I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

However, this makes it even easier for Naraku to enter the warehouse.

The warehouse was such an important place that guests couldn't just walk in whenever they wanted.

The reason the staff who served Naraku led him to the storeroom was simply because Naraku had fallen under Naraku's illusion.

Using illusions to hypnotize shop staff is, of course, against the rules.

Once discovered, the Uchiha clan would arrest Naraku like mad dogs.

They would be even more excited if they discovered that Naraku was a member of Root.

Well, of course, there's also the possibility that they might obediently release Naraku.

After all, the current leader of the Uchiha clan is the notoriously strong-on-the-outside-but-weak-on-the-inside Uchiha Fugaku.

The other side wouldn't dare touch anyone from the Root organization, otherwise they would be met with Danzo's powerful counterattack.

Let's go back to Naraku.

After using illusion magic to hypnotize the manager of the herbal medicine shop, Naraku successfully entered the storeroom.

This place has a neat collection of various medicinal herbs.

Driven by spiritual consciousness.

Naraku did not immediately search the storeroom upon entering; instead, he used his divine sense to investigate.

Although his current divine sense can only perceive a radius of ten meters, given the size of the warehouse, he can explore it from all angles by taking a few more steps.

"Go and bring over the medicinal herbs from here, here, here, and over there."

After the perception ended, Naraku asked the supervisor to bring the medicinal herbs he had chosen.

There were only five medicinal herbs, and they were all different species.

However, they all have one thing in common: they are all quite old, at least forty or fifty years old.

After taking the medicinal herbs, Naraku immediately put them away using a sealing scroll. Then, just like when he came over, he pretended to be the manager and led the way back into the shop.

"Guest, the total cost of the medicinal herbs you purchased this time is 530,000 taels."

"Okay, here's the money!"

Although he used illusion magic to find the medicinal herbs, in the end, Naraku didn't really get them for free; he still paid the price.

That's just how well-mannered he is.

It's definitely not to avoid being discovered, but also to make it convenient for the next time I come to buy things.

Naraku still had a considerable amount of savings.

After all, the Root Organization, like the Dark Division, is a department with low rank but high authority.

Making money is very easy.

In particular, Naraku often robbed the rich to help the poor when he was on missions to buy more ninja tools and medicinal herbs for training his taijutsu.

Because I have plenty of money.

Naraku then went to other herbal medicine shops in the village.

Only after he had thoroughly searched the area did he return, completely satisfied.

The stream flows.

On the open space to the side, there was a rather simple wooden house.

This is the new house that Naraku built himself after moving.

After returning from the street and entering the wooden house, Naraku no longer concealed his true feelings and cheerfully took out the medicinal herbs sealed in the scroll.

The sealing scroll is a one-time use item.

Once an item is sealed and then removed, it becomes unusable.

However, Naraku himself possessed certain sealing techniques, so he was able to create sealing scrolls on his own.

He was even less concerned about consuming small sealing scrolls like these.

"I didn't expect that the village's medicine shop would actually have quite a few spiritual herbs. But then again, ordinary people can't distinguish spiritual herbs, and they would just treat them as ordinary medicinal herbs if they encountered them."

Looking at the medicinal herbs placed on the simple wooden table, Naraku's eyes revealed a smile.

He initially approached it with a "let's give it a try" attitude.

Unexpectedly, they actually made a surprising discovery.

To the average person, these medicinal herbs are just some ordinary herbs that have been around for a long time.

However, under Naraku's divine sense, they all contained spiritual energy.

In other words, these medicinal herbs are actually the spiritual medicines that cultivators crave.

The effects of the elixir need no further explanation.

Naraku went to the herbal medicine shop to look for spiritual herbs because he thought that since this world has spiritual energy, even if the spiritual energy is weak, there is still a chance to nurture natural treasures like spiritual herbs.

As it turned out, his guess was correct.

This world does indeed contain miraculous medicines.

"However, these medicinal herbs are not well preserved, and the concentration of spiritual energy they contain is also relatively limited, possibly due to insufficient spiritual energy."

Sensing the condition of each spiritual herb with his divine sense, Naraku was satisfied but also somewhat regretful.

Preserving elixirs is naturally much more complicated than preserving ordinary medicinal materials.

Preserving a spiritual herb using the normal methods for storing medicinal materials will inevitably cause the spiritual energy within the herb to dissipate.

As for the concentration of spiritual energy, that goes without saying.

Only an environment rich in spiritual energy can nurture spiritual herbs with the most concentrated spiritual energy.

Vice versa is also true.

Chapter 22 Qi Refining Level 3

According to the records of spiritual medicines in the "Secret Canon of Immortals".

The spiritual herbs we've found so far contain only about ten times the concentration of spiritual energy.

Of course, with Naraku's current cultivation level of only the second level of Qi Refining, a ten-year supply of spiritual medicine would still have a considerable effect on him, enough to save him a lot of time from arduous cultivation.

Because of the guards and shadow clones deployed around the wooden house, Naraku didn't need to worry about being disturbed while refining the elixir.

Right then and there, he took a medicinal herb, sat cross-legged on a futon he had bought, and swallowed the elixir directly.

Ordinary people, and even ninjas, are unable to refine spiritual medicines.

Even if you consume it, the spiritual energy contained within the elixir will be directly expelled through your body, producing effects no different from ordinary medicinal herbs.

But Naraku, as a cultivator, is different.

As the elixir entered his stomach, when he circulated the nameless cultivation technique, the spiritual energy contained within the elixir was immediately refined by his true energy, causing his cultivation level to rapidly improve.

In just a short while, the spiritual medicine was completely refined.

Correspondingly, Naraku's cultivation level suddenly increased by the equivalent of nearly half a month of arduous training.

Of course, this is without taking into account the assistance of the True Qi Shadow Clone.

Having personally experienced the effects of the elixir, Naraku couldn't wait to immediately take another elixir.

The medicinal herbs were refined one by one.

Naraku's cultivation level also rose accordingly.

In particular, when he refined some of the spiritual herbs that were twenty or thirty years old, each one increased his cultivation by nearly one or two months.

When the last spiritual herb was refined, Naraku's true energy surged, forming an invisible force field.

It can be said that even if someone were to shoot a kunai at Naraku at this moment, they would be blasted away by the surging true energy.

After a short while, the surging true energy returned to the body.

Naraku opened his eyes, and the divine light flowing in them was enough to prove that his cultivation had greatly improved.

"Not bad, this will shorten the time it takes to reach the second level of Qi Refining perfection." Feeling his current cultivation level, Naraku nodded secretly, feeling quite satisfied.

"There's a chance to buy spiritual herbs at the herbal medicine shop, but it's all down to luck. Plus, I can't leave the village right now, so going to the herbal medicine shop to find spiritual herbs is just something I do in my spare time. The only reliable way is through my own cultivation."

A famous doctor once said that people must rely on themselves.

Naraku quite agreed with this statement.

So even though he discovered that this world contained miraculous medicines, he did not rush to find them.

After all, what he's pursuing now is stable development.

Of course, the main reason for not being in a hurry for the elixir is the existence of the True Qi Shadow Clone.

Although the cultivation efficiency brought by the True Qi Shadow Clone is not as fast as that of spiritual medicine, it is still quite significant.

He has a lot of patience, especially when it comes to stability.

"You want me to give you some pointers?"
