Hiss! Lu Xiaotian felt a stabbing pain in his brain and quickly withdrew his divine sense from the storage bag.
Lu Xiaotian looked at the black storage bag in bewilderment. It was reasonable to say that the black-robed old man's primordial spirit had been destroyed by him, so opening the storage bag shouldn't be a problem. However, when he used his divine sense to open it, he was still attacked by the cold, viper-like spiritual attack attached to the storage bag.
Perhaps the black-robed old man still had some unsolved secret, but now that the other party's soul had been scattered, this secret would be buried forever.
It was a pity that the golden flying sword was lost. Lu Xiaotian smacked his lips, but he was satisfied with today's battle.
At this time, the black-robed old man had been eliminated, so he could reasonably use the mysterious space in his body. Apart from leaving an empty storage bag on his body, the rest of the spiritual items were sent into the barrier.
After doing this, Lu Xiaotian held his chin. Previously, he was only in the second layer of Qi Refining. Even with a sufficient supply of medicinal pills, it would have taken him several years to cultivate to the fifth layer.
However, he was now in the fifth layer of Qi Refining. The 《Immemorial Scripture》 in his hand could only be cultivated to the middle stage of Qi Refining, so it was urgent to obtain a cultivation method for the late stage of Qi Refining.
However, a cultivation method for the late stage of Qi Refining was basically around forty low-grade spirit stones. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators could barely buy a cultivation method for the late stage of Qi Refining with their usual income. For example, Luo Yuan even had a certain amount of debt. Now he only had eight low-grade spirit stones in his hand, and the things he could sell were only a dozen or so Essence Qi Pills. Although it was a windfall, it was easy for him to be targeted by some late stage Qi Refining or even peak Qi Refining cultivators. This would be extremely disadvantageous for later adventures in the Full Moon Mountain Range and collecting the spiritual items needed to join the sect. Not to mention, later on, he would need a lot of spirit stones to collect the pill formulas for the middle and late stages of Qi Refining.
If he went out to find work, he would need a long time to collect the spirit stones he earned in a month, which would undoubtedly affect his cultivation.
However, Lu Xiaotian thought that in Full Moon City, there were people who could refine tools, raise spirit beasts, refine pills, grow low-grade spirit herbs, or make talismans. All the workshops and shops would offer a good price.
It just so happened that there were more than a dozen Purple Spirit Grass in the Spirit Shield, which could be regenerated and used to refine Qi Gathering Pills. Lu Xiaotian thought about it and decided to start with alchemy.
The consumption of medicinal pills was a huge expense for cultivators, but they could still satisfy their own needs. Even if the effects of the Qi Gathering Pill were not as good, it was still better than nothing. Furthermore, if he were to sell Qi Amassing Pills as a middle and primary Qi Refining cultivator, he wouldn't attract too much attention.
Having figured this out, Lu Xiaotian went out again and bought all the other herbs needed to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, as well as a batch of charcoal. Other than the Purple Spirit Grass, the prices of these supplementary materials were not expensive. In total, he only spent two low-grade spirit stones.
The charcoal was made by burning low-grade spirit wood. Refining pills could also use the Essence Qi in a cultivator's body to directly condense a Primordial Yang Fire, but this would consume too much Essence Qi. Once the Essence Qi in the Dantian was exhausted, the fire would not be able to connect, and the pill would likely become a waste pill.
After preparing the materials, Lu Xiaotian hesitantly looked at the room's environment. The room was too small and not suitable for alchemy. But apart from this room, he had no other place to use it.
He couldn't think too much about it, let's refine first. Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian made up his mind.
He took out the pill furnace that he had bought from Luo Qing. There were purple and yellow stripes on the surface of the pill furnace. These were the unique veined patterns made from Purple Profound Copper. When he touched it with both hands, he felt a cold texture. Three small curved legs supported the small cauldron on the ground.
He had already memorized the Qi Gathering Pill's pill formula. Following the steps to ignite the fire, the temperature of the burning charcoal was very high, and soon the small cauldron was burning red. Lu Xiaotian followed the steps and placed several supplementary materials in one after another, reducing the amount of charcoal. When a slight fragrance came from the small hole on the lid of the small cauldron, Lu Xiaotian took out a Purple Spirit Grass and placed it in.
A moment later, a strange fragrance rose from the cauldron. Lu Xiaotian's spirit shook, it was exactly the same fragrance as the Qi Gathering Pill. But according to the pill formula, at this time the Purple Spirit Grass in the cauldron had turned into a liquid. The opening of the cauldron had to be precise. If it was opened too early, the pill would not be formed, and the medicinal properties would dissipate. The medicinal strength of the refined pill would be greatly reduced. If it was opened too late, the refining time would be wasted, and it would most likely be a waste pill.
Chi — —
Suddenly, the medicinal fragrance in the small cauldron came to an abrupt end, and a choking smell of burnt flesh emerged.
Damn it, just now he only paid attention to the opening of the cauldron, and forgot to control the fire. The fire was too strong, and the temperature in the cauldron was too high. It directly burned the unformed pill liquid.
Bang bang …
The door was violently slammed. "Open the door, open the door! What are the people inside doing? "
"This smell seems to be a waste of refining pills."
"Really ignorant, refining pills in such a narrow space, it would be strange if they didn't waste it."
The several Qi Refining Stage cultivators who lived together in the inn mocked and ridiculed one after the other.
"Cough cough …"
Lu Xiaotian opened the door. The smell of burnt flesh and the high temperature of the burning charcoal made the inn waiter choke and cough violently. After a while, he recovered his breath. Without having time to see Lu Xiaotian's appearance, he loudly accused, "The inn is for people to live in, not a place to mess around. What did you do inside, if the entire inn is burned down, can you afford to pay for it?"
"Leave, our inn does not welcome you, you are not allowed to come to this inn again!"
The movements in the inn quickly alarmed the shopkeeper. In view of the bad influence brought by Lu Xiaotian, he even almost burned down the inn. The shopkeeper was shocked and angry as he chased Lu Xiaotian out. Seeing that Lu Xiaotian was already a Middle-stage Qi Refining Stage cultivator, he did not tell him to scram. But the meaning of his words was more or less the same.
Lu Xiaotian put away the pill cauldron and walked out of the inn in a sorry state. He glanced at the inn angrily. What's so great about it? It's not like I really burned down the inn. He thought resentfully in his heart.
"An ordinary Loose Cultivator wants to become an Alchemist, he's really biting off more than he can chew." There were other cultivators on the road who saw the smoke coming out of the inn. After knowing the whole story, they shook their heads and left.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Lu?"
A familiar voice came from the crowd. Lu Xiaotian looked over and saw the Luo siblings walking over.
"Brother Lu, what's going on? This inn is so unreasonable, I'll go and reason with him." Luo Yuan said very righteously. But soon, Luo Yuan reacted and said in surprise, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with your cultivation?"
"I was in the wrong first." Lu Xiaotian awkwardly pulled Luo Yuan back. Seeing the shocked look on his face, he explained, "I used a little trick before, this is my real cultivation."
Then Lu Xiaotian briefly explained what happened at the inn.
"So that's how it is. So Brother Lu doesn't have anywhere to go now, why don't you move to our place and stay with us? "Luo Qing said enthusiastically after listening.
"Stay with you?" Lu Xiaotian was stunned.
"It's like this." Luo Qing continued.
It turns out that it's very troublesome to rent a place for a rogue cultivator in Full Moon City, and it's very disadvantageous to rent an inn alone. So I rented a small courtyard with a few other good friends. There are four rooms together, and it only costs ten spirit stones a month. The space is bigger than the inn, and there's a small courtyard. Coincidentally, a friend entered the Full Moon Mountain Range last time and unfortunately died, so there's a room empty. Although the price is slightly higher than living in an inn, it's more comfortable to live there. And there aren't as many people as the inn.
Lu Xiaotian was a little tempted, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inappropriate. He had some secrets that he didn't want to be known by outsiders. Even the shadow ants he raised were the same, so that he could unexpectedly defeat the enemy at the critical moment. He secretly pondered for a while. He still had a lot of talismans in his hand. If he sold some, he could solve the spirit stone crisis in front of him. So he refused, "No, I still have some spirit stones on hand. I want to rent a small courtyard alone."
"Renting a small courtyard alone, Brother Lu is really generous. I know a courtyard not far from us. If Brother Lu is interested, you can go and take a look. "Luo Qingjiao clicked her tongue and then said.
In Full Moon City, except for some high-income alchemists, blacksmiths, or late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, only people in the peak stage would rent a courtyard alone. There were even many late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators who rented with others.
"Thank you." Lu Xiaotian didn't refuse anymore. It would take him a lot of effort to find it by himself.
After a few hours, Lu Xiaotian lived in the new courtyard. It was three rooms less than the Luo siblings', but it only cost seven spirit stones a month. The size was enough for him.
It had been a while since he raised shadow ants. Lu Xiaotian took out the jade pond and sprinkled dozens of Beast Spirit Pills on it. He took out the shadow ants from the jade gourd. They were in a dormant state, but they hadn't eaten for a long time.
The awakened shadow ants ate anxiously. A few of them even tore at each other because they ate the same Beast Spirit Pill while eating. It seemed that they were hungry. Lu Xiaotian quickly separated the biting shadow ants.
After feeding the shadow ants, Lu Xiaotian released the leopard from the Spirit Beast Pouch.
"Awoo …" The leopard had been cooped up in the Spirit Beast Pouch for too long. After it came out, it complained and then rubbed its head against Lu Xiaotian's trousers.
