After Jiang Li hid the locust wood stake underground, he did not run out of the cemetery directly, but found a place to sit down and began to think.

His own spiritual root qualification was only of middle grade. In the eyes of ordinary people, the speed at which he could cultivate to reach high grade spiritual root qualification with the help of cultivation in the cemetery was already remarkable.

If one directly skips the upper-grade spiritual roots and reaches the cultivation speed of the best-grade spiritual roots, it would probably be a big problem and would definitely attract a lot of attention.

If he is valued, it would be fine to just let him join the inner sect.

What I am afraid of is that I will be the fish on the chopping board and finally be dissected and made into medicine, which is a horrible sight.

Judging from the disappointing performance of that red-haired elder, this is not impossible.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, I'd better control my cultivation. It would be best if one or two of Banxia and the others with high-quality spiritual roots break through to the middle stage, and then I will show my abilities.

But every seven days, I have to go to the Danfang to test the medicine.

Relying on the few concealing techniques that he and Yan Hong had collected, he thought there was little chance of hiding it from a powerful sect elder.

"It seems that this is the only thing I can use."

Jiang Li took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms. After opening it, what came out was not the fragrance of medicine, but an unpleasant burnt smell.

【Name: Waste Pill】

【Type: Miscellaneous】

[Rank: None]

【Note: The elixir that was wasted during refining.】

After pouring it out, there were pills with uneven surfaces and pitch black color.

This is the waste pill that Jiang Li asked for from the Red-haired Elder.

After all, the other party still wanted to make big promises for him. Since Jiang Li wanted these worthless things, there was no reason for him not to give them to him.

Although he didn't know what Jiang Li wanted to use it for, the red-haired elder still reminded him not to eat it no matter what he used it for.

"If it's not necessary, I really don't want to eat this."

(This is the plug-in version of Waste Pill Breath Containment, which can be removed at any time without affecting the speed of physical and strength improvement. It is a plug-in that can be used to gain a breath-containment technique that cannot be seen through.)

Jiang Li muttered to himself, then picked up a waste pill and put it into his mouth.

【Taking the waste pill will cause erysipelas to affect oneself. 】

[Erysipelas: All attributes reduced by 20%, spiritual energy strength weakened by 30%, spiritual energy recovery speed reduced by 30%, cultivation speed reduced by 10%, duration two years] (-+)

Σ_(」∠) vomit

It tastes unpalatable and smells burnt, and will cause severe reactions in the intestines, causing general discomfort.

It is extremely difficult to excrete from the body and the toxins last for a very long time.

This is the poison of the elixir! The waste elixir is not the elixir that was accidentally burnt.

Instead, the alchemist deliberately uses methods to transfer most of the poison produced in the alchemy process to a part of the pill, thus forming waste pills.

Therefore, eating waste pills is an extremely unwise behavior.

The poison accumulated by others from taking pills for one, two, or even ten years can be completely offset by taking a single useless pill.

"The consequences are really serious. No wonder the immortal cultivation world is so afraid of things like elixir poison."

"If there is too much of this stuff, it can really eat a person to death. If I can't eliminate the state, I really wouldn't dare to eat it."

But... the effect of this one seems to be a little insufficient.

In desperation, he had to take another useless pill.

[Erysipelas: All attributes reduced by 40%, spiritual energy strength weakened by 50%, spiritual energy recovery speed reduced by 50%, cultivation speed reduced by 30%, duration five years] (-+)

Jiang Li's aura had completely fallen back to the level before the breakthrough, and his face even looked sickly.

It's exactly like someone who took too much medicine and became useless.

Seeing this, I feel sorry for myself.

Now, let alone the Red-haired Elder, even the stronger cultivators would not be able to see his true strength.

Because Jiang Li's current real strength has really fallen back to the early stage of Qi training, and he is not disguised, so how can there be any flaws? It's just that this attribute that affects the speed of cultivation is not very good. In the future, when practicing, you have to remove the state first, and take the waste pill again when needed. This is really a damn torture.

(This is an external version of Breath Concealment, which will not affect the speed of improving strength.) After leaving the cemetery, Jiang Li went to the trading area for two hours as usual.

Yan Honghe has already put a lot of things on the stall, and he has been reselling in this trading area. Recently, he has finally started to make a stable income.

After finishing leveling up in the identification skill, Jiang Li headed towards the mission area.

"Jiang Li!"

Just as he walked into the door of the mission hall, a voice sounded from behind, making him stop.

Several men and women, also dressed in outer disciples' attire, caught up with him from behind.

Jiang Li looked around and saw that they were all familiar faces.

"We just saw someone walking in front of us who looked like you, so I said yes, but they didn't believe me."

"Well, I was right, wasn't I?"

The people who came were naturally Yu Banxia, ​​Lu Qianqian and others.

They looked exhausted, as if they had just returned from a long journey.

"Jiang Li, you've also started coming to the mission area to take on missions, are you alone?"

Yu Banxia and the others looked at Jiang Li with some surprise. They were seven or eight people in the early stage of Qi training, and they dared to come to the mission area to accept missions and earn spirit stones after joining together.

"Jiang Li, you look so ugly, are you sick?"

Jiang Li's sickly face was so obvious that people believed him when they said he was terminally ill and would not live long.

"Well... my martial arts is a little special. It became like this after being corroded by the Yin Qi of the cemetery for a long time. It will be fine after breaking through the middle stage of Qi training."

Everyone had always envied Jiang Li for having the convenience of practicing in the cemetery, but now it seems that it is not as easy as they imagined.

Jiang Li made up a random excuse to fool them, then looked at them and said.

"As for the missions, I also took on a few simple ones. After all, the resources provided by the sect alone are not enough."

"What about you? It looks like you guys are back from outside. Have you accepted the mission to leave the sect?"

This time it was Jiang Li who was surprised. Any mission outside the sect carried considerable risks, and most disciples did not have the courage to do so.

"Yes, the first ten of us who started practicing Qi were rewarded with a spell. We have superior spiritual roots and a fast training speed. In fact, we are stronger than many old disciples."

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

"Yu Banxia is still the best. He has completed several internal missions, and last time he brought us to take on this external mission."

"I'll tell you a secret. We got quite a good harvest this time."

When talking about the mission, they became visibly excited, showing off the packages behind them with beaming faces.

"Congratulations, is this a gathering mission? If there are any extra gains, Yan Hong is doing quite well in the market area now, so he might be able to give you a better price."

Jiang Li thought about it and it made sense. This circle was filled with the most talented and powerful new disciples of this class.

Almost every one of them was rewarded with a spell. Only ten people are given such treatment every year, so it is only natural that they have this strength.

After Jiang Li congratulated them, he also solicited some business for Yan Hong.

"In fact, that's exactly what I was planning to do."

"Also, Jiang Li, are you interested in taking on a mission with us?"

Yu Banxia scratched his head as if embarrassed by the compliment, and then extended an invitation to Jiang Li.

"Is it also an outbound mission? I would like to try it, but I'm afraid I can't do it recently."

Jiang Li calculated that he still had some unfinished business recently, and an outdoor mission could take ten days or half a month. He couldn't go out until the Red-haired Elder finished his mission.

"It's okay. We are planning to take a break for a while."

"And I have a feeling that it may take about a month for me to break through to the middle stage of Qi training. By then, we can all take on a mission with even greater rewards together."

When Yu Banxia said this, the pride in her eyes almost turned into sparks.

If he could be the “first” among this batch of new disciples to break through to the middle stage of Qi training, he would be proud enough.

"Are you going to break through?"

"Then we will all rely on you from now on."

When Jiang Li said this, everyone complimented him.

"It's settled then. We'll talk next time. Let's go hand in the mission first."

"Well, let's talk next time."

After Jiang Li made an agreement with them, they separated.

"About a month, then I'll follow him and break through."

This sickly state made him very uncomfortable, and it would be better to be relieved as soon as possible.

Jiang Li walked into the hall and ran to the counter of the inner sect senior sister.

"Senior Sister Su Xuewei, please help me register."

He handed over his outer gate ID card, and the other party understood without saying anything.

After all, Jiang Li came once a week for three consecutive months and took the same task every time. It would be unreasonable if he couldn't remember it.

"It's you again, Junior Brother Jiang Li. Oh my god, you look so ugly. Do you really want to take this mission?"

Jiang Li... It seems I should put some powder on my face before going out next time.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister, but the recipe is almost finished and I really don't want to give up halfway."

Su Xuewei nodded. She felt a little sorry for Yu Jiang Li's persistence and intelligence. Even if the pill recipe was really successful, what would it have to do with you?

Why bother? You'll lose half your life.

But just thinking about it, she still quickly registered Jiang Li's information.

The main reason why Jiang Li had to come here to receive tasks every time he tried medicine was to guard against the red-haired elder.

Because even if he went there directly without accepting the mission, the Red-haired Elder would still be very happy and would still give him enough compensation.

But once you accept the mission, the sect will keep a record of it and it will be supervised by the sect, so even the elders will be more restrained.

If there was no such restraint, Jiang Li would really be afraid that the other party would do something extreme.

"Hahaha, Jiang Li, you're here!"

"I have improved and adjusted five pill recipes this time. There must be one that is right. Come on! Come and try it!"

Comrades (☆-ｖ-), it's time to vote~ 　　By the way, I never intend to suppress the protagonist's strength improvement. Friends who have overlooked it at a glance, please don't criticize me.
