Start from the Martial Arts

"I feel like I could buy some mid-grade spiritual rice or Qi-nourishing pills to assist my practice."

Fang Xiu piled the spiritual stones in the bag on the bed. Looking at the dozens of spiritual stones piled up like a hill, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

The difference between the first three months and the last three months is simply heaven and earth.

In the first three months, he couldn't even afford low-grade spiritual rice.

Now he even dares to think about buying medium-grade spiritual rice.

I am also preparing to take pills to practice.

[Exercise: Qi Refining of the Eight Phases of the Universe·Second Level (20%)]

“It has been more than three months since I broke through the second level of Qi Refining, and my cultivation progress has only reached 20%...,

Fang Xiu looked at the progress of his technique and couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of practice.

The Qi Refining Chapter of the Eight Phases of the Universe is equivalent to the most basic qi refining method, with very low difficulty.

His wood spirit roots have reached the middle level, and while his cultivation speed has doubled, he has only reached 20% progress after dunking on spiritual rice and taking six Qi-nourishing pills.

"It's not okay to be so slow. It seems we still have to buy pills."

Fang Xiu thought to himself.

Since breaking through the Grand Master in both internal and external skills, the effectiveness of the Blood Essence Pill has been greatly reduced, and the improvement of his martial arts cultivation has been greatly slowed down.

He could not allow the progress of cultivating immortals to slow down at the same time.

Although the effect of the elixir will be weakened if you take too much, it will also accumulate erysipelas, making it more difficult to break through.

But he is only in the early stage of Qi refining, and the erysipelas accumulates, making it difficult to break through. Those are things that need to be considered only in the middle to late Qi refining stages.

Any flimsy foundation or bottlenecks are all bullshit.

High cultivation is the last word.

Taking a step back, he still retains the fate of [Rejuvenation]. When he is sixty, he will retain his cultivation and his body will return to the bone age and condition of a twenty-year-old. Any erysipelas or damaged potential will disappear.

"Go to the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow to buy enough elixirs and necessary things at once."

Fang Xiu packed the seventy-two spiritual stones on the bed and put them into a storage bag.

“Eat, eat.”’

Fang Xiu took out the green throwing knife, purple hammer, and black water acupuncture tool that he would sell tomorrow.

He put the three low-grade ritual objects in the same cloth bag, and then went to the backyard to wash and cook rice.

Not long after, a large pot full of spiritual rice was cooked, and then the rice was served in a soup basin, accompanied by roasted first-class low-grade pig demon legs.

Fang Xiu sat down at the table to eat. He didn't take two bites when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He picked up the soup basin and squatted at the door, breathing in the fragrance of flowers, grass and soil, and looking at the passers-by: "Fellow Daoist Fang, you are eating."

"Master Fang Fu, the talisman seals are selling out very quickly today."

"Fellow Daoist Fang has such a good appetite!"

The monks coming and going in the shanty town would greet him, and Fang Xiu would either respond, or smile and nod.

Eating at the door, you can chat, and sometimes you can hear some useful information.

This is the time when the atmosphere in the shanty town is at its best.

Of course, Fang Xiu's cultivation level was low before, and except for Wang Fugui, who lived next door, he was just an acquaintance with everyone else.

Now that Fang Xiu's talisman-making skills have improved, he is somewhat famous in the shanty town, and more people come to say hello.

Some people would also go to his and Wang Fugui's stalls to buy talismans and ask for a few Bigu Pills based on their familiarity.

Or ask Fang Xiu to give you a discount of a few taels of spiritual sand.

They are all neighbors, and many of them are repeat customers. As long as the demands are not too excessive, Fang Xiu is willing to give some discounts.

What's more, Fang Xiu now has a good relationship with Wang Fugui, and because he often buys blank talisman papers from Master Chen, he has become somewhat familiar with them.

Master Chen Fu looks very cold and fierce on the surface, and looks like he is not to be trifled with.

According to Wang Fugui, Master Chen's biggest hobby is making talismans, followed by spending money at the Yuanyang Pavilion opened by the Hehuan Sect in the inner city.

Master Chen Fu suffered emotional trauma in his early years. He only believed in money transactions and did not believe in the relationship between men and women.

The dark circles under his eyes that persist all year round are not due to staying up late to make talismans, but because the female goblins in Yuanyang Pavilion collected their essence.

When closing the stall, Fang Xiu followed Wang Fugui and could chat with Master Chen Fu.

In particular, Fang Xiu had experience in this area with his colleagues in the prison, and the two parties were able to communicate on endurance, explosive power, and posture.

After going back and forth, Master Chen Fu invited Fang Xiu to Yuanyang Pavilion several times.

However, they were all rejected by Fang Xiu.

Since he got married, he has not been to the land of fireworks.

Back then, the main reason I went to that kind of place was to be a gregarious person.

"Xiao Fang, what do you want to eat?"

Fang Xiu finished the first bowl and went back to fill up the second bowl. Halfway through the meal, Wang Fugui returned from closing the stall. When he passed by the entrance of the courtyard, he greeted him and glanced at his bowl.

"Spirit rice with pig demon hind leg meat." Fang Xiu held up the bowl and showed it to him.

"It smells so good!" Wang Fugui took a breath, "As expected of a martial arts practitioner, you have such a good appetite!"

"How about it? Come and have something at home?" Fang Xiu pointed to the kitchen.

"Isn't it good?" Wang Fugui said with a smile, his face full of wrinkles.

"This isn't your first time!" Fang Xiu said angrily.

"Hehe, you have to be polite." Wang Fugui smiled a little obscenely.

"Okay, you go back and put things away first, and I'll serve you some food.'"

Fang Xiu waved his hand.

"Okay!" Wang Fugui ran to the next yard with the big package on his shoulders.

Fang Xiu returned to the kitchen and served Wang Fugui a large bowl of spiritual rice with some pork demon hind leg meat.

Wang Fugui was the first 'good person' he met in the world of immortality.

According to Wang Fugui himself, because he had a grandson, who was twelve years old when he left home, and whose eyebrows and eyes looked very similar to Fang Xiu, he had a good impression of Fang Xiu at first sight.

He chose to come to Anping Market to make a living, and he was also preparing to save spirit stones for his grandson to use in the future.

Although Wang Fugui made a lot of spirit stones from refining pills, he was very stingy with himself. Many times, he was reluctant to eat even spirit rice, let alone monster meat.

At first, Fang Xiu laughed and scolded Wang Fugui for taking advantage of him, but later he thought that Wang Fugui's fire spirit root sensitivity was 16, which was considered good among the lower-grade spirit roots.

He was at the fifth level of Qi Refining when he came to Anping Market ten years ago, and he is still at the fifth level of Qi Refining now.

This means that he has all the time and energy to refine the boat.

There is no bottleneck from the fifth level to the sixth level of Qi Refining. The lower-grade spirit root is hard to grind, and it took ten years to grind to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Usually when Fang Xiu bought pills from Wang Fugui, he would basically give discounts or give more pills.

Although Fang Xiu didn't say anything, he remembered it in his heart.

When he had nothing to do, he asked Wang Fugui to come and improve his life.

"Here I am!" Wang Fugui had just washed his hands, and they were still dripping with water, and he trotted over.

"So much! How can I, an old man, eat it all!"

Seeing Fang Xiu filled a large bowl with rice and meat, he smiled brightly, but he was pouting.

"Give me the meat!" Fang Xiu stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat in Wang Fugui's bowl.

Wang Fugui pulled the bowl back and smiled:

"Be polite, don't take it seriously."

The two sat at the door of Fang Xiu's house and ate rice.

"Um... Ku... Kang!" Suddenly, Fang Fugui pointed to the direction diagonally opposite with chopsticks, holding rice in his mouth.

Fang Xiu looked straight ahead.

In the yard diagonally opposite, there was a blue-clothed female cultivator with a waist as fat as a carriage wheel, and a green-clothed female cultivator with a slender figure and a beautiful face. The two were tearing a handsome boy, one on the left and one on the right.

"There's something interesting to watch!" Wang Fugui swallowed the spiritual rice in his mouth, stood up with a gossipy face, and looked at the yard across the street.

The two female cultivators pulled his clothes and his hair.

The handsome boy was in a mess, his shirt was directly torn, revealing his strong chest muscles and eight angular abdominal muscles.

The handsome boy seemed to be in the wrong, and let the two female cultivators tear him, and he never fought back.

Fang Xiu couldn't help it and stood up.

He remembered that the handsome young man was the one who rented a house with him in the same batch, and his name seemed to be Ying Bufan.

This person was only at the third level of Qi Refining, and he often wandered around. He didn't see what he did for a living, but he was dressed in luxurious clothes and often changed his robes.

"You cheap man! You actually used the spirit stones I gave you to raise your kid!"

"Don't you look at what you're wearing, what you're eating, which one isn't mine?!"

"Ying Lang, say something! Tell this woman...

The fat female cultivator in blue yelled and cursed loudly, while the pretty female cultivator in green was crying.

Ying Bufan said nothing and tried his best to protect his face.

"I knew at first glance that Ying Bufan was not serious."

"Is he caught cheating on two women? '"

"It's more than two women, this is..."

"I tell you, I often see different female cultivators go to his house at night. '"

It was just dinner time, and many people were squatting at the door of their homes.

Knowing that there was something exciting to watch, many people ran out of the house, holding bowls and came to the gate of Ying Bufan's yard to watch the excitement, pointing and talking.

"This kid has a good appearance, no wonder he can find female cultivators to support him! That female cultivator in blue is probably in the late stage of Qi Refining. "

Wang Fugui commented.

He turned to look at Fang Xiu and looked him up and down.

"What are you doing?" Fang Xiu felt a chill in his heart when he saw his eyes.

"Xiao Fang, I think you look a little worse than that boy, but you are very masculine. Actually...·

"I have a good stomach and I am not used to eating soft rice.'"

Fang Xiu shook his head repeatedly.

"Hahaha! Just kidding, I...Puff!" Wang Fugui laughed, and the rice mixed with chili came out of his nostrils, and then he started coughing violently.

Fang Xiu patted him on the back.

After coughing for a while, Wang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so spicy! I almost became the first cultivator to be choked to death by spiritual rice!"

After this episode, Ying Bufan moved out of the shantytown that night.

The next day.

Fang Xiu got up early, wearing a white robe inside and a black suit outside, carrying a big bag and went to the market alone. After entering the market, he passed through the outer city and went straight to the treasure pavilion in the inner city.

Treasure Pavilion is a shop opened by Taiqing Sword Sect, which sells various types of businesses such as elixirs, talismans, magic tools, robes, etc. It is equivalent to a large shopping mall.

The products of Treasure Pavilion are not cheap among the same level, but the quality is excellent, and there are never counterfeit products. Fang Xiu is going to sell magic tools and buy elixirs at Treasure Pavilion.

In addition to Treasure Pavilion, there is also Baodanju opened by Danxia Sect, which specializes in selling elixirs. The quality of the same level of elixirs is the highest in Anping Market.

You can't buy elixirs such as Yangqi Pills that increase cultivation at a low price from stalls, as it is easy to step on the trap.

Fang Xiu walked into an alley, took off the black robe outside, and then controlled the movement of facial muscles and bones to change his appearance.

Although cultivators mainly rely on the fluctuation of mana and breath to distinguish their identities, it is still necessary to disguise themselves. After all, this is his first time in the inner city and no one is familiar with him.

"Yangqi Pills cost ten spirit stones per bottle, and ten pills per bottle. Buy ten bottles at a time and get three pills for free."

After Fang Xiu entered the Treasure Pavilion, he asked the person in charge about the price of the Qi Nourishing Pill.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xiu asked Zhenbao Pavilion if it would accept the high-quality magical artifacts and put the cloth bag on the counter.

The steward's originally casual eyes became a little more serious. He looked him up and down and nodded at him.

Opened the cloth bag.

"A low-grade flying knife weapon of low quality. Twenty-five spiritual stones will be collected.'

"A low-grade hammer instrument, of average quality, worth thirty spiritual stones.'

"A low-grade needle-shaped magic weapon. The quality is acceptable. Thirty-five spiritual stones will be collected."

The steward quickly inspected the goods and quoted the price.

Fang Xiu's expression froze, "Can you give me more?" ""

"There won't be any store with a higher price than my Zhenbao Pavilion." The manager smiled and shook his head, and asked, "Are you selling it?"

"Sell!" Fang Xiu gritted his teeth.

"Do you still want the elixir?" the steward asked,

"This...don't want it for now." Fang Xiu paused.

"Okay." The steward didn't waste any time and took out a cloth bag filled with ninety spirit stones and handed it to Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu left the Zhenbao Pavilion with the cloth bag in his arms and headed to Baodan Residence.

"A bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill contains ten spirit stones, ten pills in a bottle." The attitude of the shopkeeper of Bao Dan Ju was cold.

"Won't you get a few pills for free if you buy ten bottles at a time? The Zhenbao Pavilion also gives away three pills." Fang Xiu asked.

"It's always been this price. There will be no discounts in our store. Do you want it?" The shopkeeper of Baodanju raised his nostrils.

"Forget it, I don't want it anymore." Fang Xiu shook his head.

When he walked out of Baodan Residence, he heard the shopkeeper whispering, "Tch, give me back ten bottles?!"

Fang Xiu shook his head and laughed. It was really a monopoly industry, no worries about sales, but his attitude was really bad.

When he returned to the Treasure Pavilion, the steward asked with a smile: "How many bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills do you want?"

"Ten bottles! Do you want to send elixirs?" Fang Xiu gritted his teeth.

"Send it off." The manager nodded.

Fang Xiu took out one hundred spiritual stones and harvested one hundred and three Qi-nourishing pills.

"Do you want anything else, sir?"

"How many spiritual stones are there for a low-grade defensive magic weapon? It needs to be activated quickly!"

"This green turtle shield magic weapon has fast activation speed and excellent defense. With sufficient magic power, it can block dozens of attacks from low-grade magic weapons. It can only be damaged by more than five attacks from medium-grade magic weapons. "However, due to the high consumption of spiritual consciousness, although it is a high-quality defensive weapon, it only sells fifty-six spiritual stones." The steward took out a palm-sized green turtle shell magic weapon from behind the counter.

"Can it be cheaper?" Fang Xiu asked.

"No." The manager shook his head with a smile.

"I want it!" Fang Xiu gritted his teeth and took out fifty-six spiritual stones.

Only the last six spiritual stones were left on his body.

"How much does that robe cost?" After paying the money, Fang Xiu pointed to a white robe embroidered with gold thread hanging on the wall. It looked very cool and full of aura.

"The first-level mid-level snow silk robe comes with a first-level mid-level magic golden light shield, which can be activated twice a day and costs 580 spirit stones. If you want it, I can give you a 50% discount."

"Can't afford it.'"

"It doesn't matter. If you have money, I'll keep it for you." The steward said with a smile.

Farewell. ""

Fang Xiu shook his head, put away his things and quickly left the Treasure Pavilion.

He turned into the alley, put his things into storage bags, and quickly left the inner city and returned to the shanty town.

After confirming that no one was following him, Fang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

More than three months passed quietly.

One hundred and three Qi-nourishing pills, one per day.

When he ate the ninety-second pill, his cultivation level broke through to the third level of Qi Refining.

“Take drugs and cultivate immortality, it’s so fast!”

Fang Xiu sighed inwardly, saving nearly a year of hard training.

"The mana has increased by another 30%, and now I can barely learn the first-level mid-level spells. The most important ones are the water curtain technique and the golden light shield.'"

Fang Xiu smiled.

In the past three months, he has ordered more than 80 spiritual stones, and he can continue to buy Qi-nourishing pills for practice.

By the time you reach the middle stage of Qi refining, there will be more ways to make money.

After breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining, Fang Xiu clearly felt that the effect of the Qi Nourishing Pill had weakened, but it was not to the exaggerated level of developing drug resistance.

After eating eleven Qi-nourishing pills, Fang Xiu went to buy ten more bottles of Qi-nourishing pills.

This time, he took two pills a day.

It was finished in less than two months.

[Exercise: Qi Refining of the Eight Phases of the Universe·Third Level (18%)]

"According to this progress, we will reach the peak of the third level of Qi Refining in seven or eight months. We need to prepare money in advance to purchase the Realm Breaking Pill."
