My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 178 Escorting Again

have to say,

The benefits of the Earth Vein Spirit Milk to Shen Changchuan are simply too great!

Although at the very beginning,
Shen Changchuan felt a deep envy, jealousy, and resentment towards those aristocratic scions who relied on spending money and consuming drugs.
But in the past year

Anyway,
He has effectively become a member of the pay-to-win, drug-using trend.

even,
Within this year,

The pills he consumed were more expensive and more numerous than those of the direct descendants of many aristocratic families!
After all, the Biyuan Jingling Pill, which improves one's foundation and enhances one's spirit, is something that cannot be bought even with spirit stones.

But precisely because of this,

Deep within his body, there was a considerable amount of residual medicinal power, peony poison, and hidden injuries left from the violent medicinal power washing over his meridians and dantian.

Although the human body has the ability to self-heal and automatically expel impurities such as erysipelas.

However, Shen Changchuan was clearly taking the pills more frequently than his body could recover.

Although the residual medicinal power, elixirs, and hidden injuries are small, they will eventually accumulate and become an obstacle when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But the appearance of the earth vein spiritual milk, a rare treasure formed by heaven and earth, solved everything!
"Compared to the earth vein spiritual milk's ability to transform bones and strengthen physical attributes, its ability to cleanse the body's dantian and meridians, solidify the foundation of magical power, and refine the body is undoubtedly more important to me!"

The scenes of soaking in the earth vein essence flashed through my mind.

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but think to himself.

Now, after being tempered and cleansed by the earth's spiritual milk, he feels light all over.

Without saying anything about becoming a flawless being,

That's definitely much better than before I started cultivating by taking pills!
And this also means that,

For the rest of the journey, he can use pills to quickly improve his strength.

"Now that I've advanced to the mid-stage of the eighth level, the problem of my unstable foundation has been resolved thanks to the tempering effect of the earth vein spiritual milk. Next, I need to quickly advance to the ninth level, or even the Nascent Soul realm."

If you want to improve quickly, then the first choice should definitely be elixirs.

It's almost time for the major chambers of commerce to transport goods and supplies, and the rainy season will be here soon.

With the caravan's mostly low-level cultivators as guards, they probably have no ability to deal with the leech infestation during the rainy season.
I also started going to Qingcheng.

I'll take this opportunity to see what pills the Myriad Spirits Pavilion has that can accelerate the cultivation of the eighth level.

Thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind, and he quickly formed a general plan for the future.

"Well then, Nangong Cheng will humbly accept your offer!"

Nangong Cheng hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the ability to fly after controlling flying beasts with this beast-taming secret technique. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and took the jade slip.

However, at the same time,

He also kept this favor deep in his heart.

The development of Dawancun Village is becoming increasingly prosperous.

Because Wujiaji is still closed off from the mountains, the Linggu harvested this summer cannot be delivered to Wujiaji for sale.
Those small cultivation families scattered in various places also lacked the ability to deliver the spirit grain to Qingcheng.

As a result, Dawancun, where several chambers of commerce have settled, has become the destination for many small cultivation forces in the surrounding area.

Large quantities of Linggu medicinal herbs and other goods are continuously converging on Dawan Village.
Individual cultivators from various places set up stalls in the village to sell their earnings.
This is gradually causing Dawancun to transform into a cultivation-themed market town.

During this process, the major chambers of commerce made a fortune.

The benefits that Dawancun received were exactly the same.

After paying for the expenses of various members, especially the rewards for the few late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who had a grudge against the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter and volunteered to help repay their debt of gratitude, the income was still quite substantial.

Of course, you have to pay them. Even though they came to help out of gratitude, you can't expect them to work for free.

After deducting all these expenses,

Grandpa Han Qinhu still brought Shen Changchuan a net profit of 3,600 spirit stones!
Such a large sum of spirit stones was clearly not something Shen Changchuan could easily ignore.

Of course,
It's not all benefits and no problems at all.

Besides the security issues caused by the surge in people,
Most importantly, after this period of prosperity, the cultivation-related goods transported by the major merchant guilds to the temporary trading post have almost been sold out.

Also because of this,

When Shen Changchuan appeared
The heads of several major chambers of commerce, including Si Houqing, all showed expressions of joy.

Because this means,

They could contact Zhang Qingyuan, the prodigy capable of challenging opponents of higher levels, through Shen Changchuan.
The caravan that escorted them completed its transport from Qingcheng base camp to Dawan Village!

to this end,

Several major chambers of commerce privately gave Shen Changchuan 500 spirit stones as a bribe.

We just hope that Shen Changchuan can notify the other party as soon as possible.

This left Shen Changchuan speechless.
However, after seeing the bustling scene of people coming and going in the eastern part of Dawan Village, with cultivators constantly entering and leaving the temporary trading post, he could roughly understand what they were thinking.

It didn't take long after that.

After bidding farewell to Nangong Cheng

He would give an order to his subordinates, saying that he would continue his secluded cultivation.
Secretly, he used the Transformation Technique to transform into Zhang Qingyuan's disguise, and then used the wind to fly to Qingcheng within a day.

Upon arriving in Qingcheng, Shen Changchuan first sent a message to the head steward of the joint caravan.

Then they headed towards the direction of the Myriad Spirits Pavilion.

"Does your esteemed establishment possess any elixirs suitable for cultivators at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm?"

"Of course, we do. For cultivators at the eighth level of the immortal realm, they can use Qi-Quenching Pills, Qi-Condensing Pills, and Purple-Gold Pills. I wonder which one you need?"

"Please tell me the price and features of each one."

"The Qi Tempering Pill is made from a variety of precious spiritual herbs, such as a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng and a terrain dragon. It costs seven hundred spirit stones per pill and is the most common cultivation pill taken by cultivators at the eighth level of the Qi Induction Realm, also known as the Qi Condensation Pill."

After the manager of Wanling Pavilion finished introducing Shen Changchuan to all the pills that could be used by cultivators at the eighth level of the immortal realm,

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

too expensive!
Even the cheapest pills used to reach the eighth level of cultivation cost over seven hundred spirit stones each!

The most expensive Purple Gold Pill costs over 1,200 spirit stones per pill!
This number,

This caused Shen Changchuan great distress!

"The journey from the early stage of the eighth level to the peak of the eighth level requires a greater increase in mana, necessitating a larger number of pills and incurring greater costs. Clearly, the pay-to-win, pill-consuming strategy is not for ordinary people."
