The original repairer

After Shi Chen entered the monster skin cave, he immediately put away the monster skin and closed the cave passage.

He knew that the commotion he had caused at the Thousand Poison Pond was too big, and that perhaps all the people outside were big shots, and as soon as he showed up, he would be caught and investigated.

You said you didn't get any rare treasure. We searched your body and forcibly removed the spiritual mark on the storage ring. If we didn't find it, we would study your body.

You said you didn't get the inheritance, so we used the secret method of spiritual consciousness to search your soul and take away your memory.

you are dead.

No matter whether what you say is true or false, the big guys will not believe it completely and will question it. Even if you give them the opportunity you get here, your end will still be just as miserable.

Unless your cultivation level is on par with theirs, no one will force you. Even if it means a fight to the death, they will consider whether it is worth it and what benefits they will gain.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the thatched hut to practice, the spiritual energy in the cave was still very sufficient. His spiritual roots were cleansed, and his practice improved much faster than before. It took him less than a year to advance from the first level of foundation building to the second level.

When he reached the third level of foundation building, his cultivation level improved very slowly and his efficiency dropped exponentially, so Shi Chen stopped practicing.

He already felt that if he continued to practice here, it would be difficult to break through his current level of cultivation and a bottleneck would appear. He needed to go out and explore the world to gain the opportunity to build the fourth level of foundation.

It has only been two years since he entered the Monster Skin Cave, and he dared not go out. For most cultivators, one or two years is nothing, and it is normal for some cultivators to retreat for ten or eight years.

It was impossible to go out, and the improvement of his cultivation was very slow. Shi Chen could only practice magic and learn various arts in the cave.

Alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, formation, puppetry, beast taming, etc., time is set aside every day to study and practice.

The first-level spell has been perfected and can be exchanged for nine second-level spells in the sect.

Second-level spells require foundation-building spiritual power to drive the casting in order to fully exert their power. If they are driven by spiritual power from the Qi Refining period, the maximum power can be 50%.

Shi Chen's spiritual power reserves are much greater than those of ordinary cultivators.

Shi Chen himself estimated that based on the Dantian reserves during the Qi training period, Shi Chen's Dantian reserves were ten times that of an ordinary cultivator.

The larger the Dantian's reserves, the more spiritual power gained from cultivation can be stored, and the more spiritual power is needed to fill the Dantian.

Normally, it would take a longer time for a cultivator to improve his cultivation level as his Dantian expands, unless your cultivation method is powerful enough to double the efficiency of your cultivation.

It is related to the cultivator's spiritual roots, the elixirs he uses, and the efficiency of spiritual energy conversion.

Shi Chen's spiritual roots were upgraded to the lower grade through the spiritual water in the secret realm, and were only a little away from reaching the middle grade.

Originally, it was a mixed spiritual root of low quality, but now, compared with it, the efficiency of cultivation has increased by two or three times.

Time passed slowly, and another year passed. Shi Chen was very anxious.

When he returned to the sect four years ago, he had promised Xu Zijun that he would go to Dayuzhou in one or two years to give him a top-grade foundation-building pill, but now he is trapped in the monster skin cave.

He didn't dare take the risk since it concerned his own life.

The second-grade spells have been cultivated to the level of mastery, especially the attack and defense spells, which have reached a small level of success.

Many cultivators in the late stage of foundation building may not be able to achieve minor success in second-grade spells.

The main thing is that monks not only need to practice to improve their cultivation, but also need to find resources.

Spirit stones are the most basic cultivation resource for cultivators. As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy the elixirs needed for cultivation.

There are many ways to obtain spirit stones. Collecting spirit medicines, spirit materials, refining pills and selling them, selling talismans, refining tools and selling them, puppets, formations, etc., all kinds of skills are a means of making money.

After reaching the foundation-building stage, cultivators all have their own skills.

Either refining pills, refining tools, drawing talismans, etc., or it can be a branch of this craft, extracting elixir liquid, refining tool embryos, making talisman paper and talisman skins, and processing puppet spiritual parts.

The elixir used in the initial stage of foundation building is Peiyuan Dan. A bottle of low-grade Peiyuan Dan costs fifty low-grade spirit stones, a bottle of medium-grade Peiyuan Dan costs one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and a bottle of high-grade Peiyuan Dan costs two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

You can also use Peiyuan Dan to practice in the middle stage of foundation building, but the effect of practice will be reduced by half.

The elixir suitable for mid-stage foundation-building cultivators is Xuanyuan Dan. A bottle of low-grade Xuanyuan Dan costs eighty low-grade spirit stones, a mid-grade one costs two hundred low-grade spirit stones, and a high-grade one costs five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

When practicing Taoism, money comes first. As long as you have resources, you will have the corresponding skills, techniques, tools, elixirs, talismans, etc.

Shi Chen doesn't have to worry about the elixirs he needs for his cultivation, but he needs to buy the corresponding treasures and talismans used in fighting.

You must have at least one or two attacking magic weapons, one or two defensive magic weapons, a flying boat for traveling, and talismans for fighting.

In the foundation-building stage, all the cultivation needs spirit stones to purchase.

The Basics of a Hundred Arts is just the basics. Most of the first-level recipes and techniques in the Qi training period are recorded there, and some of those above the second level are also involved, but there are only three or five.

Shi Chen has been learning the basics of a hundred arts for ten years. He cannot say that he is proficient in everything, but among the first-level crafts, he can at least do everything, and his success rate is still quite high.

He has learned all the basic theories, and is good at many things. As long as he has the formula and blueprints, he can make any first-level spiritual object. The formation is inherited from the Five Elements Sect, and after studying for several years, he can now set up a second-level formation.

Shi Chen changed his appearance and opened the passage to the cave.

Leave the water cave and close the passage.

He discovered that there were three layers of warning formations and one restriction at the entrance of the cave.

He easily broke the formation's restriction and came out of the cave. It was dark outside, and suddenly a cultivator in the late foundation building stage floated up below him.

"How did you appear here? The water cave under the Thousand Poison Pond is restricted to cultivators above the Jindan level. How did you get into the water cave and come out safely?" The cultivator stared at Shi Chen and asked.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I know a little bit about formations. I found something unusual about the water cave, so I went in to take a look." Shi Chen said calmly.

"Oh, is there anything unusual? So many cultivators have searched for treasures and opportunities in the Thousand Poison Pond, but they haven't found anything unusual. How come you found something unusual in this water cave?" The cultivator said, looking at the water cave in confusion.

"The entrance to the cave is restricted, so it cannot be found from the outside. You can find it after entering the water cave. It seems that this cave is unusual." Shi Chen lied.

"Really?" the monk asked in surprise, eyes wide open.

"We met by chance. Believe it or not, fellow Daoist. I've already gone in to check, but I can't see anything. Goodbye, I'll go look somewhere else." Shi Chen turned around and floated up without saying anything more to him.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay. Can you tell me in detail what's abnormal about this water cave? If you find anything, you will be rewarded handsomely!" The monk hurriedly stopped Shi Chen.

Shi Chen didn't stop. He faced the cultivator, watching cautiously, and slowly ascended. However, he still said, "Fellow Daoist, are you trying to force me to stay? If you want to know what's unusual, go in and see for yourself. What I discovered has nothing to do with you, so why should I tell you?"

The cultivator watched Shi Chen slowly rising up, struggling in his heart over whether to take action to stop Shi Chen. After thinking for three breaths and weighing the pros and cons, he could only watch Shi Chen float up and leave the Thousand Poison Pond.

Shi Chen floated to the surface of the Thousand Poison Pond, quickly went ashore, and then disappeared in the mist at the edge of the pond.
