Keeping a low profile in the world of cultivating immortals

It was in the morning, and the scorching sun in the sky was shining on the entire West City.

Wu Tao was walking on Anning Street, passing by individual cultivators one by one. He turned the corner and glanced at the corner wall with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but freeze. There were three reward notices posted on the wall.

The paper has turned yellow, and the writing on it has begun to blur. Some words such as 'reward', 'tribulation repair' and 'zhoudu' can be vaguely seen, and the three black heads on it are also blurred.

The casual cultivators passing by didn't even look at it and just walked by.

It can be seen from this reaction that the casual cultivators have selectively forgotten about the calamity cultivator.

Wu Tao just glanced at him and continued on his way. He came to an elixir shop and walked in. As soon as the cultivator in the elixir shop saw Wu Tao, he greeted him familiarly: "Fellow Daoist Li, you are here, you are still the same as before. ?”

Since Wu Tao lived in the inner city, he always bought Qi Condensing Pills from this elixir shop. After going back and forth, he became familiar with the shopkeeper. Occasionally he would stay in the shop to chat, drink spiritual tea, and eat some spiritual elixirs. fruit.

"No, no Qi Condensing Pill today. Fellow Daoist Sun, please introduce me to a better pill." Wu Tao responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Sun immediately introduced: "In this case, then I recommend the Purple Spirit Pill to Fellow Daoist Li. The spiritual energy content of one pill is comparable to five Qi Condensing Pills, and the purity of the spiritual energy is higher, and the absorption and transformation are smoother."

Wu Tao was moved and asked: "I wonder how much a bottle of this Purple Spirit Pill costs?"

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Five pieces of medium-grade spiritual stone per bottle, ten pills per bottle. Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think?"

Wu Tao calculated in his mind that five mid-grade spiritual stones in a bottle was several times higher than the Qi Condensing Pill. If he consumed one pill a day, it would cost fifteen mid-grade spiritual stones a month. Well, it is within my tolerance range. Inside.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao said: "Please help me, fellow Taoist Sun, to get three bottles."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Sun immediately went to get three bottles of Purple Spirit Pill and put them on the counter. There was also a thumb-sized jade bottle. He pointed and said: "This is a package of Purple Spirit Pill, given as a gift."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Sun." Wu Tao put the Purple Spirit Pill into his storage bag, took out fifteen spiritual stones and paid the bill, then handed over his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, Li will take his leave."

Shopkeeper Sun invited: "Fellow Daoist Li, why don't you sit down and drink some tea and eat some spiritual fruit? The new white crispy melons that came out recently are very sweet. I bought several of them here."

Wu Tao waved his hand and said: "No, there are still things to deal with in the store, let's do it next time."

When shopkeeper Sun saw this, he had no choice but to say: "Well then, I'll bring one to fellow Taoist Li and go back to the shop to eat." After saying that, before Wu Tao could politely refuse, he went to the inner hall to bring out a white crispy melon and handed it over. Said: "Friend Daoist Li, take it and try it."

Seeing that it was difficult to refuse such kindness, Wu Tao had no choice but to accept it and thanked him: "Fellow Daoist Sun, you are so polite. Then I will take advantage of you and give it a try!"

Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "It's worthless, Fellow Daoist Li, walk slowly!"

After leaving Shopkeeper Sun's elixir shop, Wu Tao went directly back to his own magic weapon shop. As soon as he walked into the door of the magic weapon shop, a middle-aged male casual cultivator walked out and passed by Wu Tao.

Wu Tao's nose twitched as he heard Chen Yao inside shouting, "Fellow Taoist, please go slowly, welcome to come again next time." He looked at the middle-aged male casual cultivator again, and saw that he had merged into the crowd, leaving only his back, and he blinked In the meantime, all figures disappeared.

When Chen Yao saw that her senior brother was back, she walked over happily. When she saw Wu Tao at the door looking at something, she waved her hand in front of Wu Tao's eyes and asked, "Senior brother, what are you looking at?"

Wu Tao came back to his senses and said: "The casual cultivator just now... bought a magic weapon in the shop..."

When asked by Wu Tao, Chen Yao immediately put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "When it comes to casual cultivators, I get angry. I don't want to buy anything. I just look at this and that..."

Seeing her like this, Wu Tao smiled and said, "Isn't this normal? What's there to be angry about? Look, senior brother has brought you delicious food."

As he said this, Wu Tao lifted up the white crispy melon and showed it to Chen Yao.

Chen Yao smiled and said: "Brother, I have already eaten. Shopkeeper Wang just sent me a white crispy melon. So, I left it for you..." She pointed to the counter and saw two melons on the counter. White crispy melon.

"Okay!" Wu Tao felt a little helpless.

He took a step forward and looked back at the street. Casual cultivators were walking around on the street. He just smelled a familiar smell from the middle-aged male cultivator...

It was a long-lost taste...

When he used to live in Xinde Lane, he would take Hu Zi to the night incense collection place every morning to pour night incense. The smell of urine and feces was permeable there, and when he came out, his body would inevitably be contaminated by that smell.

But since I came to the inner city, every household no longer needs to pour tiger seeds and has a clean room, so I haven't smelled that smell for a long time.

Today, I smelled that familiar smell from the middle-aged male casual cultivator again. Although it was very light and the cultivators used cleaning techniques to clean it, there was still an undetectable smell left behind.

Wu Tao had tempered his body with the Body Tempering Technique, and his five senses and six senses were very sharp, so he was still able to smell it.

"Did that person come from the Western Outer City, or from the shanty towns of the inner city? But casual cultivators who are from these two places and still have smell on their bodies cannot afford to buy magic weapons..."

"No, he didn't buy any magic weapon. He just came to see it. Maybe he was eager to..."

Thinking of this, Wu Tao stopped thinking about it. He was going to practice in the practice room to try out the effectiveness of this new Purple Spirit Pill.

After eating two pieces of white crispy melon that Chen Yao left for him, and saying something to Chen Yao, Wu Tao came to the training room.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Wu Tao took out the Purple Spirit Pill and poured one pill into the palm of his hand. The Purple Spirit Pill was purple in color and had a pleasant smell of spiritual energy. Without hesitation, he raised his head and swallowed it.

As soon as the Purple Spirit Pill entered his mouth, Wu Tao felt pure spiritual energy. Just as Shopkeeper Sun said, the spiritual energy contained in this Purple Spirit Pill was greater than five Qi Condensing Pills.

Wu Tao quickly activated the Three Yang Gong and began to refine and absorb the Purple Spirit Pill.

After refining a purple spirit pill, Wu Tao stopped, with a happy look on his face, and said to himself: "If I still use the Qi Condensing Pill to practice, it will take me ten days to break through the fifth level of Qi refining, but now, at most three days, I can break through.”

Time passed slowly, and Wu Tao's life continued as usual.

On the way, Gu Mingsheng and his wife came to pick up the aura robe that Wu Tao had repaired, and told Wu Tao that tomorrow they would go to the wild mountains again to hunt monsters.

Wu Tao wishes him peace.

Three days later.

In the practice room, Wu Tao looked at the progress of the Three Yang Kung Fu.

Three Yang Gong·Qi Refining: Level 4 (99%)

It is said to be ninety-nine percent, but this person's information is only accurate to whole numbers, not single digits. If Wu Tao calculated the spiritual energy in his Dantian, it should reach ninety-nine, ninety-nine percent...

There is only one opportunity left to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

Wu Tao muttered silently in his heart, then swallowed the Purple Spirit Pill into his mouth. The Three Yang Kung immediately started to work, and the spiritual energy in his Dantian also rippled at this moment.

As time passes slowly, the spiritual energy in the Dantian becomes more and more full, and it has reached a peak. If it continues to be absorbed, it will overflow.

Wu Tao felt that the time had come, and immediately stirred up his Dantian to attack the invisible bottleneck.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

I only felt a roar in my dantian, and the dantian suddenly expanded in a circle, and the originally full spiritual energy was instantly covered.

"The fifth level of Qi refining is done!"

Wu Tao opened his eyes, with indescribable joy on his face.
