The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

However, the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill has a unique function that other pills don't: it can temporarily be stored in the Dantian!

Whenever your spiritual power is depleted, it automatically replenishes itself, whereas with other pills, you still have to consume them.

Moreover, during the most intense battles, you might not even have the time to consume them, leading to spiritual power depletion, exposing a flaw, and ultimately being defeated!

And most importantly, the production cost is high. For other pills, one batch can yield at least eighty to a hundred pills, and the refining cycle is short. The slowest among them takes only one week. Of course, even the actual refining time for the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill doesn't exceed a year, but it takes eight months to produce the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill!

You can imagine how low the cost-effectiveness of the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill is.

Ye Tianfan heard that this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill could restore one-third of a Ten Directions Realm's spiritual power, which translates to several hundred of his total spiritual power at the third layer of the Thousand Source Realm.

This means he wouldn't have to worry about spiritual power depletion anymore, at least not in the short term, and he wouldn't experience the feeling of spiritual power exhaustion, though the pain in the meridians would still be there due to the rapid depletion. After all, the rapid consumption of spiritual power can cause the meridians to be overwhelmed by the impact!

But these are trivial matters; when it comes to saving one's life, everything else is minor!

Ye Tianfan was now tempted by the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill. Although it might not be of much use to those at the peak of the Ten Directions Realm, it is incredibly useful for someone like Ye Tianfan and even for cultivators advancing to the Thousand Source Realm!

Yet, Ye Tianfan wanted a few more pills. Upon calculating after factoring in the Illusory Fire, he realized that even one Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill might not suffice. After all, using the basic Illusory Fire once requires fifty of Ye Tianfan's total spiritual power, and multiple uses would quickly deplete the pill!

"Sect Leader, could I have a few more pills? You know, using the Illusory Fire would consume fifty times my total spiritual power once, and using it a few more times would quickly deplete it. And fifty times my total spiritual power is just the starting point,"

"Sect Leader, could I have a few more pills? You know, using the Illusory Fire would consume fifty times my total spiritual power once, and using it a few more times would quickly deplete it. Moreover, fifty times my spiritual capacity is just the starting point. If I want the Illusory Fire to be more potent, I need to use more spiritual power—as powerful as I wish, I just need to add more spiritual power. Only by increasing fifty times my capacity can the power be doubled!" Ye Tianfan lamented, "Sect Leader, consider this: I still have to practice the Illusory Fire, as I need it to trap the final monster in an illusion technique. And to attack the final monster, I certainly have to practice more, so Sect Leader, give me a few more pills!"

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the Sect Leader laughed heartily and replied, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll give you five pills; is that enough?"

"How about fifty pills?" Ye Tianfan replied immediately!

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader was at a loss for words and said, "Just five pills, no more. Don't worry; there are more good things!"

"More good things?" Ye Tianfan exclaimed, happy!

You must understand that things the Sect Leader considers good are not many.

"Sect Leader, what is it?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously!

"Just what I mentioned a few days ago—a magical treasure that can store spiritual power!" the Sect Leader replied!

"A magical treasure to replenish spiritual power?" Ye Tianfan was a bit puzzled. In fact, a few more Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pills would do; how much can this magical treasure replenish?

"Yes, a few days ago when experimenting with the Illusory Fire, didn't we mention that Junior Brother Yuan Chu would refine a magical treasure for you to store spiritual power? That way, you won't worry about using spiritual power," the Sect Leader said!

"Has the magical treasure been refined?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously. Although in his mind, the effect of this magical treasure probably wouldn't be as good as the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill, having more is better than not having it. The more magical treasures, the better, so Ye Tianfan accepted it!

"It's almost refined, within a few days before you set off, it should be ready!" the Sect Leader replied, but noticed Ye Tianfan seemed not very interested in the magical treasure and thus added with a smile, "The effect of this magical treasure is even better than the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill!"

Ye Tianfan heard the Sect Leader's words and smiled, but still didn't care!

Seeing Ye Tianfan's indifference, the Sect Leader realized that the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill had taken precedence in his mind, making Ye Tianfan instinctively believe that a pill that can replenish several hundred of his spiritual power is more effective, while a magical treasure that stores spiritual power is less effective, because how much spiritual power can a treasure store?

The Sect Leader laughed; he hadn't planned to explain the magical treasure in detail, but seeing Ye Tianfan's ignorance, he decided to introduce the magical treasure!

"Nephew Tianfan, I'm telling you, the effect of this magical treasure is superior to the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill, do you know why?" the Sect Leader asked!

"Why?" Ye Tianfan replied!

"Because this magical treasure can store the spiritual power of up to four peak Ten Directions Realms!" the Sect Leader said!

"Hiss!" Ye Tianfan gasped upon hearing this. The spiritual power of four peak Ten Directions Realms—when converted to the Thousand Source Realm—how much would that be!

But then Ye Tianfan thought about how long it would take to infuse enough spiritual power into it!

The Sect Leader continued, "Do you think it's difficult to store spiritual power in a treasure with such capacity?" Without waiting for Ye Tianfan to speak, he added, "No, it's not difficult at all. It can replenish spiritual power using three methods! The first one is for you to infuse the spiritual power yourself; this is the second fastest and most economical method. The second method is letting it absorb spiritual power on its own, which is extremely slow—it would take a dozen or twenty years to fill it, though it's the most labor-saving way. The third method, also the most expensive, is using superior spiritual power—spiritual power from top-grade Spirit Stones—to fill the treasure. This method is the fastest but also the most costly, needing twelve top-grade Spirit Stones to fill the treasure completely!"
