Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Zhao Yu transmigrated to the body of a down-and-out loose cultivator in the Canglong Mountain range of the Cultivation World, and discovered that he had awakened the ability to devour the Dao fruits, which allowed him to enhance his cultivation talent by consuming heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as elixirs. Ultimately, through the power of devouring the path's fruit and his own efforts, he became a colossus in the world of immortals.

Chapter 26: Superior Yellow Spirit Pill

Su Bingyun said slowly, "By killing it for me, you're avenging me! If it weren't for this monster, Elder Yun wouldn't have been fatally wounded and died. Things wouldn't have turned out this way! Consider the carcass of this demon beast as your reward."

Zhao Yu replied, "Thank you!"

Under Su Bingyun's orders, several cultivators came over to Zhao Yu's side to help him dissect the Second-Order Snake Demon.

"This is an inner core! A demon beast inner core! With this Demon Snake Inner Pill, I now have two Second-order Low-grade Demon Beast Inner Pills! As long as I gather some auxiliary materials, when I improve my Alchemy, I can refine two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills!"

Zhao Yu pulled out an inner core from the belly of the Second-Order Snake Demon, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

A cultivator at the Seventh Level of Qi Refining, who seemed very warm-hearted, approached proactively and said, "Daoist Zhao, could you sell me that demon beast inner core? I'll offer two thousand Spirit Stones!!"

Zhao Yu replied indifferently, "Daoist Musong, I'm not in need of Spirit Stones. I won't sell this demon beast inner core!"

Such Second-order Low-grade Demon Beast Inner Pills almost never appear in Market shops. They typically fall into the hands of the Great Sects and various Foundation Establishment families, or occasionally show up at auctions.

Just having one Demon Beast Inner Pill can enable one to participate in the cooperative refinement of Foundation Establishment Pills with other forces. An Foundation Establishment Pill typically fetches over ten thousand Spirit Stones at auction. One can imagine the value of that Demon Beast Inner Pill.

The smile on Daoist Musong's face disappeared as the powerful spiritual pressure of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator began to slowly unfold around him, "Daoist Zhao, if you sell me this inner core, I'll owe you a favor! If one day I succeed in Foundation Establishment, I will surely find you a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Zhao Yu said, "I won't sell!"

"Fine! Fine!"

A flash of coldness passed through Daoist Musong's eyes as he turned and left.

A cultivator who looked very honest and was at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining, Sun Yaozhen, warned, "Daoist Zhao, be careful. Daoist Musong is known to be narrow-minded. By rejecting him like this, he will surely harbor resentment!"

Zhao Yu replied, "Daoist Sun, I understand!"

Zhao Yu had Su Bingyun's support. Even if those late-stage Qi Refining cultivators looked down on him, they had no choice but to swallow their pride.

The fact that Su Bingyun had easily massacred the four major factions demonstrated her ruthless side to the cultivators in the Black Hill Market, naturally deterring them from provoking someone valued by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Every late-stage Qi Refining cultivator in the Black Hill Market had perished under Su Bingyun's Fire Crow Mirror, and Daoist Musong was merely a Seventh Level Qi Refining cultivator. If he showed any sign of hostility, Zhao Yu was ready to send him on his way too.

Zhao Yu looked at the massive amount of Demon Beast Meat, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement, "Fifteen thousand pounds! If I could sell all this Demon Beast Meat at the price of one Spirit Stone per pound, I would make a fortune!"

Although in the meat shop, one pound of Second-Order Demon Beast Meat could be sold for one Spirit Stone, it was impossible to sell that much Second-Order Demon Beast Meat for fifteen thousand Spirit Stones to a meat shop.

That's because one pound of Second-Order Demon Beast Meat for one Spirit Stone is still too expensive, and most Loose Cultivators can't afford it.

In the meat shops of the Black Hill Market, it's rare to sell even a thousand pounds of Second-Order Demon Beast Meat in a year.

Zhao Yu pondered, "Although I can't sell all this Second-Order Demon Beast Meat, I can eat it myself or use it to refine a Second-order Low-grade Fiery Blood Beast Pattern Pill!"

The primary ingredient for the Second-order Low-grade Fiery Blood Beast Pattern Pill is the flesh and blood of a Second-Order Demon Beast. Such Spirit Pills can greatly enhance the blood and qi of a cultivator, repair and nourish their internal organs, and are highly effective for Body Cultivators.

However, considering the small number of Body Cultivators in the Northern Desolate, these Second-Order Spirit Pills, such as the Fiery Blood Beast Pattern Pill, are doomed to be hard to sell.

Zhao Yu gave the materials from the Second-Order Snake Demon and two thousand pounds of Demon Beast Meat to Su Bingyun, then headed to the kitchen of the Cangling Sect Law Enforcement Team to start preparing a feast.

"See that? You need to add rock sugar to enhance the flavor! Then, you add Spirit Oyster Soy Sauce for a quick stir-fry..."

In the kitchen, Zhao Yu was cooking Second-Order Demon Snake meat while teaching Li Xianjiao culinary skills.

Even if Li Xianjiao were to become a Golden Core Ancestor in the future, for the next few years she'd have to obediently play the role of Zhao Yu's little kitchen maid. An unevolved genius could only be a kitchen maid!

Li Xianjiao was exceptionally intelligent, and she memorized everything Zhao Yu taught her after just one lesson.

"Dinner's ready!"

After Zhao Yu served dishes like braised Second-Order Demon Snake meat, demon snake soup stew, snake meatballs, and steamed snake meat one after another.

It was only then that Su Bingyun, who had been reading by the side, ethereal and detached, put down her book and sat down at the dining table.

In front of Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator Su Bingyun, Zhao Yu could only humbly assume the role of a chef.

"This is delicious! It's truly meat from a Second-Order Snake Demon!"

After biting into a piece of the braised Snake Demon meat, Zhao Yu found the meat crispy and bouncy, with a burst of sweetness, utterly delicious. After chewing, he swallowed it, and warmth spread through his body, making him feel extremely comfortable and opening up his appetite.

"Low-grade Poisonous Spiritual Root (2/100)."

"Second-Order Snake Demon meat is really nourishing! Normally, I can eat thirty pounds of demon beast meat in one meal, but I can only eat two pounds at most of Second-Order demon beast meat. However, eating one meal can improve my Poisonous Spiritual Root by two points. At this rate, my first Spiritual Root to advance might end up being the Poisonous Spiritual Root!!"

"And yet the Spiritual Root I most want to improve is my Earth Spirit Root!"

Zhao Yu looked at the newly born Poisonous Spiritual Root and couldn't help feeling a bit speechless.

Half a month later, in the Quiet Room.

"My Yellow Spirit Pill Alchemy has finally reached the point of breakthrough. I wonder what kind of surprise this breakthrough will bring me?"

With a thought, Zhao Yu tapped on his Yellow Spirit Pill Alchemy, which was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Countless experiences and secrets regarding the refinement of Yellow Spirit Pills flooded into Zhao Yu's mind, leaving no more mysteries for him about their refinement.

"Alchemy Cultivation Level: First-order Low-grade (50/100)."

"Alchemy — Yellow Spirit Pill: Grandmaster."

"Yellow Spirit Pills refined by a Grandmaster-level Alchemy are 30% more effective than those refined by a Master-level, comparable to an ordinary Second-Order Spirit Pill. In addition, the inner pill toxin of a Grandmaster-level Yellow Spirit Pill is almost negligible, which can increase by 5% the chances of breaking through the bottleneck at the Middle Stage of Qi Refining. They can be taken in quick succession over a short period, and also reduce the resistance to the effects of Yellow Spirit Pills."

"If the Yellow Spirit Pills refined by a Master-level Alchemy could be considered Fine Quality Yellow Spirit Pills, then those refined by Grandmaster-level Alchemy should be classified as Superior Yellow Spirit Pills."

After his Yellow Spirit Pill Alchemy reached the Grandmaster level, Zhao Yu could understand the medicinal properties even without taking Grandmaster-level Yellow Spirit Pills.

Zhao Yu's lips curved up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, "With Superior Yellow Spirit Pills, even in places with scarce Spiritual Power, I will be able to cultivate!"

Zhao Yu relied on consuming vast amounts of Yellow Spirit Pills to improve his Cultivation Level. Although he was immune to the poison because he had absorbed the power of Dao Fruits, his body had developed resistance, and the effectiveness of the Yellow Spirit Pills was diminishing. With Superior Yellow Spirit Pills, his Cultivation Level could swiftly increase for a while.
