(Xinchen is back from outside! Updates are presented! Although there is only one update today, Xinchen is not lazy! There are more than 5,000 words in this chapter, which is more than those authors whose name is "Two Updates", but each update is only 2,000 words!)

Jiang Chen was holding a porcelain bottle containing ten jade yellow pills in his hand, and was very happy. He did not go back to his room to take it immediately, but went to Tianmo City. He now made a plan for his future cultivation and decided to take pills as the main method, meditating and breathing as the auxiliary method. In this way, he could also spend more time on mastering spells.

However, if you have to take a lot of elixirs, you will naturally be inseparable from the acquisition of elixirs. With Jiang Chen's current elixir refining level, at least there is no major problem in refining Yuhuang Pills. The only thing you are concerned about is the source of the medicinal materials.

However, there is no shortcut to this point, so there is only one way to buy spirit stones. Jiang Chen is now poor and of course there is no spirit stone to purchase. But he thought of a method of "using alchemy to produce ingredient".

That is, sell part of the refined elixirs, and then use the sold spirit stones to buy medicinal materials to supply your own alchemy needs.

However, Jiang Chen did not plan to set up a stall in that market. Although the price could be sold at a higher price, it was a waste of time. He only started practicing at the age of seventeen, and it was too late to start.

Almost other cultivators started practicing at the age of five or six. By his age, those with poor levels were at the fifth and sixth levels of the Qi Refining Stage. Those with high levels were already in the late stage of Qi Refining, and some of them had better spiritual roots and even some of them had foundations built. However, he was only at the first level of Qi Refining Stage, which was really shameful.

Therefore, for Jiang Chen, time is money, efficiency is life. He naturally has to take a way to obtain elixirs and medicinal materials in a stable and quick way.

After Jiang Chen arrived at Tianmo City, he went straight to a shop called "Baicaotang". This "Baicaotang" is also the largest herb shop in Tianmo City, and is only engaged in the sales and acquisition of elixirs and refining materials. It is said that the backstage is a powerful elder in the Tianmo Sect. This news was revealed to him by the Senior Brother Bu Zheng, who was close to him.

The store has a complete range of herbs and elixirs, and is rich and has excellent reputation. As long as your goods have no quality problems, they will buy them, and they will not ask whether the goods come from or the customer's name. Similarly, as long as you have money and want to buy something, and they will definitely sell it if you have money.

Therefore, although the purchase price of this store is not high, many people are willing to do business with them. Especially some monks holding stolen goods in their hands. The reason is that this store never gets bad. Those small and medium-sized stores sell treasures to customers, and then send people to kill customers, grab the treasures, or after purchasing the treasures, killing people to silence them, many things have happened.

According to Bu Zheng, the reason why Baicaotang only makes elixirs and refining materials and does not do other business is also the result of the compromise between all forces in the Tianmo Sect for power and profit. After all, this kind of store that dares to collect stolen goods is extremely profitable. It seems that several other elders only make artifacts, talismans, spiritual beasts, formation flags and other items.

Jiang Chen chose this Baicaotang to sell elixirs and purchase medicinal materials because he was also interested in this point, so that he could ensure his safety as much as possible.

Moreover, if they do business with this Baicaotang for a long time, they will give themselves some discounts in the future. Although in the short term, they will suffer some losses. In the long term, it is more cost-effective and safer than choosing those small shops.

Jiang Chen first bought a set of clothes with a big hat from a mortal clothing store, completely covering his face and only revealing his eyes. Then he came to the door of Baicaotang and walked into the store with great strides.

After entering the store, he looked around and saw that the lobby in the store was very spacious, about 30 meters in radius. There were dozens of counters displayed in the hall, filled with various elixirs and medicinal materials. The shopkeepers were all wearing green clothes, looking very formal and elegant.

There are indeed many people in the store. At first glance, there are less than 30 people, and most of them are dressed like him. He doesn't look conspicuous inside.

"My fellow Taoist, I wonder if there is anything I want to sell to our store?" At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a man-like clothes, came forward and asked.

This guy's cultivation level is higher than that of Jiang Chen, and he actually reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage. Seeing Jiang Chen's outfit, he guessed that he was coming to sell things.

"Well! I have Yuhuang Pills to sell to your store. I wonder if you will buy them?" Jiang Chen asked.

The guy was a little amused. Yuhuang Pills were taken by low-level monks in the early stage of Qi Refining. Now the market price is only five pieces of spirit stone per pill. This guy actually dressed like this and went to the store to sell it, which made him think he was a big customer.

"Fellow Daoist, our store is always here. Although the Yuhuang Pill is of low value, it is still charged. However, the purchase price is three spirit stones per pill! I wonder how many pills you want to sell to our store?" The guy said seriously. Although he was disappointed, his attitude still did not change. This is also the basic quality of a shop assistant.

"Good guy, this in and out is a profit of 40%!" Jiang Chen was also slightly shocked after hearing the purchase price of Baicaotang.

"How much do you sell the medicinal materials for Yuhuang Pills?" He did not answer the guy's question, but asked again.

"One portion of Yuhuang Pills medicinal materials, our store sells one spirit stone. Do you want to buy medicinal materials?" The guy asked while muttering in his heart: This guy wants to sell Yuhuang Pills and buy medicinal materials from Yuhuang Pills. Could it be an alchemist? But seeing that his cultivation level is only one level of the Qi Refining Stage, why can't he be refined by himself? Maybe he bought it for someone else. He thought to himself.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction, took out a small porcelain bottle, and threw it to the shop clerk and said, "These are five jade yellow pills. You don't have to change the spirit stones to give me. Just give me the ingredients of fifteen jade yellow pills!"

His previous plan was: take half of the pills he refined, and half of them were replaced with medicinal materials, so that he could take the pills continuously. Maybe he could earn some spirit stones from them.

The guy didn't ask much. Such a small business was nothing to him. After checking the quality of these five Yuhuang pills, he quickly took out a herb bag from the backstage and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen penetrated his spiritual sense into it and confirmed that it was fresh fifteen portions of Yuhuang Pills. He satisfactorily put it into the storage bag, and then left Baicaotang through a back door...

After returning to the Heavenly Demon Sect, Jiang Chen came to the alchemy room of Demon Soul Peak. With the surprised gaze of the old man, he stuffed a spirit stone into his hand, received the key, and entered the alchemy room again...

In this way, Jiang Chen practiced the magic powers of controlling soul control, corpse control technique, ghost claw, ghost fire technique and other magic powers in the magic power of Demon Soul Peak during the day. At night, he was refining elixirs in the alchemy room of Demon Soul Peak. Then, during the gap between the Demon Order's energy recovery, he ran to the Baicaotang Pharmacy Store in Tianmo City to sell elixirs and purchase medicinal materials...

***************************************************************

Time flies, and more than two years have passed in a flash. Jiang Chen's cultivation level has also been improved from the first level of the Qi Refining Stage to the peak of the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. The alchemy materials, spirit stones, and elixirs in his hand are much more than when he first arrived at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage three years ago. Although it is not considered rich, it is at least not a poor person.

On that day, when he opened the room and was about to go to the alchemy room again, he suddenly felt the slightest restlessness of the spiritual power in his body, as if he was about to break through the bottleneck.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly returned to his room, closed the door, began to meditate and regulate his breathing, preparing to attack the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage. If he could really break through to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he would be a mid-stage Qi Refining Stage cultivator, which would have taken a big step forward.

So he sat on the cushion in the room and penetrated his spiritual sense into the jade slip of the first chapter of "The Demonic Art" issued by the sect. According to the exercises, he began to meditate and breathe, preparing to impact the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

The division of cultivators in the immortal cultivation world is divided into five stages: Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Golden Elixir Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and God Transformation Stage. If a cultivator can break through the peak of the God Transformation Stage, he will usher in the ascension catastrophe. I heard that if he can withstand the ascension catastrophe, he can ascend to a higher level of space for practice.

Of course, these things are still too far away from him. What Jiang Chen is thinking about now is just how to break through the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage.

During the Qi Refining Stage, the cultivation level of immortals is divided into nine levels. As long as they can condense qi and transform their souls into souls, their cultivation level will reach the first level of Qi Refining Stage. Subsequently, the cultivation of monks is to penetrate the eight main meridians in the human body.

When the spiritual power in the body accumulates to a certain level and is enough to use spiritual power to wash and open a meridian, the cultivation level will improve one level. For example, to advance from the first level of the Qi Refining Stage to the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, you need to open the first meridian. When all eight meridians are opened, it is the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. At this time, the monk can hit the last pass - to open the Ren and Du meridians. As long as the Ren and Du meridians are opened, the immortal cultivator can be reborn and enter the foundation-building stage, and become a monk who can fly with swords.

In front of you, if you want to break through the bottleneck and enter the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage, you must first accumulate a certain amount of spiritual power in your body and break through the third meridian before you can succeed.

The cave where Jiang Chen lives is where a spiritual vein is located. Practicing on the spiritual vein will result twice as much with half the effort. However, Jiang Chen's cave is a bit remote and does not have obvious amplification effect on breathing and practicing cultivation. It is also extremely boring to absorb spiritual energy and convert it into spiritual power.

Every time you swallow your breath, you need to take a deep breath, inhaling the air containing spiritual energy deeply into your lungs, and then use your spiritual consciousness to guide the turbid air in it, retain the spiritual energy and guide it into the dantian, and then convert it into spiritual power. This process is very slow and slow, so Jiang Chen rarely meditates and practices. Most of the time he relies on taking elixirs to improve his cultivation.

According to the introduction of the martial arts, he derived the spiritual power in his body from the sea of ​​consciousness in his dantian, and then guided it into the third meridian, and began to try to impact the bottleneck...

A trace of spiritual power continued to flow to the third meridian. The impurities and some turbid air that were originally in the meridian began to be driven out by the white spiritual power, and were discharged from the skin, mouth and nose along the blood vessels and trachea. Jiang Chen's body also began to emit a faint white light...

However, halfway through this process, Jiang Chen felt a little weak and felt that the impact bottleneck had encountered great resistance. This was also because he practiced too late. He started practicing at the age of seventeen. At this time, his meridians had solidified, and the difficulty of impacting bottleneck was much greater than that of others.

This is also the reason why most immortal cultivators start practicing at the age of five or six.

Because of the age of age, the vitality and toughness of the meridians are much greater, and it is easier to impact the bottleneck and wash and penetrate the meridians.

Although it is not unique to the cultivators who are only at the age of Xiang Jiang Chen who have begun to attack the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage, they are at least quite a few. Most of the other people at his age are in the late stage of Qi Refining Stage.

"Try taking a Yuhuang Pill!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.

He took out a yellow jade yellow pill from the small porcelain vase in his arms and swallowed it.

This Yuhuang Pill carries a strong fragrance, which turns into saliva as soon as it enters the mouth, and enters the abdomen with abundant spiritual power...

At this time, Jiang Chen immediately felt that the spiritual energy in his body increased greatly, allowing him to continue the process of impacting the bottleneck...

Two days later, after taking the eighth Yuhuang Pill, Jiang Chen felt a "boom!" in his body, and a diaphragm seemed to be broken, and his third meridian finally changed...

Jiang Chen felt that his body had been tempered in the strong wind. After the rich spiritual power penetrated his third meridian, it gathered towards the Dantian like a sea and rivers. When it flowed through the meridians throughout his body, he felt that his skin, muscles, and bones were as if they were immersed in a hot spring. These warm spiritual powers stimulated his body to slowly change.

Jiang Chen finally broke through the bottleneck, reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage, and became a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining Stage. Although he had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage at the age of twenty, the speed was already quite slow. However, if he had the qualifications of mixed spirit roots and started practicing at the age of seventeen, he had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage in just three years of cultivation, but it was already quite fast. Although this cultivation speed could not be compared with those disciples of Tianling and Holy Spirit roots, at least it was no longer comparable to those of the disciples of the Double Spirit roots.

After advancing to the middle stage of Qi Refining, in addition to the great increase in cultivation, Jiang Chen only felt that his greatest improvement was in his spiritual consciousness.

The secular mortals, including the so-called martial arts masters, feel that the outside world is full of five senses, namely vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch.

In addition to the above five senses that are much more sensitive than mortals, immortal cultivators also produce spiritual consciousnesses that appear based on the soul.

The sensing of the spiritual consciousness exceeds the scope of the body and extends to the world outside the body of the immortal cultivator. It breaks through the limitations of the five senses being easily blocked and can directly sense the situation in the outside world.

Jiang Chen is sitting upright on the ground now, but he can clearly feel any minor movements within thirty meters in the surrounding area. You must know that when he was in the first level of the Qi Refining Period, he could only feel the situation within 5 meters in the radius. Now he has expanded six times at once, and his magic casting distance has also extended six times.

He was also surprised, because the spiritual sense sensing distance of ordinary cultivators in the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage is only twenty feet away. In the Qi Refining Stage, under normal circumstances, every level of cultivation increases, the spiritual sense sensing distance will extend five feet away. Because he practices advanced skills such as "Ghost Yan Jue", he can integrate the improvement of his spiritual sense into alchemy, magic practice and meditation practice. Therefore, although he only has the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, his spiritual sense is equivalent to a cultivator in the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Jiang Chen thought to himself that if he kept practicing "Ghost Yan Jue", his spiritual consciousness would become stronger and stronger. As his cultivation level increases, his spiritual consciousness should be able to perceive a longer distance.

In the past two years, his greatest joy is that the green-haired zombie he caught in Xujia Village has completely restored his original strength.

The green-haired zombie was seriously injured at the time and looked only as high as a level 4 ghost soldier. After two years of rest and recuperation, it finally returned to its original level 6 ghost soldier.

What made Jiang Chen even more happy was that the green-haired zombie was still the peak strength of the level 6 ghost soldier, and it was very likely that it would break through to the level 7 ghost soldier within one or two years.

You should know that the seventh-level ghost soldier is equivalent to the seventh-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. In this way, even if you meet a cultivator in the late-stage Qi Refining Stage, you may not be able to fight.

At the same time, Jiang Chen's ghost fire technique and Netherworld Ghost Claw spells were also quite hot. Both spells were closely related to the spiritual consciousness. The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the more appropriate the control of the flying routes of ghost fire and ghost claws, the movement speed. Although his cultivation level was only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, Jiang Chen thought that his control of these two spells was definitely no worse than those of the disciples at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

"But, after I reach the mid-stage Qi Refining Stage, taking Yuhuang Pills will be very limited to my improvement in my cultivation. I need to take Qi Yang Pills. This is the elixir suitable for monks in the mid-stage Qi Refining Stage." Jiang Chen murmured: "But, although I have prepared some materials for Qi Yang Pills, I have not refined them yet. Now it should be time to go to the alchemy room to refine them!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen stood up and prepared to go out.

However, he smelled an unspeakable fishy smell on his body. He quickly took off his clothes and found that the skin of his body was covered with black impurities.

Jiang Chen hurriedly found the bathtub to clean it. After washing it for more than half an hour, his body became clean. He was refreshed and was in a state of ecstasy.

"Go to the alchemy room to try it! I have a 50% chance of success in refining Yuhuang Pills. The chance of success in refining Yangqi Pills may not be high at the beginning, but after being proficient, there should be at least about 20% success rate!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.

At this time, he put on the red and black uniform of the Heavenly Demon Sect, walked out of the door, and ran straight to the alchemy room...
