Chaos Spirit Field

Time flies, days and months pass by like an arrow. It's been a month since Zhao Shanhe entered the Inner Sect. He's discovered that his cultivation speed isn't much faster than it was in the Outer Sect. The bonus he gets as a personal disciple is negligible for someone with five elemental spiritual roots.

Cultivating immortality is a profound discipline that requires diligent study, courageous practice, and the ability to summarize and summarize, ultimately finding the optimal training plan to achieve success. Zhao Shanhe felt that at his current cultivation rate, reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining would take three years. To reach Foundation Establishment, it would take at least fifty years, perhaps even longer.

Knowledge changes destiny. Zhao Shanhe found the answer in a book. The world of immortal cultivation holds numerous rare treasures that can enhance cultivation, something rarely found. Alchemy and formations, two of the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation, offer methods for increasing cultivation. The finest elixirs and the soul-stealing techniques of formation masters offer both rapid increases in cultivation, without any hidden dangers.

Elixirs are divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Those who refine low-grade elixirs are called apprentice alchemists, those who refine medium-grade elixirs are called alchemy masters, those who refine high-grade elixirs are called alchemy masters, and those who refine top-grade elixirs are called alchemy grandmasters.

The low-grade elixirs of the Qingniu Sect are generally used to feed spirit beasts, the mid-grade elixirs are for disciples to practice, the high-grade elixirs are generally used as rewards, and the top-grade elixirs are difficult to find and are generally eaten by the alchemists themselves. This is also the tacit understanding of the alchemist community.

The art of stealing souls must reach the level of a master of formations before it can be practiced. One needs to transform his body into a formation. If one's attainments in formations are not good enough, he will easily be counterattacked. He must also be able to find ownerless spirit veins, as owned ones can be easily killed.

Zhao Shanhe felt that his fire control skills were good and he might have the talent to be an alchemist. The biggest difference between inner disciples and outer disciples was that they could learn a lot of things for free, such as alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, and even the introduction to formations.

A master leads the way, but cultivation is up to the individual. After six months of unremitting effort, Zhao Shanhe had mastered all four arts of cultivation. Further study was difficult, however. Cultivators were selfish, and no master was willing to expend energy on the Five Elements spiritual roots; after all, cultivation was the foundation of everything.

Zhao Shanhe found that no one was willing to teach him, so he thought of the Chaos Spirit Field. As long as he found the corresponding secret book and planted it, it would be better than any master.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Finding the glowing secret book is no easy task. Zhao Shanhe planned to try his luck at the Qingniu Market, replenish his Chaos Spiritual Field, and try to synthesize a few more Orange Spiritual Fields.

Zhao Shanhe left the mountain gate and arrived at the Qingniu Market, eager to make a big move and spend all his resources. He first visited many shops, but found little and spent a lot of spirit stones.

Most of the spiritual herbs in the shop were processed, having lost their vitality and being impossible to plant. Another characteristic was that they were particularly old and therefore very valuable. Zhao Shanhe left the shop and browsed the stalls, collecting quite a few spiritual herbs. His frequent sales also attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.

If Zhao Shanhe saw the people following him, he would definitely recognize that one of them was the stall owner who sold him the star-fixing plate, and the other was Jia Renyi, the head of the Huangshan Sect.

Jia Renyi said, "Huang Shan, are you sure this person is just an outer disciple of the Qingniu Sect?"

"Master, I have seen his badge."

"You idiot, if you weren't so blind, how could you have sold our sect's most precious treasure for twenty-five spirit stones?"

Huang Shan had a lot of grievances. He was the grand elder of the Huangshan Sect. He had originally followed Jia Renyi's orders to sell the sect's resources to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. The two of them sold out all the sect's belongings, even dug up the ancestor's grave, and finally collected enough spirit stones to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.

A huge sect sold out everything in exchange for only two foundation-building pills. You should know that as long as the disciples of Qingniu Sect cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining, the sect will issue a foundation-building pill. This is also the reason why large sects never lack disciples.

Jia Renyi was lucky enough to advance, and he discovered a great secret from the notes of the Huangshan Sect's ancestor. The Huangshan Sect's ancestor was a treasure hunter, and the compass Huang Shan sold was a treasure hunter's special magical tool, the Star-Fixing Plate.

Zhao Shanhe had just left Qingniu Market when he sensed someone following him. Alarmed, he stopped, turned sharply, and shouted, "How dare you plot against Qingniu Sect disciples in broad daylight? Are you tired of living? Get out of here!"

Before he finished speaking, a man in a black robe slowly emerged from the darkness. His face was gaunt, and his eyes flickered. He quickly smiled and said, "Please calm down, fellow Daoist. Please don't misunderstand me. I mean no harm. I simply want to make a deal with you."

Zhao Shanhe frowned slightly and looked up and down at the strange man in front of him. He felt that he looked familiar. He asked doubtfully, "What kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

Huang Shan saw this and quickly explained, "Did you really forget? Three years ago, in this Qingniu Market, I sold you a compass for twenty-five spirit stones..."

"That happened three years ago? How can I remember it clearly? What compass?"

Faced with Zhao Shanhe's denial, Huang Shan couldn't help but feel anxious. He said, "Fellow Daoist, how can you deny it? I offered a thousand spirit stones, but you thought it was too expensive and didn't buy it."

Zhao Shanhe looked as if he had suddenly realized something. He said, "Oh, I remember now. That's what happened. You were the stall owner who asked for an exorbitant price and finally sold it to me for twenty-five spirit stones."

"Fellow Daoist, you remember now. That compass belonged to my ancestors. It is of great commemorative significance. I want to redeem it."

Zhao Shanhe said, "I had my senior brother melt down the compass you mentioned a long time ago. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Huang Shan'e said fiercely, "Fellow Daoist, you'd better hand over the compass. I can give you ten times the amount of spirit stones."

Zhao Shanhe said disdainfully, "Two hundred and fifty spirit stones, who are you trying to disgust? The one hiding in the dark, come out."

Jia Renyi came out from the darkness and said, "Huang Shan, there's no point in talking to him. Just kill him. And be sure to keep the treasure with you."

Huang Shan said, "Master, killing a disciple of the Qingniu Sect will have serious consequences and will implicate the Huangshan Sect. Fellow Daoist, as long as you hand over the Star-Fixing Plate, I will compensate you with one thousand spirit stones."

Zhao Shanhe said, "One thousand spirit stones are too few. Ten thousand spirit stones is the minimum."

Jia Renyi said sarcastically, "Ten thousand spirit stones are not enough. At least one hundred thousand spirit stones are needed. The lives of disciples from large sects are very valuable."

Zhao Shanhe didn't panic. He said, "The formation is ready. I'll send you on your way. I hope you won't let me down."

A flash of cold light flashed past, and Huang Shan's head flew up, his face still full of disbelief. Immortal cultivators are not immortals, and if their heads are gone, their lives are gone too.

Jia Renyi said, "Disciples from large sects are truly formidable. They nearly hurt me. Thank you for removing a burden for me. I've wanted to kill this idiot for a long time."

Zhao Shanhe said, "You are a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Jia Renyi said arrogantly, "You have some foresight. Hand over the Star Determination Plate and I will spare your life."

Zhao Shanhe said calmly: "It's just right for me to test the power of my sword intent on you. Look at the sword."

Jia Renyi said in horror: "This is impossible. How can someone in the Qi Refining Stage comprehend the sword intent? I won't accept this."
