"Generally, when doing this kind of thing, they won't target the family cultivators with strong backgrounds, but will target independent cultivators at most."

"Someone like you is obviously considered a casual cultivator."

Lu Ping frowned. "Random Cultivator, do I look like a Random Cultivator?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you look like one or not."

"All the cultivators of the family have shops in the market on Taihang Island, so they can come and go without any worries. But my Lu family sold the shop twenty years ago."

"That's why you are considered a casual cultivator."

"I sold the shop. This is why."

"I don't know either," Uncle San shook his head.

"I only know that the family suddenly became poor 20 years ago, and even rarely distributed elixirs."

"Until this year, Elder Chen Yi joined and resumed the distribution. For example, I was given a bottle of [Spirit Awakening Pill]."

"As for the Qingfeng Dan Shop you mentioned, you may want to engage in alchemy in the future. After all, it is easier to make pills when you have reached the foundation building stage and have spiritual awareness. In this case, I will go to Lu Hao to discuss how to send some people to guard the Qingfeng Dan Shop."

"Is this okay?"

“No problem, maybe starting a small business selling medicinal herbs will bring you some popularity?

"I see. I'm just troubling you, Uncle San."

"What's the trouble? You gave me a Foundation Establishment Pill worth four thousand spirit stones, and I didn't feel embarrassed. Why do you find it troublesome?"

"Hey, okay, I'll listen to you then."

"So what are you going to do now?"

"I plan to break through to the tenth level of Qi training in one go."

"Well, what is your current level of cultivation?" Uncle San suddenly remembered.

Lu Ping said calmly: "I have reached the eighth level now."

Listening to Lu Ping's words, Lu Di smiled calmly, as if a breeze was blowing on his face.

"Okay, I'll go back to retreat first."

As we walked along the road, Uncle San seemed to be still mumbling, "Eighth floor, seventh floor."

As Lu Ping watched, he knew that he had provoked his Third Uncle again. However, some stimulation was also good, as his Third Uncle was indeed a little tired. Although he and his Third Uncle both had three spiritual roots, and although he had the assistance of the system, his Third Uncle had lived ten years longer after all, and yet his cultivation was actually a little worse than his own. He was indeed a little tired.

At this moment, Uncle Nine is in seclusion, and Uncle Three is also in seclusion. Everyone is in seclusion, so I should start too!

Before the retreat, Lu Ping went to the family library again. He planned to look at the medical books. His family also collected some medical books, which might help improve his proficiency.

Lu Ping read a few books and finally returned disappointed.

"Sure enough, most of the books in my family collection overlap with those collected by Master Qingxiu. Although I read the few books, they did not increase my proficiency."

Lu Ping guessed that it was very likely that these books could not improve his abilities.

He knew the essence of proficiency very well. The essence of proficiency was that he did have this possibility, and the system allowed him to bring this possibility into play. The medical books he had read did not increase this possibility, so naturally it would not increase his proficiency.

Then you can choose some secular medicinal herbs to make pills. Secular medicinal herbs are cheap. After Lu Ping's calculation, it only costs one spirit stone to make a [Hemostatic Pill].

He sold his extra magic tools and was able to almost upgrade his alchemy skills to the full apprentice level.

Since alchemy won’t improve my skills, I’ll just improve my cultivation.

When he was in Qingxiu Danpu, he had already taken a lot of elixirs, and now he still has seven bottles.

Lu Ping took out a bottle of [Shui Ling Dan] and looked at the bottle which only contained three pills. He couldn't help but sigh that these merchants were really good at doing business.

One pill sounds a little scarce, but a bottle of pills sounds like a lot, but his bottle of pills only contains three pills.

The packaging is luxurious but has no other uses. It really makes people feel that the merchant is very smart.

In the world of immortal cultivation, elixirs are considered luxury items, and the price of a first-grade elixir is approximately five to ten spirit stones.

Taking the [Yellow Spiritual Pill] as an example, it usually requires ten spiritual herbs, and then they are mixed and matched to produce the amount needed to refine three pills. If all are successfully refined, it will naturally be a bottle of pills.

However, the success rate of a general alchemist is about one-third to one-half, plus some handling fees for the alchemist, so the cost of a pill is close to fifty, so the selling price is naturally more than fifty spirit stones.

The selling price of [Yellow Spirit Pill] is generally around eighty spirit stones, and one pill can generally save half a year of hard work.

The amount of spiritual stones that a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training earns on a daily basis is no more than 30 to 50, which is only 20 to 30 spiritual stones in half a year, so most people will not take elixirs to speed up their own practice.

Only people like Lu Ping or Uncle Jiu, who have a large number of elixirs or whose bodies are already showing signs of decline, would use elixirs to temporarily speed up their practice.

Generally speaking, the best time to break through and build the foundation is before the age of 40.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

If there is no breakthrough before the age of 60, then the probability of breakthrough will decline significantly. This is why Lu Ping asked Uncle Jiu to continue practicing in the secret room. Because Uncle Jiu is over 50 and close to the limit of 60, he lacks time, while he is still young and can wait.

Of course, alchemists spend a lot of time refining pills, which will naturally slow down their progress in cultivation. But with a large amount of spirit stones, they can take a lot of pills to improve their cultivation, which is not bad.

Three days later.

When Lu Ping was refining the elixir in the room, a yellow light flew back through the doors and windows, followed by a piece of talisman paper.

Seeing this, Lu Ping ended his practice, and with a move of his spiritual power, the yellow light pulled the talisman paper into his hand.

Lu Ping injected a bit of spiritual energy into the talisman paper, which suddenly began to burn. The flames leaped out several feet, and suddenly Lu Xuanyuan's voice was heard from it, very brief and clear.

"Lu Ping, come to Chongming Peak. I have something to talk to you about!"

Hearing the voice transmission, Lu Ping was a little confused.

This was the voice of Elder Lu Xuanhai, and he was looking for me for some reason.

I don’t understand why, but I still have to go.

Lu Ping hurriedly packed up and went to the cave of Elder Lu Xuanhai on Chongming Peak.

As for his cave, it is easy to find. It is on the newly built platform.

Outside Lu Xuanhai's cave was an illusion array. Upon seeing this, Lu Ping shouted loudly, "Disciple Lu Ping pays homage to Elder Lu Xuanhai."

After a while, the dense trees disappeared and the road appeared.

Du Ping walked straight into the cave. There was only one person sitting on the main seat in the cave.

"Greetings, Elder Lu Xuanhai."

"Well, Lu Ping, since you're back, why didn't you tell me?"

"Lu Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't have anything to do, so I won't bother you."

Lu Xuanhai nodded slightly.

"If Lu Hao hadn't sent people to Taihang Island, I wouldn't have known about this."

"It's just a small matter. Why should I alarm you?"

He couldn't deny it, but he didn't mention it again.
