Mortal Cultivation: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 5: Qi Training Completed
In the past two years, Wang Jue has become a master of alchemy with the help of the proficiency panel. Although he only refines elixirs for use by cultivators in the Qi training stage, he is still quite famous in the Taiyue Immortal House. He has also met many cultivators, both independent cultivators and outer disciples of the Huangfeng Valley, which has given him more channels for obtaining information.

During this period, some independent cultivators also asked Wang Jue to explore the cave dwellings of their predecessors, but he refused them all. In his opinion, if one's weaker, one should avoid going into dungeons, especially those where the degree of danger was unknown, as going there would most likely lead to one's death. He had the help of the golden finger, so he only needed to develop slowly.

However, elixirs can indeed assist in cultivation, for example, speeding up Wang Jue's efficiency in improving his proficiency. Just when he thought he would have to wait two years before he could enter the Huangfeng Valley, someone he met in the Hongchen Pavilion came to him for help. This person's name was Chen Yaotian, and he was a direct descendant of the Chen family, one of the three major immortal cultivation families in the Huangfeng Valley.

Chen Yaotian is also an inner sect disciple of Huangfeng Valley. He has reached the great perfection of Qi training. He usually likes to come to Hongchen Pavilion of Taiyue Xianfang to listen to music. By the way, he also has a cousin named Chen Qiaoqian, who is the tragic female character who was later molested by Han Lao Mo.

Chen Yaotian was a generous person, and Wang Jue could get along well with him. Mainly because Wang Jue felt that this person had good character, so he told him that he had the Ascension Order, hoping that he could find an elder in Huangfeng Valley to introduce him to the sect, which would be much safer.

Chen Yaotian was a little surprised when he knew that Wang Jue had the Ascension Order. After all, this thing had not appeared for many years. However, for a direct disciple born in a family of immortal cultivators, the Ascension Order was actually not that precious.

A few days later, Chen Yaotian brought Wang Jue to the outer gate of Huangfeng Valley, where an outer gate manager in the foundation-building stage met him. Through Chen Yaotian's introduction, Wang Jue learned that this manager was actually an elder of the Chen family.

Manager Chen looked to be around forty years old, with a short beard and particularly deep eyes. He used the divine eye technique to look Wang Jue up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he smiled and said, "You are so young but you have already reached the late stage of Qi training. You have a good chance of building a foundation in the future. I can introduce you to the sect. You have the Ascension Order, and I can guarantee that your foundation-building pill will not be taken away by others. But I hope you can agree to one condition of mine."

Wang Jue was not surprised to hear this. There is no good thing in this world without a reason, so he asked directly: "What are the conditions?"

"I hope you can remember this favor. If you build your foundation or even form a pill in the future, you can help my Chen family a little." Manager Chen said.

Wang Jue smiled and said, "Of course!"

For the Chen family, it was just a favor, but for Wang Jue it was a great help, and it didn't need to be fulfilled immediately. Who knows what will happen in the future.

With the help of Manager Chen, Wang Jue successfully entered the Huangfeng Valley and became its outer disciple. He also obtained a low-grade foundation-building pill. For Wang Jue, the biggest advantage of the Huangfeng Valley was its safety, and there was also a stable source of skills and spells. He just needed to gain contribution points.

The treatment of the outer disciples of Huangfeng Valley is not that good. They can only live in caves in the mountains. Unless they break through the foundation building stage, they will be qualified to open a cave dwelling. Wang Jue still lives in an independent courtyard in Taiyue Xianfang. The facilities here are complete, and Wang Jue has gotten used to living here and does not want to run around.

In order to acquire the skills and spells for the Foundation Establishment Period, Wang Jue took on many tasks for Huang Feng Valley to refine pills. This was both safe and would improve his proficiency in refining pills. He could also take the opportunity to get some benefits for himself. For example, his success rate in refining pills would be higher than others, so the extra pills would be his gain.

What Wang Jue didn't expect was that he was discovered by a female cultivator when he was secretly putting extra pills into his storage bag in the Alchemy Hall. The female cultivator's surname was Nie. She was a blue-dressed woman with creamy skin and a gorgeous face, like a fairy. She was also good at refining pills and often did tasks in the Alchemy Hall. In Wang Jue's memory, this Senior Sister Nie was a background character who appeared in the original novel, but she should have entered the Yellow Maple Valley at the same time as Han Li, but now something has changed. She actually entered the Yellow Maple Valley earlier than Wang Jue, but it doesn't matter anymore. After all, the butterfly effect has made Wang Jue accept a lot of changes.

Wang Jue was not familiar with the stunningly charming Senior Sister Nie, but this woman always liked to find fault with him, probably because the elders of the Alchemy Hall would sometimes praise Wang Jue's alchemy skills in front of everyone, which made Senior Sister Nie a little dissatisfied. After all, before Wang Jue arrived, she was the one who was praised.

In fact, the elder of the Alchemy Hall knew that Wang Jue secretly took the elixir to practice, but he didn't care, because Wang Jue could complete the alchemy task perfectly every time, and he could refine more elixirs with the same amount of medicinal materials, so it was also Wang Jue's ability to take the elixir back.

“Junior brother, how could you hide the elixir secretly? If the elders find out, they will punish you.” Senior Sister Nie said, staring at Wang Jue’s storage bag.

Wang Jue was speechless after hearing this. He teased, "Senior Sister Nie, you usually look so dignified and elegant. I thought you were a fairy who was not interested in worldly things. Do you think the elders don't know that I stole the elixir? You always target me like this. Are you interested in me?"

"You, what are you talking about, I just wanted to..." Senior Sister Nie blushed. She was embarrassed to say that she was jealous that Wang Jue's alchemy skills were higher than hers, but she just didn't want to admit it.

Now that Wang Jue had teased her again, Senior Sister Nie naturally did not dare to continue to put on airs in front of Wang Jue, so she simply flew away on her sword.

Wang looked at Senior Sister Nie's skirt fluttering in the sky with despair. He smiled and said, "This is youth. Sometimes it's quite interesting to quarrel with this beauty. However, my cultivation has reached the twelfth level of Qi training, and it's not far from the foundation-building stage. However, I still lack the contribution points required to exchange for the skills. The cattle and horse management system of the Yellow Maple Valley is really amazing."

Spring went and autumn came, and two years had passed. The Alchemy Hall was still as busy as before. However, in addition to refining pills, Wang Jue was also teaching the newcomers on behalf of the Alchemy Hall elders. The Alchemy Hall elders also intended to accept Wang Jue as a disciple, but after Wang Jue's talent for alchemy became higher and higher, he gave up.

Now Wang Jue can even refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. If it weren’t for the scarcity of medicinal materials, he could have mass-produced it.

Wang Jue has already reached the great perfection of Qi training. The contribution points he accumulated through alchemy have finally allowed him to exchange for foundation-building skills and corresponding spells. He has not used any of the foundation-building pills in his hand yet.

Wang Jue did not intend to use the Foundation Establishment Pill. Not to mention that using the Foundation Establishment Pill itself carries the risk of failure in breakthrough, and also, is it certain that there will be no problem if he takes the pill? As an alchemist, he knows very well that this is impossible.

The practice method of crazy drug taking like Han Li is itself unreasonable. He only found a way to remove impurities from his body through body training later and thus avoided any harm. Ordinary people should not learn from him. If you don't have the life of a protagonist, you still have to be careful.
