[Skill points: 94 points (can be used to improve the proficiency of skills, spells, body movements, magical powers, and techniques)]

During this period, Song Jie improved his proficiency by a total of 63 points, which equals 63 skill points.

Looking at the attribute panel appearing in front of him, Song Jie pondered in his heart.

“I now have a total of ninety-four skill points. According to the original plan, these skill points are to be used to improve the proficiency of the Rejuvenation Pill.

"For now, I will take a break and see if there is any way to improve my ability to protect myself and escape in a short period of time."

Song Jie first turned his attention to the three columns of martial arts, magic, and body movements.

“If I want to improve my self-protection ability, the easiest way is to improve my cultivation level, but my current cultivation level is still far from a breakthrough.

“The next stage of Changchun Kung Fu is still a long way from being proficient, so I can get through this one first.

“If the One Finger Zen and Dragon Claw Hand can be improved to the next level of proficiency, there should be a big breakthrough.

“But these two are just like Changchun Kung Fu, the proficiency level is so different that there is no need to consider them at all.

“The current skill points can raise the proficiency of Ten Thousand Swords to the next level, but the proficiency level is too low to be of much use.

"As for the Azure Nether Fire, there is no need to consider it, as it cannot be used in combat.

“As for the Phantom Step, if one can improve his proficiency to the next level, it can greatly enhance one’s ability to survive and escape.

"Unfortunately, I only have 94 skill points. To advance the Phantom Step to the next level, I need at least 192 proficiency points."

Song Jie shook his head, sighed with a hint of regret, and then turned his attention to the skills column.

“It seems that the final hope still lies in the elixir.

“The pills I have now, the Rejuvenation Pill and the Soul-Restoring Pill, are recovery pills that can provide some life-saving ability, but they are very limited.

“As for the Bigu Pill and the Vajra Dragon and Tiger Pill, just ignore them.

“For now, the only way to improve my ability to save my life is to develop elixirs with special effects.

"What kind of elixir should we develop?"

Song Jie kept rubbing the stubble on his chin with one hand, thinking in his mind what kind of elixir he should develop to give himself a chance of survival when the enemy attacks.

He doesn't need to rely directly on elixirs to kill the enemy, which is obviously unrealistic.

“The neighborhood where I live now is close to the center. If an enemy attacks, I don’t need to rely on myself to repel the enemy.

"We just need to make as much noise as possible, and then hold out until the monks from the three major families come to rescue us.

“Besides, Big Brother Shi lives next door. If he finds out that I’m being attacked, he will definitely not stand idly by.

"With his cultivation level at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and the fact that he is also a first-class weapon refiner, he must have a suitable first-grade spiritual weapon made for him.

"A cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining who possesses a first-grade spiritual weapon can definitely deal with a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining who does not have a spiritual weapon.

"With the combined efforts of the two of us, as long as Nie Yixiong doesn't come in person, we can hold out until the cultivators from the three major families come to rescue." There was another helper that Song Jie did not take into account, and that was Li Caiwei.

Half a month ago, Li Caiwei had just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining Stage, and her strength had also been greatly improved.

However, Li Caiwei is pregnant now, and Song Jie doesn't want Li Caiwei to get involved.

So he did not consider Li Caiwei as a helping hand.

"With the help of Brother Shi, I don't have to hold on alone until the monks from the three major families come to rescue me.

"You just need to withstand the first wave of attacks from the enemy at the beginning and hold out until Brother Shi arrives.

"If the enemy is not well prepared, they will most likely be killed by me and Brother Shi, and there is no need to wait for the cultivators from the three major families to come to the rescue."

Thinking of this, Song Jie's thoughts began to become clearer.

"So what I need now is a pill that can temporarily increase my strength, or a pill that can weaken the enemy's strength."

Song Jie suddenly remembered that in the previous popular medicine competition, it seemed that a first-level alchemist had refined a first-grade elixir called "Poison Cloud Pill".

If he remembered correctly, the first-level alchemist seemed to be named Zhuge, but he didn't pay attention to his specific name.

"The Poison Cloud Pill is indeed a pill that can weaken the enemy's strength. You can go to that Zhuge Alchemist to buy some for backup."

If the other party is willing to sell the recipe for the Poison Cloud Pill, Song Jie doesn't mind spending a few more spirit stones to buy the recipe.

But this possibility is estimated to be low. When it comes to the level of first-grade elixir, the preciousness of the elixir formula increases sharply.

Unless they have a very close relationship, generally no alchemist would be willing to sell the recipe for a first-grade elixir to a colleague, as this behavior is equivalent to giving benefits to a competitor.

"As for the pills that can improve my strength..."

Song Jie remembered that there were two kinds of first-grade elixirs sold in Baodan Building that could temporarily increase the strength of cultivators, namely the Power-Storing Pill and the Barrier-Breaking Pill.

The power pill can temporarily increase the strength of a cultivator. The specific amount of increase depends on the cultivator's cultivation level and the quality of the pill.

The Barrier Breaking Pill is a first-grade elixir that can improve the level of cultivation. Of course, the improvement is only temporary and will become ineffective after a period of time, and you will enter a period of spiritual power vacuum.

The Barrier Breaking Pill stimulates the spiritual power in the cultivator's body, allowing the cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage to temporarily break through the barrier of cultivation and improve his cultivation level.

How much one's cultivation level can be improved is also related to the cultivator's cultivation realm and the quality of the elixir.

“You can also go buy some power-accumulating pills and barrier-breaking pills.

“In addition to these first-grade elixirs I purchased, I also want to develop an elixir that can weaken the enemy’s strength.

“And it must be a first-grade elixir. If it is a low-grade elixir, it can only be effective for low-level Qi Refining cultivators at best.

"When it comes to mid- to high-level Qi Refining cultivators, the effect will be greatly reduced, or even negligible."

Song Jie frowned and thought, recalling the various elixirs he had made when he was an alchemy blogger before he traveled through time.

Although those pills are not of the highest grade, they are just ordinary pills in the eyes of cultivators.

But Song Jie felt that he could try to use those Fandan’s formulas as a basis and combine them with his own understanding of the medicinal properties.

Replace those ordinary medicinal materials with spiritual plants, crystal minerals, monster blood and flesh, etc. that are rich in spirituality.

In this way, it might be possible to refine a first-grade elixir, and it would be a first-grade elixir that he created alone.

Most alchemists who cannot buy first-grade pill recipes also rely on their own understanding of the medicinal properties.

He combined various spiritual plants, crystal minerals, and the flesh and blood of monsters, and tried to create his own recipe for a first-grade elixir.

Of course, this method is equivalent to exploring from scratch, and it is inevitable to experience countless failures before success.

Song Jie's foundation was based on the elixirs he had refined before the time travel, so it wasn't like he was starting from scratch.

Soon, Song Jie found an elixir from the elixirs he had refined before that could weaken the enemy's strength.
