My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

The crowd, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks upon hearing this question, and their gazes turned to Sima Xiao.

Gu Qing was the same.

That's interesting. Are they targeting me?

Similarly, upon hearing this, Sima Xiao looked at Zhong Jiufan with a half-smile.

Having ambition and desire is a good thing.

The immortal kingdom has been passed down for over ten million years and has long since deciphered desires; the seven emotions and six desires are not the demonic path.

Looking at everyone, Sima Xiao smiled slightly and encouraged them:

"The true Dharma is passed down, encompassing the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"Although true techniques have different grades, there is no absolute distinction between strong and weak. Yellow-grade true techniques only comprehend a single attribute and a single profound mystery, but profound mysteries are also divided into levels."

"Cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm can comprehend profound mysteries up to the tenth level."

"For example, the profound mysteries of gravity; at the Qi Refining Realm, one can comprehend ten times the profound mysteries of gravity."

"Profound-grade True Techniques involve many profound mysteries. Even if a cultivator who practices a Profound-grade technique has a high level of comprehension of these mysteries, he may not be able to defeat someone who practices a Yellow-grade True Technique."

Upon hearing Sima Xiao's words, Jia Meiqian, Xiao Chen, and the others who had obtained Huang Pinzhen's method all showed a hint of joy in their eyes.

They still have a chance.

However, they failed to consider that those who could obtain a Xuan-grade True Method were inherently more talented.

Sima Xiao did not point this out.

People still need hope.

He turned his gaze to Gu Qing, Zhong Jiufan, Chen Ang, and Qin Jue, and continued:

"The same applies."

"Even a cultivator of Earth-grade True Techniques can lose to a cultivator of Profound-grade True Techniques."

"The fusion of different profound mysteries will release a special fluctuation that will affect the cultivator's soul. Cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm can only withstand the special fluctuation released by the fusion of different profound mysteries of the same attribute."

"If one forcibly fuses the profound mysteries of different attributes while in the Qi Refining Realm, the cultivator's soul will bear terrifying pressure and evolve amidst special fluctuations during this process."

"If a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm does not undergo a physical transformation, and their soul and body are not compatible, it will lead to the collapse of their physical body."

"In other words..."

"At the Qi Refining Realm stage, the influence of True Law is minimal, so we can barely be considered to be on the same starting line."

Once one's cultivation reaches the second-grade Foundation Establishment Realm and the third-grade Golden Core Realm, the influence of the True Law will become increasingly significant.

The cultivation techniques of the Immortal Kingdom have evolved over millions of years.

Immortal cultivation techniques have evolved from simply stacking energy and advancing cultivation levels to various sophisticated accumulations.

With the support of various latest and most cutting-edge immortal cultivation technologies, it is now possible for cultivators to fight beyond their level.

Especially those with exceptional talent and comprehension who are destined for immortality.

the other side.

After receiving Sima Xiao's reply, the other ten mercenaries' eyes blazed with ambition.

"Gu Qing, did you hear that?!"

"You win this time, but I'll definitely win it back in the bloodline competition."

Zhong Jiufan's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, and he said excitedly.

Gu Qing glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't try to make yourself dramatic. The second mercenary trial is the closest we'll ever get."

"In the future, you will only be able to look up to me."

"We will never cross paths again; we will only drift further apart."

"You, you..."

"Alright, alright, you just wait."

Zhong Jiufan was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes were filled with rage.

He, Zhong Jiufan, was a strong-willed man throughout his life, yet he was ridiculed by ordinary people.

What good is talent if he's just a commoner from the bottom of the Immortal Kingdom? He has no idea how powerful money can be.

……

After collecting their rewards from the second mercenary trial, the group went outside the Immortal Wood Group and returned home.

After parting ways with Jia Meiqian and the others,

Gu Qing did not return to Yinyue Community immediately.

"Right now, the primary task is to improve our strength and prepare for the Bloodline Tournament in three months."

"Improving our strength simply means addressing our weaknesses and strengthening our advantages."

"My biggest weakness is probably my spiritual power cultivation, right?"

Previously, in the Demon Mist Plane, due to insufficient spiritual energy, Gu Qing's cultivation was still stagnant at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

With that in mind, Gu Qing hailed a hovercar on the roadside and headed straight for Baicaofang.

"Go to Miaodan Pavilion."

"Okay."

When Gu Qing stepped into Miaodan Pavilion again, the saleswoman named A Yao immediately came to greet him.

This was the third time she had received Gu Qing.

Knowing that Gu Qing was a distinguished guest, she dared not neglect him in the slightest.

"Mr. Gu, welcome."

"What kind of medicine do you need for this trip?"

The slender Ayao smiled.

"It's still a pill to increase spiritual power cultivation."

"only……"

"I'm now at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and the Yellow Dragon Pill's potency is somewhat insufficient. Do you have anything better?"

Upon hearing this, Ayao was somewhat agitated.

Mr. Gu's cultivation speed is so fast. In just over a month, his cultivation level is already close to the limit of the Qi Refining Realm.

Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.

Saleswoman Ayao smiled and introduced, "Mr. Gu, these are pills suitable for first-grade, eighth-rank and above, including Xuan Yuan Pill, Zi Yang Pill, Long Yuan Pill, Ju Ling Pill, and Tai Xuan Yu Lu Pill."

Five kinds?

"In that case, let's choose a first-grade, tenth-level pill, which will increase our cultivation speed the fastest."

He cultivates at an extremely fast pace and almost never encounters bottlenecks.

I might as well use a first-grade, tenth-level pill directly, so as to avoid having to switch to other pills after breaking through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Since that's the case..."

"Ayao recommends that you purchase the Tai Xuan Jade Dew Pill. It is a first-grade, tenth-level pill, with the main ingredients being Tai Xuan Jade Dew Flower and spiritual marrow. It also has remarkable effects on cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and can greatly increase the purity of spiritual power."

"Can."

"Give me forty bottles of ordinary Tai Xuan Jade Dew Pills."

Before long, saleswoman Ayao had packed all the pills.

She placed the pill in Gu Qing's hand and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Gu, is there anything else you'd like to buy?"

"other?"

"Oh, right."

Gu Qing suddenly remembered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Creation Bottle that he had dug up from an island in the Earth's Core Flame Sea when he was in the Demon Mist Plane.

This substance can accelerate plant growth, but I wonder how much it can accelerate it?

Do you sell any live medicinal plants in your shop?

"Or perhaps medicinal plant seeds?"

"Uh, yes."

"But only common medicinal plants, such as the commonly seen Polygonatum, ginseng, Ganoderma, etc."

"If Mr. Gu needs the medicinal herbs, he must place an order, and they will be delivered from the medicinal herb plantation."

The salesperson was confused and puzzled.

Mr. Gu wants to learn alchemy on his own?

Gu Qing didn't explain further, bought some common medicinal plant seeds, and returned home.

Gu Qing cleared out a few flowerpots on the balcony and planted the medicinal plant seeds.

Then take out the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Creation Bottle from the equipment slot, pour out the Creation Essence inside, mix it with pure water at a ratio of 1:100, and water the flowerpot.

"If the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Creation Bottle can quickly promote the growth of medicinal plants, and combined with the alchemy skills given to me by the four elder brothers of the Meng family, I can try to refine pills."

"In this way, not only can we save the spirit coins needed to buy pills, but we can even make money from it!!"

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

After staring at the balcony for a while, I returned to the bedroom.

Then, replace the empty equipment slot with the Tai Xuan Jade Dew Pill.
