wantonly harvested and destructively mined by ancient cultivators, and have now been completely extinct.”
“Even if we wanted to recreate them now, it’s nearly impossible.”
“The second reason is that every Nascent Soul force is too fond of the knowledge they possess. They don’t want to share their Nascent Soul pill formulas and learn from each other.”
“Once a war occurs and many Nascent Soul sects are destroyed, the pill formulas they mastered are also permanently lost. From that point onward, no one can obtain the Nascent Soul pill formulas.”
“As time goes by, truly remaining Nascent Soul pill formulas in the world are so few that they can be counted on one’s fingers.”
Master Peach Blossom said solemnly.
“What’s the third reason?”
Zhou Sui continued to inquire.
“The third reason is even simpler: the scarcity of fourth-stage pill masters.”
“Even within Nascent Soul level forces, there are very few fourth-stage pill masters.”
“Without the fourth-stage pill master, it is almost impossible to refine fourth-stage pills.”
“In effect, there’s a pathetic scarcity of pills suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators.”
Master Peach Blossom shrugged and stated the third reason.
“Are fourth-stage pill masters really that scarce?”
Zhou Sui asked curiously.
This also perplexed him greatly.
Since even in the Wuji Alliance, there were very few fourth-stage pill masters, just one or two at most.
However, there were plenty of third-stage pill masters.
“Of course, one prerequisite to becoming a fourth-stage pill master is to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.”
“The problem is, very few of those who are able to become Nascent Soul cultivators possess alchemy talents.”
“Of those with alchemy talents, 99% of them fail to advance to Nascent Soul.”
“So, to refine the fourth-stage pills, we Nascent Soul cultivators must all become well-rounded talents, learning how to refine pills and become a fourth-stage pill master.”
“But, obviously, the pill master profession requires giftedness, so it’s not guaranteed that you will be a pill master just because you are a Nascent Soul cultivator. You may possibly reach the third-stage realm, but that’s the limit.”
“The issue is, if they are only at the third-stage realm, then it is undoubtedly insufficient as they need fourth-stage pills rather than third-stage ones. So, learning the alchemy heritage would be a pure waste of time.”
“It’s just a thankless task.”
Master Peach Blossom made a wry face.
Apparently, she too had once painstakingly studied to create fourth-stage pills.
Regrettably, she doesn’t possess alchemy talent either.
Looking at the theory knowledge of those pills, she immediately feels like sleeping.
Even after studying for many years, she has only managed to reach the third-stage realm thus far.
As for when she could advance to the fourth-stage realm, that is completely unknown.
“Is it that hard to become a fourth-stage pill master?”
“Why is it necessary for only Nascent Soul cultivators to refine fourth-stage pills?”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin, deeply curious about this.
After all, he isn’t far from becoming a fourth-stage pill master, so naturally, he needs to understand the relevant knowledge in advance.
This way, he can become a fourth-stage pill master even faster.
“It’s simple, third-stage pills and fourth-stage pills are not the same at all.”
“If the pre-third-stage pills are Spirit Pills, then fourth-stage pills are Treasure Pills.”
“And the formation of a Treasure Pill requires passing through a tribulation.”
“Only when one has experienced this tribulation can one possibly refine a fourth-stage pill.”
“Because after passing through the tribulation, one can absorb the scattered Qi of Creation between heaven and earth to form a Treasure Pill.”
“So now you see just how precious a fourth-stage pill really is.”
“Each pill is extremely valuable, immeasurable by spirit stones.”
Master Peach Blossom spoke very seriously.
“Oh!”
Zhou Sui was greatly shaken inside. Although he knew that compared to third-stage pills, fourth-stage pills manifested a qualitative transformation, he didn’t expect the transformation to be this massive.
One is a Spirit Pill, and the other is a Treasure Pill – the two are completely different types of pills.
However, it is exactly such pills that can enhance the mana of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Can someone else help in bypassing the pill tribulation?”
Zhou Sui asked.
Cause if the pill tribulation can be bypassed with the help of others, like Nascent Soul cultivators, then one can naturally pass the pill tribulation effortlessly.
“No, the tribulation of a fourth-stage pill is not that simple to bypass.”
“If it was that easy, then fourth-stage pill masters would not be so scarce.”
“The pill tribulation is a kind of disaster, but at the same time, it is also an indispensable power for refining fourth-stage pills.”
“Because to refine a fourth-stage pill, one needs to trigger the pill tribulation, borrow the power of the pill tribulation, and refine the impurities of the fourth-stage spiritual medicine.”
“But this action is extremely precise.”
“A slight carelessness can lead to too much power and result in the destruction of the pill, undoing all previous efforts.”
“This needs to be controlled by a fourth-stage pill master who precisely manages each unit of power for success.”
“If that’s a Golden Core cultivator, they basically cannot trigger the pill tribulation or utilize its power.”
“Only Nascent Soul cultivators can possess this capability.”
“Therefore, unless one becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, they basically cannot refine fourth-stage pills.”
