I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 96 Thank you, sister-in-law (third update, please subscribe!)
Nie Yixiong looked at the jade bottle containing Chongmai Dan in his hand, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

He asked Song Jie to refine the Chongmai Pill, but it was not just for a test.

In addition to his intention of testing, he also needed the Chongmai Pill himself.

“Ten years…

“If Nie is lucky enough to succeed in building his foundation in the future.

"I must take revenge for this!"

Nie Yixiong's words were filled with gnashing hatred, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"Yunmiao City, I will go there again one day."

He could never forget the bloody battle that took place in Yunmiao City ten years ago.

It was also during that bloody battle that he nearly died in Yunmiao City, and his meridians were nearly destroyed.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive the near-death experience and escape back to Black Wind Mountain.

Although he managed to save his life, his meridians were blocked in many places due to the serious injuries he suffered.

As a result, his cultivation progress has been slow over the past ten years.

Otherwise, with Nie Yixiong's talent, he would have already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage.

Perhaps he is already preparing for building the foundation at this time, so why would he sit around fishing in the Black Wind Mountain all day long?

"The facts prove that even if I don't go to Yunmiao City, I can still get this Chongmai Pill."

That year, he fled Yunmiao City with serious injuries and hid in a sparsely populated dense forest to recover from his injuries.

He returned to Black Wind Mountain and began to secretly seek for Chongmai Pill.

I went to several markets near Black Wind Mountain and also visited several black markets, but I couldn't find any place that sold Chongmai Dan.

The only places he knew where he could buy Chongmai Dan were Yunmiao City and Danding Sect.

As a famous and upright sect, Danding Sect naturally would not sell elixirs to a Tribulation Cultivator like him. They would not even sell him a Rejuvenation Pill or a Soul-Restoring Pill.

And in Yunmiao City, he has enemies.

That enemy was still at the Foundation Establishment stage. Nie Yixiong was afraid that if he went to Yunmiao City, he would not be able to come back alive.

As for asking his men to go to Yunmiao City to buy Chongmai Pills, that was even more impossible.

Nie Yixiong has never told anyone about the blockage in his meridians.

Even his stupid dead brother was totally unaware of this.

Blockage in the meridians will not only slow down the progress of cultivation, but will also make it almost impossible to build a foundation.

Even when casting spells and performing physical exercises, the circulation of spiritual energy would be very unsmooth, which would greatly reduce the power of the spells and physical exercises.

This is also the main reason why Nie Yixiong has hardly left Black Wind Mountain in recent years and goes fishing when he has nothing to do.

He wants to hide the fact that his strength is not as good as before...

If the cultivators of Black Wind Mountain knew his true situation.

I'm afraid that several of the more advanced cultivators will soon plot an assassination against me.

This is the world of Jie Xiu.

If the people under you think you are no longer capable, they will replace you without mercy.

So even though the Chongmai Pill had not been found in ten years, Nie Yixiong did not let his men go to Yunmiao City to buy the pill.

Perhaps Chongmai Pills are sold in cities and markets farther away than Yunmiao City.

But to travel to more distant cities and markets, one must pass through some dangerous places.

Those dangerous places are not places that he can set foot in since his strength is not as great as before.

So Nie Yixiong could only try his luck in various markets and black markets every once in a while.

See if you can see the Chongmai Dan flowing out of Yunmiao City.

Unfortunately, his luck was not very good and he never got what he wanted.

Because of the rarity and special functions of Chongmai Dan, even if it occasionally flows out of Yunmiao City, it will be quickly sold out.

Fortunately, Nie Yixiong did not gain nothing during these ten years.

Three years ago, he accidentally obtained the recipe for Chongmai Dan on the black market.

Since then, he has been looking for a suitable alchemist to refine the Chongmai Pill.

But failed again and again.

The difficulty of refining Chongmai Dan was far beyond his imagination.

Ordinary wild alchemists have average alchemy skills and it is difficult for them to successfully refine Chongmai Pills.

In order to prevent his secrets from being revealed, Nie Yixiong has killed several alchemists who failed to refine the elixir in the past three years.

Finally, the emperor pays off.

Because of his brother's death, he saw a glimmer of hope in Song Jie.

And Song Jie's performance did not disappoint him, and he successfully refined the elixir he had always dreamed of.

Holding the jade bottle containing Chongmai Dan in his hand, Nie Yixiong kept breathing in and out.

Calm down your somewhat excited emotions and let your mind slowly stabilize.

After a while, Nie Yixiong's breathing became steady and long.

There was no more hesitation.

Open the stopper of the jade bottle and pour the Chongmai Dan directly into your mouth.

Soon, the Chongmai Pill turned into a rushing warm current and entered his body.

Nie Yixiong immediately sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and began to practice the skills he had practiced, guiding the warm current to impact the blocked meridians.

Half an hour later.

The moment Nie Yixiong opened his eyes again, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body.

After feeling it silently for a moment, Nie Yixiong slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"This Chongmai Pill is indeed effective. Ten percent of the blocked meridians in the body have been cleared.

"If I had ten more first-grade Chongmai Pills, I would be able to clear all the blocked meridians."

In fact, if he had nine more Chongmai Pills, he would be able to unblock almost all the blocked meridians in his body.

In order to ensure that everything goes well, Nie Yixiong felt that it would be safer to take ten more pills.

“It seems that I need to find another opportunity to visit Master Song Dan.

“But what reason can I find to visit him?

"What reason should I give him to continue to help me refine Chongmai Pills?"

Thinking of these questions, Nie Yixiong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

……

The moon sets and the sun rises.

In a blink of an eye, it's a new day.

As usual, Song Jie ended his night of practice when the sun just rose.

After getting up, washing up, and having a simple breakfast.

Then he went to the yard and began to practice spells and body movements.

Half an hour later, after finishing practicing spells and body movements, Song Jie returned to the room.

He sat cross-legged in meditation, practicing Changchun Gong to recover the spiritual energy he had just consumed.

After many days, he is finally going to set up his stall again.

Although the life-and-death crisis has now been resolved, Song Jie still continues to follow his own heart.

You must be in full spiritual power before you can go out.

This is a belief that absolutely cannot be shaken!
Time is ticking by.

When Song Jie felt that the spiritual power in his body had been replenished again, he immediately exited the state of cultivation.

After sensing it silently for a moment, he nodded slightly, a satisfied look on his face. "Whether it was the training last night or the recovery of spiritual power just now, the efficiency has improved compared to before.

"Also, when I practiced spells and body movements in the morning, the flow of spiritual energy in my meridians became smoother."

Last night, Song Jie took a low-quality Chongmai Pill to expand the meridians in his body.

The effect is quite significant, just as he feels now.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to wait a while before taking the second Chongmai Pill."

Song Jie was worried that his meridians would not be able to withstand taking Chongmai Dan continuously in a short period of time.

Therefore, he was not overwhelmed by the immediate effects and immediately took the second Chongmai Pill.

I plan to give my meridians some buffer time to adapt to the new changes.

After walking out of the room, Song Jie went straight to the kitchen and put the pills to be sold into the medicine box one by one.

During this period, in terms of aphrodisiac pills, he refined a total of eight bottles of Budao Pills, six bottles of Yuanyang Pills, and twenty-one bottles of Vajra Dragon and Tiger Pills.

As for recovery pills, he refined four bottles of inferior rejuvenation pills, one bottle of medium-quality rejuvenation pills, and nine bottles of inferior soul-restoring pills.

Among them, Song Jie used up four bottles of the nine bottles of Fuling Pills while refining the elixir, leaving five bottles.

While putting the Fu Ling Pills into the medicine box, Song Jie took out the bottle of inferior quality Fu Ling Pills that he had refined before.

He exchanged it with one of the remaining five bottles of Fuling Pills, intending to sell it when he set up the stall this time.

Song Jie always carries two bottles of low-quality rejuvenation pills and two bottles of low-quality soul-restoring pills with him in case of emergency.

After putting all the pills to be sold at the stall into the medicine box.

Song Jie also brought his personal signboard, small stool, and the black iron sword.

"Today is also a day of great wealth~"

After shouting a slogan as usual, Song Jie went out with a smile on his face.

……

Familiar with the route, Song Jie quickly arrived at the stall.

"Brother Song, you are finally willing to set up a stall.

"In the past two or three days, your customers have been asking you when you will open your stall."

If I didn’t hear the sounds of practicing magic and body movements in Song Jie’s yard every day.

Li Caiwei began to wonder if Song Jie had encountered some accident, which was why he hadn't come to set up his stall for so many days.

You know, the time intervals between Song Jie's stalls have always been relatively regular.

Unless there are special circumstances, the interval will generally not exceed seven days.

But this time, it took ten days before he set up the stall.

It is indeed a bit abnormal.

While tidying up his stall, Song Jie replied with a smile: “I suddenly had some insights while refining the elixir a few days ago.

“I seemed to have caught something from somewhere, and felt that my alchemy skills might have shown signs of a breakthrough.

“So I spent a few more days refining pills at home, looking for that slight opportunity for a breakthrough.”

Of course, it was impossible for him to say that he had not set up the stall because of Nie Yixiong's matter.

So before going out, I thought of a reasonable explanation.

After all, I haven't set up a stall for so many days, so someone must be asking me this question.

Even if Li Caiwei didn't ask, his customers would probably bring it up casually.

When Li Caiwei heard Song Jie's explanation, her eyes immediately lit up.

I couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Song, have you made any breakthroughs in the past few days?"

“Thanks to my sister-in-law, I was lucky enough to break through.

"My luck was pretty good this time. I refined two bottles of first-grade inferior elixirs, one each of Rejuvenation Pill and Soul Restoration Pill."

At the end, a smug look appeared on Song Jie's face.

Upon hearing this, Li Caiwei showed a hint of joy on her face, and was sincerely happy for Song Jie's breakthrough.

"Congratulations, Brother Song. Your alchemy skills have improved further."

"Hahaha, thank you, sister-in-law~"

After Song Jie thanked him, he casually asked, "Sister-in-law, how is the business of your stall these days?"

"Not bad. I sold a weapon not long after I opened the stall this morning."

After several months of meticulous management, Li Caiwei's Xinyue Xuanbingxing's reputation has been recognized by more and more cultivators.

Almost every day there are monks who come here specifically for this sign.

Li Caiwei had just mentioned that she had sold a weapon when she saw Song Jie take out a long black iron sword and place it on the stall.

"Hey... Brother Song, are you going to sell this sword?"

Song Jie smiled slightly and said, "That's right, sister-in-law, can you help me estimate the price? How many spirit stones do you think this sword can be sold for?"

Li Caiwei just glanced at it a few times and didn't even need to hold it in her hand to examine it. She had already decided on a price for the black iron sword in her mind.

“The workmanship of this black iron sword is OK, but it has not been well maintained.

“It might have been sold for forty spirit stones originally, but now it can only be sold for thirty-five spirit stones at most.

"If I meet someone who knows the business, I can probably sell it for thirty spirit stones."

At this point, Li Caiwei asked with a smile, "Where did you get this sword, Brother Song?

"From my impression, Brother Song doesn't seem to be good at using a sword."

Song Jie laughed loudly and said without any guilt: "I picked it up from the Shiwanda Mountains."

"Brother Song, have you been to the Shiwan Mountains recently?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Caiwei's eyes.

Song Jie nodded.

“I’ve been researching a new elixir lately, and I need a special herb.

“I searched all the herbal medicine stores in the market, but none of them sold it.

“I heard from the owner of the herbal medicine store that the herbs I need might be found in the Shiwanda Mountains.

"So, I went to Shiwan Mountain two days ago, and I picked up this sword there."

Li Caiwei had no doubt about Song Jie's explanation.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Shiwandashan Mountains.

Some monks who went to the Ten Thousand Mountains to search for treasures were accidentally attacked by monsters and died in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Then the items they carry will become ownerless.

Li Caiwei guessed that the black iron sword picked up by Song Jie was probably the relic of some unlucky monk.

In fact, those monks who go into the mountains to look for treasures, in addition to looking for natural treasures, also want to look for treasures left behind by others.

The identities of treasure hunters and the treasure hunted are not fixed. No one can predict whether they will become the treasure hunted at some point.

Li Caiwei glanced at the long sword that Song Jie placed on the stall, covered her mouth and chuckled, "It seems that Brother Song's luck is really good.

"This can be considered as treasure hunting in the mountains."

Upon hearing this, Song Jie suddenly sighed.

"I'm not lucky, I'm just extremely unlucky."

"Ah?" Li Caiwei asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Song Jie pretended to be bitter and said, "Not long after I picked up this black iron sword, I was targeted by a robbery cultivator.

"Don't you think this is extremely unlucky..."

Hearing this, Li Caiwei hurriedly asked with concern: "What happened next? How did Brother Song escape from that robber cultivator?"

"I have to thank my sister-in-law for giving me the silver-scale soft armor."
