Chapter 129 Transferred from Linyang Immortal City
Chapter 129 Transferred from Linyang Immortal City
Arriving at Liang Ruyan's cave, there was a spiritual tree on the right side of the courtyard, and a pavilion in the middle. Inside the pavilion was a stone table and four stone chairs. Liang Ruyan was sitting on one of the stone chairs, drinking spiritual tea.
"You're here." Liang Ruyan poured a cup of spiritual tea with a smile, placed it in front of Shi Chen and said, "The ceasefire has lasted for a long time. If the human race and the sirens shake hands and make peace, what are your plans?" There was some expectation in her eyes.
"Handshake and make peace?" Shi Chen was quite surprised, frowning, and asked doubtfully, "Will the Sirens return the occupied Immortal City land to the human race?"
"It shouldn't be possible. But I got some information that the big guys above don't want to go to war with the Sirens. It must be because we don't have anyone on our side who can unify the entire army." Liang Ruyan sighed lightly, looking somewhat helpless.
"Everyone is fighting against each other. Every continent and every sect is reluctant to use their own strength." Shi Chen shook his head, his face full of resentment.
"This is indeed a big problem. The leaders of the fusion realm do not submit to each other, and the human race is like a pile of loose sand. However, the mermaid clan does not have many people who have achieved fusion, but they are united." Liang Ruyan agreed, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"What does the higher-ups mean now? Can a cultivator like me, who is not from this continent, leave?" Shi Chen asked anxiously, his eyes fixed on Liang Ruyan.
"The ceasefire has not been officially announced yet, so we cannot leave Dongzhizhou, but we should be transferred elsewhere." Liang Ruyan said, frowning slightly.
"In that case, is it possible to be transferred behind the front line?" Shi Chen asked, his face full of anticipation.
"I'm afraid not. The human cultivator army has suffered heavy casualties in the war. It will be difficult to approve the application to the logistics department." Liang Ruyan said, waving her hands helplessly.
"Will the application to go to other immortal cities be approved?" Shi Chen continued to ask, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"You want to go to other immortal cities?" Liang Ruyan said, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Shi Chen looked into Liang Ruyan's eyes, and seemed to see a hint of mist in her eyes, and her face was as red as a peach blossom.
Liang Ruyan felt a little shy when Shi Chen looked at her. She lowered her eyes and wondered if he knew what she was thinking.
"If I can apply for a transfer, I will definitely apply to go to another fairy city. If you want to go, that's fine too. At least we can take care of each other." Shi Chen thought for a moment and said with determination in his eyes.
"Which fairy city are we going to?" Liang Ruyan asked, looking up at Shi Chen.
"Let's go to the fairy city of Wangdao at the southernmost tip first." Shi Chen replied, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll apply with you to go to Wangdao Fairy City. But it's only more than 3,000 miles away from the South China Sea Fairy City occupied by the sea monsters. Isn't it a bit dangerous?" Liang Ruyan said with a worried look on her face.
"Now the human race and the sirens have reached a ceasefire, and both sides are restraining themselves. There are only some minor conflicts below. According to the military report, there are no fusion cultivators of the sirens there, only one god-transforming and five Yuanying sea monsters. There is a fusion leader of the human race in the Wangdao Fairy City. As long as I don't encounter the god-transforming sea monster, even if I can't defeat the Yuanying sea monster, it will be relatively easy to escape." Shi Chen said firmly, with his hands folded in front of his chest.
"Okay, I'll apply for a transfer from the garrison in Xiancheng. It may take half a month to get news." Liang Ruyan nodded and said.
"I'm waiting for your news in the cave." Shi Chen's eyes were full of anticipation.
Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan's transfer applications were approved, but it took quite a long time. Twenty days had passed when Shi Chen received the news.
The elixir that allows the Golden Elixir to advance to the Nascent Soul stage is the Infant Transformation Pill. One Infant Transformation Pill requires 30,000 military merits, and the pill formula requires 200,000 military merits.
One needs to queue up to exchange for the Infant Transformation Pill. Currently, among the cultivators in Dongzhizhou, there are 55 cultivators who have reached the Golden Core stage and are queuing up for the Infant Transformation Pill.
The longest-awaited cultivator had waited over three hundred years. The success rate of the Infant Transformation Pill was low, with only six full pills remaining, rather than the normal twelve. Therefore, obtaining a single Infant Transformation Pill was extremely difficult.
There are only five alchemists in Dayu Continent who can refine the Infant Transformation Pill. The one with the highest success rate is less than 40%, with only three or four out of ten furnaces producing three to four pills in each furnace.
Theoretically, an alchemist who can refine the Infant Transformation Pill can refine more than ten pills every year. However, the reality is quite ironic, as the annual output of Infant Transformation Pills is less than ten.
The alchemists who can refine the Infant Transformation Pill in Dayu Continent can only refine less than twenty Infant Transformation Pills every year.
There is an alchemist in Dongzhizhou who can refine the Infant Transformation Pill, but his success rate is slightly low, less than 20%. He refines twenty furnaces of Infant Transformation Pill a year, but only six or seven pills are successful. Every year, the logistics department only releases one or two Infant Transformation Pills for exchange.
Even so, it still has an advantage over other prefectures. This is because of the military merit system in Dongzhi Prefecture. As long as the military merit reaches the redemption conditions, there is a chance to exchange for corresponding spiritual objects, elixirs, and treasures. You just need to queue up to exchange.
Other provinces, or sects and families in other continents, do not have the same system as Dongzhi Province. In other provinces, obtaining an Infant Transformation Pill is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Shi Chen needs to accumulate enough military merits to exchange for the recipe and elixir of the Infant Transformation Pill.
The annual output of the elixir for the Infant Transformation Pill is limited. Dongzhizhou has about fifty of them on the military merit exchange list every year. The royal fifth-level alchemist will use up twenty of them, and the remaining thirty or so will be exchanged by the third and fourth-level alchemists for practice.
If Shi Chen wants to get a share of these thirty spiritual medicines, he needs to contribute enough pills as an alchemist and demonstrate his alchemy ability to reach the level of a third-level alchemist or above.
Only by applying for certification as an alchemist can one compete with other alchemists for a share of the Infant Transformation Pill.
Shi Chen applied for certification as a third- and fourth-level alchemist, and the certification arrangement was quickly issued, taking only three days.
Under the military system, the certification of the Hundred Arts Grade is quite simple. Out of ten furnaces of elixirs, three furnaces are full of successful pills, and if there are more than three pills in each furnace, the certification is passed.
Shi Chen spent five days refining the elixir in front of several alchemists who were testing him. He completed five furnaces of third-level elixir and five furnaces of fourth-level elixir. He completed four furnaces of third-level elixir and three furnaces of fourth-level elixir. He successfully passed the test and obtained the fourth-level alchemist token.
To obtain enough military merits to exchange for the recipe for the Infant Transformation Pill, one needs to refine five furnaces of pills used in the Golden Core Stage every day. The success rate must reach more than 90%, and the number of successful pills must be no less than eight. It will take a year to complete the process.
The success rate of ordinary alchemists is 60%. They can normally refine one or two furnaces a day. It takes three to four years to accumulate military merits before they can exchange them for the pill formula.
To refine the Infant Transformation Pill, one needs to study the pill formula and practice, and also needs to practice with about a hundred spiritual medicines before one can have a stable output of pills.
One hundred portions of the Infant Transformation Pill are worth one thousand military merits each, totaling one hundred thousand military merits in total.
In order to produce the Infant Transformation Pill, the initial investment would require 300,000 military merits.
When war breaks out, military merit calculations will be doubled, allowing for the conditions to quickly earn military merit. Normally, it takes five to ten years to earn military merit.
A single Infant Transformation Pill costs 30,000 military merits; this is the price in Dongzhi Prefecture. In other prefectures or mainland sects, even 100,000 low-grade spirit stones would be hard to come by.
Shi Chen asked Liang Ruyan to apply for transfer, on the grounds that she would be stationed in Wangdao Fairy City as a fourth-level alchemist.
Before leaving Linyang Immortal City, apply for a share of the Infant Transformation Pill, which can only be applied for by alchemists of level three or above.
Because of the war, human cultivators gathered in Dongzhizhou, and many spiritual medicines were exchanged for military merits.
In the past, there were about fifty spiritual medicines every year, but now there are about one hundred every year. Shi Chen is also among the twelve alchemists who have applied for spiritual medicines.
Obtain share approval, five copies per year.
