As a person focuses on one thing, time flows by like water, passing quickly without one's notice.
For cultivators, such situations only expand the scale of time.
Compared to ordinary people, cultivators even don't need to eat or drink, they only need to continuously focus on one thing.
Just like Li Qi at this moment.
After immersing himself in analyzing the imitation Pòdào Pills that day, he did not rest at all and remained immersed in his current state.
He paid no attention to anything outside his window, dedicating his entire mind to imitating Pòdào Pills.
There seemed to be no trace of the passage of time in the Heavenly Dao Space, but in reality, five years had slipped by in the blink of an eye.
Only on the dome of the Heavenly Dao Space did the Heavenly Dao Will, which had already become a dead fat pig, occasionally stir.
o(^▽^)o
At times, it condensed into a pair of clear, curious black and white eyes, staring down at Li Qi.
At other times, it would take a small ball of Heavenly Dao Will it held in its condensed small, chubby hand, knead it into a ball, and then swallow it whole.
Finally, it let out a satisfied burp, and everything transformed into the most basic emotions of joy transmitted by the Heavenly Dao Will of the Dixu Realm.
(*^▽^*)
And at this moment, suddenly, the clear, black and white eyes condensed by the Heavenly Dao of the Dixu Realm once again looked down at Li Qi.
Before Li Qi, a cluster of flames was rising, and above the flames, various medicinal powers had been refined into essence.
Instantly.
Li Qi's palm clenched fiercely, and he let out a loud shout.
"Condense!"
The next moment.
Those scattered essences of medicinal power suddenly converged.
Gradually, the medicinal powers began to condense towards the shape of a pill.
A faint fragrance wafted through the Heavenly Dao Space.
But at this moment, Li Qi dared not even breathe, for fear that even the slightest disturbance would cause the pill he had painstakingly condensed to be ruined.
Until dozens of breaths passed.
Li Qi's palm clenched again.
The flames before him suddenly extinguished, and the pill suspended in front of him completely solidified.
An extreme pill fragrance emanated from the pill.
With a thought.
The second Natal Spirit Puppet, which had long been recovered, was directly summoned by Li Qi.
Li Qi casually tossed the pill towards the second Natal Spirit Puppet.
Without a second thought, the second Natal Spirit Puppet swallowed it directly.
Li Qi then seized control of the second Natal Spirit Puppet and carefully sensed its effects.
Soon, Li Qi's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.
"It's done!"
After five years of effort, the Pòdào Pill had finally been successfully imitated.
"After so much effort, this pill is indeed difficult to imitate. It's worthy of being a pill that can allow cultivators before the sixth heaven of the Dao Integration realm to significantly improve their cultivation realm with a high probability. It's truly complex," Li Qi couldn't help but sigh.
After all, Li Qi was already intimately familiar with the medicinal properties of various ingredients due to his previous repeated imitation of pills.
The imitation process was also something he was well-versed in.
It could be said that he was standing on his own shoulders, continuing to research the imitation of Pòdào Pills.
Even so, imitating the Pòdào Pill had taken him five years.
If he had to start from scratch and familiarize himself with the medicinal properties, without the experience of so many previous pill imitations, even with the hundredfold analysis bonus from his talent, it would likely take decades to imitate it.
"The efficacy of this pill is probably about eighty percent of the original."
Li Qi made a slight comparison with the original Pòdào Pill.
In the past, Li Qi's imitated pills mostly had over ninety percent efficacy.
This time, even with Li Qi personally refining it, the Pòdào Pill only achieved eighty percent efficacy.
This was not because Li Qi's skills had declined with age.
Rather, the complexity of the Pòdào Pill, coupled with the various heavenly treasures and earthly resources it required, included many ingredients that Li Qi had never even heard of.
Therefore, he could only use ingredients available for purchase in the Void Black Market of the lower realm as replacements.
Hence, the efficacy was naturally inferior to the original. kuAiδugg
Li Qi made a rough estimation, this was the first imitation Pòdào Pill he had refined.
When he became more proficient, and could fully unleash the efficacy of this pill, the limit would probably be around eighty-five percent of the original.
If he were to have his Natal Spirit Puppets refine it, the limit would likely only reach eighty percent, unless Li Qi's strength improved further.
"Eighty percent efficacy is still sufficient," Li Qi murmured to himself. Moreover, this imitation Pòdào Pill was currently his exclusive creation.
For other pills, he still had to compete with the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion for customers.
But for this Pòdào Pill.
There was only this one source!
If Li Qi desired, he could even transform into a dragon, like a dragon slayer, and monopolize it, and it wouldn't be impossible.
However, without overthinking, the thought of transforming into a dragon and monopolizing it flashed through Li Qi's mind and was quickly discarded.
His imitation pills primarily focused on being cheap and reliable. Furthermore, he did not want to set a high price and slowly wait for the few customers who could afford it to arrive.
"What should be the price for this Pòdào Pill?" Li Qi frowned slightly.
The cost of one Pòdào Pill exceeded the combined cost of any previous pill.
The cost of the Dao Fusion Pill, for Li Qi, was not even twenty thousand spirit stones.
But the cost price of this Pòdào Pill was a staggering one million spirit stones.
Calculating the eighteen million spirit stones he had spent at the auction back then.
Li Qi pondered for a moment and decided on a price that was neither expensive nor cheap.
"I'll sell it for ten million spirit stones."
The matter of imitating the Pòdào Pill was mostly settled. All that was needed was to have his first Natal Spirit Puppet in the Void Black Market begin refining them.
Then, it would generate a continuous stream of wealth.
However, speaking of the Void Black Market.
After the Youlan Auction ended, what happened to the ensuing battle among the cultivators at the ninth heaven of Dao Integration, and who ultimately emerged victorious?
Li Qi's consciousness stirred.
This question was sent towards his first Natal Spirit Puppet, who was far away in the Void Black Market.
The next moment, a vast amount of information was transmitted.
And as Li Qi finished reading the messages, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
The battle among the cultivators at the ninth heaven of Dao Integration after the Youlan Auction was too insane!
According to the information transmitted by his first Natal Spirit Puppet.
That battle among many cultivators at the ninth heaven of Dao Integration had annihilated a large area around the Void Black Market.
That was a distance of at least over ten small worlds, yet not even a speck of dust remained, leaving behind a completely empty region.
Even during that battle, those cultivators at the ninth heaven of Dao Integration had become enraged, fighting for a spiritual plant that could increase the probability of breaking through tribulation.
One by one, they lost their minds, nearly causing the continent of the Void Black Market to shatter.
Fortunately, at a critical moment, Zhu Si, who had presided over the auction at that time, intervened and protected the Void Black Market, preventing it from shattering under the clash of these powerful beings.
Otherwise, even the Void Black Market might have needed to be rebuilt.
And in the end, one cultivator at the ninth heaven of Dao Integration directly perished on the spot.
The remaining participating cultivators were not much better off, most of them fleeing back severely injured.
The cultivator who ultimately obtained the spiritual plant that could increase the probability of breaking through tribulation was the same person who had successfully bid for it at the auction.
Indeed, without the formidable strength to protect the spiritual plant, even if one had the capital to purchase it, it was unlikely they would have made the purchase.
After all, it was said that that cultivator was the strongest in a region ranked within the top ten among nearly ten thousand regions surrounding the Void Black Market.
