Gou Zai's journey to the heavens in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 60 Magical Powers

"Oh?"

Chen Ming suddenly became interested: "Where did you find the alchemy furnace and alchemy recipe that you previously auctioned from?"

"good."

The old man nodded and said, "That cave was left behind by a senior alchemist. I just explored the periphery, and I have already gained a lot."

“The key is what’s inside.”

When he said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Although I have lived for many years and my cultivation is acceptable, I have no attainments in the alchemy path."

"It just so happens that the cave is full of arrangements left by the alchemy seniors. If you don't have the alchemy path, you can't move forward at all."

"So, you are planning on me?"

Chen Ming smiled.

"good."

The old man nodded calmly: "My fellow Taoist bought an alchemy furnace and deliberately came to me to buy a foundation-building elixir recipe. I think he is quite accomplished in the alchemy path, so it would be a good choice for us to explore the cave together."

"As long as fellow Taoist is willing to explore that cave with me, I am willing to share the harvest with fellow Taoist. How about a 50-50 split?"

"Sounds good."

The smile on Chen Ming's face remained unchanged: "However, I am not interested in exploring any caves."

"Farewell!"

After the words fell, he walked directly towards the outside world without hesitation.

Behind him, the old man kept shouting, but Chen Ming was indifferent and had no intention of stopping at all.

For Chen Ming, although he might gain something by exploring the cave, it would be better for him to go to the Golden Snake Sword World.

As for the inheritance of alchemy, although it is indeed precious, you can always buy it as long as you have enough spiritual stones.

The most important thing is that this old guy is unreliable.

Judging from the strong evil aura on the other side, this guy is a ruthless character. He has probably been a guest cultivator many times, and he is doing the same kind of business as the four villains of the Huo family.

Go explore the cave with this kind of person, and you will know what will happen just by thinking about it.

Although Chen Ming was not afraid, he had no intention of asking for trouble, so he decisively left.

"Are you so vigilant?"

Looking at Chen Ming's leaving figure, the old man showed a sneer on his face: "But no matter how vigilant you are, you are still not going to get tricked."

"I can clearly see the rich aura of your body."

The old man is not a casual cultivator.

He had an adventure in his early years, and thus mastered a special magical power. He could observe the aura of spiritual objects and even see through the cultivation of others.

Just now, he used this magical power to observe, and was immediately shocked by the rich spiritual light on Chen Ming's body.

"With such a strong aura, this person has many authentic demonic beast inner elixirs in his body, and his net worth is at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones."

The old man's eyes showed a strong look of greed: "What's more important is that this person only has the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining."

His magical power can observe auras and identify monks' cultivation.

Although Chen Ming concealed himself very well, he still saw through his cultivation.

A little guy who only has the third level of Qi Refining, but has at least a spiritual object worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones on his body. Isn't this like a child holding gold in the busy city? If he doesn't take a bite, he will regret it.

Looking at Chen Ming who had left in the distance, the expression on the old man's face gradually returned to calm, and then he turned around and left the area.

Time passed slowly.

After buying the prescriptions of Qingxin Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill, Chen Ming did not do anything more. He just practiced quietly every day and tried to refine the pills.

However, this process is quite difficult.

Both the Qingxin Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill are second-level pill prescriptions, which are still a bit reluctant for Chen Ming today.

Relatively speaking, it was another pill that he successfully refined first.

That was the pure yuan elixir prescription purchased in the Secret Law Pavilion before. Now after such a long period of study, the elixir has been successfully refined.

However, because I have just mastered it, the rate of elixir formation is still a bit low, the cost is a bit too high, and it is a bit too wasteful.

Of course, for Chen Ming, this is no problem.

At this moment, his transaction with the Secret Law Pavilion has been initially established, and the elixirs he usually refines will be purchased by the Secret Law Pavilion.

Although the price is a little lower than that of takeout, the advantage is that it saves time and effort, and you don’t have to worry too much.

The spiritual stones Chen Ming earned from other elixirs were used to subsidize the refining of Pure Yuan Dan.

"Finally, the fourth level of Qi refining."

In the alchemy room, along with the fluctuations of spiritual energy, the mana in Chen Ming's body began to expand rapidly, rapidly continuing to improve from the original level, reaching the standard of the fourth level of Qi refining.

Chen Ming couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Compared to physical training, his Qi training was really slow to improve.

After all, the qualifications of low-grade spiritual roots are still a bit too poor, and the speed of promotion in normal practice cannot be compared with others.

The reason why Chen Ming was able to break through this time was all due to taking drugs.

Pure Yuan Dan can assist in improving one's cultivation level, and its effect at the Qi refining level is very significant.

Basically all the Pure Yuan Dan that Chen Ming refined during this period went into his own stomach.

The effect of this approach is very obvious, but the disadvantages also appear quickly.

Because a large amount of the same elixir was swallowed in a short period of time, the effectiveness of the Pure Yuan Dan was rapidly declining.

In addition to improving cultivation, there is also the issue of drug resistance.

Chen Ming made a rough estimate.

According to the current progress, by the time he reaches the fifth level of Qi Refining at most, the Pure Yuan Dan will probably lose its effect on him.

But to him, it didn't matter.

If it loses its effect, it loses its effect. The world of cultivation is very large, and there are more than just this kind of pills that can improve cultivation.

After the Pure Yuan Dan loses its effect, just look for other spiritual stones to refine it.

Chen Ming originally planned to practice quietly and wait until the fifth level of Qi Refining before doing other things.

But something happened that disrupted his plan.

"Someone outside has discovered a new alchemy inheritance?"

In the courtyard, Chen Ming suddenly became interested when looking at Chen Qiuling.

"Yes."

Chen Qiuling nodded and said with some emotion: "I heard that it was found in a ruins. It was left by a second-level alchemist senior. It is very precious."

"That casual cultivator is outside Qingshui City right now, hoping to exchange a Foundation Establishment Pill with him."

Her face was full of envy.

But this is also easy to understand.

For a casual cultivator like her, it is a great opportunity to obtain a copy of the alchemy inheritance left by a second-level alchemy master.

If you can exchange this alchemy inheritance for a foundation-building pill, you might be able to use this to advance to foundation-building in the future and become a dignified foundation-building monk.

It's a pity that this is not her opportunity after all. No matter how envious she is, she can only watch.

"Do you want to exchange it for a foundation-building pill?"

Chen Ming couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the news.

Naturally, he doesn't have the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But he has the inner elixir of monsters.

As the main material of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Demonic Beast Inner Pill can be directly exchanged with those major sects for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, a monster inner elixir can often be used to refine more than one foundation-building elixir.

Those big sects can even make a profit by using this method to recover the inner elixir of monsters.

In terms of rarity, a monster inner elixir is not much different from a foundation-building elixir.

As long as you exchange it, nine times out of ten you will agree.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming decided to make this trip.

After all, the inheritance of a second-level alchemy master is rare.

If you miss this time, you won’t know when the next time you want to meet is.

The next day, Chen Ming came to the cave where the loose cultivator had been and established contact with him using the mark left by him.

The whole process was very easy.

After the other party heard that Chen Ming was willing to exchange the demonic beast inner elixir, he immediately agreed and seemed quite excited in his words.

Chen Ming was not surprised by the other party's reaction.

In terms of pure value, the value of a monster inner elixir is higher than that of a second-level elixir inheritance.

As long as the other party is not stupid, he will definitely choose to agree.

The two parties agreed on a time and place to meet and reached an agreement.

But an accident happened at this time.

When Chen Ming walked out of the cave, huge mana fluctuations flickered suddenly.

The terrifying aura shook all directions.

In all directions, the originally silent magic circle was instantly activated.

Feeling the surging mana aura from all directions, Chen Ming couldn't help but frown.

He raised his head and looked not far away.

There was a figure standing there, and the aura within it gave him a vague feeling of familiarity.

That was the old man in black robe who had traded with him once before, and now he suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Oh it's you."

Chen Ming suddenly realized.

"Haha, fellow Taoist Xiao Yan, it's been a long time since I last saw you."

The old man in black robe was filled with evil energy. At this moment, his old face was full of smiles: "I haven't seen you for a few days. My Taoist friend Xiao is still as charming as ever. I really miss him."

"Fellow Taoist is really interested."

Standing on the spot, Chen Ming looked at the arrangements everywhere and couldn't help but sigh softly: "You know that I have always been interested in Alchemy, so you deliberately released the news to lead me into the trap here?"

"good."

The old man smiled: "How can it be possible to change the inheritance of the second-level alchemy to the foundation-building elixir? Others will probably disdain after hearing this news, and only fellow Taoists will come over."

"indeed so."

Chen Ming nodded: "I just don't understand. I concealed it very well that day. How did fellow Taoist know it was me?"

When he was dealing with the old man in front of him that day, he had already taken many measures. Not only did he cover up his aura, but he also changed his body shape a lot and even put on a mask.

According to common sense, even if he reaches this point, the other party should not remember who he is.

"As of now, I won't hide anything from fellow Taoists."

The old man sneered and said: "I had an adventure since I was a child. I developed a magical power in my early years that can see through all auras."

"Fellow Taoist's cover-up that day may not be a problem in the eyes of others, but in my eyes it is full of mistakes."

"It's actually a magical power?"

Chen Ming was immediately shocked.

As a monk, he has naturally heard of the name of magical powers.
