The bedroom was filled with the smell of yesterday's joy. The beauties on both sides were still sleeping in Begonia Spring. Chen Li continued to lie there for a while, then moved his arms and legs and stood up resolutely from the gentle land.
He put on his robe.
As if she felt that there was someone missing beside her, the sleeping lady murmured and turned over to wrap herself around Zhou Hong. The spring light was exposed and the white jade was fragrant.
Chen Li couldn't help but laugh, curling the corner of his mouth with disdain, and stepped forward to gently tuck her into the quilt.
He is quite satisfied with his current life. His cultivation is going smoothly, he has a great road in sight, he has a lovely wife and concubine at home, and he is in a sect. As long as he has no tasks, most of the time, his life is extremely leisurely.
Compared to the Qi training period, it is countless times better.
He walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and went to the talisman-making room to prepare for the talisman-making.
He took out fourteen talisman skins and lined them up...
As long as you are at home, unless you are in retreat, the first thing you do when you get up every morning is to draw symbols.
Since the establishment of the foundation, he has rarely made a fortune, relying entirely on drawing talismans to make a living.
Fortunately, compared to when he first established the foundation, his spiritual power has increased by more than 50%, and now he can draw fourteen golden amulets in one breath.
He calmed down for a while.
Feeling that his heart was completely calm and without any disturbance, he picked up his pen, dipped some blood ink in it, and began to draw symbols.
He writes very quickly and his writing is very fast.
One piece!
Two!
…
Fourteen pictures!
Every success was achieved, and not a single one failed.
Of course, for Chen Li, who has already reached the master level of Golden Light Amulet, failure is extremely rare.
When the blood ink gradually dried, he collected the golden amulets one by one, folded them into a pile, and put them into a storage bag.
"Three more middle-grade spiritual stones."
The consignment price of the Golden Light Amulet is 22 low-grade spiritual stones per piece. Fourteen pieces are equivalent to 308 low-grade spiritual stones. After deducting the cost of blood ink on the talisman skin, the net income is about ten high-grade spiritual stones per year.
His family's annual consumption is only about six.
There are four left.
However, this is based on the premise that Chen Li does not use medicinal baths to assist him in practicing the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Kung Fu.
If it's a medicinal bath, this little money can't afford it.
He had already gone to the elixir shop to inquire about it some time ago.
There are a total of more than a dozen kinds of elixirs in the prescription, and each one costs twelve middle-grade spiritual stones. Even if you take ten medicinal baths a month, you can't buy fourteen high-grade spiritual stones a year. In total, it is twenty per year.
pellets.
Thinking about coming here, the place where my arm was once broken seems to be aching again.
"Why don't you try the medicated bath for a while first and see the effect? With my current savings, I should be able to last for another year or two." Chen Li thought to himself: "As for buying large-capacity storage bags and magic weapons, I can only buy them first.
It’s been delayed for a while, but there’s no rush!”
He made a decision in his mind.
…
After Chen Li finished practicing his sword, he rushed to the elixir shop inside the door.
The elixir shop not only sells elixirs, but also buys and sells herbal medicines.
He had no need to keep it secret, so he handed the transcribed prescription directly to the shopkeeper and asked him to prepare ten copies according to the prescription.
The shopkeeper was obviously experienced. He read the prescription carefully for a while and asked aloud: "Senior Chen, this is a second-level medicinal bath recipe. The frying process is cumbersome and complicated. Steaming and cooking have their own order. The requirements for the heat are extremely high. If it is fried, it will be useless."
, not only the efficacy of the medicine is greatly reduced, but also toxins are produced. I wonder if the seniors have experience with this?"
"I don't have much experience. What advice does the shopkeeper have?" Chen Li lowered his attitude and asked.
"Senior Chen is too polite, but I don't take the advice seriously. Every year, our elixir shop trains some mortal medicine boys who are proficient in identifying medicines, growing them, and decoction them. Each of them has a bond. Buying one can save senior a lot of trouble."
." The shopkeeper smiled.
Chen Li didn't expect that there was such a business in the elixir shop. He thought that it would save trouble and he couldn't control the matter of the spiritual stone. He asked: "I wonder how much it costs to buy a medicine boy?"
"Senior, the prices vary according to appearance and experience, but the highest price is no more than one medium-grade spiritual stone. I will have all the medicine boys call over so that senior can carefully select." The shopkeeper called a waiter and asked him to
He brought people over.
The waiter responded respectfully and soon brought over a dozen people, both men and women.
The older one is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one is only twelve or thirteen years old. Each one looks like a top-notch choice.
It is truly an evil feudal society.
Chen Li looked around and finally chose a girl with a quiet and well-behaved face and calluses on her hands.
Then, the two parties agreed on a price to buy the deed.
Then I grabbed ten more medicinal materials, which was a big bag.
Chen Li led the girl out of the elixir shop.
The girl's name is Bai Wei, she is fourteen years old. When asked, she kept holding her clothes with her hands and looked nervous and uneasy. When Chen Li asked, she answered. According to her, she was sold by her parents when she was only five years old.
Now he has become a drug boy, and he has no memory of what happened at home.
When asked how to deal with medicinal materials, he got a little more energetic and spoke eloquently.
"The medicinal materials have different properties, and the order of frying techniques is also different. Some must be fried in a clay pot, not an iron pot, some can only be cooked with slow fire, and fire will destroy the properties of the medicine..."

"Okay, okay, Bai Wei, I will take you to the sundries store later to see if there are any necessary appliances and buy them!"
"Yes, sir." Bai Wei said respectfully quickly.
Chen Li led Bai Wei and, under the guidance of the other party, bought a large number of torture equipment. He thought that since he bought a maid, he might as well buy a few more, so that Zhou Hong and Zhang Shuniang could also save some money.
Then he walked into a building that specialized in buying and selling mortal servants, and bought two young rough servants for the price of ten low-grade spiritual stones each.
…
Facts have proved that these three maids really made the right purchase.
Preparing the medicinal materials was laborious, and required repeated cooking with various types of fires. Bai Wei directed two maids, who were rough messengers, to work hard. With Zhou Hong and Shu Niang helping them, they continued to work until nightfall. A large bucket of medicine was prepared.
The bath is complete.
"Hiss, it's so hot!" Zhang Shuniang tested the water temperature in the tub and said to Bai Wei, "If you really want to soak in it, can't you wait for it to cool down for a while?"
"Second Madam, this way the medicine can have the best effect. When it gets cold, the medicine's effect will be greatly reduced." Bai Wei said hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, you all can go out," Chen Li said.
After the group of warblers left, Chen Li took off his robe and soaked in a bathtub filled with medicinal herbs.
He couldn't help but groan.
The hot medicinal power continuously seeped into the body through the skin, and soon the skin was burned all over. Chen Li did not hesitate and immediately activated the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Skill.
The next moment, an even more turbulent heat flow poured into the body. For a moment, the body was burning like a flame, and everything in the body was painful.
"What a powerful medicine!"
Chen Li gritted his teeth and struggled to support himself.
After a full hour, the heat gradually faded away.
The turbid medicinal liquid has become slightly clear, all the medicinal power has been absorbed, and the original pungent smell has disappeared. He continued to operate the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Skill until all his spiritual power was exhausted, and then he opened it.
Eye.
"The twelve middle-grade spiritual stones are just gone!"
Chen Li sighed, his heart aching secretly, and he felt the bones all over his body: "It has some effect. This day's practice is better than the ordinary half-month effort!"
It’s just that the cost is a bit high, but fortunately we can still manage to support it for the time being.
He got out of the bathtub and used a cleaning technique to remove the remaining medicinal liquid from his body. He raised his arm and smelled it. There was still a slight medicinal smell left on his body. It was estimated that it would not be removed in a few days.
He stretched out his hand to explore, and with a roll of spiritual power, the distant robe flew into his hand. He put on the robe and walked out:
"Master!" the two maids said respectfully.
"Go clean it up."
"Yes, sir!"
…
As a second-level magic, the Earth Escape Technique is much more difficult than the previous first-level magic.
Among them, there are six incantations and five seals.
The invocation of spiritual power is more complicated.
If you make any mistake in any step, all your efforts will be wasted.
Among them, there was a spell and two seals that Chen Li had never come into contact with before. Fortunately, the sect lacked everything except colleagues.
Unlike the Qi Lian Powder outside, most of the Foundation Establishment monks in the sect would learn several surgical techniques. Chen Li shamelessly consulted several fellow Taoists before he had some clues.
But even so, it still took Chen Li more than a month to make a breakthrough.
In the quiet room.
He chanted a mantra silently.
The seals in his hands turned into an afterimage.
next moment.
He was covered with a faint yellow light.
The ground is as rippling as water.
"It's finally done!" Chen Li was pleasantly surprised.
"escape!"
"Eh? Why can't you escape?" Chen Li stamped his feet, but the ground was still extremely solid: "The spell was unsuccessful?"
It wasn't until he noticed that the ground was full of rocks that he realized what was going on.
He left the quiet room and walked quickly to the courtyard.
As soon as he thought about it, his body sank suddenly and quickly sank into the ground.
"Is this underground?"
Dark, suffocating, unable to breathe.
The soil around him seemed to turn into liquid and tightly wrapped around his body. He could not feel the texture of the soil at all. He could only vaguely perceive his surroundings with his spiritual sense.
"About one or two meters above the ground..."
Chen Li felt that he was not far away from the ground, and couldn't help but feel at ease.
Immediately, he began to try to sneak underground.
The sneaking speed is not very fast, just like jogging by ordinary people.
But it cannot be seen visually, only by perception.
Chen Li still almost hit rocks several times.
The underground of the cave courtyard was full of intertwined tree roots and huge rocks, which posed great obstacles to escaping. He could only bypass them one by one until more than ten minutes later, he felt that the spell was about to expire.
He hurriedly emerged from the soil, his whole body was spotless and there was no trace of soil on him.
…
A few days later.
wilderness!
A figure flew rapidly in the air, and suddenly he swooped down.
"Earth Escape Technique!"
The moment the figure fell to the ground, it instantly disappeared into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
This figure is none other than Chen Li.
After sneaking for several hundred meters, he emerged from the soil and patted the non-existent soil on his robe.
"Flying to the sky and escaping to the earth, that's all, so good!"
"It's a pity that we can only choose mud, which is a bit limiting..."
In places like rocky mountains and forests where tree roots are widespread, it is difficult to use escape techniques. Moreover, even in mud, the ground is mostly rocky, making it impossible to escape too deep.
Chen Li was a little disappointed and wondered if it could be improved after the spell level was increased.
