10: There are a lot of treasures in the storage ring!

It was a standard single room, with a brazier in front for cooking, and thoughtful nests for Big Yellow and Little Leopard...

He piled rice, flour, grain, and oil to one side, and designated an area for the chickens, ducks, and geese, but they immediately flew out.

Tang Tian sighed, "Forget it, let them free-range."

The chickens, ducks, and geese ate Li Gu Grass leaves, which were useless for Tang Tian to eat, so he let them be.

Fortunately, the chickens, ducks, and geese weren't noisy. Little Leopard, however, was quite excited, constantly chasing chickens and looking for ducks and geese, but couldn't catch them...

Tang Tian cooked a meal for himself, a rare enjoyment, and planted the village's rice seeds.

As soon as the rice seeds were planted in the Spiritual Land, the rice sprouted. If it were ordinary rice, it would have already grown.

Now nourished by the Spiritual Land, it became spiritual rice. In the future, if Tang Tian planted other vegetables, it would be the same.

Tang Tian looked at the rice sprouts with satisfaction and said, "It should be edible in a few more days. Even ordinary rice seeds can be cultivated into spiritual rice. I wonder what spiritual rice tastes like? Never mind, I'll Cultivate first."

Then came the waiting, but Tang Tian didn't want to waste time...

He picked up the heavy sword and began to practice his swordplay.

He swung it wildly, without any specific Move, relying only on brute force.

Tang Tian said, "No, this won't do. I still need to find a Cultivation Technique..."

He then took out the Storage Ring, put it on his hand, and began to study it.

Gathering his Mental Energy on the ring, Tang Tian felt the ring continuously absorbing his Mental Energy, like a water pump.

In a few seconds, his Mental Energy was gone.

Yin Sha Old Man was a Qi Refining stage, 3rd level Cultivator, and his methods were beyond Tang Tian's comparison.

He could only use his Mental Energy to continuously wear away the Divine Soul imprint. Finally, the restriction loosened.

He pushed through in one go and entered the ring's interior.

Tang Tian rejoiced, "Let me see what's inside. A few bottles of Medicinal Pills, a sword technique, a map, a black Medicine Cauldron, the "Elementary Alchemist Codex," a Pill Formula for a Blood Pill, and a black dagger.

"There's really a lot of stuff here!"

Tang Tian branded the ring with his own Divine Soul imprint and decided to keep the ring inside the Medicine Venerable Space, not planning to take it out.

He poured out all the items inside like spilling beans.

The Medicinal Pills were all Poison Pills. Touching them caused skin ulceration, and crushing them released a poisonous mist that caused drowsiness. Yin Sha Old Man was truly sinister.

The sword technique was called "Heavy Sword Technique," which explained that the heavier the sword, the fiercer the swordplay.

Tang Tian read from "Heavy Sword Technique," "Beginners should use a sword weighing three hundred catties to begin practicing the sword."

Tang Tian was stunned. No wonder Yin Sha Old Man hadn't practiced it.

The map was a treasure map of forces in Qingmu County, containing over thirty large and small forces in Qingmu County.

It marked Spirit Medicine, spiritual fruits, silver, and Cultivation Techniques.

Yin Sha Old Man was a sixth-grade Alchemist, a sought-after figure by the forces in Qingmu County.

Now, Tang Tian had stumbled upon a great find.

However, Tang Tian didn't believe his "Evergreen Skill" could help him acquire these things.

Next was the Pill Cauldron, a very small Medicine Cauldron.

It grew larger when Spiritual Qi was injected into it.

Tang Tian exclaimed in surprise, "This Medicine Cauldron is palm-sized, but it expands when Spiritual Qi is injected!"

However, Tang Tian's Cultivation was too low to control how much to inject, and it directly drained all the Spiritual Qi from his body.

The Medicine Cauldron became as big as a house, leaving Tang Tian on the verge of tears.

Then came the "Elementary Alchemist Codex."

This "Elementary Alchemist Codex" was most suitable for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian read with delight, "It has basic Pill Formulas for healing, detoxification, and Spiritual Qi recovery, a total of fifteen types! There are twenty types of Poison Pill Formulas!

"There are fifteen types of Pill Formulas for improving Cultivation! This is what suits me best!"

But Tang Tian couldn't perform Alchemy now. After a moment of excitement, Tang Tian realized the most realistic problem.

Even if he could perform Alchemy, he had no Materials.

Then there was the Blood Pill Pill Formula. The Blood Pill's effect was Breakthrough without being stuck at a Cultivation Realm.

However, refining Blood Pills couldn't use ordinary Medicine Cauldrons...

This Medicine Cauldron required Spirit Bones for its creation, which were the bones of Cultivators. The medicinal primer was the heart of a Cultivator, specifically the heart of a Qi Refining stage, 1st level Cultivator.

The Cultivator's spiritual blood served as the Pill Fire.

After refining the Blood Pill, the pill would form, the cauldron would shatter, and the blood fire would extinguish.

However, its Breakthrough effect allowed for unobstructed Cultivation Breakthroughs, and it remained effective even for those at Qi Training Ninth Level.

But Qi Training Cultivators weren't like cabbages. If you go kill Cultivators, be careful someone doesn't kill you instead...

The last item was a black dagger, already poisoned. Its pungent poisonous smell could be detected from three meters away.

It could only be kept within the Medicine Venerable Space, to be used for a surprise attack.

Tang Tian said, "These things are quite good."

Tang Tian gathered the spiritual power in his body beneath the Medicine Cauldron, transforming spiritual power into fire, but only a tiny bit of spiritual fire appeared...

Tang Tian sighed, "Alchemy is still too far away right now..."

He decided to read the "Elementary Alchemist Codex" first.

These fifty types of Medicinal Pills were enough for Tang Tian to rise.

Alchemy required Beast Fire. The fire of a Spirit Beast was stronger than spiritual power fire and could increase the success rate of pill formation.

However, Cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, 3rd level simply had no spiritual power, so mainstream Alchemy relied on Beast Fire.

Tang Tian's face showed bitterness as he said, "It seems I still need to continue cultivating with the iron pot to improve my spiritual power."

For Tang to perform Alchemy, he needed Beast Fire. And to have Beast Fire, he first needed a Spirit Beast, and then have the Spirit Beast absorb the Beast Fire.

The Spirit Beast would be equivalent to the Alchemist's Alchemy attendant. The Alchemist only needed to focus on Alchemy.

No need to manage the fire.

Yin Sha Old Man refined in this way, but he injected Beast Fire into Mortals...

Tang Tian clicked his tongue and said, "Hiss, there's even this kind of refining method..."

Beast Fire? It seemed he had seen no less than two of them on the treasure map just now.

But these were not to be coveted.

Those forces had thousands of followers.

Without Beast Fire, an Alchemist would forever remain a seventh-grade Alchemist.

Although they could perform Alchemy, refining Breakthrough Pills like Foundation Establishment Pills was simply impossible.

Injecting Beast Fire into a Spirit Beast, nurturing it, would make it an Alchemist's Alchemy attendant.

Little Leopard, who was by Tang Tian's side, came over begging for food, naturally unaware that Tang Tian was eyeing him again.

Tang Tian sighed, "Alas, Little Leopard, if only you were strong, I would directly inject Beast Fire into your body..."

Tang Tian picked up Little Leopard and said, "Oh, right, I haven't checked your gender yet."

Little Leopard was lifted high, and his little brother was exposed.

Tang Tian said, "So it's a male. I haven't given you a name yet."

Little Leopard instantly became spirited upon hearing this.

Tang Tian said, "You're pitch black, so I'll call you Tang Wuqi."

Tang Wuqi didn't know if he was satisfied, but Tang Tian went to prepare food for him.

Wuqi happily began to eat.

With no success in Alchemy for now, Tang Tian wasn't discouraged.

He picked up "Heavy Sword Technique" and began to learn...

The first Move was a bit strange.

Tang Tian read, "Use external force to forge oneself! Called <Bearing Sword Stance>? Isn't this just getting beaten up!"

He didn't know how to bear the sword, but with this Move, he might end up half-paralyzed.

The Cultivation Technique's creator even thoughtfully included a diagram of a training dummy with a whip.

He would make a dummy according to this.

He had to endure for ten minutes under ten dummies.

Each dummy was five meters tall.

No wonder this book was covered in dust, and Yin Sha Old Man hadn't practiced it either.

Building it wasn't difficult; a carpenter could build it in three days.

But that whip, it had to be full of steel barbs.

Tang Tian looked at his small physique... and decided not to be so aggressive for now...

Tang Tian, full of vigor, left the Medicine Venerable Space.

Outside, the sky was already bright. He yawned and prepared to go find the lu cao flower.

After all, he heard Tang Lu say:

"This is something Immortals use... and without a doubt, Tang Tian's father left it for him."

So he was determined to get it...

Tang Tian said, "Even those who don't Cultivate know that lu cao flower can fetch a good price. I'm already a Lian Qi Second Layer Immortal, so I must take it."

lu cao flower was essential for refining Gathering Qi Pill. One Gathering Qi Pill was worth two months of arduous Cultivation.

After getting the lu cao flower, he would deal with Great Aunt's family, and then he could go to the county.

He took out the map, which showed that the place was three days away from Tang Tian, deeper in the Tang Family Village mountain range.

Previously, killing wolves was on the outer edge of the Tang Family Village mountain range; now he was going into the interior.

There was no good road along the way... His great sword even had nicks from cutting a passable path.

Tang Zhuang had arrived by boat, but Tang Tian had no boat.

However, because he had the Medicine Venerable Space, he could return to the room in the Medicine Venerable Space to rest at night, so he wasn't dusty and travel-worn...

On the third day, Tang Tian cleaved a Yao Beast that had mistaken him for breakfast into pieces with a single sword stroke.

Tang Tian said, "It's your bad luck to provoke me. Enter my Medicine Venerable Space. The lu cao flower is just ahead. You're not a guardian Spirit Beast, are you?"

Clusters of Spiritual Plants revealed star-like flowers; these were the lu cao flower.

The wind blew, and the Spiritual Qi swayed.

Tang Tian said, "Is this the lu cao flower? Just smelling it makes me feel full of spiritual power..."

Half an acre of lu cao flower had been harvested by someone; a portion of the lu cao flower had been picked.

But it looked like this had happened five months ago.

Tang Tian felt very pained...

In these three years, Tang Zhuang had harvested at least three acres of it...

This lu cao flower growing location was in a valley, so it was very hidden, and Tang Zhuang also had time to manage them...

Tang Tian looked at the lu cao flower; the spiritual power seemed to dance before him. The more he looked, the more fragrant it seemed.

He actually started eating it.

Tang Tian said, "Mmm, tender and juicy."

Spiritual power circulated within his body, and half of the lu cao flower was eaten by Tang Tian.

lu cao flower belonged to the sixth-grade Spirit Medicine.

After eating half, the effect was very good.

Tang Tian seemed to have an epiphany and sat down cross-legged.

He immediately made a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining stage, 3rd level!

This was the effect of accumulating strength.

Along the way, a large number of Yao Beasts blocked his path and were killed by Tang Tian. Either they entered the Medicine Venerable Space, or Tang Tian ate them to replenish his Qi and blood, which also contributed to Tang Tian's Breakthrough...
