Chapter 59: First cultivation run
This is the end of all the items in the game mall. Although there were some surprises, most of the items were as Xu Qianghua had remembered.
This is because he did not look much into the game mall in his last life. But after the game merged, someone had compiled the information of all the items in the game mall for the people who did not play the game.
He came out of the mall section and went to his abode, which is in the bottom center of his screen. It has an image of a human cultivator sitting cross-legged with a Yin-Yang symbol behind him rotating.
As soon as he tapped on the cultivator, the person in the game opened his eyes, and the game screen flashed as it changed to an area with only his avatar sitting cross-legged and nothing else.
This is the abode that every player receives before the game is merged. This is something the World's Will created to house the avatars which have the actual cultivation base of the player.
This avatar later merges with the real body as the world changes, resulting in the player receiving the cultivation and skills he had learned in the past three days without any discomfort.
Right now all he has to do is use the pills he bought from the mall so that the avatar can cleanse his body from the impurities.
And due to his avatar being in the special space created by the World's Will, the process was much more effective.
But he cannot do much as there is a limit to the number of pills taken by someone. This is because the body cannot handle all these ingredients coming into the body.
The ingredients themselves have some impurities as they are not created using just spiritual qi but instead, there are medicinal plants that are refined and then slowly made into these pills.
So as long as the alchemist is not high level, there will be some impurities left in the pills. These pills were not created by the World's Will but by the inhabitants of the game world or NPCs.
This is because the World's Will wanted to place some high-level people who would help before the players could stand on their own and create these items themselves.
In the Body-building realm, a cultivator can only consume around 5 pills a day.
This is a standard for everyone, but there are exceptions such as cultivators with special physiques that can either handle the impurities or destroy them as soon as they come into contact.
As cultivators move to the next realm, the number of pills that can be ingested increases by 5 pills.
However, the pills are divided into levels which correspond to the amount of impurities a single pill has.
The different levels of pills are:
Heavenly Purity Pills: Perfect pills with no impurities, considered the pinnacle of alchemy. It has a 1% chance from the pill bag.
Superior Purity Pills: Pills with minimal impurities, highly effective and sought after. It has a 9% chance from the pill bag.
Advanced Purity Pills: Pills with few impurities, are still powerful and valuable. It has a 20% chance from the pill bag.
Refined Essence Pills: Pills with some impurities, commonly used but still effective. It has a 30% chance from the pill bag.
Crude Essence Pills: Pills with high impurities are the least effective but still useful for lower-level cultivation. It has a 40% chance from the pill bag.
Xu Qianghua, who wanted to use the Heavenly Purity Pills for his first round of pills, opened 70 Body-building pill bags which had an average of 8 pills each.
The first 4 Heavenly Purity Pills were quick to come out which made him imagine how his rebirth had increased his luck, but the last pill shattered his imagination as it took 20 pill bags to open the last pill.
But what surprised him was that he received two Heavenly Purity Pills in the last bag. So in total, he received 6 Heavenly Purity Pills, 50 Superior Purity Pills, 112 Advanced Purity Pills, 168 Refined Essence Pills, and 224 Crude Essence Pills.
Later he will open some more bags so that he can have enough pills for his cultivation while leaving the rest unopened as he wants to find someone who is lucky to open the rest.
This is because people who are generally lucky tend to open more pills with the quality being above Refined Essence Pills.
But he did not know anyone who can be called lucky so he is hoping that someone from the summoned family members can be a lucky person.
After that, he used the 5 Heavenly Purity Pills on his avatar which boosted his cultivation levels in the Body-Building realm from level 1 to level 5 in the blink of an eye.
This is because of the potent medical power of the Heavenly Purity Pills which led his levels to soar.
But this will only happen in the lower levels, after the levels reach the late stage, which is level 6, the potency decreases as it takes more power.
This is because, at the beginning of the cleanse, the impurities are accumulated in our body through eating non-spiritual food items which have different amounts of impurities that stack up as we age.
This is also the reason why the younger generation has an easier time when they are cleansing their body compared to people who are above 50 years old.
And using pills the impurities are washed out of the body which is usually black stuff that comes out of the pores.
For young people the amount is far less than people who are old, however, when the world changes the World's Will helps out the old people by using some of its power to wash off a few layers of impurities so that they can live longer.
Xu Qianghua knew this because this happened to Grandma Su who later told him the reason why many old people became one of the leading pillars in some of the forces all around the world.
While he was thinking about this, he saw Su Meixue leave the room and walk towards the kitchen.
Xu Qianghua who saw this had a wicked smile as he also got up and followed her towards the kitchen.
The other ladies who saw this either smiled or just shook their heads as they went back to the game as they were not as proficient as Xu Qianghua who had memories from the past.
