Chapter 764: Chapter 764 Still Short of Money_1

Mature Heavenly Pulse Warriors!

Heavenly Origin Power has already taken up ten percent of the energy within the body!

Ling Xiao’s strength now was much more powerful than before.

Previously, there was but a trace of Heavenly Origin Power, which is one percent of what he has now, yet it could exert tremendous effects.

Now that the Heavenly Origin Power has increased a hundredfold, fighting became naturally more effortless.

Unfortunately, the effects of the Heavenly Pulse Pill had been completely exhausted, but that wasn’t a problem, because Ling Xiao had already figured out the method for concocting Heavenly Pulse Pills, and believed that the Holy City must have enough medicinal ingredients for him to concoct them.

He might as well concoct them himself.

After all, there were still plenty of Spirit Stones on hand, and a large number of unused Transcendent Pills he had previously made, which he no longer needed and could take to the Holy City auction house for auctioning.

Don’t think that these Transcendent Pills, which were useless to him, seemed worthless.

In fact, they were incredibly expensive for other Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, and even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy them.

Many people had to use Honor Points from their sects to exchange for these things.

These "useless" Transcendent Pills were expected to cause quite a stir.

After moving his limbs around and exchanging a few moves with his Martial Soul Avatar, sensing his own strength which had increased significantly from before, Ling Xiao finally pushed the door open and went out.

Outside, although it was still early, only the people of Moon Hua Sect and Divine Sword Sect’s Joshua Long were waiting for him.

He couldn’t help but clasp his hands in an apologetic gesture and said, "I’ve kept everyone waiting, after we enter the city, the meal is on me!"

In the past, he couldn’t feel any love from Moon Hua Sect.

However, the current Moon Hua Sect had quietly changed, with closer relationships between the disciples and a lot of changes in the sect’s atmosphere.

Of course, the deep-rooted problems couldn’t be completely eradicated so quickly, but he was confident that it wouldn’t be long before Moon Hua Sect would completely transform.

"Hahaha, then we’ll have to take advantage of you, everyone listen up, choose the most expensive dishes to eat!"

Wu Xiang burst out laughing heartily, leading everyone into the city towards the Moon Hua Sect’s residence.

...

To thank the people of Moon Hua Sect and Joshua Long for their guard, Ling Xiao spent a whopping ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones for a luxurious meal for everyone.

Of course, this amount of Spirit Stones was nothing to him but to most common disciples, it was an astronomical figure.

After the meal, Ling Xiao went to see the Moon Lady.

The Moon Lady was someone he definitely needed to thank in person.

If it weren’t for the Moon Lady’s intervention in the True Demon Forbidden Land, the people of Heavenly King Sect wouldn’t have left so easily, and if he managed to survive, Moon Hua Sect would still be in trouble.

"Sister Moon, I won’t say too much, just thank you very much."

"Weren’t you going to marry me? How would you do that if you were dead? It’s only right," the Moon Lady said playfully with a smile.

Perhaps only in front of Ling Xiao would this outwardly cold woman become so playful and cute.

"Hehe, that’s right, now the wife is protecting the husband, and in the future, the husband will have to protect the wife properly," Ling Xiao chuckled.

"I believe that, with your talent, surpassing me is only a matter of time. What are your plans next?"

Moon Lady asked with a smile.

For some reason, she had an inexplicable faith in Ling Xiao, sensing that he shared many similarities with the King of People from the past. Perhaps the difference lay in the fact that the King of People was more like a Sage, without desires or even emotions.

Ling Xiao was different; his emotions were rich, and he was bold in both love and hatred, which made her favor him even more.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Xiao said, "Given my current strength, defeating most of the young titans is not an issue, but the Holy Son is an exception. Although I’m reluctant to admit it, that woman is truly strong. With the last bit of time remaining, I must do something more."

"You are being sensible. The Holy Son is, after all, a disciple of the Heavenly King Sect Master and the daughter of the Sacred Emperor. Her talent is no less than yours, and she possesses Dual Martial Souls, one of which is the Natural Dragon Soul; the nature of the other Martial Soul remains unknown,"

Moon Lady analyzed. "Moreover, the Sacred Dynasty’s royal Alchemists are no slouches, especially the Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord, who is recognized as the strongest Alchemist in the Heavenly Dragon Continent. He will definitely go all out to help the Holy Son.

Your breakthrough is fast, but the Holy Son’s will not be slow either."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao actually laughed and shook his head, "In front of my master, Yuan Venerate, Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord is nothing, just a top Yellow Grade Alchemist. As for alchemy, let alone comparing him to my master, even if he were compared to me, he is far behind."

"Are you that confident?"

Moon Lady smiled.

"Of course. Since it’s still early, I’ll head to the market now to purchase materials and refine the Heavenly Pulse Pills. Before the Martial Arts Festival final starts, I must at least cultivate the ’Sky Primordial Mysterious Technique’ to the Great Achievement Realm and ensure that over fifty percent of the Heavenly Origin Power fills my body!"

When it came to alchemy, Ling Xiao immediately became extremely confident, his eyes sparkling with pride and confidence.

He didn’t dare to claim much, but with enough Spirit Stones, he could use his ability and the Hell Melting Furnace to refine sufficiently impressive pills.

To others, what was considered a precious Spiritual Elixir was not much in his eyes. It might not be as easy as eating and drinking, but it certainly wouldn’t be too difficult, either.

As long as the materials were plentiful, concocting a dozen or even dozens of Heavenly Pulse Pills was absolutely no problem, ensuring his cultivation level rose to the Breakthrough Sky Meridian Martial Artist standard.

Of course, all of this depended on money!

Or rather, Spirit Stones.

For instance, the Heavenly Pulse Pill required three five-hundred-year-old Purple Leaf Snow Lotuses, four thousand-year-old Heavenly Pulse Herbs, or four thousand-year-old Heavenly Pulse Spirit Fruits.

Besides, it needed an eight-hundred-year-old Element-Gathering Fruit, as well as the Inner Elixir of a Ferocious Beast at the same level as a Heavenly Vein Warrior.

The attributes didn’t matter much; what mattered was that Inner Elixirs of such level were hard to come by.

Just consider—the price of a five-hundred-year Purple Leaf Snow Lotus was 30,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones each, so three would cost 90,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

A thousand-year Heavenly Pulse Herb or Spirit Fruit would cost at least 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones each, amounting to 400,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones for four pieces, and typically, ordinary drugstores wouldn’t have them in stock. You’d have to go to auction houses or other upscale stores.

As for the eight-hundred-year-old Element-Gathering Fruit, it was even more precious, costing at least 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones per fruit, rarer than the Heavenly Pulse Herb and Spirit Fruit.

The last component, the Inner Elixir of a Ferocious Beast at the Heavenly Vein Warrior Realm, generally ranged from 100,000 to 1 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Let’s calculate using the cheapest price of 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The cost of the materials alone for one Heavenly Pulse Pill would thus come to about 800,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Just a little bit more puts it at 1 million.

So, Ling Xiao’s 20 million Low-grade Spirit Stones doesn’t seem like much after all, and it’s probably not even enough to cover the cost of materials for twenty Heavenly Pulse Pills.

This is why he wanted to auction off all the Transcendent Pills.

In the end, it still came down to not having enough money.
