Chapter 101 Cultivating the Five Elements Qianyang True Technique and the New Talent [Qi Concealment] (Please Subscribe)
"Ling'er, Manager Zhao from Sijilou came to our winery today. After tasting our spirit wine, he ordered fifty jars of it from us."

"He said he would send them fifty jars every day from now on, and even more on weekends and holidays."

"Moreover, all fifty jars are top-quality spirit wine. What price should we offer them?"

Li Ru placed a large chicken leg into Zhou Ling's bowl, her expression a mixture of joy and hesitation as she spoke.

Zhou Ling ate the spirit rice and gnawed on the chicken leg, his cheeks puffed out. "Mother, the He family doesn't lack spirit stones. We'll just pay whatever the market price is."

"If we sell it too cheaply, they might think there's something wrong with the quality, which would be bad!"

"I think thirty or forty spirit fragments should be enough!"

When he was eating the day before yesterday, he specifically looked at the menu and found that a jar of spirit wine cost one low-grade spirit stone.

This one transaction yields double the profit; the money is just too easy to make.

Moreover, fifty jars are needed every day, and just from selling spirit wine, dozens of spirit stones can be earned every day.

It's something to be envious of.

"Ling'er is right!"

Zhou Shan took a sip of the spirit wine and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then we'll sell them thirty Soul Shards!"

Li Ru hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhou Shan and Zhou Ling and said.

"Mother, it should be at least thirty-five spirit fragments. The quality of our family's spirit wine is much better than those on the market. Forty spirit fragments wouldn't be unreasonable!"

Zhou Ling quickly finished a chicken leg, drank a bowl of soup, and smiled.

My mother is too honest!

"Is this okay?" Li Ru looked at Zhou Shan with some uncertainty.

Zhou Shan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ling'er, you know He Zijian, right? Wouldn't it be bad if the price was too high?"

"Father, Mother, just listen to me, thirty-five pieces of spirit fragments are no problem!"

Zhou Ling said with a smile.

For the parents, a jar of fine spirit wine costs less than ten pieces of spirit wine.

They were already quite content with selling twenty-odd Soul Shards.

If it can sell for thirty-five yuan now, that's practically exorbitant profit.

"Father, Mother, this brewing furnace cost me a lot of spirit stones, we need to earn it back quickly!"

"Moreover, other wineries might sell their wines to Four Seasons Pavilion for more than thirty-five pieces of spirit essence!"

Seeing that his parents still didn't understand, Zhou Ling could only say...

A first-grade superior brewing furnace costs tens of spirit stones just for the materials alone, not to mention hiring someone to draw the inscription.

The cheapest one on the market costs 130 spirit stones, which is beyond the reach of ordinary wineries.

"Alright, then thirty-five Soul Shards!"

The couple looked at each other and nodded in unison.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Ling discussed the distillery with his parents for a while before returning to his room to begin cultivating the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique".

Try to condense the circulation of wood-attribute meridians.

[You are currently cultivating the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique". Your innate talent +1, wood attribute spiritual energy +2, and proficiency in the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique" +2.]

"It's done!"

Zhou Ling opened his eyes, his heart filled with joy.

At this moment, through his inner vision, he could vaguely see a new, faintly blue meridian circulating within his meridians.

As the Five Elements Qianyang True Technique is activated, one can feel the subtle magical power within the meridians, exuding a vibrant and evergreen aura.

Although this "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique" is described as a cultivation method.

However, since it is divided into five chapters, it is essentially the same as having to cultivate five different techniques at the same time.

This wood-attribute chapter is titled "The Evergreen Wood Source Technique".

Although the wood meridian circulation has just been formed, it is absorbing wood-attribute spiritual power.

But within the meridians, there seemed to be a sense of continuous life.

Its energy flow is long and deep, completely different from the original powerful fire elemental energy.

Clearly, this wood-attribute spiritual power is less effective than fire-attribute spiritual power in combat. However, the continuous flow of magical power compensates for the fire attribute's weakness of being too fierce and easily depleted.

"However, with two meridians circulating, the cultivation speed will be a bit slower!"

Zhou Ling frowned.

Fortunately, with the "Born to Be Talented" talent, the overall progress wasn't much slower.

[Growth Talent, Qi Concealment: Able to control and conceal one's aura, becoming as if one were rotten wood, making one's energy imperceptible and concealing one's cultivation level. Requirement: Cultivate the "Wood Source Evergreen Technique" ten times.]

Zhou Ling, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, saw a notification suddenly appear on the panel.

I couldn't help but feel happy.

According to the "Evergreen Wood Source Technique", high-level wood-attribute cultivation techniques may be able to condense secret techniques for concealing qi.

He, on the other hand, activated his [Qi Condensation] talent.

Zhou Ling, who was originally preparing to go to sleep, saw that he had achieved the requirement of cultivating the "Wood Source Evergreen Technique" ten times.

He couldn't help but activate the "Evergreen Wood Source Technique" again and continue his cultivation.

······.

[Your cultivation of the "Evergreen Wood Source Technique" has increased by +1 to Qi Concealment, +1 to Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, and +1 to Proficiency in the "Evergreen Wood Source Technique".]

[Effect: After practicing the "Evergreen Wood Source Technique" 10 times, the Qi Concealment talent is achieved.]

[Cumulative number of times I've practiced the "Evergreen Wood Source Technique": 10/100]

"This [Qi Concealment] talent is finally complete!"

Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy. He let out a breath and stretched.

It was already getting light outside, but the sky looked overcast today, as if it were foggy.

He thought for a moment and opened the properties panel.

The Five Elements Qianyang True Technique, Level 1, Introductory Level 5/100.

"Sigh, it seems like everything has to start all over again!"

Zhou Ling shook his head helplessly.

"Let's try out this new [Gathering Qi] talent and see how it goes!"

I feel my spiritual energy is abundant.

These past few days, due to drawing soul imprints, I haven't been able to enter the [Illusion Simulation] for several days.

With a thought, he activated his talent [Illusion Simulation].

The view suddenly changed, revealing a lush, verdant forest.

The main purpose this time is to test the effect of [Qi Concentration].

Therefore, Zhou Ling did not continue his journey. Instead, he sat cross-legged under an ancient tree and began to practice the "Evergreen Wood Source Technique".

[Your cultivation of "Evergreen Wood Source Technique" has increased your Qi Concealment by 1, Wood Attribute Spiritual Power by 1, and "Evergreen Wood Source Technique" Proficiency by 1.]

With each breath, the breathing became smooth and long, and soon it felt as if one had become one with the forest.

Soon after, an unknown black bird at the early stage of Tier 1 landed on the ancient tree overhead.

It squeaked twice, then flapped its wings and flew away.

They seemed completely unaware of Zhou Ling's presence.

Soon, another early-stage Tier 1 spotted snake snaked past him.

······.

"Not bad, the newly acquired [Concealing Qi] talent is already enough to prevent you from being detected by mid-stage first-tier demonic beasts!"

After sitting in meditation for a while, several demonic beasts passed by, including one mid-stage first-tier demonic beast.

They did not discover Zhou Ling's presence.

However, the mid-stage first-tier demonic beast kept its eyes on Zhou Ling's position, quite alert.

They must have sensed something.

With this effect, Zhou Ling looked satisfied and immediately left the illusion.
