Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 - New function testing

[Optimization Function]

{Formula needed to be optimized}

{5 low-quality grade spiritual stones}

(Note: quality of spiritual increase per grade of formula)

[Automatic pill optimization recommendation]

(Extra spiritual stone needed)

The screen displayed the following words. A box also was there to put the formula, and a button 'optimize' was at the bottom of the screen.

"Hmm" Just as he was thinking of which pill formula to optimize to test this function, a small box appeared before him.

[Recommendation pill formula optimization]

[1. Qi Refining Pill - Low-Grade Pill formula - 3 hours - 5 low-quality spiritual stones]

[2. Minor Healing Pill - Low-Grade Pill formula - 3 hours - 5 Low-Quality Spiritual stone]

[3. Small healing pill concoction - Low-Grade pill formula - 5 hours - 1 Medium-Quality Spiritual Stone]

..

The rows of the optimization menu stunned Liu Xin for Moment. "It's so cheap." For someone who owns many high-grade spiritual stones, this amount of stone couldn't even be put in his eyes.

He clicked on all the pill formulas and the optimization menu appeared.

[5 low-grade spiritual stones consumed]

[Optimization began…]

[Time remaining: 2:59:28]

[5 low-grade spiritual stones consumed]

[Optimization queuing…]

[1 middle-grade spiritual stone consumed]

[Optimization queuing…]

As the list appeared, Liu Xin looked at his storage ring, and an amazed expression appeared on his face.

"My one high-quality stone changed into hundreds of low-quality stones." He didn't even feel anything and his spiritual stones disintegrated without him even knowing.

"Hmm, what's this online store?" He clicked on that icon.

[Supreme Online Cultivation Store]

[Store Level: 1]

A list appeared before him. Name, type and cost were displayed.

[Name] | [Type] | [Cost]

Black Iron Sharp Sword | Weapon | 100

Supreme Cultivator Defensive Robe | Armor | 150

"hmm…" Liu Xin clicked on the first item to see how much it cost.

[Black Iron Supreme Sharp Sword]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Upper-Grade]

[Cost: 100 High-Quality Spiritual Stones]

[Effect: The sharpness of the sword can even cut the defence of the golden core cultivator. As the sword is light, even a normal person can use it.]

"...What's the cheapest item in the sword?" The price was so high, Liu Xin pretended he didn't see it.

The store was more advanced than he thought. There was even a filter option. He could manage the range of costs.

He set the price to around 0 - 50 spiritual stones.

[No item found at this price range.]

"Damnnn! What a money-grumbler system." He sighed.

"oh yeah, I have an appraisal system too…" He decided to check that.

He clicked on the cultivation icon in his home and clicked on a random martial art.

[Water Flow Defense]

[Type: Defense]

[Quality: Low-Grade Defensive Art]

[Effect: Your qi will have characteristics of water and flow in front of you, which softens the enemy attack and protects you from danger.]

"This function will come in handy." He then checked the martial art he had just recently downloaded.

[Fiery Palm Technique]

[Type: Attack]

[Quality: Upper-Grade Offensive Art]

[Effect: Your qi turns into a flame and burns in your palm. After successfully striking the opponent with your palm, the attacked part will be burnt. This attack also greatly pushes the enemy back. If the enemy is weak, his bones would break and could then die on the spot.]

Looking at the description, he felt joy. He didn't even realize and already learnt upper-grade techniques which would take years for someone to comprehend.

He knows how to use it but he hasn't any comprehension of the technique. It's like reciting a line from a book. He can remember and recite but can't explain it as he hadn't understood it.

Similarly, he knows how to use this technique but hasn't understood anything about it. Meaning, he has not comprehended it and just recited it.

It's just weird but it can be understood in another way.

It's like software. The arts are software which he downloaded directly and can use but doesn't know the development process.

While other programmers have to code the software from scratch. They had to write the code line by line with their understanding. After barely writing some working code they could use some part of the software and have to refine the code again and again to access the maximum function of the software.

Sighing, Liu Xin sat in a meditative position and cultivated for a while. He circulated spirit cleansing and body hardening techniques.

Unlike others who start from scratch and clean the spirit bit by bit, Liu Xin who had full access to the technique directly cleansed every part of his spirit.

But that caused him a huge amount of qi and a huge pain in the body.

"Arg!" He gritted his teeth as sweat dripped on his face. Panting heavily, he barely lay on the bed.

But that wasn't the end, he ate the energy-filling pill and experienced another hellish pain as body hardening technique hardened his body.

It felt like his skin was torn apart, fire burning his skin and needles pricking in every part of his body.

After a full hour, he lay on his bed panting heavily. His body was full. of sweat but a smile appeared on his face.

Black liquid covered his whole body which stinks like shit. If anybody even smells a bit of this, they would surely fall unconscious and never want to be near him.

"Damn, this stinks." He barely got up and went to shower.

After bathing for nearly 30 minutes, working hard to get rid of the stink, he got out of the bathroom and sat on his bed.

His cultivation has reached the middle of the upper Qi refining stage. He had broken to the upper qi refining stage in his sleep and the technique he used boosted his cultivation to the middle.

"I want to use the formation building pill to have more success in breaking through the formation building stage. While I know the recipe of the pill, I don't have its pill formula, I only know the ingredients but not the process."

So, he walked to the sect library and searched if there was any formula for the pill. Of course, the formula of pills from lower to upper grade is publicly distributed so much alchemy can be found.

What's the use of the pill formula if there is no alchemist to refine the pill? So pill formulas are distributed openly, so whoever wants to refine the pill can refine it. This way, the flow of pills in the market won't stop and someone could discover their talent in alchemy.

Using this method, the alchemist sect recruited many alchemists. Obviously, Some pill formulas are kept secret by the sect

Who would just distribute everything to the public?

Fortunately, he found the pill formula he was looking for. It was a top low-grade pill formula, which was kept randomly on the library shelves.

He downloaded the data and doesn't even need to care about it, as his system will do the task.

"Let's gather some materials too and check my strength too." Liu Xin wanted to check his strength, as he had not battled with anything or anyone.
