Chapter 535: Three Years of Retreat

"Could it be that this pill was also refined by Brother Qin?" Shi Mu asked.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Shi is too flattering. With my alchemy level, I still can't refine the bone-clearing soul pill. This pill was exchanged by me from another alchemy master by chance. If it wasn't for Recently, I want to buy a precious material, but I still lack a lot of mystic points, so I won’t sell it anyway.” Qin Shang said with a wry smile.

"Can I show you this pill?" Shi Mu said:

"Of course no problem." Qin Shang took out a green gourd and handed it over.

Shi Mu took the gourd and found circles of runes engraved on its surface, which seemed to be a special magic weapon.

"The Bone Cleansing Soul Pill needs to be stored with a special wood-type artifact in order to maintain its medicinal properties." Qin Shang explained.

Shi Mu nodded, opened the gourd, and found a pill the size of a longan in it, surrounded by green flames, fluctuating like spirituality, and emitting a strange medicinal fragrance.

Just smelling the fragrance of this medicine, he felt his mind was a bit clearer, as if his soul had been purified, as expected of the word "cleansing the soul" in his name.

Shi Mu's face was overjoyed. Although he didn't know much about the Bone Cleansing Soul Pill, it was the first time he had heard of it today, but just looking at the spirituality of this pill, this pill is definitely not trivial, and it has a great impact on breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation. effect.

"I don't know how much Brother Qin is asking for this pill?" Shi Mu asked after pondering for a moment.

"A thousand top-grade spirit stones." Qin Shang hesitated for a moment and said.

"Brother Qin, your elixir is good, but if you want a thousand top-grade spirit stones, Shi can only reluctantly give up, as long as those Yangzhi elixir are enough." Shi Mu shook his head and said.

Even with his current net worth, spending a thousand top-quality spirit stones to buy a pill is still somewhat unaffordable.

Qin Shang's face was a little anxious, he did not exaggerate the effectiveness of this 'Bone Cleansing Pill', but the price he spent in exchanging this pill back then was really high, if it was sold at a lower price, it would be too much of a disadvantage.

During this period of time, he had already recommended this elixir to several people, but it was a pity that the transaction was not successful because it was too expensive. How could he give up when he finally met a wealthy customer like Shi Mu today.

"Let's do this, eight hundred top-grade spirit stones, there can be no more. By the way, Qin has some panacea here, which are used to feed poultry spirit pets. They can quickly increase the strength of spirit pets, and they can be regarded as gifts from me As Qin Shang said, he waved his hand and took out a cyan jade bottle, which contained nearly a hundred grains of yellow elixir, and a slightly fishy medicinal fragrance emanated from it.

When Shi Mu smelled this smell, it was nothing. Cai'er smelled this smell, a gleam of red light appeared in her eyes immediately, and her body became a little restless.

Cai'er glanced at Shi Mu, although it didn't say anything, but Shi Mu clearly felt the desire conveyed by Cai'er, his brows frowned suddenly, and he began to think in his heart.

"Okay." He thought for a moment, then nodded.

Since Cai'er followed him, he was in a hurry except to cultivate and retreat. Apart from devouring some spirit stones for Cai'er, he didn't pay much attention to other aspects, and he felt quite indebted. Help is also great.

Qin Shang was overjoyed immediately, and waved his hand to take out a fiery red gourd, engraved with many spirit patterns on it, emitting a spatial fluctuation.

"This gourd is a magic storage tool, and I gave it to Brother Shi as well. The Yangzhi Pill is inside." Qin Shang said.

Shi Mu's eyes flickered slightly, he took the gourd, and his spiritual sense penetrated into it, and there were indeed 500 Yangzhi pills inside, as if countless fiery red bugs were flying in the storage space of the gourd.

Qin Shang handed the feeding elixir, bone cleansing soul elixir and other items to Shi Mu. Shi Mu didn't hesitate, first he took out the mysterious spirit wall, and through the tower spirit avatar of Xianyaozhai, he took out five hundred mysterious spirits. After paying the points, he selected 800 top-grade spirit stones from the storage ring and handed them to Qin Shang.

"Brother Shi is really a straightforward person. If you have any alchemy matters in the future, you can come to Qin." Qin Shang patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, if there is a need, I will definitely not be polite." Shi Mu laughed, and both parties were very happy.

Shi Mu didn't stay here any longer, and quickly took his leave.

"Shitou, hurry up and give me a panacea." Cai'er shouted impatiently as soon as she walked out of the Immortal Medicine Room.

Shi Mu took out the cyan jade bottle, and put a panacea here and there.

Cai'er immediately swallowed it in one gulp, closed her eyes slightly, a layer of faint yellow light appeared on her body, and she showed an extremely satisfied expression on her face.

But immediately, Cai'er's body swayed as if she was drunk.

Shi Mu's complexion changed slightly, and his spiritual sense penetrated into Cai'er's body, but he didn't find any abnormalities. This phenomenon of Cai'er was similar to the previous few times when she advanced into a deep sleep.

He was delighted, this panacea really lived up to its reputation, he quickly waved Cai'er into the spirit animal bag.

"Brother Shi, what a coincidence, I met you here!" Just as Shi Mu was about to leave, a voice came from the front, and a man in Tsing Yi came over, but it was Qing Changtian.

"So it's Brother Qing." Shi Mu didn't expect to meet Qing Changtian here, and greeted him.

"Hey, brother Shi, you are really hiding your secrets! You became famous in this big competition, and you were officially promoted to a high-ranking disciple. I haven't had time to congratulate you yet." Qing Changtian's gaze fell on Shi Mu's official On the clothes of the senior disciples, he said with some envy.

"Brother Qing won the prize. It is luck that I was able to be promoted to a high-ranking disciple. In fact, with Brother Qing's strength, if he changed his opponent in the competition, he would already be a high-ranking disciple at this moment." Shi Mu laughed.

"Hey, let's not talk about it." Qing Changtian shook his head quickly and said.

"By the way, Brother Qing came to Xianyao Zhai to buy pills?" Shi Mu asked.

"Yeah! In the past ten years, I really have been a bit of a waste of cultivation, and I have to make up for it in the future! It is said that Zhao Jian was taken away by the envoy of the sect. I am afraid that there will be a bigger reward, and Qing naturally does not want to Falling behind." Qing Changtian said.

Shi Mu's heart moved, Zhao Ji was actually taken away by the sect's escort messenger, he just found out about it.

"Since that's the case, Shi won't bother Brother Qing anymore, so let's leave now." Shi Mu cupped his hands, sacrificed the Qingyi speeding car, and flew towards the distance.

He went to Baizhen Valley again, bought a batch of materials for cultivation, and then returned to the cave.

"For the next time, I plan to practice behind closed doors, and I will leave it to you to arrange all the matters in the spiritual land." Shi Mu returned to the cave, and immediately called Qi Feng over, and ordered.

"Yes." Qi Feng quickly agreed.

"Also, if something special happens in the Holy Land recently, you have to collect a lot for me, and let me know when the time comes." Shi Mu recalled what happened to Zhao Jian, and said.

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Qi Feng nodded and said.

Shi Mu waved his hand, Qi Feng saluted and retreated.

Shi Mu sat for a while, then stood up again, and flew to the distance.

Not long after, all the restrictions were lifted in the cave near the Huolingquan, and the entire cave was enveloped by powerful rays of forbidden light.

In the secret room of the cave mansion, Shi Mu sat cross-legged, with a calm expression, silently adjusted the true energy and mana in his body, and placed a fiery red gourd by his side.

Half a day later, his state of mind had completely calmed down. Immediately with one hand raised, a Yangzhi Pill flew out of the gourd and fell into his mouth.

There was a burst of red light on his body immediately, and a hot feeling rose from his lower abdomen, which actually burned his body with dull pain.

Shocked and delighted, Shi Mu hurriedly circulated the Red Ape Fire Sutra to refine the power of the medicine, and the surrounding flames gathered towards his body.

After two or three full days, Shi Mu opened his eyes, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

This Yangzhi Pill is indeed a elixir of the peak of the earth rank, and its medicinal power is powerful.

According to this progress, without the expected time, his cultivation base can reach the peak of the mid-level earth.

As for breaking through the bottleneck in the later stage, he already has several ideas, and with the Bone Cleansing Soul Pill in hand, he is at least 50% sure.

Shi Mu pondered for a while, waved his hand, a light flashed in his hand, and there was an extra piece of jade slip, which was the jade slip of the Eighteen Sticks of Tongtian.

He secretly made up his mind to learn more about this stick technique while practicing.

In the grand competition, the power of the eighteen sticks to the sky gave him a big surprise. If he can learn all of them, his strength will definitely improve again.

...

Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, several servants were busy in the spiritual field near the cave where the Huolingquan was located.

"The palace master is really hardworking, most of the time he spends his time practicing in seclusion." A young attendant in Tsing Yi glanced at the cave mansion that was shrouded in layers of restrictions, and sighed.

"Hehe, of course, if the Palace Master is like you and lazy in cultivation, how can he reach the level he is today." Another slightly older attendant scolded with a smile.

The young attendant scratched his head in embarrassment, and the next moment, his expression suddenly froze.

All the restrictions around the cave in the distance suddenly disappeared, the gate of the cave opened suddenly, and a red figure flew out from inside, flying towards the distance, and disappeared in the distance in a flash.

An incomparably tyrannical coercion emanated from the red escape light, sweeping past several people.

"That's... Palace Master?" The young attendant opened his mouth wide and said in astonishment.

The elder attendant nodded, with admiration in his eyes: "Looking at the Palace Master, his cultivation seems to have made great progress."

When the other people heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.

The stronger Shi Mu is, the more benefits these attendants can get.

In a valley more than a hundred miles away from the cave, a red meteor flew towards him like a meteor, and it landed in a flash, revealing Shi Mu's figure.

At this moment, he is covered in red light all over his body, and the aura he exudes is much stronger than before. He has reached the peak of the middle stage of the earth rank, and is only one step away from the late stage of the earth rank.

Shi Mu frowned slightly, flipped his hand, a black light flashed in his hand, and there was a long black stick, which was Ruyi iron stick.

After three years of retreat, although he has made great progress in the Red Ape Fire Sutra, but for some reason, he never succeeded in the last level and was stuck forcibly. (To be continued.)
