I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 41 Seven Years of Practice
When the three of them heard this, smiles appeared on their faces.

The old man said more kindly: "Don't worry, little friend, since you are a pharmacist, you should be treated preferentially if you save lives and heal the wounded. This old man will protect your safety."

Li Jizhou hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Then... that's fine!"

After speaking, the magic circle opened.

The middle-aged man was about to rush in, but was yanked by the old man.

Afterwards, the old man took out a puppet wrestler from the storage bag.

"Little friend, what do you think of this puppet warrior? From now on, you don't even have to clean the yard yourself, just leave it to him!"

After all, the puppet warrior rose against the wind, and he became like an adult in a blink of an eye.

The puppet wrestler immediately strode into the yard.

The old man's spiritual sense scanned the yard through the puppet, and there was nothing abnormal, so he walked in with his son and daughter-in-law!

"Little bastard, why didn't you open the magic circle immediately?" The middle-aged man entered the yard, his face suddenly flickered, the mana in his hand suddenly gathered, and then he made a move towards the ground.

"Pfft~" A ground thorn rose from the ground under Li Jizhou's feet in an instant.

"Earth-type magic!" Li Jizhou's heart moved slightly.

With his level of spiritual awareness, the man had already noticed it as soon as he made a move.

It's not that flustered.

However, he still pretended not to be in a hurry, barely avoiding it in a hurry.

"How dare you hide, little bastard?" The man was furious instantly.

The old man grabbed him.

"Hey, how could you be rude to Pharmacist Li?"

Then he turned to Li Jizhou and said, "Don't be afraid, little friend, as long as you hand over all your family assets, we won't hurt you, and we will protect you in the future... eh? Why..."

However, halfway through speaking, his face suddenly changed drastically.

"Plop~" The woman fell to the ground first.

Immediately afterwards, the man also stared wide-eyed, and collapsed to the ground with an unbelievable expression.

The old man didn't even have a chance to look back at the two of them, and he collapsed instantly.

The reaction of the three made Li Jizhou frown.

"So weak?"

Recently, he majored in Changchun Kung Fu, and did not develop new poisons.

This is the Hualing powder that Guagua tried before.

At that time, there were many experiments, and this kind of poison was only distributed through the air, and it took ten breaths before the croaking took place, and it used up all of its mana, and it collapsed on the ground.

I thought that the monks in the mid-stage of Qi training should last a little longer,
I didn't expect... but three breaths...

"Could it be that croaks still have some poison resistance?"

Shake your head and stop thinking about it,
After quickly cleaning up the belongings of the three people, the three fireballs made them go away peacefully.

This time, I didn't give them one-stop service. It's just a homeless dog who drags the family and only bullies the weak and fears the hard.

Instead, they used waste and buried their ashes under the peach tree in the courtyard.

Anyway, it's also fertilizer!

"This is a wake-up call for myself!"

"It's getting more and more unstable."

"Fortunately, those who can make an idea here are at most like them in the middle stage of Qi training?"

Today's hole cards are more than enough to deal with monks of this level.

However, Li Jizhou didn't care too much, and made a little decoration in the whole small courtyard.

As soon as everything was done, Guagua emerged from the pond with a message.

Sure enough, the small courtyard before him has been occupied by someone.

The Hanging Mountain has no owner and no rules. If there is nothing wrong, it will be calm, but if there is a change, there will be chaos.

Li Jizhou had known this for a long time and didn't have any emotions.

After letting Guagua continue to stare at the Tianji Pavilion, he began to count the spoils.

Also a poor ghost.

The total value of the three of them is less than ten spirit stones. I don't know if they have encountered something before or they are so poor.

A low-grade flying sword, full of scars, it won't last long.

A bottle of qi invigorating pill can properly make up for the lack of spiritual energy here, but... it is still a bad pill.

Although this kind of inferior elixir also has certain effects, but the side effects are greater, and the erysipelas accumulates, blocking the Dao.

Only those who have no hope of going to the next big realm, but are eager for success will take it.

Of course, it may also be that he didn't understand Dan Dao and was deceived.

In his previous life, the alchemist of the second-tier late stage, the pills he took were at least top-grade, with almost no side effects, and the drug resistance was also weak, which could be resolved with time.

Among all the trophies, Li Jizhou took a second look at the puppet skill jade slip in the old man's storage bag.

Although the puppet is ranked behind the pill, weapon, talisman, and array, it's not because it can't do it.

In terms of practical effect, puppets even have other skills that are beyond the reach.

The real reason is that the puppet is too difficult, the threshold is high, and the early effect is insufficient.

Once the puppets are intensively studied together, it will greatly improve the monk's overall combat power and protection methods!
"The mana of the metal system comes from its source, the pill of the fire system forges its shape, and the mana of the wood system connects with its veins, and finally calls its god with a powerful spirit!"

A puppet master must practice at least three kinds of mana, and must have a powerful spirit.

This is really not friendly to casual practitioners who are generally majoring in a single skill and insist on gritting their teeth.

Of course, this is talking about the real puppet master.

And this old man doesn't count at all.

Playing with the wrestler puppet left by the old man, it is not a real puppet in the strict sense.

It's just an elementary semi-finished product, which was only originated with gold-type mana. There is no pill fire forging, no wood-type mana connection, and it doesn't arouse the soul.

The appearance is bulky, the action is sluggish, and there is no independent consciousness, so it can only be manipulated by spiritual consciousness in real time.

"When you leave the Hanging Mountain and find the Anwen Dojo, you can study it in your spare time."

The number one goal in this world is to live long.

On the premise of not affecting this goal, Li Jizhou is willing to try all the arts of cultivating immortals, such as alchemy, talisman, puppet, including body refining, which may accumulate strength for the next life.

"Wait for the Wanfu Pavilion caravan in one year!"

Gather your mind, and calm your mind.

Three months later...

"Seven years!" Seeing that the seventh growth ring at the bottom of his dantian had formed, Li Jizhou slowly closed his efforts.

In the last three years, because of the supplementary fire attribute "Yanlin Jue" to condense the pill fire, the Changchun Kungfu, which should have been trained early to complete the third level of Qi, only came to the later stage.

But in the past year, especially in the six months since Wu Daniu's letter, he returned to normal, focusing on Changchun Kung Fu, making talismans, body training, and intensive research on medicine and poison in his spare time.

In addition, Zheng Yaoshi's small courtyard is closer to the outer city than his previous residence, so the aura is relatively better and more stable.

Therefore, in this year, the progress of Changchun Gong has been much faster than in the previous three years.

At this moment Li Jizhou touched the seventh layer of growth rings, and a stream of Changchun mana spewed out, and in an instant, the realm of the third layer of qi training was perfected!
"Phew~ The next step is the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi training!"

Li Jizhou was neither happy nor sad, his expression was indifferent.

Start to think about the bottleneck of the small realm.

In the practice of this world, every big realm is a natural moat, and it is difficult for those who are not extremely talented to cross it by themselves, and they must be supplemented by refining divine pills with rare treasures from heaven and earth.

And there is a gap between each small realm.

In the early stage of qi training, absorb the aura of heaven and earth into the dantian to transform it into mana.

Now that Li Jizhou's initial stage of Qi training has been completed, this step has been completed, and the next step is the middle stage of Qi training, where he needs to initially condense the gaseous mana into liquid.

Liquid mana is more refined, purer, and thicker.

However, the middle stage of Qi training and even the late stage of Qi training are just the stage of accumulating spiritual energy liquid. Only when the foundation is truly completed, will all the dantian truly become liquid mana.

And the liquid mana is only for the later formation of alchemy, condensed into solid mana to lay the foundation.

The bottleneck between the small realms has almost no effect on those with outstanding talents, and it can be solved overnight.

However, it is a headache for those who are generally below the top-level spiritual root.

Because this bottleneck requires time, tempering, and opportunity to break through.

Many people have been trapped by the bottlenecks between these small realms for a long time, wasting years for nothing.

Of course, it is also possible to break through with the help of the broken rank pill.

It's just that, for ordinary minor cultivators, it's not so easy to get the Broken Rank Pill.

And there have always been rumors that taking too much of the Breaking Rank Pill may affect the future potential, and it will have a certain impact on the foundation building.

However, Li Jizhou wanted to leave the chaotic place of Daoxuan Mountain first, and he had the experience of building foundations in his previous life, plus his experience as a late-stage alchemist of the second rank, so he didn't care much about it.

Part of the reason why he decided to minor in "Yanlin Jue" in the past three years was also because he hoped that he could refine the broken-level pill by himself when he was in a bottleneck.

It's a pity that minoring in "Yanlin Jue" is a little bit of a hindrance to majoring in Changchun Kungfu, and the spiritual meridian here is too poor, so the progress is really slow, and the ray of pill fire cultivated in three years is not enough to refine the mid-stage qi-strengthening pill.

However, now,
In about nine months, the Wanfu Pavilion caravan should arrive, and it should be safe to leave Daoxuan Mountain with the caravan.

There is no need to be too eager to break the rank.

It can take time to boil.

As long as you are stable enough in this life, the most important thing you need is time.
