CULTIVATION CHART
The page will be updated as the story progresses. This may act like a spoiler, so please read at your own risk.
Side Jobs : •Array Master (Rank 1 Array Master to Rank 9 Array Master)
* Artifact Refiner (Rank 1 Artifact Refiner to Rank 9 Artifact Refiner)
* Pill Refiner/ Alchemist (From Rank 1 to Rank 3 are called Pill Concocter/ Pill Refiner in lower realms.)
•• Rank 3 or higher material refining requires a special type of fire. These special fires never extinguish and range from Grade 1 to Grade 9 according to their strength.
Some points to take note of :
1. The Rank of Side Job corresponds to the Rank of items they can create. For example, Rank 1 Artifact Refiner can only refine Rank 1 artifacts.
2. The alchemists in lower realms are usually called Pill Concocter/ Pill Refiner. They can only refine pills. In the upper realms, all the alchemists are called with their rank from Rank 1 Alchemist to Rank 9 Alchemist, there are no Pill Concocter/ Pill Refiner here, only Alchemists. These people are not only proficient in pill concoction but also proficient in working with medicine liquid.
3. Even among the same type of pill or medicinal liquid, there are always slight differences. So each rank is further divided into four. Low, medium, high and best quality. The high quality pills have pill veins and best quality pills have pill clouds. The best quality medicinal liquid has a slight glow to it.
4. The Demon Race's Cultivation methods are quite similar to Zhu Furong, so it hasn't been mentioned below.
5. The Cultivation methods of pure Spirits are unknown. The subspecies of the Spirit Race consists of half-human and half-monster, these two subspecies Cultivate with methods similar to the Human Race and Monster Race respectively.
6. In the Lower Realm, the Monster Race is only present as Spiritual Beasts in nature. Though there are few rare cases depending on certain conditions.
7. After forming their core at Core Formation rank, humans truly start their journey as a Cultivator. From here on progression is extremely difficult and hence many people stay stuck in a Cultivation stage for years. No one worries about their own age if they can get a chance to climb up to higher Cultivation ranks, for them age is just a number. It's all good if you can keep your bones sturdy.
8. Cultivation Equivalent doesn't mean that the actual battle prowess is the same between two, it is 'similar'. In a fight between two people of the same Cultivation rank, the factors such as life experience, how long they have been in that Cultivation rank, their physical or mental age, their foundation, etcetera, plays a vital role.
