Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 41

[Chapter 41: The Fourth Level of Qi Refining (Please Collect)]

The next day.

In the cellar of the shed.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, looking at a small black jade bottle in his hand.

This is a bottle of “Mu Yuan Dan”, which is suitable for cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training who practice wood-attributed techniques to improve their cultivation, and it also has the effect of slightly stimulating the breakthrough of bottlenecks.

“Di Qi is still trustworthy, but he only sold a monster meat and bones for twenty spirit stones, which is a bit of a loss… This person must have made a lot of money from it…”

This was within Fang Xi’s expectations. What he wanted was to avoid trouble and complete the transaction quickly.

After all, he doesn’t have much time here.

In Daliang, Fang Xi left the convoy under the pretext of wanting to act alone.

Anyway, the caravan was moving slowly, and with his speed, he could catch up with them in just a few hours, which would be a two or three day journey.

If I can’t catch up… then I can’t catch up!
Anyway, I have done my best, there is nothing to say.

“It’s a pity that I can’t go to Baiqiao Tower, and I can’t sell Tai Sui meat anymore… Next time I kill a monster, I’ll disguise myself as a casual cultivator and sell it at the market…”

“Compared to Di Qi, Dan Ding Pavilion is the real shady one! A bottle of elixir sells for thirty spirit stones… I also put in a lot of money…”

Thinking of the various kinds of elixirs in Danding Pavilion and their high prices, Fang Xi couldn’t help but feel like gritting his teeth and gasping.

Is it easy for him to work so hard as a porter between the two worlds? In the end, all the profits were taken by this group of monopolists!
“Alas… Look at it more positively, cultivation is everything.”

Fang Xi calmed himself down and poured out a pill of ‘Mu Yuan Dan’ from the black jade bottle.

This pill is green all over, but it smells spicy.

He thought about it, swallowed it directly, and closed his eyes to refine it.

Not long after, Fang Xi’s expression moved, and he felt a vast and gentle spiritual energy exploding in his Dantian Qi Sea, stimulating the Changchun Jue to stir.

He couldn’t help but start practicing the third level of Changchun Jue, over and over again.

By the time Fang Xi came to his senses, he had been practicing martial arts for three hours without realizing it.

When he looked inward, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face: “I have actually reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining! It’s really not easy…”

God have mercy on him, he was already at the third level of Qi Refining when he traveled through time, and he still hasn’t reached the top in more than a year!

Now, I have finally cultivated this level of skills to the peak, and I can break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining!
“The power of the elixir is not bad!”

Fang Xi happily stroked the black jade bottle. There were two “Mu Yuan Dan” in the bottle, which should be enough for him to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining!

“Sure enough, sitting in meditation and practicing is too stupid, taking drugs is the way to go!”

“Moreover, this elixir contains spiritual energy. Taking the elixir mainly serves to refine the spiritual energy and medicinal properties in the elixir. Therefore, even in Daliang, one can still improve through cultivation…”

For a moment, Fang Xi wanted to go back to Daliang immediately to capture monsters and then exchange them for elixirs for cultivation.

But soon, he cut off this delusion!
If the cultivation level increases too quickly, it is easy to have an unstable foundation!
Moreover, the price of the elixir suitable for increasing mana and breaking through bottlenecks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining is even more expensive!
Not to mention, swallowing a large number of elixirs will cause the problem of elixir poisoning, which will definitely affect the subsequent breakthrough of the great realm!

“Selling a large amount of monster meat will not only depress the market, but also make it more costly than gain. It will also easily expose me…”

“I still have to be stable. I’m only seventeen and will be eighteen soon… No rush, no rush…”

Fang Xi looked at the Mu Yuan Dan in his hand and fell into deep thought.

One day later.

Fang Xi walked out of the shed with a hint of depression on his face.

He originally thought that by taking another Muyuan Pill, he would be able to break through the bottleneck.

However, he did not expect that one pill was not enough. He continued to take the last Mu Yuan Pill before he broke through the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi Refining and became a mid-level cultivator of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

“Qualifications!”

Fang Xi vaguely felt that his inferior spiritual roots would become an increasingly bigger obstacle on his road to immortality.

The Qi Refining Stage is not so bad. Although various elixirs that increase magic power are not common, they can always be bought as long as you are willing to spend spirit stones.

The magic power-enhancing elixirs needed for the foundation-building overhaul can only be found at the Qingzhu Mountain Market’s auction held once every ten years.

Not to mention that once you reach the Jindan level, both the pill formula and the elixir that is hundreds of years old will become extremely scarce and rare.

It is simply unrealistic to rely solely on the power of the elixir to rush forward, even if there is no elixir poison!

“Spiritual roots…Spiritual roots…I wonder if there is any way to improve spiritual roots?”

Fang Xi fell into deep thought.

According to the spiritual root theory of the immortal cultivation world, every cultivator with spiritual roots must have all five elements, but one or several of them are more prominent. The longest piece of wood determines the cultivator’s qualifications.

Fang Xi himself has a lower-grade wood spiritual root, which means that among his five elements of spiritual roots, the wood spiritual root is the strongest, but it has only reached the level of a lower-grade spiritual root.

Above the lower-grade spiritual roots, there are also middle-grade and upper-grade spiritual roots, and even the legendary earth spiritual roots and heavenly spiritual roots—these are all just rumors. Once they appear, they will definitely attract the super sects to fight for the Dan-forming seeds! The reserve of future strongmen!

“But… I don’t seem to have heard of any method that can improve spiritual roots? Maybe it’s because my previous incarnation’s cultivation was too low and my experience was not enough?”

“If spiritual roots can be improved after birth, why would the sect still need to recruit disciples with excellent spiritual roots? Therefore, even if there are disciples, the price must be very high…”

“Ah… In one word, difficult!”

Fang Xi silently worried about his own path.

He walked into the courtyard, and a tiny seed suddenly appeared in his hand.

This is the weeds he picked up when he was a spiritual farmer here – the seeds of Tieluo grass!

This weed has no beneficial effects, but it is very tough, comparable to steel.

Fang Xi took out these seeds in order to practice magic!

When his cultivation level was promoted to the middle stage of Qi Refining, he could finally get rid of the embarrassment of only being able to weed and cast rain spells in the early stage of Qi Refining, and practice the first-level middle-grade spells!

And the spell he was going to practice was called “Entanglement”, which was a small spell recorded in the “Eternal Spring Technique” technique.

The main purpose is to use mana to stimulate the growth of seeds, forming vines to entangle and bind the enemy!
It’s a common magic spell for a common skill… that’s all it has.

Fang Xi recalled the spell while exerting his magic power and throwing out the seeds.

Pah!
The seeds fell to the ground and remained motionless for a long time…

“The spell failed…”

Fang Xi sighed.

He has never been a genius in cultivating immortals.

Fortunately, the casting of spells can be mastered through repeated practice.

Fang Xi did not require immediate combat, so he could recite the spell slowly, and do the same with the hand gestures, in order to reduce the difficulty.

Half a day later.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Accompanied by waves of complex and difficult to pronounce syllables, Fang Xi clasped his hands together and threw out the Tieluo grass seeds.

“When Changchun issues an order, all trees will sprout!”

The next moment, Fang Xi felt that the magic power in his body was like a dam that had opened and instantly poured out!

The iron grass seeds that fell on the ground exploded quickly, and produced black leaves about ten feet long with sharp serrations on the edges, which strangled a wooden stake.

Snap! Snap!
The iron grass was like a giant python, constantly tightening, and the wooden stakes in it shattered in an instant, with countless wood chips flying everywhere.

“This power… is just okay.”

“At the critical moment, I still have to rely on my fists!”

When Fang Xi saw this scene, he couldn’t tell how disappointed he felt.

“Haha…what a great wood magic!”

At this moment, a cry of praise suddenly came from outside the wall.

Fang Xi looked over and saw his next-door neighbor Chen Ping. He couldn’t help but smile: “No, no… It can’t compare to the flexibility and destructive power of Daoist friend’s fire spells.”

Perhaps this person is the only one who can brag with him about business.

Chen Ping’s martial arts skills were even worse than his. The only spell he had was the fireball spell. He had really mastered it over the years and had become very good at it.

“However, this entanglement technique is a first-level mid-grade spell. Could it be you, Fellow Daoist Fang?”

Chen Ping suddenly looked at Fang Xi in surprise.

“Haha… by chance, I finally broke through to the middle stage of Qi Refining!”

Fang Xi had never intended to hide his progress in cultivation.

What he really wanted to hide was his own physical cultivation.

“I see. Congratulations, fellow Taoist.”

Chen Ping bowed solemnly, with envy in his eyes.

His aptitude was really average, and it was extremely difficult for him to practice and break through.

At this time, Chen Ping continued: “I happened to meet a Taoist friend, so I told him… I’m moving.”

“Oh? Why?”

Fang Xi was stunned.

Is Chen Ping no longer a spiritual farmer?

“To be honest, after receiving the inheritance from the sect’s talisman master, my talisman-making skills have improved a little, and now I am already a first-class mid-grade talisman master…”

Chen Ping answered proudly.

This time, it was Fang Xi who envied Chen Ping.

This mid-level talisman master is much more valuable than a mid-level Qi Refining master.

“This is so unfair… A talisman master is barely at this level. Chen Ping had a hard time drawing a low-grade first-level spiritual talisman before, so how come he suddenly got it?”

Fang Xi couldn’t figure it out.

Chen Ping touched his head and smiled innocently: “Also… Fellow Daoist Lu saw that I was diligent and was impressed by my talent in the art of talismans. He is willing to stay and guide me for a few days. He will not leave in the short term…”

“…” Fang Xi was even more speechless. He suppressed the twitching of his mouth and congratulated: “Congratulations to you for your sincerity and determination!”

The world of immortal cultivation does not value first or second marriage. Even female cultivators can have three thousand male lovers and be praised by everyone.

Because in terms of “strength”, female cultivators can also practice and achieve breakthroughs, and are not inferior to male cultivators in any way.

The equality of power is the root of true equality!
Lu Zhi has a high level of cultivation, good looks, and a large inheritance…

At this moment, Fang Xi felt a little sour.

After sighing, Fang Xi suddenly recalled the interaction between Fairy Yunmeng and others and Chen Ping: “Maybe… this fellow Daoist Chen… really has a unique charm?”

However, he looked left and right and still couldn’t figure it out. Besides, if there really was a secret, why did Chen Ping do so badly before?

“Haha… When Fellow Daoist Lu and I become a couple, Fellow Daoist Fang will definitely give me a glass of wine!”

Chen Ping laughed heartily, full of high spirits.
