Inside the Lu family shop, the shopkeeper Lu Ming looked at Shen Lian with a smile on his face as he watched Shen Lian looking around outside.

As a long-time shopkeeper, Lu Ming understands independent cultivators very well.

A casual cultivator may not have spirit stones.

But sometimes the storage bag may contain large goods.

In places where independent cultivators gather, shops are very lenient about the spiritual objects they trade.

Minerals, elixirs, and even the best corpses of one's ancestors can all be used as substitutes for spirit stones.

The main purpose is to share what is available to make it easier for independent practitioners to practice.

"My Lu family has a second-level alchemist in charge. Every pill goes through hundreds of processes..."

When Shen Lian walked into the Lu family shop, he heard the shopkeeper talking.

Although he is a novice in alchemy now, he knows that making a first-level elixir requires at most ten steps from planting the herbs to making the pill.

Is this to test all the spirit beasts that applied spirit beast fertilizer during the growth process of the medicinal herbs?

I'm really afraid that the old shopkeeper will say that the elixir we have is organic.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a bottle of Huangyadan."

Shopkeeper Lu nodded, turned around, took out a white jade pill bottle from his storage bag, and placed it on the counter.

The pills in the shop were all placed in his storage bag, and those displayed outside were all fake and anyone could grab them.

"I'll exchange it for the Miasma Removal Talisman."

Shen Lian took out the miasma-removing talisman from his storage bag.

"Fellow Daoist, one Miasma Removing Talisman costs eight Spiritual Stones. This is the real-time price at Jubao Tower."

Hearing the sound, Shen Lian stuffed the miasma-removing talisman back into the storage bag.

"Then I will go to Jubao Tower to sell the anti-miasma talisman first, and then buy the Huangya Pill."

Jubao Tower charges eight yuan for the anti-miasma talisman, so the retail price outside is about nine or ten spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay."

Seeing Shen Lian turn around and leave, Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly went around the counter to try to keep him.

"Fellow Daoist, everything can be discussed.

Nine spirit stones would be fine.

My Lu family has received the anti-miasma talisman and needs to sell it, which also takes time."

This time, Shen Lian stopped, took out five anti-miasma talismans and five spirit stones, and put them on the counter.

After checking the anti-miasma talisman, Shopkeeper Lu Ming handed the medicine bottle to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian opened the medicine bottle, and a scent of medicine rushed into his nostrils.

He put away the Huangya Dan and turned to walk out of the Lu family shop.

However.

Just walked onto the street.

Shen Lian found that there were several more gazes on him.

Both far and near.

This made Shen Lian's face darken.

A bottle of Huangyadan can cause this kind of death.

Shen Lian had a feeling that some of the people looking at him had their back teeth clenched.

It is really not easy to be a free cultivator.

I am afraid that you will not endure hardship, and I am also afraid that you will buy elixirs.

"Uncle, I saw it clearly. He came out of the Treasure Pavilion first and exchanged a bottle of elixir. It should be the Yellow Bud Pill."

At the street corner, most people were busy with their own things.

Two figures gathered together, looking furtively at Shen Lian's receding back.

"You are only at the third level of Qi training, but you can go to the Treasure House and buy elixirs. You must have good fortune."

The older monk raised his hand and slapped the younger monk on the back of the head.

"This is a market town. Put your mind at ease and change your goal. Give up this one."

"Why? He is only at the third level of Qi training and has a bottle of Huangya Dan in his hand, so he is just right."

Snap——

The older monk slapped him again.

"Is your mind filled with shit? Which cultivator who bought the Yellow Bud Pill would not hide in his house to practice in seclusion?

A bottle of Huangyadan is not worth our effort in the market town. We might as well lose our lives if we are targeted by the law enforcement team.

Besides, by the time he finishes his training and comes out, we two will have done a lot of work."

Lin Xiang got slapped on the head, but there was still some unwillingness on his face.

"Uncle, the fat sheep we caught before were not fat at all, they were all very skinny.

At most, a person only sold his entire body for twenty spirit stones, which was not enough to buy even half a bottle of Huangya Dan.

In my opinion, we should target fellow Taoists who can afford the elixirs."

A firm belief appeared in the young monk's eyes.

"Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory?

I have memorized his appearance.

As long as he doesn't change his appearance, we can wait for him.

I just can't believe that he can stay in the house and refine the elixir.

As soon as he shows up outside the market, we will kill him.

…

Shen Lian walked through the alley and returned to his residence. Before closing the door, he looked at both sides of the alley.

I breathed a sigh of relief when no one followed me.

There aren't many good people in the market.

Fortunately, with the sign of Bishui Sect there, the independent cultivators dare not easily break into the house and rob openly.

——Except for the magic cultivators.

After dinner, Shen Lian sat cross-legged on the bed.

The flimsy little house was like a barrier, blocking out the chaos outside.

But it is not a real barrier and cannot isolate danger.

He took out the Huangyadan.

A bottle of Huangya Dan contains ten pills and costs fifty spirit stones.

It only takes two or three days to refine the medicinal power of a Huangya Pill with full strength.

He had been stuck at the third level of Qi training for a long time, and he didn't know whether this bottle of Huangya Dan could allow him to advance to the fourth level of Qi training.

This is the tragedy of having low spiritual root value, which means that the absorption of spiritual power is low.

Correspondingly, if one wants to advance to the same realm, the consumption will be higher than that of cultivators with other spiritual roots.

If a cultivator has superior spiritual roots, he does not need to rely on elixirs at all. He can advance to the middle stage of Qi training by directly refining spiritual energy.

Not only do they use less, but they also get promoted faster.

Cultivation costs more than others.

It is hard to imagine why the five spiritual roots were so favored in ancient times.

After getting the Huangya Pill, Shen Lian adjusted his daily schedule.

Spend most of the day refining the Huangya Pill, and the rest of the time making talismans.

Life like this is quite fulfilling.

But the noise outside the room was louder than usual.

The newly discovered mineral veins in the Wu area led to the Bishui Sect sending in several batches of independent cultivators.

Although Shen Lian did not go out, he often glanced at people outside through the crack in the door.

A large number of the independent cultivators who are willing to take the risk to open up new land are unruly by nature.

This led to more fighting in the market town.

There were fights even on the street of shops.

The Bishui Sect's law enforcement team was dispatched and killed more than a dozen wandering cultivators in the street, which intimidated the new cultivators.

Finally, the market became a little calmer.

However, the demon cultivators mixed in with the casual cultivators were not afraid of the killing by the Bishui Sect, and they still sneaked around in the market looking for their own blood food.

These have little to do with Shen Lian.

He prays every day that the evil cultivators won’t come after him, and goes to find the older brothers and sisters next door, who are very powerful and have tender meat.

He put cultivation first and would draw talismans only after finishing his cultivation every day.

The third level of Qi training belongs to the initial stage of Qi training, and the strength is too low.

The total amount of spiritual power in the body is limited, even the number of talismans that can be activated is limited.

The world outside is so chaotic right now, it would be a comfort to improve my strength a little bit.

More than twenty days passed.

Shen Lian sat cross-legged on the bed, his meridians filled with the medicinal power of the Huangya Pill.

He has refined all the yellow bud pills into his body.

Today is the time to break through.

He practiced Qian Yuan Gong, causing the medicinal power to circulate in his meridians.

Click——

A slight tingling sensation surged through the body, and the gathered medicinal power opened up a new meridian.

at the same time.

The aura on his body also suddenly increased.

The fourth level of Qi training!

After calming down for a while, Shen Lian opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

After traveling for more than half a year, I finally experienced the joy of cultivating immortals.

The spiritual energy flowing through the body has increased by about 50% compared to before.

"Fifty spirit stones, it's worth it."

Beep——

Shen Lian snapped his fingers.

A small flame appeared at the fingertips.

So cool, no need for a lighter.
