Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Wu Tian Zhang gently nodded, “Indeed, learning alchemy is extremely difficult in the early stage. Purchasing your own furnace is far more convenient than renting one in Immortal City.”

And then, his face became serious as he reminded, “Junior Brother Lin, you must be mentally prepared, as beginning alchemy is extremely difficult. My family has been practicing medicine for generations, so I have above-average talents in the field of medicinal herbs.’

Speaking up to here, he shook his head, “Even so, it took me four to five years of studying in the Pill Hall to successfully refine the first pill, and nearly a decade to fully become an alchemist.”

Lin Yi had previously researched alchemy, and Wu Tian Zhang’s words made him understand even further how difficult alchemy could be. With determination on his face, he said, “Elder Brother Wu, no matter how difficult it is, I want to give it a shot.”

A glimmer of brilliance flickered in Wu Tian Zhang’s eyes, surprise visible on his face, “Your cultivation level has reached the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement, it seems that in the past year, except for watching over the medicinal field, the rest of your time has been spent on cultivation. The last time I saw you, you were at the peak of the Qi Refining Level Four.”

Breaking through two cultivation levels within a year, even while watching over the medicinal field, made him view Lin Yi in a new light.

After some consideration, he meditated for a while, “If you truly want to learn alchemy, you may, in the next year, plant Spirit Grass, one of the auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Building Pill. This is the best quality Spirit Grass that can be grown in a lower-grade medicinal field. The difficulty is quite high, but your cultivation level at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement should be sufficient.

“If the planting goes well, I will ask the Dan Hall Elder for permission to let you help out during your free time, accumulating some experience. Are you willing to do this?”

Lin Yi’s expression shifted slightly. Even though he had the title of Enlightenment, starting in alchemy might not necessarily be so easy. If he could assist in the Pill Hall and watch some Pill Masters refine pills, it would be a tremendous help to him.

“Thank you, Elder Brother Wu, I am willing, I will plant the Spirit Grass next year.” he expressed his thanks with a bow.

The Foundation Building Pill could enhance the success rate of Foundation Establishment, allowing cultivators at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement to succeed at Foundation Establishment faster.

However, the ingredients for this pill were extremely expensive. Additionally, the difficulty of refining a Foundation Building Pill was quite high, so this type of pill, which allowed Qi Refining cultivators to become true cultivators, also ended up being a scarce commodity.

An inferior-grade Foundation Building Pill cost about five hundred Spirit

Stones each, and could slightly enhance the success rate for Foundation Establishment. As for a supreme-grade Foundation Building Pill, it could potentially improve the success rate by 50%, but it was priceless. Each supreme-grade Foundation Building Pill would be auctioned off rather than directly sold.

Moreover, only one Foundation Building Pill could be consumed at a time, taking more would not stack the success rate. So, the idea of buying handfuls of inferior-grade Foundation Building Pills and consuming them like candy was unfathomable.

Spirit Grass was the only ingredient for a Foundation Building Pill that could be grown in a lower-grade medicinal field, all other ingredients required to be planted and grown in a medium-grade medicinal field.

“Fine, come and find me for the seeds in a month.” Wu Tian Zhang nodded in agreement, saying with a smile.

He thought that this Lin Yi had a very good talent for farming and didn’t mind helping him within his capabilities.

Lin Yi thanked him again, and after parting ways with Wu Tian Zhang, he walked to the Scripture Hall. He spent a thousand Merit Points to learn a Thunder System Technique, a high-order spell that could only be learned in the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, he told the Scripture Elder that he wanted to practice in seclusion, and studying this spell in advance would mean that he could start cultivating it immediately after the breakthrough.

The Scripture Jade Slips had no restriction on use. They could just be transferred into the mind, and if the cultivator’s realm wasn’t sufficient, they would be sealed and the cultivator wouldn’t be able to examine or learn from them.

Therefore, many cultivators chose to advance the scripture, stored it in their mind, and would start studying once they reach the realm.

At this time, Elder Liu, the man who sold the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind in the Scripture Hall on Golden Sword Peak, had left. But the unfamiliar Scripture Elder here didn’t ask too many questions. As long as he paid the Merit Points, they wouldn’t care whether the person studying met the cultivation requirement.

After receiving the Scripture Jade Slip, Lin Yi placed it on his forehead and ignited it with spiritual power. The jade slip flashed with a spiritual light, and the knowledge related to the Thunder System Technique entered his mind.

In front of his eyes, a pop-up window appeared, “[Five Thunder Curse] (Not

Activated).”

Seeing the information that it wasn’t activated, Lin Yi had some doubts in his heart. Did high-level Qi Refinement spells require activation through introductory cultivation?

So far, only two Cultivation Techniques required introductory cultivation for activation, one was the body-refining Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, and the other was the previously acquired Divine Shadow Dharma.

However, after digesting the relevant information of the Five Thunder Curse, he suddenly realized that Thunder was a kind of derived element and was not included in the five elements of spiritual roots. Therefore, it needed to attract thunder into the body like the Wind Transformation Technique in order to successfully cultivate.

Like this, when there was the element of Thunder in the body, the Five

Thunder Curse could be released, rather than creating thunder out of thin air.

After receiving the scripture, Lin Yi immediately left Golden Sword Peak and returned to his Cave Mansion on Jin Qiao Peak to start practicing in seclusion for the Divine Shadow Dharma. This life-saving secret technique must be initiated as soon as possible.

He used the title [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] to continuously cultivate the Divine Shadow Dharma. Every three days he would stack the Enlightenment effect.

After two attempts, he felt the enlightenment brought less and less improvement, so he did not waste any more time. After accumulating three more days of enlightenment, he wore the [Kind Junior] necklace, used his Virtue Points and activated the Minor Blessing State.

In the past year, he also found time to go to Qing Yun City to rescue more souls, and his Virtue Points increased from the previously accumulated 300 points to the current 600 points..
