Chapter 283 Getting on the Right Track and Cultivating Dilemma
Time passed, and almost a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Yu Lie stayed in the elixir shop and sealed himself in his room, which was also the largest alchemy room.

He looked at the elixir stove in front of him, which was made of white bones. Although there was already a mature medicinal fragrance in the stove, indicating that the elixir had been successfully refined, Yu Lie still showed no joy on his face. He frowned slightly.

When the fire arrives.

I saw Yu Lie lightly knocking on the bone pill furnace, and the close flower bones immediately bloomed, and thick juice flowed out of it, bright red in color and pungent, and there were eyeball-like pills inlaid in it, densely packed, Very infiltrating.

Yu Lie stretched out his hand and collected the dry pills hanging on the inner wall of the alchemy furnace one by one, put them on the porcelain plate beside him, and shook a copper bell next to it.

The sound of jingling bells sounded, and footsteps immediately sounded outside the alchemy room.

Song Danqing has been busy working in the alchemy furnace for a long time, and now he is familiar with the work. In addition to seeing and seeing off, he is also doing odd jobs in the shop.

After he knocked on the door, he walked in with small steps, just in time to see Yu Lie holding a pill of purple-red medicine, putting it in his mouth to taste, and frowning deeply.

Song Danqing looked at the pills placed on the porcelain plate.

After a short period of hard work, he already had a preliminary understanding of medicinal materials and elixirs, and recognized that it was a pill called "Grape Pearl", which can nourish the true energy and nourish the body, and it is an eighth-grade elixir It is quite a high-end one.

The raw material is to use the eyeballs of grape spirit monkeys, together with other medicinal materials, and use the flesh and blood pill method to refine it. After refining, it will naturally become shriveled, like grapes. Just one pill can be sold for five dollars. The price of a spirit stone.

According to what Song Danqing knew, Yu Lie often came to the elixir shop recently, and he was researching this elixir.

According to Song Danqing's current vision, he found that Yu Lie had obviously refined the pills, and the quality was good, which could be used as the main item of the pill shop this month and make a lot of money.

It's just that Yu Lie's expression made Song Danqing uncertain again. As a last resort, he asked aloud:
"Boss, what is the texture of the pills, and how much should the price be?"

Yu Lie was taking the elixir, the juice leaked from his mouth, he swallowed it a few times, and said casually: "This furnace is of high quality, and the price is priced at six spirit stones per pill."

Song Danqing immediately replied: "Okay."

There was joy in his voice.

Song Danqing now regards the store as half of his own home, and Yu Lie even acquiesced in allowing him to rest in the store, one side is to look after the store, and it can also save him the cost of the hotel.

As for the aura, the store is just so-so, not bad, enough for Song Danqing's daily practice.

After learning that two alchemy practitioners in the store were kicked out, Song Danqing was always worried that the store's business would decline, so he privately listed a lot of ideas for Yu, and even offered to prepare some spells. Yu Lie allowed it to be sold in shops.

It's just that in Song Danqing's view, the shop's business has never been on the right track.

Now that Yu Lie has successfully refined the eighth-grade high-grade elixir, this person has a good understanding of Yu Lie's alchemy skills, and secretly said in his heart: "Brother Yu's alchemy skills are only one person, but they are enough to resist If you beat the usual three, the business of the shop can be on the right track, and it won’t be a mess!”

Thinking in his heart, Song Danqing carefully collected the pills on the porcelain plate into a square jade bottle.

He looked at Yu Lie, who was still looking calm and happy, and said in a low voice: "Is there anything else you need to order, Master?"

Yu Lie heard the words and said: "You don't need to call me my boss in private, just call me Yu Lie or Brother Lie."

Song Danqing nodded with a smile, but still bowed.

Yu Lie didn't say what he was worried about, but just prevaricated: "By the way, tell me what you did and how it went, but did you get involved with the snakes and rats in the city?"

Song Danqing heard the words, and his voice was even lower: "Go back to the boss. It's almost there. Since I revealed the store last time, some people have shown signs of excitement. I guess those people are also secretly inquiring about our affairs now."

Song Danqing paused, and then said: "But in this way, our store has no cover. If someone with a heart tells the Taoist Palace, will it affect the evaluation of the owner after five years?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Lie showed a disconcerted expression on his face:

"It's nothing, since you want to do business with those snakes and rats, how can you not take some risks. What happens five years later, let's talk about it five years later, the first thing is to make money. The channel of the ghost market must never be given up!"

After explaining, Yu Lie opened his eyes, still looked at Song Danqing, and said with a smile: "Maybe Brother Song will also have entered the Taoist Palace by then, and you and I will go around together, it will be fine."

Song Danqing cupped his hands and responded: "My boss is joking."

After a few more words, Yu Lie sent Song Danqing out.

The wooden door in the room was closed, and the noise completely disappeared.

Yu Lie came back to his senses, he looked at the bone pill furnace that still had the fragrance of the pill, but sighed softly on his face:
"Even if it's a top-ranked cultivation pill, the improvement effect is not very obvious."

After tasting just now, one pill of grape beads can allow him to practice for one day, which is worth the usual three days of penance.

This rate of improvement is not small.

But Yu Lie silently calculated that he was still about 30 years away from 19 years of Taoism.Calculated on the basis of 20 years, if he wants to reach the high-level Taoist realm within five years, he will have to improve his Taoism for four years in one year.

In other words, Yu Lie's cultivation speed must be at least four times the normal speed.

And this has to take care of all the chores other than cultivation, including refining the elixir itself.In this way, with his single-minded hard work, it is possible to break through to the realm of a high-ranking Taoist within five years, and he can try to break through and become a Taoist official.

Thinking about it, Yu Lie thought to himself again: "No, it's not enough to increase the cultivation speed by four times. Every transformation will take at least one year before the next transformation.

In other words, if I want to transform into a Taoist official within five years, I have to practice Taoism for 20 years in the next four years! "

In this way, his cultivation speed requirement changed from at least four times to at least five times!
This one-time difference is three to four times the difference, and the degree of difficulty is doubled.

And the grape pearl elixir that Yu Lie is currently refining is already the elixir that he knows so far, which is convenient for him to refine, and has the most obvious effect on improving the speed of cultivation.

But in the current situation, it is obvious that the effect of this medicine is far from meeting his requirements.

Even after breaking through and becoming a middle-level Taoist, Yu Lie will take this medicine again. Regardless of the effect, his own drug resistance is probably extremely high, so he has to change another prescription.

Yu Lie frowned, and couldn't help thinking: "It would be great if I could get another treasure like Chizhen Secret Sand!"

It's a pity that such treasures as red real secret sand can be encountered but not sought after.Second, pills that can directly increase one's cultivation are also rare.

Yu Lie asked Song Danqing to inquire about it when he contacted the black market and started business.

It turned out that such treasures as Chizhen Secret Sand would never be circulated in the ghost market at all.Even if there are occasional courageous ones who dare to sell in the ghost market, they will be targeted by the forces in the ghost market as soon as they make a move, and they will be bought at a high price, and they will not be sold outside, even at auctions.

For people like Yu Lie who have no connections, if they want to get it, they basically have to go to the outer city area in person, collect herbs by themselves, and try their luck.

As soon as the idea of ​​"hitting luck" arose in Yu Lie's mind, Yu Lie immediately denied it:
"Now that I am a disciple of the Taoist Palace, and I have a family background, how can I go out and take risks at will?"

Although he strongly wants to break through and become a priest within five years, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he can go as little as he can to the outer city area.

Yu Lie thought to himself: "In this way, there is only one last solution left."

Ordinary eighth-rank pills with little consequences are not enough, and the remaining targets are immediately placed on eighth-rank pills with radical effects and some consequences, or seventh-rank pills that Taoist officials are qualified to take!
What he was thinking about was whether he would revise the radical prescription and use medicine and poison together so that the pill would have no negative effect on him at least, or whether he would personally refine a seventh-grade pill that surpassed his current state. medicine.

Especially the latter.

Seventh-rank pills are not sold to eighth-rank Taoists, but they are refined by Taoists themselves, and no one knows if they take it by themselves.

Moreover, there are distinct levels of cultivation in the immortal way, and it is quite difficult to overcome the small realm of the first rank.To be able to refine something beyond one's own level when one's cultivation base is insufficient is already quite qualified.

And if it is possible to cross a large realm and refine a seventh-rank elixir with an eighth-rank body, even if it is only the bottom of the seventh rank, it can also be regarded as a talent, and it can be admitted to the Taoist Palace without trying. In the middle, become an outer disciple.

If Yu Lie could refine the seventh-grade elixir, it would not only help him greatly increase his cultivation speed, but also improve his status in the Dao Palace.

Five years later, even if he didn't break through to become a Taoist official, he would still be able to keep the situation under control!
As for extreme prescriptions or seven-grade prescriptions, where should I find them? Yu Lie slightly narrowed his eyes and thought to himself:
"It seems that the Daoist lectures held on March [-]st in the Dao Palace are really not to be missed. I have to make some preparations."

In the lectures on Taoism, there will be at least one Taoist palace lecturer.

At that time, it seems that disciples of Taoist palaces like Yu Lie can use the spirit stones and Taoist skills in their hands to exchange exercises, prescriptions, etc. from the lecturers of the Taoist palace.

After Yu Lie passed the assessment, he got a Dao skill in his hand.

As for why you don't go directly to the Taoist palace's scripture storage hall, pharmacy and other places to exchange, it is because in the Taoist palace, there are distinct levels of class, and any level can only enter that kind of place.

He simply couldn't enter the place where the seventh-grade classics were located, let alone exchange them.

If you want to get it in advance, the only way is to exchange it from a Taoist who has the identity of a lecturer, and you must be pleasing to the other party.

The reason why the rules are so cumbersome has no other purpose. On the surface, it is not to let the disciples get something for nothing, not to spoil the seedlings, and to know the truth that Taoism should not be taught lightly. In fact, it is just for keeping secrets.

Otherwise, Yu Lie has a relationship with Shouwu enshrining, so he can go to the other party to learn while the other party is still alive, and get a lot of prescriptions.

It's a pity that most of the prescriptions in the hands of Shouwu enshrined, the other party made an oath contract not to be passed on when they learned it, even if they were the bloodline heirs of the first relatives.

The reason why Shouwu Priest is willing to work in the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce, despite being a Taoist official, is that besides the good remuneration, the main reason is that the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce can provide him with a lot of alchemy exercises in advance.

"That's right." Yu Lie thought about it, and suddenly thought: "More than a month has passed, and I don't know how the life and death of Shouwu Taoist Priest will be?"

In a month's time, judging from the look of Shouwu Enshrined at the beginning, the other party either chose to become a ghost or a god, or died of serious injuries, and his soul has been scattered.

In the past half a month, Yu Lie has neglected many trivial matters in order to study alchemy. Luo Sen is also busy, and the two have not met in private. He is inconvenient to ask, and he forgot to ask.

With this in mind, Yu Lie suddenly felt that he could take a break from alchemy, relax, and take care of his subordinates.

Not long after, he put away the bone pill furnace, walked out of the room, and found a busy Lawson in the shop.

When he asked Lawson, he got an answer that made him feel relieved but also secretly disappointed.

Shouwu worshiped Luo Sen's persuasion in the end, and did not choose to dissipate the soul, but became a ghost.

It's just that the other party sent a letter to Luo Sen, saying that after becoming a god, he will not be free, and it is not yet known where he will go.Although he has entrusted his relationship and wants to stay in Dao City, there is no guarantee that he will do so.

Even if they stay in the Taoist city, they will be called gods and ghosts at that time, and many blessings will be reduced, and they will not be as good as real Taoists, and they must act in accordance with the law, otherwise, their actual status will not be as good as living Taoists .

But the other party also told Luo Sen not to be afraid of things, just practice well.

Even if it was separated from Dao City, within a sixty-year period, some human relations still existed, which was enough to ensure that Luo Sen could practice safely in the city.

In the shop, Lawson leaned forward and said to Yu Lie:
"Grandpa Shouwu has resigned, and Qian Lin Dadan's room has been replaced by someone else. The exact location of grandpa is a secret matter of the Dao Palace, and it is beyond the knowledge of this concubine."

Yu Lie nodded, cupped his hands and said, "The Taoist priest will definitely stay in the city as he wishes, please rest assured, sister."

He secretly said in his heart: "The name is a god, but it is actually a ghost. After becoming a god, he can't help himself. Is this the reason why Taoist Priest of Shouwu doesn't want to become a god?"

But Yu Lie thought about what Luo Sen had told, and found that this kind of lack of freedom was just an inability to dominate, and he still had his own wisdom.

Take this kind of "unfreedom" and compare it with the life span of a Jiazi.If Yu Lie were to choose, he would definitely choose the latter.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Lie felt that there must be a deeper reason.However, he didn't talk to Rosen any more, so as not to worry the other party.

After exchanging pleasantries, at noon, Yu Lie left the elixir shop and returned to practice in the mountain gate of the Taoist Palace.

A new medicine has been refined, although it is not to one's liking, but until there is no substitute, he can only use this medicine to cultivate.

"Three times the speed of cultivation, it's just so-so."

If this kind of thinking is known to others, they will definitely spit at him secretly, calling him a big dog and not satisfied.

for the rest of the time.

Yu Lie was immersed in cultivation, and his craft of refining grape beads became more and more proficient.

Time passed by again.

Two months later, it was the day when they, the group of Taoists, could listen to the Tao and study the Fa for the first time.
