Chapter 9 Life as a Casual Cultivator
Make bold assumptions, analyze calmly, and experiment carefully.
Li Su never thought that in the world of cultivating immortals, he could use modern experimental analysis methods.
"Sample No. 1: Headshot."
"Sample No. 2: Manic symptoms."
“Sample Three: Adaptive Evolution.”
"Sample No. 4: Visible optimization improvements."
"..."
for the next three days.
Li Su never left the inn's room and purchased live animals through the inn's waiter.
Gray rabbit, field mouse, goat.
Groups of experimental subjects were tortured severely by Li Su.
Li Su also gradually concluded several obvious rules for the existence of the 'Demon Refining Pot'.
"The demon refining pot only absorbs flesh and blood with spiritual energy."
"After the demon refining pot absorbs the spiritual flesh, it will be refined into a liquid as bright red as blood."
"The red liquid is similar to the legendary Imperial Liquid, and has the effect of promoting the evolution and growth of monsters."
"Some mortal beasts will explode if they use too much red liquid, and some mortal beasts will evolve if they use an appropriate amount of red liquid. Preliminary guess: the latter mortal beasts have a very small amount of monster blood in their bodies."
"Question to be verified: Can the human body evolve by absorbing red liquid?"
"..."
Li Su yawned with panda eyes.
He destroyed all the 'evolved monsters' one by one without any emotion on his face.
Because Li Su knew that monsters would gradually develop spiritual intelligence, some big monsters could even transform into adults during the Nascent Soul stage.
Although Li Su was urinating blood due to poverty, he still had no intention of selling the monster.
Who knows whether these sold monsters will expose their 'secrets' in the future?
"The rule I will set in the future is: no monster that has seen the Demon Refining Pot can escape from my hands alive..."
"However, I can't sell this monster, but I can sell spiritual materials!"
Li Su fished out a drowned 'Purple Lightning Vole' from the water.
It is the size of an ordinary field mouse, but it has patterns on its back. The purple fur is very conspicuous, with silver mysterious lines. At first glance, it is not a simple monster...
"This vole has the most extraordinary performance. It can discharge electricity as soon as it evolves into a monster."
"It should be easy to sell the fur to make thunder and lightning talismans, right?"
"This goat's skull looks like gold but not gold, and its hardness is comparable to that of an ordinary alloy. Maybe it can be sold to a weapon refiner to refine weapons?"
…
God's Hand Valley.
Han Li handed the porcelain bottle to Li Feiyu and warned: "You will die if you take the marrow pills again."
Li Feiyu smiled nonchalantly and said, "You don't understand..."
Han Li frowned and did not try to persuade him any more, but just started talking about things within the sect, such as the martial arts that Han Li was quite envious of.
Li Feiyu shook his head and said, "You can't practice martial arts without internal strength."
"Isn't there any martial arts that doesn't use internal force?" Han Li asked with some confusion: "There must be some in the Scripture Collection Pavilion of Qixuanmen, right?"
"this……"
Li Feiyu hesitated and said.
"There may be martial arts that do not use internal force, but I have to make meritorious deeds before I can be rewarded for choosing the martial arts."
"Is that so?"
Han Li felt a little disappointed.
Li Feiyu comforted him: "When I go in next time, I will definitely help you find the skills that you can practice without using internal force."
Han Li felt quite pleased when he heard this.
…
"Success!"
In Tiannanfang City.
Li Su watched a group of purple spirit earthworms sink into the black soil.
This black soil was spiritual soil that he purchased from a casual cultivator for one spiritual stone.
In addition to a pot of spiritual soil, there are also more than ten kilograms of rice husks.
"Although the spirit earthworms can grow up quickly by eating red liquid, they still need to buy some rice husks to cover them up."
Li Su followed the method he learned from others, processed the spiritual rice husks and threw them into the blue and white porcelain basin.
Spirit earthworms as thick as chopsticks emerged from the soil, opening their mouths to swallow the fermented humus. Circles of ring-shaped patterns squirmed on the purple body.
This kind of creature with no intelligence is more trustworthy to Li Su than those monsters that are more likely to turn on intelligence.
"After these spirit earthworms produce some feces, I will soon be able to form a positive cycle."
After speaking, Li Su took out the demon refining pot.
Shake it gently and feel the red liquid in the pot.
There should be a shallow layer of red liquid left, which can barely fill a wine glass!
"Flesh and blood with aura is not that easy to get!"
Li Su was lucky enough to get the flesh and blood of a few poisonous toads.
Now, if you want fresh monster flesh and blood, you may have to spend spirit stones to buy it...
"Tiannan is a remote and remote area. Not only are elixirs and mines rare, but even high-level monsters are rare."
Li Su immediately remembered the chaotic sea of stars in the original work.
Monsters of all levels in the boundless sea continuously attack the island where the cultivators live.
"That's my treasured place!"
Li Su touched the demon refining pot and put it in his arms.
He always felt that the Demon Refining Pot was not that simple, otherwise how could he compete with the Heaven Palming Bottle?
Li Su felt that he must have not discovered the real secret of this treasure.
Perhaps, producing red liquid is only a small part of the Demon Refining Pot's function?
"Oh, it's time to go out for a walk!"
Come out of the inn.
Li Su greeted the shopkeeper.
These days, he lives in an inn, thanks to the protection of the other party...
However, there were people coming and going in the inn, and Li Su was still determined to rent a house in the market after he got rich.
'Safety is most important. '
Li Su made up her mind and went out.
The market is still as deserted as when Li Su came.
At this time, Li Su no longer had the curiosity that excited him when he first entered the world of cultivation.
Holding the last spirit stone in his arms and a large bag of monster materials, Li Su murmured in his heart: "When I have the spirit stone, I will buy two storage bags, one for the spirit stone and one for the materials."
After walking around in the market, Li Su found an acquaintance.
That casual cultivator surnamed Jun who was tricked by Taoist Hesong!
The other party was setting up his stall in despair.
Li Su walked over curiously.
Several herbs that Li Su didn't recognize, a common iron mother ore, and a low-level leaf-shaped magic weapon.
"If you can't afford the price, leave."
Jun Fengshan, who looked dejected, still spoke harshly and drove away a casual cultivator who was trying to bargain.
Li Su glanced at the stall and his eyes fell on a few books.
"How many spells does this basic spell book include?"
"There are a total of seven spells for the early stages of Qi training!"
"How much do you plan to sell a copy for?"
"Five spiritual stones for one portion!"
Jun Fengshan said after seeing Li Su.
"It's too expensive. It's the same price as the store. Why don't I go to the store?" Li Su immediately bargained for a price: "You copied these spells, right? You dare to sell a copy of the spells for five yuan!"
Li Su remembered that Han Li's "Changchun Gong" only cost two spiritual stones, but it was a tie-in when Han Yunzhi was selling talisman pens and talisman books.
"But this contains my master's experience. My master is at the eleventh level of Qi training."
"This...but it's too expensive." Li Su knew that this kind of book with its own handouts was different from the original version of the exercises. The difference was like a textbook and a tutorial book, but he still pretended to be disgusted and said: "How many spells are there?"
"Sky Eye Technique, Wind Control Technique, Hypnosis Technique, Quicksand Technique, Fire Bullet Technique, Object Control Technique, Illusion Body Technique."
"They are all ordinary spells!" Li Su opened his mouth and lowered the price: "Except for illusion and hypnosis, I have learned several other spells. Can you sell them here in bulk?"
"Bulk sale?"
Jun Fengshan's eyes widened.
“How can a book be sold in bulk?”
"Oh, then I don't need it. Wouldn't it be a loss?"
Li Su spread his hands, looking like he had suffered a big loss, and pointed to several other stacks of books, Jun Fengshan suggested.
"Why don't you give me some other books, and I'll give you a spiritual stone and some refining materials?"
Jun Fengshan looked at the other books on the stall.
"Thirteen common monsters in Junshan", "Seven ways to deal with dangerous places", "Characteristics of one hundred and eight kinds of spiritual grass", "Characteristics of common spiritual minerals in Tiannan", "I am the gatekeeper of the Hidden Moon Sect" day".
"No, one spiritual stone is too little."
Jun Fengshan shook his head and said firmly.
"But these books of yours can be copied in batches. You can just find a down-and-out scholar in the world, copy them once, and then sell them for money..."
Hearing what Li Su said, Jun Fengshan blushed with embarrassment.
Because that's what he planned!
"As for me, I only have a spiritual stone and a piece of demon beast bone as a training material."
Li Su looked like he would leave if he failed, which immediately made Jun Fengshan hesitate.
"Show me the refining materials!"
"okay!"
Li Su picked up the big sheep's head.
Jun Fengshan reached out and knocked the sheep's head, then touched the sharp horns, and said: "This is a bit strange, you can only build strange weapons!"
"Hey, it would be great if our casual cultivators can collect materials. If I sell these materials in the store, I might be able to sell five spiritual stones. It's more than enough to exchange for these books of yours..."
Jun Fengshan hesitated and nodded.
"OK."
Li Su took out a spiritual stone and threw it over, and the big sheep-headed Li Su also let go.
He took away all the paper books on Junfengshan's stall.
Jun Fengshan glanced at it without stopping.
Because these are paper books, he can find people to copy them a hundred times, and he will make money if they sell them...
"Money and goods are both in order."
Li Su wrapped the book in sheepskin and turned around and left.
