The next morning, just as the morning hour arrived, Chu Ci woke up slowly.

Logically speaking, with Chu Ci's level of cultivation, it would be impossible to recover from such consumption of spiritual energy without five or six hours of sleep.

But he had three spirit gathering talismans on his body, which greatly improved his recovery speed, so he woke up full of energy in about two hours.

Chu Ci found it a little unbelievable about the breakthrough in his cultivation. He felt his body carefully. After a long while, he was sure that he had really broken through the first level of Qi Refining and was now at the second level.

In fact, this is not surprising. He has been in the first level of Qi Refining Stage for three years. Although he has not broken through the bottleneck, his spiritual power has naturally increased.

He experienced a time travel yesterday, and continued to make talismans to consume his spiritual energy. Coupled with the effects of the three spirit gathering talismans, it was not surprising that he broke through the bottleneck overnight.

Chu Ci's spiritual awareness can now reach about ten feet outside the body, and the spiritual power in his body has almost doubled. Even his body seems to be stronger.

Chu Ci was naturally overjoyed, but the second level of Qi Refining was not his goal. After breakfast, he hurried to the service hall, ready to look for Wei Meng.

The Jinfu Gate's menial service hall was located in a large open area, surrounded by fifteen or sixteen large courtyards.

Hundreds of disciples live there, yet each is still guaranteed a single room.

The sect does this because it is beneficial for cultivators to live alone in their practice. This treatment is considered the lowest in the Jinfu Sect.

If you can become a formal disciple, you can have a separate courtyard.

Once the foundation is successfully laid, the sect will develop a separate cave for the person to practice.

As for the several Jindan stage elders in the sect, each of them owns a mountain, which has a spiritual medicine garden, spiritual beast room, training room, etc.

The Jinfu Sect is located in a section of the Xuanling Mountains, with a total of about a hundred large and small peaks.

So even with this kind of living, 60% of the mountains are still vacant.

Wei Meng was of the lowest status among the menial disciples, so he lived in the lower courtyard. At this moment, he was enjoying a beauty illusion talisman alone in the house.

"Knock knock knock" Chu Ci's knock on the door sounded at an inopportune time.

"Who is it?" Wei Meng's somewhat nervous voice came out.

"Fatty, I'm Chu Ci. I'm here to talk to you about something." When Wei Meng heard it was Chu Ci, he cursed in his heart. He was at a critical moment and was interrupted like this, and all his interest was gone.

"Coming, coming." Wei Meng's impatient voice came from the room, mixed with a rustling sound.

After a while, the door was slowly opened, and Wei Meng's fat face appeared.

Chu Ci took a look and was surprised. It had only been one night since they last met, but it seemed as if the fat guy had lost a lot of weight.

On his greasy and decadent face, two large dark circles were particularly conspicuous. Wei Meng poked his head out and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, he opened the door and let Chu Ci in.

"It's so early in the morning, I'm still asleep, why are you here, you..."

Before Wei Meng finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Chu Ci and said, "Chu Ci, you broke through?!"

Then he took another closer look and asked in an incredulous tone, "Oh my God, you really have reached the second level of Qi Refining."

"Well! I had some insights when I was practicing yesterday." Chu Ci smiled slightly, then changed the subject and said,

"Fatty, you don't look like you're still asleep, but you look like you haven't slept all night."

Wei Meng smiled awkwardly: "Senior Brother Fei Cheng's batch of talismans are really well made..."

"Fatty, these are the two beauty illusion talismans I promised you yesterday." As he said that, Chu Ci handed over two beauty illusion talismans.

"Hehe, Chu Ci, you are really polite. I feel a little embarrassed." Wei Meng said this, but his hand took it.

"A mid-grade talisman!" Wei Meng was greatly surprised. He took the talisman in his hand and looked at it over and over again for a long time in disbelief. One of the talismans should be the one he gave to Chu Ci yesterday.

The amount of spiritual energy flowing on the other one showed that it was a medium-grade talisman.

Chu Ci smiled and said, "How about it? I keep my word, right?"

"Where did this come from?" Wei Meng asked subconsciously. He didn't believe that Chu Ci could refine a mid-grade talisman with his ability.

"This was given to me by a senior brother in exchange for talisman paper and cinnabar. Since it is not convenient for him to show up, I promised to keep it a secret for him."

Chu Ci said what he had prepared long ago.

"Oh..." Wei Meng looked as if he had suddenly realized something. He thought to himself, no wonder there was a mid-grade talisman, it turned out that it was made by a master.

Then he said excitedly: "This kind of mid-grade beauty illusion talisman is always bought by the disciples of wealthy families every time someone refines it. I have only heard of it but never seen it."

"Do you want to try it?" Chu Ci asked with a smile.

"No, I have to keep it." Wei Meng flatly refused.

"Look what this is?" Chu Ci said as he took out the beauty illusion talisman he had refined last night.

"Hiss~" Wei Meng was shocked. He didn't expect that Chu Ci actually had so many beautiful woman illusion talismans, and at first glance, most of them were mid-grade talismans.

I couldn't help but say: "Chu Ci, you are..."

"Didn't I just say that a senior brother asked me to exchange talisman paper and cinnabar, so he gave me these things."

"Exchange? How?" Wei Meng's eyes lit up.

"Fatty, what do you think is the best way to exchange it?" Chu Ci was not too sure about the market price of the mid-grade beauty illusion talisman, so he still had to ask Wei Meng for advice.

Wei Meng shook his head: "I have never exchanged for a mid-grade beauty illusion talisman. I heard that once it appeared, it was exchanged by some rich young masters. But I think that a mid-grade talisman can be exchanged for fifty pieces of talisman paper and five bottles of cinnabar. It should be no problem."

Chu Ci calculated in his mind that one low-grade beauty illusion talisman could be exchanged for twenty pieces of talisman paper.

Generally speaking, the market price of a first-grade talisman of the same type, a mid-grade one should be about three times that of a low-grade one.

By this calculation, fifty pieces of talisman paper seem to be relatively normal.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci stretched out four fingers: "Forty pieces. One mid-grade beauty illusion talisman. That senior brother only needs forty pieces of talisman paper and four bottles of cinnabar."

"Forty?!" Wei Meng exclaimed.

"Yes, that senior brother said so," Chu Ci paused and asked,

"Fatty, I'm going to leave this to you. No matter how you exchange it, I only want this amount for each mid-grade talisman. For low-grade talismans, I'll charge twenty. What do you think?"

When Wei Meng heard this, he immediately became excited: "Are you serious? How about this, if you really let me do it, we can split the talisman paper we earn in half."

"That's not necessary, but you must remember that you must never tell anyone else about that senior brother's affairs. That senior brother is a formal disciple who has reached the perfect stage of Qi Refining. If he knew that we leaked his secret, he would definitely not let us go!" At this point, Chu Ci looked worried and scared.

When the fat man heard that the other party was at the perfect state, he was also very scared and said quickly:

"Don't worry, we are just exchanging things without asking about their origins. This is the rule. And I only exchange with those uneducated and unskilled disciples. They only want the talismans and don't care about other things." The fat man said confidently, and then, afraid that Chu Ci was still worried, he quickly added: "If anyone asks me where the things came from, I won't sell them to him!"

Chu Ci nodded and agreed with Wei Meng to come back to see him in two hours. Then he gave Wei Meng a few more instructions before turning around and leaving.

He planned to use this time to go to a place, Silver Pine Peak.

Because he remembered that there was a small market there, and many disciples of the Jin Fu Sect often went there to exchange some cultivation resources.
