Chapter 180: Acquired the Technique

Lin Fan is worthy of being the leader of the Yunshui Sect's casual cultivation sect, and he is extremely generous.

After seeing the body of the fish demon in Chu Chen's hands, Lin Fan directly offered four thousand mid-grade spiritual stones.

Without saying a word, Chu Chen sold the body of the fish demon to Lin Fan.

The fish demon is only a great demon in the early stage of foundation building. If it is sold in Wanbao Pavilion, the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion will definitely lower the price. At most, it can be sold for about 3,000 mid-grade spiritual stones, but not 4,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.

"Lin Fan seems to be in urgent need of this fish demon corpse. I wonder if it will be used for elixir refining or weapon refining?"

Chu Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He had no control over what Lin Fan wanted to do with the fish demon's body, as long as he had the spirit stone.

"I heard that my senior brother is also a casual cultivator. I wonder if I can join the Gale Society if I'm interested. It's hard to say what my merits are, but I will definitely have a lot of spiritual stones and elixirs."

After reaching the deal, Lin Fan invited Chu Chen.

The Gale Society is an alliance of casual cultivators formed by Lin Fan, with Master Lingyin and other casual cultivators, as well as several Master Establishers of the Foundation Establishment Family under the Yunshui Sect, all joining it.

"Thank you for your kindness, junior brother. I realize that my cultivation is shallow. I just want to practice with peace of mind in order to break through the middle stage of foundation building."

Chu Chen politely refused without even thinking about it.

"No problem."

Lin Fan didn't force it, he just gave it a try.

After all, Chu Chen and several Yunshui Sect Foundation Establishment Masters have always stayed away from the two major factions, and are obviously unwilling to get involved in factional fights.

After having a few drinks with Master Qingxu and Lin Fan, Chu Chen stood up and left on the pretext of refining elixirs.

Lin Fan kept his promise and gave three jars of laurel drunken flower brew to Chu Chen.

In front of the Foreign Affairs Palace.

Chu Chen looked back at the Foreign Affairs Hall where people were coming and going, but his heart sank.

"I turned in the task of hunting the fish demon, and Lin Fan got the news. Either Liefeng had someone specially watching the Foreign Affairs Palace, or Master Qingxu reported the news."

Chu Chen felt that the latter was more likely. After all, ordinary disciples could not view the directory of real-life demon slayers.

Only Master Qingxu could quickly convey the news to Lin Fan.

"Does Master Qingxu want to support the Sanxiu Sect?"

Chu Chen's eyes narrowed and he quickly denied the idea: "The status of Master Qingxu is transcendent between the casual cultivators and the direct disciples, so there is no need to get involved in the factional fights."

Over the past few years, due to the joining of Lin Fan and several other Daoist cultivators, as well as the exposure of several Daoist Daoists from the Yunshui Sect such as Daoist Qian Ding.

Nowadays, within the Yunshui Sect, not counting the Foundation-building families under his command, there are apparently twelve Foundation-building masters.

Apart from the two masters of the highest level of foundation building, Master Gan Shui and Master Qian Ding, the only master of late foundation building who has the strongest cultivation level is Master Qingxu.

It can be said that Master Qingxu is the first person in Yunshui Sect, second only to Master Ganshui and Master Qianding.

At least, that's the case on the surface.

If Master Qingxu really wants to make it clear and supports a certain side, the power of this side will instantly overwhelm the other side. This is a situation that Master Qian Ding does not want to see.

Master Qian Ding wants to maintain the balance between the two factions and fight each other, so that he can stimulate the potential of his disciples.

…

After leaving Yunshui Peak, Chu Chen returned directly to Canglanfang City and headed to Wanbao Pavilion.

Wood spirit soil is extremely precious. Wanbao Pavilion in Canglanfang City is temporarily out of stock. It has to be obtained from Wanbao Pavilion headquarters, which will take a few days.

Three days later.

The shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion came to visit and sold two lumps of wood spiritual soil to Chu Chen for the price of two thousand mid-grade spiritual stones.

Chu Chen immediately blended two lumps of wood spirit soil into the medicine field, one into the medicine field with Qingxuan Vine, and the other into the medicine field with Purple Jade Zhima and other elixirs.

"Judging from the current growth rate, the maturity time of Qingxuan Vine has been shortened by at least thirty years."

After observing for several days, Chu Chen came to a conclusion.

Originally, it would take more than 240 years for the Qingxuan Vine to mature. With the nourishment of the Wood Spirit Soil, it was directly shortened to about 210 years. The effect is quite good.

"It is said that the effect of wood spirit soil can be stacked several times. Unfortunately, there is no extra wood spirit soil in Wanbao Pavilion."

Chu Chen felt a little sorry.

Wood Spirit Soil is scarce in quantity and has obvious effects, so it is quite popular among foundation-building practitioners.

Generally, when wood spirit soil appears, it will be bought by Master Ji Zhu. Chu Chen was lucky to be able to buy two groups.

"The maturity time of Purple Jade Zhima has also been shortened by twenty years, and it only takes one or two years to mature."

Compared with Qingxuan Teng, Chu Chen is more concerned about the growth of Ziyu Zhima at this stage.

The effect of wood spirit soil on Purple Jade Zima is stronger than that on Qingxuan Vine.

It takes forty years for the Purple Jade Zhima to mature. In proportion, the wood spirit soil shortened the growth time of the Purple Jade Zhima by one-half.

This is because the higher the level of the elixir, the less effective the wood spirit soil will be on it.

Like elixirs, alchemists in the world of immortality also divide elixirs into grades one to nine, and each grade is divided into four levels: low-level, middle-level, high-level, and top-level.

Purple Jade Zhima is a second-grade low-level elixir, and Qingxuan Teng is a second-grade top-level elixir. The effects of Wood Spirit Soil are naturally different.

"Sure enough, krypton gold is the way to go. Before the twenty years of white work are over, you may be able to exchange it for the Xiantian Qi Sword Art."

Chu Chen showed a smile.

Although most of the spiritual stones I just acquired were gone in one go, the results are gratifying.

"Then it's just a matter of waiting."

Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction and returned to the quiet room to practice.

While practicing Qianyuan Gong, Soul-Seizing Scripture, Taiyi Spirit-nurturing Technique, etc., he was waiting for Ziyu Zhima to mature.

Two years later.

Purple Jade Zhima is mature.

Chu Chen put away the purple jade, zhima and other elixirs, and transplanted the elixirs from the third medicinal field.

The effect of the wood spirit soil can last for hundreds of years, and it can continue to cultivate spiritual medicines, and even be extracted from the medicine field.

One year later.

Chu Chen successfully refined 200 bottles of Heqi Dan, and divided 150 bottles of Heqi Dan, and went to the Foreign Affairs Hall to exchange for merits.

"Congratulations to my junior brother for refining Heqi Dan. You can be called a master of alchemy in the future."

Seeing the Heqi Dan handed over by Chu Chen, Qingxu Zhenren's eyes lit up and congratulated him.

As early as several years ago, Chu Chen had revealed to Qingxu Zhenren that he was trying to refine Heqi Dan.

However, there was no result, and Qingxu Zhenren thought Chu Chen had given up.

Chu Chen took out so many Heqi Dan this time, which means that Chu Chen can already skillfully refine Heqi Dan, crossing the boundary between first-grade and second-grade alchemists.

Identity and status are very different.

There are many foundation-building Zhenren under the command of Yunshui Sect, but there are only two second-grade alchemists who can refine second-grade and above pills.

Counting Chu Chen, there are only three.

Looking at the entire Qingzhou cultivation world, second-grade alchemists like Chu Chen are also rare and respected.

After all, one day, you may ask a second-grade alchemist to make an elixir.

"I am not worthy of the title of alchemy master, but I have just embarked on the path of alchemy."

Chu Chen smiled modestly.

According to the saying in ancient times, only alchemists who can make elixirs of third grade or above can be called alchemy masters.

In the current Qingzhou cultivation world, calling a second-grade alchemist an alchemy master would be a laughing stock in ancient times.

"Junior brother, you are too modest."

True Man Qingxu exchanged merits for Chu Chen, and his attitude was much more enthusiastic than before.

Then.

Chu Chen went to the Dharma Transmission Hall to exchange for the Xiantian Yiqi Sword Art, so that he had all the three skills he valued.
