Chapter 630: The Cosmos Ring
Chi Shuyan put the ancient pill formulas back down and then looked at the other bamboo slips one by one. There were also quite a number of incomplete array scrolls, as well as notes on refining pills.
On the other hand, there were no secret manuals for cultivators, while there were a few secret manuals for Celestial Masters. These secret manuals would be very precious to Celestial Masters, but to cultivators, they weren’t enough at all.
Chi Shuyan felt that the owner of this ring was also a marvel. The last bamboo slip she looked at was a self-introduction from the previous owner of the Cosmos Ring.
Indeed, he said that he was a high-level alchemist from the cultivation world who was admired by many. It was a pity that a lot of people displeased him, so he wasn’t willing to refine pills for them. Hence, his enemies plotted against him, which was how he suddenly fell to Earth.
After landing on Earth, he felt that there was a lack of spiritual energy here, which was very unfavorable for cultivation. If an ordinary cultivator landed on Earth, they would naturally do all they could to leave.
But this alchemist wasn’t interested in cultivation, and was only interested in alchemy. His cultivation had been pathetic in the cultivation world, but on Earth, he was at the top of the pecking order
The alchemist loved it and no longer had to experience the ma.s.s killings in the cultivation world all day long. He liked the peaceful atmosphere on Earth very much. He refined pills from time to time and lived a happy life. Occasionally, he would pick up a few cultivation manuals from the orthodox sects on Earth out of curiosity and study them.
It was a pity that the Celestial Master cultivation manuals on Earth were very poor and couldn’t be compared with those in the cultivation world at all. The content was too shallow.
The alchemist also mentioned that there was a shortage of herbs on Earth, which couldn’t compare with the herbs that had existed for tens of thousands of years in the cultivation world. Fortunately, he had heavenly soil from the cultivation world in his s.p.a.ce, which was very suitable for cultivating herbs.
This heavenly soil was filled with spiritual energy and was very precious. It was also very rare in the cultivation world.
If ordinary herbs on Earth were planted in heavenly soil, they could be cultivated into spirit herbs. Although they still couldn’t compare with 10,000-year-old spirit herbs, they were just barely comparable with 1,000-year-old spirit herbs from the cultivation world.
It was just that cultivating spirit herbs required extreme patience and care, and also depended on talent.
Chi Shuyan thought of the huge pile of earth she had just seen. She hadn’t thought much of it earlier, but now, she was overjoyed. It was the same excitement as when she had seen so many ancient pill formulas earlier.
What Chi Shuyan lacked the most now were aged herbs. Even if she knew how to refine pills and had some talent for it, without herbs, she was like the cleverest housewife who still couldn’t cook without rice.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t wait to try planting herbs and refining pills again after this.
At the end, the alchemist also mentioned that although he liked to refine pills, it was a pity that the pills he refined were too different from the pills of Celestial Masters and some ancient martial families on Earth. It was a tens of thousands of times’ difference in concentration.
After he sold a bottle of pills, those ancient martial families mobilized all their forces to search the world for him, and he didn’t dare sell pills anymore.
Later, he just ate the pills he refined like candy, including some high-level pills. When Chi Shuyan saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched violently.
She felt that alchemists were indeed eccentric.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of spiritual energy on Earth and the fact that he wasn’t talented in cultivation, this senior was stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage for hundreds of years and was unable to break through to the Golden Core stage. In the end, he pa.s.sed away.
Fate would determine the new owner of the Cosmos Ring.
After reading this, Chi Shuyan’s eyes were quite complicated. She didn’t expect this person to really be an alchemist from the cultivation world. It was just that it was too far away right now, so Chi Shuyan didn’t dwell on it.
It was just that when she thought of how she had rashly gone to the Jing family’s auction house to sell the level 3 Energy Recovery Pills, she felt it was a good thing that the herbs hadn’t been old enough, so the spiritual energy in the pills was only dozens of times more concentrated than the medicinal pills in this world. She didn’t expect this senior to take out medicinal pills that were thousands or tens of thousands of times richer in spiritual energy to sell, and then be hunted all over the world by all sorts of forces. That was just like poking a beehive. Fortunately, this senior did have some tricks up his sleeve.
Otherwise, it was hard to say what might have happened to him.
If she was able to refine genuine spirit pills in the future, Chi Shuyan resolved to never take them out; only the ones with dozens of times more spiritual energy could be sold!
