The original repairer

Seeing that the situation was not right, Shi Chen immediately gave up going to the auction house. The pills he sent for auction were only ten low-grade foundation-building pills, worth about 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. He didn't know how much they would be sold for later.

The day after the auction, Shi Chen's strategy of having three burrows successfully avoided risks. After the first and second immortal stacks were surrounded by the army of cultivators, Shi Chen knew that his whereabouts of consigning foundation-building pills in the territory of Liehuomen for the past two months had been exposed. Perhaps many people had been planning for a long time, but they just didn't guess where Shi Chen would appear.

In each fairy city, Shi Chen and Xu Zijun disguised themselves as different cultivators, and at least two different fairy stacks.

Shi Chen had some guesses. Was it the Immortal City Lord? The owner of the auction house? Or perhaps a prominent family from the local Immortal City?

He did not investigate or inquire. The day after the auction, he saw the two immortal inns he rented surrounded by the monks' army, and he knew that something was wrong.

After traveling through several immortal cities, he finally returned on a large flying boat that passed by Qishafang City.

There are eight immortal cities, each of which sends more than a dozen foundation-building pills for auction. Except for Daqi Immortal City, which sends medium-grade foundation-building pills, the other immortal cities only send low-grade foundation-building pills.

I bought elixirs for the Foundation Establishment Pill in eight immortal cities, totaling sixteen portions.

A total of 106 low-grade foundation-building pills were consigned, and the last ten pills were not picked up.

The rental fee for the fairy inn in each fairy city is about one thousand, and the transmission fee is 26,000 low-grade spirit stones, and finally there is an income of more than 410,000 low-grade spirit stones.

There were three thousand mid-grade spirit stones that could be exchanged directly at the auction house. Shi Chen took away two thousand mid-grade spirit stones and placed fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones in his storage ring. He gave the remaining spirit stones to Huang Qi and his sister, and even gave them all the foundation-building pills.

Xu Zijun followed him throughout the whole process, enjoying the sights and sounds, eating and drinking to his heart's content. After returning to Qisha Market, Shi Chen still gave him two mid-grade foundation-building pills. Although he said they were useless to him, this pill was the most valuable one now. Whether as a gift or a favor, it was the best choice.

After several months, Shi Chen and his team only sold 121 low-grade foundation-building pills, and 315 were left with Huang Qi.

I don’t dare to bid for the mid-grade foundation-building pill. This pill is a deadly thing and I dare not sell it easily.

When the elixir is sealed in a jade bottle, restrictions are set to prevent the medicinal properties of the elixir from evaporating and losing its effectiveness. Generally, the elixir can be preserved for at least ten years without losing its efficacy. Some good jade bottles, combined with restrictions set by powerful spiritual consciousness, can retain the medicinal properties for a hundred years.

However, once it is opened and the restrictions are not resealed, the efficacy of the medicine will gradually be lost. The efficacy can be guaranteed if it is used within one year.

No matter what kind of elixir Shi Chen had, since he gained spiritual awareness, learned the basics of formations, and was able to set restrictions, he set a ten-year ban on each bottle of elixir.

For special high-grade elixirs and mid-grade foundation-building elixirs, each bottle has a restriction of twenty years.

A year passed quickly. When the market was settled this year, the sect sent a stranger from the sect who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining to take over the sect's affairs.

After Huang Qi handed over the resident affairs, he returned to the sect with Shi Chen.

But Xu Zijun didn't know what to do. The three of them were from the same sect and could go back together, but he couldn't visit other people's sects at will.

Within the sect, one must be an inner disciple or above to apply for a friend to enter the sect and stay temporarily for a period of time to exchange ideas. In addition, the sect must verify the detailed information of the friend entering the sect.

Xu Zijun really wanted to go, but the three of them had no choice because they had no right to bring outsiders into the sect.

Finally, under Xu Zijun's reluctant gaze, the three of them boarded the flying boat back to the sect.

Shi Chen had no choice but to tell him secretly that within two years, when Shi Chen had refined a top-grade foundation-building pill, he would go to Dayu Continent and Bingzhou Prefecture to find him and bring him a top-grade or above foundation-building pill.

Xu Zijun happily said goodbye reluctantly.

Twelve years have passed since he started practicing, and fifteen years have passed since he started practicing. He is now forty years old, but his appearance is almost the same as when he first started practicing. His cultivation has reached the perfection of Qi Refining. As long as he finds a suitable place to retreat and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he will soon become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. His status in the sect will be directly promoted to an inner disciple. If the sect master accepts him as a personal disciple, his status will be even higher.

However, his qualifications were too difficult for the major peak masters and elders of the sect to notice, and Shi Chen was self-aware.

The main purpose of returning to the sect is to be certified as a second-level alchemist, then exchange alchemy recipes, and learn spells for the foundation-building period.

Once he has learned what he needs to learn, he will apply to be stationed in one of the sect's immortal cities.

Shi Chen has the ability and qualifications.

They returned to the sect in ten days and verified their identities. Shi Chen and Huang Qi entered the sect after leaving for twelve years. The sect was still the same, but the outer disciples had been replaced many times. No one knew where the brothers who entered the sect together were, and no one knew whether the brothers who planted the spiritual fields together were still cultivating the spiritual fields.

The sect arranged for Shi Chen to be treated as an inner sect disciple. He lived on a small hillside on an island in the middle of a lake. There were hundreds of acres of lake water surrounding the island below. There were only two inner sect disciples living on the hilltop, hundreds of feet apart, one on the east side of the hill and the other on the west side.

The place where Shi Chen lived was on the west side of the slope, and on the east side of the slope on the other side was the cave of a senior brother.

There are bamboo forests and grass on this side. There is a small pier by the pond at the bottom of the slope, with a few wooden boats docked there.

The southern side of the lake's central island is closest to the mainland, and a stone bridge provides easy access. Once on the island, the bridge splits into two paths, the east and west. The pebble-paved path is lined with fragrant flowers and plants, and pavilions and buildings are located every few dozen feet.

The environment is beautiful and refreshing.

Shi Chen's cave has five wooden houses, the two middle ones are two-story pavilions with wooden stairs going up along the sides, and the other three are single-story, one is an alchemy room, one is a kitchen, and one is a utility room.

The main houses are two buildings in a row, both double-storeyed, with the lower one serving as the main hall and the upper one as the bedroom.

Five rooms half surrounded a large courtyard. The flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard were all exquisite, and the pavilions and corridors were all intricately carved. The entire cave was decorated with three layers of formations: a defensive formation, a spirit-gathering formation, and a trapping formation.

Shi Chen also set up the God-banning Restriction and the Silent Restriction.

Shi Chen was still very satisfied with this place.

The annual alchemist grade certification time has exceeded, but that is the fixed time for the first-grade alchemist certification. For the second-grade and above alchemist certification, as long as you apply, it can be carried out through a joint assessment by three or more alchemists in the sect.

On the second day after returning to the sect, many of the fellow disciples he had met came to congratulate Shi Chen on his return to the sect. Seeing that Shi Chen had already achieved perfect Qi training, everyone was surprised, and some of them were thinking about other things.

Even the Zhu family sent a manager, but Shi Chen was just polite and then treated them to a few banquets. After the banquet, everyone left.

On the third day after returning to the sect, Shi Chen carefully prepared six side dishes and personally delivered them to Senior Sister Qingling's cave. Unfortunately, the servants in the cave said that she was in seclusion and would not see guests, so Shi Chen had to deliver them to Senior Brother An's cave.

Senior Brother An warmly welcomed Shi Chen, took out some spiritual wine, and drank with Shi Chen.
