Ball Ball Cultivation

In Qiuqiu's impression, this Gu feeds on the owner's essence and blood, or it is extremely poisonous, or at the very least some kind of poison.

However, as the Gu King of the cultivation world and the leader of the Spirit Insect Kings, Qiuqiu used spiritual pills and poison pills to feed the insects, but they were all despised by the arrogant little Gu Gu. Qiuqiu took the initiative to ask in a gentle voice: "Little Gu Gu, what do you like to eat? Don't always drink blood, or I won't like you anymore."

"Hmph, I want something delicious."

Then came Qiuqiu's various enticing questions. Little Gugu would complain, "I want something delicious. I'm hungry..."

Xuan Shen, who still needs to eat every day, rescued Qiuqiu. After the last fight, although Xuan Shen disliked Xiao Gugu on the surface, he still liked him very much in his heart. Several older brothers and sisters all had their own friends, but he only had the ignorant Xiao Xiangxiang (Wu Xiangliu) who always ignored him.

Now there is a cute little Gu Gu, who I want to tease whenever I see him. Today, I have a fried small yellow croaker snack, one for myself and one for the little Gu Gu. When Qiuqiu finished making the delicious food and Xuan Chen came over with him, we became eating friends.

No one knew where Xiao Gu Gu put the food, but his appetite was no smaller than Xuan Shen's. Qiu Qiu was just trying to become a fifth-grade alchemist, so after getting Xiao Gu Gu's consent, he handed him over to Xuan Shen's care.

It is not uncommon for a Jindan stage cultivator to become a fourth-grade alchemist. Duobao Pavilion has no less than a hundred of them, but there are less than ten fifth-grade alchemists in the entire Duobao Pavilion. Fifth-grade elixirs correspond to the elixirs taken in the Shenhua stage.

It is usually refined by those in the Nascent Soul stage and above. The ball is a chaotic spirit body with strong spiritual power and powerful consciousness comparable to that of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and it is also blessed by the alchemy furnace Qingmu Ding.

Qiuqiu felt that he could still challenge himself to become a fifth-grade alchemist. A fifth-grade pill cost top-grade spirit stones, and a furnace of pills was worth dozens of times the value of a fourth-grade pill. He was fighting for the spirit stones.

The key is that after Qiuqiu successfully formed a pill, the spiritual energy in the space formed a tide, which accelerated the ripening of many high-level spiritual plants that had exhausted their potential. This can be used as a training ground for Qiuqiu. After handing the Gu Gu to Xuan Shen, Qiuqiu began to refine the fifth-grade pill.

Bai Yi, with the help of the Duobao Jade, has already gained some influence in Duobao Pavilion and is now cultivating his own team. If Qiuqiu becomes a fifth-grade alchemist, and even produces a fifth-grade elixir with unique vitality properties, Bai Yi's influence in Duobao Pavilion will be incomparable.

After repeated failures, summaries, and attempts, Qiuqiu's spiritual energy was exhausted and he began to practice again. His cultivation level at the advanced Golden Core stage was completely stabilized, but he still lacked combat experience.

After countless attempts and revisions, Qiuqiu was always missing the final step. For some reason, even though the initial steps in the elixir formation were nearly perfect, the final elixir was a waste. The elixir residue was poured into the medicinal fields, where the spiritual herbs grew lushly.

Exhausted, Qiuqiu put aside his alchemy and wandered through space, reaching the gate of the former Xuanxi Palace and hesitating. This time, Qiuqiu's weapon spirit had fallen into a deep sleep. He wondered if he had truly become the weapon spirit of the Xuanxi Palace. If he truly merged with it, could this unknown Xuanxi Palace be used for his own benefit?

I don't know if there are any alchemy tips in it. The alchemy tips that Bai Yi exchanged for points were rather general. Without the guidance of a master, Qiuqiu made the alchemy based on his own understanding, which made him unable to make further progress and entered a bottleneck period.

After some self-reflection, he calmly went to refine the fourth-grade pill. Qiuqiu knew that Bai Yi had a hard time. Bai Er also practiced the skills of the Merit Immortal lineage. He was a promising fighter with thunder attributes, but he wanted to take a completely unrelated path. Qiuqiu would never believe that he didn't want to help Bai Yi gain a foothold and help himself support his family.

I had the same idea when I tried to refine high-level vitality pills, but too much is as bad as too little. If you are not calm, you will not be able to succeed.

After figuring it out, Qiuqiu refined another batch of fourth-grade pills. After leaving the space, he and the cook prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone. The whole family was very happy to eat and drink together.

Xiao Huang, who had not been seen for many days, also came back. This time, his cultivation level had returned to the Golden Core Stage. His whole body was dark yellow, except for the crown on his head which was golden yellow. His body had also become a circle bigger.

Seeing Xiao Gu Gu eating spicy spiritual beef with Xuan Shen at the table, the gleam in her eyes was hard to ignore. Compared with the delicious food in front of her, Xiao Gu Gu was completely unattractive.

Little Gu Gu, who was eating delicious food, was trembling!

Birds eat insects; it's a natural law, unchangeable. Gugu is all over Qiuqiu, unequivocally arrogant, and while he's not exactly bossy with Xuanshen, he's fair and square. He'll eat just as much as Xuanshen when it comes to delicious food, but he'll instantly back down when it comes to Xiaohuang. Everyone's just laughing.

Qiuqiu smiled at Little Gu King and said, "Little Gu Gu, if you don't listen in the future, we will hand you over to Little Huang. If you behave well and practice hard, we will give you delicious food."

The shivering poor little Gu Gu said: "I will be good and obedient." He didn't even eat the delicious food and ran into the ebony pot to hide.

Xiao Huang spoke this time: "This little insect king is pretty good, Xuanshen? Where did he get it from?"

"No, it's mine. It was given to me by the Miao Saint. She said it has the potential to be the Golden Gu King. I don't know what the future will be like." Qiuqiu answered simply.

"That's no wonder. The more powerful one over there is Yin Gu, but now he is getting along well with Xuan Shen, and there is no impact on either side. It seems that after you signed the contract, the Gu King's attributes have changed along with his master. His main attributes are now balanced between yin and yang, and he doesn't need the master's essence and blood to nourish him. He has more room to grow. He feels very comfortable around Xuan Shen, a boy with water and light attributes."

"The Gu King protects its master from all poisons, as many cannot get close to it. Even if it does, it can be devoured by the Gu King at any moment. It can also protect the master's heart meridians and, in critical moments, provide life-saving support. Even for difficult-to-heal injuries like broken tendons, the Gu King can slowly repair them. It's a rare treasure, but it's still in its larval stage, so it's of little use, just a deterrent."

After hearing this, everyone started to pay a little more attention to the future Golden Gu King, and then they started eating all kinds of things.

Bai Yi and Bai Er were about to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and were about to prepare for Dan Formation. Qiuqiu had already shared his Dan Formation experience with them. However, they were still White Tigers and wanted to know the spirit beast's Dan Formation experience.

Xiao Huang didn't hold back and directly gave them a leaf. They looked at it while he explained. Finally, he said, "The spatial laws are incomplete. It's safe and rich in spiritual energy, but it can't form a pill. I tried to form a pill in the space, but it seemed like something was constantly suppressing me from forming a pill."

The speaker of this sentence may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Qiuqiu knows that the rules of space are incomplete. When he refines elixirs by himself, the fourth-grade ones are successful, but the fifth-grade ones always fail. He always thinks that his method of refining elixirs is wrong, and completely forgets that for high-level elixirs to be successful, they must be recognized by the rules.

All elixirs of the fifth rank and above possess danwen, a manifestation of a principle. This was the result of many days of accumulation, and Qiuqiu had a small epiphany in alchemy. With this sudden enlightenment, his consciousness became even more focused. He immediately rushed to the alchemy room, which he had only used a few times, and took out the Qingmu Ding and herbs to begin refining the commonly used fifth-rank elixir, the Yunling Pill.

After four hours of experience, Qiuqiu finally refined three fifth-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills based on countless failures. Having exhausted both his spiritual energy and consciousness, Qiuqiu entered a state of cultivation. This was a blessing in disguise, and his cultivation progressed slightly.

For the next three months, Qiuqiu entered a frenzied alchemy mode, refining the common fifth-grade elixirs Yunling Dan and Yunshen Dan. From only being able to produce three low-grade pills, to a full ten pills, and occasionally one to three high-grade pills, his progress was truly rapid.

With ten days left before the auction, Qiuqiu had almost finished refining the interstellar herbs. Previously, he had sold spiritual plants directly, but now he was selling them as medicinal pills, which brought in profits a hundred times higher.

Qiuqiu took the fifth-grade elixir and a large number of third- and fourth-grade elixirs, and together with Bai Yi and Bai Er, bargained with the Pavilion Master and the Third Elder.

The final stipulation: Due to Bai Yi's numerous contributions and the support of a special fifth-grade alchemist, Bai Yi enjoyed all the privileges and rights of the Second Elder before his Dan-Cheng. After Dan-Cheng, he could exercise the full authority of the Second Elder, provided he possessed the necessary strength. This meant either possessing Nascent Soul-stage combat power or having a Nascent Soul-stage thug. Otherwise, even if the elders and the Pavilion Master delegated power to Bai Yi, he would not have the strength to control it, as the Guard was paramount.

This result is the result of the joint efforts of the third elder, the fifth, sixth, ninth, and tenth elders.

Of course, Qiuqiu's elixirs were also bought at a high price. Qiuqiu only kept the top-grade third and fourth-grade elixirs, and most of the top-grade fifth-grade elixirs. He only released less than ten top-grade fifth-grade elixirs as a gimmick for the auction.
