73: Chapter 73 The Highly Profitable Barrier-Breaking Pill

Scripture Pavilion.

Zhao Mo was familiar with the layout and quickly found the place where Palm Thunder was stored.

Palm Thunder, Golden Core level lightning Spell, relative difficulty: five stars, learn with caution.

Can be practiced by those with lightning attribute or Five Elements attribute Spiritual Roots; selling price is fifty High-Grade Spirit Stones or five hundred thousand Xuan Sect points.

Zhao Mo directly paid fifty High-Grade Spirit Stones. As for points, he likely didn't have any; after all, he had been down the mountain for so many years and had never done any Xuan Sect missions.

"Difficulty five stars? Is it very hard?"

Zhao Mo didn't take it to heart; it was just a Spell, how hard could it be?

"Amazing."

"Possessing Five Elements Spiritual Roots and cultivating the Five Elements Art actually allows one to practice Palm Thunder."

Zhao Mo sat on the mist returning to Tianfeng Valley, recalling the contents of the Jade Slip.

"Heaven and Earth Infinite, Universe Borrowing Law, Five Elements Merge into One, Thunder obey my command."

"Palm Thunder."

Zhao Mo just subconsciously recited the incantation and pushed his palm forward.

As a result, a golden light shot out from his rotating Golden Core. Before Zhao Mo could even react, it had already shot out from his palm.

"Boom."

A thin bolt of lightning tore through the mist in front of Zhao Mo and vanished into the distance.

"What the hell, this is called difficulty five stars?"

"Liars."

What Zhao Mo didn't know was that on Heavenly Pillar Mountain, over a dozen Golden Core True Persons had been practicing Palm Thunder for over a hundred years. If they knew the speed at which Zhao Mo learned Palm Thunder, they would probably go straight to Tianfeng Valley to become his apprentices.

"Heaven and Earth Infinite, Universe Borrowing Law, Five Elements Merge into One, Thunder obey my command."

"Palm Thunder."

Another bolt of lightning shot out.

Zhao Mo lost interest.

"Boring."

He let the mist carry him slowly back to Tianfeng Valley.

"Damn it, when I promote to Nascent Soul True Lord, the first thing I'll do is go learn the Cloud Soaring Technique."

"This mist riding is just too slow."

Zhao Mo complained as he flew, though he didn't see the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Stage Cultivators below, who were still flying by controlling Qi, which was even slower.

"You're back."

Ding Xin looked at Zhao Mo.

"It's fine. Palm Thunder is notoriously difficult to learn. Back in the day, the fastest of my father's Disciples took nearly ten years to learn it."

"Ten years?"

Zhao Mo clearly didn't believe it. This damn Spell takes ten years to learn?

"Heaven and Earth Infinite, Universe Borrowing Law, Five Elements Merge into One, Thunder obey my command."

"Palm Thunder."

Following Zhao Mo's action, a bolt of lightning appeared in front of Ding Xin, punching a large hole in the roof of Leisurely Residence.

"Are you bored or something? Why did you blow up the roof? Fix it yourself!"

Zhao Mo: "Huh?"

Shouldn't you be shocked that I mastered Palm Thunder so quickly? Shocked that he, Zhao Mo, is a Genius at learning Spells? You actually care about the roof?

Zhao Mo looked at Ding Xin, clutching his chest.

"Alright, stop acting. We'll try a few more positions tonight, okay?"

"Hurry up and fix the roof, come help."

Different positions? Zhao Mo felt itchy in his heart. You should have said so earlier.

Then he went happily to fix the Leisurely Residence.

Fortunately, this Leisurely Residence was a standardized Magical Artifact; you could just dismantle the entire roof and replace it with a new one.

Otherwise, if Zhao Mo had to fix it, he probably wouldn't be able to fix the roof in ten nights, and by then he wouldn't even have any sleep, let alone try new positions.

"Come, these are Zixiao fruits, please begin your performance."

Ding Xin took out the thousand jin of Zixiao fruits she had bought at the market and placed them in front of Zhao Mo.

"Wait, separate ten jin first, let me practice with them."

Because he learned it too quickly, Zhao Mo couldn't control the power of the Palm Thunder as he wished. If he accidentally zapped the ingredients, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

These Zixiao fruits were entirely yellow, covered in fuzz, and about the size of a child's fist. He didn't know why they were called Zixiao fruits.

"Zap them, why are you spacing out?"

Zhao Mo said: "I want to see if this stuff can be grown by myself, so I won't have to buy it later."

Ding Xin rolled her eyes at Zhao Mo.

"When I bought these, I already asked the shopkeeper. These Zixiao fruits grow on Thunder Mountain, and one tree can produce over ten thousand jin of fruit. It's not like they are hard to sell? Why would you want to grow them?"

"And those other few types of Spirit Medicine and Spirit Materials are the same; their yields are surprisingly large."

"The strange thing is why no one in the Xuan Sect discovered that these things are the raw Materials for refining the obstacle breaking pill?"

Zhao Mo: "You're asking me? Who do I ask?"

He silently recited the incantation in his heart.

"Palm Thunder."

The lightning struck the Zixiao fruits in front of him. After a puff of smoke, the ten jin of Zixiao fruits had all turned into blackened fruits; it was clear they were ruined.

"The power was too high, let's go again!"

After trying three times in a row and wasting thirty jin of Zixiao fruits, Zhao Mo finally mastered the control.

Looking at the fruit in his hand that had been zapped until it turned purple, Ding Xin had a complicated look in her eyes.

"You really are a monster."

She had never seen anyone learn a Spell so easily; Zhao Mo was the first.

"What monster? This is talent," Zhao Mo said.

Actually, this wasn't really talent. In Zhao Mo's eyes, these Spells were just like video games. Which man playing a game doesn't just need to be told once to get the hang of it?

As for whether he was an expert or not, that was a different matter; in any case, he knew how to play.

Fourteen days later.

"Hurry, hurry."

"Get the white jade honey ready."

Zhao Mo didn't end up trying any new positions after all, having been dragged by Ding Xin to refine pills for fourteen days.

Fortunately, both were of Golden Core cultivation; otherwise, those fourteen days without sleep would be impossible to endure for anyone with lower cultivation.

One could see the pill liquid constantly churning in the jade cauldron. After adding the Moon Essence Dew and Earth Dragon Bone, it had become viscous.

As time passed, under Ding Xin's stirring, it had formed into pill pellets.

One turn, two turns,

"That's it, now~"

Zhao Mo, at Ding Xin's shout, poured in the white jade honey.

Strangely enough, the originally purple-red pill pellets, after absorbing the white jade honey, actually turned golden, looking exactly like the obstacle breaking pill Zhao Mo saw at the Liu Clan Apothecary.

"Careful~"

Ding Xin shouted, using her magical power to protect the jade cauldron.

Before Zhao Mo could react, a bolt of lightning had already struck the jade cauldron.

"What the f*ck, this damn pill even has a Lightning Tribulation?"

This was something Zhao Mo hadn't expected, given that the Materials were so cheap.

"What a pity, there were originally nine pills formed, but four were ruined by the Lightning Tribulation."

Inside the jade cauldron, five obstacle breaking pills were floating, surrounded by the remnants of the other four.

"Seal."

With Ding Xin's pill collection incantation, the five Medicinal Pills flew into the jade bottle one by one.

"You actually refined them successfully."

Zhao Mo said.

"That's natural. One hundred jin of each Spirit Material and Spirit Medicine, five pills formed, the cost is~"

Ding Xin did a quick calculation in her mind.

"Not counting the white jade honey and labor, the cost of just the Spirit Medicine and Spirit Materials is only nine Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Which means the cost of each obstacle breaking pill is less than two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

"How many Spirit Stones does Liu Clan Apothecary sell one pill for again?"

Zhao Mo felt his mouth go a bit dry.

"Six hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, and you have to book in advance."

What is called profiteering? This is it.

"Could it be that the pills you refined are different from theirs?"

Ding Xin picked up the obstacle breaking pill she had refined and, without hesitation, ate one.

"They are the same, I can be certain."

"The Liu Clan is indeed a malignant tumor of our Xuan Sect; they are truly unscrupulous."

"Hmph, I'll refine a few more, and when the time comes, I'll expose them directly."

Zhao Mo didn't say anything. He always felt there was a problem here. The cost of the obstacle breaking pill was so cheap, why had no one in the Xuan Sect discovered it for thousands of years?

Even the Scripture Pavilion didn't have the Pill Formula?
