down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bustling scene of flying lights that usually filled the sky was much diminished at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no one dared to guarantee that if they flew in the sky, they wouldn't be unlucky enough to be struck down by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, one wouldn't even know if it counted as undergoing the tribulation early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahefang Market covered a vast area and had an inner city, protected by a third-grade grand formation, sufficient to defend against attacks from monsters below the third rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a third-rank monster suddenly attacked, it could often hold out for a while, enough for those inside the city to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the daily operation and maintenance of such a grand formation required a great deal, so it only encompassed the inner city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison, the gathering place for rogue cultivators that spread out from the inner city as its core was not so safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the four directions of southeast, northwest, tens of thousands of wooden and stone houses stood scattered about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside a stream in the southwest corner, a wooden house with one room, one living room, and one kitchen stayed quietly there, separated by nearly two miles from the nearest rogue cultivator's dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quiet outside, but inside the house, the kitchen was a hive of activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One jin of yam, sliced; two liang of white poria; three liang of one-year-old ginseng...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One jin of first-rank monster yellow beef, minced, without a single bit of bone shard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Add scallion, ginger, japonica rice, small fennel...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muttering voice came from a shirtless young man, who stared intently at the pot, from time to time skillfully taking some materials from the wooden shelf beside him and adding them to the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ladle in his hand was flipping and stirring rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a large pot of snow-white beef bone soup was poured in, Luo Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiddling with the firewood in the stove, pulling out a few pieces of wood from time to time, and then quietly waiting for the finished product!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, the young man lifted the pot lid and, looking at the thick concoction inside, couldn't help but take a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this color, moist, white, and bright, top grade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smell this aroma, thick but not dry, top grade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen stretched out his finger, poked a little from the ladle, and stuffed it into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pursed his lips!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The essence is fully manifested; under the stimulation of the angelica and ginseng, the spiritual energy of those five jin of first-rank monster yellow beef has been evenly distributed into this Grain Bigu Powder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It works, the taste is also perfectly handled, top grade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Licking his fingers, Luo Chen couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his experience these past days, just this one pot of Grain Bigu Powder could at least make five bottles of Grain Bigu Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounds a bit funny, but in fact, Luo Chen was refining pills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was the Grain Bigu Pills most commonly used by most cultivators, although it was only a low-end version, at most it could be called Grain Bigu Powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for the temperature to drop, he took it off the stove and poured it onto the cutting board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen picked up a yellowed bamboo slip, poured the thick paste onto it, added a few drops of hundred-flower honey, and then began to roll the bamboo slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the rolling of the bamboo slip, the hot Grain Bigu Powder gradually turned into a cylindrical shape, and the color also became yellowish due to the integration of the hundred-flower honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand movements were extremely fast, pinching the strips of cylindrical ointment into round pills, each the size of a thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, two, three...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo Chen stopped working, fifty Grain Bigu Pills were already neatly arranged on the cutting board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this result, Luo Chen didn't have time to be happy before his attention shifted to the panel in front of him that was invisible to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Luo Chen]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lifespan: 27\u002F75]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirit Root:

First-rank Alchemist: Grain Bigu Powder Grandmaster 501\u002F1000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Achievement Points: 10 points (can be used for corresponding realm cultivation methods, spells, and skill entry)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten achievement points in hand, I can use them to enter the Zhongmiao Pill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this proficiency panel, Luo Chen was actually a bit moved for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been here for a year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he was just a corporate slave who left early and returned late, and in his spare time, he could only play small Xianxia upgrade games on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had no money, such games could only rely on grinding, grinding the progress bar of cultivation methods whenever he had nothing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew that one night he couldn't sleep, grinding game dungeons, and while grinding, he transmigrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original owner of this body was also named Luo Chen, and his age was even the same as his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his early years, he went deep into the mountains and had an encounter in a cave, meeting the remains of a cultivator, and thus embarked on a ten-year path of immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the map guidance in the remains, he came to this Dahefang Market, wanting to participate in the disciple recruitment of nearby sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, ten years ago he was already seventeen, past the sect's sixteen-year age limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with his balanced five-spirit-root constitution, comparable to a mortal without spirit roots, no sect wanted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, he should have gone back to where he came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the original owner's heart for seeking the Dao was very firm, and relying on a bottle of pills, a scroll of Changchun Gong, and a few spirit stones from his encounter, he settled down in this Dahefang Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the early days, because his pockets were empty, he couldn't afford to live in a wooden house near the inner city and could only rent a house by the small stream on the outermost periphery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living in the market is not easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the outermost house required half a spirit stone in rent per month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he built the house himself, half a spirit stone still had to be paid every month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending all his few spirit stones, the original owner did not sit still and wait for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either helping others watch stalls or going into the mountains to hunt with others, in any case, he struggled to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he also felt that this was not the way, so he simply pondered the two pill recipes in the remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhongmiao Pill was a bit difficult, so he could only start researching from the lowest-level Grain Bigu Powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can only be said that people with encounters all have a bit of good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After experiencing several failures in the beginning, he successfully refined Grain Bigu Powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the quality was average, for some rogue cultivators who often went into the mountains to hunt and stayed for ten days or half a month, there were always people buying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the original owner barely settled down in this Dahefang Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, and people have misfortunes and blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that Grain Bigu Powder was not enough to support his cultivation, the original owner set his sights on a broken pill recipe he had collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, during his first attempt at pill refining, the pot exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent explosion even blew down this wooden house at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at that moment that Luo Chen transmigrated and occupied this body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of his situation at the beginning of his transmigration, Luo Chen wanted to cry but had no tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also raining heavily at that time, and in the ruins, he faced this world with a face full of blood, bewildered and helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, everything was already in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A year has passed, and Grain Bigu Powder has finally reached the Grandmaster level of proficiency from the perfect level, just enough to satisfy daily life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The biggest harvest is that the achievement points have accumulated to ten, which can be used to enter the Zhongmiao Pill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen currently had three pill recipes in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first-rank Grain Bigu Powder recipe, the first-rank Zhongmiao Pill recipe, and a second-rank broken pill recipe that the original owner luckily obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pill recipe was called Jade Dew Pill; if successfully refined, one could obtain the second-rank Jade Dew Pill, which was of great use to cultivators practicing water-attribute cultivation methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bottle usually sold for as much as one middle-grade spirit stone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a huge profit, no wonder the original owner was impulsive at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he believed in his own luck, perhaps the easy entry of Grain Bigu Powder gave him confidence, or perhaps the reality of poverty made him take a risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he bravely rushed into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final result was that the pot exploded, the house collapsed, and the person was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Luo Chen had also reached this moment of choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on Grain Bigu Powder could only keep him alive; it was definitely not enough if he wanted to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted resources to cultivate, he had to open another path of wealth besides Grain Bigu Powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was not at all on the Jade Dew Pill, and ten achievement points were not enough to allow the second-rank pill refining to enter the entry level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after discovering the achievement point function on the proficiency panel, he had already made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Zhongmiao Pill must be refined!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be refined!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I don't want a reputation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1684,"2026-06-12T10:35:51.239Z","Gemini 3.1 Flash
