BXBX NOVEL Chapter 351: Power Grain Croton
The ten shadows were continuously hunting monsters, sea beasts, and other big fish of the mid-sea layer.
Given that the amount of resources in the North Sea was almost inexhaustible, Li Yunmu had not only formed a stable source of earning a large amount of experience and ability points every day, but he also obtained countless corpses of enormous beasts.
"System, how is the research and analysis of the croton going?"
By this time, Li Yunmu hadn’t gone out of the fiftieth room for two days. Even if Wang Yan had come to find him with great enthusiasm a few times, a do-not-disturb board had been outside his room, blocking everyone out.
After prevailing over several challengers, no one insisted on challenging Li Yunmu or looked to find trouble for him. After all, it was only the fiftieth room.
Its allure was far less than that of the front thirty rooms. No one was foolish enough to challenge a person whose strength was comparable to masters of the front ten rooms over the ownership of the fiftieth house.
Although no one thought that Li Yunmu’s strength was among the top ten flux experts of the fifteenth residential region, but they could still tell that he was a troublesome opponent. Thus, since he was hard bone which was difficult to swallow, the people stopped challenging him in the past two days.
Besides, given that Li Yunmu had taken the initiative to fight against five people in one day, it also meant that he had saved up five times the normal resting and reorganization period. One time resting period between two fights was seven days, so after five fights he had thirty-five days.
Thus, with more than a month at hand, he didn’t need to worry about any challengers who would come to find trouble for him. As long as he didn’t want to accept their challenge, he could easily hand the tile of resting phase and unwillingness to battle outside his room.
This way, even if others wanted to challenge him, they would be unable to do it.
A person not having to fight during the resting phase was one of the few rules of the sect.
Because of that, Li Yunmu was living quite an ideal life, but at the same time, he was also in an urgent need of a large amount of contribution points.
After investigating for the past few days, he had already found the secret strengthening method to complement the deficiency of his flux points. As he had predicted, there were indeed many methods pertaining to strengthening of the flux points. All of them had been researched for people with weak constitution.
It mainly done by the influential clans. Once in a while, one or two people with innately weak constitution and delicate flux points would appear in the influential clans, making them basically unable to learn any body refining methods, let alone cultivating flux energy.
Because of that, secret methods to strengthen flux points as well as innately weak constitutions, meridians, and so on came into being.
Among these methods, Li Yumu had been able to find two which were relatively suitable for him in the contribution point store of the fifteenth residential region.
However, their price was very high. In fact, it was excessively high. Even if they were mediocre methods to strengthen flux points, their price still reached five thousand contribution points.
Li Yunmu had to accept that this was a method created by influential clans. Ordinary flux experts would never be able to purchase it.
If Li Yunmu didn’t possess the ability to shadow hack, his head would probably burst from worry. Yet right then, he was just thinking about methods to earn money.
That’s right, methods to earn life points.
Based on his present skill, Li Yunmu found it impossible to quickly accumulate contribution points. But if speaking about life points, then he could go on an earning spree.
He could easily sell the countless corpses of sea beasts hunted by the ten shadows at ingredient and butcher shops to make a large amount of life points. This was one of his advantages which other people would never be able to replicate.
After all, who else had ten shadows who didn’t need to rest and didn’t know fatigue, just earning profit all day long?
[The analysis is already complete. This sort of croton indeed contains a large amount of blood essence filled with enormous vitality which is blessed with some medicinal liquid which has a natural gentle nature. This mixture has been refined with a sort of bean to produce this cereal.]
[Given that we possess the transcending sage tool Refining Pagoda, we should be able to refine a power grain similar to croton.]
After continuous analysis that lasted for two days, the system finally gave him a clear reply.
"Are you certain? Can we really refine this croton-like vegetation?"
Although Li Yunmu was prepared for this in his heart, it was still pounding incessantly because of the excitement after hearing the system’s positive reply.
The system pondered over it for a while, but still provided a positive reply. [According to the results of the calculation, there is a 97% possibility of succeeding in refining a croton. As long as we can obtain the required raw materials, it wo’t be a big problem.]
"That’s very good. Now put all your energy in analysing the various types of raw materials required to refine croton."
After a day and a night, the system with its increased efficiency after being upgraded to level five, was finally able to concretely analyze the raw materials for refining croton, which was always on Li Yunmu’s mind.
When Li Yunmu took a look at the information, he was joyous at first, but then his brows knitted.
The ingredients required to refine croton weren’t complex. There were only three major ones.
The first ingredient was the blood essence of an enormous vicious beast, the second ingredient was an ordinary bean of the Origin World, while the third ingredient was a medicinal liquid with mild and moderate nature.
That’s right, Li Yunmu was currently researching the croton in his hand. It had another name in the Origin World, which was ’Power Grain’.
As the name implied, after eating this food for long time, it would strengthen the person’s body, raising their strength and power. This was also the staple food for most flux experts.
It was rumored that in the Origin World, when one reached the limit of physical cultivation, ordinary food would become unable to offer the nutrition required by the body.
Thus came the era of power grain. In this world where humans had innately formidable bodies, power grain became the first-choice food.
As long as one’s strength surpassed that of fifteen oxen, they wouldn’t feel full regardless of how much of the ordinary food they are. It was gravely lacking in nutrients required for their bodily functions, which would then result in their bodies wasting away and becoming weak.
Among the physical flux experts, this condition was known as a dispersing body and declining cultivation. This was a condition which every cultivator whose strength had crossed fifteen oxen couldn’t avoid.
Thus, if they wished to continue improve their strength above that of fifteen oxen, they had to switch to power grain from ordinary food. Therefore, it wasn’t like anyone who wanted to cultivate could cultivate because once a person began doing it, they would have to consider the financial problems.
From those in wretched poverty to ordinary citizens and even those of bourgeois class, none of them were able to pay the enormous expenses required to cultivate. Just the power grain alone was a major expense unless one was in a sect.
Thus, sects were very popular existences within the Origin World and never lacked disciples.
However, power grain actually wasn’t the only method to obtain the required nutrients.
