Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 11 Hundred Storage Pavilion

After staying home for three days, it was Chen Qian's first time going out, and with his modern personality, he still made sure to dress up nicely.

Compared to Blue Star's previous life, her appearance in this life is absolutely superior and overwhelming.

Especially after successfully advancing to the first level of Qi Refining, he gained a unique aura of a cultivator, which made him look completely refreshed and ethereal.

"With this appearance, if I suddenly traveled back in time, wouldn't I become Tang Sanzang's meat in the eyes of all the young women and wives, and be slaughtered indiscriminately?"

In addition, you can receive a reward from your fifth uncle when your cultivation level advances.

In his spare time these past few days, Chen Qian has read many books and learned a lot about the basics of cultivation. He knows that his current advancement speed is a bit too fast.

This can be attributed to the aftereffects of being struck by lightning.

The explanation is completely valid, so the reward should still be accepted; we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We'll figure out a way to cover it up later.

After his soul was reborn, Chen Qian discovered through feedback that as long as he could pick up something, he could instantly store it in the Gray Pearl World through the guidance of his soul.

This makes collecting supplies much easier.

There are many places to enjoy in the valley. You can take a stroll around and collect various plants and stones.

Anything new can contribute to the evolution and growth of the Gray Pearl world's rules.

After leaving the house, Chen Qian first went to the Internal Affairs Hall to find his fifth uncle and collect the reward for advancing to the first level of Qi Refining.

"You've only been cultivating for three days and you've already reached the first level of Qi Refining?"

Chen Hongwei was taken aback and was skeptical.

I've never heard of such a fast speed before.

"I don't know either. I only realized after I started cultivating that I already had a lot of magical power in my body. It must have been injected into my body after the lightning strike, and in addition, my innate true energy was also converted into magical power, which is why I was able to advance to the first level of Qi Refining so quickly."

Chen Qian had already thought of how to respond; this explanation was highly credible, and that was the only way to explain it.

Chen Hongwei carefully sensed Chen Qian's magical power before nodding and saying:
"Hmm, that makes sense. It really is a blessing in disguise, quite an opportunity."

Chen Hongwei was immediately filled with envy. Back then, it took him a full six months to complete the process of drawing qi into his body and advance to the next level.

It's true what they say: comparing goods will make you throw them away, comparing people will make you want to die.

Shaking his head and sighing, he turned and went to the inner room to retrieve the reward supplies.

He returned shortly after and handed a storage bag to Chen Qian.

"This is a low-grade storage bag, with only a little over one cubic meter of space. There is also a low-grade flying sword and ten spirit stones."

"Once you advance to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, you can come and collect the next reward. I hope you will remain humble and achieve it as soon as possible."

Chen Qian cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Fifth Uncle. I will do my best."

Chen Qian had wanted to get a storage bag for a long time, but even the lowest-grade storage bag would cost at least fifty spirit stones.

It turns out that the native Chen Qian had two reasons: first, he couldn't afford it; second, as a mortal martial artist, he couldn't use it even if he had it before his divine soul manifested.

The most important thing in crafting a storage bag is to refine the Void Stone and integrate it into the crafting materials in order to create storage space.

However, this step requires at least Foundation Establishment level mana to complete.

Therefore, even though Void Stones are widely present and not rare in the world of cultivation, storage bags for them have never been cheap.

Because labor is expensive.

With a storage bag, buying things becomes much more convenient. Otherwise, it would be quite unrefined for a dignified cultivator to always be carrying around a huge pile of stuff.

When a cultivator reaches the first level of Qi Refining, their divine soul begins to manifest, and their magical power naturally carries the aura of the divine soul. By using their magical power, they can easily open storage spaces.

As one's cultivation level increases and divine consciousness emerges, using the storage bag becomes much easier, because divine consciousness can carry magical power to directly open the storage bag, allowing it to be used normally without touching the bag with one's hands.

Because the true energy cultivated by martial artists lacks the aura of a divine soul, it cannot be stored in a storage bag.

Only peak martial artists who have reached the Innate Realm for many years, whose divine souls have manifested after years of nourishment by Innate True Qi, can use storage bags.

After leaving the Inner Affairs Hall, Chen Qian went straight to the Hundred Storages Pavilion.

Baichuge is a family-owned building that integrates storage and retail.

Whether it's cultivation supplies like pills, talismans, and spiritual plants, or daily necessities like spiritual rice, spiritual beast meat, and spiritual vegetables, everything is available for sale, functioning like a warehouse-style department store.

If you have any supplies that you don't need, you can resell them to the Hundred Storage Pavilion, which is an important resource exchange station for cultivators in the valley.

Of course, for some rarer resources, you still need to go to Qingye Mountain Market. The Hundred Storage Pavilion mainly offers basic, low-level resources.

The cultivators in the valley are still quite willing to trade at the Hundred Storage Pavilion. Firstly, the Qingye Mountain Market is too far to go to casually, and secondly, the supplies here are sold at fair prices, and the purchase price is not negotiated down. After all, they are dealing with cultivators from their families, and they are not primarily focused on making money.

Upon arriving at the Hundred Storage Pavilion, one is immediately struck by the abundance and dazzling array of goods available.

The shopkeeper was an old man whom Chen Qian did not recognize.

This is normal. Basically, those in charge of these affairs within the valley are older people who are struggling to improve their cultivation. They are experienced in life but lack the motivation to continue cultivating.

"Good job, shopkeeper. I would like to buy some animal meat and spiritual vegetables, various spiritual materials, talisman paper, talisman brushes, and spiritual ink."

Chen Qian had already decided that, in addition to some daily necessities, he also wanted some basic materials such as spiritual plants, spiritual wood, and spiritual minerals, and he would also buy some talisman paper to practice making talismans.

Although there are many kinds of cultivation arts, the most basic and in-demand are alchemy, talisman, weapon, and array.

It's definitely right to learn these four things first.

but.

In addition to materials, spiritual fire is also needed for alchemy and weapon crafting. If one has not cultivated advanced fire-based techniques, then one can only purchase fire-starting materials as fuel.

Getting started is not easy, and the investment is significant.

However, learning formations is extremely difficult, even for beginners.

Making talismans is relatively easy to learn and requires relatively little investment.

The shopkeeper looked at Chen Qian and said, puzzled:

"What do you need so many different kinds of ores and timber for? There's not enough for any purpose, and you have so many different kinds?"

Chen Qian planned to buy a little bit of all the basic materials here, just a tiny bit of each.

The old man, of course, couldn't understand this strange request.

These things are certainly not enough to do anything, but if you throw them into the Chaos Pool of the Gray Pearl World, you can collect the corresponding basic rules that constitute the materials.

The reason cannot be stated, but it is not difficult to answer.

"It's like this, shopkeeper. I've just started cultivating, but I'm struggling because I'm not familiar with all kinds of spiritual materials. So I want to take a little of each kind to learn from books. That way, my knowledge will grow faster."

Chen Qian replied.

The shopkeeper found it somewhat amusing.

"Your idea is quite unique. The simplest way to learn these things is to come and help me for a while. I guarantee you'll learn quickly and well."

Chen Qian smiled wryly and said, "What the shopkeeper said is true, but I have just embarked on the path of cultivation. I do not seek to learn anything profound. I only wish to make the most of my spare time during cultivation and try to broaden my knowledge as much as possible."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper gave Chen Qian an approving look.

"You seem quite eager to learn. Well then, these are all worthless items, so you don't need to spend any money. I'll just pick out some scraps of each for you. As long as you don't mind that they're incomplete and fragmented, how about that?"

Chen Qian was overjoyed. He didn't care about the quantity, only the variety, and it would be even better if it didn't cost money.

"Thank you very much, shopkeeper. That would be great."

The shopkeeper waved his hand, helping Chen Qian gather various spiritual materials while saying, "You want to learn talisman making? What spells do you know now?"
