"Let's focus on our cultivation for a while. We can talk about selling the scaled crucian carp after Weng Liang leaves," Jiang Xiaoyue said.
"Okay!" the fairy nodded.
The three of them opened the concealment restrictions of the formation, and each opened a small cave dwelling, with a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills in each person, and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Shenxian'er took out a Qi-Nourishing Pill and put it in her mouth.
The Qi Nourishing Pill is the best pill for the mid-stage of Qi Refining. A medium-quality Qi Nourishing Pill can help a cultivator absorb and tame spiritual energy within half an hour.
The fairy made a meditation mudra with both hands and maintained a special breathing technique.
Unlike before, this time a wisp of spiritual energy was quickly captured, which is one of the effects of the elixir.
Take Shenxian'er as an example. Without taking pills, she can only refine three strands of spiritual energy in half an hour. After taking the Qi Nourishing Pill—not counting the spiritual energy in the cave—she can refine nine strands in half an hour.
It increased efficiency by a full three times and reduced the risk of going astray.
Unfortunately, it takes two hours to expel the toxins from a medium-quality pill, which will affect the afternoon classes.
After a simple calculation, after taking the pill, one can only do morning and evening lessons a day, refining eighteen strands of spiritual energy.
Without taking any elixirs, one can refine nine strands of spiritual energy through morning, noon, and evening classes, which, in general, doubles the speed of cultivation.
If it's a top-grade elixir without any toxicity, then it's truly fast.
Shen Xian'er regretted not choosing pills back then, but if she had chosen pills, she wouldn't be able to afford pill cauldrons and pill formulas for a while, and she might even die on her way to Lake Mingfang because she lost the Golden Light Talisman and Fire Spirit Talisman.
There are no perfect choices in life.
The three of them cultivated for three consecutive days before emerging from seclusion.
Jiang Xiaoyue reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, Xu Ni reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and Shen Xian'er reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. All three of them advanced by one level.
"I really wish I could stay in seclusion like this forever," Xu Ni said, still wanting more.
"Then you'll need pills to keep you in seclusion forever. Without those pills, if you can sit quietly for two days, I'll test your breathing to see if you're bored to death," Jiang Xiaoyue said sarcastically.
The fairy smiled.
Xu Ni rolled her eyes, then perked up and said, "Let's go fishing, sell the fish for spirit stones, buy pills, and then continue cultivating!"
The three walked out of the cave.
The water-repelling talisman pasted on the wall is already half wet; this is the sixth one.
“This won’t do. The expenses are too high. We need to spend money to buy a water-avoidance formation,” Jiang Xiaoyue said.
"It's a pity the gold net was sold, otherwise fishing would have been much easier and more efficient," Xu Ni reminisced.
She ate the fish-sucking grass and was the first to create a water curtain at the cave entrance.
"Bang!"
Xu Ni's arm exploded.
The bright red blood, like silk, floated in the water and crashed against the water curtain.
Shen Xian'er and Jiang Xiaoyue were stunned.
Xu Ni was in so much pain that she almost fainted. She had clearly taken the fish-sucking grass, but now she felt a suffocating sensation, a sharp pain, an intense fear, and a fear of death.
Before she could react, she had already been caught.
A spirit-sealing talisman was affixed to her body. Weng Liang reached out and embraced her, gazing deeply into her eyes. Then, he turned to look at the two people in the water curtain.
"Open the formation." He smiled gently.
"Nizi!!" Shenxian'er and Jiang Xiaoyue finally snapped out of their shock, their clear eyes instantly becoming bloodshot.
"Open the formation." Weng Liang grabbed Xu Ni by the neck.
Blood flowed from Xu Ni's severed arm, which looked like a deformed arm made of blood vessels. She was pale and bewildered.
Behind Weng Liang, three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators smiled broadly. One of them, a woman, was none other than the former leader of the Tribulation Cultivators!
"Fellow Daoist Weng, let them throw out their storage bags first," the woman said with a charming smile, but her words were vicious. "Otherwise, what if they have fire spirit talismans again once we go in?"
“Fellow Daoist Chen is absolutely right,” Weng Liang said with a smile. “Xiao Yue, Xian’er, throw out all your storage bags and magic artifacts if you still want this girl to live.”
"Leave me alone."
Just as Xu Ni finished speaking, her other arm was dislocated by a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, causing her petite body to spasm in pain.
"You still have two legs," the man said coldly.
“Wrong,” the nun surnamed Chen said with a smile, “breasts and buttocks can also be cut off, making them flat and smooth, that’s what a real human stick is.”
"Nizi!" Jiang Xiaoyue, clutching the golden talisman and holding the carrying pole, was about to rush out.
The fairy grabbed her arm.
"Xiaoyue, calm down! As long as we don't go out, they won't dare kill Nizi!"
“We wouldn’t dare?” Weng Liang chuckled. “How long can you survive in the cave? What will you eat? Once you’re dead, we can still go in and take over this place.”
