Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

The next day.

Jiang Yun, dressed in an elder's robe, appeared in the market's guard hall.

"Greetings, Elder!"

When the guards in the guardhouse saw Jiang Yun, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, their expressions respectful.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly and walked into the inner courtyard of the guard hall.

Inside the inner courtyard, there were two other elders.

These two elders were Qi Refining Perfection cultivators sent by the Song and Chen families.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three went about their respective business.

Jiang Yun left the guard hall and strolled around the market.

At the beginning of the establishment of the market, the Chen, Song, and Jiang families had already divided the entire market area.

As of today, various shops in the market have already started operating, and are just waiting for the market to open on the first day of next month.

The first day of the following month.

Qixia Market was brightly decorated and officially opened for business.

The market was packed with people and incredibly lively.

In addition, Qixia Market was built in the middle of Qixia Lake.

Therefore, the lake was filled with boats.

These ships coming and going create a magnificent scene.

at this time.

Entrance to the market.

According to the rules, each person needs to pay one spirit stone to enter the market.

To prevent demonic cultivators from infiltrating, a magic power check is required before entering the market.

Groups of monks lined up to enter.

Jiang Yun and the other two elders all appeared at the entrance of the market to oversee the situation.

They wore robes made of high-grade magical artifacts, exuding an aura of perfected Qi cultivation.

This silenced the passing cultivators.

Those cultivators who had come to join the fun abandoned their thoughts of plundering and obediently entered and exited the market, daring not to cause trouble.

in the afternoon.

Jiang Yun heard a familiar voice coming from the entrance of the market.

"No spirit stones allowed! Get out of here!"

"Oh? So I have to pay spirit stones. I wish I hadn't come."

This voice sounds familiar.

Jiang Yun looked in the direction of the sound and was slightly taken aback.

He saw two familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

These two people were actually Li Buxing and Lin Xuan.

"Let them in."

Jiang Yun walked over and spoke to the guard.

"Greetings, Elder."

The guards immediately bowed to Jiang Yun upon seeing him.

"Brother Jiang... Brother Jiang!"

Lin Xuan and Li Buxing recognized Jiang Yun and exclaimed excitedly with wide eyes.

The guards were startled upon hearing this.

These two actually called Elder Jiang Yun "elder brother," so their status must be extraordinary.

Why can't you produce a single spirit stone if you want to enter the market?

"It's been so many years, you two have both aged so much, I almost didn't recognize you," Jiang Yun said with a smile.

The three were overjoyed to be reunited with their old friends. They went aside to reminisce so as not to obstruct the cultivators behind them from entering the market.

"Big brother, I didn't expect it to really be you."

Lin Xuan and Li Buxing had discovered Jiang Yun long ago.

They felt that Jiang Yun looked very familiar, but they didn't dare to go up and acknowledge him.

Jiang Yun smiled and asked, "Have you come to visit the market?"

"Yes," Lin Xuan replied, "We heard that Qixia Lake Market was completed, so we thought we'd come and take a look."

"Haha, I didn't expect to run into you here, Brother!" Li Buxing laughed loudly.

"Did they come from the mortal realm?"

Jiang Yun asked curiously.

If he remembers correctly.

The night before they parted ways in the Xiyu Mountains, Lin Xuan and Li Buxing said they were going to enjoy happiness in the mortal world.

"That's right." Lin Xuan explained, "Since leaving the Jiang family, Li Buxing and I have returned to the mortal world to enjoy wealth and luxury."

"I heard that Qixia Market opened not long ago, so I came to visit. I didn't expect that I would need a spirit stone to enter."

Li Buxing nodded. "Brother Lin and I have already married and had children in the mortal realm."

"Li Buxing is really something," Lin Xuan joked. "By this year, he has already married twenty-three wives and concubines, just like an ox."

Li Buxing scratched his head. "I'm still a long way from having a hundred wives and concubines."

"Good."

Jiang Yun was both amused and exasperated.

People like Lin Xuan and Li Buxing are low-level Qi Refining cultivators.

Even if they are far away from the spiritual world, they will not suffer from any illnesses and will live to be over a hundred years old.

Choosing to enjoy wealth and luxury in the mortal world is incredibly comfortable.

"Brother, I just saw that you've already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining," Lin Xuan congratulated you. "We wish you success in Foundation Establishment!"

"Yes, yes, Foundation Establishment!" Li Buxing said earnestly, "Brother Jiang will definitely succeed."

Jiang Yun nodded with a smile.

It did not explain that he had failed to establish his foundation many years ago.

"You can visit the market first, and we'll meet again tonight," Jiang Yun said. "Don't worry, the guards won't stop you."

"Thank you for your help, brother!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan and Li Buxing, relieved that they didn't have to pay spirit stones, proudly entered the market to visit.

evening.

The three of them enjoyed drinks at a restaurant by Qixia Lake.

As Jiang Yun listened to Lin Xuan and Li Buxing talk about worldly matters, he seemed to gain some insight.

Each monk's fate is different.

For example, Jiang Yun, Lin Xuan, and Li Buxing.

For example, Jiang Yun and Jiang Ruoshui.

A month later.

Lin Xuan and Li Buxing bid farewell to Jiang Yun and returned to the mortal world.

The two were deeply grateful for Jiang Yun's kindness, but had no way to repay him, and felt a deep sense of sorrow.

After Lin Xuan and Li Buxing parted ways.

Jiang Yun once again threw himself into the grand plan of alchemy.

He first studied pharmacology, and then began preparing to refine elixirs.

As for the market area.

Occasionally, some clueless rogue cultivators would come and cause trouble.

However, he was quickly captured and killed by the guards, before Jiang Yun even had a chance to make a move.

For ten years, Jiang Yun studied diligently by the window, deeply appreciating the profound and extensive nature of alchemy.

"Who said cultivating immortality doesn't require using your brain?"

Jiang Yun looked at the table full of medicinal herbs and alchemy books, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Even cultivating immortality requires learning!"

For a full ten years, Jiang Yun spent his time learning alchemy techniques.

Without a master to guide you, you can only spend more time studying on your own.

Anyway, he has plenty of time.

After learning most of the pharmacological knowledge.

Jiang Yun began formally refining elixirs.

Since he became the elder of the Market Guard Hall, he has received a monthly salary of twelve spirit stones.

Over the course of a year, one can accumulate 144 spirit stones.

In addition, the elder of the market guard hall was of noble status, and many people gave him gifts.

Therefore, over the past decade.

Jiang Yun has saved up nearly 2000 spirit stones.

"Two thousand spirit stones are more than enough to set up an alchemy furnace and purchase the ingredients for a low-grade first-tier pill."

Five years later.

After countless explosions and failures.

Jiang Yun finally achieved some success in the path of alchemy.

It started with refining common medicines like Bigu Pills and Blood Clotting Powder.

Then comes the refining of low-grade fasting pills, low-grade blood-coagulation pills, and low-grade mind-clearing pills—these are the real elixirs.

"Through my own diligent study, I finally became a low-grade first-level alchemist!"

The generally accepted requirement for a first-tier low-grade alchemist is the ability to refine three types of first-tier low-grade pills with a success rate of over 70%.

Jiang Yun's success rate in refining first-grade low-level pills has reached 80%, and the quality of the pills he refines is excellent.

"Next, I will refine mid-grade pills and become a first-grade mid-grade alchemist as soon as possible."

Jiang Yun's goal is to become a second-tier alchemist.

If we have the formula and ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill at that time...

Then he would have an endless supply of Foundation Establishment Pills.

Are you still afraid of not being able to establish a foundation?
