139: Make money from alchemy

Having just broken through, Zhou Luo didn't stop. He went straight to the room where he usually did Qi Training and took out the Materials he had prepared earlier.

The third stage of physical tempering was almost complete. He estimated that two more times would be enough.

By then, with his physical strength, coupled with the Five Elements Swordplay and Wind Walk Without Trace Cultivation Methods, it would be enough to ensure his safety when going out.

An hour later, Qi Training finished, and Zhou Luo walked out of the room.

"Brother Zhou, the Materials you wanted have been delivered."

Just then, Xu Changsheng appeared again.

Ever since learning that Zhou Luo had entered the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, the look in his friend's eyes had become complicated.

In his eyes, for Zhou Luo to reach this point with a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root was worthy of respect and admiration.

But at the same time, it was precisely this Nine-Rank Spiritual Root that severed his immortal destiny.

Xu Changsheng couldn't help but think, if his friend had a Middle-Rank Spiritual Root, coupled with his talents in Pill Refining and Array Formation and his extraordinary Cultivation speed, his future achievements would surely be boundless.

It was a pity, everything was already destined. He was fated to become merely a retainer for another Family.

Zhou Luo didn't notice his expression. He took the storage bag and went straight to the Pill Refining Room on the third floor of the main building.

Inside the Pill Refining Room, looking at the large pile of Materials, Zhou Luo revealed a smile.

During his time back home, he specifically asked Lin An to help him prepare the Materials for the Longevity Pill.

Of course, the other party only knew he was going to refine pills, but seeing the diverse range of Materials, he thought they were just for ordinary High Grade pills, so he didn't pay much attention.

Ever since refining the Longevity Pill for Lin Zhishou last time and seeing the reaction of the Zhou Family members, Zhou Luo realized that this rare Longevity Pill might bring him a large fortune.

It was just that at the time, he was busy breaking through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, so he temporarily put this matter aside.

After emerging from seclusion later, he kept thinking about this matter.

On the first day he returned to Zhou Garden, he sent a message to Lin An, asking him to help prepare the Materials.

It must be said, the Materials for this Longevity Pill, especially the two main ingredients, were really hard to find.

It took this long for the other party to gather them all.

This trip outside was a rare opportunity, and Zhou Luo didn't plan to just go searching for clues.

After all, if the clues had already been seized by someone else, he would return empty-handed.

So he planned to use the remaining few months' Time.

To refine more Pills and spiritual talismans, which he could sell later to make a large profit.

Among Pills, the Longevity Pill was undoubtedly the most precious existence and definitely the primary target for refining.

It's a pity that this batch of Materials is estimated to only yield about twenty pills per bottle. It seems when I go out, I'll have to find some more Materials.

Five days later.

Zhou Luo successfully used up all the Materials, ultimately obtaining twenty-five Longevity Pills. Adding the two remaining from before, he had a total of twenty-seven.

Currently on the market, the price of a Longevity Pill has been inflated to five hundred Spirit Stones per pill.

What kind of concept is five hundred Spirit Stones?

In the giant Cultivation city of Maple Leaf City, a slightly remote house is only worth a little over four hundred Spirit Stones.

One First-Order Pill buys a house.

Perhaps only the Longevity Pill could achieve this.

At this price, excluding the material costs, he could earn at least thirteen thousand Spirit Stones. The profit was simply terrifying.

Thinking about it, it made sense. This was a Pill that could directly increase Lifespan.

In the Cultivation world, Lifespan was the ultimate pursuit that countless Cultivators relentlessly sought.

Only with sufficient Lifespan could one continuously break through and improve, eventually achieving the Dao and becoming immortal.

Especially for Cultivators on the verge of a Breakthrough, three to five years of Lifespan could potentially allow them to gain hundreds of years of Lifespan.

Therefore, the importance of Lifespan was self-evident.

To the extent that the Longevity Pill was once the most sought-after among Pills on the market, with a price but no supply.

The Azure Origin Sect limits the amount of Longevity Pills released into the secular world each year.

Besides the portion distributed to the Five Great Evergreen Families, most of the rest circulating on the market is intercepted by private individuals.

Only a very small portion makes it into circulation.

If the Azure Origin Sect hadn't imposed controls and explicitly forbidden the spread of Pill Refining methods, these Pills wouldn't have been inflated to such high prices.

They probably didn't expect that Zhou Luo would know the refining method.

Currently, this batch of Longevity Pills cannot be taken out yet, especially not for sale in Maple Leaf City.

Otherwise, clues would definitely be found later.

Zhou Luo planned to find a way to sell them when he went out later.

After refining the Longevity Pills, Zhou Luo didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue.

As expected, moderation had its benefits.

The energetic Zhou Luo then drew another batch of High Grade spiritual talismans.

As for peak-grade spiritual talismans, he would definitely keep them for his own use.

In the following days, he drew ten more High Grade spiritual talismans and refined some Pills.

Originally, he planned to continue.

But whether it was Pill Refining or Talisman Crafting, the required Materials were simply too expensive.

Currently, he was financially stretched thin.

If he continued, not only would he be unable to refine the spiritual talismans and Pills he needed for protection, but the daily operations of the entire Zhou Garden would also become unsustainable.

One evening, on a whim, Zhou Luo came alone to an empty space in the backyard.

In his hand, he held the Middle-grade magic tool he had won from Lu An at the Immortal Sect earlier, the Xuantian Sword.

The silver-white longsword shimmered under the moonlight, its smooth and bright blade reflecting Zhou Luo's Star-like eyes.

His mind stirred slightly.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy flowed along his Meridians into his palm and injected into the precious sword.

Clang!

Instantly, the Xuantian Sword burst forth with white light, emitting a clear sword cry.

Having stepped into the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, it was time to test the power of the first skill of the Five Elements Swordplay, "Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun".

As a sword art gifted by the System.

Zhou Luo could completely control it without needing to comprehend or practice. Previously, due to the lack of spiritual energy, his swordsmanship only had form but no intent.

Now that he had entered the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, he could clearly sense the connection established between himself and the magic tool.

Under the moonlight, Zhou Luo, clad in moon-white robes, stood holding the sword, his gaze sharp as a torch.

Spiritual light flickered all over his body, and vast spiritual energy surged forth like a rushing river.

The Xuantian Sword in his hand became increasingly bright and sharp.

He saw him move his lips slightly, staring at the thick tree not far away, and swung his sword.

The moment the Xuantian Sword was raised, a golden light appeared on the sword's surface, and dense Gold-attribute spiritual energy enveloped his entire body.

Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun!

Following Zhou Luo's movements, the Xuantian Sword burst forth with golden light, its dazzling and blinding radiance illuminating the night sky, carrying an extremely terrifying power.

A massive golden long rainbow pierced through the void, and under his precise control, it surged towards the large tree.

Boom—

The terrifying sword might exploded with a bang. The golden long rainbow surged out, smashing onto the large tree, erupting with an earth-shattering sound, and a powerful force rippled out in all directions.

At the same time, spiritual light flickered around, and the formation was activated, isolating the aftermath.

The golden light dissipated.

The large tree, originally over two meters tall, was directly turned into a pile of sawdust.

Zhou Luo's expression trembled slightly. He hadn't expected the power of this Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun to be so terrifying.

However, after using this move, he felt that the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea Dantian had decreased by one-third.

This was even with his expanded Qi Sea Dantian.

If it were his Qi Refining Fourth Layer self, he probably wouldn't even be able to unleash one move.
