Everyone is Cultivating Immortals in the Wasteland, My Cave is Full of Goddesses

9: Ordinary furnaceAs it was getting late, Li Ye had no intention of venturing deeper into the desert. He had a premonition that this was merely the outskirts of the desert, and if he went deeper, he might encounter even more powerful Yao Beasts.

Moreover, today’s food was sufficient. Currently, first-order Yao Beast meat was extremely precious because not many people could defeat Yao Beasts at this stage.

The two returned to the Immortal Cave side by side. Bai Jie was instantly stunned when she saw Li Ye’s Immortal Cave; it basically had everything.

There was a stone bed, a stone sofa, and a stone table that came with the cave, but there were also two stone stools around it.

Furthermore, a stone furnace was burning nearby, its flames making the entire Immortal Cave very warm.

This place truly had the atmosphere of a happy little home. Compared to Li Ye’s, her own Immortal Cave was just a slum.

Seeing Bai Jie’s satisfied expression, Li Ye cupped her face and kissed her deeply for a while, causing her to blush.

Her loyalty was also slowly increasing. He estimated that he would be able to receive the System’s reward in a few days, right?

”Are you hungry? Let’s eat first, then go to the trading market after dinner.”

Li Ye took out the Yao Beast meat. One piece was enough to satisfy their hunger, after all, that scorpion was so big.

It was just that Li Ye hadn’t eaten any vegetables these past few days, which made going to the bathroom a bit uncomfortable.

Of course, this was only in the early stage. Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, one could go without food, and over time, the value of food would decrease.

Of course, most people still needed food, because most people had Five Spiritual Roots or Useless Spiritual Roots. With those two Spiritual Roots, it would basically take decades to achieve Foundation Establishment.

Under Bai Jie’s expectant gaze, Li Ye placed two pieces of roasted meat into the stone furnace to cook.

She took out a stone pot and put Yao Beast bones and Yao Beast blood into it, placing it over the stone-encircled campfire to stew.

”It smells so good...”

Bai Jie said involuntarily as she smelled the meat.

”No matter how good it smells, it’s not as good as you. I wonder who hasn’t bathed in days and still carries an alluring body fragrance.”

Li Ye said as he embraced Bai Jie.

Seeing Li Ye act like a hooligan, Bai Jie blushed again.

Li Ye’s actions were all more or less aimed at increasing her loyalty; he wasn’t being lustful.

Soon, a bowl of fragrant bone soup and roasted Yao Beast meat were ready.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Bai Jie lay in Li Ye’s arms, while Li Ye checked the chat channel.

”Brothers, I hit the jackpot! I picked up fifteen Spirit Stones and have reached Qi Refining First Layer Perfection! However, Breakthrough from Qi Refining First Layer to Refining Qi Second Layer requires a Wash Marrow Pill. Does anyone have a Wash Marrow Pill?”

”Yeah, I have a Single Spiritual Root and reached First Layer Perfection long ago. If I don’t have the Medicinal Pill, according to the prompt, I’ll need at least two more weeks to polish my Foundation...”

”Hiss... I have a Four Spiritual Root and have also reached Qi Refining First Layer Perfection, but there’s no prompt that I can polish my Foundation...”

”Brother, is there a possibility that this is an advantage for those with Single Spiritual Roots and Dual Spiritual Roots?”

”How have you all finished Cultivating? I’ve been diligently Cultivating for days, and my progress isn’t even 5%.”

”Who among you is a Spirit Dan Master? I can buy it at a high price.”

”I found an introductory Spirit Dan Master Secret Manual, but it requires both Fire Spiritual Root and Wood Spiritual Root, so it’s useless to me. You can buy it from me at a high price.”

Li Ye looked for a long time and finally found useful information, then quickly sent him a private message.

Eternal Night: [How much for the Spirit Dan Master Secret Manual?]

Sexy Mother Cockroach: [Twenty-five pieces of bread.]

Bread and ordinary meat had become hard currency, and in the trading market, two pieces of bread could be exchanged for one piece of ordinary meat.

Yao Beast meat was even more valuable; one piece of Yao Beast meat could be exchanged for three pieces of ordinary meat.

Yao Beast meat provided a strong sense of fullness and could even slightly increase Cultivation progress.

Eternal Night: [How about four pieces of Yao Beast meat for the Spirit Dan Master Secret Manual?]

Sexy Mother Cockroach: [Deal.]

With a flash of light, three pieces of Yao Beast meat disappeared from Li Ye’s side, and then a green, blank book appeared in his hand.

[You have obtained the Spirit Dan Master Introductory Secret Manual. Do you wish to learn it?]

[Learn!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have become a Spirit Dan Master. You have obtained the Blood Stasis Removing Pill Pill Formula and the Wash Marrow Pill Pill Formula.]

[Ding! This Secret Manual has been used five times and is now damaged.]

Subsequently, on Li Ye’s interface, the gray-black Alchemy section was unlocked.

Li Ye didn’t pay attention. All Divine Ability Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Dan Master/Spiritual Artifact Refiner Secret Manuals could not be freely circulated; they would disappear after a maximum of five uses.

After all, this was to prevent everyone from forming groups and circulating all learned Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities. What would be the point of competition then?

The Alchemy interface was very simple, displaying only two types of Medicinal Pills.

Wash Marrow Pill Pill Formula: Scarlet Silk Grass × 3, Hengxin Grass × 1, Alchemy success rate: 5%.

Blood Stasis Removing Pill Pill Formula: Silver Moon Flower × 1, Flowing Firefly Grass × 1, Hengxin Grass × 1, Alchemy success rate: 5%.

(Note: Success rate can increase with the number of Alchemy attempts.)

Li Ye thought for a moment. Along the way, he had found a few Spiritual Plants.

He could try Alchemy right away.

[Refine Wash Marrow Pill.]

[No Pill Furnace. Alchemy success rate is 5%. Do you wish to proceed with Alchemy?]

A Pill Furnace can increase the success rate? Oh my god...

No wonder it’s so low right now.

Forget it for now. I’ll wait until I have a Pill Furnace.

Li Ye thought for a moment and wrote his request on the trading interface.

[Five pieces of Yao Beast meat for an ordinary Pill Furnace.]

[One piece of Yao Beast meat for 15 or fewer of the four types of Spiritual Plants shown in the pictures.]

...

Li Ye wanted to acquire as many Spiritual Plants as possible while people still didn’t recognize them.

Anyway, he wasn’t short on Yao Beast meat at the moment.

He hadn’t even finished the three-headed wolf from yesterday yet.

Before long, a message arrived.

Old Eight: [Brother, I have a Pill Furnace crafting recipe. Do you need it?]

Eternal Night: [A recipe? If it’s just a recipe, I can only exchange it for two pieces of Yao Beast meat.]

Old Eight: [Okay.]

Soon, a recipe appeared in Eternal Night’s hand.

[Ordinary Pill Furnace: Copper Ingot (0/20), Stone (0/30), Ordinary Pill Furnace Recipe × 1]

”It actually requires Copper Ingots? Who can get copper at this stage?!”

Li Ye was speechless. No wonder many people wanted to sell their recipes; many recipe ingredients were not obtainable in a short amount of time.

Even if they were available in the trading market, they would be very expensive.

He thought for a moment and still posted a request for Copper Ingots on the trading market.

However, with so many people, there really were some who could obtain strange and rare items.

I am a Moron: [Hello, I have Copper Ingots. Can I exchange them for some food?]

Eternal Night: [Yes, can I exchange two pieces of Yao Beast meat for 20 Copper Ingots?]

I am a Moron: [Uh... okay.]

Anyone with a brain knew that Copper Ingots refined before the Transmigration must be more valuable than food, but at this stage, the preciousness of food still ranked first.

Eternal Night: [May I ask where you got the Copper Ingots?]

I am a Moron: [My birthplace was next to a mine.]
