The Jiamu true fire was swallowing and sweeping, and under Li Qinglin's spiritual control, it could be as big or small as desired, and he could control the heat and temperature accurately.

In just a breath, some impurities turned into burnt smoke and flew out, and the hundred-year-old cold ganoderma turned into a ball of dark green essence and fell to the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

One spiritual plant after another kept flying into the alchemy furnace, and then was purified and refined, turning into essence and falling into the alchemy furnace.

Finally, Li Qinglin took out the Huayugang silver sand several times, activated the magic spell and Taoist rhyme, wrapped it up, and sent it into the furnace.

Boom! !

The alchemy furnace closed and the ground shook slightly.

The most difficult step has been completed. What remains is to maintain the true fire for forty-nine days to form the pill.

Thanks to the fact that Li Qinglin has been studying the Dao of Alchemy for several years and is no longer an apprentice, he is now very familiar with it and it is basically impossible for him to fail.

As time passed, the faint fragrance of elixir gradually spread, but it was blocked by the formation of Qingping Garden and did not dissipate at all.

Forty-nine days later.

There is fluorescent light lingering around the furnace mouth.

Seeing this, Li Qinglin's tired mind suddenly shook, he pinched his hand seals and injected a few more magic spells.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

Suddenly, the alchemy furnace began to make muffled sounds, and after the roar, the elixir energy leaked out.

Li Qinglin opened the lid of the furnace and saw three green elixirs at the bottom of the furnace.

There are strange patterns on the surface, like traces of a forest burned by wind and fire, but it eventually forms a petal.

As beautiful as jade, at first glance, they don’t look like elixirs, but rather spiritual beads.

The aroma of the elixir filled the entire cave and lingered.

Just by hearing it, Li Qinglin felt refreshed, and his cultivation seemed to have improved.

【Wind and Fire Flower Pill】

Done!

A gleam of light flashed across Li Qinglin's eyes.

Then, Li Qinglin no longer hesitated, and with his big hand, he took out a [Wind and Fire Flower Separation Pill].

The moment of breaking through the middle stage of foundation building is right now! ...

outside world.

Inside the white jade scene.

The shopkeeper sat behind the counter, looking at the bustling market with boredom.

Several servants in the Qi training stage were cleaning, replacing spirit stones, and maintaining the operation of the formation.

"The cave house vacancy rate this year is about 50%. After deducting the store rent, labor costs, and dividends from the Demon Valley... well, I basically worked for nothing throughout the year, and only got more than ten mid-grade spirit stones."

After secretly calculating this year's profits, the shopkeeper helplessly discovered that the "landlord" of Dangmo Valley had become the biggest winner.

The spiritual vein that leads to his cultivation cave in the White Jade Scenery is not his. Instead, he paid rent to rent it from the Dangmo Valley.

The number of spiritual veins and spiritual energy concentrations provided each year are limited, and even tiered. Once the spiritual energy concentration exceeds a certain level, the handling fee will increase several times! After all, there are too many monks and too little porridge. Even if the Demon Valley is big and powerful, it cannot provide so many cultivators for cultivation. Only by setting up rules can it operate for a long time.

A role like the shopkeeper is equivalent to a middleman, connecting with the upstream and setting up a set of formations and restrictions to face the downstream monks.

"Forget it. I won't fight or compete. I can earn some spirit stones by guarding the shop for a year. It's better than those killers who fight for everything they have..."

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, looking casually at the bird-patterned mirror on the counter which could record the amount of spiritual energy consumed and the vacancy rate of the cave.

On the bird-patterned mirror, representing the location of Qingping Garden, a cave for spiritual practice, the concentration of spiritual energy changed from medium at the beginning to high in an instant, and finally exploded to a pitch-black super level!

This means that the spiritual energy in Qingping Garden is being lost in large quantities and is being rapidly drained, even exceeding the upper limit of the spirit gathering formation!

"What is this person doing? Is he trying to break through to the Golden Core realm?!"

The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly, as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

“No, no, breaking through the golden elixir, the magic talisman is transformed into a cauldron to refine the nine-transformation golden elixir, there must be strange phenomena in the world, and my formation is not capable of covering up such strange phenomena in the world.

Could it be that he is refining some special magical instrument or elixir?"

The shopkeeper really couldn't imagine that all this was just caused by Li Qinglin's breakthrough to the middle stage of foundation building.

After all, he had practiced for more than a hundred years, and he had never seen any Foundation Establishment cultivator who could cause such a big commotion by breaking through a small realm.

The key is...

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

As time goes by.

An urgent warning sound came from the bird-patterned mirror, and the mirror surface turned faintly red.

This means that the speed at which spiritual energy is consumed in Qingping Garden has not slowed down at all, but has instead accelerated a bit.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper turned pale, "It's over, it's over. This year's work has been for nothing, and I have to pay for it."

Seeing this, a sly-looking servant suddenly walked up to the shopkeeper and whispered, "Shopkeeper, I have a plan."

The shopkeeper's eyes were still fixed on the bird-patterned mirror, and he casually asked, "What's the plan?"

"Why not secretly lower the spiritual energy share of Qingping Garden and close a few points of the spiritual gathering formation... This way, no matter how much spiritual energy that person absorbs, there is a limit to how much, and it won't affect us..."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at the servant.

A sudden decrease in the concentration of spiritual energy, whether it is refining equipment or alchemy or practicing, can easily lead to serious consequences such as wasting all previous efforts, which is even worse than the hatred of blocking the way! "This..." The shopkeeper's voice was a little hesitant.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was silent, the servant continued,

"Shopkeeper, I have investigated the man from Qingpingyuan before. After entering the market, he wandered around and looked around, just asking prices but not buying anything. I guess he is from a small place. In the end, after comparing prices from three stores, he bought a batch of common second-level low-grade spiritual plants..."

Perhaps because he had seen many foundation-building cultivators, this young man was only in the middle stage of Qi training, but he did not show much respect for Li Qinglin, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation-building, and he talked freely.

"This man is too greedy, he actually dared to fleece the sheep?! Shopkeeper, with your cultivation level, even if he feels resentful afterwards, you can only bear it!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at the boy with a gloomy gaze.

"What are you?"

The servant was stunned: "Ah?"

The shopkeeper was so angry that he laughed: "Who is the foundation-building cultivator? How dare you, an ant-like person like you, offer advice and ask me to offend a foundation-building cultivator whose origins are unknown?!"

A terrifying pressure instantly surged out from the shopkeeper's body.

The servant boy showed a look of horror, and before he could react, he was kicked out of the door, and his body hit the stone slabs of the street hard, with crackling sounds, and no one knew how many bones were broken.

"roll!"

The shopkeeper spoke sternly, his eyes flashing coldly as he swept around the servants in the shop, "In doing business, harmony is the most important thing. Anyone who dares to have evil intentions towards my customers... don't blame me for being merciless! Don't say I didn't warn you!"

Upon hearing this, the servants trembled and nodded in agreement like quails.
