I can gather experience beads

After becoming familiar with the daily life of the head of the Alchemy Institute.

Cao Rui finally had some free time for practice.

"In terms of alchemy, before I advance to the foundation-building stage, I can't get in touch with the second-level alchemy formula and second-level alchemy, so I can't make a big breakthrough."

"I can squeeze out time every day to master all the 0-level pill recipes in the inner storage bag. As the saying goes, more skills are better than less."

"Moreover, every time you master a pill recipe, you will gain more knowledge about the pharmacology of spiritual medicines, which in turn can improve your pill refining skills."

"In addition to the pill formula, I, who have reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, can almost find some first-level spells to practice."

When Cao Rui was at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, he successfully cultivated the first-level spell Yellow Earth Shadow with the help of experience pills.

After reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining and having even stronger magic power, you should be able to successfully practice other first-level spells.

A first-level spell is actually a spell that can only be fully exerted during the foundation-building period.

For ordinary cultivators, first-level spells can only be practiced at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. After practicing, they are limited by their own magic power in the Qi Refining Stage and cannot be cast many times.

Only those with powerful spiritual root attributes that actually correspond to spell attributes can learn first-level spells at the eighth or even seventh level of Qi Refining.

For example, the Tuxingsun brothers who were killed by Cao Rui before had good earth attribute spiritual root talent, so they were able to learn the first-level spell "Yellow Earth Shadow Escape" at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Magic is a means of combat for monks and can enhance their combat effectiveness.

Cao Rui has never forgotten that combat effectiveness is the foundation that cultivators rely on on the road to immortality.

Alchemy is just one of the means Cao Rui uses to improve his realm with the help of experience beads.

You can become a high-level alchemist, but you must not forget to improve your combat power and let your own combat effectiveness fall behind.

"Becoming a true disciple will give you the opportunity to go to the Internal Affairs Hall to exchange for five spells."

"After five times, you will need contribution points to redeem spells again."

"Let's go check out what spells the sect has and use these five chances."

Cao Rui left the alchemy room and went straight to the Internal Affairs Hall to find the hall master.

The Alchemy Courtyard and the Internal Affairs Hall were originally separated.

Soon, Cao Rui appeared in the Internal Affairs Hall.

As expected, the inner hall was empty.

After shouting.

The master of the Internal Affairs Hall, Xu Qingzhi, just appeared in the hall from behind.

The Internal Affairs Hall is usually very quiet, and Xu Qingzhi usually hides in the back to practice.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You have become the head of the Alchemy Institute. Not bad."

"At the meeting a few days ago, Su Zimo said that your alchemy skills are no less than those of the previous abbot?" Xu Qingzhi looked at Cao Rui and spoke while stroking his white beard.

Cao Rui didn't expect that Xu Qingzhi still remembered him.

In fact, a few days ago, at the high-level meeting regarding the Han Yuansheng incident, Cao Rui was also the protagonist of that meeting.

The main thing is to confirm that Cao Rui can replace Han Yuansheng's responsibilities.

After Han Yuansheng's death, it will not cause much disturbance to the Spirit Beast Sect and the Alchemy Institute.

Even Cao Rui showed a stronger talent in alchemy than Han Yuansheng.

The appearance of Cao Rui was also one of the reasons why the Spirit Beast Sect chose to temporarily shelve the Han Yuansheng incident.

"Master Han Dan is my benefactor in the art of alchemy. Without Master Han Dan, there would be no Cao Rui." Cao Rui said.

In fact, Cao Rui also wanted to ask why the sect didn’t stand up for Han Yuansheng.

A genius alchemist from a sect died in vain in a foreign land, and the sect did not even make any statement?

Xu Qingzhi saw Cao Rui's thoughts and said, "As for the matter of Han Shouzu, when the time comes, our Spirit Beast Sect will naturally seek justice."

"Let's talk about yourself. Why did you come to the Internal Affairs Hall today?" Xu Qingzhi asked.

"I've had some free time recently, and I wanted to use my true authority to select a few first-level spells to practice." Cao Rui said.

Xu Qingzhi patted his storage bag and took out a booklet: "This is the general book of the sect's first-level spells. After you choose, I will take out the corresponding spell jade slip and give it to you."

"However, you are still in the Qi Refining Stage, and you have to take care of alchemy on a regular basis. It is best for you to focus on improving your realm first." Xu Qingzhi reminded kindly.

"Thank you, Palace Master, for the reminder." Cao Rui reached out and took the spell book.

Cao Rui opened the booklet and looked at it carefully.

The Lingshou Sect is worthy of being a sect that has been passed down for more than 5,000 years.

The first-level spells are dazzling, with more than two hundred spells of various attributes.

Cao Rui went through some selection.

Finally, five spells were chosen.

First-level gold-attribute spell: Golden Armor Technique, an advanced version of Golden Light Technique, can condense golden armor to protect the body, and its defense is stronger than that of Golden Light Technique.

First-level wood-attribute spell: Spirit Vine Technique. This is also an advanced version of the Vine Technique. It can use magic power to make the original vines several times stronger and transform them into spirit vines to control the enemy.

First-level water-attribute spell: Sweet Rain and Dew, an advanced version of the Auspicious Elm Tree. In addition to having a stronger recovery effect, it can also be cast over a large area.

First-level fire spells: Fire Snake, an advanced version of Fireball.

The first-level spell without attributes: Sword-controlling technique, evolved from object-controlling technique, but it is completely different from object-controlling technique. Sword-controlling technique not only allows cultivators to fly with swords, but also allows them to control swords against enemies. When matched with good magic weapons, it can have a terrifying attack effect.

There are also some sword cultivators who specialize in sword training. They have mastered the art of wielding a sword and have developed various sword techniques, making their combat power extremely powerful.

The sword-controlling technique officially became the foundation of sword cultivation.

Cao Rui gave the five spells he selected to Xu Qingzhi.

Xu Qingzhi frowned slightly after reading it: "Your selection is a bit mixed."

But Xu Qingzhi quickly handed the five jade slips to Cao Rui.

The spell knowledge is recorded in the jade slip. Cao Rui only needs to input magic power to read the spell information in the jade slip, which is quite convenient.

"It doesn't matter if you choose a variety of spells. Just specialize in the one you think is suitable for you."

"First-level spells are not as good as 0-level spells. They are much more difficult to learn and master."

"I have only mastered two first-level spells so far." Xu Qingzhi said, using himself as an example.

Cao Rui bowed to express his gratitude, and naturally knew that Xu Qingzhi was teaching him sincerely.

However, since I have experience beads, it would be a waste if I didn't learn a few more spells.

Of course, these cannot be told to outsiders.

After expressing his thanks, Cao Rui said goodbye and returned to the Alchemy Institute.

"With the help of experience pills, it takes about 3 days to get started with a first-level spell, 660 months for minor success, half a year for major success, and a year for perfection. In total, it takes days to practice a first-level spell to perfection."

"The five newly acquired first-tier spells, together with the Yellow Earth Shadow Escape spell I learned before, will make six first-tier spells."

"It will take about ten years to perfect all these spells."

"I also have to study and practice the new pill formula, so it will actually take me more time."

Cao Rui felt that his free time was suddenly fully scheduled.

"The road to becoming an immortal is long and arduous..." Cao Rui began his hard and fulfilling practice.
