Qin Feng consumed all the pills and, following the cultivation method from the wordless heavenly book, fully digested their medicinal properties.
When he opened his eyes again, three days had passed. He opened his status panel to check.

Qin Feng's combat power had increased by half.
Seeing his strength grow, Qin Feng was overjoyed. He could feel the golden core power within him becoming more concentrated, and his realm could advance to the Nascent Soul stage at any time.
At this moment, he could flip through three more pages of the wordless heavenly book. These three pages contained part of the alchemy art. Qin Feng was very interested. If he could refine items like the Battle Power Pill, his strength would undergo a tremendous transformation.
He could gain infinite combat power just by relying on pills. This temptation was too great for him.
Qin Feng recalled that he had obtained an alchemy furnace from one of the many treasure chests. It was a treasure from a golden treasure chest, a good item. However, he didn't know how to refine pills, so he had put it in his storage ring. Now he could take it out and use it.
However, to refine pills, having only an alchemy furnace and the alchemy art was not enough; raw materials were also needed.
Qin Feng accessed his status panel and searched for alchemy raw materials in the shop.
After searching for a long time, Qin Feng only found raw materials for refining auxiliary pills like the Hemostasis Pill and Recovery Pill. The raw materials needed to refine pills that increased his combat power, such as the Battle Power Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill, were nowhere to be found in the shop.
Therefore, Qin Feng scrolled to the reputation shop to see if it had any.
However, he was equally disappointed. The items in the reputation shop were very magical, mostly finished products, with no raw materials for sale.
Qin Feng's brow furrowed deeply. If the raw materials for alchemy could not be purchased in the shop, then the alchemy art would be almost useless.
If he could only refine basic Hemostasis Pills and recovery pills, he could simply buy them directly from the shop without needing to refine them himself!
Ye Shen, standing nearby, saw Qin Feng's furrowed brow and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong? You've been cultivating for three days. Has your strength not increased much, making you feel troubled? In fact, how much strength can be gained in three days? Your current combat power is already terrifying, and it's normal for it to be difficult to increase it further. Don't worry about it."
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "My combat power has increased a lot. I'm just confused by the new chapters of the wordless heavenly book because the new chapters are about alchemy refinement methods, but the raw materials cannot be bought in the shop, nor in the reputation shop. How can I refine pills then?"
Hearing this, Ye Shen scratched his head and then said, "Since they are not sold in the shop, perhaps they exist in this world. Let's check the regional chat panel to see if anyone knows about these raw materials. You can also check the world chat channel to see if those big shots know about such information. If they don't know, it means that the alchemy art of this wordless heavenly book is not suitable for this world, and we can just ignore it."
Qin Feng nodded. This was the only way now.
Then he glanced at 204, who was still sleeping in the cave, and asked, "He still hasn't woken up? I clearly felt his vitality was very strong, so he should have woken up long ago. Why is he still sleeping?"
Ye Shen was also full of confusion. She shook her head and said, "He hasn't opened his eyes for these three days. If he wasn't still breathing, I would have thought he was already dead. Oh no... could he have become a vegetative state due to excessive consumption?"
Qin Feng shook his head. He could sense that 204's body was very healthy, but it had not yet recovered to its initial state. Currently, 204 had recovered about sixty to seventy percent. If it were an ordinary person who fainted from excessive consumption, they would wake up after recovering twenty to thirty percent of their stamina. The reason 204 hadn't woken up might be related to his demonic cultivation method.
With this thought, Qin Feng said, "His body is fine, he's not a vegetative state! He might need some more time to wake up. I'll first inquire about the alchemy raw materials in the world chat channel, and you can ask in the regional chat channel to see if they have any information about the locations of these raw materials!"
Ye Shen nodded, and the two began to act separately.
Qin Feng immersed his consciousness in the world chat channel. He didn't speak but first browsed through what everyone had said in the world chat channel over the past few days to see if there was any new information he didn't know.
"I got a Foundation Establishment Pill from a treasure chest. This pill is useless to me, and I want to exchange it for some money. Is anyone willing to trade? The price is negotiable."
"I have an indestructible sword here, obtained from a golden treasure chest. Wearing it can increase combat power by 500. If you have an agility-based cultivation method, wearing this sword will greatly boost your combat power. I want to exchange it for some defensive items or armor. Of course, it must be an equivalent exchange. Don't offer ordinary armor to me. Everyone in this channel is a big shot, so please don't joke with me. If you're interested, you can private message me."
"I found that body refining in cultivation is much harder than Qi refining. Qi refining only requires meditation and cultivation, but body refining requires constantly honing one's body, and there's a high chance of getting seriously injured. It's too uneconomical. Those who practice body refining cultivation are simply idiots. Alas... it's a pity, I am that idiot, and I truly regret it. I broke my leg two days ago due to body refining, and today I fell and injured my arm while climbing a mountain for body refining. If there were monsters around, I might have already died. This infuriates me! Can I give up body refining and start Qi refining?"
"The person above, don't complain. This planet is full of dangers, and the greatest threat to us is monsters. If your body is refined to be as hard as steel and monsters cannot harm you, you can walk sideways on this planet. Conversely, although Qi refining cultivation is powerful and doesn't cause much harm to one's body, its progress is too slow. It's not as rapid as body refining. At the same time, if we are ambushed by monsters, we have no means of defense. But body refining is different. Ordinary monsters cannot cause you any harm. You've struck gold."
"Yes, whether it's body refining or Qi refining, these two methods of cultivation both have their pros and cons. Since you got the body refining cultivation method from the beginner's gift package, it's your fate. If you give up body refining midway and switch to Qi refining, it will be difficult to grow in a short period. On this planet, monsters can appear at any time, and crises can come at any moment. Are you willing to take this risk?"
"Whether it's body refining or Qi refining, there are tricks to it. If you haven't found the tricks, you'll naturally injure yourself. If you want to know the tricks of body refining, you can private message me. However, my price is very high. Only if you pay a price that satisfies me will I tell you the tricks to avoid getting injured."
