Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 49 Qi Refining Seventh Level (Seeking to Continue Reading)

Upon hearing these words, Li Guanxuan was completely stunned.

The shopkeeper Liu from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion in Shanggu City could actually hear his thoughts?

Mind-reading?

Li Guanxuan's heart trembled. Just as he was about to think of something, he suddenly realized that the person in front of him could read minds. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, please don't be angry. I am straightforward and impulsive. Please forgive me."

After speaking, Li Guanxuan respectfully bowed and apologized.

Obviously, the shopkeeper Liu in front of him was at least a Foundation Building stage cultivator, and also a senior who was proficient in mind-reading. In front of him, Li Guanxuan was indeed a "junior."

The shopkeeper Liu was wearing a loose Daoist robe, but it couldn't hide her exquisite and sexy figure.

Her eyes were like water, with golden eyebrows, eyelashes, and pupils. Even without any makeup, her face was beautiful and charming. Her golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, giving her a touch of exotic charm.

Compared to an eighteen-year-old girl, the shopkeeper Liu was already full of mature charm. Every frown and smile, every glance and look back, had a seductive charm that seemed to be a master of manipulating hearts.

Li Guanxuan didn't dare to look too much, nor did he dare to have any other thoughts. If his thoughts were read, it would be troublesome.

"Xiao Zheng said that you are clever and cautious in your actions, and it seems to be true."

The shopkeeper Liu stared at Li Guanxuan for a few seconds, her bright red lips slightly curved as she smiled lightly. She said, "What do you want to sell? Show it to me."

Li Guanxuan breathed a sigh of relief and took out a lot of pills and talismans.

After seeing the quantity of items Li Guanxuan took out, the shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

"The quality and condition of the talismans are good, all of them are excellent. As for these pills... they are just average."

The shopkeeper Liu carefully examined them and straightforwardly said, "These are a total of 2,736 low-grade spirit stones."

"Deal."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly. This was close to his estimate, and the price from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion in Shanggu City was also fair.

"Senior, what is the price for high-grade Spirit Marrow Pills and Ascending Dragon Pills?" Li Guanxuan asked.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper Liu looked at Li Guanxuan and said, "They are both 1,500 low-grade spirit stones each. Based on your aptitude, you probably need eight of them, and it's not certain if you can successfully break through to the Qi Refining Seventh Level."

Eight pills would cost 12,000 low-grade spirit stones. I don't have that much on me right now... Li Guanxuan thought halfway but suddenly dismissed the idea. He smiled and said, "Senior, please help me prepare some materials for drawing talismans and refining pills. Deduct the spirit stones from the amount just now."

After speaking, Li Guanxuan handed over two pieces of paper with the required materials written on them.

The shopkeeper Liu nodded slightly. The materials listed on them added up to exactly 1,000 spirit stones.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "In Shanggu City, if you can become a second-grade pill master, you will be more sought after than a second-grade talisman master. You might even become a guest of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion and enjoy a salary and benefits."

"I will work hard, senior."

"By the way, let me remind you that although the public security in Shanggu City seems good on the surface, there are hidden dangers. It's best to be more cautious... You are Xiao Zheng's friend. If you encounter any difficult troubles, you can come to me."

"Thank you for your care, senior."

Li Guanxuan expressed his gratitude, but he still remained cautious in his heart. It was best to say less in front of this shrewd and beautiful boss.

However, at least the shopkeeper Liu reminded him.

The good public security in Shanggu City was just superficial.

This was normal since Shanggu City bordered the three major immortal dynasties of Daheng, Dazhou, and Daxuan, and people coming and going had complex identities.

The identity registration at the city gate seemed strict, but it was actually easy to sneak in...

After leaving the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, Li Guanxuan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. It seems that no matter where he is, there is no one hundred percent peace and stability.

But at least near Shanggu City, there is no influence from Fallen Moon Valley.

...

In the following days, besides accumulating immortal energy every day, Li Guanxuan would draw symbols and refine pills to earn spirit stones to purchase breakthrough pills.

One year later.

Li Guanxuan's pill refining technique has advanced to the first-grade superior level.

But he still doesn't have the confidence to refine high-quality Linghui Pill and Ascending Dragon Pill, so he can only try to improve the quality of the Pulse-Protecting Pill and Blood-Activating Pill.

In addition, Li Guanxuan's Golden Spirit Root has also reached the superior level, and the spiritual energy in his body has reached a state of perfection.

If he wants to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it is safer to rely on the power of the breakthrough pills.

Otherwise, if the breakthrough fails, the accumulated spiritual energy of many years will dissipate and he will have to gather it again.

Li Guanxuan doesn't dare to take the risk.

So another year passed.

In this year, Li Guanxuan turned fifty-two years old, and it was also his tenth wedding anniversary with Wen Rongxin.

The Pulse-Protecting Pill, Blood-Activating Pill, Linghui Pill, and Ascending Dragon Pill, Li Guanxuan has already prepared them.

After a night of passion, Li Guanxuan is in his cultivation room, refining the immortal energy and feeling the overflowing spiritual energy in his body. He successively takes the Pulse-Protecting Pill and Blood-Activating Pill.

In an instant, his blood and energy boil, and the surface of his skin slowly turns red, then hot, and wisps of hot steam rise.

At first, Li Guanxuan felt a little uncomfortable, but after slowly taking the Linghui Pill, he gradually improved.

Ten days later.

A strong wave of mana fluctuations emanated from the cultivation room, but quickly dissipated like a faint breeze, concealing its presence.

Li Guanxuan has taken all four breakthrough pills and successfully advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining, entering the later stage of Qi Refining.

After feeling the improvement in his body, a smile appeared on Li Guanxuan's face.

Ten years ago, he was just a struggling second-level Qi Refining cultivator at the bottom.

Now, after ten years, he has reached the later stage of Qi Refining.

"I must achieve Foundation Building before the age of sixty. Otherwise, I'm afraid the immortal energy won't be able to improve my physical aptitude."

After the joy, Li Guanxuan's heart was somewhat worried.

He is now fifty-two years old, with at most eight years left until Foundation Building.

Once he surpasses sixty, not only will the success rate greatly decrease, but his aptitude will also not be effectively improved.

This is not conducive to his future cultivation path.

Although he can live a long life, these breakthrough standards are the experiences left by his predecessors. If he can break through to Foundation Building according to these standards, it would be the best.

"The immortal energy of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree should be able to improve aptitude. Otherwise, why would my Golden Spirit Root and Fire Spirit Root have been improved?"

Li Guanxuan fell into contemplation.

But it is obvious that if he wants to improve the aptitude of his Wood Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root, he must take in two concubines.

"I have to find a way..."

Li Guanxuan secretly made up his mind. Even if he would be held by Qin Jiyue, he still has to improve the aptitude of his Wood Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root within eight years.

It is necessary to consider the Foundation Building before the age of sixty for the sake of the future.
