"Senior sister, what are you talking about?" She looked aggrieved. Her senior sister was scolding her for a kid she had known for more than ten years!
On the other side, Lin Xuan spent another hour at the Sutra Library. It was already past noon and the sun was scorching hot.
The steward of the Sutra Library remained the same. When she saw Lin Xuan, she was surprised and delighted. She said in a soft and numb voice, "Little brother is here again. You are here to return the jade slip of the cultivation technique, right?"
Lin Xuan shrank his neck and whispered, "Yes, Deacon Sister, I have learned the Frost Rain Technique."
"Not bad," Shu Yixiang commented, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "How about you come and live in my cave? The spiritual energy in my cave is even better than that of some inner disciples' caves!"
After more than a month, Shu Yixiang's interest has not diminished. She plans to lure this handsome and delicate junior brother to her cave first.
Lin Xuan quickly refused: "No need, Sister Steward, the outer sect's spiritual energy is enough for cultivation. I have something to do, so I'll leave first!"
After he returned the skills, he quickly fled from the Sutra Library. Shu Yixiang's beautiful eyes were filled with resentment, and she said to herself, "What a cunning little junior brother, you just ran away when you saw that I was going to guard the Sutra Library. If I hadn't been busy, I would have tied you up and taken you back to the cave to love you well!"
"You are just a little fool. What's there to be afraid of when being favored by a beautiful high-ranking female cultivator?"
She would definitely be careful and loving to such a handsome boy.
Chapter 6 Fat Xi Qu; Plan for Revenge
"There's something wrong with the steward's eyes. She actually wants to trick me into going to the cave to extort my money!" Lin Xuan gasped for breath after running back to Danfeng. He was so frightened when he heard the steward's request just now that he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the other party did not pursue him relentlessly.
What A Niang said is right. Being more cautious with female cultivators can indeed help you avoid the risk of being harmed!
It was getting late, Lin Xuan prepared a Qi Gathering Powder that he had made himself and began to practice. He couldn't fall behind in his cultivation!
He spent the next three days refining Qi and making elixirs. The dozens of raw materials for alchemy that he bought with three low-grade spirit stones were all used up in these three days. One of them was wasted due to his condition, and the rest of the materials were all refined into Qi Gathering Powder.
Among dozens of bottles of Qi Gathering Powder, five bottles reached low-grade quality, and the rest were all inferior products.
After the elixir was refined, it was sold to the senior brother who harvested it at a price slightly lower than the market price. Five bottles of low-grade Qi Gathering Powder were exchanged for four low-grade spirit stones, and the remaining dozens of bottles of inferior Qi Gathering Powder were also sold for two spirit stones.
After Lin Xuan received the spirit stone, he asked respectfully, "I have traded with you for many times but I still haven't asked you my name. My name is Lin Xuan, what's your name, Senior Brother?"
The senior brother was a tall and thin man, but he said, "You are too polite, Junior Brother. I am Fatty, so you can just call me Fatty."
"Fat brother, I wonder what your current cultivation level is?" Lin Xuan immediately changed the topic and asked with a smile.
Fatty looked him over and became alert, then asked, "Are you asking about my cultivation level because you want to ask me to do something for you?"
Seeing through him at once, Lin Xuan could only smile innocently and said, "Fat brother, it's just a small matter. I just want you to help me beat up a few people."
"Beat someone up?" Fatty saw that Lin Xuan was at the second level of Qi training, and suddenly thought of some possibilities. He said with a sound of "oh", "You want me to help you beat up a disciple who is collecting protection fees from a certain mountain. That's not allowed!"
Lin Xuan's face fell, and he asked hurriedly: "Why, Fatty, are you afraid of those hills?"
Fatty Xiqu shook his head: "Not really, not really. With my level of cultivation, I am not afraid of many people in the outer sect. But if I get involved, the situation will be aggravated. If a war breaks out in the outer sect, I will be in big trouble."
"Since you call me Fatty, I'll call you Brother Lin as well. Brother Lin, it's not that you can't beat up those guys who stole your spirit stones. You can refine the Qi Gathering Powder, and you can get spirit stones much faster than those lackeys who have to work hard to collect spirit stones. When your cultivation level surpasses yours, it will be easy to take revenge!"
"Go ahead and take revenge. If someone with a higher level of cultivation comes forward, I will support you. This way, it won't be considered breaking the rules."
What Pang Xi was talking about was not the rules of the outer sect of Xuannv Palace, but the invisible rules that restrict each other between the major mountains. In the outer sect, in addition to the mountains, there are also many powerful people with their own independent families. In order to avoid a major war, there are many rules.
Seeing that things were turning around, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I understand what Fatty means! If I have your help, I can do it without any worries. I am not afraid of those three bastards without anyone's support!"
After a stone fell from his heart, he found out another thing: "Fat brother, I want to ask if there is any top-grade Qi Gathering Powder?"
In the world of immortal cultivation, elixirs are divided into six grades. Many elixirs are used from the Qi Refining stage to the Yuanshen stage, and each grade of elixir has different qualities, namely low-grade, high-grade, elixir, miraculous medicine, and immortal elixir.
He wanted to use top-grade Qi Gathering and Dispersing Qi Refining Tool, but didn't know how much it would cost.
Fat Xiqu glared at him and said unhappily, "A bottle of top-grade Qi Gathering Powder costs dozens of low-grade spirit stones, and not many people can refine this stuff, and I don't have enough. If you can refine it, I will buy it at a high price!"
There is a huge difference between the lower-grade Qi Gathering Powder and the higher-grade Qi Gathering Powder, so there are many small divisions within the lower-grade Qi Gathering Powder. As a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he can only use the best lower-grade Qi Gathering Powder, and at most use the higher-grade Qi Gathering Powder from time to time. If anyone can provide him with a large amount of higher-grade Qi Gathering Powder, he will acknowledge him as his big brother on the spot!
"Okay, thank you Brother Fatty for your guidance." Lin Xuan sighed and could only continue to use the inferior Qi Gathering Powder.
He then went to the market to buy raw medicinal materials and a few bottles of lower-grade Qi Gathering Powder of better quality. The lower-grade Qi Gathering Powder he made himself was only of average quality, and there were better ones selling in the market.
Lin Xuan returned to the alchemy room to continue his practice. Not only was refining Qi a practice, refining the elixir was also a practice, and practicing the Frost and Rain Technique was also a practice. He had already mastered the Frost and Rain Technique and began to practice it towards minor success.
Frost and Rain Spell is a typical spell whose power is determined by a variety of factors. The level of cultivation and the strength of magic power determine the lower limit, while the attainment of magic determines the upper limit at a certain level of cultivation.
Currently, he focuses on cultivation and alchemy, so he has relatively little time to practice Frost and Rain Technique every day.
There is no time in the mountains. A month passed as he refined his qi, made pills, and practiced magic.
After a month of hard training, Lin Xuan successfully cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining. In fact, it took him twenty-three or twenty-four days to break through from the second level to the third level, which was a few days longer than the last time. It will take longer and longer in the future.
The total amount and power of the third level of Qi training increased slightly compared to the second level, and he became stronger.
In addition to his cultivation, his alchemy skills have also improved. The situation of wasting medicinal materials has been basically eliminated. At the same time, the output rate of low-grade Qi Gathering Powder has been slightly improved. Now he can exchange two or three spirit stones for one spirit stone he refines.
Moreover, the speed of alchemy has increased significantly, which means that he has more time to refine his qi and practice magic.
"Brother Lin has made great progress. You have more and more low-grade Qi Gathering Powder." Fatty Xi said in surprise when he went to count the results of Lin Xuan's alchemy. He had a plan in mind, and the profit would increase every time he resold Lin Xuan's pills.
"Brother Fatty, what are you talking about? I'm just practicing hard day and night, but my progress is not that great." Lin Xuan scratched his head and said shyly.
Fatty Xi looked at Lin Xuan in silence for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "Brother Lin, you don't know that many people are limited by their talents, and even if they practice hard, they can't make any progress. For example, I can only do some reselling business because I don't know how to make pills."
"Really? I really don't know that." Lin Xuan blinked with an embarrassed expression, as if he had accidentally hurt someone.
"The only thing that matters in the path of immortality is fighting. Although I am not good at refining pills, my talent in fighting is still acceptable. I have gradually fought for the position of the head of the reselling of pills in the outer sect of Xuannv Palace. In fact, the benefits are enough for me to cultivate to the next level of Yongquan."
Fatty muttered to himself, and after finishing the inventory, he handed all the spirit stones to Lin Xuan.
"The way of immortals is about fighting. This word is very broad. Fighting with others requires skills, cultivation, aptitude, the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, understanding, background, and connections. Fighting does not mean fighting with others, but it means being special. You must at least surpass mediocre people in some way."
"Thank you Brother Pang for your guidance! Brother Lin has something to do and will leave first. I will treat Brother Pang to dinner next time!" Lin Xuan said goodbye and left Danfeng.
He was going to collect his monthly salary. At the same time, after reaching the third level of Qi Refining, he could choose a technique from the Sutra Library again. From now on, it would not be so easy to obtain a technique, and it would require other costs.
But when he thought about going to the Sutra Library, where there was a female deacon with bad intentions, Lin Xuan couldn't help but shrink his head. Last time, the sister was planning to get some benefits from him.
Chapter 7: Determination; Deacon's Token
Lin Xuan left the mountain from the sect hall with a gloomy face, as seven spirit stones were robbed from him by the three Mo family bullies.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to fight after he reached the third level of Qi Refining, but he never expected that the three brothers had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. He immediately tactfully handed over the spirit stones and had no intention of crossing the level to fight three alone.
“Next month, I must not let those three bastards snatch my spirit stones away!” Lin Xuan clenched his fists and had an idea in his mind.
The spirit stones he earned through alchemy were stored in his personal space, but the monthly salary was fixed. It was public knowledge how many spirit stones he received when he came out of the sect hall, and it was not easy to fool those three lackeys.
Lin Xuan came to the Sutra Library, and his expression was a little unnatural for a moment after seeing the familiar female deacon.
The butler was more enthusiastic each time, and this time she smiled charmingly, "Little brother finally came to see you!"
"Who wants to see you? I'm here to choose a technique!" He spat in his heart, but smiled brightly on his face: "Sister Deacon, I'm here to receive the reward for the third level of Qi Refining!"
Shu Yixiang understood and said with a smile: "It turns out that little brother has already reached the third level of Qi Refining. I am so happy! Then I would like to say that the Art of Controlling Objects is more suitable for outer disciples!"
She thought to herself that to cross the second and third levels of Qi Refining in two months was an above average speed, and her future achievements would be quite impressive. If she was interested in taking this cute little brother as her lover, it would be a great pleasure to become a Taoist couple with him, as he was so delicate and cute.
Thinking of this, a blush appeared on her fair and beautiful face. Her love had been silent for over a hundred years since her previous Taoist partner died in an accident. Now that her passion has been rekindled, she doesn't want to miss it and must grab it!
Lin Xuan did not follow the deacon's reminder to choose the art of controlling objects. It was very likely that the three Mo brothers had learned this art. He wanted to choose a different technique, preferably to catch up and surpass their magical power!
Finally, he found a yellow-level body-building technique called the Unceasing Battle Body Technique.
The goal of body-refining exercises is to sanctify the body, which will improve the overall power of the physique. However, different exercises have different emphases. The Art of Unceasing Combat Body focuses on the endurance and resistance of the body.
"The Art of Unending Battle Body? I remember that this is a very hard practice. Are you sure you want to learn it, little brother?" Shu Yixiang asked. She supported her cute junior brother's choice. The stronger he was, the happier she would be. However, she was skeptical about whether he could succeed in practicing. She told him not to waste the opportunity to choose a technique.
Not only does the body-refining technique require a lot of physical pain, it is also very expensive, requiring a lot more spirit stones than simply refining Qi.
"Sister Deacon, you seem to be asking too many questions. Please give me the jade slip of the skills. I can take care of the rest." Lin Xuan said in a flat tone, revealing a hint of resistance. It was obvious that he didn't want to have a deep communication with her.
Shu Yixiang frowned slightly. This junior fellow apprentice was too wooden. He didn't respond to her kindness at all.
"Well then, if you fail in your training, remember to look for me!" She gave him a token before leaving.
Lin Xuan quickly left the Sutra Library and threw the fragrant token into his personal space. He thought that the deacon might have given him the token in order to promise him benefits first and then blackmail him to do something later?
After he came out of the Sutra Library, he went to the canteen to find A Niang. After what happened last month, he understood that although he had to pursue the path of immortality, A Niang was equally important and he must not neglect her.
This time they found A Niang in the dining hall, and then they returned to the cave. Lin Xuan had made great progress in Qi training and was already a great cultivator of the third level! Therefore, his five senses were sensitive, and he discovered that A Niang and the cave were mixed with some messy auras, not as pure as usual.
He looked a little confused, but didn't think too much about it. Perhaps it was because his mother had changed the balm.
"Mother, I have reached the third level of Qi Refining!" He reported his cultivation level as usual, but in fact his level was seen through from the very beginning.
"Well, I am glad for you. So what kind of skills does Xuan'er plan to practice when he reaches the third level of Qi Refining?" the beautiful woman asked upon hearing the news.
"A body-building technique. I plan to fight these three lackeys next month!" Lin Xuan raised his fist and waved it. The beautiful woman combed the boy's hair over and over again, her eyes gentle.
"Xuan'er, it's good that you have an idea. I will support you. Only if you take the initiative to strive for it can you succeed in the path of immortality. This is what I want to see."
The beautiful woman said some intimate words to the young man, and the young man also told her about his cultivation in the past month, and also mentioned the matter of the Sutra Library. He wondered, "Is that deacon sister planning something bad?"
The beautiful woman's face froze, and she took a deep breath to calm her tone: "Yes, Xuan'er, those female cultivators love to exploit young men like you the most."
"That's good!" Lin Xuan said happily, "Fortunately I listened to my mother, otherwise I would have been tricked into the cave and exploited!"
Ji Yingxuan's mouth twitched. She thought her child was very naive. If it were someone else, they would probably be trying to hug the beauty tightly at this moment.
The two spent half a day together and recalled the warmth. In the evening, Lin Xuan went back. He had been taught to read and write for more than ten years and had some worldly awareness. It would be inappropriate for him to stick to his mother and share the same room and bed with her when he grew up.
After the young man left, the beautiful woman turned back into a stunning fairy, and another stunning fairy appeared in the cave.
Ji Yingxuan's pretty face was covered with frost, and she snorted coldly, "I've only let Xuan'er live alone for less than a year, and there's actually a vixen trying to seduce him. The Xuannv Palace should be cleaned up!"
Chang He felt curious to see this rare side of her senior sister. In the past, she was responsible for being strict while her senior sister was responsible for being kind. But when she thought that this side of her senior sister was revealed because of someone else, she felt jealous.
She also snorted coldly, very unhappy and said: "Didn't Senior Sister teach me before not to be too obsessive and greedy? Why did Senior Sister start to care about it after that boy met Taohua? Senior Sister, you are too much. Why do you have to treat that child specially!"
Ji Yingxuan rolled her eyes at her junior sister, and pressed her fair forehead with her green jade fingers, saying, "You are jealous like a child again. When he completes his outer sect training, you will take him in as your personal disciple, and acknowledge him as his mistress!"
"Ah?!" Chang He's face was bitter, and she pursed her red lips: "But I have made no achievements in teaching my disciples, and I don't like to be the mother of a half-grown boy. I don't want it unless you give me a reward, Senior Sister!"
"Will you do it? If not, I'll do it myself. I've raised Xuan'er for fifteen years, so it won't make any difference if I become his master."
"Okay, okay! Senior sister, I will listen to you this time!" She begged for mercy quickly. In addition to trying to please her beloved senior sister, she was also curious about the young man. The memories that her senior sister had shown her before were only some general fragments, and they were not directly implanted into her sea of consciousness, so she did not have a deep understanding of the boy.
"Sister, please remember to reward me. Teaching disciples is very tiring for me!" she bargained.
Ji Yingxuan sighed and nodded. She knew her junior sister very well, and only if she gave her some sweet treats would she do things well.
"Really? Senior sister is so nice, let me give you a fragrant one first!"
She pushed the woman away, her face filled with shame and anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "No! Find a place to stay by yourself for a while. Xuan'er got suspicious of my scent today!"
"What are you afraid of, senior sister? Why don't you just tell that kid to change the balm? The only important thing is that we sisters stick together!" complained the beautiful fairy.
Chapter 8 System Tasks; Begin Body Refining
"Ding! Primary system task released: Defeat Mogu, Mofei, and Mogao to avenge the previous humiliation."
"Mission reward: 100 low-grade spirit stones and a bit of alchemy experience."
Unreal characters appeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes. Two months later, there was new movement in the system again.
Now it was the beginning of the third month of his monthly salary, and the three Mo brothers had also robbed him of his spirit stones three times. He was not going to sit there and wait for death any longer. He had to make good use of the next month to improve his fighting skills.
The original three hours of Qi refining was reduced to two hours, two hours for alchemy, one hour for practicing Frost and Rain Technique, and then four hours for body refining with the Unending Battle Body Technique! The remaining three hours were for rest.
The Art of Unceasing Battle Body is a hard-working body-building exercise that uses magical power to tear apart muscles throughout the body every day, allowing the physique to become stronger through the process of destruction and reconstruction. At the same time, the physique must be soaked in special elixir liquid every three days.
Each soak in the special spiritual liquid can soak away more than ten low-grade spiritual stones. Lin Xuan entrusted Pang Xi to help buy it. He spent two hours refining the Qi Gathering Powder every day, which was just enough to balance the income and expenditure of spiritual stones.
In addition, his skills will improve as he continues to refine pills, and he will have more spirit stones in the future.
Danfeng Alchemy Room has become Lin Xuan's permanent residence.
He carefully studied the technique of refining the battle body runes, and then began to practice. In addition to simply and roughly tearing open one's own skin, the method of practicing the Unceasing Battle Body Technique also requires outlining special battle body runes.
"Hiss!" Lin Xuan sucked in a breath of cold air. At this moment, every inch of his body was torn and destroyed by the magic power. At the same time, a rune began to move around along the meridians. Under the illumination of the rune, the body began to rebuild rapidly.
After an hour, the body recovered almost completely, and then he tore it apart again, repeating the process of destruction and construction. He repeated this cycle three times within three hours, and then soaked in the spiritual liquid bath.
Lin Xuan looked exhausted. It was so painful and torturous to have every inch of skin on his body torn apart!
But the gains were also huge. He could clearly feel that his physical fitness was improving. With the same cultivation level, whoever has a stronger physique would undoubtedly have a better chance of winning. But it was not enough, because he had to cross the border and fight three alone!
"You three bastards dared to steal my spirit stones. I'll make you suffer next month!" He raised his fist. His body shone brightly under the light. After he started to practice body training, his skin became even more lustrous.
The sky was clear, and Fat Xiqu noticed the subtle changes in Lin Xuan's body. Combined with the fact that he had entrusted him to help buy the medicine, he understood clearly: "Brother Lin is willing to take the arduous and tiring path of body training in order to get revenge. I have to admire him, Fat Brother."
"I just can't hold my breath. Besides, I have to deal with three people who are at a higher level than me, so I must improve my strength as much as possible."
