Chapter 16 16 Rise to Prominence

Chapter 16 16. Rising to the top

Once again, he came to Xiaole Peak.

Song He went straight to the Medicine Pavilion that sold elixirs in the sect, sorted out his clothes that were a little messy because of the rush, and then walked in with a calm expression.

This time, he was a consumer, a buyer.

With more than 2,000 spirit stones in his pocket, he was confident. Even buying two foundation-building pills should be enough.

This was the treatment he should get if he won the bet.

Entering the pavilion, he habitually glanced around.

The sect seemed to particularly like jade. The entire Medicine Pavilion, whether it was the floor, ceiling or wall, was all made of emerald jade.

In front of each counter, the monks lowered their heads to check the elixirs they liked. There was a faint fragrance in the air.

The huge pavilion was very quiet, and no one spoke loudly.

Compared with the flower guessing shop that was like a gambling house, it was really as elegant as it could be.

"Brother, what kind of elixirs are you planning to buy at the elixir pavilion?"

A young monk in a blue Taoist robe came up to him.

Song He glanced at him with his spiritual sense.

His cultivation level was fully revealed under Song He's spiritual sense after being strengthened by the Yimu Gourd - the first stage of Qi Refining.

And Song He also felt that the spiritual energy in his Dantian seemed to have been locked up. Although he looked handsome, he did not have the agility of other monks at all.

It was like... he was forcibly promoted to the Qi Refining stage, a little stiff and uncoordinated.

'Strange, is this specially used to welcome guests? '

Song He was curious in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He said calmly: "I'm here to buy some elixirs suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, and they can increase the success rate of breaking through the bottleneck of foundation building."

"Brother, please follow me."

It seemed that he had met cultivators with cultivation levels like Song He many times before. The blue-robed monk took Song He to a counter.

He introduced:

"Brother, here are the elixirs suitable for the late stage of Qi Refining and breaking through the bottleneck of foundation building. Please take your time to look at them. I will take my leave."

After saying that, he turned and left.

It seemed that his duty was to lead the way, and the rest would be handed over to a monk who was also wearing a blue robe sitting behind the counter.

Song He looked at his back and turned his gaze to the blue-robed monk behind the counter - this was a foundation building monk, so he did not use his spiritual sense to explore.

The blue-robed monk smiled at Song He, pointed to the chair in front of the counter, and said enthusiastically:

"Brother, please sit down. That person is just a plant person, and he cannot introduce the specific effects of the elixir to you."

"Plant person?" Song He, who heard the new term, was curious and said, "This is the first time I have heard of this kind of existence. Can I ask you to solve my doubts?"

"They were originally mortals who could not practice, but they chose to coexist with a special spiritual plant, so they had the cultivation of the first stage of Qi Refining."

Uh... Can people who have no spiritual roots and cannot practice become Qi Refining monks?

Song He felt that his worldview was being refreshed again and again.

You should know that there is a big gap between mortals and Qi-refining monks. The latter can easily slaughter thousands of mortals with the help of talismans, magic tools and other items.

"Everything has a price. Junior brother, don't be surprised. They accepted the symbiosis with spiritual plants, so they can only stay in Xiaole Peak forever."

The blue-robed monk smiled mysteriously, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he took out three jade boxes and placed them on the counter.

Open the first jade box.

The inside was covered with red silk, and on it was a green pill as big as a longan, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"Junior brother, please look, this is a precious green pill suitable for Qi-refining level 7 to 10. After taking one pill, it can be equivalent to three days of hard practice.

The price is 20 spirit stones per pill. After taking more than 20 pills, the effect will be weakened."

Three days, it sounds very little.

In fact, it is indeed very little.

According to Song He's estimation, if he wants to break through the last level and cultivate to perfection, it will take at least two months of hard practice to knock on the bottleneck of foundation building.

Although twenty pills are equivalent to two months of hard training, we also need to consider refining the pills and removing the pill poison to ensure the purity of the Tao foundation.

To be honest... it's a bit too slow.

Song He wants to build a foundation within a month, and the sooner the better.

"Is there a pill with better effect?" he asked directly.

"Of course there is, please look at this, junior brother."

The blue-robed monk opened the second box without any surprise.

It was still cushioned with red silk, and on it was a red pill the size of a lotus seed, which faintly revealed a spicy taste.

"This pill is made by mixing the Flame Cloud Fruit with several spiritual materials. One pill can be equivalent to half a month of hard training for a chain Qi monk, but the internal heat is too abundant, and it is not suitable for water and wood spiritual root monks to swallow."

Song He: "..."

Is it such a coincidence? He happens to be a wood, water and earth spiritual root. After swallowing this pill with too much heat, it may affect him.

Seeing Song He's silence, the blue-robed monk knew that the junior brother in front of him was probably the water and wood spiritual root, so he smiled helplessly.

He opened the last box.

"Junior brother, please look, this is the Qingyun Spirit Pill made by the alchemy elder of our Pill Pavilion and the elder of the Spirit Plant Pavilion. After taking it, there is a chance that it will directly increase your cultivation level by one or two levels."

"There is such a magical thing?" Song He was surprised.

Directly increase your cultivation level by one level, this is probably a hot commodity no matter where it is placed, this kind of thing is definitely...

Song He thought, his eyes moved down, and he was about to take a look at the pill, but he saw a familiar panel appearing——

[Name]: Qingyun Grass

[Level]:?

[Status]: Mature, spiritual energy infusion (300%)

①. Pingbu Qingyun·Qi Refining Level 2 (Qingyun Grass Exclusive): After taking it, you can directly improve your cultivation by two levels, and you can only take it once at each stage.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing. The golden pill in his sight did not have the slightest characteristics of a spiritual plant, and looked like a golden ball.

But the panel could not be fake.

However... with the panel description, Song He really believed that it could indeed directly improve the second-level cultivation and promote himself to the state of Qi Refining Great Perfection.

"Junior brother seems to be a spiritual plant husband. There is an extremely special spiritual plant in this pill, which was cultivated by the elders of the sect.

Under the whole world, even if you travel all over the cultivation world, only our Lingye Sect has it."

The tone was proud, but not arrogant, but proud of the sect.

"Brother, do you know what this magical spiritual plant is?"

As a spiritual plant husband, if Song He didn't care at this moment, it would be puzzling. Every spiritual plant husband has curiosity about unknown spiritual plants.

"This... I really don't know." He shook his head and looked behind Song He - it seemed that there was a cultivator waiting.

Seeing this, Song He stopped asking and simply asked the price and bought it.

Afterwards, he wanted to ask about the foundation-building pill, but the blue-robed cultivator shook his head again and pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor.

"The foundation-building pill is sold upstairs, and the price of one is about one thousand spiritual stones."

"Thank you, brother."

After thanking him, Song He turned and went upstairs, and soon successfully bought a foundation-building pill - Lingye Sect, which is famous in the cultivation world for its spiritual herbs and plants, certainly has no shortage of spiritual herbs for refining foundation-building pills.

That's why Song He bought it so easily.

After buying two pills, he was ready to leave with satisfaction, but he accidentally saw the place where he bought the elixir just now. The blue-robed monk was selling Qingyun elixir to another monk.

He took a look at the elixir out of curiosity.

He found that the entry of [Rise to the Top] changed from Qi Refining Stage 2 to Qi Refining Stage 1, and the effect changed from raising the cultivation level by two stages to raising the cultivation level by one stage.

Song He felt better after learning this.

It seemed that he was indeed lucky, otherwise how could he have bought the Qingyun elixir that raised the cultivation level by two stages?
