This effectiveness is bring about an early Tribulation

1st August 2020, Saturday.

At 01.20 am.

Gunungjati Peak.

After strolling around within the peak. He decides no one around, before running straight toward the so called Grotto Heaven.

Without any further ado, Lin Hang literally crawls inside. His eyes directly pointed at stalagmite.

Last time, he didn't dare to bring it carelessly nor drink it directly. But, he has come prepared today.

He carefully filled a glass bottle with liquid from stalagmite.

"Huh? Is this thing here before?" murmured him looking at a transparent jelly-like pill.

He holds his urge to take that thing and continue filling the bottle with a spoon.

At last, he was able to procure around 200ml of Spiritual Milky Marrow.

Then.

He checked on the transparent half baked pill.

What is this thing?

It wasn't alchemy pill, either way, it also wasn't a beast core pill too.

"This was somehow related to Spiritual Milky Marrow. This energy concentrates inside a few point denser than the given out from the bottle. Maybe... Because, it was crystallized version?"

After pondering for a while he comes up with a name. "Let's call it Spirit Crystalite Pill."

As it looked like the crystalline state of world spiritual energy, he just casually found a random name for it.

But for unknown reasons, he somehow deeply attracted to it.

You could say, if you put a dried fish before a cat or directly think about a thin man in a hungry state found delicious food with complete vitamin and calories.

Glup~

Unknown for him how many times already he gulped down a mouthful saliva.

It looked more delicious than a beef burger he bought last time.

Lin Hang throws Spirit Crystalite Pill toward his mouth with an "Amph!".

Bzz...

A cool sensation spread all over his mouth down directly to his dantian area.

In a few seconds, his Spirit Qi Storage flooded with energy.

100, 200, 300... 1.000, 2.000...

He could feel a pain assaulting him from his dantian area.

10.000... 11.000... 12.000... It still didn't stop anywhere near.

The pain inside his dantian area rose higher and higher, if this continues who know if he truly exploded from excessive Spirit Qi consumption.

While his Spirit Qi rose up, his Cutivation Base also rose up like a rocket accordingly.

Lin Hang hastily refines his Five Element Spiritual Roots.

Broken Lv.7

...

Broken Lv.10

Poor Rank Lv.11

Poor Rank Lv.12

Poor Rank Lv.13

At this time he could feel his pain already reduces greatly. Of course a bit stinging pain still lingering inside as he couldn't upgrade his roots anymore with the leftover Spirit Qi.

Just when he was about to check his Cultivation Base. His bottleneck loosens like a toilet paper. He unknowingly pushes his cultivation base forward.

He breakthrough Foundation Realm four stages at once.

2nd Stage, 3rd Stage, and stopped at 5th Stage.

A thick small black cloud suddenly appeared a few meters above him.

Goro, Goro, Goro!

A flash of lightning illuminating the cave.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

It was four strike clear of Lightning Tribulation, a small version for the correct definition of it.

And like before.

Lin Hang burned by four lightning in a row.

After cleaning himself, he could only wear down the pair of pants and shirt that he wanted to return back.

"Huh~ Why didn't I bring more clothes."

Lamenting his foolishness, Lin Hang hurriedly checked his stats.

...

His cultivation efficiency is really high even after calculating average input.

Seems his hypotheses about the relation between Spiritual Roots and bottleneck hit on the right.

After he refine and upgrade his spiritual roots to Poor Rank, he was able to breakthrough next stage directly.

Then the more he needs in gold and merit to buy something for upgrading Spirit Qi Gathering Array within his dantian.

Maybe only Lin Hang himself, has the strangest thing like array inside his dantian to upgrade his spiritual roots. Not to mention he could breakthrough his cultivation level like walking in the park.

Only...

"I never thought a half-baked pill would have such effectiveness. This effectiveness has brought about an early Tribulation for poor body of mine. Hiks, hiks..."

Lin Hang throws his burned clothes before putting everything else in his Storage Ring. It only has limited space inside, but for him, it's already more than enough to store everything from his house in it.

Naturally, he would be troubled if his Storage Ring is too full of unrelated things. He couldn't put and pick things inside easily at that time, even he arranges the things carefully.

As him going back home, looking at his shirt and pants. He couldn't return these things again.

"Whatever, I just need to go back another day. At most I would buy him a new set before leaving it with a letter of apology."

This guy is really through and throughout a good guy in his strange ways.

*****

The next three days.

He drills himself with a lot of burned pill compound inside the cauldron.

In the first three days, after he compensate the pair of pants and shirt he borrowed while leaving an apology letter and few money in twenty of thousand figure each.

He gathered normal herbs from nearby, trying to concoct and refine it inside the hidden cave.

The process is simple. He just needed to transfer his spiritual energy to the cauldron.

The cauldron heat would increase in itself after a few seconds. Then he put a fresh and clean herbs straightforwardly inside the cauldron.

As a result, the cauldron makes a small explosion and burned all the ordinary herbs inside. But he got a another result in his Idle Book.

If the first page of the book is Profile Stats. The 2nd and 3rd Page is two Basic Cultivation Technique. The 4-5th Page is Merit Store and Golden Trade. The 6-7th Page is Skills Gallery. Then 8th Page changes to Alchemy Talent.

[Alchemy Talent]

Alchemy Lv. 1 Mortal (blurred) Level; (Mastery: 2/100)

Cauldron: Ordinary Lv.1

[Recipe Gallery]

<Ordinary Lv.1> None

...

Haha!

Lin laughs his a*s off after looking at it.

If casually refining ordinary herbs would give him 2 points of mastery. However, each session needs him to refine herbs for 5 minutes before it exploded. Wouldn't he need at least doing it for more than 7 hours with all prep and cleaning stuff before able to refine true pill.

But, how about aged herbs? At this time, he could imagine a beautiful lady elegantly stand right before him.

Lin Hang thought, he could confidently say to Arum that his alchemy able to produce the real cultivation pill in two days.

He took his phone from the storage ring before finding her LiNE ID and send her a message. The content is, "Hello, Miss Arum. I would like to ask you if I could have a few herbs for training tomorrow. The herbs need to be at least aged for a few years. I need at least 20 sets of 3 kinds of herbs."

"Your Dear Friend. Lin Hang," written under it.

Without waiting her reply, he directly put his phone back to storage ring before cleaning the leftover burned compound.

After cleaning the cauldron, he tries to refine the ordinary herbs he got, again for another four times.

It took him about 30 minutes till he finished cleaning the last session.

"Fyuh~" exhaled him, leaning against cool cave wall.

It exerts him quite a lot of energy.

Normally, in another person case, refining a pill would take them a long time with small success rate. On average, refining a lower Mortal Level Pill would drain them a quarter of their spirit energy that would last around 2 hours.

On interval 10 minutes rest, they could continue refining pill for 3-4 session in a half day. Of course, this on prerequisite he has herbal assistant who help him cleaning and procure the needed herbs. When they succeed, the cauldron would filled with 2-4 pills at most.

For Master Alchemist, it is said, they could result in twice of the amount with half effort compared to Junior Alchemist. But Master Alchemist could only refine Earthen Level for 3-4 session at most.

As for Lin Hang, he is able to finish a session of refinement in 5 minutes to produce one pill. If his Alchemy Level is higher, then he should be able to finish it faster. Not to mention he could do refining 5 sessions in a row, alone.

After ten minutes, he drinks a mouthful of fresh water before looking at the Idle Book.

His alchemy mastery raised to 10 points.

Lin Hang nods after confirming his conjecture. Then, he opened a Merit Store page. He bought alchemy formulas for 10 merits and clean up the rest before return back home.

He couldn't wait for the morrow.
