It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

After the first success, the rest will gradually become easier.

In the next half month, she refined three batches of Qi Condensation Pills. Together with the first batch, she refined a total of thirteen pills.

For a beginner, this is a pretty good result.

Moreover, due to her insufficient spiritual power, it often takes her several days to refine a batch of pills. He is very satisfied with this achievement.

Next, Cheng Shuyan practiced alchemy while taking the pills he made.

Another eight months passed, and her success rate in refining Qi Condensation Pills had reached 70%, and she could produce at least four pills in each furnace.

Half a month ago, she successfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi training by relying on the medicinal power of the Qi Condensation Pill.

After her cultivation level improved, she tried to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill needed for the later stage of Qi training, and successfully refined two batches.

After putting away the pills, she left the cave.

After all, she had used up all her spirit stones...

These spirit stones were the compensation given to her by the ancestor of the Li family. Five thousand spirit stones were just enough to pay the rent for nearly a year.

In addition to the five thousand spirit stones, the Li family's ancestor also gave two spiritual weapons that could be used by cultivators in the Qi training stage, and several bottles of Qi Condensation Pills.

It was well thought out, and all of it was useful to her.

Now that all the spirit stones were used up, she could only return to the sect and think of ways to earn some more spirit stones.

Zhenren Wuwei has been traveling since she arrived in Lanxi Market, saying that she is looking for an opportunity to break through the bottleneck of the late Jindan stage.

Recently, Ji Qinglin also left the sect. After she returned to the sect, she only saw Jiang Hongyue. Li Zhixing was practicing all day and could not be seen easily.

"Senior Sister, this is the elixir I made recently. Please give it to my junior brother when he comes out."

Cheng Shuyan handed a few bottles of pills to Jiang Hongyue and gave her instructions.

She would give some of the pills she refined to Li Zhixing, but not much.

After all, if you rely on elixirs to improve your cultivation for a long time, it will easily lead to an unstable realm and accumulate elixir poison, which is not beneficial to your cultivation.

Jiang Hongyue took the pill and tilted her head to look at her: "Why don't you give it to him yourself? Aren't you not going back to Lanxi Market for the time being?"

"Sister, I want to go out and train for a while. Since I followed Master into the sect, I have never gone out to train, and I have no experience fighting against others.

It's definitely not possible to just work in isolation. Besides, I relied on the power of elixirs to advance from the fourth to the fifth level of Qi training in just one year. Now my spiritual energy is a little weak and needs to be slowly polished and condensed."

After hearing this, Jiang Hongyue checked her cultivation level, frowned slightly and nodded, "Indeed, your realm is indeed not very stable. Go ahead and be careful."

"Yes! Senior Sister, I will." Cheng Shuyan nodded heavily and gave Jiang Hongyue a reassuring smile.

"By the way, Senior Sister, do you know where the Shen family in Xunwuze is?"

She remembered the message Shen Yunjian left for her in Xuanyang City.

Now, there are less than nine months left until the seventh day of October three years later as he said.

The world of immortal cultivation is vast and boundless. If the distance is too far, it would be difficult for her to catch up with her speed.

"I know. Why are you asking this?" Jiang Hongyue was a little puzzled. After all, the Cheng Shuyan she knew was the one brought from the secular world by Master Wuwei.

She has never gone out alone since she joined the sect, so it is unlikely that she would come into contact with the Shen family.

"That's great, senior sister. Do you know how to get there? How long will it take?" She couldn't help but feel happy to get the news so easily.

Coming back to his senses, he remembered Jiang Hongyue's doubts and explained, "When I was in the secular world, I knew a friend who said he was from the Shen family in Xunwuze.

Since I was going out for training, I thought I might as well go visit a friend."

Jiang Hongyue nodded after hearing this: "I see, the Shen family is famous in the world of immortal cultivation for alchemy. If you can go to the Shen family to gain more experience, it will also be beneficial for your alchemy practice.

As for the journey...

If you are brave enough and go directly through the Yaoyue Mountains, you can get there in about two months.

But I guess you probably can't do it, so you can choose to bypass the Yaoyue Mountains from the east, and then head north to Xunwuze.

With your cultivation level, if you go all out, half a year will be enough."

"It's so far!" Cheng Shuyan was a little discouraged. Even if she traveled at full speed, it would take nearly half a year. What else could she gain experience for? She would just travel.

Seeing her deflated look, Jiang Hongyue couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

"Of course, there are ways to save effort. About half a month's journey north of Lanxi Market, there's a medium-sized market with a teleportation array that can teleport you to Xunwuze. This way, you can save about three or four months."

"Senior sister!"

……

Half a month later, Cheng Shuyan had arrived at the Pingshan Market that Jiang Hongyue mentioned. It was indeed much more lively than the Lanxi Market.

The people in Lanxi Market are mostly cultivators in the Qi training stage, and there are very few cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

However, it is obvious that there are more foundation-building cultivators in Pingshan Market, and the things that can be bought in various shops in the market are more comprehensive.

She was able to buy a lot of spiritual herb seeds for the foundation-building stage here, which she had not been able to buy in Lanxi Market before.

However, this would completely deplete the spiritual stones in her hands.

She also sold a lot of Qi Condensation Pills made from the spiritual herbs in the space and exchanged them for a lot of spirit stones.

However, at the rate she was spending money, she was still spending more than she earned.

She had already used up all the spiritual herbs accumulated in the space, so it was definitely not feasible to use the method of refining pills in exchange for spiritual stones.

If she wants to use the teleportation array to find Wu Ze, she needs one thousand spirit stones, which is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for her now.

In the past, there was no need to use spirit stones in the sect.

Having been accustomed to seeing her senior brothers and sisters being wealthy and powerful, and the domineering appearance of Master Wuwei at the auction, her concept of spirit stones became increasingly vague.

Later, she received another 5,000 spirit stones from the ancestor of the Li family. She lived in Lanxi Market for nearly a year and didn't feel anything was wrong.

After going out alone this time, she became short of money and finally understood what it meant that a penny can make a hero fall.

"Oh, is there any way to make money quickly..." Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but sigh and muttered to himself while walking on the street.

A woman in front of her seemed to have heard her words, came forward, and asked with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to earn spirit stones? I have a good idea, I wonder if you are interested?"

She looked at the woman, who seemed to be about the same age as herself, but her cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Qi training.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, her long hair was braided into a complicated braid and tied into a cute bun, with a light yellow flower ornament pinned on the bun, making her look very lively and playful.

However, the two of them had never met each other before, but she suddenly asked Cheng Shuyan this question, which made Cheng Shuyan feel defensive.
