From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

Chapter 23: The Fourth Level of Qi Training
Wait for an hour.

Wang Yu's fingers twitched once or twice, and some alchemy experience and feelings appeared in his mind, as if he had opened the furnace and refined it himself once, but failed.

This feeling was different from all the previous ones, because he had never had any foundation in alchemy, and the experience he got from directly starting out was very poor, and he seemed to be tending towards being an intuitive player.

“So this is how it feels…”

Wang Yu muttered to himself and didn't care about it anymore. He decided to read more books on pharmacology and medicinal properties every day, and he would be able to make up for the basic deficiencies sooner or later.

The mission process has reached the second half, with only two months left. The spiritual power in Wang Yu's body has almost condensed, and the last three spiritual powers have not yet been unified.

The final breakthrough time was about the same as previously expected.

The room where Tan Taichan was in seclusion became noisier day by day. The temperature near the house was getting higher and higher, and there was a scent of elixir in the air.

The days in the medicine garden were very peaceful, and no one was so blind as to dare to cause trouble.

In this way, Wang Yu spent the most peaceful period of his life.

When the time came to the 189th day.

Wang Yu was sitting cross-legged in meditation. The air around him twisted and spiritual energy gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye. A "pop" sound seemed to be heard in the silence.

His breath leapt over a level, and his bones creaked, as if he had undergone a secondary development and completed a small transformation.

The area between the eyebrows was itchy and unbearable, as if invisible tentacles had finally broken through the limitations of the flesh and were able to sense the outside world.

This is the characteristic of the spirit leaving the body. Within a radius of ten feet with the body as the center, every detail is clearly visible, and is not much different from what is seen with the naked eye.

The fourth level of Qi training has been achieved!
Hundreds of strands of spiritual power transformed into ten more condensed spiritual powers. They were so thick that they already had a mist-like feel. Although the number was small, it could crush his previous self.

The most important thing is that Ice Sword and Ice Shield are both mid-grade spells, which means that Wang Yu can finally fully unleash the power of the two spells and his combat power will skyrocket.

The aging of the skin caused by the rapid loss of lifespan was also restored with the breakthrough, and there was no longer any old look as before.

Most of his hair is still white, with only a little black at the roots. It will probably take a breakthrough in the foundation-building phase for it to turn completely black.

Wang Yu was very excited.

After all, with useless spiritual roots, it often takes a lifetime to reach the middle stage of Qi training.

He is only seventeen years old this year and has plenty of time to practice. Placing the bar is the first step!
Calming his mind, Wang Yu tried to activate the Night Hiding Spell.

The breath instantly returned to the third level of Qi training without any flaws. The qualitative change of spiritual power caused its effectiveness time to be greatly increased, and it could be used for three incense sticks.

The fourth level of Qi training continues to the stage of accumulating spiritual power.

By accumulating from ten to three hundred, one can break through to the fifth level of Qi training.

According to the order of ten strands merging into one, that is 2900 strands of spiritual power. The difficulty of cultivation increases by more than several times. According to the efficiency of the placement column, if only one technique is placed, it will take two days to feedback one strand of spiritual power.

It would take 5800 days, or more than sixteen years, to complete the accumulation of spiritual power and achieve a breakthrough. This number made Wang Yu's scalp tingle.

The disadvantages of qualifications are becoming more and more obvious. One placement bar is not enough. It will take more than eight years to reach both placement bars. Improving qualifications is urgent.

The "Cold Blood Art" does have a subtle effect in this regard, but it will only manifest itself after the practice is perfected.

"By the way, the placement bar may change as your cultivation level breaks through to the middle stage of Qi training..."

Wang Yu was just about to unfold it and take a look when he suddenly sensed the presence of Tan Tai Chan appearing in Chuan Feng Hall. He quickly activated the Night Hidden Spell and went to greet her.

Compared to the agreed six months, she was a few days late. When they met again, after Tan Taichan checked the situation in the medicine garden, she released her aura to summon Wang Yu. Seeing his handsome appearance, Tan Taichan frowned.

"Wang Yu?"

"It's me, meeting Senior Tan Tai."

"Your appearance..."

Wang Yu had already planned this. Feeling the foundation-building consciousness sweeping over his body, he cursed in his heart but remained calm.

"Wang Yu was born a spirit slave, and his life span was seriously lost, which is why he aged prematurely. Fortunately, Su Zhen promoted him and he was lucky enough to be promoted to the outer sect. In the past six months, he has taken good care of himself and taken a lot of elixirs to replenish qi and blood, and he has finally recovered."

Tan Taichan ignored all the explanations and only heard a few words——【Su Zhenchuan values ​​it! 】

Yes, there are very few examples of spiritual slaves being promoted to the outer sect, and there must be other reasons for the special promotion. Tan Taichan gave up the idea of ​​withholding his remuneration, and his cold face suddenly became much kinder.

"But I've never heard you mention your relationship with Su Zhenchuan."

"Since Senior Tan Tai didn't ask, Wang Yu naturally didn't dare to say more."

"That's fine."

He took out the deacon token and tapped it lightly on Wang Yu's black blood waist badge, and two hundred contribution points were credited to his account, and the three hundred belonging to the Ice and Snow Tower had been deducted.

"Thank you, Senior Tan Tai." Wang Yu bowed and said, "I would like to purchase two plants of 'Nine-leaf Ice Grass' from the herb garden. I wonder if you are willing to sell them."

Tan Taichan agreed after just a moment's thought.

"But, if you are collecting spiritual herbs for alchemy, you can come to me after you have collected them. With my rank as a second-level intermediate alchemist, I am more than capable of helping you."

Wang Yu had no choice but to thank him again. After breaking through his realm, he roughly calculated the time required to break through the fifth level of Qi training. Elixirs such as the Cold Blood Pill that could assist in cultivation also became very important.

He would not trust others to refine the things that would go into his stomach, which was one of the reasons why he insisted on learning alchemy!

The environment in the magic world is too harsh, and we must be extremely vigilant.

Rubbing his hands, Wang Yu looked uneasy.

"Then I wonder...how much is the price?"

Tan Tai Chan was silent for a moment.

"Two stalks of Frost Nine-Leaf Grass. Since they are quite rare, the exchange price in the sect's treasury is 120 contribution points. How about I charge you 100 spirit stones for each stalk?"

The default value of spirit stones is half a chip lower than contribution points, but this price is very cost-effective, not to mention that it is the main ingredient of the Cold Blood Pill. The price of auxiliary medicines will be even lower. Wang Yu nodded repeatedly.

It just so happened that he had made a windfall half a year ago, but he had never spent it except on eating. The spirit stones that Wang Yu gave him were mixed with eighty kilograms of spirit sand, which was very shabby.

After getting what you want, seal it in a jade box.

The preservation of elixirs is also a technical job. Jade sealing is the most common and cheapest one. Slightly higher-end ones use talisman sealing, and there are also different techniques such as tripod sealing, stone sealing, wax sealing, etc.

Some old alchemists have unique skills. Any branch of knowledge in the cultivation world has existed for endless years, and the content derived from it is so much that it is impossible to learn it all in a lifetime.

Therefore, monks often only specialize in one or two skills as a minor.

But as the realm gradually improves, the scope of knowledge will become wider, and it is normal for a Nascent Soul cultivator to be proficient in the four arts of the first or second level.
