Familiar steps, familiar places.

In this cramped cave, Luo Chen once again operated Changchun Gong.

The aroma of soothing incense, quiet and elegant, calmed his excited and anticipatory mood to the ancient well.

A large amount of spiritual energy entered his body, absorbed, devoured, and refined, and eventually became part of his spiritual power.

But that's not enough!

The Qi Nourishing Pill in Luo Chen's mouth grunted and swallowed it in his stomach.

The greater medicinal power washed the meridians and finally returned to the dantian.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a feeling of a silver bottle bursting, and it was fleeting.

Luo Chen's mind fluctuated slightly, and he had already missed that feeling.

But he was not angry, according to Mi Shuhua's book "Experience in Qi Refining", the late stage of Qi refining and the middle and middle stages of Qi refining are two completely different realms.

The upper limit of the spiritual power contained in the former's body is almost the sum of one to six layers, or even more.

The early and middle stage cultivators of Qi refining have extremely scarce spiritual power in their bodies, resulting in a very lack of combat means for them.

Even if you have enough magic weapons in your hand, you can't actually use them.

However, once they reached the late-stage realm and their spiritual power capacity increased, they could get rid of this shackle.

Just like when he first discussed the Dao platform, Zeng asked that the means were frequent, and the talismans, spells, and magic weapons almost perfectly showed all the means that a Qi Refining Realm cultivator could use.

The reason for this change.

It lies in the principle that quantitative change causes qualitative change.

The cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining have almost opened up all the meridians that they can get through.

The capacity of the dantian has also reached a certain level and can no longer be expanded.

Therefore, the late-stage cultivators of Qi refining are more focused on aura purification.

With the same dantian volume, the spiritual power of the previous realm was purified several times.

It is said that if the spiritual power that floats and is nothing can be purified to a liquefied state, the monk will have an opportunity to break through the realm of foundation building.

Luo Chen didn't know the principle, but he was now trying to run Changchun Gong over and over again according to what Mi Shuhua said in his qi refining experience, using the characteristics of the exercise to purify the spiritual power in his body, and use this huge spiritual power to impact the dantian.

Another Qi Nourishing Pill entered his abdomen, and Luo Chen's mind became unwavering again.

After a long time, that abrupt feeling resurfaced.

This time, Luo Chen caught it perfectly.

The silver bottle burst open, and the spiritual power suddenly exploded.

Click! Click! Click!

A crisp sound erupted in the body, as if the bamboo was cracking.

Suddenly, Luo Chen's face turned pale, and he opened his eyes instantly.

An aura of contradiction between weakness and strength surfaced on him at the same time.

Seven layers of qi refining!

"It took more than two months, and I finally broke through!"

Glancing at the attributes panel, he smiled with satisfaction.

However, before there was time to rejoice, all the attention fell on those meridians in the body.

"In the later stage of qi refining, when the dantian is solidified and the meridians are opened, the main thing is to purify the spiritual power."

"But to break through to the late stage of qi refining, it is mainly to open the upper limit of the dantian and break more meridians."

"My situation is different from others, the Grandmaster-level Changchun Gong has already opened my meridians. But I didn't expect this innate advantage, but when I got here, it was almost a bad thing. ”

"Still, it worked."

Breaking through the late-stage realm, more meridians should have been opened.

But Luo Chen had already been connected, which caused the huge spiritual power just now to rush out of the opened up dantian for a while.

Without the congenital blockage of the meridians alleviated, these flood-like spiritual powers walked around his body unscrupulously.

Now, he has taken these spiritual powers back to the dantian.

But those meridians that have been ravaged are in a fragmented state.

"Damage to the meridians is a trivial matter, and there are many ways to make up for it, so I don't have to worry about that."

"However, after the dantian is expanded, it can almost carry twice as much spiritual power as when refining qi at the sixth layer."

After some observation, Luo Chen finally put his mind at ease.

Put away the furnace, and put the dust on the ground away, and throw it away later.

The time it took to break through was not long.

If it was before, Luo Chen would definitely continue to practice.

But today it is not good, the meridians are injured, and before recovery, you have to recuperate.

It was still early, and Luo Chen didn't feel sleepy for a while.

After all, he was still a little excited about the breakthrough.

After walking around the cramped and narrow cave, Luo Chen finally sat down on the original spirit stone mine.

Click!

A piece of transparent spirit stone ore was gently broken off by him.

With the blessing of the Spiritual Eye Technique, he could easily detect the remnants of the pure aura in the transparent ore.

"Huh?"

Luo Chen was stunned.

He originally thought that the reason why the aura in the veins could be directly absorbed was because when it overflowed, it was filtered layer by layer.

But when you open it up now, it doesn't seem to be the case?

Obviously, the aura inside the vein is so pure that it can be directly absorbed!

"Then why, inside our spirit stones, the spiritual energy is so full of impurities. Once inhaled, it will run wild? ”

Luo Chen took out a standard low-grade spirit stone.

He tried to break it, but he couldn't break it.

After thinking about it, I tried it with a jasper knife, but it didn't work.

"It's hard!"

Luo Chen came to the temperament and directly took out the Soul Breaking Nail.

A high-grade magic weapon, and it is not engraved with any first-order formation, but engraved with a second-order armor-piercing array.

Go!

With a flick of his fingers, the Soul Breaker Nail grazed the diamond-shaped hedron.

A crack cracked.

At the same time, the aura contained in it is frantically vented to the outside.

Maybe it's too close, and most of them have accumulated directly to the spirit stone mine.

But there are still a small number of them, which are free from the outside world.

Luo Chen's Spirit Eye Technique was operating to the maximum, staring at the overflowing spirit stone aura nearby.

"What are these black wandering gases?"

Suddenly, Luo Chen saw that in those aura, there was a trace of free black qi.

They are at odds with the state of Reiki, compatible with each other, but mutually exclusive.

As soon as it was released, they ran towards the outside world, and they also carried part of the aura and ran around together.

Staring at this strange scene, Luo Chen's mind was full of thoughts, and various speculations surfaced.

"This is the unique means by which the Great Sect can make spirit stones?"

"Anti-counterfeiting mark? Exclusive logo? ”

"Is it a means to stabilize the aura and solidify it into the spirit stone? Or is it a method specifically designed to curb direct absorption by monks? ”

Luo Chen tried to use his spiritual power to capture those wandering black qi, but he didn't catch anything.

You can see it with your eyes, but why can't you catch it?

Luo Chen frowned, watching as the black qi dissipated into the air.

"Will it just disappear?"

"It's kind of like some kind of one-time consumable."

Luo Chen stared at the lower grade spirit stone he took out.

After hesitating for a moment, he put it back again.

Forget it, now I don't have the means to catch this black qi, even if I destroy more spirit stones, it's just a waste.

However, if one day, if you can master the method of eliminating or controlling this black qi, then you can also absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone and fight the enemy at the same time.

It is said that the monks in the great sect have similar methods.

It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to fight head-on with sect monks, let alone a protracted battle.

"However, if you don't cultivate here in the future, you can consider taking this piece of raw ore away as a backup energy source!"

Luo Chen stared at the spirit stone mine, planning to break the foundation.

…….

After a night's rest, Luo Chen's complexion was much better than before.

But at first glance, he still feels weak and pale.

When Mi Shuhua came here, the Luo Chen he saw was like this.

He originally came with joy, because yesterday Sikong Shoujia brought him back a medium-grade chalcedony pill.

This represents a breakthrough in Luo Chen's alchemy.

The lower grade and the middle grade are completely different!

A bottle of low-grade chalcedony pill can only be sold for ten spirit stones, and because of the sequelae, it will make many monks hesitate.

However, a bottle of medium-grade chalcedony pill, because of its sufficient medicinal power, can support the cultivation of early and mid-stage monks, and it can completely raise the price to forty or fifty spirit stones!

This means that Dantang will usher in huge benefits.

Far more than the benefits of Zhongmiyomaru!

It is precisely because of this that the happy Mi Shuhua did not come empty-handed.

He asked people to bring a large number of demon beast meat, spiritual rice, and used to reward the internal monks of the Dan Hall.

After all, there was one dead and one injured yesterday, so don't let the morale go down.

For Luo Chen, he prepared a big gift, and only hoped that the other party would make persistent efforts.

However, when he saw Luo Chen's sick appearance, his heart was as cold as the coming winter.

"Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, what's wrong with you!"

Lying on the bed, Luo Chen opened his eyes "weakly", "Mi Gang Master, I'm just afraid that I can't do it." ”

"Uh......"

Mi Shuhua couldn't hold back, his spiritual sense was released, and he knew Luo Chen's situation with just a sweep.

"What nonsense is it, it's just that the meridians are damaged. I have a bottle of replenishing and moisturizing liquid, which is used by the monks of the foundation building, and I can mix it with water and drink it, and I can cure the disease in a month. ”

Sou!

That bottle of elixir, before Mi Shuhua's words were finished, had already reached Luo Chen's hands.

Sitting up, Luo Chen looked at the elixir curiously.

"Replenish the lack of moisturizer?"

Mi Shuhua said helplessly: "Yes, once the monk breaks through the foundation, the dantian will solidify and be indestructible, and it is rare for the qi refining monk to have the embarrassment of the dantian being broken. ”

"In this case, the foundation building monk will try to open all the meridians in the body, as well as all the knots, and use these additional places to store spiritual power."

"If you rashly open the meridian acupoints, there will naturally be some micro-damage. It is the elixir pavilion that exclusively sells this deficiency moisturizing liquid, and the effect is excellent. ”

After listening to this explanation, Luo Chen was like a treasure.

Holding the jade bottle, Luo Chen said with emotion: "Mi Gang Master, you are so good to me, if you weren't too old, I would have wanted to recognize you as my father-in-law." ”

Who is old!

I still have a hundred years to live!

Mi Shuhua's forehead jumped, and he didn't go down.

Luo Chen's words meant that he didn't want to recognize him as his father-in-law.

He didn't have that mood, Luo Chen's value was in alchemy, but the other party's qualifications were too poor, and it would be difficult for him to be promoted and build a foundation for the rest of his life.

My current investment is almost over.

If you become a cheap daddy on the other side, then you must not bleed profusely!

When it comes to qualifications, Mi Shuhua found out that something was wrong.

"Have you refined qi at the seventh level?"

Luo Chen chuckled in his heart, and he still didn't fool the past when his words were interfered with just now.

Sure enough, was it still discovered?

The perfect level of breath gathering spirit determination cannot resist the snooping of the spiritual sense of the foundation building monk.

But it doesn't seem to be without effect, at least when Mi Shuhua checked his injury for the first time, he didn't find it.

Luo Chen smiled helplessly: "Yes, this body injury was left by forcibly breaking through the seventh layer of qi refining. ”

"Why be in such a hurry?" Mi Shuhua frowned.

"How can you not be in a hurry? The gang needs me to refine the pill, and everyone in the Dantang is also working hard, even paying the price of their lives. ”

"Xiao Luo only hates his low realm and can't contribute more strength to the gang."

"I hate it!"

"It's because I learned from the pain last night, and with the help of a whole bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill you gave me, I forcibly broke through."

Luo Chen said bitterly, and then his face became gloomy again.

"It's a pity that my qualifications are so poor, just one attempt, but I got myself bruised. Alas....... avenue is hopeless, avenue is hopeless! ”

Speaking of the back, his tone was gloomy, and his expression was tired, as if he was not interested in anything.

Mi Shuhua began to listen, and felt that those words were a little familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere.

When he saw Luo Chen in the back, he looked more sad than dead, but he was anxious.

"At such a young age, how can you be discouraged by such a setback!"

"And aren't you a success, you should be proud of yourself!"

"Cheer up, I won't allow you to fall!"

Luo Chen opened Bling Bling's big eyes, "Helper, can the Five Spirit Roots really build a foundation?" ”

Mi Shuhua said earnestly: "As long as the resources are enough, even a pig can become a demon beast king." You...... Of course, not that you're a pig. ”

After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "You can refine the medium-grade chalcedony pill now, and in the future, the income of the Dantang will get better and better, and the dividends will be more and more, and you are also very hopeful to build a foundation." ”

"Then I'm relieved!"

Luo Chen got out of bed with a butt, very neatly.

I can't see weakness at all.

After all, if you improve the realm, your strength will rise. The slightest internal injury does not affect the freedom of movement.

In fact, what he wanted was Mi Shuhua's last sentence just now.

With Mi Shuhua's words, in the future, the dividends of the chalcedony pill will not be easy for others to pinch him.

Looking at Mi Shuhua with a smile, Luo Chen spread out his hands: "I heard that you are always here to reward everyone today, do you have my share!" ”

Mi Shuhua's cheeks twitched, this guy is waiting for him here!

With a flick of his right hand, a piece of paper fell in front of Luo Chen.

"Well, take a closer look, it should be of great help to your Dan Dao."

Luo Chen spread out the paper curiously, why is this paper so familiar?

Wait, isn't this the paper of "Qingyuan Dan Solution"?

Good fellow, you gave me a hand in this regard before!

……

……

Mi Shuhua went to reward the monks in the Dan Hall.

With his honorable status as a foundation building monk, doing this kind of thing in person can play a very good role in boosting the morale that was originally hit.

Luo Chen was behind, holding the piece of paper and studying it.

He confirmed that this was a page on the "Qingyuan Dan Solution".

The reason why I didn't find a page missing before is because the things on this page have nothing to do with the previous ones.

On the contrary, it is like the author Qing Yuanzi, a kind of Danshu that is supplemented separately later.

Yes, Danshu!

Just like the Spirit Planter, there will be some specific spells that are useless for combat, but they are very useful for cultivating Spirit Plants on a regular basis.

What kind of small clouds and rain decision, propylene fire burning technique, Taiyin Yimu biogas technique and the like.

Their alchemists, in fact, also have some auxiliary spells, which are called Danshu by the world.

For example, Luo Chen's jade folding hand and plain heart hand that he learned before are the most basic Danshu.

It has an outstanding effect on the treatment of minerals, plants, flowers and fruits.

And on this separate piece of paper, there is a record of a Danshu called "Qingyuan Dan Cultivation Technique".

This kind of Danshu has no effect on processing raw materials, alchemy, and it is not beneficial to the battle between monks.

However, if you practice this technique, you will have the opportunity to raise the elixir that has already been fixed to another level.

"There is still such a Danshu in the world?"

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the Dan room, where there was a group of Dan cultivators he had cultivated.

Although there is also the word "Yangdan" in the name, what I usually do is to store, store, and take care of the pills, in case the refined pills are improperly placed and the medicinal power is lost.

But this Qingyuan Dan cultivation technique is completely different.

With a specific technique and a specific environment, there is an opportunity to raise the fixed grade of the elixir to a higher level.

At the beginning, the reason why Qing Yuanzi was able to refine the third-order pill during the foundation building period was to use this pill technique.

This Danshu is not difficult to learn, after Luo Chen saw it, he was very sure that he could learn it in a short time.

However, the "specific" methods recorded on paper made him very difficult.

"The last time it has to be a first-order high-grade Dan furnace, the best is the best, and the magic treasure Dan furnace is the best!"

"The grade of the selected elixir must be the best elixir."

"At least ten or more parts of raw materials are maintained in the furnace at all times to replenish the medicinal power."

"The location of the Dan Room is preferably a place of spiritual veins, and at the very least, it must be some kind of special environment that is beneficial to the pill."

"Monks need to refine the quality of the elixir with the foundation true fire at all times, and if there is no true fire, it can also be replaced by all kinds of heavenly fire, earth fire, and strange fire."

"The time limit for raising pills is to start in half a year at the earliest, and it can reach a hundred years at the longest."

Get one’s dander up!

After reading those "specific" methods, Luo Chen only felt that his scalp was numb.

None of these things could be easily done by him.

It seems that the simplest ten raw materials actually have a premise of "at least".

In other words, if there is a shortage of raw materials, they have to be replenished at any time.

And starting with a six-month time limit, the devil knows how many raw materials will be consumed.

Also, another "spiritual vein land" that he seems to be satisfied with is actually whimsical.

The spiritual vein cave he found was just a branch vein.

Supporting him to practice alone, he can barely do it.

But to say that it is used to support Yangdan, it is absolutely impossible.

"No wonder Mi Shuhua didn't give me this piece of paper before, because he was afraid that I would be so ambitious and whimsical!"

"It's no wonder that he decided to give it to me now, probably because I was refining the chalcedony pill card in the lower grade before, and I couldn't break through for a long time. He gave me this piece of paper because he wanted me to use it to attack jade and research something else with the help of its mountain stone. ”

In general, this Qingyuan Dan Cultivation Technique is very chicken for the current Luo Chen.

There are too many restrictions.

"Put it away first, I won't have the time to use this technique in the future."

Luo Chen sighed, but still put it away.

Anything that is beneficial to alchemy is an improvement for him!

Now that he has been alchemy for so long, the more he comes into contact with it, the more he feels that the way of alchemy is broad and profound.

In the past, it was a small fight with small households, and the real scenery is now just a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

Maybe the real contact with the alchemy avenue has to be after the promotion foundation building period.

Just when Luo Chen was thinking about it, Mi Shuhua had already finished the reward and came to him.

"Next month is the day the auction begins, are you sure you want to participate?"

Luo Chen patted the storage bag, "I have a lot of money!" ”

The old man smiled, smiling disdainfully.

Luo Chen's face flushed, "Even if you can't afford to buy something, it's good to just take a look and gain a long insight!" ”

"Okay, count you in a quota, and open your eyes with the old man when the time comes."

……

After getting off work today, Luo Chen did not stay in Dantang.

First, the meridians are damaged and not suitable for cultivation.

Second, staying here every day will always make people suspicious.

Moreover, the life of Dantang is indeed relatively hard, and every day is either alchemy or cultivation.

For Qi Refining Stage cultivators who had not yet built a foundation, few people could endure this kind of life.

Luo Chen is not unbearable, but if he does this every day, sooner or later he will have to go mad.

Sometimes, some necessary relaxation is still necessary.

After returning to the yard, Luo Chen first used the cleaning technique to do a big cleaning, and then went out to buy it briefly.

By the way, I also went to the original house, found the original old man and the original Xiaoyue, and calculated the income of the food stall last month.

"Six hundred and twenty spirit stones, well, it's good, it seems that the monthly income has stabilized now."

Luo Chen took the spirit stone and made a simple calculation.

Then she gave Yuan Xiaoyue thirty spirit stones, which was her salary last month.

He took out an additional hundred spirit stones, which was almost the purchase price of the original batch of pineapple wine.

After Yuan Xiaoyue took the spirit stone, she raised her goose egg face and said, "Actually, in the previous month, I once earned more than nine hundred spirit stones, and I feel that I can sell more." ”

"Oh?"

Luo Chen was interested, he didn't expect a small snack stall to have such a big market.

Do you want to think about it, become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance again?

"But since this month, there have been other people who have also started selling all kinds of snacks." Yuan Xiaoyue pursed her mouth and said very unhappily: "Aunt Li next door has launched a bean curd rice, which is said to be a simple recipe learned from Zhong Ding's family, and it can also replenish spiritual power. ”

"There is also a small stall set up opposite me, specializing in selling all kinds of monster jerky. Although it is not as good as the spicy beef jerky you made, Brother Luo, it is better than the variety. ”

"And ......"

Seeing her chattering about those competitors, Luo Chen, who originally had some feelings that the monks in this world would also follow suit and start a business, couldn't help laughing.

rubbed the little girl's increasingly black and bright hair.

"Xiaoyue, you can't earn enough spirit stones, others also have to earn them to practice and live, let's just sell our own."

This little girl was soft and weak at first, shy and timid.

After setting up the stall for many months, it has become very generous.

It's just getting more and more calculating.

Yuan Xiaoyue broke away from Luo Chen's hand and opened her big round eyes, "But there are some of them who have obviously copied Brother Luo's secret recipe!" ”

"It's like the one on the other side who sells demon beast jerky, and he bought beef jerky from me for half a month before setting up a stall to eat, and he is obviously trying to find the trick inside."

"And the one who sells popping beans, which is also very similar to our fairy beans."

Luo Chen smiled dumbly.

After a while, he shook his head and chuckled: "The secret recipe that can be plagiarized is not a secret recipe." ”

"And...... Did they pay protection money? ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Xiaoyue was stunned.

The old man who was sipping wine next to him didn't say anything, and he also put down the wine gourd curiously.

Luo Chen nodded Yuan Xiaoyue's forehead, "Stupid, the wine you give to the Sword Pavilion monk every month is not for nothing. ”

"Tomorrow, you go to find that Sword Pavilion monk, and say that the square has been too dirty recently, which has affected the environment of the Dao Terrace that the Jade Ding Sword Pavilion has built with great difficulty."

"In addition, I remember that part of Baishi Square is still a scattered stall!"

"You give me a proposal, let the Jade Ding Sword Pavilion get a big stone slab and standardize the stall. For each stall, collect one or two spirit stones. ”

"Remember to set the booth with the best location and the largest flow of people in advance, and we will also hand over the spirit stones!"

After hearing these words, Yuan Xiaoyue was stunned.

Next to her, her grandfather was also confused.

Luo Chen didn't say too much, the trick of "looking for chengguan" has been enough for a long time.

As for the competition in the future?

There are stalls with the best locations, and they are already invincible.

Take the time to study a few new snacks yourself, and the competitiveness of the product will come up again?

There are so many people in Dantang, and usually Danlu also has free time.

It was a breeze to ask those internal monks to help stir up a few snacks for him.

I don't believe it, can individual retail investors compete with him, a manufacturer with one-stop service?

"By the way, next month's birthday is my birthday, and the wine will be set in the courtyard, will you come?"

Seeing that the two hesitated, Luo Chen added.

"It's not a big deal, just a few friends to have a meal together and drink a little wine."

Yuan Xiaoyue was a little moved, and her grandfather had already spoken.

"I'm not going to go as an old guy, Xiaoyue can go and have a fun, and it's good to know a few seniors."
