Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the soft floor with his eyes slightly closed. He tried his best to restrain his spiritual thoughts and tried to use his spiritual thoughts as a pen to outline a mysterious pattern composed of countless complicated lines in his mind.
But the strange thing is that in daily use, his mind, which is like an arm and a finger, is not a little unable to draw this pattern. No matter how hard he tries, he can't even draw the first line.
He tried for a while without believing in evil, until he felt that his spiritual energy was exhausted due to excessive consumption, and he was forced to stop.
Sure enough, unless one's spiritual thoughts are strong enough, there is no way to start practicing the "Forging God Art".
The pattern he tried to outline just now was one of the nine images in the "Forging the Art of God" recorded in the second half of "The Art of Tongshen".
It is said that only after spiritual consciousness reaches a certain level can you start practicing, but based on his performance just now, it is obvious that he is still far from it!
After meditating for a while and realizing that half of the spiritual energy he had just consumed had recovered, Gao Yuan put on the exile mask and quickly entered the exclusive secret room.
As soon as he regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was the transmission note floating in the secret room. The latter floated over on his own initiative after he appeared.
"Dear Exile, the intelligence collection task you posted "Task Number: Ding 565" has been submitted and completed. Please check the details in the task area!"
Gao Yuan looked happy and immediately came to the desk nearby. After looking at the information display stone wall with his spiritual thoughts, he quickly saw an answer:
"Demon Silver Grass, the ancient name for Magic Pattern Grass, is a specialty material of the gray desert. It is more common in areas where high-level monsters are active, and is also distributed in small amounts in areas where medium-level monsters are active.
It is one of the main materials for many second-level rare elixirs, and all major forces are purchasing it in large quantities, so it rarely appears in areas outside the Gray Desert."
Looking at this brief message, Gao Yuan suddenly understood. No wonder he had never found anything related to the magic silver grass. It turned out that the title was wrong!
Ancient name? Why are the parties recorded in the body-refining jade slip written with ancient names? Could it be that this jade slip is still an antique?
He muttered to himself, and then used the search function to search for the magic silver grass and magic pattern grass in the trading area. As expected, there was no relevant information.
It seems that as described in the piece of information just now, magic grass is indeed very rare in areas outside the gray desert!
He didn't pay much attention to this. He now had the location distribution information of the magic grass. At worst, he could just go search for it in the gray desert. Then he changed the keywords and selected and purchased a large number of ores.
To be honest, this search function is really convenient. With this function, he no longer has to go to the trading area and check the scrolling information on the stone tablets one by one!
With just one keyword, he can call up all related items on sale in the trading area, which greatly improved his shopping efficiency!
Then he thought about it, offered a reward of 200 intermediate spiritual stones, issued a mission to collect information about Gray Desert, and then withdrew from the Exile camp.
Returning to reality, he went straight to the puppet workshop, activated the cross-border disk, extracted the batch of ores he had just purchased, and then stacked them in the warehouse area in a corner of the workshop.
After being promoted to Xuan-level authority, every time he entered the Exile camp, he would use the search function to check the transaction information of more than 20 kinds of ores, and he would buy the ones with a suitable price.
Nothing more than making money.
Whether it is the alchemy furnace he has always wanted to buy or the 'Five Spiritual Jade' that he plans to use to refine the 'Qianyuan Order', he needs a huge amount of spiritual stones as support.
Even the spherical combat support puppet that he uses as a consumable, including the talismans stored in it, costs about 300 intermediate spiritual stones!
Therefore, it is imperative to find a stable source of spiritual stones, and refining device embryos is the most efficient way to make money that he discovered after some exploration!
After several successful transactions, he has basically understood the market conditions of the embryonic equipment market.
Now his efficiency in refining all kinds of embryos is almost the same, with an output of about twenty kilograms per hour.
If a top-grade artifact is refined, the net profit per kilogram will be around 2 intermediate spiritual stones. If the top grade can be refined, the net profit per kilogram will be tripled to around 6 intermediate spiritual stones!
Thanks to the master-level spirit-melting true flame, when Gao Yuan refines the weapon embryos at this time, there will be basically no quality below the top grade, and the chance of refining the best weapon embryos is more than 30%!
This also makes his income from refining the embryos extremely considerable. His hourly salary is guaranteed to be 40 intermediate spiritual stones. If he is lucky, he can get 120 intermediate spiritual stones in one hour!
If it weren't for the fact that the purchase of the ore was a matter of prestige, he would have planned to spend the whole night refining a wave of weapon embryos before the auction.
Despite this, after five days, his net worth once again increased by more than a thousand intermediate spiritual stones through refining the embryo!
…
Three more days later, after Gao Yuan increased the bounty reward of Bi Linghua to 300 intermediate spirit stones, he finally got the intelligence information of Bi Linghua as he wished.
"Biling flower, the ancient name of the vein-shaping flower, is a specialty material of the southern region and is distributed throughout the foggy swamp.
It can be taken directly to help Kaiyuan Realm monks expand their meridians. It can also be used as the main material for refining elixirs."
Another ancient name! At this point, Gao Yuan was somewhat convinced that the Jade Slip for Body Refining might really be an antique!
He tried searching the trading area using the keyword "Pulse Shaping Flower" and finally saw a large list of trading information:
"No. 5579, fifty Vein Shaping Flowers, one price of 865 intermediate spiritual stones, not sold in bulk!"
"No. 5655, Vein Shaping Flower. Each flower sells for twenty intermediate spirit stones. There are sixty-four flowers left!"
…
Gao Yuan quickly recalled the prescriptions recorded in the jade slip:
Ten century-old blood ginseng plants, three vein-shaping flowers, two clumps of magic silver grass, a second-level demon elixir of any attribute, and ten kilograms of second-level demon beast blood.
The unit price of the century-old blood ginseng in the Exile camp is around 80 low-level spiritual stones, and Gao Yuan has purchased hundreds of them before.
The average price of three Vein Shaping Flowers in the trading area is around 55 mid-level spiritual stones.
The price of a second-level demon elixir is generally around 150 intermediate spirit stones, and the price of ten pounds of demon beast blood is negligible.
Calculated in this way, excluding the magic silver grass, the cost of refining a furnace of the body refining elixir recorded in the jade slips should be around 213 intermediate spiritual stones!
According to the records in the elixir recipe, the number of elixirs in a batch is about 15-30.
Calculated in this way, the cost of one such elixir is at least 7 intermediate spirit stones, and this does not even include the price of the magic silver grass!
Gao Yuan was secretly stunned at this. When he was on earth, he heard that ancient times were poor in culture and rich in martial arts. He didn't expect that in this alien world, the consumption of body training would be so exaggerated!
But when I think about the improvement of my strength in the future, the small expenditure of spiritual stones is nothing.
