Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

Chapter 83 The Inheritance of Alchemy

A month later.

Inside the bedroom of the inn on West Street of Xiancheng.

Jiang Yi, dressed in a green robe with his black hair flowing freely, sat cross-legged on the bed.

His eyes were slightly closed, his expression was calm, his hands were in a mudra in front of him, and empty pill bottles were scattered at his feet.

The water spirit pearl on her lap had become dull and lifeless, like a stubborn rock, and no longer possessed any of its mystique.

When he cultivates now, the aura emanating from his body is quite different from before.

Its fluidity and ease make it seem even more in harmony with the world around it.

About ten days ago.

Jiang Yi thoroughly understood the scroll of "Water Evolution True Scripture" and immediately began to revise and improve it.

To this day, the magical power he cultivated using the "Water Element Technique" has been completely transformed into the foundation of the "Water Evolution True Scripture".

This technique is truly exquisite and extraordinary. The transformed magical power is pure and profound, moving and resting at will.

Compared to the stagnant feeling of the past, it was like night and day.

Although his cultivation level declined after switching to cultivation, his total magical power was not as great as before.

However, his strength actually increased by several points.

This is the enormous gap between ordinary techniques and profound, mysterious skills.

Although it cost a great deal to obtain it, Jiang Yi felt that it was just what he needed and that he had not lost out at all.

At the head of the bed.

Little Pear was lying there quietly, fiddling with a few spirit stones with her little paws, having a great time by herself.

Its new fur has grown in, with a deep blue base and dark spots, glossy and smooth, making it even more beautiful than before.

His demonic power had stabilized, and his physique had reached the level of a first-tier demon beast. The purple lightning he could control was becoming increasingly fierce and domineering.

A few days ago, Jiang Yi became interested in trying it himself.

The result cannot be disclosed.

Anyway, he never brought it up again after that...

The sky was perfectly clear at that moment.

It was noon, the sun was blazing, and sunlight bathed the fairy city.

As the auction ended, the cultivators from all sides gradually left.

The city was no longer as bustling as it used to be, and it seemed much quieter.

About half an hour later.

Jiang Yi dispersed his magic incantation, ending his cultivation. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, a fleeting glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He clenched his fists, stretched his muscles and bones, and focused his inner energy on his dantian, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.

The Water Element Technique I practiced before was truly crude and crude, with a simple circulation path, resulting in mixed and loose magical power.

However, the "Water Evolution True Scripture" is completely different. Its meridian pathways for the circulation of magical power are complex and intricate, with numerous tiny branches throughout.

Although the mental focus and time required to practice this method exceed those of the old method, the magical power cultivated is pure, refined, and easily controlled, like an extension of one's own limb.

As for the Yuan Condensation Secret Technique attached to the general outline of the cultivation method, Jiang Yi has already comprehended part of it in the past few days.

The essence of this secret technique lies in condensing magical power, refining and tempering it, and consolidating the foundation, thereby increasing the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But it's too early to talk about this now. At least we should wait until our cultivation reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining before we can start cultivating.

Although such secret techniques are sold on the market, they are far less suitable for oneself than the Yuan Condensation Secret Technique that comes with the cultivation method.

He was originally not far from the sixth level of Qi Refining, and although his cultivation has declined, it is only a matter of time.

As long as one has abundant spiritual energy and sufficient elixirs and resources, one can make up for it by diligently cultivating for some time.

"Meow~"

When Xiaoli noticed that Jiang Yi had woken up, she wobbled over and rubbed against his arm.

The little guy has been cooped up in this cramped room with him for days, and he's really getting bored.

He was listless all day long and bored out of his mind.

Jiang Yi smiled slightly, hugged it in his arms, and comforted it for a few moments.

After quickly tidying up, he pushed open the door, left the inn, and strolled leisurely along the streets of the immortal city.

There were far fewer cultivators on the streets, and they were scattered about, a far cry from the bustling scene of a few days ago.

Recently, a few small trade fairs have been held sporadically, and I heard that quite a few good items have been released.

However, Jiang Yi was so focused on cultivating his new technique that he rarely left his house and didn't join in the fun.

A month or so has passed in the blink of an eye. The chaos has subsided, the cultivation technique has been revised and completed, and it's time to head back.

Jiang Yi's thoughts were in turmoil as he strolled slowly along the street.

They would frequently enter and exit the shops, inquiring whether there were any merchant ships passing through Qingluo Island that were willing to give rides to independent cultivators.

During this period, he spent over a hundred spirit stones to purchase several elixirs for cultivation.

at the same time.

In a secret room on the south street of Xiancheng.

Three figures were gathered here, discussing something in hushed tones.

All three concealed their appearances, wearing straw hats or covering their faces with black cloths.

One of them spoke in a low voice, his tone dissatisfied: "Brother Ding, we targeted five fat sheep this time, but two of them escaped in the blink of an eye. This is a significant loss. What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, the man called Brother Ding's expression also turned rather unpleasant. He said in a deep voice, "There are too many people around. Those people aren't stupid. They're all as shrewd as monkeys. Why would they obediently wait for us to catch them?"

"If you can't handle it, go and keep an eye on it yourself."

Another person waved his hand and interrupted, "Alright, stop arguing. It's come to this now. Let's go back and urge those informants to be more vigilant, and find a few more easy targets. As long as we're hardworking, we'll have no shortage of business."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Ding snorted coldly and said, "Speaking of which, Old Wang did give us a clue before. That kid is quite interesting. I thought he had flown away, but he returned to the city the next day and hasn't left yet."

He's always hiding his head and tail, very cautious, and definitely has some wealth on him. He's just like a tortoise; you never know when he'll finally leave the city.

"Oh?"

The man next to him became interested, his eyes flashed, and he chuckled, "The more secretive and fearful someone is of being watched, the more likely they are to have a secret."

"Brother Ding, you'd better keep a close eye on him this time. Once he leaves the island, we'll test the waters."

The cultivator surnamed Ding raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't worry, we won't let him escape this time."

The other man snorted coldly, his tone neither too loud nor too soft: "Be more careful in your work, don't make another mistake. Our brothers are risking their lives at sea, and we've gone through so much trouble, not just to collect a few dozen spirit stones."

If this goes on a few more times, even my words might not carry any weight.

After these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence.

Then, the three of them lowered their voices and discussed the matter further.

The conversation was nothing more than shady dealings such as how to plant spies, how to keep an eye on easy targets, and where to set up ambushes.

After a while.

The three of them got up and left in a hurry, without exchanging another word, as if they had never crossed paths before.

the other side.

Jiang Yi wandered around the city for a long time, going in and out of many shops, but still couldn't find a suitable merchant ship.

Qingluo Island is a bit remote.

Most merchant ships traveling to and from Ling'ao Island would rest and dock here, collect their goods, and then hurry to other islands to sell them.

Finding a boat that passes by Qingluo Island and is willing to take in independent cultivators is proving to be quite difficult.

About half an hour later.

Jiang Yi walked out of the stall area with a slight smile on his face and a light step.

He was strolling around when he decided to try his luck here, so he went in for a quick look.

Although he didn't find any great bargains, he unexpectedly bought a set of alchemy techniques.

The person selling this item was a rogue cultivator.

He claimed to have once studied alchemy at a minor sect for several years, but now, lacking spirit stones, he has transcribed his teachings and is selling them.

Jiang Yi naturally wouldn't believe a single word of this nonsense.

But after looking through it, he still decided to buy it.

Although this inheritance is rudimentary, it only contains basic techniques such as selecting spiritual materials, identifying medicinal properties, and controlling the heat, without even any decent secret methods.

The recipes only contained two low-grade, first-tier pills: the Abstinence Pill and the Qi-Returning Pill.

But the good thing is that it's cheap enough.

After some haggling, Jiang Yi finally bought the inheritance for only fifty spirit stones.

At this price, it's really hard to complain any more.

This is a good opportunity to try it out and see if I have any talent for alchemy.

If I can really figure out the tricks of the trade, and one day I can start my own alchemy furnace, then I'll truly be able to turn my life around and sing a song of triumph.

Jiang Yi walked briskly, a smile still on his face, his anticipation growing.

Not long after, they went into a food shop and bought a roast chicken and some dried meat for Xiaoli.

Without lingering any longer, they headed straight for Xiancheng West Street...
