Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 165: Select the exercise method

Views:

Chen Lin returned to his residence in a depressed mood.

The protective shield on Mu Xingchen's body is a defensive treasure that the Alliance equipped him with specially for his safety. Even Jindan cultivators cannot break it easily, but the price is that he cannot move.

Although the opponent was fine and the monster was scared away by Li Xuanming, Dan Pavilion, one of the three major bases of the Righteous Alliance, not only did the enemy's hidden men appear, but they could also be attacked across the void. How could people feel safe

Li Xuanming issued a gag order, prohibiting the matter from being spread outside. Chen Lin naturally knew what to do and did not stay there any longer.

In the yard, the Sun siblings were looking out curiously. Even the mission hall collapsed, so it was impossible for them not to hear it.

Seeing this, Chen Lin scolded: "What are you looking at? If you want to live long in the world of immortal cultivation, remember not to be curious, otherwise you will die without knowing how!"

"Yes, Master!"

The two of them immediately looked miserable and nodded in agreement.

Sister Sun Yuner saw blood on Chen Lin's body, her little face was shocked, and she hurriedly ran forward to ask: "Master, what happened to you? Are you injured? Is it serious?"

Upon hearing this, my younger brother came over. Although he didn't say anything, there was worry in his eyes.

Chen Lin's heart warmed. He hadn't felt this kind of care in a long time.

But he immediately suppressed this emotion and said calmly: "It's nothing, just some damage to the meridians. Something happened in the mission hall. For the next period of time, you two should study hard in the yard and don't go out."

After saying this, without waiting for the siblings to say anything else, he walked straight into the yard and returned to the room upstairs.

It's not that he doesn't want to deal with these two siblings, but he doesn't want to leave too many causes and consequences. With his personality, he might move to another place one day. If he gets too involved, it will be troublesome.

But he will still teach what should be taught and give appropriate benefits.

After entering the training room, Chen Lin took off his robe and checked his body.

Although he said it lightly, in fact his body was badly injured, especially his right arm. The meridians inside were broken and blood oozed out, making the skin bright red.

Thinking back to the scene just now, he still felt sad.

The monster just casually swung its tentacles, and he almost got blown up despite his desperate efforts to block it. The gap between the two sides was like heaven and earth.

This was when he used the Golden Body Transformation. Although he had just mastered this magical power, both his power and physical strength would increase dramatically after the transformation.

After performing several cleansing spells to clean his body, Chen Lin put on a clean robe, swallowed a healing pill, and began to think while healing his wounds.

After considering for a long time and weighing the pros and cons in my mind, I decided to stay in the city.

Although they had just encountered danger, it should be an accidental phenomenon, and the tentacle monster did not appear out of thin air. Instead, the female cultivator of Qigong used some special method to open a space channel through self-detonation, which attracted the tentacle monster here.

In this case, as long as he has less contact with people and tries not to go around high-risk groups like Mu Xingchen, there should be no danger.

On the contrary, if he left the city and encountered a powerful monster like the tentacle monster, he would have no chance of survival.

After making the decision, Chen Lin took out another healing pill and swallowed it, then closed his eyes and stopped thinking.

For several days, he did not leave the yard until Mu Xingchen sent someone to tell him that everything was fine, and then he returned to the mission hall.

Last time, he didn't get the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill due to some unexpected events. This time, with Mu Xingchen as a guarantor, he received 300 copies at one time. He didn't dare to talk much with Mu Xingchen and hurried back.

Then he started to make the elixir.

It took him a full half month to use up all the materials, and he had so many Foundation Establishment Pills that he had almost no place to put them.

Of course, he couldn't hand them all in, so he only planned to hand in five, which was an above-normal success rate.

This way, you can get 1,150 merits, which should be enough to exchange for a foundation-building practice technique.

But in addition to the skills, some spells also need to be exchanged.

Now his defense ability is too low, and he has to rely on his body to resist, which is not acceptable. There is also the escape technique. When he reaches the foundation-building stage, he can also practice the escape technique. All kinds of escape techniques must be put on the agenda.

If you have some free time, you should also master some unconventional spells so that you won’t be at a loss when you need them.

The magical instruments also need to be updated.

Those in the Qi training stage are of no use. The only spiritual weapons that are still useful now are the Mountain-Splitting Seal, the Jade Bracelet, and the Shadow Dagger. There are quite a few of them, but they are all unconventional.

At least you need to get one flying sword that is mainly used for attack, and one that is mainly used for defense.

There is also Purple Gold Glazed Liquid, if you have it, you have to exchange it. The Golden Body Transformation is a magical power that is very compatible with the Vajra Body Refining Technique, and it is also very powerful, so you have to focus on practicing it.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin felt that more than a thousand merits might not even be enough.

The most important pill recipe has not been taken into account!

I couldn't help but feel a headache.

Arriving at the mission hall, Chen Lin handed in the Foundation Establishment Pill, causing a small commotion.

Refining five foundation-building pills from three hundred materials is already considered a high yield. If you can maintain this success rate, you don't have to do anything else and can live a comfortable life just by refining foundation-building pills.

There were even two alchemists who were handing in tasks and asked him if he had any tips on how to increase the success rate of making pills.

Chen Lin immediately decided that he would not refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future. Even if he did, he would only keep the success rate at 1%, otherwise it would be too ostentatious.

What he needs to do now is to turn himself into a transparent person, and it would be best if everyone forgets about him.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Lin still collected 300 sets of materials and then exchanged them for the recipe of Qingshuang Pill.

Just this one recipe costs five hundred merits, and the alliance has waived half the fee in order to incentivize new alchemists. The normal price is one thousand merits!

However, the exemption is only available once and is only applicable to Qingshuang Dan.

Because a large number of foundation-building pills were refined some time ago, the number of newly-established cultivators has reached a certain level, and there is a great demand for Qingshuang Pills, which are the cheapest and most common ingredients in foundation-building pills.

Although Luobitan is more effective, its raw materials are rare and it would be too wasteful to use it in the early stages of foundation building.

The merit he had just obtained was reduced by half in an instant, which made Chen Lin realize the difference between the foundation-building stage and the Qi-training stage.

In addition, the cultivation resources for the Foundation Establishment Period were even more scarce. Not only were they of high value, some of them could not even be purchased with spirit stones.

Chen Lin shook his head secretly and focused his attention on the pill recipe.

The success rate of Qingshuang Pill is normal, and there is no huge profit to be made.

On average, a normal alchemist can make one pill per furnace. If he only relies on his natural ability, he will not only not earn any merit for refining this pill, but will also be punished and have to pay out spirit stones.

Even so, it still needs to be refined.

We don’t know how long the alliance will last. If we don’t take this time to improve our proficiency, it would be a waste of such a great opportunity.

As for the merits, he might as well use the Foundation Establishment Pill to cover it up. There is no use keeping the dozens of pills in his storage bag.

After leaving the mission hall, Chen Lin did not return to his residence, but went directly to the merit redemption office.

This place is the core of the entire Danding City, where a large number of treasures are stored. It is guarded by the three deacons and elders in turn, and is under strict security.

After showing the identity token, he was let in.

There are a lot of people coming and going here, some with happy expressions and some with depressed looks.

The hall is also very large, with many reception windows. The receptionists are all wearing special Alliance uniforms. It feels a bit like returning to the service hall of the previous life.

There was a long table at the door with a row of books neatly placed on it. Chen Lin picked one up and saw the words "Merit Exchange Catalog" written on it.

It's done very professionally.

Chen Lin secretly praised that the alliance's management was still in place and everything was done well.

Unfortunately, the victory or defeat between immortal cultivators is not determined by these things, but by who has more high-end combat power.

No matter how well you manage or how popular you are, it is useless. One blow from the strongest can turn everything into nothing.

Now the Righteous Alliance and the Prayer God Cult are in a state of balance. Whoever can produce a super strong man first will win the final victory, and other means are just scraps.

This is also why he is not optimistic about the alliance.

The Qishen Sect is too weird. The speed of its rise is breathtaking. In just a few years, it has reached the level where it can fight against the entire Tianyuan cultivation world. Although it is the revival of the evil thoughts of the ancient demon, it is too fast.

At this rate, there’s no telling when a super giant demon with strength comparable to the legendary Yuanying Zhenjun will be born, and by then the cultivators will be completely unable to stop it.

Unless a Nascent Soul cultivator appears first among the cultivators, but no Nascent Soul True Lord has appeared in the Tianyuan cultivation world for thousands of years, so there is little hope.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt, so I simply stopped thinking about it, picked up an exchange manual, found a secluded corner and sat down to check it.

According to the index, go directly to the exercises section.

The catalog of exercises is vast, but most of them are for the Qi training stage. There are only ten exercises for the foundation building stage, and there is not a single exercise for the Golden Core stage.

The price is also very expensive.

The cheapest one costs two thousand merits, which makes Chen Lin grin.

But no matter what, there is finally a way to obtain it.

Kung Fu has always been a secret of major sects. If it were not for this special period, if he wanted to obtain the foundation-building technique, he would probably have to join a sect to obtain it.

The technique that can gain two thousand merits is called Ningling Jue. It has no restrictions on spiritual roots. Any kind of spiritual roots can be used to practice it. It is easy to get started and there are basically no requirements for qualifications.

This made Chen Lin's eyes light up.

But when he looked down again, he shook his head helplessly.

The requirements are low, but the disadvantages are also great.

Not only is the cultivated magic power of low purity and weak power, but it is also difficult to break through the bottleneck, especially the chance of advancing to the Golden Elixir stage is extremely low.

Naturally, Chen Lin would not choose such a method. He still had ambitions for the Golden Elixir and did not want to be stuck in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With a sigh, I could only continue watching other things.

In the end, he was interested in two techniques and hesitated about which one to choose.

The others all have various such prerequisites that he cannot meet.

For example, one of the skills is the Twin Rain and Dew Skill, which is good in all aspects and can be exchanged for merits. However, it requires a cultivator with both earth and wood spiritual roots to practice, so he can only watch helplessly.
