Cheng Buzheng returned to Baiyunmen and did not go directly to the secret room to meditate.
With a flash of inspiration, he flew towards the underground fire room.
After Cheng Buzheng glanced at the plaque of the underground fire room, he stepped directly into the hall.
In the hall.
Old Nan was lying drowsily on the rocking chair, swaying back and forth with the swing of the rocking chair.
When Cheng Bu Zheng saw Old Man Nan, the books he usually held in his hands were gone, the wrinkles on his face were becoming more and more obvious, and his hair was all gray.
This is a sign of the decline of Qi and blood, and it is also the time when the monk's end is approaching.
He knows that Old Man Nan's time may be numbered!
immediately.
After Cheng Buzheng collected his emotions, he walked into the hall with a smile.
"Old man Nan, why are you so listless!"
He said with a mocking look on his face.
Hear the words.
Old Nan, who was lying on the rocking chair, opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Cheng Buzheng, felt the huge pressure, and said slowly:
"You kid, you've also been promoted to the foundation building stage!"
"Originally, the little fat man also left a Foundation Establishment Pill with me, ready to sell it to you!"
"It seems there's no need for it now."
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Cheng Buzheng smiled and said:
"but···"
"Old man Nan, isn't it time for you to pay your respects to my uncle?"
As he spoke, Cheng Buzheng had a serious look on his face, and he put on his clothes, pretending to be waiting for Old Man Nan to pay him a visit!
Hear the words.
Old Man Nan's eyes widened, and he felt angry all of a sudden. He said angrily:
"roll···"
"The old man doesn't have much time left. If you don't want to bow down, let's see if you can get me!"
After saying that, Old Nan turned his head as if he were an old child.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng smiled slightly, then his face turned serious and he said:
"Old man Nan, my uncle wants to punish you for the crime of disrespect?"
"But?"
"If you can use spiritual wine to bribe my uncle, I will have a lot of it. How about I spare you this one time?"
Old Man Nan didn't even look at Cheng Buzheng and said angrily:
"I don't want to see you, a brat like you, so get away from me!"
"Don't talk about a pot of spiritual wine, even a drop, I won't give you this white-eyed wolf!"
See this.
"Hey, Old Man Nan, are you quite energetic?"
Cheng Buzheng walked towards the counter and joked.
Come to the counter.
Cheng Buzheng casually pulled over a bench, sat down, took out a pot of spiritual wine and a set of drinking utensils, and said:
"Forget it, my uncle doesn't care about the faults of others. I'll give you a taste of the good wine that my uncle brought back from outside!"
He said while pouring the wine.
Only seen.
Old Man Nan sniffed and looked a little hesitant. Then he seemed to have thought of something and said angrily:
"I won't drink your spiritual wine, you take it away!"
Hear the words.
Cheng Buzheng felt the unsteadiness in his tone and continued:
"This is a rare spiritual wine. It would be a pity not to drink it!"
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng took a sip and sighed:
"Compared with the previous spiritual wine, it is like a fairy brew!"
As he spoke, he shook the wine cup, and the faint aroma of wine continued to spread.
I saw that Old Nan's throat swallowed unconsciously, but his expression became hesitant.
Secretly:
"You can't take advantage of this kid, drink up all his spiritual wine, and leave not a drop for him!"
"Ask him to come and satisfy me."
Thinking of this, Old Man Nan turned around and said with some reluctance:
"Since you are so sincere, I will give you some face!"
As he spoke, Old Nan reached out to hold the wine cup and took a swig.
"Okay, it's a good wine after all!"
Old Man Nan sighed, grabbing the wine bottle and filling it up again.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng smiled knowingly.
It was precisely because he knew that Old Nan was depressed that he stimulated Old Nan so much.
Simple comfort and companionship will not make the situation better.
An old man and a young man finished a pot of spiritual wine while laughing and cursing.
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng exchanged words with the red-faced old man Nan.
Walk directly to the alchemy room.
One month later.
Alchemy room.
Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged on the futon and looked at the long-necked jade vase in his hand.
Although the alchemy furnace was not full this time, there were still nine Qingyun Pills.
After a year of searching, he collected a furnace of elixirs, including a precious elixir that he brought from the secret realm.
In refining Qingyun Dan twice, two precious elixirs have been used.
Not counting that elixir, just collecting the other thirty-two elixirs cost more than 1,200 spiritual stones.
If it weren't for the Bao-shaped Puppet No. 1, who has been refining Qi Gathering Pills in the underground fire room of Baiyun City all year round, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to use the pills at this time.
During this year, the Baozi No. 1 Puppet refined the Qi Gathering Pill every month, and the net profit reached almost 800 spirit stones. After one year, there were almost 9,600 spirit stones.
After deducting all kinds of consumption, there are only more than 6,000 spiritual stones in his storage bag at this time. This is why he has made so much profit because of his full furnace of elixirs.
The average first-level high-grade alchemist's net profit in a year is only a little over 3,000. After deducting various consumption, the profit is even less.
The foundation building period consumes more energy. Fortunately, the treasure-shaped No. 1 puppet can refine first-level elixirs, so that there are enough spiritual stones to maintain cultivation.
Otherwise, he would not only have to collect elixirs, but also earn spiritual stones, and the time to practice would also be shorter.
This is also because refining the elixir of the Foundation Establishment Pill requires elixirs that are at least hundreds of years old, while first-level elixirs can be refined with only a few to several decades of age.
This also makes the foundation-building elixirs scarce, making it more difficult to improve one's cultivation.
The Qingyun Pill is only a pill for improving mana, and the pill for nourishing the body and soul was found after a year of searching and costing more than two thousand spiritual stones.
Put together a pot.
The two kinds of elixirs are more or less lacking in several elixirs.
For most monks in the foundation building stage, they can only rely on time to improve their cultivation. Day after day, year after year, they absorb spiritual energy to improve themselves, or take first-level spiritual pills to improve their cultivation. From this, you can see the spirit.
The importance of pulse to monks.
The richer the spiritual energy, the faster the progress of cultivation. If you are in a place with poor spiritual energy, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation even if it takes hundreds of years, except of course taking pills.
There are even fewer monks who can take second-level elixirs to maintain their cultivation.
After all, in the world of immortality, poor monks still account for the majority. As for those wealthy monks, they are almost all the descendants of high-level monks, or people with great opportunities.
Cheng Buzheng lamented that it was difficult to improve his cultivation. He had not taken Qingyun Pill for a long time.
The Qingyun Pill was used up more than half a year ago. As for the reward that Uncle Master promised, his previous expectations have turned into extravagant hopes, so it’s okay not to talk about it.
After advancing to the foundation building stage, the absorption capacity increases greatly, and the elixir can be taken every half month to avoid the drug resistance period and detoxification period.
After a long wait, Bao-shaped Puppet No. 1 acquired all the elixirs, and then immediately delivered the elixirs.
These nine Qingyun Pills were only enough for him for more than four months.
It can be seen that the monks in the foundation building period are horribly consumed.
