Taking pills for the first time

This world is called the Xuantian Star Region, which is extremely vast, and the Piao Xue Region is just one of its smaller regions!

The Xuantian Star Region is a large Cultivation world with countless Cultivation Sects.

For an ordinary Family, producing a Cultivator is absolutely the greatest honor for the Family!

The White Tiger Sect is the largest second-grade Sect within a thousand miles, with Foundation Establishment Cultivators in charge, and it also has a protective Vicious Beast, a White Tiger, which also possesses Foundation Establishment strength.

Xingan City is the area protected by the White Tiger Sect, and Daan Town, which Zhou Yuan passed through earlier, is affiliated with Xingan City.

"Zhou Yuan, I see your skill is extraordinary. Are you really not considering joining my Zhao Family's guard team?"

Zhao Ming, the steward of the Zhao Family, spoke to Zhou Yuan. This was already his third attempt to persuade him.

"No need, Uncle Zhao. I'm used to being a free spirit and don't particularly wish to be restrained. We'll meet again if fate allows!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and cupped his fists at Zhao Ming, then bid a graceful farewell and departed!

Zhao Ming came to a carriage and cupped his fists to the person inside, saying, "Young Miss, I couldn't keep him!"

A sigh came from inside the carriage, followed by, "Uncle Zhao, if he can't be kept, then so be it. I suspect this person might be a Cultivator. My Zhao Family is too small; he wouldn't look favorably upon us!"

Although Zhou Yuan had already walked dozens of meters, he heard Zhao Ming and the woman's conversation clearly.

Zhou Yuan discovered that after breaking through to Qi Refining First Layer, he could generally hear conversations within a hundred meters!

The Zhao Family is a second-rate Family in Xingan City, with a Cultivator at Qi Refining stage - 2nd level within the Family, who is also the head of the Zhao Family.

However, the Zhao Family Head has a beautiful daughter, Zhao Yanyan, who caught the eye of the Eldest Young Master of the Wang Family in Xingan City, who wanted to take her back as a concubine.

The Wang Family is a first-rate Family in Xingan City, with an Old Ancestor at Qi Refining Fifth Layer in charge. This Eldest Young Master of the Wang Family also has Qi Refining First Layer cultivation.

After hearing all this, how could Zhou Yuan join the Zhao Family at this time? Wouldn't that mean going against the Wang Family?

He was just a rookie at Qi Refining First Layer; he wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth, so he decisively refused.

He didn't want to offend the Wang Family; he just wanted to Cultivate in peace and strive to Breakthrough to Qi Refining stage - 2nd level as soon as possible.

With the Bandit Plundering System, he instantly developed a strong interest in Cultivation.

Others Cultivate for one year, he Cultivates for ten years, or even a hundred years. He didn't believe that his hundred years couldn't compare to their one year.

Therefore, after arriving in Xingan City, the first thing Zhou Yuan did was go to Baiyuanfang and rent a residence.

Baiyuanfang is an area established by the White Tiger Sect, directly under the White Tiger Sect's jurisdiction. Cultivators here are protected by the White Tiger Sect!

The reason Zhou Yuan chose this place was that the entire Baiyuanfang has a Spirit Gathering Array, which gathers the surrounding spiritual energy.

The house Zhou Yuan rented was very small. He spent a hundred taels of silver to rent it for one year.

After Zhou Yuan deducted the gold and silver, he still had over a thousand taels of silver left.

The Disciple of the White Tiger Sect was very disdainful of the gold and silver; what they needed were Spirit Stones.

One Low-Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for ten taels of gold, but he couldn't even produce one!

Zhou Yuan felt extreme heartache. Indeed, scholarship is for the poor, martial arts for the rich, and Cultivation is even more formidable than a tigress! This was a bottomless pit.

After Zhou Yuan purchased a batch of food, he closed his door and immediately began to Cultivate.

The spiritual energy here was at least three times denser than that of the Piao Miao Sect. Even with Zhou Yuan's trash Spiritual Root, he could feel that his Cultivation speed was faster than before.

Zhou Yuan had originally felt pained about the gold and silver, but now that he felt he had gained something, he instantly felt it was worth it.

Zhou Yuan Cultivated for three months straight without ever leaving his door. Then he checked his System panel.

Host: Zhou Yuan

Cultivation: Qi Refining First Layer: 6/100

Lifespan: 20/161

Aptitude: Five Spiritual Roots

Luck Value: 7

Skill: Low-Tier Fireball Spell

Special Ability: None

Zhou Yuan stared at the Cultivation column. In three months, the value increased from 1 to 6, an increase of 5.

If calculated this way, he should be able to increase by 20 in one year of Cultivation. He would need about five years to Breakthrough to Qi Refining stage - 2nd level.

But the key was that he could only afford to rent for one year! If he left here, his Cultivation speed would inevitably slow down immediately, and it would take even more time!

"Bang bang!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Yuan was slightly startled; this was the first time in three months.

Zhou Yuan stood up and opened the door, only to see a young and beautiful woman standing outside.

This woman was no older than twenty, and she was very beautiful. She also had a Qi Refining First Layer aura about her.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist. I'm Wang Ling, your new neighbor, and also a First-Grade Alchemist."

"If you need to buy Medicinal Pills in the future, you can knock on my door. This Medicinal Pill is a welcome gift!"

Wang Ling smiled and placed a porcelain bottle into Zhou Yuan's hand. Her voice was as melodious as an oriole leaving its valley, very pleasant to listen to.

Zhou Yuan took the porcelain bottle from Wang Ling's hand in a daze, then calmly said, "I am Zhou Yuan. I will seek Wang Lin if I need anything in the future!"

Wang Ling nodded, then proceeded to the next house.

Zhou Yuan closed the door. He hadn't expected such a custom. When he moved in, he didn't do anything but immediately went into closed-door Cultivation.

Zhou Yuan returned to his Cultivation spot, then opened the porcelain bottle and poured out the Medicinal Pill inside. He immediately felt a burst of fragrant aroma, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated much faster.

Zhou Yuan felt that there was no need for the other party to harm a trash like him, who was only at Qi Refining First Layer, so he swallowed the Medicinal Pill without hesitation.

Upon entering his stomach, the Medicinal Pill immediately transformed into a powerful medicinal force that surged through Zhou Yuan's body, then flowed to his limbs and bones.

Zhou Yuan dared not delay and quickly circulated the Piaomiao Arts to guide this medicinal force to circulate repeatedly through his Meridians.

Two days later, the medicinal power of this Medicinal Pill was finally completely refined by Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan checked the System panel and was greatly surprised. The value in the Cultivation column had become 16/100, an increase of 10.

One must know that Zhou Yuan had only increased by 5 after three months of arduous Cultivation, but this one Medicinal Pill increased it by 10, which was equivalent to half a year of his arduous Cultivation.

"No, I must find a way to get some Medicinal Pills. Relying solely on arduous Cultivation is too slow."

Zhou Yuan immediately made up his mind and then decided to go out for a walk.

Zhou Yuan opened his door and walked out, heading straight out of Xingan City!

As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. He was preparing to beg for alms, and his target was still the Liu Family of Daan Town!

He dared not act in Xingan City; there were many Cultivators there, and with his Qi Refining First Layer cultivation, he would easily be discovered.

The Liu Family of Daan Town was a bit far, but the advantage was safety!

In Zhou Yuan's mind, safety came first; everything else had to take a back seat.

Twenty-five days later, Zhou Yuan returned to Xingan City.

Although there were some unexpected incidents during this alms-begging trip, the harvest was quite abundant. He directly took away the Liu Family's treasure vault.
