Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal

Li Qian climbed the steps and slowly entered the building, where he was secretly impressed by the scenery inside.

Inside the building, jade cabinets were displayed, and porcelain vases filled the shelves, with wisps of cinnabar-like energy lingering in the air.

The room shone brightly under the lights.

This Danxianglou is not an ordinary shop in Zilanfang, but a powerful force with a strong foothold outside the neighborhood.

In terms of foundation, it is probably even more profound than the Foundation Establishment Wu family, which sits in charge of the market.

After all, the path of alchemy is resource-intensive and emphasizes lineage.

All sects that can cultivate alchemy cultivators are profound and powerful.

Even for a Foundation Establishment family, it would take considerable effort to cultivate such a talent.

For this reason, Danxianglou places great importance on its reputation.

The elixirs are expensive, but their advantage lies in their mild effects and clean origins, making them a safe and secure purchase.

Li Qian knew that every medicine has some degree of toxicity.

While the pills sold by independent cultivators in the market were indeed cheap, their downfall lay precisely in their "cheapness."

Erysipelas, impurities, and conflicting medicinal properties—all sorts of hidden dangers often lurk in those precious spirit stones that were saved.

Unless it's a well-known, independent alchemist, Li Qian wouldn't dare to try it casually.

Once the meridians are damaged, the entire path ahead will be ruined.

Just as Li Qian was staring at the ridiculously expensive Qi-Returning Pills and Spirit-Clearing Pills in the pill cabinet, which could improve cultivation, he was secretly amazed.

A naturally alluring female cultivator walked gracefully towards them.

Every movement she made was alluring and seductive, the millstone seemed to leap out of her skin, and a fragrant breeze wafted towards her.

"What kind of pills would you like to buy, fellow Daoist?" She leaned forward slightly, a smile playing on her lips.

His chest was deeply cleaved, like a black hole, making it impossible to look away.

"I, Liu Yaoyan, have some knowledge of elixirs."

Alarm bells rang in Li Qian's mind.

"That damned female cultivator, she's greeting guests, and she even uses a bit of seductive charm in the process!"

He quickly went through all the most painful things from his past and present lives.

He secretly activated the "Primordial Marrow Cleansing Technique" to circulate his qi and blood, barely managing to suppress the surging desire in his heart.

He forced a smile: "Fairy Liu, I am looking for bone-strengthening pills. I wonder if you have any in stock?"

"Of course there is." Liu Yaoyan smiled, her eyes lingering on Li Qian's face for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, I will go and fetch it right away."

Then he turned the millstone and slowly walked away.

Li Qian kept his eyes focused on his nose and his nose focused on his heart, not daring to let his mind wander.

Before long, Liu Yaoyan returned carrying a plate with three small jade bottles on it.

"The Bone Strengthening Pill is a commonly used elixir for beginners in body cultivation, and it is most helpful in strengthening the bones and muscles."

Liu Yaoyan gently placed the jade bottle in front of Li Qian and said softly with a smile, "How many bottles would you like, friend?"

Li Qian had already silently calculated it in his mind.

With his current foundation in the Elephant Muscle Gate, plus the assistance of immortal spiritual energy.

One bottle of bone-strengthening pills should be enough for him to digest for a while.

Buying too much is a waste of spirit stones and may not necessarily help with future progress.

One bottle is enough.

As Li Qian spoke, he casually picked up one of the small jade bottles and shook it slightly in his palm.

He heard a soft, clear, and even clinking sound coming from inside the bottle, and Li Qian immediately understood what was going on.

Ten pills.

After opening the medicine bottle and smelling it, he looked up and asked, "How much is this bottle worth?"

Liu Yaoyan smiled and extended a fair, jade-like finger: "Only one low-grade spirit stone is required."

Li Qian remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he gasped.

A bottle of ten pills is worth one low-grade spirit stone.

This price is really not cheap.

You should know that the Bone Strengthening Pill is just a miscellaneous elixir used to lay the foundation for body cultivators.

Even if the quality is not as good, it can still be sold for 20% or 30% cheaper at a roadside repair stall.

Upon seeing Li Qian's expression, Liu Yaoyan assumed that he was not very satisfied with the effects of the elixir.

He then took out another, slightly larger jade bottle from his sleeve, placed it in front of him, and said with a light smile:

"If you find the Bone Strengthening Pills insufficient, I have an even better one."

"This pill is called Tiger Bone Pill. It is made from the bones of the first-tier exotic beast, the Ferocious Tiger, from Thunder Swamp Mountain."

It is very beneficial for strengthening muscles and bones, and nourishing qi and blood.

If you are interested, fellow Daoist, you might as well give it a try.

Upon hearing that Lei Zeshan was associated with a first-tier exotic beast, Li Qian's heart stirred slightly.

He asked, "What level of cultivation is this pill suitable for, and what is its price?"

Liu Yaoyan extended a slender hand, her fingers slightly spread: "Suitable for a first-level body cultivator, five low-grade spirit stones, and one tiger bone pill."

Upon hearing this, Li Qian immediately suppressed the thought that had been on his mind.

The first level of body cultivation is comparable to the third level of Qi Refining, roughly equivalent to the Gu Jin Pass in martial arts.

He is currently only at the elephant muscle level; there are still two barriers, the rhinoceros bone and the unicorn blood, between him and that level.

Cultivation level is one thing, but spirit stones too, wow.

Five low-grade spirit stones? Do you really think spirit stones grow from the ground?

He only had eight low-grade spirit stones in his pocket at most.

If one were to buy a Tiger Bone Pill and a bottle of Bone Strengthening Pills, one would immediately return to abject poverty.

Even the rent for a thatched hut is a problem.

Li Qian maintained a composed demeanor, but inwardly he sighed deeply.

How did I end up so poor in this life? Where has my luck gone?

If one were born into a prestigious sect or a powerful family, why would one need to haggle over a few low-grade spirit stones?

He immediately eradicated his delusional thoughts.

He simply cupped his hands in greeting to Liu Yaoyan and chose a more palatable way of putting it: "The Tiger Bone Pill is good, but it is beyond my cultivation level to bear."

"I won't bother you any longer today, fairy. I'll come back to patronize your business another day."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yaoyan's eyes flickered slightly.

Her smile remained unchanged: "Fellow Daoist, please take care. If you need any more pills in the future, feel free to come and find me."

Li Qian dared not linger.

He paid a spirit stone, took a bottle of bone-strengthening pills, and turned to leave Danxiang Tower.

As his figure receded into the distance, the smile on Liu Yaoyan's face gradually faded.

She gazed thoughtfully in the direction the young man had gone.

After a long pause, she clicked her tongue softly, muttering to herself, "A young body cultivator, yet she can withstand my seductive arts..."

She was even thinking of taking the opportunity to capture him and empty his spirit stones... but she never expected him to have such self-control.

She shook her head and sighed regretfully, "What a pity."

"It seems I still need to improve my seductive skills."

-----------------

As Li Qian left Danxiang Tower, he overheard several rogue cultivators discussing something in the corridor.

It is said that the demonic aura of Mount Leize has become increasingly strong recently, and strange beasts have appeared in the mountain several times more frequently than usual.

Even rare first-tier high-grade demonic beasts have been appearing one after another, causing many low-level herb-gathering and demon-hunting cultivators to perish inside.

He silently kept the news in mind and dared not linger in the market.

There are so many good things in the market, I'm afraid the longer I look at them, the more uncomfortable I'll feel.

The saying "poverty makes people lose their ambition" perfectly describes this situation.

So they went straight back to the lakeside cottage.

Once inside, he closed the door, sat cross-legged, and took out the bone-strengthening pills.

The small jade bottle felt warm to the touch; it was clearly made of fine jade.

He uncorked the bottle, and a faint medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out, mixed with a hint of earthiness and bone meal.

Li Qian poured out a pill and examined it closely.

The pill is about the size of a thumb, yellowish-brown in color, with a few faint white lines on it.

Judging from the lack of any discoloration or cracks, the Danxianglou brand name is certainly not without reason.

"I bought you for a single spirit stone, so you'd better not disappoint me."

Li Qian muttered something under his breath, then tilted his head back and swallowed a bone-strengthening pill.

After the pill was swallowed, there were no unusual symptoms at first.

A moment later, the medicinal effects slowly spread through the internal organs.

A warm fire slowly rose from the stomach and spread along the limbs and bones.

Really useful!

Li Qian dared not hesitate and immediately activated the "Primordial Marrow Cleansing and Refining" technique, drawing upon the qi and blood throughout his body to begin refining the medicinal power.

When the mind is calm and still, one can observe the internal flow of Qi.

Thanks to his cultivation in the immortal path, he was able to internally observe himself and move his qi and blood more easily.

He could clearly feel his arm bones, shoulder blades, spine, and leg bones slowly solidifying under the power of the medicine.

Bones are the framework of the body.

If the foundation is unstable, no matter how strong the muscles are, it is ultimately just superficial strength.

At this moment, Li Qian is steadily approaching the Sigu Pass, much faster than wasting his time in simulations.

For a moment, the thatched hut was completely silent.

Only his body was filled with the rush of blood and qi, and his muscles and bones were creaking.
