When Su Chen found the huge benefits brought by the spirit rice, he couldn't help but feel excited, and pondered in his heart: "One meal a day in the Spirit Valley, it only takes one year to complete the first layer of the Qi refining period." ”

In this way, his subsequent cultivation would also be greatly reduced. I just don't know how difficult it is to cultivate after the Qi refining period.

In order to figure out the total time from the first layer of cultivation in the Qi Refining Period to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period.

Su Chen waited for Old Master Lu to come back from picking spiritual peaches from the Lingtao Garden, and went to ask for advice.

Old Master Lu earned some spirit stones in the Song family's Lingtao Garden, humming a little song, looking quite happy, so he solved his doubts.

For immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period, because the spiritual essence and the cultivation methods are different, the cultivation time is not absolute.

But roughly speaking, the cultivation of the primordial gods increases with the level of the Qi refining period.

In other words, if the first layer of the Qi refining period takes one year to complete, the second layer usually needs to be cultivated for two years, and the third layer needs to be cultivated for three years... The ninth layer takes nine years, and so on.

In this way, it would take forty-five years to cultivate to the peak of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period. After reaching the peak of the late stage of Qi refining, you can go to the more powerful foundation building stage realm.

Of course, the foundation building realm is not so easy to step into. Foundation building is a big bottleneck.

The road to cultivating immortals is long, and the Qi refining period is only the first way to cultivate immortals, and many methods of cultivating immortals have just begun to come into contact, and they understand a little bit in all aspects.

The realm of the foundation building period can be regarded as the beginning of the real immortal path, and it is also a threshold for the five major immortal sects of the Shenzhou Continent to accept formal disciples.

Immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period are still at the age of one hundred, and they are no higher than mortals. However, after breaking through the bottleneck and stepping into the realm of the foundation building period, it has greatly increased to two hundred years old, and all aspects such as spiritual arts, divine thoughts, etc., have also increased significantly.

Of course, if a Qi Refining Stage Immortal Cultivator had only cultivated the first layer in ten years, then before the end of his hundred-year-old life, at most, between the three or four layers of the Qi Refining Period, it would be impossible to even touch the edge of the Foundation Building Avenue.

"It takes so long... In order to reach the late stage of Qi refining?"

Su Chen was a little stunned when he heard this.

He was now one meal a day in Linggu, that is, he had cultivated to an age like Old Master Lu at about sixty-three years old before he could expect to reach the ninth level of the Qi Refining Period.

This... Obviously slow!

Moreover, at that time, even if he cultivated to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, there was still a difficult threshold to cross, and it would take a lot of time to build a foundation. If you can't step through, I'm afraid that it will be in the realm of the Qi refining period, and you will end the path of cultivating immortals that you have just started.

As for the Five Great Immortal Sects of Shenzhou or something, I can only think about it... It's too extravagant to think about it. With his strength in the early stage of qi refining, he was too far away.

Su Chen thanked Old Master Lu for solving his doubts, came back to think about it, and gritted his teeth.

Extra meals!

One meal of spiritual rice a day is still too slow, so change it to three meals! shorten the time to reach the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Stage to fifteen years.

He is now cultivating Linggu in Lingshan, and he can earn five spirit stones a day, even if he eats three meals a day in Linggu.

Su Chen's sense of urgency arose spontaneously, and he tried to eat two or even three meals of spiritual rice a day. In order to minimize the cultivation time of one's Qi refining period.

But after he tried to eat three meals of Ling rice in one day.

Su Chen found a serious problem, and he was depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

He was shocked to find that his spiritual essence could not absorb the spiritual energy of the three bowls of spiritual rice, and could not be transformed into vitality.

Even if two bowls can't be used, they can't be absorbed at first, and the aura will be wasted and dispersed directly, and it can't be converted into vitality through the spiritual essence, let alone three bowls. One meal a day of spiritual rice is just enough to be absorbed and utilized.

Only then did Su Chen realize that his spiritual essence was really mediocre, which directly and seriously limited his absorption of spiritual energy.

As for mortals, the absorption of spiritual rice is even weaker, and it takes about three to five days to digest a bowl of spiritual rice. Eat an extra bowl and don't consume it directly, and your stomach will be uncomfortable.

This spiritual essence bottleneck directly locked the possibility of the Qi refining period cultivators desperately eating spiritual rice and advancing by leaps and bounds.

"It's... Is it Destiny?"

Su Chen was a little dazed.

If the spiritual essence does not change, his cultivation path is afraid to be difficult.

...

Since eating the first meal of Ling Rice, the number of times has gradually increased. From eating only one meal a month, it has become one meal every ten days, one meal every three or five days, until one meal a day.

Su Chen still works as his millet seller in Chaoge Immortal City, going to the Chaoge Night Market every day to sell rice for two hours, and then walking around the night market to see if anyone sells the myelin cleansing pill, and then go home.

With the hoarding of a large jar of Linggu at home, it is increasing day by day. In just half a year, more than fifty catties of Linggu have even accumulated in the grain jar.

Seeing more and seeing less, there is no longer any need to worry about Linggu, and Anu is also at ease.

But she found strangely that Su Chen's expression fell silent again, as if he was worried about something. She didn't understand why, and didn't know how to comfort her.

She is only at the peak of the first-class realm, she has not yet become an immortal, she has no perception of spiritual things, and she can help too little. I can't even help with business.

Only in his spare time, he plays the piano and plays a piano song for the public to relieve his worries.

...

Su Chen is not lacking in patience and understands the truth of being quick but not reaching.

I have just come to Chaoge Immortal City for half a year, and I only got to know a few fellow immortal cultivators here, such as Old Master Lu, Wu Qiaofu, and Zhang Xiaodi.

As a millet seller in Chongling Valley, he set up a stall in Chaoge Night Market for half a year, and he just got a familiar face. Doing business and trading, it is easy to be targeted by others when you get rich suddenly.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain can grow spirit beans and spirit valleys.

Of course, you can also grow more valuable things, such as low-grade spiritual herbs "Nine Spice Spirit Cordyceps, Spirit Fat Grass, Purple Pill Luo Fruit" and so on, which can be used to refine the elixir.

The cultivation cycle of these low-grade elixirs is ten years, or even decades. Because of the low yield of the medicine garden, many of them were picked by immortal cultivators from remote places, and the price often started with dozens of spirit stones, and the profits far exceeded those of the spirit valley.

Su Chen planted the elixir seeds he bought in the Fangcun Spirit Mountain, and harvested them in more than ten days.

Su Chen cautiously expanded his Linggu business to take into account the trading of medicinal materials, and sold them everywhere in the Chaoge Night Market. Every once in a while, add one or two low-grade elixirs.

Unconsciously, the spirit stones he had accumulated for most of the past half a year had become considerable, with as many as two thousand.

Su Chen walked around several alchemy pavilions in Chaoge Immortal City, and found that there were many mid- and low-level elixirs of various colors, but there were no myelin-washing pills for sale.

There are too few people who buy this marrow cleansing pill, and there are very few local alchemists and alchemists who can successfully refine it, and there are often shortages in Chaoge Immortal City. If you want to buy it, you can only order it, and you have to wait for a few months to buy it from the Five Great Immortal Sects that are far away.

Su Chen often wandered around the night market, and on this day, he finally saw the gray-clothed monk who had once sold the myelin cleansing pill, setting up a stall, selling some animal skins and other groceries.

"This brother, the marrow cleansing pill that Your Excellency sold last time, is there still it?"

Su Chen couldn't help but step forward to ask.

"Cleansing Pill?!"

The gray-clothed monk couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Su Chen's inquiry.

That marrow cleansing pill was obtained by him from the remains of a senior immortal cultivator in a fierce adventure half a year ago, and the pill bottle.

He was overjoyed and sold it at the night market in Asaga-Sen City. But after selling for ten days and half a month, the price of a single marrow cleansing pill is too high, and no one buys it.

Although this myelin-cleansing pill is good, the vast majority of monks in the early and middle stages of qi refining can't afford to eat one meal a day in Linggu on weekdays, so they don't need this myelin-cleansing pill at all.

No matter how good the spirit essence is, there must be enough spirit valley to eat!

Usually, only high-level cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining can take out thousands of spirit stones in one go, after accumulating a large amount of financial resources. But they have long been in the late stage of Qi refining, and strengthening the spiritual essence is no longer the most important thing, and it is imminent to break through the bottleneck of foundation building.

The gray-clothed monk was reluctant to sell this precious marrow cleansing pill at a significant price, and he was reluctant to eat it himself. I can only leave gloomily, go hunt a few spirit beasts, fur materials, and occasionally come to the night market to set up a stall, and earn some spirit stones for use first.

"It's still there!"

The gray-clothed monk took out a elixir treasure box from his bosom. This Dan has been ignored for too long, and he is too lazy to take it out and sell it.

Su Chen took a look, it was still the brilliant marrow cleansing elixir last time.

Last time, Old Master Lu also saw it and knew that this was genuine. It's just envy and can't afford it.

"It's cheaper, so I bought it. ”

"Well... If you really want it, nine hundred and fifty spirit stones will be given to you. ”

The gray-clothed monk has been holding this marrow cleansing pill in his hand for half a year, and he really can't sell it, so he can accept it with a slight reduction of dozens of spirit stones.

"Okay, I want it!"

Su Chen gritted his teeth and bought it.

If you can't give up the spirit stone, you can't strengthen the spirit essence.

He was only in the early stage of Qi refining, and he couldn't finish eating the spirit valley, and he was lacking this marrow cleansing pill to improve the spirit marrow.

"A thousand!"

Su Chen took out five hundred spirit stones and fifty catties of high-grade spirit valleys. One or two high-grade spirit valleys are equivalent to a spirit stone, and in this Chaoge Immortal City, it can be used as a spirit stone.

The gray-clothed monk counted the number of spirit stones and the quality of the spirit valley, and was quite satisfied, and said with some surprise: "For example, the disciples of the Xia Bi family are like. What is the name of Brother Tai? Make a good fate, have a fate in the future, or be able to go through the song together. If you have any business in the future, you can also take care of each other!"

Such a bold early stage Qi refining cultivator is rare.

Even a disciple of a family like him was reluctant to take this marrow cleansing pill. He was already over thirty or forty years old, and he had just reached the middle stage of Qi refining, and the family's monthly supply of spirit valleys was very small, so he relied on himself to go outside to hunt spirit beasts to earn spirit stones.

"Under the surname Su, let's talk about it in the future. ”

Su Chen smiled, didn't say much, and left.

I heard Old Master Lu say that this is one of the top ten families in Chaoge Immortal City, and it is very powerful. He wasn't too willing to deal with these disciples of the Chaoge family.

Su Chen went around a few big circles in the night market, and at the stalls selling all kinds of immortal books, he picked a book dedicated to the spiritual essence, a piece of spirit stone.

Su Chen observed behind him, left quietly, and returned to the wooden house halfway up the mountain outside Chaoge City.

He didn't eat the dinner that Anu had just cooked, and went into retreat, ready to carefully look through the texts that talked about the spiritual essence, and take this pill of marrow washing.

Last time, Old Master Lu had mentioned that the Pulp Cleansing Pill could improve the spiritual essence. But how big the effect is, Lu Fuzi has never eaten it himself, he just listens to what others say.

He wanted to try it himself, how much improvement the marrow cleansing pill that he bought back after smashing nearly a thousand spirit stones. 8)
