Herb Garden's aura concentration is still abundant.
Array Although most of it was broken into pieces, the spiritual vein itself was not affected, and the spiritual energy seeping up from the ground was still so thick.
Spiritual power starts from the Dantian and travels throughout the body along the meridians. The main meridians, branch meridians, and micro meridians operate simultaneously, and there is almost no blockage when the spiritual power flows through each meridians.
At the last section of Origin Return Backflow, when the spiritual power gathered from the ends and returned to the Dantian, he did not pause at the entrance like before, but slid directly in.
The spiritual power rotates in a circle inside the Dantian.
The spiritual power in the three levels of meridians accelerated almost simultaneously, and the circulation efficiency jumped a step higher at that moment.
[Cultivation Method: Hundred Meridians Origin Return Art-Minor Accomplishment(0/1600)]
Minor Accomplishment.
The speed of Zhoutian's circulation is nearly 30% faster than that of Mastery. There is almost no speed difference between the main meridians and the micro meridians of spiritual power.
Later in the night it was Li Yuan's turn to be on duty.
He walked out of the stone house and walked around Herb Garden. The night was dark, and the broken array Dharma Light flickered faintly in the distance. The direction of the mountain forest was very quiet, nothing unusual.
Just before dawn, footsteps were heard from the direction of the col.
A figure walked in crookedly.
Cultivator Feng.
His left arm was hanging by his side, the cuffs were torn into strips, and the robe on his right shoulder was burnt. His face was gray, his lips were chapped, and his walking steps were as frivolous as walking on cotton.
But people are alive.
Old Zhao was the first to greet him and put his right arm on his shoulder.
Cultivator Feng leaned against Old Zhao and panted for a long time, and said a few words intermittently. He ran away and ran towards the east hillside. The two Qi Refining Late Stage chased him for a while, but failed to catch up, so they went back to carry medicinal materials. He hid in the mountains for most of the night before he dared to come back.
Manager Wang thrust a bottle of Medicinal Pill into his hand and asked someone to help him rest.
At noon the next day, another person came from the direction of Aokou.
Four monks. The leader, Qi Refining Seventh Layer, has a square face and Token of the Wang Family Steward hanging on his waist. Followed by three Qi Refining Fifth Layer, one of whom is carrying a storage bag.
Manager Wang went up to him and chatted for a few words.
Wang Family Steward glanced at the damaged area of Herb Garden, asked a few questions about the situation, and then looked at Li Yuan.
"Array Eye is in your hands?"
Li Yuan took out the off-white stone from the storage bag and handed it over.
Wang Family Steward turned it over, looked at the remaining Spirit Pattern on the bottom, and put it into the storage bag.
"Take it back and study it."
Then he lowered his voice and said a few words to the people present.
"The group that attacked Herb Garden found out that there was a roaming Bandit Cultivator gang outside Yunyang Marketplace, six people, led by two Qi Refining Late Stage."
He paused.
"I feel ashamed to say that these Bandit Cultivators were hired by a Elder in our family."
He said he was ashamed, but monk Wang Family had a trace of schadenfreude on his face.
"Originally, I was doing foreign affairs for the family, but the leader Bandit Cultivator suddenly had other ideas."
Cultivator Zhou's face changed slightly.
Wang Family Steward continues.
"But there is something wrong with the leader of this group of people. He has reached the level of Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement and is about to touch the edge of Foundation Establishment. The people who are close to Foundation Establishment have different ideas and think they can help Wang Family couldn't save enough resources for Foundation Establishment through his part-time job, so he decided to try it out on his own. Several of the rare medicinal materials in Herb Garden were the materials for Foundation Establishment pills, and he set his sights on them."
Manager Wang stood nearby and listened, with no expression on his face.
After the Wang Family Steward explained the situation, he arranged for a few people to temporarily stay at Herb Garden to assist in the defense, and then left with Array Eye.
That afternoon, Li Yuan packed up his things, said hello to Manager Wang, and left Herb Garden to return to the Talisman Hall.
After walking along the mountain path for a long time, the courtyard of the Talisman Hall appeared in front of us.
Go back to the stone house where you live and close the door.
Li Yuan did not unfold Talisman Paper, and did not take out Talisman Brush.
Sit cross-legged on the bed and run Spirit Guiding Art.
Qi Gathering Talisman is hung on Equipment Slot, and the condition for permanentization is to practice one hundred weekly days within thirty-six hours. After Hundred Meridians Origin Return Art Minor Accomplishment, the weekly movement speed is nearly 30% faster, and the time is much more generous than before.
Spiritual energy pours into the body, Pure Spirit Power removes impurities, and the spiritual energy condenses and sinks into the Dantian.
One Sunday, two Sundays, three Sundays.
As we practiced till evening, there were two knocks on the door outside the stone house.
"Li Yuan, it's me."
Old Sun's voice.
Li Yuan opened his eyes, stood up and opened the door.
Old Sun was standing at the door, without an apron, and wearing a pair of half-worn short brown clothes, as if he had come here on a special trip.
He peeked into the room and confirmed that there was only Li Yuan. He walked in and sat down on the stool next to the table.
"I heard that something happened to you at Herb Garden?"
"Hmm."
Li Yuan sat down on the bed and briefly told the story.
Six Bandit Cultivator, two Qi Refining Late Stage, Array were broken, rare medicinal materials were uprooted, and Cultivator Feng almost didn't come back.
Old Sun Listened, tapping his fingers on the table.
When Li Yuan finished speaking, Old Sun did not answer immediately and tilted his head to think for a while.
"No wonder."
"No wonder."
"No wonder the higher-ups are checking Alchemist's information." Old Sun took his hand back from the table and leaned on the back of the chair.
He rubbed his chin.
"Alchemy Hall was just asking about a person over there. His surname is He, a Alchemy master who works at Yunyang Marketplace."
Li Yuan looked at him.
Old Sun put his elbows on the edge of the table and moved closer.
"This person can refine Foundation Establishment pill."
He held up a finger.
"And it's the kind of practice where you just pay money. You don't pick the client or ask where they are from. You come to the door with the materials and Spirit Stone. As long as the items are ready and the price is paid, he will practice for you. It doesn't matter whether you are a disciple of Rogue Cultivator, Lineage or something else, you will be treated equally."
Old Sun Put your finger down.
"Yunyang Marketplace There are several Alchemist who can refine Foundation Establishment elixirs, but most of them select people. Some only accept regular customers, some have to verify their identity and background, and some simply only work for the sect and the big Lineage. Alchemist He is the only one who doesn't care about anything."
He patted his thigh.
"I have some friendship with him. When I was in Yunyang Marketplace before, I was lucky enough to find an herb that could strengthen Spirit Transformation's soul, and the effect was pretty good. I took that herb to him and used the herb in exchange for two Alchemy skills. I learned a few tricks."
"What happened next?"
"Later I couldn't survive in Yunyang Marketplace." Old Sun said, "There are so many Alchemist refiners there, the competition is too strong. Business is getting worse and worse."
He rubbed his fingers.
"I ran to Loose Cultivator Market. Loose Cultivator Market was small, and there was no decent Alchemist. After I went there, I was able to eat for a while. Then I felt that this Rogue Cultivator was unreliable. So I ran away again, and here we are Qinghe Market."
Old Sun paused here.
"Where is Alchemist He?" Li Yuan asked.
"I don't know, but I guess I have been at Yunyang Marketplace and haven't moved." Old Sun shook his head. "A master Alchemy of that level, in Yunyang Marketplace has a fixed shop and customer base, so you won't run around like me. Moreover, Yunyang Marketplace is Yuanyang Sect's territory, and the security is much better than outside, so there is no reason to leave."
Li Yuan hummed.
Old Sun took his hand back from the edge of the table and stood up.
"The above people were checking Alchemist He's information. I guess they were thinking about who Alchemy would be after that Bandit Cultivator group stole the medicinal materials."
He took two steps toward the door, then looked back at Li Yuan.
"Then the Bandit Cultivator leader is about to Foundation Establishment and steal the materials for the Foundation Establishment elixir. The next step must be to find someone Alchemy. The only one around here who can refine the Foundation Establishment elixir and doesn't choose his clients is Alchemist He."
He dusted himself off.
"This matter has nothing to do with us, I'm just telling you casually."
"By the way, do you want more Fiend Essence Pill? I recently saved up another batch."
"If you want. Send it to me next time."
Old Sun sighed, opened the door and went out.
Li Yuan Close the door, return to the bed and sit down.
Close your eyes and run Spirit Guiding Art.
Spiritual energy pours into the body and sinks into the Dantian.
The progress of Qi Gathering Talisman's permanentization is progressing.
One Sunday, two Sundays.
The sky outside the window slowly darkened. The residential area of the Talisman Hall was so quiet that only the occasional sound of footsteps passing by was left.
Li Yuan Close your eyes, breathe evenly, and your spiritual power is circulating in your body over and over again.
