I can gather experience beads

The shopkeeper came to the table to clear the dishes, and when he saw the spiritual stone on the table that was glowing with spiritual light, his eyes widened immediately.

The mortals living in the market town naturally know about spirit stones.

"It's great! Spiritual stones! One piece of spiritual stone is worth a hundred gold coins!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The shopkeeper bowed and thanked Cao Rui repeatedly in the direction he left...

This is the case for ordinary people in the market town, who can occasionally gain the favor of the immortal master.

The immortal master can just scatter some spiritual stones and elixirs, which can greatly benefit mortals.

For mortals, this is already considered an immortal fate.

Cao Rui strolled around the market town and soon returned to the training tower.

The beginning of the new year.

Cao Rui officially turned thirty years old.

In previous lives, there was a practice called "being independent at the age of thirty."

Cao Rui plans to break through his current realm as his New Year's gift.

Then he went to the sect to discuss matters with Wu Qingxuan.

In the market town, last year’s share reached 25,000 spirit stones.

Cao Rui's wallet is getting fatter again...

Cao Rui stepped into the alchemy room, and the first thing he had to do was to refine the ten demon pills into demon spirit pills.

With Cao Rui's current alchemy skills.

It is easy to refine the Demon Spirit Pill, which is equivalent to a 0-level pill.

Cao Rui spent two days to refine ten demon spirit pills.

It took Cao Rui a little longer to refine the third-level demon pill of the deep-sea black turtle.

The rest of the second-level demon pills can be prepared in basically two hours.

Cao Rui took the first demon spirit pill.

The experience value of Shenyuan Jue increased from 20% to 28%.

Cao Rui took the Demon Spirit Pills one by one.

After taking eight Demon Spirit Pills, the experience value has risen to 91%.

Cao Rui took out the demon pill refined by the ghost shark.

This demon pill is of the best quality among all the second-level demon pills.

After taking it, you should be able to advance to the fifth level of the foundation-building period.

Cao Rui adjusted his mood slightly, opened his mouth and swallowed the magic pill.

The medicinal power spread in the abdomen, was absorbed by the experience beads of Shenyuan Jue, and quickly converted into purple experience points.

"Buzz!"

Finally, when most of the medicinal power was digested, the experience value of the experience bead was full!

"Break the experience bead for me!"

Cao Rui clicked on the experience bead with his mind.

Suddenly, a purple torrent poured into Cao Rui's body.

The memories of countless times of refining the Shen Yuan Jue appeared in Cao Rui's mind.

Part of the purple torrent was swallowed up by consciousness.

As the promotion began, the first thing Cao Rui felt was the change in his spiritual consciousness.

"The range of spiritual awareness has increased by five miles, reaching seventeen miles!"

"Now I am facing the Deep Sea Black Turtle. Even if the Cone God Thorn cannot seriously injure it, it should be able to delay it a little."

"The mana has increased by half and is more refined."

Cao Rui patted his storage bag, and five magic swords flew around him.

After the spiritual consciousness was enhanced, it became easier to control the five magic swords. After the magic power was enhanced, the power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation also increased.

"Finally, there is this third-level demon spirit pill left."

After a while, Cao Rui got used to the changes in his body after the promotion and took out the last third-level demon spirit pill.

This third-level demon spirit pill was made from the demon pill of a deep-sea black turtle, and it contains extremely rich spiritual power.

"Let's try and see how much experience points a third-level demon pill can increase."

Cao Rui swallowed the demon pill in one gulp.

As Cao Rui guided the demonic power released by the third-level demon spirit pill into experience points, the experience beads that had just been reset to zero began to rapidly accumulate purple experience beads.

After a while.

Cao Rui opened his eyes, and in his mind, the experience value of the fifth level of Shenyuan Jue had reached 15%.

"A third-level demon pill increases experience points by 15%, which is not bad progress."

"Next time I go to the East China Sea, I will continue to hunt monsters and reach the twelfth level of foundation building in one go."

After taking the Demon Spirit Pill, it was already the third day of the New Year.

Cao Rui sent a message to Ye Yunyin and Zhang Mo, then flew up on his sword and headed straight for the Spirit Beast Sect.

Cao Rui controlled the golden sword to fly at full speed, and the instantaneous speed could reach three thousand miles.

It took less than two hours to reach the Spirit Beast Sect.

However, flying at such a full speed naturally consumed a lot of Cao Rui's magic power. Only in his hometown in the southwest of Yunzhou could Cao Rui dare to be so presumptuous.

“Greetings to Master Cao!!”

At the entrance of the Spirit Beast Sect, several disciples guarding the entrance recognized Cao Rui's identity at a glance. Their faces were full of respect, and they spoke in unison.

When Cao Rui heard the voice, he nodded slightly in response, then his figure flashed and he flew away.

Cao Rui did not go to the weapon refining institute first. He decided to go to his own alchemy institute first.

It was nearly a year since he left. As the head of the Alchemy Institute, Cao Rui had indeed been negligent in the management of the institute.

His figure quickly flew into the alchemy courtyard. He scanned the area with his spiritual sense and notified several disciples and deacons through voice transmission.

As soon as he landed, two deacons Bai Mengli, Zhang Chenyi and Cao Rui's direct disciples Sun Haoran, Jin Mu and other disciples from the Alchemy Academy immediately surrounded him.

They greeted in unison: "Master!"

Cao Rui nodded slightly in response.

Then, he said bluntly: "I have been away for a while and have kept you waiting. As usual, if you have any problems with alchemy, you can always come to me for consultation."

After saying that, Cao Rui took out a cushion from his storage bag and sat down cross-legged.

The disciples looked at each other, and Sun Haoran was the first to stand up. He took out a small notebook and actually recorded all the problems he had encountered in the past year in the notebook.

At this time, he was asking questions one by one according to the records in the notebook.

Cao Rui was not impatient at all and answered them one by one.

For some things that could not be expressed in words, he would just pat his storage bag, take out the alchemy furnace, and make the alchemy himself for him to see.

In this way, half an hour later, Sun Haoran's problem was completely solved, and he returned to the Alchemy Institute with a happy face to practice.

With Sun Haoran taking the lead, the other disciples in the Alchemy Academy were no longer restrained and started asking questions about their own doubts about alchemy.

Although Cao Rui often does not show up, he actually does a better job than Han Yuansheng for the disciples of the Alchemy Academy.

Because Cao Rui would teach them his alchemy experience and skills without reservation, when Cao Rui was not making alchemy, the opportunity to make alchemy fell on his disciples. Although it was a little tiring, it gave them more opportunities to practice alchemy, which was actually a good thing for their own alchemy skills.

Cao Rui stayed in the Alchemy Institute for a whole day.

After solving all the disciples' alchemy problems, Cao Rui summoned two deacons separately.

Upon learning that although the disciples of the Alchemy Academy were a little tired over the past six months, they were able to complete the alchemy tasks on time, Cao Rui felt relieved and praised them a few words.

After thinking about it, Cao Rui took out a portion of the deep-sea black turtle's monster meat and gave it to the two deacons, asking them to consider giving it to the disciples of the Alchemy Academy or using it to experiment with new elixirs.

It can be considered as a New Year gift that Cao Rui brought to the disciples of the Alchemy Academy.

Then, Cao Rui left the alchemy courtyard and walked down the steps to the back mountain to build the pagoda.

Half of the Qingling Market belongs to the Lingshou Sect.

This year's share of 25,000 spirit stones from the market town must be handed over to the clan leader personally by Cao Rui, the shop owner.
