The basic construction of the 'Lotus Villa' was basically completed, and the cultivation of various spiritual trees and vegetation was taken over by his grandfather, and Ge Tao seemed to have become idle again, after all, the low-level monks who lived in the 'Jiuzhou Town' had a demand for all kinds of elixirs not as high as they imagined.

In fact, Ge Tao is still a little embarrassed now, because the true qi in his body is still unable to trigger the 'spiritual fire', and he is not able to refine the 'Yellow Rank Spirit Pill' for the time being, so he can only rely on the guise of flickering out of the 'late stage of qi cultivation' cultivation, and barely maintain the transcendent status of the 'Qinglian Villa'.

However, as time goes by, Ge Tao can't be so calm!

The sudden order of the 'White Cloud Valley' meant that many forces, including the 'Qihuang Valley', were keeping an eye on Ge Tao's every move, and if he made any mistakes, these sects would pounce on him like wolves and tear him apart.

Ge Tao handed over the two easiest 'mortal-level pills' to the old man to refine, such as 'Quenching Body Powder' and 'Qi and Blood Pill', and he made a surprise attack for two days and refined a large number of 'mortal-level pills', so he put all his mind on cultivation.

In fact, in the nearly 20 days of cultivation overseas, Ge Tao has already refined all the six meridians in his body to build a small cycle of spiritual power, and the full true qi runs through the meridians, and the 'three layers of qi training' are almost complete.

After returning to the 'Qinglian Villa', Ge Tao was also willing to spend the money, and cultivated every day with the 'Gathering Spirit Array' constructed by the 'Best Mutton Fat White Jade', and in just over a month, he vaguely sensed the bottleneck between the 'third layer of qi refining' and the 'fourth layer of qi refining'.

During this time, the 'mutton fat white jade' alone consumed Ge Tao's expenses of more than 60 million RMB, if he hadn't been able to sell all kinds of mortal-level elixirs to the monks, he wouldn't have been able to get so much 'mutton fat white jade' even if he was rich!

However, the aura condensed by the 'mutton fat white jade' has gradually exceeded its means, and if Ge Tao advances to the 'middle stage of qi training', it is estimated that he will need the 'lower grade spirit stone' as the foundation of the formation to meet the cultivation needs of the 'Five Elements Spirit Technique'.

Compared to ordinary monks, Ge Tao needed at least five times more resources, or even 10 times, to maintain such a high cultivation speed.

All in all, the huge gap in cultivation resources made Ge Tao almost breathless, and at this time, Ge Tao finally realized why the earth's 'cultivation realm' had declined.

The 'cultivators' are basically transit locusts, cancer cells of the earth, and every time they cultivate, they are consuming the earth's resources, spiritual energy, and even the origin, and it is reasonable to encounter all kinds of heavenly punishments and heavenly tribulations.

'Cultivators' need to consume resources such as spirit stones, elixirs, spiritual springs, and spiritual veins for cultivation, but these resources are gradually formed after tens of millions of years, and they are basically non-renewable resources.

Even according to the basis of Western science, such theories as 'conservation of energy' and 'conservation of matter', after these spiritual qi escape, they cannot be used by 'cultivators' at all, and it is reasonable that the 'cultivation resources' are becoming more and more depleted.

It is no wonder that after the pre-Qin period, a large number of high-level monks left the earth through the teleportation array and went to the endless starry sky to find new opportunities, but unfortunately, these monks are gone, and the cultivation environment of the earth is deteriorating.

…………

Every early morning, Ge Tao would sit quietly in the 'alchemy room', activate the 'Spirit Gathering Array' and start cultivating, in addition to using the 'best mutton fat white jade' as the base of the formation, he even extravagantly used spirit stones to supplement his spiritual energy, and improved his cultivation at all costs.

If it was someone else, cultivating in such a huge aura, it would already be unable to withstand the huge aura, and eventually damage the meridians. Ge Tao didn't have such a problem, after all, the 'Mountains and Rivers Five Elements Bead' and the 'Five Elements Spirit Body' allowed him to withstand more and greater pressure, and the occasional rush would not affect his foundation.

In order for Ge Tao to be promoted to the 'middle stage of qi training', in addition to the full and complete true qi in his body, he also needs the stimulation of external forces, and the 'Tongmai Dan' can allow Ge Tao to get through the next two serious paths and successfully advance to the 'middle stage of qi training'.

Therefore, after the 'Three Layers of Qi Training' was completed and the bottleneck was sensed, Ge Tao began to ponder the refining of the 'Tongmai Pill', which was the most important thing.

'Tongmai Dan', as the name suggests, is an elixir that helps monks open up the meridians, and it is strictly speaking between the 'mortal-level elixir' and the 'yellow-level elixir', also known as the 'semi-elixir'!

Refining the 'Tongmai Pill', except for the main medicine 'Tongmai Cao', which is the 'Yellow Rank Lower Grade Elixir', the other medicines are mortal-level elixirs, and the refined elixirs have some characteristics of the Yellow Rank Elixir, but they are not complete.

This is also the highest-grade elixir that Ge Tao of the 'Third Layer of Qi Training' can refine, because purifying a 'Yellow Rank Elixir' and using it for Hedan is already his current limit.

However, Ge Tao was still a little hesitant now, after all, there was only one 'Tongmai Grass' on hand that was old enough to refine, and if it was messed up, it would take three months for the next batch of 'Tongmai Cao' to mature!

This also means that this 'Tongmai Grass' is Ge Tao's only chance, if he messes up, he may only be able to die with his family, disappear, and wait until he has enough strength before reappearing in the rivers and lakes.

As for how to refine the 'Tongmai Pill', Ge Tao has already practiced countless times in his heart, but he still doesn't dare to make alchemy, after all, his cultivation is too low now, and the refining of the 'Semi-Spiritual Fire' may only be able to refine the inferior 'Tongmai Pill', which is naturally an unacceptable cruel reality for Ge Tao, who is the most perfect and has a high degree of 'obsessive-compulsive disorder'.

Whether it is for the success rate or the future cultivation prospects, Ge Tao needs to refine the 'Tongmai Pill' well!

…………

"Grandpa, how is your 'Wood Spirit Alchemy' practice?" After thinking about it, Ge Tao could only set his eyes on his old man, maybe the 'Wood Spirit Alchemy' could help.

It has been more than half a month since Ge Tao handed over the 'Wood Spirit Alchemy Technique' to the old man, and during this time, the old man has been able to successfully refine the 'Qi and Blood Pill', 'Quenching Body Powder' and other pills, and they are not much worse than Ge Tao in terms of efficacy, and the talent of the single wood attribute Tianling Root in alchemy is vividly reflected.

"The refining of mortal-grade elixir is okay, but the higher the medicinal year, the more difficult it is to quench, and the yield rate has decreased!" The old man took out his record book and explained to Ge Tao the results of his refining during this time.

When he was a doctor, the old man was very strict, strictly and conscientiously recording cases and medical cases, even if he became a monk, this habit was not lost.

Ge Tao took the record book, carefully looked at the data changes in it, and knew that the old man's current limit was the 'mortal-level elixir' with 800 years of medicinal properties, and it was probably still a little difficult to refine the 'Tongmai Grass'!

However, time waits for no one, Ge Tao can only let the old man practice more, and strive to meet the requirements half a month before the agreed time limit with 'Baiyun Valley', so as not to show his stuffing!
