Chapter 39 Purchase Restrictions
On Zixiao Peak.
In a rest area somewhere in the market, Li Yuhua spent twenty spirit coins and ordered two cups of spirit wine. He sat in a viewing pavilion with Chen Ming, looking at the lush forest below, and asked, "How have you been lately?"
Chen Ming smiled and said, "I am a little tired, but my cultivation has improved very quickly. If I rely on myself, I might not be able to reach the second level of Qi Refining in ten years. Now I have reached it in two months. If it were in the past, I would not even dare to think about it..."
There was a look of exhaustion on Chen Ming's face.
But Li Yu could see that he did not regret it.
After Chen Ming finished speaking, he looked at Li Yu and asked, "What about you? I heard that you became an alchemist. What is your current level?"
Li Yu said: "I am still at the first level of Qi Refining."
He did not lie. Although he had five spiritual veins, none of them had reached the second level of Qi Refining.
Chen Ming comforted him, "You have so many Tongmai Pills, you will surpass me in two days, and with Junior Sister Jiang here, you will soon be able to build your foundation..."
Li Yu did not explain, but asked: "What are your plans? Will you continue like this?"
Chen Ming laughed and said, "Her life span is less than 20 years. She said that if I stay with her for another 10 years, all her inheritance will be given to me. She also promised me that she would help me build my foundation as soon as possible. This is a good thing that many people would beg for..."
Li Yu could only clasp his fists and say, "I really admire you."
Chen Ming heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Li Yu, you have to know that not everyone is as lucky as you. Elder Sun is right. Dignity and integrity are all empty. Only the immortal path is eternal. Beauty or ugliness is nothing but bones under the skin. What's the difference between appearance and voice? It's all the same once you cover yourself with a quilt. Just bear with it. Twenty years will pass quickly..."
Compared to a lifespan of more than 200 years, twenty years really goes by very quickly.
Li Yu felt emotional, as he was the only one who truly listened to what Elder Sun said.
He has nothing but .
Not long after, the two separated at Zixiao Peak. Chen Ming had to go back to accompany his dual cultivation partner, while Li Yu returned to Danding Peak, closed the courtyard door, and came to the alchemy room.
On the stone platform in front of him, there were thirty Tongmai Pills.
With the help of Elder Sun's life savings, Li Yu briefly achieved freedom.
It is a pity that so many Tongmai Pills can improve the cultivation level of an ordinary disciple by three or four levels, but on average, Li Yu’s five spiritual veins can only improve it by less than one level.
The Tongmai Pill is equally effective and will not let any spiritual vein become a weak link. After taking thirteen Tongmai Pills, eight acupoints in the five spiritual veins of gold, wood, water, fire and earth were opened up, and at the same time, they reached the peak of the first level of Qi Refining.
At this moment, Li Yucai truly grew into a pentagonal warrior with balanced abilities.
In a short period of time, he took thirteen Tongmai Pills, which greatly improved his cultivation. His body could no longer bear it. Li Yu did not continue to take the rest, but sat in meditation on the spot to regulate his breathing and adapt to his current cultivation level.
He didn't continue taking it until the next day, when he had adjusted his condition to its peak.
After taking the remaining seventeen Tongmai Pills, his five spiritual veins had successfully broken through the first level of Qi Refining and reached the second level of Qi Refining. Among them, the fire, earth, and gold spiritual veins had opened up eleven acupoints, and the water and wood spiritual veins had opened up twelve acupoints.
Although he only has the second level of Qi Refining, the depth of his magical power is comparable to that of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
After all, other people’s Qi Refining Stage was only at the ninth level, but he was at the full forty-fifth level.
After a brief breath, Li Yu left the underground alchemy room and came to the courtyard.
As soon as he sat down on the stone chair, he heard Wu Tong cursing in the yard next to him, "What a bullshit rule! I just saved up 10,000 spirit coins and was planning to have some fun, but they said I can only buy three pills a month and have to take them on the spot. The elder in charge of the sect must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to come up with such a bad idea..."
Li Yu was surprised at first that Wu Tong had saved up 10,000 spirit coins in such a short time, and then he realized another thing he said.
He came to Wu Tong's yard and asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Tong looked at Li Yu, waved his hand, and said, "Hey, don't mention it. I just went to Danxin Pavilion to buy Tongmai Pills. The sister there told me that the sect has issued a new rule. Each disciple can only buy three Tongmai Pills per month, and they have to take them on the spot and cannot take them away. What kind of bullshit rule is this..."
Li Yu was also stunned when he heard this. He hadn't gone out for a day, but there was a purchase limit on Tongmai Dan?
Wu Tong was still talking nonstop: "I don't know which guy bought thirty Tongmai Pills at once, and bought all the Tongmai Pills that Danxin Pavilion had just put into storage. Many disciples waited for half a month and still couldn't buy any. They were very dissatisfied with this, and some people even reported it to the sect with their real names. A Jindan-stage elder in charge made such a rule..."
Li Yu covered his mouth and coughed lightly. Without saying anything, he silently returned to his yard and closed the door.
At this time, a new rule regarding the purchase of elixirs also spread in Kunlun Cave Heaven.
From today onwards, all Kunlun disciples, when purchasing Tongmai Pills, can only purchase a maximum of three Tongmai Pills with their identity jade tokens, and they need to take them on the spot and cannot take them out.
It is said that this is to rectify some long-standing chaos within the sect.
The Kunlun School's alchemy technique dominates the world of immortal cultivation and it has the largest number of alchemists. The price of Tongmai Pills sold within the sect is, of course, cheaper than those sold outside. This leads to many outsiders buying Tongmai Pills at low prices through the sect's disciples and selling them at high prices outside to make a profit from the difference.
This time, the purchase of Tongmai Dan is limited to real-name purchase and requires immediate consumption, which undoubtedly completely eliminates this possibility.
For the vast majority of Kunlun's low-level disciples, this rule is dispensable, because it often takes them several months to save up enough spirit coins for a Tongmai Pill, and the purchase limit of three pills per month has no impact on them.
Those who really have influence are the disciples or descendants of the sect's foundation-building elders and golden elixir elders.
Their position in the sect is very awkward, not as good as the best but better than the worst. They have no share of the Tongmai Pill, which is specially provided for the descendants of the Yuanying Patriarch's disciples. If they want the Tongmai Pill, they can only buy it from the sect.
However, compared to ordinary disciples, they were much wealthier and could buy several Tongmai Pills every month. With this regulation, they could only buy three, which greatly affected their practice speed.
The sect's move was to crack down on the reselling of Tongmai Pills and provide more pills to ordinary Kunlun disciples. This was applauded by the low-level disciples, but the second-generation immortals cursed in their hearts.
Some people, through their many connections, quickly figure out the whole story.
Cracking down on the reselling of Tongmai Dan is indeed a long-term plan of the sect, but the real fuse of this incident was a small conflict.
The descendant of a certain Jindan-stage elder of the sect was usually arrogant and domineering. He relied on his status to insult and provoke a new disciple in Danxin Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the new disciple turned out to be Jiang Li's childhood sweetheart...
According to the audience at the time, the handsome and unrestrained Junior Brother Li was humiliated by the descendant of the Jindan elder, so he took out 30,000 spirit coins and bought all the newly arrived Tongmai Pills, leaving none for the descendant of the Jindan elder.
Many disciples had long been dissatisfied with the second generation of immortals, and secretly applauded for this.
Although Li Yu was a new disciple, no one found it strange that he could casually take out 30,000 spirit coins.
After all, Junior Sister Jiang is behind him. People who know the inside story know that the several hundred Tongmai Pills in the sect this month were intercepted for Junior Sister Jiang, and those spiritual tickets must have been given by Junior Sister Jiang.
Originally the matter would have ended like this, but the second generation immortal was not convinced and informed the Jindan stage elder about the matter. The Jindan stage elder had some power in the sect, so he used the excuse of cracking down on the reselling of Tongmai Pills to suggest to the sect to restrict the purchase of Tongmai Pills.
After discussion, the sect's elders felt that his suggestion made sense and issued the order immediately, which won wide acclaim from a group of low-level disciples.
But it was different for the other second-generation immortals. This move greatly slowed down their cultivation speed. They didn't hate Li Yu, but they hated the stupid second-generation immortal so much that they had begun to secretly plan revenge. It was said that the Jindan elder had sent him out of Kunlun Cave Heaven in order to protect his descendants...
And Li Yu, as a man who single-handedly bought the Tongmai Pill until the purchase limit was reached, also gained a nickname in the sect.
The king of gigolos.
Other disciples would have to endure for years or even decades to exchange for thirty Tongmai Pills, but Li Yu only needed one day.
Some of the direct disciples of the Nascent Soul masters do not have this kind of treatment.
In the sect, some male disciples who rely on their bodies and looks to curry favor with the sect elders in their cultivation regard him as a role model in life. It's a pity that they are so weak and incompetent that no talented disciple of Sister Jiang's level would be interested in them...
