Chapter 145 Ten years!

The true meaning of an alchemist is to find happiness for fellow Taoists.

Shen Lian realized this a long time ago.

There are a large number of Qi-training immortals in Nanya Immortal City, including boatmen, fishermen... There are all kinds of professions. If you do a good job of trading with these cultivators, you can still make a lot of money.

In the past month when he was wandering around the city, he saw too many numbness in the lower-level immortal world, which was similar to when he was in Wanxinghai, but it was more prominent in Nanya Immortal City.

Even if you make a living in a big immortal city like Nanya, for the lower-level cultivators, it is just a change of place to live in the lowest-level low-rise house and be oppressed.

What's wrong with buying a day's happiness with a dozen spirit stones?

Ahem... Of course these are nonsense.

The reason why Shen Lian does not sell high-level pills is to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He is an outsider, and he just wants to enjoy the stability in the immortal city in peace and stability, and it would be even better if he can earn some spirit stones by the way.

Once he sells a large number of second-level pills, there will be too many mixed forces in Nanya Xiancheng, and it will be easy for them to target him.

If he endures it at that time, he will feel depressed. If he doesn't endure it, he will have to run away again.

Sell pills on the first floor and practice on the second floor.

Huaha Street is just at the junction of land and water, and the sea is below the pill shop.

Moreover, when the Xiancheng was built, the bottom of this half of the city facing the sea was deliberately dug at least a hundred feet deep, and there was an underwater formation.

There are also some city buildings underwater that can absorb the tidal power in the ocean. It is a place where many cultivators practice.

A fellow Taoist asked if anyone would dump feces and urine. You can rest assured that the Xiancheng has a rule that whoever dares to dump it will be drowned.

Otherwise, why would Shen Lian choose this location to open a pill shop.

He chose this place because he considered whether he could spy on the loopholes in the Xiancheng defense in the future and find an emergency exit for himself.

Or, find an inconspicuous place and open another defensive cave.

…

Half a year after the pill was spread out, Sanqian, who had absorbed two demon pills in a row, finally woke up from his silence.

Although he had not yet been promoted to the second level, a faint golden edge appeared on his green scales.

The originally protruding forehead bone was more majestic than before.

"Master..."

"Brother Dahei..."

In the spirit beast bracelet, Sanqian felt Shen Lian's divine sense falling in, and he shook his body and spoke.

Shen Lian's divine sense carefully examined Sanqian's body, and Sanqian's external aura did not change much compared to before.

But in one section of the fish spine in his body, there was a dragon's aura hidden.

The fish bone with dragon's aura was only a few inches long, but it gave Sanqian the potential to be reborn.

According to the original manager, Sanqian's mother was a quasi-third-level demon beast, but now it seems that most of her realm has reached the peak of the second level, and her bloodline power is still a little worse.

For monsters, if they eat certain spiritual objects, they can indeed forcefully break through the small levels within the great realm.

This is also true for humans.

But this promotion comes from external forces and does not represent the improvement of their own potential.

Just like the boatmen outside, they earn five spiritual stones a day, every day, but one day they pick up ten at the dock, but such good things don't happen every day.

"Sanqian will give you another demon pill, and you can be promoted to a second-level monster."

At present, Shen Lian has more than a dozen second-level demon pills in his hand, all of which were single monsters killed by chance during the crossing of the northern part of the Sea Monster Islands.

Sanqian can be promoted with demon pills, big black son.

"Master... don't."

...

Off the coast of Nanya.

Shen Lian chose an island where mortals live. Wherever there are mortals living, it means that the spiritual energy is exhausted, far away from the main channel and other factors.

The environment of the current cultivation world is very different from that of ancient times or even the Middle Ages.

In ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was sufficient, and there were spiritual opportunities everywhere, so there was no need to find a blessed place to practice.

In the Middle Ages, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted, the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth was still enough for cultivators to practice.

Now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been further exhausted. Although there is still spiritual energy in most areas of the cultivation world, it is no longer enough for cultivators to practice.

The environment that was originally full of spiritual lands has transformed into a regional cultivation environment centered on spiritual veins.

The higher the grade of the spiritual veins here, the larger the range of spiritual energy. The lower the grade of the spiritual veins, the smaller the range of spiritual energy suitable for cultivation.

This has caused even Qi-training cultivators to choose the market and the fairy city as their place of practice.

Although the vast ocean land has not yet become a place of absolute spirituality, it is only enough for small cultivators of the first and second levels of Qi training to absorb and refine.

If the strength is a little higher, you have to find a place with richer spiritual energy.

Otherwise, you need to take pills to practice. As long as the pills are enough, the spiritual environment can be ignored directly.

Shen Lian belongs to this category. Because the quality of his own refining is super good, even if he practices on the second-level spiritual vein, it is not as good as swallowing pills.

Therefore, he has been practicing by swallowing pills for these years, which is equivalent to practicing with a spiritual vein.

The environment of the selected island is not complicated. Almost all of it is low mountains. Only in the flat position on the edge are there towns built.

After not finding an underground cave, Shen Lian went directly into a hidden basin after choosing a circle. The Thousand Illusions Shadow Formation was arranged outside.

The formation and the terrain environment of the hills and mountains are perfectly integrated. From the outside, there is no difference at all.

After setting up the phantom array, placing the small five-element array, and finally releasing the puppet talisman, the entire cave was initially completed.

"Owner……"

Released Sanqian and Dahei from the spirit beast bracelets.

The two first-level spirit beasts, even if they were released in Nanya Immortal City, would not be impressive.

The main reason is that Shen Lian wants to loosen the muscles and bones of Daheisong and try the effectiveness of Tianyan Earth Domain.

Naturally, this matter cannot be done in Nanya Fairy City.

A pool of water was dug in the cave, and Sanqian was allowed to have fun in it for a while. After sleeping for several years, it was completely suffocated.

Dahei was at the edge of the waterhole, using his big pliers to carry out quantitative engineering on Sanqian's waterhole.

"Porlu porlu..."

In the pool, Sanqian's head popped up and spit out a mouthful of water in front of Dahei. Dahei grabbed a stone with pliers and smashed it over.

Two little beasts, you and I fight each other.

Dahei finally got angry and jumped into the water. He held Sanqian down with two big pliers and beat him wildly.

"I won't be able to defeat you in the future, now I have to fight back first."

While beating, Dahei was mumbling.

"It's okay. Brother Dahei will have a wife in the future, and I will help you protect her..."

After hearing this, the big black pliers became more powerful.

"I treat you as my brother, but you want to..."

"Brother Dahei, I am, I am..."

The big pincers banged on the golden scales, and Sanqian didn't resist. After several years of sleeping and absorbing two demon pills, its strength had already surpassed Dahei's.

Dahei also reacted.

This is the old girl.

…

As for the fight between the two spiritual beasts, Shen Lian lay on the stone couch nearby and watched. When the two little guys had enough trouble, he caught Dahei.

"Master, you, you..."

Being caught in Shen Lian's hand, Dahei shrank up his two rows of long legs. When he saw the five-color spiritual energy in Shen Lian's other hand, he trembled all over.

The five-color spiritual power first glowed with red-gold flames, and then turned into earthy yellow.

"Come, let me loosen your muscles and bones first. How can you advance to the second level if you are so weak?"

The spiritual power glowing with earthy yellow light fell towards Dahei's back.

Dahei was so frightened that his two black eyes were sunken.

"Why are you shaking?"

As his first spiritual beast that led him out of the mountains thousands of miles away, Shen Lian naturally wanted to cultivate it.

Otherwise, a monster with such low bloodline would have been thrown away by others.

He released a little bit of earth spiritual power and landed on Dahei's back.

Waves of mysterious energy seeped into Dahei's body along the black carapace.

Dahei, who was shrinking his eyes and shaking all over, felt that the scene of cracking open like a nightmare did not appear, and he suddenly reacted.

As an earth attribute monster, it has a natural affinity for earth and stone.

At this moment, although the earth element's spiritual power submerged in the body caused severe pain to his flesh and blood, it was much better than the scene where it had been continuously broken apart.

Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts enveloped every inch of Dahei's flesh and blood, and he sensed that the earth spiritual power that blessed the Tianyan Earth Territory had indeed changed after entering Dahei's body.

What really works is not the earth spiritual power, but the mystery of the Tianyan earth domain contained in the earth spiritual power, which is absorbed into the body by Dahei Zizi.

"Master, it hurts. It's about to burst."

As Dahei was wrapped in khaki spiritual power, tingling pain spread throughout his body.

Even if Shen Lian deliberately controlled it, it was still the foundation-building spiritual power.

Moreover, he is currently unable to mobilize the Tianyan Earth Territory alone, and can only use the earth element's spiritual power to output the mystery of the Tianyan Earth Territory.

If Dahei wants to absorb more mysteries, he can only increase the output of earth element spiritual power.

In addition, after Dahei's flesh and blood absorbed the mystery, its metabolism accelerated, which also caused its body to crack again.

"It's cracked."

Putting Dahei down, who was enveloped by the earth element's spiritual power, and seeing Dahei howling on the ground, Shen Lian originally thought about taking out the elixir to help him repair his body.

But he felt that the big black crack was open, and a little bit of viscous liquid seeped out from the cracks.

This made him stop taking the elixir.

Every beast has its destiny, and it seems that Dahei is bound to endure this suffering.

Although he did not mobilize much of the mysteries of the Tianyan Earth Domain, Shen Lian also felt a sense of fatigue. He put Dahei into the spirit beast bracelet, sat up cross-legged and began to adjust his breath.

After staying in this Anwen Cave for more than half a month and baptizing Dahei in the Tianyan Earth Territory three times, Shen Lian returned to Nanya Immortal City.

The transformation of bloodline, like cultivation, is a long-term process.

Dahei's small body is too weak, so he needs to come in little by little.

After returning to Immortal City, Shen Lian became the shopkeeper of Benxin Pill Shop. He used to sell pills, inquire about the news in Immortal City, see if there were any elixirs he needed, etc.

The security in the fairy city is quite good. Every day, monks ride on spirit boats and fly over the fairy city. Monks who dare to fight in the city will be suppressed directly.

…

When he came to Nanya Fairy City, Shen Lian made up his mind to stay here for a while to let himself settle.

Unexpectedly, this accumulation took ten years.

For ten years, he ran the Benxin Alchemy Shop, following the path of a lower-level ordinary qi-training monk, and tried not to conflict with others during the operation.

For the same elixir, he would sell it at the market price, and sell the same quality as others, sometimes even lowering the quality.

For a small shop, it is normal for the quality of the elixir to be poor.

After a long time, other nearby elixir shops no longer paid much attention to Benxin elixir shop after observing it for a period of time.

There are elixirs to sell together, but everyone must maintain a common circle of interests.

Shen Lian, who follows the crowd, although there were some minor frictions at the beginning, but generally passed smoothly.

After the shop got on the right track, he began to change his identity to buy spiritual medicines for body refining and cultivation, and refine the elixir he needed for his own cultivation.

Occasionally, he closed the shop for ten days or half a month and went out to buy herbs.

For a small business, it is okay to go out and buy cheap herbs by yourself.

Profits are all made by thrift.

Taking advantage of the gaps when he went out, he completed the experiment on Dahei step by step, and the effect was very good.

Although the bloodline metamorphosis is slow, Dahei's bloodline is indeed improving.

In this way, Dahei and Sanqian were both promoted to the level of second-level monsters.

During the experiment on Dahei, Shen Lian also mobilized the mystery of Tianyan Fire Domain to nourish the purchased black phoenix eggs.

After several years of nurturing, Erwan really recovered some of his original vitality.

By the way, Erwan is the black phoenix.

Although Erwan is still in the eggshell, Shen Lian, as a little master of naming, borrowed from Sanqian's naming experience and named his third fire-type spirit beast, the black phoenix, Erwan.

Dahei, Sanqian, Erwan.

These names seem to be from the same family at first glance.

After noticing that Erwan's original vitality had recovered, he was not in a hurry to hatch it, but nurtured it with Tianyan Fire Domain every once in a while, wanting to see if he could make his bloodline go further in the eggshell.

The descendants of the third-level black phoenix bloodline do not say that they can be promoted to the third level 100%, but that the probability of the descendants being promoted to the third level is very high.

What Shen Lian has to do is to increase this probability infinitely to 80%, 90%, or even 100%.

…

Benxin Dan Shop, second floor.

[Calm down, enlightenment point +1]

[God has no external things, divine enlightenment point +1]

[Calm down, enlightenment point +1]

…

[Calm down, enlightenment point +1]

…

Shen Lian woke up from his practice, and there was an empty pill bottle in front of him.

The bottle still exuded a trace of medicinal power.

This is Qianji Powder for tempering the body, which is made from a second-level upper-grade spiritual medicine Qianrong Yuji Teng as the main medicine.

In order to bid for this spiritual medicine, Shen Lian spent 43,000 spiritual stones at the auction.

In total, including other auxiliary medicines, the total price of this body-refining pill is close to 70,000 spiritual stones.

But the effect is also very good, allowing his physical cultivation realm to reach the solidity comparable to that of a second-level upper-grade magic weapon.
