Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 29 [Buy One Get One Free] (Please Read!)

During the second half of the celebration banquet, the rest of the people at the table of the Second Branch were in an awkward atmosphere.

Only Xiao Chen and Ye Fei were eating voraciously, as if nothing had happened.

After eating and drinking, Manager Chen simply left on the pretext of having something to do, allowing the rest of the people to move freely.

There was an impromptu trade fair later, and at Jiang Sixuan's invitation, Ye Fei stayed.

However, Xiao Chen was not interested at all. He returned directly to the second branch and continued to practice.

From Li Sibao's unusual words and actions today, he felt an inexplicable but very clear hostility.

Especially the resentful look in his eyes when he was leaving, which was clearly telling Xiao Chen that this matter was definitely not over yet.

"Where the hell did I offend him? It doesn't make sense."

I swear to God, before today, Xiao Chen and Li Sibao could not be said to be strangers, at most they were just nodding acquaintances.

Apart from the time when he was wearing a disguise in Shan Gu, they had only exchanged three sentences in total, and they were all polite greetings.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. There must be something wrong with Li Sibao.

But Xiao Chen has no way to find out the whole story now.

Fortunately, he has now reached the door to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and only needs one last step to successfully break through.

"Now that things have come to this, let's practice first."

No matter when, improving your own strength is the most important thing.

With sufficient strength, we can naturally meet the challenge head-on.

So Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in meditation, putting aside all distracting thoughts and immersing himself in cultivation.

The next morning, Xiao Chen, who had been practicing all night, had a drop of dew on his eyebrow.

It was September, the golden autumn, and the weather had turned cold, but he was completely unaware of it.

As the first ray of sunlight in the early morning cuts through the sky, purple air rises from the east.

Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly opened, his face flushed, and a large amount of hot white steam suddenly emanated from his body.

"Done! I stayed up all night for nothing."

Feeling the magic power surging in his body, Xiao Chen showed a hint of joy on his face. He successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and entered the late stage of Qi Refining.

The next moment, three golden cards appeared in front of him, with three options.

[Bitterness before sweetness: After you lose 50 years of your lifespan, you will receive four random magical instruments.]

[Meditation I: As long as you don't carry any magical tools, you can restore one mana every quarter hour.]

[Buy one, get one free: For every batch of pills you refine, you will receive an additional batch of the same pills.]

"what?"

When he saw the first Hextech, Xiao Chen rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating because he hadn't slept all night.

"God damn it, first bitter then sweet, fifty years later who still needs those few magical instruments?"

To be fair, Xiao Chen felt that with his current cultivation speed, it was not impossible for him to break through the foundation-building stage within five years.

So the first one is directly excluded.

The second meditation seems very powerful.

Although there is a restriction, you can put away your magic weapon and circumvent the restriction on weekdays.

The only problem is that he already has a featherweight fighter, and his mana recovery speed is more than enough. It would be a waste to choose another one.

The third Hex is buy one get one free, and according to the description it is a Hex exclusively for alchemists.

The effect seems very powerful, but the problem is that Xiao Chen doesn't know how to refine pills yet.

After being promoted to an inner disciple, one can choose a skill that interests him from among the hundreds of arts of cultivation and practice it simultaneously.

However, different choices of techniques also have different requirements.

Among the hundred arts of cultivation, the four most popular and widely known are alchemy, weapons, talismans, and formations. Formation techniques have extremely high requirements, the highest learning threshold, the most expensive cost, and the slowest time to see results, so they are excluded.

There isn't much difference in status between refining equipment and refining pills, but this time Hextech is only related to refining pills and making talismans, so refining equipment is also excluded.

Thinking of making talismans, Xiao Chen remembered that during the outer sect trial, an inner sect senior brother had gone to set up a stall to sell talismans and easily earned a large amount of spirit stones.

He also thought at that time that after joining the inner sect, he would also learn how to make talismans.

The advantage of making talismans is that it is low-cost and easy to learn. It is the easiest to get started among the four major skills.

Especially as a consumable item, talismans have a very large market and are almost the most suitable choice for most cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

Its disadvantage is that it is easy to get started, so the competition is fierce. Most of the time, the profit margins of talismans are squeezed to extremely low levels.

Moreover, the drawn talismans have a shelf life and become invalid after the expiration date, so buyers only purchase them when they need them.

If you want to choose talisman making, then meditation is the most suitable Hextech at the moment.

Every time a talisman is drawn, regardless of success or failure, the monk's mana will be consumed.

A cultivator whose cultivation level is not high enough will exhaust his magic power after just a few attempts every day.

With meditation, you can draw multiple times, which has certain advantages whether you are practicing or selling.

It can be said that meditation greatly improves the lower limit of talisman making.

In contrast, buy one get one free combined with alchemy undoubtedly has a higher ceiling.

Alchemy is widely considered to be the most lucrative profession. In theory, a qualified first-level alchemist can earn several times more than a talisman master.

Of course, the shortcomings of alchemy are also very obvious.

The first thing ordinary cultivators have to face is the problem of access, as every inheritance of alchemy skills is extremely expensive.

Fortunately, as an inner disciple, Xiao Chen can get a book on alchemy for free if he chooses alchemy.

Then, you have to pay extremely expensive learning costs.

It can be said that the skills of every alchemist are accumulated through countless waste pills.

Before successfully mastering a certain elixir, such learning is completely wasting time.

Ordinary monks simply cannot afford it and are forced to choose other skills, such as making talismans.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen had saved a large amount of spirit stones during his previous trial, which should be enough as start-up capital.

And with the buy-one-get-one-free Hex, he can get more pills in a shorter time.

The difficulty of making a profit can be said to have been reduced more than a little.

Finally, there is another hidden danger in alchemy, which is that alchemy itself is a very time-consuming task.

When refining elixirs, alchemists often need to stay by the furnace for several hours in a row, adding medicinal materials at the right time, adjusting the size of the spiritual fire, and performing the secret techniques of alchemy.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of the elixir, the longer it takes.

In addition, a lot of time must be spent to learn different recipes.

Many alchemists have been refining pills all year round. Although they have made many contributions to their sect or family, they have very little time left for their own practice.

Although one can improve the level of cultivation by taking elixirs, it will inevitably lead to a lack of magic spells and be left behind by cultivators of the same level in combat.

Although alchemists are respected in daily life, no one wants to offend them.

But things in this world are unpredictable, and sometimes only by becoming strong can you avoid disasters and misfortunes.

Coincidentally, Xiao Chen has a featherweight player. If not invincible in the same class, he can at least be undefeated.

"Looking at it this way, I can solve all three of the problems in alchemy."

"What is the innate alchemy holy body?"

Xiao Chen sighed and decisively chose 'buy one get one free'.
