Chapter 495: White Dew Pill

"I have only recently reached Core Formation, and I really don't know much about the effects of these high-tier spirit items. I hope Senior Brother Chu can enlighten me." Hearing that Chu Chu Fengping's tone seemed to have a better idea for the demon core in his hand, Song Song Qingming hurriedly nodded in anticipation.

After killing the White Lion Demon King with the help of Wu Wu Wenhai and the others that day, Song Song Qingming obtained all the demon beast materials on its body, including, of course, the most precious inner core of the Demon King.

After the war, when the sect's Merit Pavilion sent people to transport spirit items and count merits, Song Song Qingming thought that these important high-tier demon beast materials would be first recovered by the Merit Pavilion and then uniformly distributed and rewarded after the demon beast turmoil.

He did not expect that the people sent by the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion to Jinshan Market did not mention this to Song Song Qingming, but just loaded the materials of those low-tier demon beasts and returned to Mount Guyang Mountain immediately. The demon beast materials on the White Lion Demon King remained with Song Song Qingming.

Later, when Song Song Qingming led the team north to support Mount Guiyun Market, because the war was intense, no one in the Xiaoyao Sect cared about this matter. Even the two most powerful people in the Xiaoyao Sect, Supreme Elder Li Muyun and Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu, never mentioned these high-tier demon beast materials to Song Song Qingming, as if everyone had tacitly forgotten about this matter.

After obtaining the demon beast materials on the White Lion Demon King, Song Song Qingming had kept them on his person for several years, but never had the opportunity to use these very rare spirit items.

Among the many cultivation families in Qinghe County and Pingyang County within the Song family's territory, the highest cultivation technique was only second-tier, and no one had the ability to refine and process these high-tier materials.

This time Song Song Qingming came to the Xiaoyao Sect, besides wanting to get some pills needed by himself and his family from the Merit Pavilion, another purpose was to find other Core Formation elders in the sect to see if he could exchange these high-tier demon beast materials for things he could use.

Seeing a clear glimmer of light in Song Song Qingming's eyes, Chu Chu Fengping paused and continued:

But the "White Dew Pill" was different. This was a precious pill that even the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion did not have, and it was something that Song Song Qingming could not ask for now. Song Song Qingming did not need to think much about how to choose.

After patiently explaining, Chu Chu Fengping kept observing the changes on Song Song Qingming's face, as if worried that he had not fully understood the benefits he had just mentioned.

A third-tier Demon King's inner core could be sold for at least 30,000 spirit stones in those large markets outside. If Song Song Qingming took it to a place like the Tiandan Alliance, it should not be difficult to exchange for three Foundation Establishment Pills.

"If this White Dew Pill is really as Senior Brother said, refining one can add more than ten years of cultivation to a Core Formation cultivator, then it is indeed a spirit item that we cannot miss. I wonder how much confidence Senior Brother Chu has in refining this pill?"

"Junior Brother may not know that this Demon King's inner core, besides being able to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, can also be used to refine some spirit pills useful for Core Formation cultivators like me to improve cultivation. This White Lion Demon King's demon core is metal-attributed, and I know that there is a third-tier mid-grade White Dew Pill formula in the sect's Merit Pavilion that happens to be usable."

However, compared to the "White Dew Pill" that Chu Chu Fengping said could help improve his cultivation for more than ten years, the importance of the Foundation Establishment Pill was naturally much less to Song Song Qingming now.

Hearing that Song Song Qingming was already clearly tempted, Chu Chu Fengping hurriedly continued to reply: "My alchemy level is only third-tier low-grade, but I have had experience refining White Dew Pills before. I have the confidence to produce at least two pills."

"The White Dew Pill can be of great help to us Core Formation cultivators in improving our cultivation speed, at least saving us more than ten years of bitter cultivation time. Especially for a Core Formation early-stage cultivator like you, Junior Brother, the effect of refining this pill will be even better."

"If you, Junior Brother, use this demon core to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, it would truly be a bit of a waste. It would be better to cooperate with me to refine a furnace of White Dew Pills. Don't worry, you only need to provide the White Lion Demon King's demon core, and I will think of a way for other auxiliary medicinal materials. In at most half a year, I will be able to start refining this pill."

"This White Dew Pill is a good thing that even the sect's Merit Pavilion doesn't have. One pill sold in the market outside or at an auction house is worth at least 20,000 spirit stones. Junior Brother, as long as you have the White Dew Pill, it will not be difficult to exchange for a few Foundation Establishment Pills in the future. Just say a word at the Merit Pavilion, and naturally, other elders will come to your door."

As long as there was a Core Formation Old Ancestor like Song Song Qingming, the Song family would have plenty of opportunities to get Foundation Establishment Pills in the future.

"At that time, if only one pill is produced, I will treat it as practice and not charge you any remuneration, Junior Brother. If two or more pills are refined, I will take one, and the rest will all belong to you. What do you think?"

"Alright, let's do as Senior Brother said. I will hand this item over to Senior Brother Chu first. When Senior Brother finishes refining the pills, notify me and I will come to pick them up." After hesitating for a moment, Song Song Qingming quickly nodded and agreed, took out the small wooden box containing the Demon King's inner core, and placed it in Chu Chu Fengping's hand.

Although a Demon King's inner core was worth more than 20,000 spirit stones, as long as he could exchange it for a White Dew Pill, a spirit pill that could assist him in quickly improving his cultivation, Song Song Qingming was willing even if he lost a little spirit stone.

Song Song Qingming had broken through to the Core Formation realm for less than ten years, and there was still a long way to go before he could cultivate to the second layer of Core Formation. However, if Chu Chu Fengping's alchemy went smoothly, as long as he could refine a "White Dew Pill," Song Song Qingming would save more than ten years of bitter cultivation by refining this pill, and he would not be far from the second layer of Core Formation.

Seeing the Demon King's inner core in the box, Chu Chu Fengping was also quite excited. The biggest purpose of his proposal to cooperate with Song Song Qingming to refine the "White Dew Pill" this time was also to improve his alchemy level.

Although he had already become a third-tier alchemist, the Xiaoyao Sect did not have many third-tier mid-grade alchemy resources for him to practice with, and Chu Chu Fengping rarely had the opportunity to refine pills of this level.

This time, with the White Lion Demon King's inner core, it was a good opportunity for Chu Chu Fengping, not only to improve his alchemy level but also to get a "White Dew Pill."

Reaching this cooperation with Song Song Qingming to get what each needed, Chu Chu Fengping was naturally very happy in his heart.

After agreeing with Chu Chu Fengping, Song Song Qingming quickly bid farewell and left, coming directly to the sect's Merit Pavilion, preparing to see if he could exchange for the spirit items he wanted.

Because the demon beast turmoil had just passed, the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion was also in a very busy scene, with several huge storehouses filled with various demon beast materials and other spirit items transported back from the front line.

These demon beast materials were very difficult to consume in a short time in the Wei Guo cultivation world. Besides a portion being transported to shops operated by the Xiaoyao Sect in various places for sale, the rest needed to be processed by the sect's large spirit boats and sent to markets in surrounding countries for help.

After exchanging these demon beast materials for spirit stones and other spirit items scarce in Wei Guo, and then transporting them back to the Xiaoyao Sect by flying boat, these demon beast materials could be slowly consumed without much time.

After this demon beast turmoil, not only did the Song family receive many merits, but Song Song Qingming's own sect elder token also had more than 10,000 merit points at once, which was enough for him to squander in the Merit Pavilion for a period of time.

After explaining his intention in the Merit Pavilion, as Song Song Qingming expected, the spirit items in the Merit Pavilion were now very tight. Not to mention Foundation Establishment Pills, even the batch of spirit stones he wanted to exchange from the Merit Pavilion to upgrade the spirit vein of Mount Funiu Mountain could not be decided by these people, and they needed to send a message to obtain the consent of Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu first.

Originally, Song Song Qingming did not want to disturb Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu because of his own small matter, but now that the situation in the Merit Pavilion was special, many things could not be decided by the people below. He could not just come for nothing, so Song Song Qingming had to nod and agree to wait for Yao Yao Ganshu to come.

Taking advantage of the time, Song Song Qingming went to the third floor of the Merit Pavilion first, wanting to find some pills needed for his daily cultivation. However, after turning around, Song Song Qingming immediately showed a look of disappointment. The shelves that were full a few years ago were now mostly empty.

On the entire third floor of the Merit Pavilion, except for some second-tier spirit items that were relatively common in the market, the only spirit items above the third tier left were some pills that were of no use to Song Song Qingming.

He did not expect that after a demon beast turmoil that happened once in a hundred years, the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion would also be emptied so quickly. Song Song Qingming could only walk back helplessly.

Song Song Qingming had been cultivating on the second-tier top-grade spirit vein of Qinghe Market recently, and the spiritual energy was still insufficient, which made Song Song Qingming's daily consumption of pills and spirit stones relatively fast.

Originally, he wanted to replenish some, but he did not expect that these pills, which could be exchanged at will, were no longer available in the Merit Pavilion, which made Song Song Qingming feel quite depressed.

Since entering the Dao, from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment, as long as he had enough spirit stones, he could basically buy the pills needed to assist in cultivation or breakthrough. He had never lacked the pills and spirit items needed for cultivation.

But since his cultivation broke through to the Core Formation stage, Song Song Qingming immediately felt the lack of cultivation resources around him. Resources and spirit items above the third tier in the entire Wei Guo cultivation world were very rare, and only the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion could fix the exchange for some spirit pills that were helpful to the cultivation of Core Formation cultivators.

However, what could be exchanged at any time in the sect's Merit Pavilion were only the most ordinary pills for the Core Formation stage, and the improvement of Song Song Qingming's current cultivation speed was very limited. If he followed the current cultivation speed, it would take at least thirty years for Song Song Qingming to break through a layer of realm in the early stage of Core Formation, which was still a bit too slow for a Core Formation cultivator.
