Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Gu Chi also hoped that Liu Qingyun had not discovered their secret. Such a sweet and lovely little senior sister made people want to protect her, and she didn't want to assume malice towards her.

And from the contact just now, Liu Qingyun really seemed to have not noticed anything wrong in the medicine garden.

"Let's go to the waterfall and see for ourselves."

After seeing Liu Qingyun completely walk out of the medicine garden, Gu Chi immediately ran towards the waterfall in front and carefully surveyed the surrounding area. There was no sign of the prohibition seal they set up here being damaged.

"It seems that I worried too much." Gu Chi said.

In the following days, Gu Chi began to continue expanding the space of the cave. Previously, because the weapons were not strong enough, he had to use up six or seven weapons before he could open up that little space.

Now, her Cuoyuqie was not only refined again, but also integrated with the golden silk of autumn silkworms. It was not only sharp but also strong. In just half a day, they had fully opened up their cave.

The big black dog was studying several books on formations and restrictions at the foot of a sacred tree not far away.

It likes formations and restrictions, and has a good talent in this area, so Gu Chi caters to its preferences and lets it focus on this.

Half a month later, the virtual number on the amethyst distributed to them by the Foundation Establishment Elder was finally confirmed, from seven thousand to eight thousand, adding up to a total contribution value of sixteen thousand.

The man and the dog immediately rushed to the sect's exchange bureau. They were smiling when they went in, but when they came out, the smiles on their faces had disappeared.

"Hey, don't you think of me, my dear? I finally got you here. What do you want?"

The middle-aged supervisor of the exchange bureau was pleasantly surprised to see Gu Chi and the big black dog again. He didn't expect that they could actually walk out of the Beiyin Mountains alive.

However, he also knew that Gu Chi had run away secretly, so he did not take the initiative to ask about their experience in Beiyin Mountain.

"Wow! Eight thousand contribution points?! Master Gu, which sect's elder did you kidnap? You've become rich!"

"Come, come, I have a new batch of spiritual weapons and magical instruments that I just received from the Suzaku Hall. They are all of top quality."

"This is a new batch of elixirs that the Qinglong Hall has received. They are very effective in improving your cultivation!"

Gu Chi's head was still buzzing. He lost himself in the middle-aged manager's repeated calls of "Mr. Gu" and exchanged many things in a daze.

The big black dog glanced at her sideways. Just now in the exchange bureau, Gu Chi was like a nouveau riche, and no one could stop him. If he hadn't bit her ankle and woke her up in pain, the 16,000 contribution points might have been squandered.

After returning to the spiritual medicine garden, Gu Chi planted several spiritual herbs for refining foundation-building pills in the cave behind the waterfall, and used the [Root of Tao] to warm and purify them.

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Of the five years of longevity points, 2 points were added to [Body Movements], 2 points were added to [The Fundamentals of Taoism], and 1 point was added to [Magic Power].

Current attribute values:

[The root of Tao]: 6 points.

【Strength】: 20 points.

【Mana】: 6 points.

【Agility】: 5 points.

【Spirit】: 0 points.

In Gu Chi's understanding, the attribute of [Spirit] should be related to spiritual consciousness, so he has not thought of adding longevity points to it for the time being, and feels that their current spiritual power is enough.

Five years later, after taking various elixirs and cultivation pills to increase their cultivation, they, the man and the dog, finally reached the tenth level of Qi training and could try to build their foundation.

The sect competition that takes place every five years is about to begin, but Gu Chi has no intention of participating this year. Their current contribution points are sufficient, and they have almost exchanged for all the things they need to exchange, so there is no need to show up in public.

"We have reached the tenth stage of Qi training and can try to refine the foundation-building pill."

Gu Chi walked to an alchemy furnace, looking solemn and reverent. Over the years, she had been studying books on alchemy in addition to practicing. During this period, she had also tried to refine several batches of pills, and the quality was very good. Now she was full of confidence in refining the foundation-building pill.

But before that, she and Big Black Dog came to an incense burner and solemnly lit three incense sticks, muttering to herself, "I will start refining the elixir today. I hope the gods and Buddhas in heaven will give me some face and help me succeed."

The big black dog nodded repeatedly, hoping that the gods and Buddhas in heaven would give it some face.

"Alright, Old Black! Open the furnace! Make the elixir!"

Gu Chi shouted loudly, straightened his robe, came to the alchemy furnace, slammed the top cover of the alchemy furnace away with a clang, and added various medicinal materials into it.

Soon, flames began to dance, and the alchemy furnace, which was half a person's height, was burning red, with wisps of light smoke rising from the furnace mouth.

Gu Chi sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, transforming his magic power into flames. His whole body was glowing and his appearance was solemn and majestic.

The big black dog lay beside him and waited quietly. When he looked at Gu Chi, his eyes were full of admiration.

The alchemy was finally finished until the sun set and night fell. Gu Chi slapped the top cover of the alchemy furnace away, and it fell fifty meters away with a "clang".

The big black dog didn't mind the trouble and thought it was a necessary ritual. He ran out quickly and brought back the top cover.

A man and a dog came to the alchemy furnace, stretched their necks to look inside, but there was no auspicious light or colors bursting out, only a pile of ashes inside.

"..."

Gu Chi's face was filled with black lines. He actually failed? !

"That shouldn't be the case. What went wrong?"

Gu Chi pinched her chin and muttered, could it be that the gods and Buddhas in heaven were not giving her face and were secretly trying to trip her up?

However, she didn't know that just when this thought came to her mind, a terrible earthquake occurred in the depths of the distant Hongmeng Universe.

"I'm saying, since she couldn't make the elixir herself, why does she blame us?!" Such an angry and dissatisfied voice came from the depths of the universe, and there was an infinite amount of primordial purple energy surging, stabilizing this turbulent universe.

"She can't even refine a foundation-building pill. Shouldn't she think about her own reasons? Do you really want us to go down to the mortal world and refine it for her? How unreasonable!"

"Gods and Buddhas, please bless me! Why don't you just tell her to become an immortal in one step?!"

The other two voices rang out, full of energy and suppressed anger.

"We're here to defend against the extraterritorial demons, yet we're constantly being influenced by her. Do you really think we're all good-tempered?!"

"Forget it. It's not a big deal anyway. Just help her a little, so that she won't say anything more extreme." Such a vicissitudes of life voice came from the distant end of another direction. One can imagine the appearance of an old immortal with white hair and beard, and an immortal look.
