Chapter 133: No Chance, Bad Luck

Putting down the jade slip in his hand, Li Chuyi sighed.

A year has passed, and before he knew it, Li Chuyi was almost fifteen years old. Although he was almost two years older, Li Chuyi's appearance had not changed much, and he was still as chubby and cute as before.

In the past year, he devoted himself to hard practice, and practiced several methods under the coordination of the "Daodian". Although his cultivation level could not be said to be a thousand miles a day, it was several times faster than that of ordinary cultivators. He reached the middle stage of Jindan, and even had a faint breakthrough to the late stage of Jindan.

He did not take the elixir that increased his cultivation level, but as Baijie Taoist suggested, he was going to wait until he encountered a bottleneck before taking it. Although he has not encountered a bottleneck so far, it does not mean that he will not encounter it in the future. He still understands the principle of using a good knife on the blade.

Although he often studied, his progress in Dao Dian was extremely slow, or even no progress at all. Only the second chapter with healing effect was slightly improved, perhaps because he was seriously injured several times, which increased the aura of Dao Dian in his body.

The most direct benefit of the increase in Dao Dian aura was that he learned one more skill, and his mana increased faster.

Under Ye Zhichen's advice, his swordsmanship continued to improve. Although he was still in the realm of sword power, he was no longer as awkward as he was a year ago. Now he no longer had to step on the dragon sword step to enter the realm of power as before, but could move it as he wished and do it at will. Now his swordsmanship is more ethereal and weird. Even Wang Yuan, who occasionally came to see him, admitted that if he didn't consider the mana cultivation, he was not Li Chuyi's opponent in terms of swordsmanship alone.

This was enough to make other cultivators stunned by the improvement speed, but Li Chuyi was still not satisfied, thinking it was still too slow.

The slow progress of the Dao Canon made him a little worried, but what bothered him the most was the jade slip in his hand.

This jade slip was given to him by Baijie Taoist. It contained various methods of refining medicine and some of Baijie Taoist's own experience. If this jade slip was obtained by others, they would definitely treat it as a treasure, but Li Chuyi wanted to smash it.

It's not that he couldn't understand the contents of the jade slip. In fact, he often studied it and could recite it by heart. Theoretically, he was already a small alchemist, but in fact, he had never been able to refine a pill so far.

For some reason, he failed every time he refined the pill. Even the most basic Qi-recovering pill for Qi-refining cultivators would be turned into medicine ash in his hands.

The method was right. The furnace temperature, sequence, and technique were strictly followed in accordance with the methods in the jade slip. He even ignored the strange look of Baijie Taoist and asked clearly how many times to breathe during the alchemy process and how long the interval was.

However, he still failed and never succeeded once.

When Baijie Taoist found out, he thought there was something wrong with his skills, so he personally supervised and guided him in refining the pill.

The result was still the same, the furnace was still filled with pill ash.

Baijie Taoist was also very puzzled. In his opinion, Li Chuyi's technique was already quite skilled, and it should have been successful, but for some reason it still failed.

Unable to figure it out, he asked Li Chuyi to sit aside and let him demonstrate it himself to see if Li Chuyi would have any insights.

Under the personal operation of Baijie Taoist, a furnace of Qi-recovering pills was quickly refined. At the moment of opening the furnace, Li Chuyi was stunned by the pill ash in the furnace, and Baijie Taoist's face turned black.

Li Chuyi wanted to comfort him, but Baijie Taoist said nothing, and waved his sleeves to start the second furnace directly. Time passed little by little, and the second furnace was finished, but the result was still the same.

Finally, Baijie Taoist looked up and down with a dark face for a long time, and threw a sentence.

"You have no affinity with this path, and you have committed a big taboo. You are not allowed to approach the alchemy room in the future, so as not to bring bad luck to others."

Li Chuyi was about to refute a few words, but he turned around and left. He disappeared in a few breaths, leaving only the bad words floating from afar.

"This bastard is too weird. Not only does he conflict with the alchemy path, but he can even affect others by sitting next to him. No, I have to go back and sweep it with banana leaves, so as not to be entangled by bad luck."

Listening to the words of the Taoist Baijie, Li Chu wanted to curse, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

He also saw that he really had no affinity with the alchemy path, as if there was an invisible force in the dark that was hindering him, so that he would fail as long as he refined the elixir, and even the people close to him would be affected.

Although he could not refine the elixir, he did not give up the alchemy path, but studied various alchemy classics more diligently.

In his opinion, more skills are better than less. Learn more about this aspect, and you won't be cheated by fake medicine in the future.

Besides, who can be unlucky for a lifetime? What if the power that hinders him disappears one day in the future, can't he make pills? Therefore, it is necessary to prepare sufficient theoretical knowledge first.

The dream of making money by making pills was shattered, and Li Chuyi could only think of other ways to make money. After thinking about it, the best way is Wanshitang.

The tasks in Wanshitang are all-encompassing, from assassinating the emperor of Dayan Dynasty to helping the old lady in the town cross the road. Why not do such a good thing that can both train yourself and get paid?

So from that day on, Li Chuyi's figure often appeared in Wanshitang.

We don't go if it's too dangerous, and we don't do if the money is too little. Although there are not many left, we can always find the right one if we pick and choose.

Frequently accepting tasks in the Wanshi Hall, he gradually got to know many people. Others thought that this cute little fat boy was a new disciple of Shenjian Peak. Although they were surprised that he had reached the Danjie stage at a young age, they all thought that he had obtained some elixir that increased his cultivation by chance and forcibly improved himself. No one thought that he had cultivated himself.

This was exactly what Li Chuyi wanted.

Not showing off and being low-key were the principles that the Taoists taught him since he was a child, and they were also his motto. He wished that everyone in the world would think that he had improved himself by taking drugs.

With his tacit consent, some cultivators showed disdain for him, but more showed sympathy. They guessed that no one had told this little fat boy that if the improvement of a great realm was only improved by elixirs, it would be difficult to store it for a long time after the improvement.

Because although the amount of mana was enough, the quality did not change. Many cultivators who improved their cultivation by elixirs found it difficult to refine their own mana because their Dao Heart realm did not keep up, and even stopped their cultivation.

Li Chuyi smiled indifferently at the monks who showed disdain to him, and cursed in his heart: "Stupid x, I still have a token given by the old man Baijie to take out, you all have to kneel down to me!"

For the monks who wanted to show sympathy and kindness to him, Li Chuyi smiled sweetly and told them that he did use the elixir by mistake because of ignorance as they thought.

Gradually, Li Chuyi began to become famous in Shenjian Peak. Everyone knew that Shenjian Peak had a "little genius" who relied on elixirs to reach the Danjie realm. Moreover, this "little genius" was also a foodie. Many monks saw that he spent all the silver he earned hard on food and drink, and his spending was crazy.

Li Chuyi was even more disdainful of this.

Silver is something outside of the body, and it is meant to be spent. Now that there is no need to worry about housing, the silver will naturally be used to satisfy his only hobby of "loving to eat".

As for elixirs and magic weapons, there is no need to spend money.

He has a beast-skin long sword, and nothing has been seen that can hurt it, not even the magma body of the fire demon and the restrictions of the burial king's death place.

He also has three three-refined Qi-enhancing pills that contain the perception of the fire element. Now that he understands the knowledge of the alchemy, he naturally knows the value of this pill.

In the nine-refining of the alchemy, ordinary pills are only refined once or twice by the alchemy fire, and are called ordinary medicines. Pills that have been refined three to five times by the alchemy fire are called spiritual medicines, which cannot be bought with money and can only be exchanged for treasures or spiritual stones of equal value. When the pill is refined more than six times, it is already in the category of immortal medicine, which is said to not appear in the human world at all. And if it reaches the highest nine times of refining, the pill can no longer be called immortal medicine, but divine medicine. It is said that even in the fairy world, divine medicine is a rare treasure that is rarely seen in the ages.

The refining here does not mean that you can just burn a furnace of elixir a few more times. It is related to the medicinal materials themselves, the elixir furnace, the elixir fire, and the refiner's own cultivation and elixir realm. The legendary nine-refined divine medicine is said to be closely related to the time, location, people, and the environment, climate, and even the year, month, and time of the elixir. It can be said that a furnace of medicine involves all kinds of opportunities.

And the three-refined Qi-enhancing Pill in Li Chuyi's hand is already a rare spiritual medicine in the human world, which cannot be bought with money.

Moreover, Li Chuyi has a priceless treasure on him, which is the Daotai Divine Weapon that the Taoist priest got for him. Although he can't use this treasure yet, he knows its value clearly. This is something that even the cultivators in the Tribulation Period or even the Ascension Period will be jealous of.

The magic weapons that can be bought with silver are not as good as his, and the elixirs that can be bought with silver are not useful to him. If he doesn't use the money he earned with hard work to eat, what else can he do?

Besides, he was not stupid. He spent the money, and he hid the herbs, materials and spirit stones that were occasionally rewarded to him in some tasks.

Especially the spirit stones. Now that he was no longer a novice, he naturally knew the value of spirit stones. They were hard currency used as money by high-level cultivators. Not only could they be used for barter, but they could also directly extract the spiritual energy inside to restore themselves. However, the spiritual energy in the spirit stones was too mixed, and it took some effort to refine it after it was introduced into the body.

Good things should be kept close to the bird!

Li Chuyi, who was very principled, had redesigned a secret pocket in his crotch early, filling it with thick silk instead of cotton, and put a few spirit stones that were regarded as his capital in it.

Thinking of his capital, Li Chuyi couldn't help but reach out and touch his crotch, revealing a silly smile.

Suddenly, a brisk sound of footsteps came into his ears, and Li Chuyi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"This girl, why are you torturing me again!"
