At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

First of all, one thing is certain.

Those evil cultivators of the Demonic Path definitely don't know that Li Lan participated in the Stone Bamboo Shoots Ridge incident.

And became the fisherman who laughed last.

Otherwise, they would have come to capture him personally long ago, so why would they need to go to so much trouble?

Since they don't know, it means his current situation is still relatively safe.

He just needs to avoid attracting too much attention recently.

Realizing this, Li Lan immediately dismissed the idea of buying these spiritual plants from Miao Chenfeng.

Secondly, after calming down, he deduced the purpose of these evil cultivators of the Demonic Path.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess.

Putting himself in their shoes, it is easy to see through.

Currently, these demonic cultivators are plotting to infiltrate the major sects.

What they are most worried about at this time is probably that their secret will be exposed by Zhang Jingyuan.

That's why they are acting like madmen, trying to stop him at all costs.

The commotion caused by Stone Bamboo Shoots Ridge was so great that these demonic cultivators must have noticed and rushed to the scene.

Based on the traces left at the scene, they can definitely analyze that.

Besides Zhang Jingyuan, there were other people present at the time.

However.

These evil cultivators of the Demonic Path cannot be sure whether anyone survived at that time.

Therefore, they will investigate based on the power traces of the formations, talismans, etc. left at the scene.

Using the power of Guangji Temple, with a reasonable reason, to conduct an investigation.

Li Lan thought about it over and over for a long time, and finally came to this tenable conclusion.

With this thought in mind.

He regained his composure.

Currently, the enemy is in the open and he is in the dark, so Li Lan naturally doesn't need to worry too much about anything.

As long as he continues to honestly be a little nobody.

Presumably, those evil cultivators of the Demonic Path will never associate him, a Qi Refining Stage initial stage cultivator, with the Foundation Establishment Stage, no matter what.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Miao. Junior Brother will pay more attention to these spiritual plants in the future."

Li Lan didn't continue to talk about this matter in depth, and shifted the topic without leaving a trace.

"However, the transaction I want to talk to Senior Brother Miao about this time is not this."

Miao Chenfeng looked puzzled when he heard this.

"Oh?"

"Then what does Junior Brother Li want to talk to me about?"

Li Lan said lightly:

"Senior Brother Miao grew up in Spiritual Plant Peak since he was a child, so he should have heard of the Breakthrough Pill, right?"

"Of course I've heard of it."

The Breakthrough Pill is a pill that almost every Qi Refining Stage cultivator cannot avoid.

As everyone knows.

The Qi Refining Stage has a total of thirteen levels, except for the final thirteenth level.

The first twelve levels can be subdivided into four levels per stage.

Each stage is a bottleneck, and breaking through is extremely difficult.

The main function of the Breakthrough Pill is to help cultivators break through realms.

It is similar to the Foundation Establishment Pill in terms of effect, but the price is not as high as the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"The transaction that Junior Brother wants to do with Senior Brother is related to this Breakthrough Pill."

"No need for Senior Brother to provide spiritual materials, and I can give the successfully refined Breakthrough Pill to Senior Brother for free, how about it?"

Li Lan's words immediately made Miao Chenfeng's face full of surprise.

"Is there such a good thing?"

However.

Soon, Miao Chenfeng reacted.

He looked at Li Lan suspiciously and said:

"Junior Brother Li, this Breakthrough Pill is good, but it is not so easy to refine."

"Even the lowest level Breakthrough Pill, which can only be used by cultivators in the initial stage of Qi Refining, has reached the second grade low rank."

"Refining pills of this grade has extremely high requirements for the cultivator's cultivation realm and the degree of proficiency in the way of alchemy."

"Junior Brother Li, although you were fortunate enough to break through the realm twice in a row in the spiritual vein cultivation cave, both ended in success."

"But in this matter, you still need to be more cautious."

The Breakthrough Pill is very popular in Guangji Temple, almost to the point of being in short supply.

After all.

Except for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, which can ignore any bottlenecks before the Core Formation Stage.

Almost every cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can use this thing.

Miao Chenfeng naturally wanted Li Lan not to waste too much thought on cultivation.

Refine more pills and make some contributions to Spiritual Plant Peak, the Miao family, and even Guangji Temple.

But he was very clear in his heart.

In terms of the other party's current cultivation realm.

The success rate of refining this pill is indeed still too low.

However.

Li Lan said after all that he would provide it for free, which made Miao Chenfeng very happy.

This shows that the other party has begun to realize the shortcomings in his cultivation technique and the bleakness of his future.

He has begun to seriously consider the matter of offering a pledge of allegiance to Spiritual Plant Peak and the Miao family.

It is quite rare for the other party to have this intention.

It is not in vain for him to help the other party these years.

In order not to打击 Li Lan's enthusiasm, Miao Chenfeng spoke very euphemistically.

He didn't expect that Li Lan hadn't seen him for a month, and he didn't know what stimulus he had received.

Suddenly, he was unusually persistent in the matter of alchemy.

Miao Chenfeng's tactful refusal did not discourage him.

He continued to patiently persuade:

"It doesn't matter if you can't refine it for the time being. Junior Brother can familiarize himself with the process in advance and gain some valuable experience."

"In this way, wouldn't the success rate be much greater when you reach the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

Miao Chenfeng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

After all.

The cultivation technique that Li Lan is currently practicing is incomplete.

It can only maintain him until he cultivates to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

After reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.

He only has two paths to take.

One is to create the most suitable subsequent cultivation path based on the characteristics of the technique.

This path is almost impossibly difficult.

Even the Heavenly Spiritual Root, known as the pride of heaven, can hardly do it.

It is even more impossible for Li Lan, who has a pseudo-spiritual root aptitude.

Without that monstrous talent, forcing this path will only lead to being in the company of evil cultivators of the Demonic Path.

Either he will suffer from Qi Deviation and die on the spot.

Or he will succeed by chance, but every step of improvement in cultivation will be extremely difficult, and he will have to pay an unimaginable price.

The second path is to switch to other cultivation techniques.

In the world of cultivation.

The routes of each cultivation technique for circulating the heavens and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are different.

It is precisely because of this.

Each cultivation technique will have strengths and weaknesses in terms of cultivation speed.

A good cultivation technique has a short time for circulating the heavens in the body, and the speed of converting spiritual energy into mana is fast.

The opposite is also true.

When the cultivation reaches the realm of returning to simplicity and reaching the same goal by different routes.

Cultivators can switch the learned cultivation techniques in a very short time, and achieve thorough understanding.

But before the cultivation has reached this realm.

Rashly switching to other cultivation techniques, you must re-expand the meridian cultivation routes suitable for the new cultivation technique.

Although the cultivation realm will not decline.

But absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth needs to slowly adapt from the first level of Qi Refining.

This is almost no different from starting over.

It will greatly slow down the progress of cultivators continuing to improve their own realm.

For Qi Refining cultivators who don't have much lifespan, this is almost a fatal flaw.

It is precisely because of this.

Most sects in the world of cultivation.

Under special circumstances where it is not necessary, they will avoid investing too many resources in cultivators who practice incomplete cultivation techniques.

Because their ending has already been determined when they choose the cultivation technique.

It is difficult to build a foundation in this life.

On the premise that lifespan cannot exceed a hundred years.

The invested resources and the return that the other party can bring are obviously not proportional.

The only correct approach.

Is to be like Elder Jian Chen and Miao Chenfeng.

Only invest a small amount of cultivation resources, and try to exchange equivalent returns from the other party.

Li Lan is already very close to the fourth level of Qi Refining at this moment.

What Miao Chenfeng is considering is.

If at this time, he can divert the other party's attention from switching to other cultivation techniques to alchemy.

How much help will that bring to the entire Miao family?

After all.

The other party is only twenty-one years old now.

According to the average lifespan of sixty or seventy years.

If Li Lan starts to contact refining Breakthrough Pills now, he can serve the Miao family for at least forty years.

This is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.
