Having improved his cultivation level in this life simulation, Han Feng naturally chose option 2 to retain it.
Subsequently, his cultivation level broke through, successfully advancing from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the eighth level.
Besides improving my cultivation level, the most important thing about this life simulation is that there are cave dwellings of Core Formation stage cultivators in the forbidden area.
There are at least several hundred, if not thousands, of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Yellow Maple Valley.
However, the number of Core Formation stage cultivators was pitifully small, less than twenty.
There are even fewer Nascent Soul stage cultivators, only the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch.
Even a small amount of resources revealed by a Core Formation cultivator is an immense opportunity for a Qi Refining cultivator.
Now that the cave dwelling of a Core Formation stage cultivator has been discovered in the forbidden area, Han Feng will definitely have to change his strategy.
He decided to enter the cave earlier than planned, otherwise by the time he entered near the end of the trial, all the good stuff would probably have been snatched up.
To compete for resources within the cave, cultivation level is definitely very important.
Han Feng's cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, but it is still far from enough.
He felt that he needed to reach the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage to survive the competition for the cave dwelling opportunity.
Those who can enter the core of the forbidden area must be the best among the Qi Refining stage disciples.
Han Feng only had one low-grade spirit stone, which he used to obtain materials for alchemy.
Life simulation has reached a bottleneck, and further life simulation would not be very meaningful.
He went back to the alchemy hall and exchanged the ingredients for three Spirit Gathering Pills with the disciples there.
Han Feng did not return to the wooden house, but went directly to the alchemy hall to refine pills.
The success rate of alchemy is higher when using earth fire in the alchemy hall compared to using one's own internal spiritual fire.
Enter the alchemy room, turn on the furnace, put in the medicinal herbs, melt the herbs, and condense the elixir.
These four steps were completed in one go, and three Spirit Gathering Pills were formed in the alchemy cauldron.
One Spirit Gathering Pill is worth five spirit stones, which means Han Feng earned fifteen low-level spirit stones at once.
Alchemy is indeed a highly profitable business.
To avoid attracting too much attention, Han Feng put away the two Spirit Gathering Pills.
He planned to use a Spirit Gathering Pill to exchange for medicinal herbs at the Alchemy Hall.
"Junior Brother Han, you came out so quickly. Did you want to exchange for the ingredients for three more Spirit Gathering Pills?"
"Yes, I'd appreciate it if you could help me, Senior Brother Zhang."
"One low-grade spirit stone is needed to make three portions of the ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill."
"I don't have any spirit stones on me. Can I exchange my pills for medicinal herbs?"
"The elixir is naturally..."
Zhang Wei suddenly realized something was wrong: "You mean you just successfully refined the Spirit Gathering Pill?"
"It's possible that my junior brother is just luckier."
Han Feng then took out a Spirit Gathering Pill.
Zhang Wei took the Spirit Gathering Pill and examined it. "This Spirit Gathering Pill is of medium grade. Junior Brother Han, you are truly a genius."
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
This Spirit Gathering Pill was the lowest grade of the three, which already surprised Zhang Wei so much.
Han Feng felt that if he took out two more high-grade Spirit Gathering Pills, Zhang Wei would be even more surprised.
"Junior Brother Han, are you really unaware or are you just pretending to be confused?"
Zhang Wei's face was full of envy: "If an alchemist can refine one Spirit Gathering Pill from ten Spirit Gathering Pills on their first attempt, they are already considered a genius."
“You are no longer just a simple genius, you can be called a genius among geniuses. I need to report this to the elder and see if he will accept you as a disciple.”
"This isn't a good idea," Han Feng said with a wry smile.
He simply wanted to exchange for the ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill so he could continue refining the pill.
Han Feng really had little interest in becoming a disciple of an outer sect elder.
"Junior Brother Han, your talent cannot be wasted."
"Alright, thank you very much, Senior Brother Zhang."
Han Feng felt that if he didn't agree, Zhang Wei might not let it go.
The Spirit Gathering Pill he refined was a mid-grade pill, worth six spirit stones, which he exchanged for the ingredients for eighteen Spirit Gathering Pills.
From then on, Han Feng lived and ate at the alchemy hall, spending all his time refining pills except for taking fasting pills and resting.
During this time, due to Zhang Wei's connection, Zhang Bitian, an outer elder of the Alchemy Hall, came to see Han Feng.
He praised Han Feng's aptitude for cultivating pills, but shook his head when he saw Han Feng's cultivation aptitude.
Han Feng's cultivation level was below average, which was barely enough for him to join Huangfeng Valley.
For someone with his aptitude, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is almost impossible.
Zhang Wei told Han Feng the news, which Han Feng had expected.
“Junior Brother Han, why don’t you go and ask my uncle? He might agree to take you as his disciple,” Zhang Wei said regretfully.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang. I understand my aptitude," Han Feng said with a wry smile.
He now has a life simulator, so his cultivation level will definitely improve very quickly.
Having a master above you is not a good thing, but a bad thing.
In the world of cultivation, it's not uncommon for masters to covet their disciples' opportunities and kill them to seize those resources.
At this moment, Han Feng dared not reveal his cultivation level, otherwise he would definitely attract a lot of trouble.
"Senior Brother Zhang, please help me exchange some pills." Han Feng took out ten pills of different grades.
"After my inspection, three out of ten Spirit Gathering Pills are of superior quality, five are of medium quality, and two are of inferior quality. Shall we exchange them for the medicinal materials needed for Spirit Gathering Pills?" Zhang Wei asked.
"This time, I don't want to exchange for the Spirit Gathering Pill; I want to exchange for the Spirit Recovery Pill," Han Feng replied.
"A Spirit Recovery Pill?" Zhang Wei looked astonished. "Junior Brother Han, are you going to refine a Spirit Recovery Pill already? Don't you want to try out a Spirit Gathering Pill instead?"
"The Spirit Gathering Pill costs only one spirit stone for three portions of its ingredients, while the Spirit Recovery Pill costs three spirit stones for one portion of its ingredients, making it nine times more valuable."
