Chapter 60: Striving for Oneself

In the following days, everyone constantly cultivated and fought.

No one dared to slack off even a bit, for fear of being overtaken by others.

Challenges happened every day; even the owners of the stone houses were challenging forward, striving for better stone houses.

However, Ye Liuyun felt these stone houses were not much different, so he stopped challenging and kept busy cultivating.

Ye Liuyun has now reached the True Origin Realm and needs to take Condensing Origin Pills.

The materials for refining Condensing Origin Pills, he himself already had some, but not much—just enough to sustain him for a short while.

His Condensing Origin Pills are naturally different from the Gathering Origin Pills others take, with far better effect. Therefore, the Gathering Origin Pills distributed here, he gave all to Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng.

And since he reached the True Origin Realm, his soul and true essence have increased, so his pill-refining skill has also improved.

Now, when he refines a batch of thirty pills, at least two or three are Mysterious Tier Medium grade. The rest are mostly Mysterious Tier Low grade pills, occasionally yielding two or three Yellow Tier Supreme grade. However, Yellow Tier High grade pills are already nonexistent.

This shows that the pills he refines have overall gone up a grade.

After finishing refining pills, Ye Liuyun immediately resumed nonstop cultivation. After a period, his true essence, bloodline, and soul were greatly strengthened.

Lei Ming was even more surprised that he could refine pills! She also took his unused Bloodline Pills from him.

She had made up her mind to hang out with Ye Liuyun from now on. Moreover, every time Ye Liuyun slept, she would snuggle into his arms.

With her company, Ye Liuyun's life wouldn't be too boring. So he turned a blind eye, and almost all the unused pills were swept away by Lei Ming.

However, lately Ye Liuyun has made no progress in body refinement, mainly due to lacking body-refining medicinal materials. Moreover, other medicinal materials probably won't last much longer either!

If he doesn't go out to buy some medicinal materials soon, his savings will be completely exhausted!

He went to ask Han Shan for leave, saying he needed to go buy medicinal materials, but Han Shan didn't approve.

However, Han Shan said he could write down the medicinal materials; he would have someone buy them, and he would pay after they were bought back.

This also suited Ye Liuyun's wishes—having someone else buy them was more convenient than going himself.

But Han Shan had a condition: Ye Liuyun must advance two more stone houses.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun said nothing more and directly went to challenge the owner of the seventh stone house. The stone house owner was a martial artist named Tie Sen at the peak of True Origin Triple, yet he still couldn't withstand Ye Liuyun's finger.

He was directly defeated by Ye Liuyun and moved out of the seventh stone house.

Because Ye Liuyun's challenge was too sudden and the battle ended quickly, many people didn't even get to see their fight.

By the time they got the news, they only saw Tie Sen turn around and defeat the owner of the eighth stone house.

Only then did everyone realize that Ye Liuyun had entered the seventh stone house.

After Ye Liuyun defeated Tie Sen, he returned and told Han Shan, also handing over the list of needed medicinal materials.

"You still know how to refine pills?" Han Shan asked curiously.

"Yes! And I only take the pills I refine myself. That's why I need your help, Sir Han Shan!" Ye Liuyun said.

At this moment Han Shan finally understood why Ye Liuyun performed so outstandingly in the matches, yet after coming here he seemed somewhat "lacking ambition."

It turns out the cultivation resource most attractive to martial artists—pills—actually holds no allure for him. Meanwhile, crystal stones, for someone who can refine pills, he naturally lacks none.

Han Shan was at this point thinking whether to change the rules. But then he thought, actually each stone house really doesn't differ much. Moreover, there are few people his age who can refine pills, so it wouldn't be good to change the rules just for him; after thinking, he let it go.

Han Shan waved his hand at Ye Liuyun. "Remember, it's not me helping you; it's you who earned it yourself! Leave the list there, I'll arrange people to buy the medicinal materials."

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun replied, then directly returned to his residence.

After he returned, he discovered his ninth stone house had already been taken by someone, while the seventh stone house had been vacated for him.

Ye Liuyun shook his head helplessly and walked into the seventh stone house.

This really is a place where everything must be won by oneself—competition everywhere!

However, Ye Liuyun actually likes this environment. Pressure is what motivates people.

Those he defeated are all trying various ways to beat him, so he doesn't dare to slack off.

Although he doesn't go seize houses, his cultivation he dares not delay even a moment.

Recently, the Reserve Camp, because of Ye Liuyun, has seen great turnover in stone house owners. The eighth, ninth, and tenth stone houses often change hands—not to mention, even the owners of the higher-ranked stone houses feel pressure and have started competing against each other.

And disciples without stone houses have also been encouraged, cultivating with even greater vigor.

The Golden Armor Guard's work efficiency is also truly high. The next night, someone delivered all the medicinal materials he needed.

Ye Liuyun looked and found not a single item missing. Some medicinal materials he previously couldn't buy were actually obtained. This made him look upon the Golden Armor Guard with even higher regard.

Ye Liuyun paid the exact amount. This purchase of medicinal materials cost him fifteen thousand medium-grade crystal stones and three million low-grade crystal stones.

In his own hands, he now has only over fifty thousand medium-grade crystal stones left—barely enough money.

He spent so much mainly because he listed the materials for Bloodline Pills and body-refining liquid. He never expected that in the Prefecture City they could actually be bought.

Many of these medicinal materials are extremely rare. At least in Fengyang City, he would definitely not be able to gather them all.

It seems that as long as you have money, you can buy anything in the Prefecture City. His grand undertaking of making money is still a long and arduous road!

Buying medicinal materials once basically turns him into a penniless wretch again!

Next he began refining pills.

Bloodline Pills: he refined eighteen as Mysterious Tier Medium grade, the remaining thirty-six as Mysterious Tier Low grade. Since the materials are precious, he refined carefully, only ten pills per batch.

For other pills, he refines thirty per batch.

Condensing Origin Pills and Condensing Spirit Pills: he each refined five hundred. Of those, about one hundred each reached Mysterious Tier Medium grade.

Healing and detox pills, although he rarely uses them normally, he still refined one hundred each. For Mysterious Tier Medium grade pills, each type also has over twenty.

The body-refining liquid, his Five Elements Powder formulation, is also sufficient for his Immortal Overlord Body to advance another level.

He put the Mysterious Tier Medium grade pills and the Five Elements Powder together, keeping them for his own consumption.

The other Condensing Origin Pills and Condensing Spirit Pills, he all gave to Lei Ming, also helping her improve her cultivation. He also let Lei Ming appropriately give some to the Black Python and Bald Vulture, so their realms wouldn't fall behind.

Those three now usually stay in the stone house to cultivate.

Lei Ming also got excited, suddenly receiving so many cultivation pills—over four hundred of each type, most still being Mysterious Tier Low grade.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun let her take charge of distribution, effectively making her the boss. So she arrogantly handled the allocation, yet she didn't shortchange the Black Python and Bald Vulture either.

The Black Python immediately swallowed all the medicinal pills at once, then slowly digested them. Its digestive system is rather special, able to control the amount digested.

The Bald Vulture, on the other hand, ate them handful by handful.

Soon, both of them broke through to the True Yuan Fifth Tier one after another, and the power of their Soul also increased considerably.

But Lei Ming's realm, Ye Liuyun couldn't gauge precisely, and he didn't know whether she had actually broken through.

Ye Liuyun also gave half of the low-grade healing and detoxifying medicinal pills to them, gathered the rest together, planning to keep them for giving away or selling.
