My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Inside the secret chamber of the spiritual spring,

Shen Changchuan looked at the panel in front of him, his face showing joy.

Heaven rewards those who persevere.
Two months of effort,

This greatly improved his abilities.

First, his cultivation level was raised to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The magical power within his body more than doubled!
at the same time,

He learned four new spells, and mastered two of them to perfection.

Golden Bell Technique completes the defense, while Earthshaking Technique completes the control and area-of-effect attacks.

These were all specially selected by Shen Changchuan to address his own shortcomings.

As a result,
With his mastery of eight perfect-level spells, Shen Changchuan is now, if not a fully-rounded warrior.

That means at least we have some means of dealing with these issues in various aspects.

Compared to two months ago, their strength is now...
It can be said that there has been a tremendous improvement!

At least without using the ritual implements,

He alone now could easily take on at least the previous three!
Thinking of the ritual implements,

Shen Changchuan glanced at the magic weapon section of the panel.

During this time, he figured out one thing: if he put the magical artifact in his hand into his storage bag, then that magical artifact would disappear from the magical artifact inventory.

Therefore, the panel currently does not display the dagger or the other near-low-tier longsword magic weapon from Shen Changchuan's spoils of war.
What exactly is the principle behind this?
Shen Changchuan couldn't figure it out either.

I simply stopped thinking about it.

In contrast,

Improving one's own level of strength is more important.

"Taking pills really does improve your strength quickly; no wonder pills are so expensive."

"The thirteen Qi-Nourishing Pills played a significant role in enabling me to reach this point within two months!"

Yes,

Shen Changchuan consumed all thirteen Qi-Nourishing Pills from the spoils he obtained from the Four Fiends of Heshan to aid his cultivation.

Shen Changchuan naturally recalled the plot points from the cultivation novels he had read in his previous life, such as the possibility that the pills left behind by enemies might contain poison or other hidden traps.

But after a brief moment of thought, he dismissed the possibility.

how to say?

Alchemy is not like cooking.

You can add any seasonings you like.

The formation of each pill requires the harmonious integration of various medicinal properties, spiritual energy, and even attributes of the herbs. The slightest carelessness during the pill-forming process can cause the furnace to explode and turn the pill into charcoal.

Even if a pill is fully formed, if it is contaminated by external factors that disrupt its internal medicinal circulation, its medicinal power will dissipate rapidly, rendering it a useless pill.

Adding ingredients to elixirs without damaging them is a method.
This can almost be said to have broken through the fundamental logic of alchemy.

I'm afraid only legendary alchemy masters could do that!
Grandmaster of Alchemy
That's an existence on par with a Xuan Dan True Person.

If the Four Fiends of Heshan truly possess such abilities, then it's possible they could obtain such elixirs.

Shen Changchuan accepted that.

He'll accept his fate if he dies!
However, it seems now...

The Four Fiends of Heshan clearly did not possess such abilities.

"It's a pity that all the Qi Nourishing Pills have been used up. This means my days of rapid advancement are over." Looking at the Qi Induction Stage 5, early stage, realm displayed on the panel...
While Shen Changchuan was satisfied, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he hadn't been greedy enough.

In just two months, he advanced from the mid-stage of the fourth level to the early stage of the fifth level.
This rocket-like speed was something Shen Changchuan never dared to imagine before.

However, considering that he improved his physical and spiritual qualities after consuming the Biyuan Water Grass,

With the added benefit of ample cultivation pills, such a rapid increase in speed is not surprising.

However, the thirteen Qi-Nourishing Pills that were seized have now been completely used up.
It's practically impossible to maintain that speed again.

Unless a new source of elixirs can be obtained.

Unfortunately, this is not easy.

This desolate land is too remote to support an alchemist.

The elixirs on the four villains of Heshan probably came from even more distant big cities.

It’s difficult!
For a moment, Shen Changchuan couldn't find a good solution.

perhaps,

If he could inherit the art of alchemy,
Can one use the progress bar panel to speed up the progress and then use it to refine pills and cultivate?
But Shen Changchuan quickly shook his head.

The value of the inheritance of alchemy is in no way inferior to that of a high-level magic weapon!
That's a technique that can earn spirit stones, enough to allow a cultivation family to establish itself!
Even those who know alchemy will keep it tightly under their belts and will not easily pass it on to outsiders.

just forget it.

Shen Changchuan could only suppress his thoughts.

"We can only wait until after the autumn harvest to see if any merchant caravans coming from outside Wujiaji have the corresponding elixirs for sale."

"If not, then we'll have to consider going to Qingcheng."

Shen Changchuan felt somewhat helpless and sighed softly.

Two months of seclusion,

Shen Changchuan reaped considerable rewards.
However, due to time constraints, Shen Changchuan was unable to practice all the spells left behind by the Four Fiends of Heshan.

Because of this matter,

The harvest season has arrived.

Above the spirit field,

The golden valley stretches as far as the eye can see, shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.

When the wind blows, it's like golden waves are rippling.

The harvest of spirit grains is a major event.
Shen Changchuan dared not be careless at all.

So he ended his seclusion.

He walked out of the secret chamber of the spirit spring.

"Grandpa, what's going on?"

Shen Changchuan saw Han Qinhu waiting outside and immediately asked him.

Don't be fooled by how eloquently Shen Changchuan talked about reforms in Dawan Village back then.

But this was, after all, his first time dealing with the management and cultivation of spiritual fields.

Therefore, they didn't have much confidence.

"very good."

"According to the experience of some older farmers in the village, the harvest should be ready in about three days."

"According to their estimates, this season's harvest should be good. It seems that the output of those ten acres of spirit fields should be more than the previous season, with an increase of about ten catties of spirit grain per acre, reaching an output of 110 catties per acre."

"The two spirit fields managed by Groups 11 and 12 have seen even greater increases in production. It is roughly estimated that they should be able to increase production by more than 40 jin."

Dawan Village is ultimately the main base, and it is also related to the production of the twelve mu of spiritual fields.

Therefore, a few days ago, Han Qinhu rushed back from Dawan Village to begin preparing for the harvest of the spirit fields, so he had a better understanding of the specifics of the autumn harvest.

"Changchuan, congratulations, your reform of the village has been a success."

Han Qinhu's voice was filled with emotion at this moment.

　The second update won't be until after noon. I haven't been in the right state of mind these past two days. While writing, I suddenly started to write filler chapters again, and I cut almost a thousand words of nonsense in this chapter.
