The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 13 Hongxia Market
For several days in a row, Chen Jinshu was refining the Qigong Pill in the refining room.

During this period, apart from daily regular practice, most of the time was spent on alchemy.

The spiritual energy consumed in refining the Qigong Pill is the least among all the pills. With the spiritual energy reserves in her dantian, she can refine five batches a day.

Every day she would practice until the spiritual power in her dantian was exhausted, and then she would swallow the Lingyuan Pill to restore her spiritual energy.

After repeating this process, his cultivation level was quietly increasing, and he gradually became proficient in refining the Qigong Pill.

So far, nearly thirty furnaces have been refined.

From the tenth time onwards, she was able to skillfully refine the golden rice medicine liquid, and then she successfully refined the spiritual flowers and grass fruits after several failures.

However, during the subsequent fusion, there were several mistakes in the impurity removal step, which resulted in the complete failure of the medicine liquid and they had to start all over again.

This furnace is the 30th one at this time. The previous ones have been able to produce pills, but they are all inferior pills or waste pills with a lot of impurities.

"Concentrate!" Chen Jinshu bit her lip slightly, and the hand gestures for concentrating the pill changed rapidly in front of her body. A green light bloomed on her hand, like a lotus that changed at will.

The four balls of turquoise medicinal liquid in the furnace rotated rapidly, and then were condensed and compressed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She had practiced this hand gesture countless times and had become extremely proficient in it.

If the steps of alchemy were not complicated and the tempering of each elixir was not different, she would have been able to make the elixir long ago.

"Boom!" The alchemy furnace made a deep muffled sound, and a faint fragrance emanated from the furnace, looking like a wisp of green smoke, lingering above the alchemy furnace.

"The pill is finally made!"

Seeing this, Chen Jinshu's eyes were filled with surprise, his heart was pounding, and he raised his thin lips slightly as he gently wiped away the sweat from his forehead.

As long as you successfully refine a pill, you will become a first-level low-grade alchemist.

The previous times the pills were condensed, they also emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, but the fragrance of the pill in front of him was much stronger.

She quickly lowered the temperature of the charcoal fire at the bottom of the furnace, then opened the furnace with her backhand, and saw four pills lying in the center of the furnace.

Three of them are reddish brown with a full luster, obviously reaching the medium-low quality, and are considered to be top-quality among the lower quality.

There was only one that had an accident while condensing the pill, and it was completely black, a complete waste pill.

She raised her hand and quickly put away the three fasting pills.

If the furnace is full, there can be nine pills in one furnace. She now controls four balls of medicinal liquid and finally makes three pills, which is a good result for a novice alchemist.

She didn't plan to take or sell these three pills, but kept them as souvenirs.

"It's been over a month since I came to Vulture Peak. I spent seven days trying to refine the elixir. Finally, I became a first-rank, lower-grade alchemist."

In her mind, the current results were not impressive, but could only be considered gradual progress.

Moreover, she was able to make the pill so quickly thanks to the Xuanpin Treasure Furnace's stable medicinal properties, otherwise she didn't know how many times the furnace would have exploded.

She had read about cultivating immortals and knew that a gifted alchemist could prepare the elixir in two days and make it in three.

She prepared for a month and made the elixir in seven days, which is not that great.

"Take the remaining three Spiritual Yuan Pills! I'm almost at the third level of Qi training."

Then she took out a Lingyuan Pill and swallowed it to quickly recover her spiritual power.

……

January passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Jinshu is trying to break through the bottleneck of the third level of Qi training in the room.

The first three levels of Qi training were relatively easy to break through. Her three spiritual roots were purified by the lotus birthmark, so her speed was much faster than before. However, when she reached the fourth level of Qi training, there was a small bottleneck, and it would be difficult to break through without one or two years.

The next seven levels of Qi training are another bottleneck.

She swallowed the last Lingyuan Pill and quickly practiced the "Eternal Youth Secret".

In just a moment, the Lingyuan Pill turned into tremendous spiritual power and was absorbed by the lotus petal birthmark on the forehead.

When the lotus petal birthmark fed back the first ray of pure green spiritual power, she quickly absorbed it, guiding it to flow through the twelve meridians, and finally gathering it in her dantian.

This counts as one cycle.

After thirty-six cycles, when the Lingyuan Pill was completely refined, Chen Jinshu's dantian was already full of spiritual power, and a green glow continued.

These green spiritual powers were extremely pure and did not require any time to be condensed again, which saved her a lot of time.

She exerted all her strength and practiced the skills as hard as she could, and the powerful spiritual power in her dantian quickly rushed towards the bottleneck of the third level.

An hour later, with a "boom" sound of bottleneck impact coming from her dantian, her dantian expanded rapidly.

At the same time, a large amount of spiritual power surged from the surroundings, and the meridians in her body were also strengthened by the spiritual power.

Soon, a faint pressure from the third level of Qi training emanated from her body, and her whole body was immersed in green light.

"Huh! I finally reached the third level of Qi training."

I have been in Lingjiu Mountain for two months. The first month was used to consolidate my originally unstable cultivation and eliminate the remaining poison in my body. The second month was used to fully practice and improve my skills.

Only in this way could she raise her cultivation to the third level within two months. At this moment, she felt that her whole body was filled with endless energy.

She felt that based on the current spiritual power reserves in her dantian, she should be able to refine eight or nine batches of fasting pills.

Perform the Spirit Rain Technique about ten times.

"I didn't expect that after a month of removing impurities and toxins, there would still be so much left in my body."

Her arms and cheeks were covered with black, smelly dirt.

It was the erysipelas and other toxins from grains that accumulated in her body.

Before she established her foundation, she could not practice complete fasting. Taking fasting pills could indeed maintain food and clothing for three or four days, but it was not conducive to physical development and would also leave residual poison.

So she would go to the spiritual food hall on Vulture Peak every once in a while to exchange for a spiritual meal to provide the nutrients her body needed.

"It's time to stimulate the elixir!"

Chen Jinshu came to the three-acre spiritual field in the space with a thought. He saw that the three acres of spiritual fields in front of him were full of extremely lush spiritual medicines.

The fastest growing of them is the magnolia, which will mature in about a month. The purple stamen flower will still need two months. The golden flower rice is now about ten inches tall, growing faster than the half acre planted on Lingjiu Mountain.

According to the theory that it harvests once a year outside, it can harvest once every ten months after being induced to grow, so it only takes about five months in the spiritual plant space.

Because the spiritual field in the spiritual plant space also has the function of gathering spiritual energy.

She quickly pinched her fingers and cast the Spirit Rain Technique on the spiritual field. After the soil was completely soaked, she cast the Wood Spirit Technique to induce growth.

I don't know if it's because her spiritual power, after being purified by the lotus petal birthmark, has been contaminated by the wood vitality of the lotus petals, these spiritual plants she has nurtured are thicker and greener than those in normal years.

A moment later, she appeared at the Lingjiu Mountain Spiritual Field again, performing the same operation.

An hour later, she walked out of the formation with a tired look on her face, and gently waved the plum rain fan in her hand, causing the white veil on her face to flutter slightly.

A large number of plum petals fell, and the fragrance of plum blossoms filled the air.

"Jinshu girl? Have you achieved a breakthrough?"

Chen Yongan, an old man who was busy at the spiritual field, felt Chen Jinshu's current cultivation aura and asked.

"Yes! I have been accumulating it for many years at the second level of Qi training. I broke through during this period of seclusion." Chen Jinshu smiled slightly.

"In a few days, the elders will bring a number of spiritual farmers to the Hongxia Market to make purchases. Do you want to go?"

"Elder, are you going to Hongxia Market?" Chen Jinshu's face lit up with joy after hearing this.

"Lingjiu Mountain will go to Hongxia Market every once in a while to make purchases. With an elder leading the team, everyone will feel more at ease."

"Thank you, Uncle Yong'an, for telling me. Since the elder is leading the team, I will naturally go." Chen Jinshu thanked him lightly.

"If you go, could you please buy me some spiritual seeds on the way? And spiritual fertilizer..."

"Of course you can."

After Chen Jinshu took the spirit stone from Uncle Yong'an, he turned and walked towards the management office.

Although Hongxiafang City is only more than 200 miles away from Lingjiu Mountain, it is inevitable to encounter various wandering cultivators along the way, and it is extremely dangerous.

She stayed in the family all year round, and apart from asking people to buy elixirs from the market, she was seriously lacking in combat experience.

She had originally planned to break through the third level and then go to the peak of Lingjiu Mountain to find some monsters to fight with in order to hone her combat skills.

After a month, when the magnolia flowers in the space are ripe, we will plan to go to the market.

She didn't expect that her third uncle would lead the team this time. This would save her a lot of time and her trip would be more secure.

Now that she had used up all the elixirs for her practice and the materials for refining the fasting pills, she might as well take this opportunity to go to the market and get everything she needed.

By the way, take a look at the market price of fasting pills so that I can adjust my future alchemy plans.

A moment later, she went to the steward's office and found her third uncle Chen Huaiyang, telling him that he wanted to go to Hongxiafang Market and take her with him.

Chen Huaiyang naturally had no objection and told her to gather at the office at noon three days later.

After returning to Plum Blossom Courtyard, Chen Jinshu immediately practiced the Spring Thunder Technique and the Spirit Vine Technique in the courtyard.

I have already mastered these two techniques, but have never put them into practice. I don’t know what I will encounter when I go to the market this time. The more powerful they are, the more at ease I will feel.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was noon three days later.

Chen Jinshu packed up, put on Mu Li, and then walked towards the management office.

When she arrived at the management office, Chen Huaiyang and others had already gathered there.

Then she followed in the footsteps of several people and boarded the spirit boat to head towards Hongxiafang Market.

It’s more than two hundred miles away, and it only takes an hour to get there by spirit boat.
