Chapter 35: First Test of Length Cultivation
Time flies, and another half month has passed.
In the past half month, Li Xiuchang spent all his spare time on cultivation, except for pickling meat and making fire.
He felt more and more that his "Krypton Gold Cultivation Method" was a bit strenuous. Those elixirs, immortal wines, and spiritual dishes, after eating too much, all developed drug resistance, and the effect was getting worse and worse.
He could only eat in a variety of ways, but this also meant spending more spirit stones.
This was only the initial stage of Qi training. It was foreseeable that the krypton gold cultivation method would become less and less effective as time went on.
This also showed that "Krypton Gold Cultivation" was not a long-term solution, and "long-term cultivation" had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Li Xiuchang's daily cultivation expenses were getting bigger and bigger, and he spent more than a hundred spirit stones on average every day, which made Wang Long, who helped Li Xiuchang purchase cultivation materials, feel frightened.
The spirit stones that Li Xiuchang spent in a month caught up with Wang Long's expenditure for several years!
It was because the smoked spirit meat successfully opened up the inner door market that Li Xiuchang could afford this high consumption.
However, this also left Li Xiuchang with almost no savings.
In addition, the inner gate market has also become saturated, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to earn spiritual stones, and it is about to be stretched.
Fortunately, under the guidance of Li Xiuchang, Wang Long found some scattered cultivators in the outer market and reached cooperation with some merchants.
The market for smoked spiritual meat in Xianchen Sect is indeed saturated, but there are countless large and small cultivation sects in Xianyin Realm, and those are virgin lands to be developed.
Li Xiuchang and his men can't stretch their hands so far, and they don't have the time and energy, so it is the wisest choice to sell smoked spiritual meat to all parts of Xianyin Realm through these merchants.
If you want to reach a cooperation, you naturally have to leave enough profit space for those merchants. Li Xiuchang made appropriate concessions on the price.
Although the profit has become thinner, these merchants take a large amount of goods and pay money quickly, which can be regarded as small profits but quick turnover.
More and more merchants come to purchase goods, even including some chamber of commerce forces. Li Xiuchang has only one requirement for them, that is, to prohibit sales on the territory of Xianchen Sect.
For a time, the smoked spirit meat was in short supply, and many merchants paid deposits and lined up to wait for the goods.
Li Xiuchang and Wang Long had to temporarily expand the scale of production, rent hundreds of furnaces, and hired dozens of talisman masters as firemen, and the output increased several times.
The two have already discussed that they will stock up more goods this time and suspend the production of smoked spirit meat later.
After this wave of wholesale craze is over, it should be temporarily impossible to open up new markets. The demand for smoked spirit meat will stabilize, and the business will mainly rely on repeat customers.
Smoked spirit meat can be stored for more than ten years without going bad. They don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it if they produce more, and they can slowly ship it out later.
The advantage of doing this is that after stopping the production line, Li Xiuchang and Wang Long can be completely liberated, no longer tied down by the daily production of smoked spirit meat, and can focus on other things.
Wang Long has saved a lot of spirit stones from the smoked spirit meat business, and has long wanted to retreat to impact the second-level talisman master.
Li Xiuchang also has a lot of things to do, to practice, and to practice various skills.
…
After the production scale of smoked spirit meat increased several times, it was stopped after only half a month of production.
The output of this half month not only met the purchase needs of all merchants, but also left a lot of goods, enough to support a long time.
Li Xiuchang also made 6,000 spirit stones in this half month, but he spent money here and there, and in the end he still had 4,000 spirit stones in savings.
After finishing the finishing work, Senior Brother Wang Long officially closed his door to break through to the second-level talisman master.
Li Xiuchang also closed his door to break through to the third level of Qi training.
Two days later…
The red mist in Li Xiuchang's training room rolled, like a fire cloud in the evening.
"It's done!"
Li Xiuchang took a deep breath in excitement. He took in too much spirit energy, which made his chest hot, his head slightly dizzy, and he felt like he was drunk with oxygen.
Just over a month after breaking through to the second level of Qi training, he broke through to the third level of Qi training!
It was not difficult to break through the small level in the early stage of Qi training, not to mention that Li Xiuchang's spirit stone paved the way, so the breakthrough was smooth and smooth.
This improvement in cultivation was secondary. The key was that after reaching the third level of Qi training, he could try to increase his cultivation by length.
He quickly calmed down, continued to practice the exercises to stabilize his cultivation, and absorbed the remaining spiritual energy in the training room.
All this spiritual energy was bought with spirit stones and could not be wasted.
After a while, Li Xiuchang had almost absorbed the spiritual energy in the training room, and his cultivation was completely stable. Then he began to close his eyes and enter the state of inner vision.
After breaking through to the third level of Qi training, the biggest change was the birth of a weak spiritual consciousness.
With spiritual consciousness, Li Xiuchang no longer had to open a blind box to take things from the storage bag.
With spiritual consciousness, he could enter the state of inner vision at any time and see the situation in his body clearly.
In the past, Li Xiuchang relied entirely on the body's perception of spiritual energy and mana, but now, he can use spiritual consciousness to see the mana in his body.
He gathered all his mana into his dantian. In the state of inner vision, he could clearly see a small ball of black mana.
At this time, the mana should be spread out, the area should be expanded as much as possible, and then the length should be increased to maximize the benefits.
However, this was Li Xiuchang's first attempt after all. He did not do this out of a safe mentality.
Li Xiuchang was inevitably a little nervous. Success or failure depended on this step.
He clenched a handful of healing pills in his hand to prevent himself from being rescued in time in case of accidents.
Then he gritted his teeth: "Add more to me!"
...
No. 1, Donggeng District, Zhang Wanzhi's residence.
Zhang Wanzhi and Motu were sitting opposite each other and talking. Gui Wuyan's body was thrown to the ground by the two of them without any image, forming a "square" shape.
Suddenly, the two of them turned their heads to look in the direction of No. 18, Donggeng District.
"It's so fast to practice Qi at the third level... That's right, I can only say that the spiritual stones were not wasted." Zhang Wanzhi shook his head and chuckled.
Even though there were several formations between them, Zhang Wanzhi and Motu still instantly captured the subtle spiritual fluctuations when Li Xiuchang broke through.
The two didn't care too much and continued to play chess.
But after a while, the two suddenly stood up, and they all looked at the direction of No. 18, Donggeng District again with shocked expressions.
Zhang Wanzhi was so excited that he overturned the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces rolled all over the ground.
This made Motu's eyes show a hint of murderous intent... If he dropped another piece, it would be a five-star connection!
Zhang Wanzhi seemed not to see Motu's eyes, and murmured: "Fourth level of Qi training? How is this possible!"
After Li Xiuchang broke through the third level of Qi training, he entered the fourth level of Qi training just a moment later!
It is rare for the cultivation to break through two small realms in succession, even in the Qi training stage, not to mention that there is actually a small bottleneck between the third and fourth levels of Qi training to enter the middle stage of Qi training.
Zhang Wanzhi and Motu's consciousness passed through layers of barriers and fell on Li Xiuchang.
The two people's faces changed immediately, and Li Xiuchang's condition was not good!
