Zhao Di completed the cultivation of the first layer of the Qi Refining Period, and after entering the second layer of the Qi Refining Period, he immediately went to the "Ruzi Pavilion" to find the white-bearded old man Jian Shi.

After the old man detected that Zhao Di had indeed reached the second layer of cultivation, he handed Zhao Di a black glass vial, and at the same time showed a look of disdain and pity on his face.

"After all, it is also a very helpful elixir for junior immortal cultivators, and it is really a waste to let the waste of this five spirit root be used!" Jian Shi thought in his heart, but he didn't say it so ugly to his face, he just simply explained the effect of gathering qi and how to take it, and sent Zhao Di away, without even giving Zhao Di a chance to ask about his cultivation experience.

Zhao Di didn't dare to entangle more, so he took the vial and returned to his cultivation room.

He opened the wooden cork on the vial, turned the bottle upside down in the palm of his hand, and a round translucent pill with a blue and yellow color and a diameter of about half an inch fell into the palm of his hand, and suddenly a faint fragrance of fresh medicine came to his nose, making Zhao Di smell it, and the whole person's spirit was refreshed.

"This is the rumored elixir - gathering qi and dispersing? Well, it's really extraordinary, and it's so comfortable to smell it. I don't know what the effect will be after taking it. Zhao Di immediately meditated, first breathed three times, and when he calmed down, he swallowed the gathering qi powder directly into his abdomen. After a while, Zhao Di only felt that there was a strong aura in his abdomen, and knew that it was the gathering of qi that had dispersed the medicinal effect, so he hurriedly exercised his strength, and controlled this powerful aura to run in his body for one week after another according to Jian Shi's instructions, and it was not until eighty-one weeks later that this spiritual power finally returned to Zhao Di's dantian.

"After meditating for half a day after taking the elixir like this, my cultivation has actually increased so much!" Zhao Di was pleased to find that his cultivation had increased a lot.

"If I can take one pill of Qi Gathering Powder every few days, then where will it take me a year to enter the second layer of the Qi Refining Period, I'm afraid that one month will be enough!" Zhao Di even thought like this, "If there is enough of this elixir, it will be easy for me to advance to the third layer within half a year!"

It's a pity that Zhao Di has also heard that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, what a precious resource the elixir is, how can there be an unlimited supply. Even if this can only give junior immortal cultivators to enhance their cultivation, the Nanhua Jian family only distributes one pill per person every six months. If the cultivation reaches the third level of the Qi refining period, one pill will be issued every two months, and if the cultivation reaches the fourth level, one grain of Qi Gathering Powder can be received every month. As for the cultivators at the fifth level and above in the Qi refining period, the Qi Gathering and Dispersion would no longer have much effect, and at this time, the immortal cultivators would have to pursue more precious and effective intermediate and high-grade elixirs.

You must know that in order to increase the cultivation speed of immortal cultivators, apart from relying on excellent spiritual root caste, the most important external factors are only two ways to improve.

One is to look for good spiritual veins. The so-called spiritual vein refers to a place with a particularly high density of spiritual energy.

The aura between heaven and earth is not evenly distributed, but is dense in some places and thin in others. Generally speaking, in places where there are a lot of people, their aura is often thin, such as the towns where mortals live, so there are very few immortal cultivators who are willing to enter the mortal realm, which is almost equivalent to the difficulty of cultivation. It is often a place with treacherous terrain where the spiritual energy is denser, forming large and small spiritual veins in a range. According to the different density of spiritual energy contained in the spiritual vein, the spiritual vein can be divided into lower-grade spiritual vein, medium-grade spiritual vein and high-grade spiritual vein. If you think about it, you can guess that the high-grade spiritual veins with extremely dense and abnormal spiritual energy are naturally occupied by some big immortal cultivation sect forces. Even the low-grade spiritual veins have been divided up by some small and medium-sized immortal cultivation forces.

And the Nanhua Mountain Canyon area occupied by Nanhua Jian's family is a low-grade spiritual vein, and its spiritual energy is much denser than other places in the world.

Cultivating in the land of spiritual veins, the purity and quantity of spiritual energy absorbed are much higher than those in ordinary places, which is also the reason why immortal cultivators always stay in some hidden places and are easily reluctant to move around.

The second effective way to increase the speed of cultivation is to take some elixirs that strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan, such as the type of Qi Gathering and Dispersion.

These elixirs are all extracted and refined by complex methods from some cherished herbs of the old year, spirit wood. Not only are the raw materials precious and abnormal, but the success rate of refining is extremely low. Take refining qi dispersion as an example, it takes three kinds of spirit herbs with a medicinal age of more than ten years to be tempered repeatedly for a night to complete, if there is no novice who has practiced a few times, the success rate will definitely not be higher than one percent, even if it is a skilled veteran who has refined hundreds of times, the success rate will not exceed half. This is still the easiest to refine, the lowest grade Qi refining stage primary pill, if it is a higher grade pill, not only the raw materials required are twice as valuable, but even the success rate of refining is also low and scary.

Therefore, the consumption of alchemy is not at all something that ordinary immortal cultivators can afford. Monks who are proficient in refining certain elixirs have a corresponding honorable status - alchemists. If you want to become an alchemist on your own, you may have almost zero surnames, and every alchemist has the full support of the sect family behind him, so that he can give the alchemist a steady stream of raw materials to accumulate experience. There is such an alchemist in Jian's family, but he is only proficient in refining several early and intermediate pills such as Qi Gathering and Dispersion, and even so, his status in the Jian family is also very important.

There are four popular professions in the world of cultivating immortals, and alchemists are undoubtedly ranked first.

After Zhao Di realized the huge benefits of taking the pill, in addition to practicing hard every day, he looked forward to the half-year period coming soon, and he could wait for the next pill to gather qi and disperse. Without the help of the elixir, his own cultivation speed could only be described as miserable!

Although with the help of Qi Gathering and Dispersion, Zhao Di still broke through the second layer of the exercises after another three years, and his cultivation entered the third layer of the Qi Refining Period. At this time, many of the teenagers who started cultivating in the same batch as him were already cultivators at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, and they belonged to the middle level of the Qi Refining Period. There is also an excellent spiritual root owner of the second spirit root, Jian Kun, who has already reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining Period, and is only one step away from stepping into the ranks of high-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Period, leaving Zhao Di, who is still struggling at the beginning of the Qi Refining Period, far behind.

The topic that everyone in the Jian family talked about the most was which young man had recently cultivated to the Great Advancement or which disciple had mastered what kind of spells, and the rapid progress and so on. In addition to those excellent disciples, Zhao Di was also occasionally mentioned, but it was usually accompanied by a few mocking words such as "five roots" and "waste".

As for the "Little Five Roots", he had decided to give up his cultivation path as early as a year ago and return to the mortal world.

Zhao Di was not affected by being ridiculed by everyone, and he was still cultivating diligently, without the slightest appearance of being angry. With his mind in his twenties, he definitely wouldn't waste a little time dealing with the ridicule and sarcasm of the children around him.

After another period of time, the Jian family ushered in batches of children with spiritual roots. Among them, there was even an extremely rare mutated spirit root, Jian Yun, the owner of the wind spirit root, who had attracted huge attention in the Jian family since he appeared. The high-level members of the Jian family took care of him meticulously, and even arranged for an elder who was in the late stage of foundation building to be responsible for teaching Jian Yun's cultivation. It can be said that the top and bottom of the Jian family regard Jian Yun as the hope and cornerstone of the prosperity and expansion of the Jian family in the future. From the top-level cultivation techniques that were specially found for him to the Feng family to the various elixirs, as long as Jian Yun used them, they were sent in a steady stream. For a while, Jian Yun's cultivation speed was unprecedented, and it became a hot topic of discussion among everyone in the Jian family.

None of this affected Zhao Di's meticulous cultivation that lasted seventeen or eighteen hours a day, but he still got a bad news: the Great Elder of the Jian Family announced that cultivators who had reached the age of fifteen and had not yet reached the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period could not continue to stay in the Nanhua Canyon to cultivate, and they had to go out to practice, and they could not come back if they had not reached the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period or more.

Anyone who understands can see that the so-called experience is simply a nice pretense, and a monk who can't even enter the fifth layer is either very dull in his qualifications, or like Zhao Di, whose spiritual root is too poor, how can he have the opportunity to cultivate to the tenth layer of the Qi refining period? To put it bluntly, he just drove out of the family. After all, a monk whose cultivation is too low will have too little contribution to the family, and if the family is strong, it will always rely on those high-level core disciples.
