The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Cui Yi took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to Luo Chen: "Teacher, your thoughts are so kind; I am ashamed and beg you to accept my bow!"

"Sigh, this is getting more and more sentimental."

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Alright, I'm telling you this not so you can keep nagging here."

"In the future, you should devote more effort to alchemy. With your potential, your future achievements will certainly be no less than your teacher's."

"yes!"

Cui Yi nodded in agreement and threw the Soul-Nourishing Wood into the storage space of the Floating Pagoda.

At that very moment, the pagoda suddenly trembled slightly.

With a thought, Cui Yi immediately immersed his consciousness into it.

He had a basic grasp of the overall operation of the Floating Pagoda, and the occurrence of this tremor basically meant that something had been refined.

Recently, he hasn't thrown any rotten fish or shrimp into the Floating Pagoda space.

The only remaining corpse...

It was Cui Yuanhua, the Golden Elixir Ancestor of the Cui Clan!

After waiting for so long, it has finally been completely refined.

Cui Yi's breathing became rapid.

As his consciousness entered the interior of the pagoda, an incomparably pure life force slowly emanated from it.

The vitality was far greater than ever before!

Cui Yi felt a jolt throughout his body, as if he were being immersed in a hot spring!

Nourished by this extremely pure vitality, every cell in Cui Yi's body rejoiced, and every meridian leaped with joy!

"Refining complete. You have gained a lifespan of one thousand years."

A thousand years!

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Cui Yi's pupils still contracted slightly when he actually saw the string of numbers!

He had refined Hong Xiang, Cao Xiong, and countless demonic beasts and enemies, but he had never obtained such a vast lifespan at once!

The difference between the Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm is indeed worlds apart.

Even if it's just a corpse, the remaining vitality is enough to make him rich.

A thousand years of lifespan means that he can recklessly burn his lifespan to deduce cultivation techniques, accelerate his cultivation, and break through realms!

The Foundation Establishment Realm Great Perfection realm that had troubled him for so long finally had an opportunity and hope to break through!

Cui Yi took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

What he needs most right now is to go into seclusion.

To be precise, it needs to be a safe place with a rich spiritual atmosphere!

Since he failed to break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm after expending hundreds of years of his lifespan, Cui Yi understood that this realm was a bottomless pit.

This time, if he wants to break through this bottomless pit in one fell swoop, he will naturally need a large amount of spiritual energy to replenish himself.

Cui Yi's first thought was the training rooms of the Pill Tower, where all disciples of the single tower were qualified to rent training rooms.

The cultivation rooms are further divided into three levels: low, medium, and high, based on the quality of the spirit-gathering array.

The cost of renting a cultivation room varies greatly depending on its level.

After all, the difference between arrays that are linked to spiritual energy and those that are linked to spiritual energy is never one plus one equals two, but rather a difference in multiplier.

"Teacher, I would like to rent a cultivation room. I wonder how much the cultivation rooms at the Pill Tower cost?"

Luo Chen looked at him with some surprise: "You want to rent a cultivation room? Those things aren't cheap."

"A low-level training room has negligible effect and there is absolutely no need to rent one. At least a mid-level training room should be built."

"But this intermediate-level cultivation room costs one hundred mid-grade spirit stones per day. Can you afford it now?"

It wasn't that Luo Chen looked down on him, but rather that the concept of time was far too vague for cultivators.

The price of 100 mid-grade spirit stones per day may not seem expensive, but over a long period of time, it can amount to a considerable sum.

Ordinary cultivators often go into seclusion for ten days to half a month. If they enter a deep meditation, it is not impossible for them to go into seclusion for more than ten years.

Based on the conversion ratio between spirit stones, the value of these 100 mid-grade spirit stones is extremely exaggerated!

Cui Yi remained silent for a moment.

It seems he really can't afford it...

He used to have quite a few spirit stones, but he didn't keep an eye on them recently, and Erdan ate almost all of them.

Although Erdan's cultivation level and physique have also increased, he currently has very few spirit stones left.

Seeing Cui Yi's embarrassed appearance, Luo Chen shook his head helplessly and took out his identity token from his sleeve.

"According to the rules of the Pill Tower, each Elder of the Items has the right to use the mid-grade cultivation room for seven days each month."

"I haven't shown any signs of breaking through this month, nor do I need to go into seclusion. Just take this and register as my disciple, Luo Chen."

"This usage permission is anonymous, and they won't make things difficult for you. But if the usage period expires, you'll have to figure out a solution yourself."

Cui Yi accepted the token, feeling a warmth in his heart once again.

"Thank you, teacher..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Luo Chen waved his hand, interrupting Cui Yi's next words, "Take the Soul-Nourishing Wood and get out of here. Your master also wants to try the method you just mentioned."

"If you can truly refine the pill pattern, it will be a great achievement for you. I will report it to the Pill Tower and apply for a reward for you."

"yes!"

Cui Yi could easily see Luo Chen's eagerness. For any alchemist, refining a perfect pill is the ultimate goal in life!

The intermediate cultivation room was located on the third basement floor of the Pill Tower. After registering with his token, Cui Yi was led to a private cultivation room.

After being given instructions on how to use the training room, Cui Yi stepped inside.

As he entered the cultivation room completely, the door behind him closed automatically, completely isolating him from outside sounds.

The training room was not large, and the walls were engraved with many arrays, some for soundproofing and others for explosion protection.

In the very center of the cultivation room was a futon, and around the futon were also engraved intricate array patterns.

That is the core of the intermediate-level spirit-gathering array!

After surveying the entire training room, its safety was beyond doubt, and Cui Yi finally felt relieved. He walked to the prayer mat and sat down cross-legged.

After closing his eyes, his consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness.

With a thought, Cui Yi began to communicate with the Floating Pagoda for cultivation.

"Burn away a thousand years of lifespan to cultivate the Divine Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique!"

"Ding! This cultivation session has consumed a significant amount of lifespan. Please confirm again whether you wish to continue?"

"continue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Yi felt the immense vitality he had just gained surge wildly towards the Pagoda like a floodgate being opened!

A thousand years of lifespan began to burn in an instant!

At the same time, the Divine Devouring Heaven Technique involuntarily began to operate, and the vast spiritual energy surged wildly through the meridians!

This caused the spirit-gathering array beneath him to suddenly light up, and countless spiritual energies gathered from all directions, surging into Cui Yi's body!

The concentration of spiritual energy was ten times that of the outside world, which allowed his cultivation speed to reach an unprecedented level!
