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

Chapter 19 Breakthrough to the Twelfth Level of Qi Refining Stage
After checking and confirming that the thousand-year-old elixir was correct, the owner of Wanbao Tower looked at Lin Shou with a changed look. It was not out of greed or malice, but it made Lin Shou feel uneasy and felt that the other party had bad intentions.

Rather, it was the burning feeling of seeing the "super rich man" that made Lin Shou feel quite uncomfortable, and he waited for the other party to take the initiative to speak.

"I wonder what you want? Spiritual stones or something else?"

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou naturally saw through Lin Shou's thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he finally couldn't help but open his mouth and ask first.

"Hundreds of years old spiritual wood or wood-attributed materials, of course thousand-year-old spiritual wood is the best."

Lin Shou did not hesitate and stated his purpose directly.

"Thousand-year-old spiritual wood is a rare material for refining weapons. This pavilion does not have it."

"Nothing!"

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou saw a hint of disappointment in Lin Shou's eyes and changed the subject.

"But what?" Lin Shou didn't have much patience for nonsense and asked directly.

"However, this pavilion purchased a wooden crystal bead some time ago."

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou smiled more and more, and spoke.

"Wood crystal beads."

Seeing this, Lin Shou whispered to himself, and the information about "Wood Crystal Beads" came to his mind.

This wood-attributed material is one of the best materials for refining magic weapons and is very valuable.

It often appears in wood-attributed spirit stone veins and is quite rare in material veins. It contains considerable wood-attributed spiritual energy, which is no less than that of a thousand-year-old spirit tree. It is one of the materials that many wood-attributed cultivators in the Jindan stage dream of.

"Okay, I'll exchange this."

After recalling the information about the "wood crystal beads" and making sure there were no problems, he nodded and agreed to the exchange.

"But I still need to take a look first to make sure everything is alright."

When the owner of Wanbaolou was about to nod with a look of joy on his face, Lin Shou added another sentence.

"This is natural, this is natural. Even if you don't tell us, we will bring it to you for inspection."

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou nodded and smiled.

Afterwards, he waved his hand and asked the servant to get the "wood crystal beads", while he chatted with Lin Shou.

But these words were basically meant to pry into Lin Shou's identity information, and Lin Shou just perfunctorily answered them, so that the other party could not find out anything, and became even more wary of Lin Shou's identity.

Not long after, someone from Wanbao Tower brought a tray with a jade box with a talisman attached to it on it.

It was obvious that the "wood crystal beads" that Lin Shou wanted were inside.

The servant respectfully placed the tray on the table in front of Lin Shou and then retreated.

"Fellow Taoist, please take a look."

The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou was even more anxious than Lin Shou, and extended his hand to invite him.

"Thank you."

Seeing this, Lin Shou flicked his hand, and the talisman on the jade box fell off, and then the jade box opened.

Inside was a walnut-sized irregular crystal that looked like jade. The pure wood-attributed spiritual energy it exuded was far superior to that of ordinary mid-level wood-attributed spiritual stones, filling the entire VIP room with a faint, refreshing scent of plants and flowers.

Lin Shou's expression remained unchanged as he reached out and picked up the "wood crystal bead", his eyes flickering as he examined it carefully. The shopkeeper of Wanbaolou beside him was also waiting with a smile on his face, obviously quite confident in the "wood crystal bead" of his own Wanbaolou.

"Not bad, not bad, the quality is really good. Okay, I'll exchange it."

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Shou put the "wood crystal bead" back into the jade box and affixed a talisman to prevent the loss of spiritual energy.

"Okay, thank you very much, fellow Daoist. If you still have thousand-year-old elixirs in the future, please let me know. I will definitely give you treasures that will satisfy you."

Upon hearing Lin Shou's agreement, the owner of Wanbaolou was overjoyed and quickly made the promise.

"Yes! Definitely."

Lin Shou nodded and promised, and at the same time put the jade box containing the "Wood Crystal Beads" into the storage bag.

This made the owner of Wanbaolou even happier, and he personally saw Lin Shou off from Wanbaolou.

As soon as he left Wanbao Tower, Lin Shou left the Huangfeng Valley market and walked around for several circles. After making sure through the perception of the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art" that no one was following him, he returned to his cave with peace of mind.

At this moment, the "Wood Crystal Bead" is enough for him to break through the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage, or even the thirteenth level. In this way, he can start preparing for the foundation building.

Anyway, there are no bottlenecks before the Jindan stage for cultivators with natural spiritual roots. They just need to practice step by step and don’t need to worry about other things.

And with the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art" that can ripen medicinal materials and elixirs, this ability is enough to exchange for enough resources for cultivation.

However, as the realm improves, the consumption of resources is also huge, especially since Lin Shou is still practicing the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art". This consumption is really too huge. Fortunately, he can still bear it now.

But as long as you are strong enough, I believe it is not difficult to obtain resources.

It is said that no one cares about repairing bridges and roads, but killing people and setting fires will earn you a gold belt.

Although Lin Shou would not commit murder or arson, he would have no problem robbing the rich to help the poor and punishing the evil.

Not to mention other things, even in Huangfeng Valley and the seven sects of the entire Yue Kingdom, there are many Qi Refining disciples and Foundation Establishment disciples with bad reputations. Naturally, these people have a lot of good things on them.

As a model young person of the new era, Lin Shou would naturally help him to wash away his sins and transcend them as soon as possible.

Naturally, he would do more of this kind of helpful good thing.

As for danger, there is certainly some, but Lin Shou doesn't care much.

With the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art" and many top-level magic weapons, he is confident that he can escape unscathed even if he encounters a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Besides, this kind of good deed of helping others should naturally be done after the foundation is established, which is much safer.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Shou returned to the cave, he took out the "Wood Crystal Bead" he had harvested this time, and began to practice the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art" to absorb and devour the wood-attributed spiritual energy in it, so as to break through the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage as soon as possible, or even the thirteenth level.

This might actually be possible!

Just like that, after another full month of seclusion, Lin Shou successfully broke through the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage with the help of the "Wood Crystal Bead", but he was still a little short of the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

But its strength has increased a lot. For example, the time it takes to ripen a thousand-year-old elixir with the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" has been reduced by as much as one third.

This is indeed a great event. In this way, Lin Shou will be able to harvest more thousand-year-old elixirs and have more time to practice, so as to break through the foundation-building stage as soon as possible.

Only those in the foundation-building stage can barely gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation.

Even if a Qi Refining cultivator is a disciple with natural spiritual roots, his status in the Huangfeng Valley is not very high. People are more afraid of his potential to become a Jindan cultivator in the future.

Lin Shou knew this very well.
