Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Everyone has their own life.

Their own choices.

As a Changshengzhe, Xu Zhangqing plays the role of an onlooker.

Therefore, he did not disturb Li Sancai, who had walked off the arena, but quietly left.

Not long after, he returned to his own one mu of land.

"Woof woof!"

Not seen for a night, Wangwang, who had originally been curled up in his nest, ran out excitedly.

While approaching.

While peeing.

Stubbornly tracing a crooked "straight line".

In the chicken coop, the pearl chickens called "gu gu" twice, watching with calm eyes.

Five Fire Crows circled right above the spirit field, letting out "ga wu" sounds from their beaks.

Under the Yang Shu, the Fortress spoke in a muffled voice: "Welcome home, Master!"

Xu Zhangqing looked at the scene before him, and a strong sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

After Wangwang came close, he squatted down and gave the dog's head a fierce rub.

After playing to his heart's content, he then brought the purchased items into the stone house.

First floor: one living room, one kitchen

The living room was furnished with brand new peach wood tables and chairs and wooden lacquerware bowls and dishes.

The kitchen replaced the old ones with new cast iron woks and ceramic steamers.

Second floor: one bedroom, one study

The ordinary wooden bed in the bedroom was broken down into firewood, replaced by a fragrant, soft, high-grade Nanmu bed.

A blue stone screen was placed near the bedroom door, blocking the bed, adding privacy.

Five glazed lamps: one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom, one in the study, and one left as a spare.

The vine rug was split in two: two meters laid on the bedroom floor, one meter laid on the study floor.

Three storage wooden cabinets: one in the living room, one in the bedroom, one in the study.

【Foundation Spirit Pill】 【Refining Tool Beginner Tutorial】

【Spirit Pattern Basic Explanation】 【Simple Spirit Tool Refining Diagram】

The knowledge inside had already been imprinted in his mind via Spirit Sense Imprint, so they were all placed on the bookshelf.

After finishing, Xu Zhangqing stood at the door, looking at the brand new bedroom and study, and suddenly frowned: "I always feel like something is missing?"

He followed the stairs back down to the first floor, walking straight toward the kitchen.

But not to cook; instead, he came to the basement entrance, opened it, and stepped in deeper step by step.

The basement space was more spacious than before, its area almost the same as upstairs.

Moreover, expanded from the original one layer, it has now been expanded into two layers.

The first basement layer mainly houses the winemaking equipment and miscellaneous items.

The wines are respectively: High-Quality Spirit Rice Wine, Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine, Top-grade Yellow Rice Wine.

High-Quality Spirit Rice Wine is taken to the Loose Cultivator market to sell.

Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine is shared with friends.

Top-grade Yellow Rice Wine is kept for himself to drink.

The second basement layer is divided into three areas.

Respectively: Alchemy Area, Refining Area, Cultivation Room.

The first two are self-explanatory, holding the pill furnace and refining equipment, molds.

The Cultivation Room is mainly for Xu Zhangqing to test cultivation methods and spells.

In summary, a brand new home has been fully arranged, and there won't be major changes for at least ten years.

Xu Zhangqing was very satisfied, grinning: "There are still five days until I go find Senior Sister Yu, I can try refining the Foundation Spirit Pill myself, even attempt forging an ordinary Spirit Tool."

Suddenly, his days became fulfilling.

Before, he only knew farming all day, cultivating various spirit plants.

Now, he can also refine pills, refine tools, and even make spirit food.

As cultivation time grows longer and longer, the techniques learned also become more and more.

Next, he properly settled all the alchemy equipment and refining equipment.

When returning to the first basement layer, he even specially ladled out a bowl or two of Top-grade Yellow Rice Wine.

To a certain extent, this counts as a housewarming.

It's just that Xu Zhangqing has no intention of notifying friends.

Privately, just dragging Wangwang, the pearl chickens, five Fire Crows, and the Fortress to have a meal is enough.

With the New Year approaching, everyone is busy, especially those wanting to participate in the 【Formal Disciple Grand Competition】; they are probably all trying every means to improve themselves.

The best example is Li Sancai.

Every day at the crack of dawn he went to Zhuqi Peak to fight, honing his own combat experience and skills.

One would think Hu Bugui and the others had similar ideas.

Only Xu Zhangqing, because he did not want to participate in the Grand Competition, had not a shred of pressing urgency.

Before long, a table full of sumptuous dishes was ready.

To celebrate, Xu Zhangqing even specially added some meat.

He stir-fried a plate of spirit beast meat with top-grade chili peppers.

He also stewed a pot of top-grade winter melon sparerib soup.

Top-grade spirit rice was more than enough.

Eating the delicious food.

Drinking a little wine.

In the midst of the cold winter wind, it had a special flavor.

……

……

After eating and drinking his fill and washing the bowls and chopsticks clean, Xu Zhangqing sat on the newly bought peach wood chair and began researching the second pill formula, the Foundation Spirit Pill.

This is a pill taken by Foundation Establishment cultivators; its effect is to accelerate the absorption and refining efficiency of spiritual energy.

He learned it before long.

【Foundation Spirit Pill: Entry↑】

Effect One: Spiritual Energy Perception Enhancement +15%

Effect Two: Spiritual Energy Absorption Efficiency +20%

Effect Three: Meridian Toughness Temporary +10%

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Worthy of a pill that only Foundation Establishment cultivators can take; in terms of effects it is already on par with high-quality spirit rice wine."

【Whether to consume 7 years of lifespan to upgrade Foundation Spirit Pill to Miao Shou?】

"Yes."

【Remaining Lifespan: 699 years】

【Foundation Spirit Pill: Miao Shou】

Effect One: Spiritual Energy Perception Enhancement +50%

Effect Two: Spiritual Energy Absorption Efficiency +80%

Effect Three: Meridian Toughness Temporary +30%

Special Effect One: Long-term use permanently increases Meridian Toughness +10%

Special Effect Two: Chance to form a Spiritual Qi Vortex, increasing absorption efficiency by another 50% on top of the original base

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened: "Interesting; when the Spiritual Qi Tide appears next spring, it will be just right to give it a try."

This Foundation Spirit Pill, he naturally intended to sell.

The Labor Strengthening Pill corresponds to Qi Refining loose cultivators.

The Foundation Spirit Pill corresponds to Foundation Establishment loose cultivators.

However, they can forget about eating a Foundation Spirit Pill with special effects.

Miao Shou Level or rather premium pills, Xu Zhangqing keeps for his own consumption.

The main materials for the Foundation Spirit Pill are: iron sand, green wood vine, cold pool water, red flame grass, spirit rice.

Apart from spirit rice, Xu Zhangqing had none of the other four materials.

Therefore, to refine the Foundation Spirit Pill, he still had to make a trip to Hongfeng Valley Market.

Only after the materials were fully purchased could he officially begin.

If it were before, Xu Zhangqing might have hesitated.

A flying paper crane round trip takes quite a long time.

But the current him has upgraded from a bird gun to a cannon; now he has the Big Leaf Grass which flies extremely fast.

Therefore, not a shred of hesitation; he decisively walked out the door.

Even to make the speed faster, he specially injected a trace of fire spirit power.

The wood spirit power ignited in an instant, and the Big Leaf Grass whooshed out.

In the blink of an eye, the person vanished at the far end.

Before long, Xu Zhangqing arrived at Hongfeng Valley Market.

It was quite lively here.

Voices boiling, heads thronging.

The Five Great Powers' trading points were practically packed to the brim.

Unsurprisingly, many people here want to participate in the Formal Disciple Competition after the New Year.

Iron sand and cold pool water belong to commonly used artifact refining raw materials; they must be bought at the 【Spirit Tool Workshop】.

Green wood vine and red flame grass can both be bought at either the 【Nongxin Society】 or the 【Dan Yao Alliance】.

Although prices inside the Immortal Sect are more expensive than outside, the quality is guaranteed.

Considering he still had to refine artifacts after alchemy, and did not want to run back and forth.

Xu Zhangqing simply bought all the materials he needed in one go!
