The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 30 It’s hard to find a single pill (please collect it, please recommend it)

As spring goes and autumn comes, three years have passed. In the eyes of the monks, it can only be regarded as a moment.

In the past three years, Xu Zhiyu has either practiced in his room or made talismans. He has used up the three bottles of chalcedony pills given by his family. He also bought elixirs from his own pocket and used a lot of the spiritual stones he accumulated every year.

When I have free time, I go back to my shop and chat with my father. It is worth mentioning that Xu Zhiyu can earn a lot of spiritual stones due to the large number of family rewards issued and making talismans every year. Besides using them for his own cultivation every year, he still has a lot left over. So he took out some of the spiritual stones and bought three first-level high-grade elixirs - Wall-Breaking Pills for his father, each worth three hundred spiritual stones.

Xu Zhengyang originally didn't want his son to spend spiritual stones indiscriminately, but he couldn't resist Xu Zhiyu's mother and son's persuasion. Moreover, the elixir had already been bought. In any case, his son took it because he liked it. Although his spiritual roots were poor, he still broke through to the seventh level of Qi training a year ago. In addition, with the help of elixirs, Li Aijun also broke through to the fifth level of Qi training. It was a double blessing.

Now Xu Zhiyu can be said to have made great progress in both cultivation and talisman making, and is about to be promoted to a first-level high-grade talisman maker. I have to say that Xu Zhiyu's talent for making talismans is outstanding.

His cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi training, and is just a hair away from the eighth level of Qi training.

Several spells are becoming more and more proficient, and some of them can be cast instantly. It is estimated that they can be released all at once.

In the room, Xu Zhiyu was running the technique over and over again. With the operation of "Burning Wood and Fierce Fire Technique", the spiritual energy traveled in his meridians for a week and then entered his Dantian. As the spiritual energy accumulated in the Dantian became more and more... More and more, Xu Zhiyu controlled the spiritual power to attack the seventh-level bottleneck.

"Not enough" Xu Zhiyu thought to himself, poured out another chalcedony pill and swallowed it in his mouth. When the chalcedony pill entered his belly, it turned into wisps of gentle spiritual power. Xu Zhiyu felt that the spiritual power in his body had increased sharply. The huge spiritual power began to collide in the meridians. Xu Zhiyu worked hard to control Jiexin's unruly The spiritual power is transported to the Dantian.

At this time, the spiritual power in the Dantian has reached the requirements of the eighth level of Qi training, but the bottleneck is still stuck somewhere. As the skill moves, the excess spiritual power begins to disperse into the surrounding air. Xu Zhiyu knew that his breakthrough failed, but fortunately it was not without some benefits. His cultivation level still increased a little.

Since he couldn't break through, Xu Zhiyu didn't force himself. He cast a spiritual rain spell on himself, changed into new clothes, and went out.

In the inner hall of the store, Xu Zhengyang listened to Xu Zhiyu talk about his breakthrough situation. After thinking about it he said:
  "You have encountered a bottleneck. You have been taking the Chalcedony Pill for the past three years. Now the Chalcedony Pill is no longer enough for you to break through the bottleneck. I'm afraid you have to find a way to get a barrier-breaking pill to be useful.

You can't count on the family. The last pill of the family's savings has been given to your third uncle.

The three-yuan grass in our tribe was just planted a few years ago, and it just sprouted this year. It will take more than ten years to mature, and you can’t wait any longer!”

Sanyuancao is the main ingredient for refining the barrier-breaking pill. Other auxiliary ingredients are easily produced and can be collected in the market.

But this three-yuan grass grows slowly and is extremely demanding on its living location. It can only grow near springs with strong aura and cold water. Therefore, it is generally not available in the market.

The Xu family only planted a few plants on the edge of a shady spiritual spring on the family spiritual mountain. They harvested them every twenty years and then entrusted an alchemist to refine them into elixirs.

Since this kind of elixir is relatively unpopular, not every clan member can be like Xu Zhiyu, who will suffer from bottlenecks when taking the elixir. Therefore, most of the refined elixirs flow into the market and are used to maintain the family's difficult finances!
  . . . . .

"You can go to the Baibao Tower later, but I advise you not to have too much hope. This kind of elixir is relatively unpopular."

A barrier-breaking pill can be sold for a hundred spirit stones on the market. The Xu family's three-yuan grass has a cycle of almost twenty years, and can produce ten or twenty pills each time. In this way, the cost of planting the three-yuan grass is excluded. , the fee for hiring an alchemist, the family can earn more than a hundred spiritual stones every year, which is better than nothing.

"Thank you father for your advice. I'll go and ask there right now. If it doesn't work, I'll send you a commission." After saying that, Xu Zhiyu left in a hurry. It was obvious that he was anxious about not being able to break through in his own cultivation.

Looking at his son's back, Xu Zhengyang thought to himself:
  "Yu'er, don't blame your father for not helping you this time. Your cultivation has been so smooth along the way and you haven't encountered any setbacks. I believe that after this bottleneck, you won't have any bottlenecks until you reach Dzogchen."

Xu Zhiyu came to Baibao Building and said to the waiter:
  "Do you have barrier-breaking pills or three-yuan grass for sale here?"

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have barrier-breaking pills for sale right now, nor do we have three-yuan grass. If you need it, we can help you pay more attention." The waiter said with an apologetic look.

"Then please help me pay more attention. If there is any problem, please tell me as soon as possible." Xu Zhiyu left with a disappointed look on his face. I came to the mission hall on the first floor, squeezed through the huge crowd of monks, and came to the place where missions were issued on one side and handed over a token.

"Send me a task to collect three-yuan grass."

"Okay, wait a moment, what are you going to get as reward?" the steward replied respectfully.

Xu Zhiyu thought for a moment, took out two bottles of chalcedony pills, and handed them to the steward.

Xu Tianyu bought this for his cultivation. Now that this elixir is of little use to him, it would not be a pity to take it out.

"We will help you write it down right now." After saying that, he engraved "Two bottles of chalcedony pills in exchange for three yuan grass" on a spiritual wood sign, and called a boy to hang it in the hall.

"Look, there's a new reward coming out."

"It's actually two bottles of chalcedony pills. With these two bottles of pills, I, Lao Zhu, might be able to break through and become a monk at the ninth level of Qi training. I say you all, don't grab it from me." A casual cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training shouted. road.

"It's just you, come on, it's easier for me to break through to the ninth level than you," another seventh-level casual cultivator said disdainfully.

"What kind of elixir is this Three Yuan Grass? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It's because you are ignorant. This Sanyuan Grass is the main medicine for refining the barrier-breaking pill. It is used by monks in the later stages of Qi training to break through bottlenecks." A casual cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training said showily.

. . . . .

Xu Zhiyu himself probably didn't expect that his mission would cause a sensation among the low-level casual cultivators in the mission hall. This is not to blame them. After all, Chalcedony Pill is very effective for people like them who are in the middle stage of Qi training. Generally, casual cultivators cannot afford pills. This kind of task of paying directly with pills can often make them more motivated.

Xu Zhiyu is now walking towards the area where casual cultivators set up stalls. A large area in the south of the city is reserved for casual cultivators to do business. There are no shops here, only squares drawn on the ground. Casual cultivators can place their things directly. There is one space per person on the ground. This kind of street stall business does not require the rent of a shop, so it is very popular among casual cultivators.

I saw that the place was crowded with people, and there were several monks standing in front of each stall. The voices of bargaining came and went, and there were all kinds of hawking from merchants.

"Let's learn about the ancestral skills. However, the skills of the golden elixir stage are just missing a little bit. What's left is the Qi training stage. Don't miss it if you pass by."

"The third-level healing elixir can protect you from death as long as you have one breath. Take a look."

"A copy of the treasure map..."
  "A spiritual weapon."

There is never a shortage of people to pick things up here, and of course you have to be discerning, as most of them are scraps made by low-level casual cultivators. Xu Zhiyu also came with the same purpose, hoping to gain something here.

But Xu Zhiyu walked around and saw many first-level high-grade elixirs, but he didn't have the barrier-breaking elixir he wanted. There were also various spiritual herbs, but there was no three-yuan grass. There were seeds, but water from far away could not quench the thirst for near.

Although disappointed, Xu Zhiyu continued shopping.
