Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Because it was an exchange meeting between alchemists, most people took action or asked for spiritual plants after taking the stage. The transaction process was very fast, and within half an hour it was Zhou Yiqiao's turn.

He walked up to the high platform, changed his voice and saluted everyone.

"Seniors, who among you is a casual cultivator who is new to Foundation Establishment, but has been suffering from the lack of a suitable alchemy furnace, so the alchemy process has been stagnant since Foundation Establishment."

"Today I am asking the seniors for a second-level alchemy furnace. The juniors can use enough spiritual stones to trade with you."

Zhou Yiqiao lowered his body and expressed his difficulties in a sincere tone.

It is not uncommon for casual alchemy masters to lack alchemy furnaces, and everyone is not surprised. On the contrary, they smile kindly to the monks among them who are exploring on their own.

As soon as Zhou Yiqiao said this, several messages entered his mind.

He found the owners of the various transmissions among the crowd, and after some weighing, he finally chose a middle-aged male cultivator wearing a blue shirt.

There is no other reason. This person is only in the middle stage of foundation building, and his cultivation level is frivolous. He is the one with the lowest cultivation level among several people. Even if the other party has ulterior motives, Zhou Yiqiao can have the greatest chance of escaping.

"Thank you all seniors. I have received your favorite message. I won't delay you all here."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed his hands and returned to his seat to communicate with the other party.

After some haggling, the two finally exchanged 3,200 spirit stones for a second-level mid-level pill furnace called the "Five Elements Gathering Furnace".

The transaction between the two parties was completed, and the entire exchange meeting officially ended. After Elder Yaoxin encouraged everyone, everyone in the inner hall dispersed.

Although he had obtained the alchemy furnace as he wished, Zhou Yiqiao did not leave Yaoyang City immediately for the sake of caution. After staying at an inn in the city for a few days, he changed his outfit and quietly returned to Jinxia Mountain.

In addition to the four rare spiritual plants needed for the Star Spirit Pill, Zhou Yiqiao has already collected the spiritual plants needed for the Spirit-Gathering Pill and the Soul-Yun Pill. At this time, he can't wait to get the pill furnace.

After activating the Qianyuan Sword Formation, Zhou Yiqiao plunged into the moonstone space, where he spent several days ripening the spiritual plants.

The main medicine of Juling Dan needs at least two hundred years, and the main medicine of Yunyuan Dan needs at least three hundred years.

Even if Zhou Yiqiao's black spiritual soil ripening efficiency has been greatly improved after he advanced to the foundation building stage, he will not be able to separate the spiritual plants needed for the Spirit-Gathering Pill and the Spirit-Yunling Pill until he returns to reality exhausted. Two hundred and eighty portions were ripened.

Since it was the first time to ripen the spiritual plants needed for the foundation building period, Zhou Yiqiao silently calculated the cost of the spiritual stones in his mind.

This time, it cost a total of 2,600 spiritual stones to replenish the spiritual power of the black spiritual soil. Each portion consumed an average of ten spiritual stones, which was far more than ten times higher than the cost of a pill during the Qi Refining Period.

You must know that this is still the situation after Zhou Yiqiao has the Moon Stone Space, which greatly reduces the cost. If an ordinary alchemist gathers a spiritual plant, even if it is all self-sufficient, it will still require at least more than a hundred spiritual stones.

The cost is high, and the price of the elixir has naturally doubled. Just one bottle of Juyuan Dan on the market requires three hundred spirit stones, and one bottle of Yunling Dan requires four hundred spirit stones.

Therefore, in the Liang Kingdom, after most casual cultivators advanced to foundation building, they no longer had the money to purchase elixirs to improve their cultivation. The wealth in the wealthy couple's land has been wasted on many foundation-building monks.

After Zhou Yiqiao simply slept for three hours to regain his energy, he immediately entered the alchemy room and tried to refine the foundation-building elixir.

After all, it is a foundation-building elixir, and the difficulty increases several times. Zhou Yiqiao plans to start practicing with the simplest spirit-gathering elixir.

Perhaps it was everyone's theories at the exchange meeting that gave him an idea, but after more than thirty furnaces failed, Zhou Yiqiao successfully refined the first furnace of Spirit Gathering Pill.

Although it was only a finished pill, and the impurities in the pill had not been completely removed, it still refreshed his spirit.

Zhou Yiqiao continued to improve his refining techniques, and after refining the remaining hundred or so Spirit Gathering Pills, he barely had a 10% success rate, and could produce at least three pills in one furnace.

He was quite satisfied with this, so he simply took advantage of the victory and pursued it, and also tried to refine the spirit-containing pill.

It was already a month later when all the spiritual plants were squandered by Zhou Yiqiao.

Putting six bottles of Spirit-Gathering Pill and one and a half bottles of Soul-Calling Pill into his storage bag, Zhou Yiqiao was in no hurry to continue ripening the elixir to improve his proficiency.

An overly tense state is not conducive to spiritual practice. Zhou Yiqiao recorded the experience of refining the medicine one by one, and went to the outer gate to spend half a day checking Zhao Lexin's practice, which was considered a holiday for himself.

Zhao Lexin also brought an unexpected surprise to Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao had previously handed over the management of the sales of Qi Refining Stage elixirs to Zhao Lexin, and also secretly asked him to help him collect spiritual plants.

Through some unknown means, Zhao Lexin managed to collect all the four-flavored spiritual plant seeds that Zhou Yiqiao lacked in refining the Star Spirit Pill.

Although Zhou Yiqiao was self-interested, he was not stingy. He rewarded Zhao Lexin with two bottles of Qingyuan Pill and returned to Jinxia Mountain with the seeds.

From then on, Zhou Yiqiao practiced refining two furnaces of each of the three types of elixirs every day, and summarized his experience in elixir refining in his notebooks.

After finishing the elixir practice, Zhou Yiqiao would take the spiritual elixir to practice the Seven Killings of Breaking the Cocoon. With the help of the foundation-building elixir, his spiritual power, which was originally slow to advance, began to grow at several times the speed.

After completing his training, he will also master the Seven Kills Sword Art. For Zhou Yiqiao, this is his temporary trump card and will naturally not be wasted.

In addition to intensive training, he would also go to the sect's Sutra Collection Pavilion to learn basic foundation-building techniques.

In this way, time flies by, and the three years of solid cultivation have disappeared without a trace.

……

"Senior Brother Zhou, here is the income from this month's elixir. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

In the cave of Jinxia Mountain, Zhao Lexin said respectfully.

Looking at the childish Zhao Lexin, Zhou Yiqiao threw out a bottle of Qingyuan Pill and said.

"Junior brother has just advanced to the fifth level of Qi refining. Remember not to be eager for quick success. If something happens, senior brother will send someone to notify you. You can go down first."

Zhao Lexin took the elixir, repeatedly claimed that it was true, and walked away.

In the past three years, Zhao Lexin has been solving chores for Zhou Yiqiao, and he has become extremely smooth. Zhou Yiqiao used comfort and naturally rewarded him with many pills. Otherwise, with Zhao Lexin's qualifications of the four spiritual roots, he would not be able to help Zhao Zhen in three years. Unable to advance to the fifth level of Qi refining.

Watching the other party leave, Zhou Yiqiao took out the Gale Sword and a compass and practiced them as a ritual every day.

This compass is called Sikong Pan, and it is a low-grade defensive spiritual weapon purchased by Zhou Yiqiao when he participated in a careful auction three years ago.

After nurturing the two spiritual weapons, Zhou Yiqiao had just put them into the storage bag when a shock came from them.

Zhou Yiqiao touched the storage bag and took out a white jade token.

This is the identity token that symbolizes the disciples of the inner sect. This token will only tremble slightly when the sect is summoned for something.
