Chapter 216: The Six-Star Purple Spirit Cleansing Pill!
"Brother Lin, is this really a pill?"
Amo looked at the dazzling purple-red crystal pill in Jiang Lin's hand, his big eyes filled with disbelief.
"I've never seen such a beautiful pill before. And there's not even the slightest scent of medicinal fragrance! If you hadn't told me, I would've thought it was just a polished magic core," the werewolf youth Amo said innocently.
"Is it beautiful? Well, if it looks good, it must be a good pill!" Jiang Lin smiled when he heard Amo's praise of the crystal pill, but before his smile could fully show, he heard Amo's next words. His handsome face instantly darkened, and he said, "What do you know? This is called returning to simplicity, the Tao is simple, and no fragrance is the highest realm of pill refinement!"
Of course, this was the Purple Spirit Crystal Pill Jiang Lin made with some spiritual materials to supplement life elements. If there was any fragrance, it could only be his own body fragrance. If it was fragrant, that was...
"Huh? So that's how it is?" Amo was stunned by Jiang Lin's explanation. Although a bit skeptical, seeing Jiang Lin so confidently glowing, Amo could only nod in half belief.
"Well, I'm not trying to fool you guys. This is a special pill I refined."
"Brother Lin, aren't you a refiner?" Amo asked, confused.
"Hmm, alright, I won't play dumb anymore. This is a special type of crystal pill I refined. It's a bit different from regular pills. This type of crystal pill needs repeated refinement before it can absorb the... well, let's just call it the medicinal effect," Jiang Lin explained.
"This six-star Purple Spirit Crystal Pill was originally meant for myself, but now to avoid any issues with patients, I'll just give it to you guys," Jiang Lin continued. Why was the Purple Spirit Crystal Pill called a six-star pill? Because the material, the Purple Spirit Crystal, was an extremely rare six-star treasure. Dou Qi cultivators could wear Purple Spirit Crystals while cultivating to absorb its pure energy, speeding up their training. Dou Masters could use it to advance quickly to the Great Dou Master stage in two to three years. The better their talent, the faster they would cultivate; the worse their talent, the less effective it would be.
However, for Jiang Lin, with one crystal core, this pill could help him break through one star level in one to two months. With two crystal cores, he could potentially break through two star levels in two months. For others, it could theoretically help them enhance their meridian strength to the Dou Wang level in one to two years, though their cultivation wouldn't be directly improved by the crystal pill.
Jiang Lin's crystal pills were mainly divided into two types: body refinement and marrow cleansing. The pill in his hand was specifically a six-star Purple Spirit Marrow Cleansing Crystal Pill. The difference between body refinement pills and marrow cleansing pills came down to the method Jiang Lin used in refining them. Of course, for Jiang Lin himself, it would only serve to improve the 'turnover rate' of his Fire Refining Technique.
Now, how could Jiang Lin, at the level of a one-star Great Dou Master, refine a six-star Purple Spirit Marrow Cleansing Crystal Pill? The reason was that although the Purple Spirit Marrow Cleansing Crystal Pill used refining techniques, it was essentially a special type of pill that tested the soul force control of the alchemist. Jiang Lin's soul force was enough to allow him to refine seventh-grade pills. As long as the materials were something Jiang Lin could refine, making a seven-star crystal pill wasn't a problem. However, materials of that grade, apart from spiritual herbs, were rarely something Jiang Lin could refine.
Purple Spirit Crystals were considered semi-refined, and even Jiang Lin needed one to two months to fully refine them. As for others... well, it might take one to two years.
Regarding this process, if one had to use Dou Qi to hold it in place... well, you wouldn't want to eat something that's come out of the toilet, right? Would Dou Qi users really want to eat high-level crystal pills like that?
"This Purple Spirit Crystal Pill's effect happens to be suitable for A Xiao. As long as she refines it diligently, it should allow her meridians to strengthen enough to withstand the violent Dou Qi in her bloodline within one to two years." The difference between body refinement and marrow cleansing pills wasn't too big. Generally, pills made from difficult-to-digest crystal minerals were marrow cleansing pills, with slow, continuous energy output. On the other hand, body refinement pills, made from easier-to-digest materials, had more intense energy output, causing the person to burn with energy. Both were similar in principle, with a focus on different areas.
Buli Great Priest hesitated as she looked at the so-called "six-star Purple Spirit Crystal Pill" in Jiang Lin's hand. Forget about whether the pill itself was legitimate, but just the "six-star" label made the Buli Great Priest feel that it seemed somewhat untrustworthy. After all, pills were tools, how could they be measured in stars?
"Aren't you guys skeptical?" Jiang Lin smiled, looking at Buli Great Priest and Amo. He placed the wooden box containing the six-star Purple Spirit Crystal Pill in front of the two of them, gently saying, "Do you know the Purple Spirit Crystal? It's the material used to make this crystal pill, something that the Crystal Winged Lion King takes over ten or twenty years to gather."
Buli Great Priest stared at the Purple Spirit Crystal Pill in front of her, and while she recognized the Purple Spirit Crystal as a valuable item that aids in cultivation, turning it into a pill was... a bit strange? But Jiang Lin had indirectly told her the value of the pill by mentioning the rare material. After all, the material was so precious that the pill couldn't possibly be worthless.
"Exchanging this Purple Spirit Crystal Pill for your six-star magic core crystals isn't unreasonable. If it weren't for the fact that I really need magic core crystals right now, I would've kept this pill for myself," Jiang Lin said with a light smile. If it weren't for the need to prevent the gap between Dou Qi cultivation and physical strength from widening, Jiang Lin would've already used the Purple Spirit Crystal Pill himself. Of course, if he hadn't fully digested it by the time he met Amo, Jiang Lin would have no problem spitting it back out. He was all about flexibility after all; who would know anyway? A little Golden Fire purification, and it's as good as new.
If we're talking about value, Jiang Lin's six-star Purple Spirit Crystal Pill, refined with his perfect Golden Fire Dou Qi and Dou Crystal technique, was worth as much as a full six-star magic core. However, due to the lack of a way to liquidate it, Jiang Lin wasn't sure if he could even exchange it for a six-star magic core.
But fortunately, Jiang Lin didn't need a six-star magic core; he needed a magic core crystal. If someone gave him a six-star magic core, he would have to find a Dou Huang level expert to help clear the energy inside it to avoid getting himself blown up while refining the crystal core.
Buli Great Priest stared at Jiang Lin for a long time, then sighed with a hint of fatigue:
"We'll trade."
Everything for the future of the Buli Tribe.
