Mortals: Practice the Three Thousand Great Ways to Gain Eternal Life

Chapter 18 Harvest of the elixir
Spring went and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed since Lin Shou joined the Yellow Maple Valley.

One year is nothing even for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, let alone a high-level cultivator above the Jindan Stage. Often, it is not enough to improve even one level of realm.

But this is only for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, but not for Lin Shou, who has become famous throughout the Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation world for possessing a natural spiritual root of wood attribute.

In just one year, he was able to advance to the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage.

It takes one year to advance three levels. Even if there is no bottleneck before the stage of forming a pill with the spiritual roots, as long as the true essence and magic power in the body are accumulated enough, a breakthrough can be achieved naturally.

It was enough to shock most cultivators, but the only one who actually knew about this was Lin Shou's master Lei Wanhe.

As for this matter, Lei Wanhe just laughed and said three words: "Okay, okay!"

He let Lin Shou continue to stay in the cave and practice with peace of mind, and also left him some spirit stones for the second year.

There are a total of twelve mid-level wood-attribute spirit stones, some talismans, and three bottles of elixirs that can help Qi Refining cultivators improve their cultivation level.

These things were indeed of great use, allowing Lin Shou to improve his cultivation level by one level within half a month, reaching the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. This speed of cultivation was almost world-shocking.

But for Lin Shou, who has practiced the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art", it is still a little slow.

If you want to speed up your cultivation and succeed in building your foundation as soon as possible, you need wood-attributed spiritual stones or various spiritual woods, wood-attributed materials, in short, any spiritual objects related to "wood".

Therefore, Lin Shou decided to leave Huangfeng Valley and go out to exchange for some wood-attributed spirit stones, spirit wood materials or other spirit objects useful for cultivation.

As for how to exchange it, of course, he would use the elixir he had cultivated using the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art" over the past year.

There are a total of five thousand-year-old elixirs, which are also the first five medicinal herbs.

There are eight five-hundred-year-old spiritual medicines and fifteen three-hundred-year-old medicinal herbs. These are a batch of spiritual medicines that a cultivator in the Jindan stage cannot refuse.

However, with Lin Shou’s current level, if he wants to exchange these spiritual medicines for what he needs, he still needs to make some preparations.

For example, camouflage and concealing one's breath. Lei Wanhe had already anticipated this and gave him a "human skin mask" made of silk from thousand-year-old spiritual silkworms that he had obtained in his early years, which was equivalent to a top-level magic weapon.

Cultivators below the Jindan stage cannot discover it at all. Even cultivators above the Jindan stage will find it difficult to discover it without careful inspection.

Lei Wanhe also relied on this top-level magical weapon to avoid danger many times and kill powerful enemies under other identities, creating quite a reputation.

In addition, this magic weapon can also conceal the aura of cultivators, and it also requires cultivators above the Jindan stage to detect it.

This is also the top-level magic weapon that Lin Shou cares about the most, and Lei Wanhe also wants him to hide his identity so that he can be safer.

Lin Shou was quite touched by this thought, and naturally he had more approval for Lei Wanhe.

Just like that, after preparing some other things, Lin Shou quietly left the Huangfeng Valley in Taiyue Mountains.

Since Jianzhou is adjacent to Yuanwu State, the place where Lin Shou chose to sell the spiritual medicine was not the market in Huangfeng Valley, but the market in Tianxing Sect of Yuanwu State. It was not safer, but the possibility of exposing his identity was lower.

Although this was Lin Shou's first time coming to the Tianxing Sect market, the talkative Lei Wanhe had already explained everything to him in great detail. He even told him the names of each shop in the market, their locations and what was inside. He was very conscientious and responsible.

Therefore, even though it was his first time stepping into the Tianxing Sect Market, Lin Shou still felt a bit familiar.

Afterwards, Lin Shou went to the first pharmacy, Yunxi Pharmacy, in his first identity and sold two three-hundred-year-old medicinal herbs in exchange for five hundred spirit stones.

Then, he changed his identity in a hidden place and went to the second medicine shop, where he sold a 500-year-old medicinal herb for 1,000 spiritual stones, which made Lin Shou very happy. However, he did not continue to the third medicine shop, but bought a thousand spiritual stones of wood-attributed materials in another shop, and then chose to leave the Tianxing Sect Market. He did not encounter any danger along the way, nor did he encounter any robbery or killing to rob treasures.

However, Lin Shou would naturally not let his guard down.

After returning to the cave, Lin Shou used the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art" to refine all the wood-attributed materials and wood-attributed spirit stones he had purchased.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, he did not break through to the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he still needed two materials or spirit stones of similar quantity.

"Sure enough, the more you practice, the more resources you need. If it weren't for the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art", it would be almost impossible to step into the world of cultivating immortals." After finishing his practice, he sighed a few words.

Lin Shou practiced in the cave for another month before leaving Taiyue Mountains.

This time, he did not go to the Tianxing Sect market, but chose the Huangfeng Valley market. Although it was not as good as the Tianxing Sect market, it still had a Wanbao Tower.

As soon as they entered Wanbao Tower, Lin Shou told the servants that he had a big business to discuss and called them the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou naturally also personally entertained the distinguished guest Lin Shou.

"Daoyou, this is a special tea made in this building. It is not easy to find in other places. It not only smells very fragrant, but also can make the drinker feel energetic. Daoyou Lei, you can taste it first."

In the VIP room of Wanbaolou, the shopkeeper had someone serve fragrant tea and invited everyone.

Seeing this, Lin Shou just said indifferently.

"There's no rush for tea, boss, let's talk business first, shall we?"

"Okay, I wonder what kind of business you want to start?"

Hearing this, although the shopkeeper of Wanbao Tower was just a mortal, he did not show too much fear or awe because Lin Shou was a cultivator.

"I'm selling a magical herb that's a thousand years old. I wonder if the shopkeeper is interested?"

Lin Shou spoke with a look of pride and arrogance on his face.

"What? A thousand-year-old elixir, are you kidding me?"

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou could no longer sit still and blurted out something.

Although he was just a mortal, as the owner of Wanbao Tower, he knew how rare and precious this thousand-year-old elixir was.

"If not, how can it be called a big business? I wonder if the shopkeeper is interested?"

Lin Shou said with a smile.

"Yes, of course there is. However, can we let our master check it to make sure there is no problem?"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Wanbaolou looked a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

"That's naturally no problem."

Lin Shou nodded in agreement, then slapped his storage bag and took out a jade box with a talisman attached to it.
