In the next few days, Secret Realm Perimeter will have no changes from before.
Rogue Cultivator came and went, and the faces in the booth area changed a few times, but the excitement did not diminish.
Every day, people spend ten yuan Spirit Stone to try their luck in the Secret Realm, and people come out of the Secret Realm every day. Some come back empty-handed, and some come back with a full load.
Li Yuan opened a shop selling talismans as usual, and in the evening Alchemy practiced at night.
News spreads quickly in the settlement. When Rogue Cultivator people gather together, they can't stop talking. Secret Realm There is always someone talking about things in the settlement.
Li Yuan When I go out to buy materials, I often hear a few words when passing by the stall area.
"... The man surnamed Zhou who went in yesterday came back, holding a century-old Red Sun Ginseng in his hand, which is worth at least two hundred Spirit Stone. He is so lucky."
"Good luck? He paid for it with his life. I heard that he ran into a First-Tier Superior-Grade Demon Beast and ran away for a long time before getting rid of it."
"Have you seen that Rogue Cultivator wearing a bamboo hat next door? He went in the day before yesterday and hasn't come out yet."
"If you haven't come out in three days, you don't have to wait."
"I heard that Qi Refining Seventh Layer went in the day before yesterday and tried to steal other people's things, but he was killed instead. He deserved it."
"Who knows if it was really a counter-attack? What if he took the initiative to launch a sneak attack? The dead can't speak."
Li Yuan listened to it for a few times without stopping. After buying the materials, he returned to the store.
Secret Realm is a big sieve. There are many people who go in, but less than half of them can come out completely.
The rest either died at the mouth of Demon Beast or at the hands of their peers. Occasionally, some were lucky enough to bring out valuable items and become rich overnight.
This morning, Li Yuan was drawing talisman in the shop, and the curtain at the door was opened.
A middle-aged monk wearing gray-blue robes walked in.
A gray-blue robe, with a Hidden Pattern belt tied around the waist, and a simplified pattern engraved on the belt buckle.
Li Family's clothing.
The person who came here was not covered up, he was wearing Li Family clothes, he had a decent face, he was in his forties, he had a short beard under his chin, his expression was kind, and he didn't look like someone looking for trouble.
Cultivation as Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
After entering the door, he first glanced around the shop, looked at the Talisman sample hanging on the wall, then turned to the Li Yuan behind the counter, and raised his hand.
"This fellow Daoist, I am Li Tong, Li Family External Affairs Hall."
Report your home.
Li Yuan put down Talisman Brush and nodded without saying anything in return.
Li Tong didn't care, smiled, and took two steps towards the counter.
"I heard that the Talisman from this shop are of good quality, especially Rejuvenation Talisman and Vajra Talisman, which have a good reputation among Rogue Cultivator. I came here to take a look today."
As he said that, his eyes paused on Li Yuan, then he tilted his head, and the fluctuations in spiritual power he felt swept over him gently.
Li Yuan's soul is powerful and can clearly feel the fluctuations of perception. It is much stronger than ordinary monks, even approaching Foundation Establishment.
Li Tong's brows moved slightly, and he frowned, showing a hint of doubt.
But he didn't ask further questions. He withdrew his senses and glanced in the direction of the inner room.
Old Sun is inside Alchemy, Pill Furnace The hot air seeps out from the crack in the door, carrying a faint medicinal fragrance.
Li Tong's senses scanned the inner room again and then took it back.
This time the doubts were more obvious.
Li Tong suppressed this doubt and looked at Li Yuan again, his tone unchanged. "Let's be honest, I'm not here to buy talismans."
"I heard that the two fellow Daoists are from the Wang Family's periphery?"
Li Yuan did not deny it.
"Wang Family, you two should also know the current situation over there."
Li Tong spread his hands and spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"After your Wang Qu died, Wang Family's power here was largely empty. To be honest, it's a pity that these two fellow Daoists stay here."
"Li Family has been recruiting skilled monks here. Whether it is Talisman Making or Alchemy, the salary is only higher than that offered by the Wang Family. If you are interested, you can understand the conditions first and do not rush to make a decision."
Old Sun heard the noise,
He walked out of the back room with medicinal powder still on his hands.
He looked at Li Tong's clothes and then at Li Yuan. He didn't say anything, but he kept thinking about something.
Li Yuan Before he could speak, footsteps came from outside.
The curtain was opened, and Wang Lu walked in.
His eyes fell on Li Tong as soon as he entered the door. There was no expression on his face, but he didn't stop and walked straight to the counter to stand.
When Li Tong saw Wang Lu, his smile faded and he cupped his hands, "Fellow Daoist Wang."
Wang Lu ignored him.
Li Tong was not embarrassed, and nodded to Li Yuan and Old Sun: "You two fellow Daoists will consider it, and Li is always welcome."
After saying that, he turned around and left the shop, the curtain swinging twice behind him.
Wang Lu watched him go away, then turned around.
"How many times have people from the Li Family been here?"
"First time." Li Yuan said.
Wang Lu hummed, didn't say much about it, and found a stool to sit down.
"Let me talk to the shop owner in advance."
Wang Lu took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve and placed it on the counter.
"After Uncle Qu's accident, no one is taking care of the business here for the time being. What it means is that the shop will continue to open, and Spirit Stone you and Old Sun will keep the money you make, and you don't have to hand it over."
Old Sun raised his eyebrows.
"When will it be restored?" Li Yuan asked.
"We'll wait until support arrives."
Wang Lu leaned back in his chair and said in a tired tone, "It will probably take a while."
"The family can't spare any manpower to send here now. Once Uncle Qu leaves, the entire perimeter will lose Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement's top combat power, and many arrangements will have to be readjusted."
He paused.
"Foundation Establishment monks cannot take action. This is Yuanyang Sect's rule. No one dares to break it. Therefore, Qi Refining Late Stage's masters are the ceiling. Uncle Qu's strength is top-notch among Qi Refining Late Stage, but it is gone now..."
Wang Lu shook his head before he finished speaking.
"You two stay here for now. If you can't get out Secret Realm Perimeter, you won't get out. I saw the Li Family people outside. They don't dare to do anything here, but it's hard to say if they are thirty miles away."
"What about you?" Li Yuan asked.
"I want to go back to Qinghe Market and bring back the information here." Wang Lu stood up and pushed the stool back to its original position, "If you have any questions, please contact Communication Talisman."
After Wang Lu left, the shop became quiet.
Old Sun stood at the door of the back room and rubbed the powder on his hands.
"Spirit Stone is all ours?"
"Hmm."
"Okay." Old Sun turned around and went back to the back room, Pill Furnace was still burning.
The days went on as usual.
During the day Talisman Making sells charms, and in the evening it is Alchemy's turn. Old Sun practices his Fiend Essence Pill in front of Main Furnace, and Li Yuan practices Qi Replenishment Pill with Secondary Furnace.
Qi Replenishment Pill and Pill Formula have been practicing for a while. Their technique is stable and the elixir formation rate is about 60%, and occasionally it can reach 70%.
That evening, Li Yuan sat in front of Secondary Furnace and put the last medicinal material into the furnace.
The stove lid shook slightly, and the aroma of medicine seeped out from the gaps.
Li Yuan slowly withdrew his spiritual power and opened the furnace cover.
Four pieces of Qi Replenishment Pill lie quietly at the bottom of the furnace, with uniform color and smooth surface. Four pieces were produced from six medicinal materials, with a nearly 70% elixir-forming rate.
The translucent text jumped below the field of vision.
[First-Order Alchemy Art--Entry Level(8/200)]
Entry Level.
After crossing this hurdle from never Entry Level to Entry Level, the most intuitive change is that the perception of the operation of the medicinal power in Pill Furnace has changed from "fuzzy" to clear. In the past, many opportunities that were grasped by feeling can now be clearly perceived where the convergence node of the medicinal power is, when to add fire, and when to close it.
The permanent condition for Alchemy Comprehension is that Alchemy Art reaches Proficiency.
Now Entry Level, there is still one stage left.
Don't worry, Alchemy Art is not the top priority. The main improvements now are cultivation and Talisman Crafting Art.
Li Yuan got up, returned to his room, and continued practicing.
