NOVEL NEXT Chapter 75 No bottleneck
It was an hour after he left Fatty Chen's place and returned to his residence.
The harvest this time was undoubtedly huge, at least for the current Lu Shi. Fatty Chen gave him a lot of experience in alchemy, such as the identification of the properties of drugs, the judgment of good and bad, the process of making pills, and Alchemy techniques and so on.
The knowledge is messy, but it is systematic. This shows that although Fatty Chen's alchemy skills may not seem to be high, he is indeed good at it.
What Lu Shi has to do now is to work hard to digest this knowledge and transform it into his own knowledge. This process takes time, and it happens that what Lu Shi lacks most is time.
However, in recent times, Lu Shi's main focus must be on cultivation. Now that he has reached the peak of the second level of Qi Refining and is only a hair away from the third level of Qi Refining, Lu Shi naturally has to seize this opportunity first.
He had an inexplicable feeling that after he came to Luo Family Fairy Square and tested his spiritual root qualifications, he felt that his spiritual root potential was definitely not as bad as it seemed.
First of all, what Lu Shi can be sure of is that he does not have four spiritual roots, but five spiritual roots. With the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, he can still maintain such a fast cultivation speed. So, does he have some special physique? It’s a bit hard to say.
Lu Shi felt that there was a certain probability that he was related to the Five Elements spirit body, but he thought it was too unbelievable and always had some doubts.
Today, Lu Shi planned to try to see if he could directly break through to the third level of Qi Refining. If he could break through directly without any bottleneck, then there would be something to say.
The last time he broke through from the first level of Qi Refining to the current second level of Qi Refining, it was said to be a bottleneck, but it was just a natural breakthrough after reaching the peak of the first level of Qi Refining. Lu Shi didn't feel how difficult it was at that time, even with just one transformed spirit. Tango's comes naturally.
Now, Lu Shi sat cross-legged on the futon in his residence, also swallowed a spirit-transforming pill, closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in the true energy in his body.
Time passed, and in about half a quarter of an hour, the power of the Spiritual Transformation Pill had been completely digested. The true energy was growing, and at the same time it was also undergoing qualitative changes little by little, changing in the direction of more and stronger things.
This time was not long. Lu Shi only felt his body tense up, and then loosen up. After regaining consciousness, he noticed that the true energy in his body, both in quality and quantity, had been significantly improved. .
That kind of improvement is visible to the naked eye, just because Lu Shi is now at the third level of Qi Refining.
"Hush...huh..."
Lu Shi took a deep breath, his expression was somewhat strange.
"I really don't feel the bottleneck, which is a good thing for me, but if it continues like this, I will definitely encounter shackles after I break through the Nascent Soul stage, and it may not be so easy to break through by then."
Thinking of this, Lu Shi suddenly smiled again.
"We are only at the third level of Qi refining now, how could we think so far ahead?"
Lu Shi felt that his worries were a bit unfounded. If he could really get to that point, there would definitely be other ways.
But now, he is already a monk at the third level of Qi Refining. It has been less than a month since he entered the practice, and he has already passed two levels in a row. Even Lu Shi feels that this speed is a bit exaggerated.
"You need to hide it well and keep a low profile."
Lu Shi decided not to go out recently and to sort out what he had learned, especially in alchemy.
In this way, more than half a month has passed.
The growth of Lingmi is gratifying. The whole process from budding to full bloom has gone smoothly without any insect pests. Under Lu Shi's careful care, it will be ready for harvest in more than a month.
Although Lu Shi is not short of the income from the sale of spiritual rice, the identity of Ling Nong is now a good cover for Lu Shi, which can at least allow Lu Shi to settle down in such a large immortal workshop.
During this period of time, Lu Shi would go to Fatty Chen's place once a day to learn alchemy from him. This was different from practicing alchemy. Although he could achieve results by trying on his own, he would always take some detours. If someone taught him, he could make it faster. On many.
After all, alchemy is a matter of experience, and cultivation varies from person to person.
With the help of Fatty Chen's alchemy furnace, Lu Shi was now able to refine three low-grade elixirs, namely Health-nurturing Pill, Qi-Breaking Pill, and Baicao Pill, and the elixir-making rate was not low, which really surprised Fatty Chen. This can be regarded as a confirmation of Lu Shi's amazing understanding.
Regarding his own understanding, Lu Shi was indeed confident, just like his physical constitution. Although he didn't know whether it was the result of time travel, having such potential was not a bad thing in itself.
The time agreed with Fatty Chen has ended. All that is left to do is digest and summarize the alchemy knowledge learned from Fatty Chen. After all, Fatty Chen was not a famous alchemist, so the alchemy knowledge he taught was naturally not too advanced, and it was not too difficult to understand.
Cultivation is progressing steadily, and I will gain something almost every day. There is a smooth feeling of accumulating little and adding up.
Lu Shi was not surprised by this, and became more and more convinced that his physique was unusual, but naturally he would not tell outsiders about this kind of thing.
Therefore, in order to cover up his situation, Lu Shi went to the Zhenbao Building on the day he broke through to the third level of Qi Refining and spent twenty spiritual stones to buy two Hidden Qi Talismans and put them on him.
This spiritual talisman is of the first level and has little effect. The only function it can play is to cover one's own aura. It is not just hiding, but it can prevent others from seeing through the level of one's true cultivation before the sixth level of Qi refining. It is just suitable for Lu Shi to use.
It was precisely because of this talisman that Lu Shi could boldly go to Fatty Chen to learn from him.
After all, in less than a month, he broke through two levels of the pass. It was uncertain whether it was amazing, but it was enough to attract attention. Lu Shi naturally didn't want any accidents to happen, so before he had a certain amount of strength, he naturally kept a low profile.
Now what Lu Shi does every day is to go to the alchemy building and spend three spiritual stones to rent an alchemy furnace for refining alchemy.
The Alchemy House is a property of the Luo family. It mainly sells elixirs, but also rents and sells alchemy furnaces to outsiders. A magic weapon-level alchemy furnace requires at least 300 spiritual stones, but Lu Shi can get it. But if someone noticed it, it would be a bit unsightly.
Out of caution, Lu Shi chose to rent.
In addition to selling elixirs, the Alchemy House also sells various spiritual plants and medicinal plants, as well as unqualified medicinal materials.
Take the seven medicinal herbs of the health elixir, which can be easily found in the elixir building and only require a spiritual stone. If you are lucky, you can refine nine health pills in one furnace, which is the income from three spiritual stones.
But including the cost of renting the alchemy furnace, I still lost a spiritual stone during this trip, which seemed quite worthless.
And all Lu Shi needed was to use this as a cover so that he could have an excuse to use his own spiritual stones. Losing a few spiritual stones would not be a big deal.
In this way, Lu Shi decided to focus on health elixirs, refining them every day and selling them every day. In the half month since his breakthrough, Lu Shiming has already accumulated twenty or thirty pieces of spiritual stone income, which is clean money that can be used directly.
Lu Shi didn't want to be so cautious, but the reality was like this. In the past half month, Lu Shi had heard about outside robbery cultivators killing people. Even casual cultivators were killed in the Luo Family Immortal Workshop. It was not okay to be careless.
After more than a month of this, Lu Shi had gained a certain amount of wealth and was finally able to spend freely.
The first thing Lu Shi did was to go to the Zhenbao Building and buy a mask. It was exactly the kind of mask that Fatty Chen said could conceal his appearance and aura, which fully used up the spiritual stones he had "accumulated" so hard. A clean one.
