Chapter 2102 - 2102 Time Is Tight! Wang Teng's Trump Card! (4) “The difference between pills that enhance enlightenment and ordinary pills lies in an additional step, which is integrating the enlightenment into the pill,” explained Grandmaster Hua Yuan. After listening, Wang Teng understood. He nodded and said, “I wonder what kinds of pills fall into this category?” “There is the Realm Nurturing Pill that assists in understanding domains and the Source Cultivation Pill that assists in understanding the origin… These are all recorded in the alchemy formulas of our Secondary Career Alliance. If you search according to your requirements, you should be able to find them,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan said. “Realm Nurturing Pill, Source Cultivation Pill?” Wang Teng nodded and expressed gratitude to Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others, saying, “I understand. Thank you for your guidance.” “You’re welcome! You’re welcome!” Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others smiled. This was a trivial matter for them, but helping Wang Teng made them extremely happy. “However, these enlightenment-enhancing pills are quite special. Their grade is related to the level of enlightenment integrated. Take the Realm Nurturing Pill, for example. If you integrate a first-rank domain, it becomes a first-rank grandmaster-level pill. If you integrate a second-rank domain, it becomes a second-rank grandmaster-level pill. Even at the same grade, the difficulty of refining these pills is much higher than that of ordinary pills,” Grandmaster Harol explained. “I see.” Wang Teng nodded thoughtfully. “With your attainments, refining these kinds of pills shouldn’t be too difficult. At most, there might be a few failures, but success is inevitable,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan said, pausing for a moment before adding, “By the way, these pills have some drawbacks. Generally, they can only be taken three times. After three times, some immunity develops, and it becomes impossible to gain insights through the pills.” “Alright, I understand,” Wang Teng nodded. With limited time, he didn’t chat further with Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others. After a brief conversation, he ended the communication. “These grandmasters are like walking repositories of alchemical formulas. Ask them about anything, and you’ll get an answer,” Round Ball couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s the advantage of having strong foundations,” Wang Teng smiled. He then logged into the Secondary Career Alliance through the virtual network and found the alchemical formulas he needed. Heavenly Essence Gathering Pill! Realm Nurturing Pill! These were the two pills he planned to refine. One for enhancing Force and the other for enhancing domains. Most of the talented martial warriors in the Stellar Academies had comprehended domains. Now, Wang Teng aimed to help his Constellation Society members improve in the domain aspect. He didn’t care about the rest. Enhancing Force and domains should be sufficient. If it still wasn’t enough, then they were just too untalented, and it had nothing to do with him. However, when he saw the contribution required to exchange for the formulas of these two pills, Wang Teng fell into a moment of silence. Heavenly Essence Gathering Pill—100,000 contribution points! Realm Nurturing Pill—200,000 contribution points! “300,000 contribution points is a little expensive!” Wang Teng was speechless. The so-called “contribution” refers to the contributions that secondary professionals make to the Secondary Career Alliance. The Secondary Career Alliance wouldn’t simply give out alchemical formulas for free. There must be a give-and-take relationship. This was one of the natural laws of the universe. In the past, when he became a triple-field grandmaster, the Secondary Career Alliance rewarded him with some contribution points. Later, he also completed several tasks from the Secondary Career Alliance, earning quite a few contribution points as well. However, he used up all the points when he exchanged for the Thousand Grass Elixir and the other herbs. Now, the formulas for these two pills would cost him 300,000 contribution points, which could be considered quite expensive. 300,000 contribution points were no small amount! Even for grandmaster-level tasks, one would need to complete several of them to accumulate 300,000 contribution points. However, thinking about the preciousness of these two formulas, Wang Teng felt somewhat resigned. In the outside world, these two formulas would undoubtedly be extremely rare, and some alchemists might not even have access to them. In this sense, the Secondary Career Alliance was already offering favorable terms to secondary professionals. After checking his contribution points, Wang Teng ultimately chose to… IOU! Yes, that’s right. In the Secondary Career Alliance, you could write an IOU. It didn’t matter. He could always pay it back with the next set of tasks. The Secondary Career Alliance was indeed very human-centric. After all, it wasn’t afraid of individuals trying to avoid their responsibilities. The only one at a disadvantage would be the person attempting to evade their commitments. No one would jeopardize their relationship with the Secondary Career Alliance over a small amount of contribution points. It simply wasn’t worth it. Being able to enjoy various benefits within the Secondary Career Alliance, running away over a few hundred thousand contribution points would be shortsighted. After exchanging for the two alchemical formulas, Wang Teng took a glance and gained an understanding of the botanicals required. Some herbs he already possessed, so there was no need to exchange them. However, there were quite a few esoteric herbs that he had to spend points to acquire from the academy. “Everything requires an equivalent exchange,” Wang Teng shook his head helplessly, then informed Lin Qian to bring the required spiritual herbs. During the time he waited for the botanicals to arrive, Wang Teng carefully studied the formulas for the two pills. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in contemplation, thoroughly digesting the information. Having never refined these two elixirs before, he knew that he had to be cautious during the refining process. After all, spiritual botanicals were not cheap, and saving wherever possible was essential to avoid unnecessary waste. Soon, the needed spiritual botanicals were delivered, personally brought by Lin Qian. Anyone could see her attentiveness. After seeing Lin Qian off, Tong En and the others, wearing peculiar expressions, carried the box containing the spiritual botanicals and approached the door of the alchemy room. Tong En rapped on the door.
