Chapter 2019: More than 60 Years
After half a month of understanding, Qingyang basically understood the situation in Cangmu City and what he needed to do in the future, so he casually gave some nourishing spirit pills to Gu Mufeng as a reward for his hard work in the past few days, and then returned to his yard.
After that, Qingyang regarded the human race in Cangmu City as a temporary residence, and spent most of his time in his yard practicing. Now he has no shortage of Concentrating Spirit Pills, and improving his cultivation is his top priority. Occasionally, he will walk around in Cangmu City and buy some suitable things when he sees them. If he is in a good mood one day, he will also guide Chi Meigong and Jiang Shangxue, two human race quasi-elixir emperors, in their alchemy skills.
Qingyang's alchemy skills are much higher than theirs. The two had to rely on themselves to explore before, and had never met the guidance of a famous teacher. Therefore, even if it was just Qingyang's casual guidance, they benefited a lot. The speed of improvement in alchemy skills is visible to the naked eye. It is hard to say for the Danzong, because it depends not only on talent but also on opportunity. However, there is no problem for the two to become real Danhuang. Becoming Danhuang one day can add a lot of foundation to the human race, and Qingyang can leave with peace of mind.
Qingyang also has another task, which is to help refine the Ju Shen Pill. A year later, the four clan leaders of Cangmu City came to Qingyang together again. During this period, they visited several surrounding immortal cities and met seven or eight incarnation cultivators. The four of them showed their best, either exchanging Ju Shen Pills, or buying with spirit stones, or using reputation as a guarantee, and got more than 1,600 Ju Shen Pill materials in total.
More than 1,600 materials may be a burden for other alchemists, but for Qingyang, it is only a matter of five or six months, so Qingyang accepted them all without any hesitation. Of course, in order to avoid being too high-profile, Qingyang also specifically explained when receiving these materials that he could not spend all his time on refining pills, so he needed to spend five years to slowly refine these materials, and then make the next transaction when he took the pills after five years.
The four clan leaders certainly had no objection. Qingyang was their God of Wealth and their greatest hope for improving their cultivation. They were sure that whatever Qingyang said was what it was. The three clan leaders set the transaction date every five years in person, and agreed that the number of materials traded by each person each time could not exceed 500. As for Gu Lieyang, he was close to the water and got the moon first, so he could trade at any time. They knew that the restriction was useless.
After that, Qingyang began his days of seclusion again. Every day he spent meditating, refining pills, and improving his cultivation. His life was extremely boring, but Qingyang had gotten used to it.
As for the refining of the Jushen Pill, it was no longer the focus of his retreat this time. After practicing, when he felt restless and restless, or when he reached a bottleneck and had difficulty in improving his practice, he would take some time to refine pills, just to change his mood and as a diversion after practicing. In this way, it was not only of great help to Qingyang's practice, but also very efficient in refining pills.
Five years passed quickly, and more than 40 Jushen Pills had been taken and refined. Qingyang's cultivation level was steadily improving, and the foundation of the second level of the transformation of the spirit had been very solid. The materials of the more than 1,600 Jushen Pills were all refined in these five years, and a total of 473 Jushen Pills were obtained. The materials were less than the last time, but the pills were more than 100 more than the last time. In other words, Qingyang's alchemy skills have been greatly improved. His success rate in refining a single pill has long exceeded 30%, and even if it is batch refining, it is close to 30%, becoming a veritable alchemy master.
After the retreat, Qingyang met with the four clan leaders of Cangmu City, delivered 110 Ju Shen Pills, and received 1,500 Ju Shen Pill materials. If the 12 pills he gave to Gu Lieyang were counted, Qingyang still had 351 Ju Shen Pills left. This business was becoming more and more profitable.
After that, Qingyang's life was the same as before. He practiced in seclusion and refined pills in his spare time. He came out to trade with the four clan leaders once every five years. The number of pills Qingyang gave them never changed, and the number of materials these people gave Qingyang was almost the same, never exceeding 2,000. The four of them obviously discussed it and knew that it was not okay to exhaust the pond and Qingyang could not be tired.
Every time he retreated for five years, Qingyang consumed only more than 40 Ju Shen Pills, but after he delivered them to the four clan leaders, he had more than 300 Ju Shen Pills left, and as his alchemy skills improved, the remaining would only be more. In other words, the longer Qingyang practiced, the more Ju Shen Pills he had.
There is no time in cultivating immortals. In the blink of an eye, Qingyang has been in Cangmu City for more than 60 years. Qingyang has forgotten how many pills he has refined. Anyway, he still has more than 2,000 Ju Shen Pills on him. Even if the price of one pill is 10,000 spirit stones, it is a huge fortune. It is enough to support Qingyang's cultivation to the realm of refining emptiness. This shows how high the profit of high-level alchemists is.
Because of the long-term plundering of the four clan leaders, it is difficult to find materials for Ju Shen Pills in the immortal city within a radius of one or two million miles. Even if a few pieces are occasionally leaked, the price is frighteningly high. If it is farther away, it will take several months for a cultivator to go back and forth. For the four clan leaders, it is not worth it. So in the last few years, they no longer asked Qingyang to help refine Ju Shen Pills.
The four clan leaders have worked hard for so many years, and the benefits are certainly not small. Each of them has at least pocketed more than 100 Ju Shen Pills, and Gu Lieyang, who has a higher level, has obtained 217 pills.
With the support of the elixir, the strength of several Divine Transformation cultivators in Cangmu City has been greatly improved. Miao Fuyun broke through to the sixth level of Divine Transformation thirty years ago, and now he has reached the sixth level of Divine Transformation; Brown-topped Duke not only successfully broke through the bottleneck of the fifth level of Divine Transformation, but now he has cultivated to the fifth level of Divine Transformation in one breath, and is only one step away from the sixth level of Divine Transformation. As he said, he can still try the late level of Divine Transformation in his lifetime. Jiang Wuya is not much different. He broke through to the fourth level of Divine Transformation forty years ago and became a mid-level Divine Transformation cultivator. Now he has also cultivated to the fourth level of Divine Transformation. As for Gu Lieyang, under Qingyang's special care, he has accumulated a lot of experience over the years and broke through two major realms in succession. He became a fifth-level Divine Transformation cultivator a year ago and is still in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.
The human race in Cangmu City has flourished in recent years. Under Qingyang's guidance, Chimei Gong and Jiang Shangxue successfully became Dan Emperors, and they in turn led to an increase in the strength of the lower-level cultivators. It is hard to say about the Foundation Establishment and Golden Elixir cultivators, but in the past sixty years, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators has increased by eight, and the strength of the original seven Nascent Soul cultivators has also improved. Now, the human race has three late Nascent Soul cultivators, four middle Nascent Soul cultivators, and eight early Nascent Soul cultivators. Their strength is no less than that of the Qingguan and Yingchi tribes.
