Chapter 39
There is no time to practice.
More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye...
Uncle Ji never stopped seeking immortality every day. In addition, he also had to refine elixirs, practice Qigong, and conceive of "Inspirational Stories" such as "Travel to the Peach Blossom" that could bring profit. His life was extremely fulfilling.
Especially when Xiao Anan is allowed to go out to play, when he goes to explore the path and taste the sweet lotus seeds, he may even feel that there is not enough time...
During this period, due to the sufficient supply of high-quality elixirs, my sister-in-law not only made great progress in her cultivation, but was about to reach the late stage of Qi refining. Her complexion became more rosy and shiny, and her body became more and more mature.
Bright and moving.
And Ji Bochang's harvest was even richer.
[Physical Qualification: Lower Grade (5174/1000) (can break through)]
[Perception of alchemy: one high level (7853/1w)]
[Perception of Pei Yuan Gong: Nine Levels (104/10000) (Dacheng)]
Refining a wisp of white 'immortal energy' originating from the immortal fate of my sister-in-law, and then counting the immortal fate bonus, each time I have 4 points of physical qualifications, 3 points of alchemy insights, and 8 points of "Peiyuan Gong" insights...
After all, "Peiyuan Gong" is just an introductory internal skill during the Qi refining period. It only requires 10,000 insights to reach the ninth level. With his diligent practice, he has already achieved great success!
Not only that…
With the accumulation of a large amount of pills, his cultivation level has also broken through to the fifth level of Qi refining.
But correspondingly, the disadvantages of taking a large amount of pills have also been reflected in his body!
Practicing "Pui Yuan Gong" has the effect of strengthening the foundation and strengthening the body, and the effect will be even better after it is completed. It is precisely for this reason that the cultivation level improved by taking the elixir will not be too frivolous.
But the body's resistance to drugs has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary monks to accept!
Nowadays, when he takes low-grade or medium-grade elixirs, they have almost no effect, and when he takes high-grade elixirs, the feedback from his body is pitiful.
Even if you take high-quality elixirs with the best quality, the efficacy is only one-tenth of what it was a year ago!
It can be said that his body's resistance to various cultivation elixirs during the Qi Refining Period is close to the threshold, and it is difficult to rely on such elixirs for improvement!
However, compared to the resistance caused by taking a large number of pills, he is more concerned about his body's deficit!
He had no control when he was young, but now that he is middle-aged, he and his sister-in-law have prayed to immortals several times every day, and he already has a vague feeling that his body has been hollowed out...
It belongs to the kind of deficiency that cannot be restored by pills...
At this time, Ji Bochang was soaking in the tub and rubbing his lower back. He couldn't help but lament that time is not forgiving, and he also lamented that his cultivation talent was really poor.
The body's resistance to medicine has been exhausted, and it has only reached the fifth level of Qi refining...
He furrowed his brows as he looked at the "Pui Yuan Gong" that he had already mastered, and his physical qualifications that he could clearly break through, but had yet to break through...
Thinking that the practice of relying on elixirs is now close to the limit, and there are also physical problems, I can't delay it any longer...
The breakthrough option for physical qualifications is now confirmed!
The moment he confirmed his physical qualifications, he felt a burst of pain from the inside out, and then there was a crisp sound like bones interlacing!
As if reborn, the pores all over the body open and close, the skin becomes tighter, and there is a faint flash of light...
[Physical Qualification: Middle Grade (4174/1w)]
Ji Bochang took a long, soothing breath. Not only did his body feel lighter, but the feeling of powerlessness rooted in his body also disappeared...
He looked at his reborn body, seemed to have thought of something, and immediately took a low-grade Qi Condensing Pill and stuffed it into his mouth...
"Hahahahaha~~"
When he could clearly feel the power of the medicine flowing through his body, Ji Bo often couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"My low-grade physique has backache and physical weakness. What does it have to do with my average-grade physique?"
"What does the erysipelas resistance accumulated by a lower-grade body have to do with my middle-grade body?"
He stood up and stretched his muscles. Hearing the crisp sounds of bones interlacing, he felt refreshed, as if his body was twenty years younger...
unobstructed!
Refreshing!
Then I considered that all the spiritual plants I bought at Baibao Pavilion last time have been refined. In the past year or so, because "Travel to Taoyuan" has a guaranteed bottom line and dividends, I have accumulated some spiritual stones in my hand, so I should buy some.
Something...
After getting ready to pay attention, he said hello to his sister-in-law and went out...
Came to Baibao Pavilion again.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the receptionist I met today was Gan Yujing, a cheongsam female cultivator who I had a close relationship with before.
He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Friend Daoist Gan, are you okay?"
"Fellow Daoist Ji?"
Gan Yujing was stunned when she saw him, and returned the favor with a smile: "If I remember correctly, it has been more than a year since we last saw each other, right?"
"What Taoist friend Gan remembered is true..."
Ji Bo often smiled pointedly and said: "Ji really hasn't been here for more than a year."
"Oh~"
Gan Yujing invited him into the reception room, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "So, Taoist friend Ji is here today to do big business?"
"Fellow Daoist Gan is joking."
Ji Bo often shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The reputation of Baibao Pavilion has spread throughout the cultivation world, and the family has a great business. However, Ji is just a young monk in the Qi refining period. How dare he say that we will do big business with your pavilion?"
"Friend Daoist Daoist, please don't be humble..."
Gan Yujing poured tea and then joked in a teasing tone: "Anyone who can take care of my pavilion is a big business~"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Ji Bochang couldn't help but laugh, and then he seemed to have thought of something. After looking around, he asked: "I would like to ask, is your Taoist friend the only person you want to receive the reception?"
"no…"
Although Gan Yujing didn't know what he meant by what he said, she still explained patiently: "There are more than ten people receiving reception here, including me. They are on duty in shifts and each performs his or her duties..."
She paused for a moment, then joked: "Do you want to change your reception, Daoist Fellow Ji?"
"Ji has absolutely no such intention..."
Ji Bochang waved his hands hurriedly and explained: "Ji came to Baibao Pavilion three times in total, and each time he was received by fellow Taoist Gan, so I asked out of curiosity, and there was absolutely no other intention."
"That's it~"
Gan Yujing had a look of surprise on her face, and then she seemed to have thought of something. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "So, I think I have some fate with Daoist Ji."
"It's really fate..."
"Then I don't know if Fellow Daoist Ji came to my pavilion this time to buy something, or to sell something?"
“There is both buying and selling!”
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"All the spiritual plants purchased last time have been refined into elixirs. In addition, Ji also got some windfall this year, so I have to buy a lot of things."
Ji Bochang said as he took out the elixirs he had refined from his storage bag, and soon the table was filled with them.
"I'd like to trouble you, fellow Taoist Gan, to take a look at it."
"Fellow Daoist Ji also said it's not a big business~"
Gan Yujing teased, and then asked pointedly: "I wonder if the elixirs sold by Taoist friends this time are still as high-quality as last time?"
"The elixirs produced by Ji are all top quality~"
Ji Bochang nodded slightly and exclaimed: "Everything below high-quality products will go into someone's own belly."
"Hehehehe~"
Gan Yujing couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She thought he was joking and joked: "Fellow Daoist Ji only takes elixirs that are lower than high-quality elixirs, and only sells high-quality elixirs. So where are the top-quality elixirs above the high-quality elixirs?"
"In the belly of my sister-in-law and niece~"
"..."
Uncle Ji often saw strange expressions on his face, so he explained generously: "My sister-in-law lost her husband early in her life, and she has lived as an orphan and a widowed mother for seven years. Now Ji is responsible for taking care of the two of them."
"I see."
Gan Yujing nodded with a look of astonishment on her face, and said with a smile: "I envy my sister-in-law to have such a caring brother-in-law like Daoist Fellow Ji."
"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary..."
Ji Bochang heard something strange and asked, "Is it possible that fellow Taoist Gan is not married yet?"
"Yeah~"
Gan Yujing smiled bitterly and shook her head, and said with emotion: "Actually, it's not easy to find a Taoist companion for someone like me who is here to receive you."
"Why?"
Ji Bochang said in surprise: "If Ji's observation is correct, fellow Taoist Gan's cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining, coupled with his excellent appearance, body shape, and temperament, how can he not find a Taoist partner?"
