Evil Dao Xiuxian: I can giantize elixirs and exotic beasts

Qian Xuefei looked at the two people talking about monsters and interrupted quietly, "I think my own strength is the most important thing. Spending too much spirit stones and energy on external things is missing the point..."

However, after she finished speaking, Qian Xuefei couldn't help biting her lip, and her mood became even more complicated. Xu Yang spent all his energy and spirit stones on cultivating his spirit pet, but his cultivation level was still catching up with hers.

If the resources were used on myself, wouldn't I... surpass her?

I feel like crying, this is impossible to chat with.

"That's right." When Pan Hu heard Qian Xuefei's words, he scratched his head honestly. His fiery emotions were quickly extinguished and he looked a little dejected.

None of them are second-generation immortals, so how could they have extra resources to cultivate spiritual pets? They can hardly afford the resources for their own cultivation.

"By the way, let's call Xu Yang for tomorrow's event." Pan Hu thought of something and turned to Qian Xuefei, who was a little dazed, and suggested.

"Ah? Good idea..."

Qian Xuefei came back to her senses and looked at the Soul-Eating Ant at Xu Yang's feet. Then she solemnly invited him, "Xu Yang, our group of disciples will have a small gathering tomorrow. Zhao Zixuan, Liu Feng, Qi Yu and others will be there. I hope you can come too."

"Don't refuse. There are benefits. It will be held at Juxian Tower in Luyang County at noon tomorrow." Qian Xuefei noticed Xu Yang's hesitation and quickly said another sentence.

"Hey, go ahead, Xu Yang."

"We were planning to kill monsters. A group of desert hyenas appeared in the Sand Valley. Most of them were first-, second-, and third-level monsters, with a few fourth-level ones. We have Zhao Zixuan, who is at the fifth level of the Soul Condensation Realm, and we have also invited a senior brother from the seventh level of the Soul Condensation Realm to support us, so we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Pan Hu stepped forward and put his arm on Xu Yang's shoulder. Noticing that Xu Yang was still silent, he added unhappily, "Even if you don't participate in the monster-killing operation, you should still attend the reunion with our fellow apprentices tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go to the party." Xu Yang knew he couldn't refuse, so he agreed with a wry smile.

Having gained a powerful helper, Pan Hu and Qian Xuefei were in a good mood. After saying goodbye to Xu Yang briefly, they left and returned to their small building.

In the past, they looked down upon Xu Yang, who was only at the first level of the Soul Condensation Realm and was taciturn and a loner. But now that they knew Xu Yang's "real situation", they naturally wanted to make friends with him and deepen the friendship between their fellow disciples.

......

......

Practice all night and the next morning.

Xu Yang stood up from his meditation, his cultivation level slightly improved, and the speed of cultivating the five spiritual roots was really maddening.

"The matter of the elixir must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Xu Yang was also speechless at his own cultivation speed. If he didn't think of some way, it would really take him two and a half years of hard practice to advance to the third level of the Soul Condensation Realm, and that was if he didn't encounter any bottlenecks.

After teasing the soul-eating ants for a while, Xu Yang went to the attic to check on the eight soul-eating ants upstairs. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he went downstairs and left.

Those living around here are all low-level disciples, and most of them are from the same batch.

Fengling Palace has many daily sect tasks. The spiritual medicine garden, spiritual beast pen, spiritual fields, etc. all require low-level disciples to work. Although mining is relatively tiring and has certain risks, it obtains the most contribution to the sect.

Mine market.

The Jiayisanjiu Mine is jointly developed by Fengling Palace, Tianming Sect, and Baihua Sect, so there are many cultivators gathered here, plus many independent cultivators nearby, so this market is still very prosperous.

Xu Yang first came to Fangshi Square, which was full of stalls selling all kinds of strange things.

Xu Yang’s goal was clear, and he stopped in front of a stall where spirit beast bags were placed.

The stall owner was a woman wearing a black cloak. She had a bloody aura about her, and even many of the things she placed were stained with blood.

The stall owner's black cloak was not unusual; more than half of the monks walking around the market wore masks or cloaks to conceal their appearance.

"Eight spirit stones." The cloaked woman noticed Xu Yang picking up the bag of low-grade spirit beasts from her stall and immediately stated the price. Her eyes from behind the black veil fell on the clothes of the inner disciple of Fengling Palace that Xu Yang was wearing, which was slightly different in color.

Fengling Palace, Tianming Sect and other three sects can be said to be the official forces in the Four Directions Realm. Their inner disciples are naturally envied and respected by ordinary cultivators.

Fengling Palace recruits disciples who are under 20 years old and cannot have any cultivation skills.

Those who are over the age or have obtained the cultivation techniques to become cultivators in advance are not allowed to join the sect. In addition, cultivators from small families and menial disciples have left the sect, resulting in a high proportion of independent cultivators in the four regions.

Menial disciples can leave the sect. As long as they serve as menial disciples for seven years, they can become free and no longer have to work as laborers for a large sect for the rest of their lives.

Xu Yang simply took out eight spirit stones, which were 20% cheaper than new ones and had a very high cost-effectiveness.

Xu Yang has no prejudice against second-hand items. Except for his wife, he can basically accept other second-hand things.

"Are you an alchemist?" After Xu Yang put away the spirit beast bag, he did not leave. Instead, he looked at the dozen or so bottles of pills placed on the stall, including magic-replenishing pills, essence pills, and spirit-gathering pills.

"No." The cloaked woman replied simply.

Xu Yang turned and left. After walking around the street stall square, he came to the shop area in the market town.

There are two long streets, and there are shops that basically meet all the needs of monks.

Xu Yang specifically went to medicine shops or general stores, but after walking around, his face became darker and darker.

He wanted to buy the recipe for the elixir, but the most common recipe for the magic-boosting elixir was priced at two hundred spirit stones, not to mention the recipes for the Juling elixir and Lanzhi elixir that could improve one's cultivation, which were priced at four hundred and fifty spirit stones.

"I'm also confused. Isn't it just waiting to be ripped off if I go to those medicine shops to buy it?"

Xu Yang looked at an old man who had just come out of the medicine shop and hurriedly chased after him.

When he came out just now, he heard that the old man was here to sell the pills he made, and he was obviously an alchemist.

His hair and beard were all white, and his face was thin. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but he walked with the gait of a dragon or a tiger. He did not restrain his aura and was a cultivator at the sixth level of the Soul Condensation Realm.

"Senior, I want to buy a pill recipe."

After Xu Yang stopped the old man, he did not beat around the bush and started to explain immediately.

The old man, whose way was blocked, looked unhappy, but seeing that Xu Yang was wearing the attire of an inner disciple of Fengling Palace, he forced himself not to lose his temper. Only after hearing what Xu Yang said did he calm down.

"What kind of pill recipe do you want to buy? I have the Soul Gathering Pill, the Essence Nourishing Pill, the Magical Replenishing Pill..."

Seeing that there were spirit stones to be earned, the old man pulled Xu Yang to the corner of the street and asked carefully.

"Uh..." Xu Yang spread his hands and said awkwardly, "Senior, there's no need to introduce so much. I'm short of money and only have twenty spirit stones to use. I wonder if we can exchange the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Pill?"

The old man stopped introducing the recipe of the elixir on his body and looked at Xu Yang speechlessly, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

"Senior, you're not losing out by trading with me. I can easily copy a recipe, and you can get twenty spirit stones right away. It's a zero-cost deal, so why not?"

Xu Yang noticed the old man's intention and quickly took out the spirit stone. He said quietly, "Look at this spirit stone. It's quite heavy."

The old man's eyes fell on the spirit stone in Xu Yang's hand. He pondered for a moment, then nodded with a look of having suffered a great loss. He said, "Since you want to get involved in alchemy, I, your senior, will give you some benefits."

The old man quickly put away the twenty spirit stones, then took out a pill recipe and handed it to Xu Yang.

The money and goods were exchanged, and both parties left happily.

The old man was willing to make the deal mainly because he felt that Xu Yang, a young man who wanted to get involved in alchemy, would not pose a threat to him, and might even be a flash in the pan. It wouldn't take long for him to understand the difficulties of being an alchemist and choose to give up.

Moreover, even if Xu Yang successfully refined the Spirit Gathering Pill, the old man would not suffer any loss, as the pills he refined were directly traded to the pill shop.
