I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 209 This Was What It Meant to Spend Money Like Water!

Xue Bailong brought Chu Yunfan news about the Monster Cult. It was obvious that the cult would not let this opportunity slip through their fingers during the upcoming training session!

Chu Yunfan could sense the storm brewing was not as simple as Xue Bailong had put it. The fact that the cult had been active underground for so many years and had not been wiped out by the Federation Government was very telling. However, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to go. Moreover, the fact that the cult was eyeing Chu Qingxuan like a tiger made him feel uneasy. There was only half a month left until the training camp. By then, he would have to fight with all the young geniuses in Calm Ocean City, which was the strongest group of people in the city.

Unknowingly, he had reached this step!

He had to further improve his strength!

Chu Yunfan had recently entered the eighth level of the Qi Sea Stage. It was only a matter of time before he entered the ninth. He now had to make preparations to step into the Energy Refinement Stage. If the Qi Sea Stage was to consolidate one’s True Energy and strengthen the Qi Sea dantian, then the Energy Refinement Stage was to purify one’s True Energy so that it could be wielded like an extra limb. That was what it meant by “energy refinement.”

When one reached the Energy Refinement Stage, the power of their True Energy would reach a greater height and undergo various changes. It would not be difficult to leap eaves and walk walls, and even cross mountains and rivers. One could even shoot True Energy out like needles. In other words, the Qi Sea Stage mainly focused on quantity, while the Energy Refinement Stage focused on quality. This was the clear dividing line.

And in the Alchemy Emperor’s memories, there was another kind of pill called the Qi Condensing Pill, which was meant to be used by Energy Refinement Stage cultivators. By relying on this pill, coupled with bitter cultivation, Chu Yunfan had full confidence in breaking through to the Energy Refinement Stage very soon.

However, Qi Condensing Pills were not cheap. After cutting out labor costs, Chu Yunfan still had to spend three million yuan to concoct even one pill. The Qi Condensing Pills sold on the market were all flawed. There was no guarantee that one would be able to break through after consuming them. Some even needed to be consumed several times before the user could break through. But even so, the price of these pills remained high. Of course, ordinary people could not afford such an item. But for the children of wealthy families, this price was nothing. As long as they could break through to the Energy Refinement Stage, spending a little more money was nothing.

Moreover, even after breaking through to the Energy Refinement Stage, one could continue consuming Qi Condensing Pills to purify their True Energy. Therefore, there had always been a short supply of Qi Condensing Pills as they were very popular.

Chu Yunfan planned to concoct ten of them in one sitting. He still had tens of millions to spare after selling the Threetail Silver Fox. He decided to put aside 20 million for his parents to buy some medicinal pills, secret manuals, and weapons for Chu Qingxuan to support her practice. His parents could also use the money as they saw fit. After that, he still had more than 50 million on hand, and refining ten Qi Condensing Pills only cost 30 million, so he still had more than 20 million left.

Apart from that, Chu Yunfan was searching for a weighted suit on the internet. This was equipment that he could use during training in the future. Weighted suits were equipment that many martial artists used during their training. It was very popular.

He looked around and found that the weighted suits at the lowest level of 100,000 yuan to just a couple million were considered relatively low-leveled. Weighted suits of this level were weighed down by adding heavy objects.

However, starting from weighted suits at the 10 million level, it was not weighted by adding heavy objects, but by increasing the gravity force. It would double the Earth’s gravity. One could imagine the effect of this training

It was said that special gravity chambers could be found at universities. In these rooms, one could double gravity and use it to train. However, weighted suits were only meant for one person. The technology contained in them was more sophisticated, so the price was extremely high. Ten million was just the starting point. It was something for the rich. Commoners would not be able to afford it. Chu Yunfan had once seen this weighted suit on Liu Yushu previously.

Chu Yunfan thought about it and found that he only had around 20 million left. He could only afford a normal weighted suit. He selected one that was made by Great Qin Industries. It was a thin piece and only weighed about half a pound. It could be worn under clothes without being seen. Apart from being able to freely adjust gravity, it also had good defensive attributes, and even the great figures of the Common Era could not pierce through this suit. It was the same as wearing armor that had good defensive abilities. Its only drawback was that it did not cover the entire body and could only be considered inner armor. Otherwise, this weighted suit would not have been able to command such a high price.

The weighted suit that Chu Yunfan selected could be adjusted from 0.1 to 3 times the gravity. It could be freely adjusted. A truly good weighted suit could go for hundreds of millions of dollars. Those suits could be adjusted to more than ten times the gravity. It was comparable to those gravity chambers that were used for training. In one night, Chu Yunfan spent all the money he had and was left with less than three million dollars. In the beginning, when spending money like water, Chu Yunfan felt his heart ache. However, in this short period, he had casually spent nearly two hundred million, and his heart had become numb.

So that was how rich people spent money!

There was always news about rich people buying cars that cost a few million. Now that he thought about it, this was nothing. When it came to real cultivation, spending money was like using water.

The next day, the weighted suit was delivered. According to Chu Yunfan’s request, they were all black. He immediately put them on. He started at double the gravity. As soon as he turned on the switch, he immediately felt the whole world become heavier. His body felt a heaviness that he was unaccustomed to. If he was not at the Qi Sea Stage, it probably would have made him collapse on the spot.

Chu Yunfan immediately tested it out. After performing a set of Roaring Winds Saber Technique, he looked like a fish that had just been fished out of the water. He panted heavily and his entire body was soaked in sweat.

Although it was only double the gravity, Chu Yunfan could feel that whatever he did, it would consume several times more energy than usual. The amount of physical strength consumed increased exponentially. It was not as simple as doubling his energy output.

The effect was immediate. In a short while, his energy had been completely depleted. Normally, it would take him a lot of time to achieve this effect, but he had now achieved it in just a few seconds.

After his energy had been depleted, he could clearly feel his energy increase when he recovered.

“This is great stuff!”
