After making a trip to the Wuhua Pavilion, Su Lie's hundred achievement points ran out again. He even sold one of the four pellets the sect gave him, only then did he get enough to refine four fifth grade pellets.
"It's too dark …"
Just like the last time when he left the Wuhua Pavilion, Su Lie still expressed deep hatred and hatred towards the Wuhua Pavilion, but he didn't dare to say that he wouldn't come next time.
The things inside the Wuhua Pavilion were indeed very expensive, but the quality were all very high and there were many good things about them. They attracted the attention of the disciples within the sect and they all fell into one of them.
One pellet sold to the sect could only be exchanged for ten achievement points, but the medicinal herbs needed to refine a fifth grade pellet were several times the amount of the finished product. This made Su Lie a little speechless.
Many elixirs could not only be used in low-level elixirs, but also in high-grade elixirs, the prices of those elixirs were naturally expensive. If one wanted to use achievement points to exchange for elixirs and then refine them into elixirs to sell to the sect, then using this method to earn achievement points would probably cost one's pants.
Once he returned to his cave, Su Lie attempted to refine a fifth grade medicinal pill. However, the moment he started, he started to regret his decision.
Given how he had just broken through to the fourth level of apothecary, it was almost impossible for him to forge a grade-5 pill.
Just by refining close to a hundred types of spirit medicines, he had already caused Su Lie's nose to turn gray. His spirit energy could not support him at all.
"Sigh!" "Looks like I am overthinking it …"
Looking at the elixir that he had spent 200 merit points on, his intestines turned green.
Since he was unable to refine pills, these elixirs were useless in his hands.
"Forget it, I can still use it later when my spiritual force has increased."
With a wave of his hand, Su Lie kept the elixir. He could only console himself with this.
Actually, everyone knew that putting the spiritual medicines and treasures in his hands was useless. Only by using it to increase his own strength would he be able to obtain a good item.
Even if he exchanged those 200 contribution points for some treasures that could increase his Origin Energy, it was still better than putting these medicinal herbs in his heart.
The only thing that reassured him was that these elixirs would not rot in his hands, and would be used sooner or later.
Since he was temporarily unable to raise his alchemist rank, Su Lie focused his attention on the array.
After temporarily putting down the pill concocting, he started to study the formation with all his might.
In just half a day, his mood had become much better. This was because he was now studying formations at a much faster rate than before. Moreover, he felt that everything was natural and easy. He enjoyed the process of resolving all the difficult problems.
With Grade Four Alchemist's mental power, going back to studying formations was like an adult going to do math problems in primary school. Naturally, there wouldn't be too much of a problem.
In just four to five days, he broke through to Rank three formation master and successfully laid out a Grade 3 Spirit Convergence Array.
After he continued to study for a while, and felt that he had no way to enter the array dao, he stopped and started to cultivate the Triple Mountain Fragment.
He had only successfully mastered the first and the last two stages of Triple Mountain Fragment.
The Triple Mountain Fragment could now be considered his normal means of fighting the enemy, so naturally he had to level up.
After cultivating for a period of time, Su Lie had experienced the benefits of having a strong Spiritual Force.
Once one had a strong spiritual force, whether it was studying formations or practicing martial arts, their results would be twice the result with half the effort.
The strength of his psychic power allowed his mind to become clearer and his thoughts to spin faster. No matter what he was doing, he felt that he was at his ease.
In merely ten days, he had successfully cultivated the second stage of the Triple Mountain Fragment, and completely grasped it. In a flash, two mountain peaks were smashed down from above, which was even heavier, more powerful, and faster.
Su Lie did not stop his footsteps. He spent the greater half of a month to successfully cultivate the third level. After seven to eight days of tempering, he had completely mastered it.
"Tianzi, don't you actually have nine stages of Triple Mountain Fragment? Look, I've already mastered the first three stages, shouldn't you be teaching me the next six stages?"
Su Lie laid on the stone bed, resting with his eyes closed. In his consciousness, he was actually communicating with Tian Zi.
During this period of time, he had been improving his apothecary rank, researching formations, and cultivating martial arts. He did not stop and was tired, so he needed to rest.
It was not a good thing to spend all this time cultivating. Sometimes, it was more important to relax.
"Ugh …"
Tian Zi was sleeping soundly, but he was woken up by Su Lie. Feeling somewhat dissatisfied, he said, "Didn't I tell you already? I was heavily injured, and my memory is slightly damaged. I can't remember a lot of things."
"You remember the flying technique, the Cloud Xiang Nine Transformations, and you don't remember the technique behind the Triple Mountain Fragment?"
Su Lie did not believe it.
"The flying technique merged into my soul consciousness. It was like an instinct, how could I forget about it. Although this Triple Mountain Fragment of yours is also a martial art of our Dragon Clan, I have never really paid much attention to such a stupid martial art. After getting injured, I can't even remember clearly where I am going to practice it. "
Tian Zi said snappily.
"So it's like that …"
Su Lie originally did not hold much hope, so he was not disappointed. He then said, "What martial arts do you remember there? I wonder if there is anything suitable for me?"
"I remember that there are a lot of martial arts, but if it's suitable for you, when the time comes, I will naturally teach it to you. If it's not suitable for you, it's useless for you to take it."
Tian Zi said half asleep as she placed a claw on her head.
"There are no martial arts suitable for me to cultivate now?"
Su Lie asked, unwilling to give up.
"Train again, your cultivation is too low …"
Tian Zi gradually quieted down.
His cultivation was too low?
Su Lie was also slightly stunned. Is my cultivation very low now?
With my current cultivation, if I were to return to Qingyang Town, I could knock out everyone with a single hand. Even if I were to return to Outer Sect of Dayuan, I would still be on par with many elders.
Such a low level of cultivation?
Then what is considered strong, to show off?
Yuan Sect?
Or higher realms?
Su Lie really could not imagine what kind of existence Tian Zi was before she was injured.
Elemental energy, alchemy, and formations were all useless to him in this short period of time. Su Lie had no choice but to train his flying technique.
The flying technique was not only a technique for controlling the air, but it was also a powerful body tempering cultivation technique.
Because of Tian Zi's inheritance, Su Lie had no doubts about cultivating the flying technique and continued to refine his body.
This is the power of inheritance. Once you receive a consciousness inheritance, it's like you were born knowing what to do.
Naturally, it was impossible to change the structure of the blood, flesh, and bones in his body with the Body Refinement Method. He needed a long time to slowly refine it.
When he was cultivating the flying technique, Su Lie was also waiting. He was waiting for the second place challenge not too long ago.
Alchemy, research of formations, and cultivation of Triple Mountain Fragment, he had already spent the last three months, and it would only take a few days for the ranking challenges to begin.
After this ranking challenge, Su Lie also found a way to accept the sect's mission and leave the sect to train for a while. He also wanted to see if he could find some fortuitous encounters.
If he trained arduously in the sect all this time, he would be safe, but he wouldn't be able to obtain any opportunities.
For cultivators, luck was actually more important than hard work. Those experts who could shake the world all had their own great opportunities and relied on their own hard work to become strong. There were truly too few people like this, unless their talent was truly too monstrous.
The cultivation of the flying technique could only be done slowly, step by step. There was no need to be anxious at all. However, with every day that passed, there would be some improvement. Only then did Su Lie calm down and cultivate.
After cultivating for five or six days, Su Lie discovered that unknowingly, his body refining realm had actually risen to the ninth level of the metal stone.
This was a completely unexpected gain, but it also caused Su Lie to be filled with confidence towards the second ranking challenge.
And the ranking challenge was a day away.
"It's time to go out and take a look!"
The ranking challenge was coming. Although Su Lie was confident that he could hold onto the position of the Peak Disciple, he still did not dare to be careless. He had to relax a little and recover his condition.
He still had three Grade 6 Medicinal Pills and some primeval stone, and these things would only rot on him if they were to be transformed into his own strength. He could not help but want to go to Hanhai Palace or the Wuhua Pavilion again.
He went out to take a walk and relax his mind. Furthermore, he had already been in the Inner Sect for half a year, so he really had not been in the sect much.
Walking out of the pill refinement room, Su Lie's gaze fell on the cultivation room's door.
The cultivation room's stone door was opened. The interior was neat and tidy, but there was no one inside. Luo Xiaoyu was no longer here.
Two months ago, not long after the ranking challenge had ended, a female Elder personally came from the sect and brought Luo Xiaoyu away.
Yuan Yang intended to accept Luo Xiaoyu as his disciple, but Luo Xiaoyu remained unmoved. However, she willingly followed the female elder and left, taking her as her disciple.
That female elder was also a legend in the sect. She was only forty years old, but she already possessed the cultivation of the seventh level of the True Profound Realm. Amongst the elders of the Inner Sect, her strength was at the top, while she was the youngest.
The reason why she accepted disciples, was because before Luo Xiaoyu had even entered the Inner Sect, Luo Xiaoyu's master in the Outer Sect, Yuanmai, had already sought out the female elder.
The female elder had observed Luo Xiaoyu for a period of time. During the ranking challenge, Luo Xiaoyu had displayed her amazing potential. In fact, she had been secretly observing this entire time and no longer hesitated, directly accepting Luo Xiaoyu as her direct disciple.
Right now, there was only Su Lie left alone in this huge cave dwelling. However, even though Luo Xiaoyu had already left, Su Lie still kept the cultivation room for her.
"Maybe she'll come back and take a look sometime …"
Su Lie said softly.
In truth, ever since Luo Xiaoyu had been taken away by the female elder, she had never appeared again in the sect. It was as if she had disappeared and had been bitterly cultivating in seclusion.
