Jian Chen was truly surprised this time. He knew the G.o.dking gra.s.s Bing Yuan spoke of was actually the Hundred Tribulations gra.s.s to the outsiders. It was just a different name for it.
He had been in contact with the people of the Hundred Saint City when he was in the Two World Mountains. He had learned from them that the Hundred Tribulations gra.s.s used to refine Hundred Tribulations G.o.dking pills were extremely precious, because the gra.s.s only grew in the Darkstar World. As a result, they would often have to spend quite a large sum in exchange for stalks of Hundred Tribulations gra.s.s from the Darkstar race.
He originally believed that even if the Darkstar race did produce the main ingredient to the pill, they could not produce too much of it. Only after hearing it from Bing Yuan did he learn just how worthless the Hundred Tribulations gra.s.s were in the eyes of the Darkstar race, despite being valued by all the prodigies.
The Darkstar race could produce several tens of thousand stalks of Hundred Tribulations gra.s.s every century. After all these years, the Darkstar race would have produced a truly unimaginable amount of Hundred Tribulations gra.s.s.
“Then just what is the difference between G.o.dking gra.s.ses of different qualities?” Jian Chen continued. Right now, he felt rather fortunate, fortunate that he was disguised as Kun Tian who had lost his memories. Otherwise, with how clueless he was with the common knowledge of the Darkstar race, it would be just too easy for him to be exposed.
Now that he was supposed to be an amnesiac, it provided a fantastic cover for his ignorance.
Bing Yuan pondered the question for a while, as if he was trying to find where to start.
“Hall master, let me explain instead.” Dou Wujin clasped his fist, “While we haven’t managed to pinpoint the exact differences between the different grades of G.o.dking gra.s.s, but we’re able to deduce a rough difference if we use the sacrificial G.o.dkings that the outsiders have nurtured with the G.o.dking gra.s.s as a reference.”
“We divide G.o.dking gra.s.s into a total of three grades, which are low grade, mid grade and high grade. You’ve already seen the effects of G.o.dking pills refined from low grade G.o.dking gra.s.s, hall master. They can elevate any cultivator to early G.o.dking within a short amount of time, but the downside is that they only possess the strength of early G.o.dkings without grasping the laws of G.o.dkings. Moreover, their lifespan will be limited to a century at most, which is why the outsiders called it the Hundred Tribulations G.o.dking pill!”
“As for mid grade G.o.dking gra.s.s, we’ve managed to deduce from many years of research that the result should be similar, but the person who ingests the Hundred Tribulations G.o.dking pill refined from mid grade G.o.dking gra.s.s should also possess the same level of comprehension. In other words, if you refine Hundred Tribulations G.o.dking pills with mid grade G.o.dking gra.s.s, not only will the ingestor possess a cultivation at early G.o.dking, they will have grasped the laws of early G.o.dkings too. Their lifespans will still be limited to a century.”
“As for the final high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s, our Primordial realm experts and emperor have personally forecasted that they should make up for all the flaws of G.o.dking pills. Only G.o.dking pills refined from high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s can be considered to be perfect, because high grade G.o.dking pills can break the restraints of the century-long lifespan, allowing the ingestor to truly become a regular G.o.dking. Not only will they possess the cultivation and comprehension of the G.o.dking realm, their lifespans will be unaffected too.”
“Moreover, cultivators who ingest low grade or mid grade G.o.dking pills have no chance at breaking through again. Until death, their strength will remain at early G.o.dking. However, this is different for people who broke through with high grade G.o.dking pills. They can keep cultivating, with hopes of reaching higher realms of cultivation…”
Jian Chen was utterly astounded when he heard about the nigh impossible effects of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s. Even with his mental fort.i.tude, he struggled to remain calm.
That was because he knew just too well what high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s represented. If he possessed a large quant.i.ty of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s, he could easily create a permanent army of G.o.dkings.
Most importantly, this army of G.o.dkings could continue to grow stronger through their own hard work.
Of course, this was only one aspect. There were also a large number of cultivators in the Saints’ World who had an extremely slim chance at becoming G.o.dkings, or no chance at all. If they knew that there was a pill that could turn them into G.o.dkings without any side effects, it was as clear as day that these people would go crazy for it. They would be willing to give up everything they possessed just for an opportunity to become a G.o.dking.
And among these people, there would definitely be a few precious items that they managed to obtain through various special circ.u.mstances.
The Fruit of Nurturing Ways growing in the Darkstar World was the best example of this.
And, the peak organisations of the Saints’ World also required a large number of G.o.dkings to fill up their ranks. Among these peak organisations, Infinite Primes were all figures on par to elders. G.o.dkings formed their primary force.
In that instant, Jian Chen thought of many things. It also allowed him to see the value of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s more clearly.
If just a few stalks of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s were brought to the Saints’ World, it obviously be far too insignificant to make any ripples, but if a large quant.i.ty was brought over, it would be a completely different story.
“How many stalks of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s are there?” Jian Chen did his best to hide his excitement as he asked with a calm front.
However, he became extremely nervous when he asked that question. Even his heart began to thump uncontrollably.
He was worried, extremely worried that there would not be enough high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s. If there were just a few stalks, they would not be as useful.
If there were enough, he would definitely be able to create an army of G.o.dkings in the Saints’ World.
In his understanding, only the Darkstar World could create an army entirely composed of G.o.dkings, because the Darkstar race never fought amongst themselves. They had managed to acc.u.mulate a large number of G.o.dkings over all these years.
As for the Saints’ World, where intense battles were rampant and it was filled with deception, even peak organisations with several million members would not be able to a.s.semble an army of G.o.dkings.
“Hall master, high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s doesn’t appear as easily as low grade G.o.dking gra.s.s. They’re much rarer. Out of the several tens of thousand stalks of G.o.dking gra.s.s we produce each century, ninety-nine percent of them are low grade G.o.dking gra.s.s. Only the remaining one percent is mid grade and high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s.”
“And among that one percent, roughly ninety-nine percent of them are mid grade G.o.dking gra.s.s. As a result, the chance for high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s to appear is one in ten thousand.”
“On average, only a single stalk of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s will appear within ten thousand stalks…”
Dou Wujin explained.
“Only a single stalk of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s will appear within ten thousand stalks, but you produce several tens of thousand stalks of G.o.dking gra.s.s each century. That means that there’s a few stalks of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s every century. If you calculate like that, a millennia would be several dozen stalks, ten millennia would be a few hundred stalks and a million years would be several tens of thousand stalks. We still should have ama.s.sed quite a lot of high grade G.o.dking gra.s.s over these years, right?” Jian Chen’s heart beat faster and faster. He squinted his eyes slightly at Dou Wujin as he forcefully maintained his composure, eager to hear his reply.
