Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Qi Refinement Level 5 (Additional, ask for follow-up reading!)_1

In the Immortal Cultivation World, Spirit Stones are money.

That stuff can’t be eaten or drunk, and despite the immense Spirit Qi it contains, it is full of impurities.

Cultivators wouldn’t dare to directly absorb it unless they were on the brink of life and death,

Most of the time, it’s used by powerful factions to activate Arrays and wield large Magic Items.

As for the rumored Top Grade Spirit Stone, the Spirit Qi inside has condensed to a stage of unparalleled purity, which cultivators can directly absorb.

However, such a good thing isn’t something ordinary cultivators can reach.

Leaving aside Top Grade Spirit Stones, normal Spirit Stones could indeed be used as a universal currency due to their rarity.

Moreover, the right to issue this currency is basically in the hands of the Great Sects.

The reason is simple, the stronger the Sect, the better the Spirit Veins they can occupy.

And Spirit Stones are produced from various types of Spirit Veins.

As for currency, it actually holds no real value on Earth.

It is more a reflection of a country’s credit, which comes from a strong national power and abundant resources.

When a country goes bankrupt, its currency becomes just a stack of waste paper.

The same principle applies in the Immortal Cultivation World.

The Sects are extremely powerful, so when they settled on using ”Spirit Stone” as the unit of their cultivation resources, ordinary cultivators had no choice but to accept.

Not only do they accept it, but they also go all out to earn as many Spirit Stones as possible.

The struggle between the Great Lake Gang and the Broken Mountain Gang is for the resources in the mountain, which represent the coveted Spirit Stones.

And now, the Gang Leader of the Great Lake Gang, Wang Haichao, had a weary expression as he saw off a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

”Finally, that’s settled.”

”As long as we win the life-death battle the day after tomorrow and control the mountain resources, the Lianyun Business Union will hand over the waterway transportation of the other four districts to us.”

Below him, astonishingly was the second-in-command of the Great Lake Gang, Gao Tingyuan.

Upon hearing this, Gao Tingyuan couldn’t help but feel extremely excited.

Just the waterway transportation in The Great River District earned the Great Lake Gang a fortune, even enough to sustain the daily cultivation of Wang Haichao, who was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If they could manage the waterway transportation of the other four districts, how much would the Great Lake Gang earn?

At least it could support one to two more Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Seeing his excitement, Wang Haichao imperceptibly furrowed his brow, but soon revealed a smile.

”Xiao Gao, you’ve been with me for so long, it hasn’t been easy.”

”Once we get the rights to the four waterway routes, I will do my best to buy you a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Gao Tingyuan was overjoyed and quickly bowed his body.

”To work for the boss, I would put my life on the line!”

Wang Haichao tugged at the corner of his mouth and didn’t mention it further, but changed the topic.

”How about it, do you have any confidence in the life-death fight the day after tomorrow?”

The list of eighteen members for the Dao Debate Platform life-death fight had already been submitted.

However, the order of the fight was still a secret.

In other words, Gao Tingyuan might encounter the Broken Blade Xu Renke as well as the Broken Mountain Seven Tigers.

As it involved life and death, Gao Tingyuan retracted his joyous expression and turned serious.

”As long as I don’t run into Broken Blade Xu Renke, I won’t lose!”

Wang Haichao understood this very well.

Xiao Gao was very strong, especially in the Great River, hence he earned the title of Jiang Dragon.

But the Dao Debate Platform was a restricted environment, if he encountered the opponent, he would likely be defeated.

”Are you sure you have a chance against the others?” Wang Haichao asked.

Gao Tingyuan confidently said, ”Apart from Broken Blade Xu Renke, I’m not afraid of anyone, not even the Heart-Eating Tiger, Downhill Tiger, and Sick Tiger.”

”What about the Broken Jade Tiger?”

”Haha, just a greenhorn.”

”No, I’m talking about the previous Broken Jade Tiger.”

Gao Tingyuan was startled, ”Did he return?”
