Jiangyue Town is a small town on the Hengjiang River in Huzhou, not far from Jiangcheng, the capital of Huzhou.

At the beginning, Zhang Yifan came to Baisha Village, Baisha Island, not far from this town, when he was still catching fast. Zhang Yifan looked at the people and began to miss the past, and he didn't know how his former colleagues were doing with Guihua Ji and Chen Sheng. The difference between immortals and mortals is like two worlds, and now and in the future, they will basically not intersect.

Zhang Yifan knew that he couldn't go back, but the goal in his heart was always there, he always remembered the appearance and names of those dead relatives and friends, and he didn't allow himself to forget them.

Jiangyue Island is near Jiangyue Town, but the strange thing is that the people in Jiangyue Town basically don't know about this small island. Only some old people occasionally heard that there was a small island at the place where the rivers converged a long time ago, but it disappeared for some reason, and was replaced by a thick fog that persisted all year round. Those who have good deeds go to investigate, without exception, find nothing, and over time no one cares.

The city of Egetsu Island is located on Egetsu Island.

Jiangyue Island Fang City is a famous low-level monk Fang City in Chu State, and its reputation is very great, so there are many monks who come here all the year round, and there are rumors of Jindan monks in the Fang Market from time to time.

The market is prosperous, and of course, the competition is also great. There are actually more than 20 refining shops here, and if you don't have real skills, it is undoubtedly very difficult to make a name for yourself in Jiangyue Daofang City.

Jiangyue Daofang City is backed by the Burning Sky Valley and is an industry that belongs to the Burning Sky Valley. However, this city is open to monks from all over the Chu country, and occasionally monks from other countries come here. Jiangyue Island Fang City is very fair and just, and there is no bias because it is Burning Sky Valley's own Fang City, which is also one of the reasons why Fang City can be popular.

Zhang Yifan quickly found the shop assigned to him by the sect. The shop is relatively large, two feet wide and about four feet long, with a total of three floors above ground and two floors underground. The bottom floor was the Earth Fire Room, and the upper floor was the Material Storage Room, which was enough for him.

The shop has not yet been furnished, and it is in ruins.

Zhang Yifan spent several days decorating the store. Then, with two lower grade spirit stones per person a year, he hired six mortals from Jiangyue Island as attendants, and twenty lower grade spirit stones a year, and hired an experienced fifth-layer old shopkeeper in the qi refining period on this island with a lot of money, and everything was ready, and he only owed one name.

Zhang Yifan waved his pen, and the Yifan refining shop was officially established.

Zhang Yifan didn't want to just sell magic weapons, he felt that it would be better to sell some talismans with them. He reserved a talisman counter.

Because the refining weapon has entered a person's normal track, it does not take as much time as before, so Zhang Yifan plans to spend some time on alchemy and talisman making. His fire refining body also has some bonuses to these two immortal cultivation skills, but it is not as obvious as the refining weapon.

Alchemy is a must, and this is also what he planned before. With a heavy treasure, Zhang Yifan didn't want any of his strange behaviors to arouse suspicion and increase the danger, and now he has no power to protect himself.

As for talisman making, it is because this skill can deepen his understanding of various spells and functions, and he can better refine the weapon, which is also some of Xu Ziwu's suggestions and experience for him, after all, most of the time, the talisman can actually be understood as a one-time magic weapon.

After adjusting and testing the strength of the ground fire, Zhang Yifan began to try his first refining weapon in the store.

Yifan's refining shop has a very low sense of existence, and only sells one low-grade defensive magic weapon a month, which is still because of certain discounts.

The dismal business made the shopkeeper Jiang and a few attendants of the shop a little worried about whether the refining shop would be yellow immediately. The refiner shop was well paid, and the young proprietor promised additional rewards for good business, which made them not want to lose their jobs, so they tried their best to sell magic weapons. It's just that the refining shop is really not famous, so it has little effect.

It's just that the owner doesn't seem to care a little, and he's still busy all day long, and he doesn't know what he's busy in the basement.

After a month of non-stop refining, Zhang Yifan finally refined more than a dozen low-grade magic weapons, and there were some attack, defense, and support styles.

At the same time, after failing a few times, Zhang Yifan also refined three medium-grade magic weapons, all of which were offensive weapons, because offensive magic weapons were generally easier to refine.

Zhang Yifan's refining technique was steadily improving, and he believed that it would not take long for him to refine the success rate of medium-grade magic weapons.

At this time, he also began to learn talisman making. Previously, he asked his master to buy a black mane spirit pen from the sect. This pen is very precious, and it has a certain bonus for the talisman, and it is refined from the mane of the head and neck of a relatively rare black monster beast.

The manes of more than a dozen black demon beasts can be refined into a spirit pen. The Black Demon Beast came from a top-level secret realm in the Qi Refining Period under the jurisdiction of the Fire Sect, and was a fierce third-level demon beast.

Buy the dansha, add the demon tiger demon blood and tabula rasa rune paper obtained before, and add some accessories to start refining the talisman.

The quality of a talisman depends mainly on the quality of the talisman maker and the material. At the beginning of Zhang Yifan's plan, the main stage was to refine the primary and intermediate runes, and then refine the primary and high-level runes after the level was up. As for the intermediate talisman, don't think about it now, it must be cultivated as a talisman master during the foundation building period to refine it, and it can't be tricked at all.

The business of Yifan Refining Shop began to improve in the second month. The little monk who had bought a fan refining weapon and laid down a defensive magic weapon survived under the siege of two first-level poisonous python demon beasts.

The quality of the magic weapons in Yifan's refining shop began to spread in a small and medium-sized range among low-level monks, and Zhang Yifan set the price of magic weapons relatively low, so the second month ushered in a wave of outbreaks, selling seven or eight magic weapons in a row, and word of mouth gradually spread.

Now the low-level cultivators all know that there is a very good Yifan refining shop in Jiangyue Daofang City.

Of course, relying on these, it is still impossible to complete the task of handing in at the end of the year to earn two thousand spirit stones. It is necessary to refine a medium-grade magic weapon as soon as possible, which is the mainstream magic weapon used by the majority of Qi refining period cultivators.

Zhang Yifan practiced while refining weapons and making talismans, and time passed quickly. More than half a year has passed, Zhang Yifan's guess is not wrong, he has once again encountered a reduction in cultivation.

After a year and a half of cultivation before, Zhang Yifan unexpectedly cultivated to the eleventh level of Qi refining. Then after nearly half a year of impact bottleneck, Zhang Yifan successfully cultivated to the twelfth layer of qi refining, and it was not as bumpy as entering the tenth layer of the qi refining period before.

Now that Zhang Yifan is a veritable high-level cultivator in the Qi refining period, he can hit the foundation building one step further!

During this period, there was a small episode that made Zhang Yifan a little depressed. Ju Yuan Dan was completely ineffective against him, no matter how many pills he took, it was useless.

It stands to reason that Ju Yuan Dan can be used to refine the thirteenth layer of qi, and Zhang Yifan guessed that it was estimated that he had taken too much Ju Yuan Dan, resulting in the legendary resistance. Fortunately, other pills are still effective for him, although they are much worse than Juyuan Dan, but there is no way, Zhang Yifan has to take other pills to improve mana, if he relies on his own penance, he doesn't know how long he will have to cultivate to build a foundation.

Fortunately, he had collected a lot of Purple Qi Pills before, although it was not as effective as Juyuan Pill, but it was better than nothing, and after the refining of the mysterious well water, he barely raised it to the twelfth layer. He had to find a replacement pill. Otherwise, the cultivation speed will become like a turtle speed again.

After being promoted to the twelfth layer, Zhang Yifan's cultivation began to decrease to the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and the mysterious space in the Demon Suppression was much larger, and the mysterious well water also increased.

He basically understood the law now, that is, every time he advanced to a small bottleneck, his cultivation would be lowered by a small stage, and the mysterious space and mysterious well water would also become larger and more accordingly.

If this is the case, his cultivation will undoubtedly be at least half or even more slower than other cultivators in the future, and he will need a huge amount of resources to quickly cultivate if he wants to catch up.

Zhang Yifan's heart was heavy, although he enjoyed the benefits brought to him by the secret treasure, but on the other hand, it would also consume a lot of resources, and it would be possible to cultivate to a high level only if he had many more resources than ordinary monks.

Zhang Yifan used to see that he had obtained more than 500,000 spirit stones, which was a lot, but now that he thinks about it, it seems very likely that these resources are not enough to squander by himself.

Zhang Yifan settled down and stopped thinking about this. The important thing now is to first raise the way of refining weapons and mana cultivation, step by step, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

In the past six months, Zhang Yifan has gained more and more comprehension of the way of refining, and at the same time has been exposed to the feedback of various monks using magic weapons, so Zhang Yifan's refining level has also risen steadily.

Now his success rate in refining medium-grade magic weapons is basically above the fifth layer, while low-grade magic weapons basically do not fail, and he has begun to show terrifying refining talent.

Since Zhang Yifan also took over the business of refining materials and customizing medium-grade magic weapons, so on the whole, his refining techniques became more and more proficient, and he gradually began to explore some refining methods suitable for himself.

As for cultivation, the Purple Qi Pill after refining can just be used to the eleventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, and the Purple Qi Pill accumulated over the years is two or three hundred, so there is no shortage of cultivation pills for the time being, and we will talk about it when I have recovered my cultivation.

If you want to restore your cultivation, even if you have the aid of pills and no bottleneck in your cultivation, it will take at least two years. The time is still relatively long, and during this period, he is going to find a way to get a suitable pill, preferably a pill that can get the Aiki Pill, but unfortunately this is the core low-level pill of the Jade Xuanzong, and there is no way to sell it outside.

The days of cultivation are undoubtedly boring and monotonous, but fortunately, Zhang Yifan is accompanied by Xiaobai, so he doesn't seem lonely.

Speaking of Xiaobai, I have to say that it has a deep fate and is talented. Now Xiaobai is already a third-level demon beast, and he has been promoted two levels in the past two years.

Moreover, after taking the Xuanyue Spirit Fruit for a long time, Xiaobai's bloodline became more and more refined, and there was a faint trace of the legendary Holy Beast Xuanyue White Tiger. Of course, Xiao Bai was still 108,000 miles away from the Xuanbai Tiger Holy Beast.

But Zhang Yifan believed that as long as he swallowed the Xuanyue Spirit Fruit for a long time, Xiaobai's bloodline would eventually evolve into a little bloodline with the Xuanyue White Tiger Holy Beast, not to mention that he still had more than 100 Xuanyue Fruits with a longer age in his hand, so the effect should be better.

After the advancement, Xiaobai became more and more ferocious, and at this time it had grown to more than seven feet long, larger than an adult. But the mental age doesn't seem to have grown, and it's still like a human child, very lively and active.

Xiaobai also comprehended the talent and supernatural powers that his grandfather handed over to him, and also had his own long-range attack method - Tiger Roaring Blade. The Tiger Roar Blade is powerful, and its attack speed is fast and powerful, comparable to the beginner and high-level wind spell Blade Technique.

But if Xiao Bai wants to become a fourth-level spirit beast, if he doesn't have a chance, it will be difficult to be promoted in a short time. Level 3 to Level 4 is a big hurdle, and it is even more difficult than refining Qi to building a foundation. This kind of thing has to be boiled slowly, and there is no shortcut. Now Xiaobai is still some distance away from the third-level consummation, so let's cultivate it slowly.

Zhang Yifan's talisman level began to rise steadily from scratch. Now he can start drawing beginner runes, with a success rate of as much as 30%. It is important to know that the average talisman maker generally needs to go through at least three years of hard practice and manual training, and practice makes perfect to achieve the success rate of the third layer. It's also the difference between gifted and ungifted.

Zhang Yifan added all kinds of primary primary-level talismans to the Yifan refining shop, which were very cheap, and he basically sold them at cost price, earning only less than one layer of profit.

This undoubtedly made the Yifan refining shop more famous, and a steady stream of monks began to come and return satisfied.

Everything was on the right track, and half a year later, Zhang Yifan's shop overfulfilled the task of two thousand spirit stones.

After paying two thousand spirit stones in profits and one thousand spirit stones in rent to the sect, Zhang Yifan himself earned nearly a thousand spirit stones. Zhang Yifan was not stingy when he paid dividends at the end of the year, and the shopkeeper Jiang received a dividend of twenty yuan, and the six attendants each received one to three spirit stones according to their performance. Everyone was overjoyed and glad to have found a good owner.
