Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 87: Jingxian Pavilion. (Second update!)

A moment later, Zheng Que strode out of the pharmacy.

This time, he spent a total of 175 spirit stones to buy the elixir.

The last medicine book only cost three spirit stones.

There is no record of that great medicine in the inheritance left by the mayor's ancestors.

Therefore, he bought a medicine book, firstly to know the name and specific effects of the big medicine; secondly to increase his knowledge about medicine.

If you come across any precious treasures in the future, you will not be unable to recognize them.

"One hundred and seventy-eight spirit stones..."

"This spirit stone is used up so quickly!"

Zheng Que secretly sighed, alchemists really make money!

The mayor's ancestral heritage actually also includes alchemy, and there are also recipes for several common elixirs.

His original plan was to let Ku Lan learn alchemy, but now that he can earn a lot of spirit stones by selling ghost servants, it would definitely be more convenient to just buy ready-made pills!

After all, even if Ku Lan could really learn how to refine pills, it would take time, and what he lacked most now was time!
I can only consider these things after I have overcome this disaster and have more time...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que once again came to the stall selling the [Breath-Suppressing Talismans]. Looking at the numerous talismans on the stall, he said directly, "Fifty [Breath-Suppressing Talismans], and fifty [Flame Tongue Talismans]."

As he spoke, he immediately took out fifty spirit stones.

After buying the talisman, Zheng Que went to several stalls selling talismans and bought a talisman to save his life.

This is a cloud-shaped jade pendant that can be used to store spiritual power when the wearer is idle. When the wearer is fatally injured, the jade pendant will shatter, and the spiritual power stored inside will instantly spread throughout the body, blocking the fatal blow for the wearer.

And, in the short period of time that follows, it will enhance the wearer's strength.

This talisman is much more expensive than ordinary talismans, and it cost him a full 150 spirit stones.

Of the spirit stones I earned from selling the ghost servant yesterday, only a dozen or so are left...

Zheng Que shook his head slightly. He had originally wanted to go to Jingxian Pavilion, but he was afraid that the spirit stones he had now were not enough.

After all, he still needs to save some spirit stones to break through the fourth level of Qi training.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que turned and left the offering square.

A moment later, he returned to his room in the Fulai Inn.

As usual, he checked the house and found nothing wrong, so he let Kulan out: "Kulan, protect me."

Ku Lan immediately responded, "Yes, sir."

Zheng Que sat down on the edge of the bed, took out a [Peiyuan Pill] and swallowed it.

As the pill enters the mouth, a mellow and gentle medicinal power dissipates, and the whole body feels as if immersed in a hot spring of suitable temperature, with indescribable comfort.

He immediately practiced his skills to absorb the medicinal power.

After a while, Zheng Que stopped practicing his skills. The medicinal power of the [Peiyuan Pill] had been completely absorbed by him.

But apart from feeling more comfortable physically, he did not feel any changes in his spiritual power.

It seems that his spiritual power is now very condensed, and the [Peking Yuan Pill] cannot play any role in his current spiritual power...

Seeing this, Zheng Que frowned slightly, but without delay, he took out a medium-grade [Qi Gathering Pill], put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

The pill did not melt immediately after entering the mouth, but instead it was like a piece of broken ice, continuously emitting a chill.

He just practiced his skills a little bit, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the Yin energy mixed in it rushed into his body like a shark seeing blood.

Zheng Que didn't dare to absorb the spiritual energy of ten spirit stones at the same time, but instead took two spirit stones in each hand and placed them in his hands.

Then, he began to practice the [Seed Life Technique] with all his strength.

The spiritual power wrapped in coldness roared into his limbs and bones. Zheng Que felt as if he was thrown from a hot spring into a cold pond, and every part of his body was cold.

His complexion gradually paled, and the pale white mist within his Qi Sea continued to grow and solidify. After a while, the mist within his Qi Sea seemed to stabilize, no longer changing, but his body continued to frantically absorb the spiritual energy and Yin energy that surged in.

Zheng Que heard his own heartbeat particularly clearly and powerfully, like the sound of a drum beating against his ears.

dong... dong... dong...

In a moment, like fireworks exploding, the white mist in his sea of ​​​​qi suddenly exploded, turning into countless trickles, and instantly spread throughout his body.

The fourth level of Qi training period!
※※※

Offering Square.

Jingxian Pavilion.

Underground tunnel.

Four monks in uniform black robes, along with a large group of mortals, walked towards the bottom of the corridor.

In the darkness and confusion, two of the four cultivators walked in the front to lead the way, and the other two walked in the back to follow. The aura around these four cultivators was condensed, and they were all at the ninth level of Qi training.

Among them were one hundred and eight mortals, both men and women, all strong and healthy young men between their twenties and thirties.

At this moment, all mortals' faces were filled with excitement, anxiety, and desire.

They were wearing new clothes that had been distributed to them, and the ends of their hair still had the slightly damp scent of a recent bath.

"Master, are you really going to give us the elixir of immortality?"

At this time, a young man who was just in his twenties suddenly asked.

The two monks walking in front didn't even turn their heads. One of them said calmly, "We seek immortality and the Way. We must be sincere and truthful, and keep our words and do what we say. How could I deceive you?"

"Just rest assured."

"When we reach the Jiyuan, we will distribute the elixir of immortality."

Upon hearing this, another woman with a gentle temperament asked cautiously, "Master, I am a mortal woman who has taken on the body of my parents. I wish I could repay their kindness in raising me. Now that my parents are old and frail, and suffering from illness, could you please give this elixir of immortality to them?"

Another monk walking in front replied calmly: "No."

"You were able to obtain the elixir of immortality because you received a chance bestowed by the heavens."

"Opportunity is determined by heaven."

"For those without destiny, even if they force themselves to take the elixir of immortality, it will only do harm and no good."

"Okay, we're here, everyone, be quiet."

As they were talking, they came to a stone gate. The stone gate was carved from a whole piece of rock and covered with complex runes. The temperature in front of the gate dropped significantly, and there were even patches of frost and snow on the stone walls on both sides.

Every mortal who came here would subconsciously hug their arms to keep warm.

The two monks in the front immediately raised their hands and pushed open the heavy stone door, boom!
As soon as the stone door opened a crack, a strong and cold wind blew up from behind the door, howling like an angry man.

A cold wind swept into the corridor rapidly, making everyone feel cold all over. Behind the stone gate was a flat and open square, with a meter-high alchemy furnace placed in the middle.

Three alchemists sat cross-legged on three sides of the furnace, quietly waiting for something.

The monk leading the way gestured to the mortals behind him to follow him inside.

Seeing that they had arrived, these mortals immediately looked around curiously, with confusion and expectation in their eyes, but no one dared to speak without permission.

The few people walking in front soon followed the two monks to the square. They immediately saw that there was a bottomless abyss below the other side of the square!

Black fog lingered in the abyss, and in the fog, piles of bones like mountains appeared and disappeared like islands scattered in the sea.

A chilling feeling as strong as substance kept rising from the abyss.

Looking at this scene, the mortal walking in front was stunned for a moment. He felt a chill rising from his tailbone, which instantly seized his mind. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

At this time, one of the alchemists said calmly: "Open the furnace and make the elixir!"
