145. Chapter 145 Ten years!



The true meaning of being an alchemist is to find happiness for fellow Taoists.

Shen Lian realized this a long time ago.

There are a huge number of Qi-cultivating immortal practitioners in Nanya Immortal City, including boatmen, fishermen... There are people from all kinds of professions. If you do business with these cultivators well, you can make a lot of money.

During the month he was wandering around the city, he saw too much numbness among the lower levels of the immortal cultivation world, which was similar to what he saw in the Ten Thousand Star Sea, except that it was more prominent in Nanya Immortal City.

Even if they make a living in a large immortal city like Nanya, for the lower-level cultivators, it is just a change of place to live in the lowest-grade houses and be oppressed.

A dozen spirit stones to buy a day of happiness, what's wrong? Ahem... Of course this is nonsense.

The reason why Shen Lian does not sell high-level elixirs is to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He is an outsider and just wants to enjoy the peace and tranquility in the fairy city, and it would be even better if he could earn some spirit stones by the way.

Once he starts selling second-level pills in large quantities, there will be too many mixed forces in Nanya Immortal City and it will be easy for them to target him.

If he endures it at that time, he will feel depressed. If he doesn't endure it, he will have to run away again.

The first floor sells pills, and the second floor is for cultivation.

Huaha Street is located right at the junction of land and water, and there is the sea below Danpu.

Moreover, when the immortal city was built, the half of the city facing the sea was deliberately dug at least a hundred feet deep and covered with underwater formations.

There are also some city buildings underwater that can absorb the tidal power of the ocean. They are places where many monks practice.

A fellow Taoist asked if anyone would dump feces and urine in there. Don't worry about that. There is a rule in the Immortal City that anyone who dares to dump feces and urine in there will be drowned.

Otherwise, why would Shen Lian choose this location to open a pill shop.

He chose this place with the consideration of whether he could find loopholes in the fairy city's defense in the future and find an emergency exit for himself.

Alternatively, find an inconspicuous place and build a defensive cave.

Half a year after the pill was spread out, Sanqian, who had absorbed two demon pills in a row, finally woke up from his slumber.

Although it has not yet been promoted to the second level, the originally green scales now have a faint golden edge.

The originally protruding frontal bone now looks even more majestic than before.

"Owner……"

"Big Black Brother..."

The spirit beast bracelet sensed Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts coming in, and Sanqian shook his body and spoke.

Shen Lian's divine sense examined Sanqian carefully, and found that Sanqian's external aura had not changed much compared to before.

But inside a section of the fish spine in its body, there is a dragon energy hidden.

The fish bone that contains the dragon energy is only a few inches long, but it gives Sanqian the potential to be reborn.

According to the manager at the time, Sanqian's mother was a quasi-third-level monster, but now it seems that its realm has most likely reached the peak of the second level, and its bloodline power is even weaker.

For monsters, if they eat certain spiritual objects, they can indeed forcibly break through the small levels within the greater realm.

This also applies to the human race.

But this promotion comes from external forces and does not represent an improvement in one's own potential.

It's just like the boatmen outside, who earn five spirit stones a day, every day. But one day he picked up ten spirit stones at the dock. However, such a good thing doesn't happen every day.

"Three thousand and one more demon pill will give you, and you can be promoted to a second-level demon beast."

At present, Shen Lian has more than a dozen second-level demon pills in his hands, all of which were obtained by killing lone demon beasts while crossing the northern part of the Siren Islands.

Sanqian can be promoted by using the demon pill, he is the son of Dahei.

"Master...don't."

The sea outside Nanya.

Shen Lian chose an island where mortals lived. Wherever there were mortals living, it meant that the spiritual energy was depleted, it was far away from the main shipping channel, and so on.

The current environment of the immortal cultivation world is very different from that in ancient times or even in the Middle Ages.

In ancient times, the heaven and earth were rich in spiritual energy, and inspiration was everywhere, so there was no need to find a blessed place to practice.

In the Middle Ages, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted, the spiritual power floating between heaven and earth was still enough for cultivators to practice.

By now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become further depleted. Although there is still spiritual energy in most areas of the immortal cultivation world, it is no longer enough for cultivators to practice.

The environment that was originally full of spiritual places has transformed into a regional environment for cultivating immortals with spiritual veins as the center.

The higher the grade of the spiritual vein here, the larger the range of spiritual energy. If the grade of the spiritual vein is low, the smaller the range of spiritual energy suitable for cultivation.

This resulted in even Qi-cultivating cultivators having to choose markets or immortal cities as places to practice.

Although the vast ocean land has not yet become a place of no spiritual energy, it is enough for small cultivators of the first or second level of Qi training to absorb and refine.

If your strength is a little higher, you have to find a place with richer spiritual energy.

Otherwise, you need to take pills to practice. As long as there are enough pills, the spiritual environment can be ignored.

Shen Lian belongs to this category. Due to the super high quality of the spirits he refines, even if he practices on a second-level spirit vein, it is not as good as swallowing pills.

Therefore, he has been taking elixirs and practicing over the years, which is equivalent to practicing with a spiritual vein on his body.

The environment of the selected island is not complicated. It is almost entirely covered with low mountains. Only in the flat areas on the edges are towns built.

After not finding any underground caves, Shen Lian looked around and went directly into a hidden basin, where a Thousand Illusions Shadow Formation was set up.

The formation and the hilly terrain are perfectly integrated together, and there is no sign of anything unusual when viewed from the outside.

After the phantom formation was set up, the small five elements formation was placed in place, and finally the puppet man was released, the entire cave was considered to be completed.

"Owner……"

Release Sanqian and Dahei from the spirit beast bracelets.

Two first-level spiritual beasts would not be very noticeable even if they were released in Nanya Fairy City.

The main reason was that Shen Lian wanted to relax Da Hei Song's muscles and try out the effects of the Tian Yan Earth Domain.

Naturally, this cannot be done in Nanya Fairy City.

A pool of water was dug out in the cave, and Sanqian was allowed to have fun in it for a while. He slept for several years, which made him feel suffocated.

Dahei was standing by the pond, using his big pliers to perform quantification work on Sanqian's pond.

“Plulu…”

In the pool, Sanqian popped his head out and spit a mouthful of water in front of Dahei. Dahei grabbed a stone with pliers and threw it at him.

The two little beasts started fighting each other.

In the end, the angry Dahei jumped into the water, held Sanqian with his two big claws and started beating him up.

"I won't be able to beat you in the future, so I have to fight back now."

While beating, Dahei was still mumbling.

"It's okay. When Big Black gets a wife, I'll help you take care of her..."

After hearing this, the big black pliers swung even harder.

"I treat you as my brother, but you want to..."

"Brother Dahei, I am I..."

The big pincers banged on the golden scales, but Sanqian did not resist. After sleeping for several years and absorbing two demon pills, its strength had already surpassed Dahei by a lot.

Dahei also reacted.

This is my younger sister.

Shen Lian lay on a stone couch and watched the fight between the two spirit beasts. He only caught Dahei after the two little guys had enough fun.

"Master, you you..."

Being caught in Shen Lian's hand, Dahei retracted his long legs. When he saw the five-colored spiritual energy emerging from Shen Lian's other hand, he trembled all over.

A red-gold flame first appeared in the five-colored spiritual power, and then turned into an khaki color.

"Come, let me loosen up your muscles first. How can you advance to the second level if you are so weak?"

The spiritual power with an earth-yellow glow fell onto Dahei's back.

Dahei was so scared that his two black eyes became sunken.

"What are you shaking for?"

As his first spiritual beast, which led him out of the mountains, Shen Lian naturally wanted to train it.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, a monster with such low bloodline would have been thrown away long ago.

The earth spiritual power was released a little bit at a time and fell on Dahei's back.

A stream of mysterious energy flowed along the black shell and seeped into the big black body.

Dahei, who had his eyes shrunk and was trembling all over, felt that the scene that was torn apart like a nightmare did not appear, and he reacted all at once.

As an earth-attributed monster, it has a natural affinity for soil and rocks.

At this moment, although the earth-based spiritual power that had penetrated into its body caused its flesh and blood to hurt terribly, it was much better than the scene of it constantly breaking apart in the past.

Shen Lian's spiritual sense enveloped every inch of Dahei's flesh and blood. He sensed that the earth spiritual power that blessed the Tianyan Earth Realm had indeed changed after entering Dahei's body.

What really worked was not the earth spiritual power, but the mystery of the Tianyan Earth Realm contained in the earth spiritual power, which was absorbed into Dahei's body.

"Master, it hurts, it's going to break."

As Dahei was wrapped in the ochre-colored spiritual power, the tingling pain spread throughout his body.

Even if Shen Lian tried to control it deliberately, it was still the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Stage after all.

Moreover, he is currently unable to mobilize the Tianyan Earth Realm on his own, and can only rely on the earth-based spiritual power to output the mystery of the Tianyan Earth Realm.

If you want Dahei to absorb more mysteries, you can only increase the output of earth-based spiritual power.

In addition, after absorbing the mysterious energy, Dahei's flesh and blood began to metabolize at an accelerated rate, causing its body to crack again.

"It's cracked. It's cracked."

Putting down Dahei, who was enveloped by earth spiritual power, and watching him howling on the ground, Shen Lian wanted to take out spiritual medicine to help him repair his body.

But he sensed that the big black had cracked and a little bit of sticky liquid was seeping out from the cracks.

This made him stop taking the elixir.

Every animal has its own destiny, and it seems that Dahei is bound to endure this suffering.

Although he did not mobilize much of the mysteries of the Tianyan Earth Realm, Shen Lian also felt a sense of fatigue. He put Dahei into the spirit beast bracelet, sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

After staying in this safe cave for more than half a month and giving Dahei three baptisms of the Tianyan Earth Realm, Shen Lian returned to Nanya Fairy City.

The transformation of bloodline, like spiritual practice, is a very long process.

Dahei's little body is too weak, so it needs to be done bit by bit.

After returning to the Immortal City, Shen Lian became the shopkeeper of Benxin Pill Shop again. He sold pills every day, inquired about the news in the Immortal City, and saw if there were any elixirs he needed, etc.

The public security in the Immortal City is quite good. Every day, cultivators ride on spirit boats to travel over the Immortal City. Any cultivator who dares to fight in the city will be forcibly suppressed.

When he came to Nanya Fairy City, Shen Lian made up his mind to stay here for a while to calm himself down.

But I didn’t expect that this process would take ten years.

During the past ten years, he ran the Benxin Dan Shop, following the path of an ordinary lower-class Qi-cultivating cultivator and trying his best not to conflict with others during the course of his business.

For the same medicine, he would sell it at the market price, and sell the same quality as others, and sometimes he would even lower the quality a bit.

It's a small shop, so it's normal that the quality of the pills is not good.

As time went by, other nearby alchemy shops stopped paying much attention to Benxin Alchemy Shop after observing it for a while.

We can sell elixirs together, but we must maintain a common circle of interests.

Shen Lian followed the crowd, and although there were some minor frictions in the beginning, he generally got through it peacefully.

After the shop was on track, he began to change his identity to buy elixirs for body refining and cultivation, and to refine the pills he needed for his own cultivation.

Occasionally, I would close the shop for ten days or half a month to go out and buy medicinal herbs.

If you're running a small business, there's nothing wrong with purchasing cheap herbs yourself.

Profits are all earned through thrift.

Taking advantage of his time away from home, he completed the experiments on Dahei step by step, and the results were extremely good.

Although the blood transformation is slow, Dahei's blood is indeed improving.

In this way, Dahei and Sanqian were both promoted to the second-order monster level.

During the experiment on Dahei, Shen Lian also mobilized the mystery of the Tianyan Fire Domain to nourish the purchased black phoenix eggs.

After several years of nurturing, Erwan had indeed recovered some of his original vitality.

By the way, Erwan is Wu Feng.

Although Erwan was still in the eggshell, Shen Lian, a little master of naming, drew on Sanqian's naming experience and named his third fire spirit beast, Black Phoenix, Erwan.

Dahei, three thousand, twenty thousand.

At first glance, the names seem to be from the same source.

After realizing that the vitality of the 20,000 origins had recovered, he was not in a hurry to hatch them. Instead, he nurtured them with the Tianyan Fire Domain every once in a while, wanting to see if he could make their bloodline develop further inside the eggshell.

It doesn’t mean that the descendants of the third-level black phoenix bloodline will be 100% able to advance to the third level, but it just means that the probability of the descendants being promoted to the third level is very high.

What Shen Lian needs to do is to increase this probability infinitely to 80%, 90%, or even 100%.

Benxin Dan Shop, second floor.

[Keep calm, insight points +1]

[God has no external things, God's enlightenment point +1]

[Keep calm, insight points +1]

[Keep calm, insight points +1]

Shen Lian woke up from his practice and found an empty medicine bottle in front of him.

There is still a trace of medicinal power emanating from the bottle.

This is Qianji Powder used to temper the body. It is made with Qianrong Yuji Vine, a second-grade top-grade spiritual medicine, as the main ingredient.

In order to buy this spiritual medicine, Shen Lian spent 43,000 spiritual stones at the auction.

Taking into account all the other auxiliary medicines, the total price of this body-refining pill is close to 70,000 spirit stones.

But the effect was also very good, allowing his physical cultivation level to reach a level of solidity comparable to that of a second-grade top-grade magic weapon.
