Lonely Immortal

After a period of recovery, the spiritual energy was finally complete.

However, Zhang Zhiwen was a little frustrated. Now he was at the first stage of Qi Refining. After more than half a month of continuous cultivation, there was still no progress in this spiritual energy. Zhang Zhiwen felt that if he continued like this, he might not be able to enter the second stage of Qi Refining within a hundred years.

If he could not break through, would he have to be led by the nose by the Chamber of Commerce for the rest of his life? That was really not the result he hoped for. Moreover, if he did not enter the foundation building stage, his life span would not be long. Once his life span was over, his soul would be destroyed, and he would never be able to reincarnate.

Although his current cultivation was enough to rival top masters like Li Mohuan, if he went to the martial arts hall, he might be able to become a gray-clothed disciple, or even a deputy hall master, but this was simply unrealistic. He was only twelve years old and had only been in the club for more than a month. How could he become a top master all of a sudden? Wouldn't this make the Chamber of Commerce suspicious?

If he didn't want the Chamber of Commerce to suspect him, he could only proceed step by step, moving up little by little. But if he moved up little by little, where would he get so much money to buy jade with spiritual energy?

He had thought about trading some medicinal materials privately before, but now he had no such idea at all. Li Mohuan alone was already a problem, not to mention the Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, he could only try to refine medicine first and make a medium-grade pill. It shouldn't be too noticeable, but Zhang Zhiwen didn't dare to say that it would not attract suspicion. After all, he had only been a member of the Chamber for more than a month! But he didn't have any other good ideas!

But before refining the pill, he wanted to see what the green fruit was like now. He hadn't seen it for some time.

Soon, he entered the Immortal Mansion. The floating island still didn't change much. The strange bare plant was still standing there, but the green fruit on it was gone...

Zhang Zhiwen was surprised. Where was the fruit? How could it be gone? He hurriedly looked for it, and soon he found that the green fruit had fallen to the ground.

He quickly picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then he was surprised to find that the fruit was ripe!

But what's going on? The soil here has no spiritual energy, why can the fruit still mature?

Suddenly, he thought of something, that is, during this period of time, he has not made any progress in cultivation. Could it be that the spiritual energy he cultivated was absorbed by this thing? After all, this fairy house is one with him!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen decided to try whether this was the case. He withdrew from the fairy house, only scanned with spiritual consciousness, and his mind was still outside, and then began to practice.

The spiritual energy began to flow in his body. After a small cycle, a little bit of white spiritual energy was generated. This white spiritual energy was very little, and it was very likely to be ignored if you didn't pay attention. This strand of spiritual energy was going to return to the dantian along the solar meridian, but when it reached the dantian, suddenly an unknown force was generated. The spiritual energy that was originally going to flow into the dantian disappeared, and Zhang Zhiwen immediately found that there was a little more spiritual energy in the fairy house. This strand of spiritual energy poured into the soil and was absorbed by the strange plant.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen naturally knew what was going on. It turned out that the Immortal Palace had this function. It absorbed his spiritual energy and turned it into nutrients to nourish the growth of medicinal materials. But if this continued, wouldn't he never be able to practice? If the spiritual energy was absorbed by the Immortal Palace, what was the point of practicing? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

This was a big deal. He quickly circulated the spiritual energy again, and then a small Zhoutian passed. The flow of spiritual energy was the same as last time. When it was about to return to the Dantian, an extremely weak suction came. At this time, Zhang Zhiwen moved his mind to stop the suction from running, and the spiritual energy was successfully returned to the Dantian!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he could still control it, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

But the problem also came. If his spiritual energy could nourish the medicinal materials, it would be good. However, he immediately denied this idea because for more than half a month, the spiritual energy he produced by his hard practice only made the green fruit that was almost ripe mature. If he had to start from scratch, he would have to spend at least several years or even decades to make the green fruit mature. After taking the green fruit, it would only increase his cultivation so much. This is simply no difference and a waste of time!

Sure enough, there is no free benefit in this world. Zhang Zhiwen was also a little disappointed, but fortunately the green fruit was finally ripe, but Zhang Zhiwen looked at the green fruit thoughtfully.

This thing is also a medicinal material, right? If this medicinal material is refined, wouldn’t it be better? Generally speaking, the effectiveness of the pill is far higher than the medicinal material itself, otherwise there is no need to refine the medicine, but what kind of medicinal material is this thing?

Zhang Zhiwen was curious and opened the Changsheng Sutra again, which recorded a lot of the contents of these pills.

Yes, the pills recorded in the Changsheng Sutra are no longer ordinary pills. For example, whether it is ten years old or a hundred years old, they are always medicinal materials without spiritual energy. However, some medicinal materials recorded in the Changsheng Sutra are spiritual, but Zhang Zhiwen has never seen them before and has not read them carefully before.

At this time, he began to look for the records in it. After flipping through it for a long time, he did not see any records about this green fruit, but he did see a somewhat related record, which mentioned a pill called Lingqi San, which used dozens of ordinary ten-year-old medicinal materials, plus three hundred-year-old medicinal materials and a spiritual medicine called Guxian Fruit.

The name of the Solitary Fairy Fruit... sounds very abstract, and the book does not explain in detail what this thing looks like, but Zhang Zhiwen feels that the green fruit in his hand fits the description quite well. First of all, this green fruit can indeed enhance the spiritual power. Strength cultivation is in line with the efficacy and characteristics of Reiki Powder that can enhance Reiki. Secondly, this green fruit is indeed a solitary one, and the plant itself is also solitary, without even a leaf, which somewhat fits its name.

But Zhang Zhiwen couldn't be sure that this was the Solitary Immortal Fruit. He planned to check it out or ask what the elixir of the Solitary Immortal Fruit looked like.

But who to ask?

Zhang Zhiwen only thought of one person, and that was the old man who cleaned the warehouse. The old man seemed to know a lot, and the old man was also very forgetful. He asked him some things without worrying about leaking them.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen hid the place again, then took dozens of medicinal materials recorded in the book to keep with him, and got up to return to the county town.

This time, the day passed by in a flash. Although his work was in vain, Zhang Zhiwen didn't care. Now he finally had some clues. He felt that refining middle-grade pills in exchange for rewards was risky and not very worthwhile in itself, but If an elixir is refined, even the lowest-grade low-grade elixir will be much better than mid-grade pills, and it can also greatly improve one's cultivation level.

Soon, he returned to the county seat and went straight to the Chamber of Commerce Hall.

When we arrived at the warehouse, it was as empty as ever, and no one cared that he was here. There was no one guarding him, but the old man wasn't there either.

But Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry, he would just stay here, read some books, and wait for the old man to come over.

Sure enough, about an hour later, the old man came. He still brought the broom. When he came in and saw Zhang Zhiwen, he started mumbling again: "Why is there another doll? Alas, there is nothing here, don't waste time."

Zhang Zhiwen was not surprised to see him like this. Instead, he stepped forward and asked for advice: "Uncle, do you know about a magical elixir called Lone Immortal Fruit?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You have asked the right person. If you want to talk about nothing else, I know what this solitary fairy fruit is. It is a good thing, and it is indeed a panacea..."

Sure enough, the old man started talking nonstop, and Zhang Zhiwen listened carefully. He soon understood that the solitary fairy fruit was the green fruit in his hand, and this weird plant also has a name, solitary fairy grass!

This elixir can only grow one plant within a hundred acres, and it will only bear one fruit in its lifetime. The fruit falls to the ground and withers, so it is called Solitary Fairy Grass, and its fruit is called Solitary Fairy Fruit.

This surprised Zhang Zhiwen, because the solitary fairy grass he had here has already produced two fruits. As for the statement that only one plant grows within a hundred acres, he is not sure whether this is the case.

In addition, the Lone Immortal Grass itself can also be used as medicine, and it is also a preparation called Yiling Pill. However, the Yiling Pill is more powerful and seems to be a middle-grade elixir. However, the old man does not seem to have much knowledge. He did not say What is low-grade and medium-grade? It is just that Yi Ling Dan is very famous and has been recorded in many immortal books.

It seems that this old man wants to cultivate immortality so much that he is almost suffering from hysteria, and his memory is naturally greatly reduced. However, he remembers things about cultivating immortality very clearly.

As for the other messy things the old man said, Zhang Zhiwen didn't pay much attention to them. For example, elixirs were rare and there might not be any in the world, but only in heaven. This was not much different from the opinions of ordinary people in the city. .

But Zhang Zhiwen now knows very well that this green fruit is indeed the Solitary Fairy Fruit, and the plant is also very useful, called Solitary Fairy Grass.

He has found a treasure, and the elixir has entered the house. There will be many opportunities to get the Lone Immortal Fruit to refine the elixir.

In this way, he said goodbye to the old man directly. Anyway, after all the talk, the old man kept talking about those folk rumors, which was meaningless.

Looking at Zhang Zhiwen's leaving figure, the old man calmed down and then stroked his beard: "Hey, this kid actually wants to refine spiritual energy powder? Not bad, not bad..."

As he spoke, his expression became more gloomy, as if he had changed into a different person, and then he became a little crazy, and said with a ferocious face: "How can you, an old thief, kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

"Hmph, I can do whatever I want. Is it possible that you can stop me?"

"You old thief, God will never forgive you!"

"Hey, I'm going against the will of heaven. Just wait. When I come out of my shell, you old man can go to hell..."

…

The old man went crazy for a while, and finally regained his sluggishness. Then he staggered out step by step with his broom, mumbling: "Oh, this baby is useless, what are you doing here...Old man, listen. It’s out of sight, it’s of no use anymore…”
