"This time, in addition to collecting the Five Elements Spirit Herbs..."
They also unexpectedly obtained the storage bags from Xiong Xiaofeng and the other two, which contained two decent spells that they could try to cultivate.
With that thought in mind, Lin Xiaofei took out his storage bag and retrieved several books.
"I saw Xiong Xiaohe use this Black Blood Sword Technique once. Its power is not as strong as my Tide Falling Sword Stone, but the dark red light emitted by this spell can make people lose their minds for a moment. It is worth learning from."
Also, there's this ten-mile escape technique.
After browsing through the first book, Lin Xiaofei started reading "Ten Mile Escape Techniques" and couldn't help but feel delighted:
This spell is purely for escaping.
If you encounter a powerful enemy, once you use this method, you will consume most of your spiritual energy, thereby doubling your speed and allowing you to escape quickly, making it difficult for your enemy to catch up.
However, this spell consumes too much spiritual energy. Once most of the body's spiritual energy is depleted, it becomes insufficient to fight.
"According to the description in this book, when a cultivator has sufficient spiritual energy in his body, he can only use the Ten Mile Escape Technique twice before his spiritual energy is completely exhausted."
If one's spiritual energy is exhausted and one is still unable to escape to a safe place to replenish it, one is likely to be hunted down and killed by enemies.
Although Xiong Xiaofeng used the Ten-Mile Escape Technique, he didn't flee quickly enough; otherwise, I might have had to chase him for over ten miles to kill him.
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself that this spell was worth practicing.
Although this Ten-Mile Escape Technique is a spell used in the late stage of Qi Refining, it is faster than his Flying Flower-Stepping Technique for escaping.
Moreover, for him, once he has mastered the basics of this Qi Refining technique, he can accelerate his cultivation to the perfect state by consuming the herbs within the spatial bead.
"Although this spell consumes spiritual energy very quickly, it's not a big problem for me."
"As long as you consume the herbs within the spatial bead and silently circulate your immortal techniques, the techniques will run at high speed within your body, allowing you to quickly absorb the spiritual energy in the air. Within two or three breaths, you'll recover more than half of your energy."
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xiaofei silently began his cultivation.
This spell is a trump card for others to escape, but he had a different idea: if he encountered an enemy who was running away too fast, he might be able to use this spell to chase and kill the enemy.
Ten days later, Lin Xiaofei rode the little cat beast through the northernmost prefecture of Zhou Kingdom.
"Now, I have arrived at the border of Zhou State. I estimate that I still have more than a thousand miles to travel before I can reach the Misty Mountains and then go to the Misty Rainbow Sect."
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaofei felt a little excited.
"However, the first-grade five-element spiritual plant has already produced seeds three times and matured three times after I sprinkled more than five thousand low-grade spirit stone powders."
Now, we have a full twenty portions of spiritual materials needed to refine the Breakthrough Pill; we should be able to refine it now.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xiaofei led the little cat beast into the spatial bead.
Soon, he took out the dragon-patterned alchemy furnace, lit a fire to preheat it, and placed the five elemental spiritual plants he had prepared in advance beside him.
Golden Beard Spirit Flower, Water Insect Crystal Grass, One Yuan Flame Tail Grass, Earth Core Purple Sweet Potato, Purple Light Thunderwood Leaf.
Five kinds of spiritual plants, a total of twenty portions of spiritual materials.
Lin Xiaofei first picked up a Golden Beard Spirit Flower, then stretched out his other hand and gestured back and forth, a powerful spiritual pressure enveloping the Golden Beard Spirit Flower.
In an instant, the Golden Beard Spirit Flower floated up, quickly melted, and turned into a pool of pale golden liquid.
Lin Xiaofei controlled the intensity of his spiritual pressure, and drop after drop of Golden Beard Spirit Flower juice dripped into the Dragon Pattern Alchemy Furnace.
Without hesitation, he stretched out a hand and gestured back and forth, following the method of refining the Breakthrough Pill, gradually refining drop after drop of Golden Beard Spirit Flower juice in the pill furnace.
Sizzle!
A drop of spiritual plant liquid entered the alchemy furnace and instantly boiled, as if it were being subjected to a scorching heat.
Immediately afterwards, drop after drop of spiritual plant liquid entered the alchemy furnace without stopping.
The tenth drop of spirit plant essence, the twentieth drop of spirit plant essence, the thirtieth drop of spirit plant essence...
The liquid from the Golden Beard Spirit Flower continuously flowed into the alchemy furnace until Lin Xiaofei incorporated the last drop of Golden Beard Spirit Flower juice into the furnace.
Buzz!
Under Lin Xiaofei's refining method, the spiritual plant liquid in the alchemy furnace shimmered with a faint luster.
Without hesitation, he immediately released a powerful spiritual force, which surged into the liquid of the Golden Beard Spirit Flower.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei sensed that the liquid in the alchemy furnace lost its luster instantly after absorbing a hundred strands of spiritual energy.
"The first attempt at refining failed."
With a low voice, Lin Xiaofei picked up the second batch of spiritual materials and began refining.
Following the same steps as before, the second Golden Beard Spirit Flower melted into liquid and entered the alchemy furnace, but unfortunately, the second attempt to refine it failed again.
And so it went, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, and so on.
Finally, when refining the nineteenth batch of spiritual materials, although a Breakthrough Pill was successfully made, the pill lacked luster and was a useless pill that could not be eaten.
At this moment, Lin Xiaofei sighed, then a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Although it was a failed pill, it was still a Breakthrough Pill, which gave me a deeper understanding of how to refine Breakthrough Pills. Perhaps I can succeed if I refine it again."
Holding a dull, unremarkable Breakthrough Pill in his hand, he examined it carefully, figured out the reason for the failure, and became even more certain that he would succeed if he refined it one more time.
"Next, this is the last batch of refining materials."
The most crucial steps are: first, to follow the refining method of the Breakthrough Pill; second, to infuse an appropriate amount of spiritual power; and third, to gradually infuse spiritual energy.
Lin Xiaofei understood, and immediately sat down cross-legged to restore the spiritual energy in his body.
Three hours later, his spiritual energy had almost recovered, and his mental state had been adjusted to its best before he began refining pills.
Following the steps, first step, second step, third step, and so on, it was finally completed.
Lin Xiaofei smiled, took a deep breath, and was overjoyed.
"Haha, I've finally refined a Breakthrough Pill."
"I hope that if I swallow this pill, I can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei sat down cross-legged and swallowed a Breakthrough Pill in his hand.
As time passed, it wasn't until the next day that he slowly opened his eyes and sighed.
"It seems I was too naive. One Breakthrough Pill is not enough for me to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
However, this Breakthrough Pill at least loosened my bottleneck slightly, and my spiritual energy increased a little, which can be considered as an increase in strength.
Perhaps I need to refine a few more Breakthrough Pills before I can break through my bottleneck.
However, the Breakthrough Pill I just swallowed didn't have a full enough luster, indicating its medicinal power was somewhat weak.
