The two parties made an agreement, and Guan Sheng handed over the Exorcise Evil Spirits Pill Formula and enough spiritual medicine to refine twenty Exorcise Evil Spirits Pills to Han Yi.
Grateful for this trust, Han Yi felt moved in his inner heart.
Next,
He left twenty Spirit Stones and used the remaining twenty to buy raw materials for refining Nurturing Qi Pills and some extra Spirit Sand. Then, he left the Fire Profound Pill Shop and hurried back home.
Just as a quarter-hour passed since he left, Jiang De descended from the second floor of the shop, his eyes filled with a slightly gloomy stare at Guan Sheng.
“Old Guan, what kind of game are you playing?”
“Aren’t you afraid that this little brat will really take the money and run?””
“We won’t even talk about the pill formula for now, but those twenty sets of materials alone are quite valuable.”
Jiang De’s face showed a hint of anger. He resented that Guan Sheng hadn’t consulted him before making the decision and had taken charge on his own.
Guan Sheng put away his usual smile, met Jiang De’s eyes, and squinted slightly.
“I’ve said it before, this kid is just a scapegoat.”
“You don’t need to interfere in how this is handled; I’ll take care of it.”
The tone of Guan Sheng’s voice did not convey too much emotion, but it sent a shiver down Jiang De’s spine. However, the anger he held within him still hadn’t subsided.
“Fine, since Old Guan said so, I won’t interfere anymore.”
“However, I’ll report this matter truthfully to the hall master. It’s up to you to come up with an explanation.”
With that, Jiang De flicked his sleeves, turned, and walked back to the second floor.
Behind him, Guan Sheng stared at his retreating figure, a cold smile lingering in the corners of his mouth.
“Fool, just because you have some backing doesn’t mean you can act recklessly and scheme behind the scenes.”
This cold smile was fleeting and instantly vanished.
Afterward, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
“However, this kid Han Yi, being able to refine three successful Nurturing Qi Pills in such a short time, his Alchemy Skill has made great progress.”
“The better.”
“Such a person is more convincing as a scapegoat.”
“The plan is feasible.”
…
On the other hand, after returning to his courtyard, Han Yi activated the array disk, locked the yard, and took out all his belongings.
Han Yi started to take inventory.
Nurturing Qi Pill materials, Exorcise Evil Spirits Pill materials, Exorcise Evil Spirits Pill formula, Spirit Stones, Spirit Sand, other miscellaneous items.
He didn’t immediately try to refine the Exorcise Evil Spirits Pill or continue refining the Nurturing Qi Pills.
Instead, he picked up a Spirit Stone and began cultivating.
Realm is the foundation. As one’s realm improves, the quality and quantity of mana within the body can be enhanced, paving the way for alchemy and other skills.
On this point, Han Yi was clear.contemporary romance
Before his Alchemy Skill breakthrough, he had always been short of Spirit Stones and Spirit Sand, never having more than ten pieces.
As he also had the points task hanging over his head, it was almost impossible to use Spirit Stones directly for cultivation. He could only use them sparingly when replenishing his mana.
But now it was different.
After the breakthrough in his Alchemy Skill and the addition of the Proficiency Panel, Han Yi looked forward to his future with great anticipation.
As long as he continued to refine pills, sold the refined medicines, and earned Spirit Stones, he could divide them in half for cultivation and half for purchasing refining materials, refining more pills, and making more money.
So the cycle would go on, and the Immortal Path would be within reach.
Han Yi closed his eyes, activated the Fire Profound Skill, and immediately his whole body’s pores opened up, absorbing the Spirit Energy in the air.
However, there was no Spirit Vein here, and the Spirit Energy in the air was so scarce that it was pitiful. No matter how hard he tried to absorb it, it was barely detectable.
Without Spirit Stones, this round of cultivation would take ages to show any significant progress.
Under normal circumstances,
A cultivator’s cultivation speed depends on two core factors.
One is physique, and the other is the environment.
Physique, plainly put, is one’s Spiritual Root. Cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots absorb Spirit Energy at a rate more than ten times faster than those with mixed Spiritual Roots.
Different physiques mean different affinities for Spirit Energy. Therefore, the amount of Spirit Energy absorbed per unit of time varies, leading to significant differences in cultivation progress.
Environment refers to the richness of Spirit Energy during cultivation. For example, the Spirit Veins within the Xuandan Sect Inner Peak are at least Third-stage, making them far richer than the First-stage or Second-stage veins of the Outer Peak.
At the extreme, place a pig within a Ninth-stage or higher Immortal Vein, and even if it only eats and sleeps, it might become an immortal.
As for the cultivation environment, in addition to Spirit Veins, there is also the assistance of Spirit Stones for cultivation.
At this moment.
Although there were no spirit veins here, the spirit stone in Han Yi’s palm, under the pull of his body, a weak warmth like a hair flowed into his body. Receiving the nourishment of this spirit energy, the mana inside his body suddenly became more lively and flowed more quickly.
Sunrise and sunset.
Crack!
Han Yi slowly opened his eyes only when a crisp sound entered his ears.
He looked down at his palm, the once gray-white spirit stone had shattered into fine powder, turning to dust and disappearing at his fingertips with just a light grip.
Shifting his gaze, Han Yi then felt the mana within his body without a significant change.
Then, Han Yi looked at the Proficiency Panel.
[Realm: Qi Cultivating Second Layer (24/100)]
“Not bad, a single spirit stone increased the progress by 5 points, a great improvement.”
Only at this moment did a look of joy emerge on his face.
For the previous seven days, without a spirit stone for cultivation, the progress had been stuck at 19/100. This time, using a spirit stone for cultivation, the progress was quite evident.
If aptitude is lacking, use spirit stones to make up for it.
This path was working.
Next.
Han Yi then began a crazy cultivation mode. After consuming ten spirit stones, he began a process of refining pills while using spirit stones to recover mana and practicing at the same time.
With the progress of the Alchemy Skill, the success rate of refining Nurturing Qi Pills this time had reached 60%.
Of the ten sets of Nurturing Qi Pill materials he purchased, six furnaces were made, and one of the furnaces even produced twelve pills in top-quality.
In the end, a total of fifty-eight Nurturing Qi Pills were produced, more than double the first time.
This made Han Yi extremely happy.
Looking at the Nurturing Qi Pills stored in the jade bottle, Han Yi’s sense of accomplishment exploded within his inner heart.
Next, he began to try refining exorcise evil spirits pills.
The difficulty of refining exorcise evil spirits pills was several times harder than that of Nurturing Qi Pills, especially because it was his first time refining them.
After failing five furnaces, the sixth furnace was finally a success.
In the end, only three furnaces were produced from twenty sets of materials, with a success rate of only 15%.
Such a success rate, if available within the Xuandan Sect, would be equivalent to the excellent alchemy skills of the outer disciples and profitable already.
As for the inner disciples, their success rate in refining exorcise evil spirits pills mostly reached 20% or even 30% and above.
By this time, two months had passed since Han Yi’s last outing.
“Indeed, there is no time in cultivation, two months have passed just like that.”
Han Yi sighed, his eyes falling on the semi-transparent panel in front of him.
[Name: Han Yi]
[Lifespan: 21/87]
[Realm: Qi Cultivating Second Layer (87/100)]
[Cultivation Technique: Fire Profound Skill (beginner 59/100)]
[Skills:
Alchemy Skill (entry-level 89/100)
Spirit Void Finger (learning-newbie 70/100)
]
“True enough, miracles come from hard work, twenty spirit stones directly pushed the realm, skyrocketing to an 87/100 progress.
There’s also progress in the cultivation technique.
The Alchemy Skill is about to break through too. Just being entry level allowed me to have such a high success rate in alchemy. If I break through to the next stage, wouldn’t it be even more exaggerated.
Can’t wait.”
After checking the panel, Han Yi was very satisfied with his current progress.
As long as he continued to work hard, steadily grew and played it safe, the Immortal Path was definitely attainable.
Feeling delighted.
Then, he set his eyes on the many jade bottles in front of him.
After pondering, he poured two of the successfully refined exorcise evil spirits pills into a new jade bottle.
This was his preparation in advance for the upcoming breakthrough to the third layer of Qi Cultivating.
After organizing the refined pills and confirming that they were all correct, he decided to head to the Xuandan Fire Pill Shop.
Although according to the requirements of the Xuandan Fire Pill Shop, they must gather once every quarter, he did not want to wait and instead went a month ahead, which was allowed.
