After this drunken heartfelt conversation, Su Chen and Master Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, and decided to speed up their cultivation progress and use up their daily time to avoid wasting it.

After the many gourd spirit vines inside and outside the large courtyard were planted, he could occasionally apply fertilizer for ten days and a half months, and he did not need to take time to take care of them.

The time that Su Chen spends every day on cultivating the immortal cultivation method "Butterfly Chapter of Wandering Away" only takes two hours, which is enough.

He captured a wild first-order high-grade spirit butterfly, erased the spiritual consciousness in its brain with the "butterfly transformation technique", occupied its butterfly brain with a wisp of his divine thoughts, and manipulated it to go to the nearby spiritual mountain to pick spiritual honey.

After retracting this wisp of divine thought, this wild spirit butterfly will not die, but it will stay motionless in the courtyard as if it is a lost soul, waiting for Su Chen to control it with divine thoughts next time.

The spiritual nectar picked by this wild spirit butterfly was given to Su Chen and refined into vitality. The effect of spiritual honey is almost equivalent to a bowl of spiritual rice.

Su Chen is naturally not bad at this spiritual honey.

However, he was surprised to discover another special benefit of this immortal formula.

He found that he frequently performed the "Butterfly Transformation Technique", and then used the "Soul Return Technique" to withdraw this wisp of divine thought. This wisp of divine thought is actually getting stronger and stronger very slowly.

In just one year, the wisp of divine thought he had separated had nearly doubled.

I don't know what the reason is, could it be that the spirit butterfly has the effect of nurturing divine thoughts?

The immortal cultivator's divine thoughts are formless and colorless, and it is difficult to describe how it looks. But to test its strength, it's also very simple. With the power of pure divine thought, an item of a certain weight can be lifted out of thin air, and it can be measured.

The power of the divine thoughts of the cultivators in the Qi refining period is between "one and nine coins".

The divine thoughts of the monks in the foundation building period are between "one or two and nine taels", and they do not weigh more than one catty.

Therefore, the weight of the second-order flying sword magic weapon in the immortal cultivation realm is extremely light after refining, usually the second-order lower-grade magic weapon is between "one or two to three taels", and the second-order middle grade is between "four two and five taels". The shape of the ritual vessel is also very small, about a few inches long.

After the flying sword is infused with powerful mana, it turns into a long flying sword. Only in the high-speed flight state can a foundation monk be driven to fly at speed.

If the flying sword is forbidden to move, the Zhuji monk can't simply use the power of divine thoughts to make the flying sword and himself levitate in the air. At most, use mana to drag yourself up temporarily.

Now, Su Chen is still on the second floor of the foundation building period, but he can use his divine thoughts to lift three or two items, and the strength of his divine thoughts is close to the level of the third-layer monks of the foundation building period.

Su Chen found that his divine thoughts had become quite interesting, and he now had two wisps of divine thoughts. If used separately, one wisp of weak divine thought can be lifted by one or two, and the other wisp of strong divine thought can be lifted by two or two.

"The environment for cultivating immortals in ancient times was different from now, and it was more difficult and harsh, so I let the spirit butterfly collect nectar to cultivate. This ancient exercise "Butterfly Chapter", while collecting honey and cultivating, also cultivates divine thoughts, but it is very good... When the divine mind becomes stronger, the benefits should not be good!"

Su Chen thought secretly.

Having two wisps of divine thought means that you can control two second-order magic weapons at the same time!

The divine mind is too weak to drive high-level magic weapons.

It seems that cultivating this "Butterfly Transformation Technique" more to strengthen the divine mind is still quite effective.

"Simply, use the 'Splitting Divine Technique' to split the Divine Thoughts into three realms! This way, you can leave a wisp to guard yourself, and at the same time let the two wild spirit butterflies go to collect honey separately, and at the same time cultivate your own Divine Thoughts. ”

Su Chen thought of it and did it.

The last time he cast the Splitting Spell was more than a year ago. The painful memories of casting the Splitting Spell have faded.

Su Chen took a moment to condense a thin cyan light blade, and once again turned his own wisp of strong divine thought, everything into two.

He tried another painful process of splitting his gods, leaving him almost shivering and sweating profusely. After a day of recuperation at home, I recovered and returned to normal.

With three wisps of divine thought, he could let two of them manipulate two wild spirit butterflies to go out to collect honey.

Su Chen didn't dare to let the three wisps of divine thoughts leave his body at the same time, in case these three spirit butterflies were killed at the same time outside, he would become a nerd with soul loss.

...

In addition to practicing the exercises every day, Su Chen still has a lot of free time left.

In Tonglu Mountain, he simply rented a second-order earth fire alchemy room, and often retreated for alchemy, refining the most common second-order spirit pills such as the second-order "Bigu Dan and Juling Spirit Pill", and steadily improved his alchemy level.

He is already an alchemist, and if he wants to rise to the realm of an alchemy master, he needs a lot of frequent alchemy experience. As long as the number of elixirs in his hand is large, the number of alchemy is large, practice makes perfect, and the rate of alchemy is high, alchemy will naturally skyrocket.

Ordinary alchemists often don't have the opportunity to refine a furnace of second-order spirit pills in a month, but Su Chen refines several furnaces every day, and the number of times is hundreds of times higher.

Especially for pills such as Bigu Pill and Juling Pill, the monthly consumption within Penglai Immortal Sect is extremely large, and the elixir refined by Su Chen is not worried about sales at all.

In addition, Su Chen rented a first-order refining room to refine gourd spirit weapons, and occasionally took time to refine gourds, taking gourd refining as his sideline.

Su Chen found a jade slip of refining weapons in the Immortal Sect Library, which specifically introduced how to refine 'gourd' type spiritual weapons and magic weapons.

He didn't look for a refining master, he was all trying to refine the lowest-level first-order spirit gourd into a spirit weapon while pondering by himself.

It doesn't matter if the refining is wasted, the twenty spirit stones of the spirit gourd he grew by himself are very cheap. After refining a few more times, he naturally learned to refine the gourd spirit weapon.

For spirit gourds with different attributes, the refining methods are naturally different.

The spirit gourd is a woody material, which is completely different from the ore material, and is not refined by a fire hammer.

The lowest-level fire-type gourd spirit weapon can be refined into a semi-finished product after being continuously refined by warm fire for more than ten days.

The water hyacinth spirit weapon needs to be soaked in spiritual water for 49 days.

The wind-based gourd is hung in the canyon and blown for several months to be completely dried.

The initial refining steps of the spirit gourd are relatively simple, and after a little processing, it becomes a semi-finished product.

A more arduous step is to arrange a miniature space formation in the semi-finished spirit gourd, so that this small gourd belly can accommodate a large number of items in a space of more than one zhang like a storage bag and a Sumeru ring.

The spirit gourd has a large abdominal space, a big belly, and infinite use, which is the most typical use of gourd magic weapons. And spirit swords, spirit knives and the like have no such use.

Space formation is an extremely difficult profession, and it is not something that ordinary monks can master. You must be a wind-type monk and can only study when you reach the foundation building period. If you want to become a monk, at least you are a Jindan monk.

Su Chen is not a wind cultivator, so he can't master the space formation.

But he didn't need to do it himself, there were quite a few wind space array mages in the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Su Chen directly went to the foundation building monk in the Penglai Immortal Sect who had mastered the space formation, just buy back a miniature space formation, and then install it in the belly of the gourd spirit weapon, and a low-level gourd spirit weapon would be officially made.

Su Chen also didn't refine other spiritual weapons, but specialized in refining single-line gourd spiritual weapons.

After refining a low-grade spirit gourd, he sold it. The gourd spirit weapon he refined was cheap and affordable, and it was specially sold to Qi refining period cultivators.

The 100,000 Qi Refining Period disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect do not have many gourds as combat spirit weapons, about one percent, less than a thousand people, and they are niche battle spirit weapons.

Of course, the gourd isn't just for fighting. It has many other uses, especially to hold things and replace the role of low-level storage bags.

Many immortal cultivators in the late stage of qi refining like to use low-level gourd spirit weapons to hold spiritual wine, or spiritual water, and tie a spiritual gourd around their waists, and a floating immortal cultivator's breath arises spontaneously.

Therefore, the sales volume of the spirit gourd in the Penglai Immortal Sect is also quite large, and it can sell nearly five or six hundred first-order gourd spirit weapons a year.

Even if Su Chen kept refining the first-order spirit gourd, he couldn't satisfy one-tenth of the sales of the first-order gourd spirit weapon of the entire Penglai Immortal Sect.

Su Chen's refining was not fast, and he would refine more than twenty or thirty first-order gourd spirit weapons in a year.

In just one year, Su Chen's refining side business was promoted from a refining apprentice to a refining craftsman.

It's just that he, a refiner, doesn't know how to refine other magic weapons, but specializes in gourd spirit weapons, and can refine low-grade gourd spirit weapons of the first order.

Of course, this is just Su Chen's side business, and the focus is still on alchemy.

In this moment, the years have passed, and it has been two years.

Su Chen also remained silent in Tonglu Mountain for two years, except for cultivation, most of the rest of the time for alchemy, a small amount of time for refining, rarely appeared in the outside world, and rarely socialized with the alchemists of Penglai Immortal Sect.

The cultivation of the second floor of his foundation building period has only increased by more than half, not far from the third floor of the foundation building period. And the level of alchemy has skyrocketed by leaps and bounds, reaching the realm of alchemy masters.
