"Screw it, just stick my butt out and start shaking side to side! Can’t hurt to try!"
With that thought, Chang’sheng didn’t care anymore about dignity—if this Shaking Body and Hips move could farm experience points, then so be it. He shut the door, stuck out his ass, and began wiggling in his room.
Swift Wind Flash EXP 1!
Swift Wind Flash EXP 1!
.......
"It really does add experience points! Damn, this is so embarrassing. But hey, I can always shake in places where nobody’s watching!"
Staring at the EXP prompt on his panel, Chang’sheng’s eyes sparkled, determination set.
He imdiately pulled out Pure Yang Bursting Fla and began examining it closely.
Heading out for missions—I gotta at least get this Pure Yang Bursting Fla to entry level. And maybe I can double up and grind so extra EXP along the way.
[Pure Yang Bursting Fla (Entry 0/1000)]
[Detected cultivation immortality technique: Pure Yang Bursting Fla. You may consu 5 spirit stones to simplify it. Simplify now?]
An hour later, two prompts popped up on Chang’sheng’s interface.
"Simplify!"
Chang’sheng clicked to confirm, no hesitation.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying cultivation immortality technique Pure Yang Bursting Fla... Simplification successful... Pure Yang Bursting Fla = High Temperature Roasting]
The mont Chang’sheng confird, a red prompt flashed on his panel.
"High Temperature Roasting?"
"Wait... what?"
Chang’sheng looked at the simplified result on his panel, blinking—does tanning in the sun count as high temperature?
Chang’sheng stepped outside into the courtyard, only to find today’s sun wasn’t intense at all—actually it kept ducking behind clouds. He stood around for ages and didn’t get a single panel prompt, his brows furrowing.
"Oh! The Alchemy Room! There’s earth fire there! High heat!"
Suddenly, lightning struck in Chang’sheng’s brain—eyes lighting up imdiately.
If I sit by the earth fire furnace, shouldn’t that rack up Pure Yang Bursting Fla EXP?
"Open one up and try first?"
Chang’sheng decided—head to an alchemy room and see if the EXP trick works. If it does, even better.
With those thoughts, he locked the door and headed straight for Cloud Pill Peak.
"Opening an alchemy room can’t just be about farming Pure Yang Bursting Fla EXP—I’ve gotta actually practice alchemy while I’m at it! Might as well make the most of it!"
Chang’sheng mused to himself as he walked.
Thing is,
Renting an alchemy room costs 1 spirit stone per day—gotta maximize the profits, can’t be wasteful.
The Golden Line Python hunting mission just needs to be finished within a month anyway.
Chang’sheng planned to put that off a little longer.
......
Cloud Pill Peak.
Pill Hall, Spirit dicine Room.
There were plenty of disciples picking up elixirs and spirit dicine.
Chang’sheng stepped into the Spirit dicine Room, waited a bit—then when Li Yunyu seed free, walked up. "Hey Senior, is Alchemy Room No. 88 available?"
"You? Junior Brother Lin!"
"You’re back to alchemy again today?"
Seeing Chang’sheng, Li Yunyu looked surprised as hell. Yesterday, Elder Golden Core Ji’s direct disciple Gao Ziyue camped outside the alchemy room for several hours all for this Chang’sheng—everyone’s heard the story by now.
The whole outer sect was gossiping that the dual-spirit-rooted Gao Ziyue was into Chang’sheng.
So...
He recognized Chang’sheng in one glance.
"Yeah, I failed at alchemy yesterday, but I found the rhythm. I wanna give it one more go today! If it flops again, I’ll just focus on cultivation."
Chang’sheng replied with a faint smile.
No way was he gonna admit he aced all five pill furnaces yesterday. Even if he did, nobody would believe it.
"You..."
Hearing Chang’sheng’s words, Li Yunyu started looking at him like he was a lovable idiot with lots of cash. He rembered yesterday, Junior Lin took five sets of Spirit Storage Pill ingredients—every single batch failed. That’s 60 spirit stones down the drain!
Sixty spirit stones? You could’ve bought at least 8 Spirit Storage Pills outright!
Why go through all that pain and effort?
"Room 88’s empty. How many batches do you want today?"
Although Li Yunyu was dumbstruck, he still asked.
"I’ve only got enough spirit stones for four sets! Four’ll have to do!"
Chang’sheng showed a desperate, all-in look and slapped 48 spirit stones on the counter.
Actually,
He got 19 spirit stones off that Tiger-faced Cultivator in Jinyong City, 43 from the Southern Barbarian Immortal Master, 238 off five Demon Cultivators, and even picked up so from Qi Hui. After subtracting what he spent simplifying cultivation techniques, he still had nearly 200 spirit stones left.
In the Immortal Dao World, even in the sect, best to play poor.
You never know who might target you.
"Alright then. Here’s the badge for Alchemy Room 88. I’ll go get your ingredients—hang tight!"
Li Yunyu nodded, handed Chang’sheng the badge, and went to prep ingredients.
Soon,
Li Yunyu brought over the dicine and handed it to Chang’sheng—four sets in total. Chang’sheng grabbed the herbs and headed straight for the alchemy room.
"No way Gao Ziyue would fall for a spendthrift like that!"
"She must’ve been outside the pill room for so other reason!"
Watching Chang’sheng’s back, Li Yunyu muttered to himself.
.......
Inside Alchemy Room No. 88—
Chang’sheng popped open the earth fire cover, bam! A blast of scorching heat hit him!
The heat wave made his black hair fly wild instantly!
Pure Yang Bursting Fla EXP 1!
Pure Yang Bursting Fla EXP 1!
........
"Hmm? It works! Hell yes!"
Seeing the pop-up on his panel, Chang’sheng’s eyes lit up. He plopped down next to the pill furnace, fired it up, and began extracting spirit liquids from the herbs, starting production of Spirit Storage Pills.
Yesterday he’d already refined forty Spirit Storage Pills—plenty for himself. Today’s four batches, he planned to swap out for spirit stones at Pill Hall in smaller lots.
Hundred-year-old Reishi, Jade Juice Fruit, Red Ling Leaf, Spirit Grass... Chang’sheng tossed the ingredients into the pill furnace with expert ease, extracted the dicinal power, then set each batch aside on ceramic trays.
"Man, as I get better at this, I don’t even have to sit tightly while making pills. Why not throw in so Shaking Body and Hips while I’m at it?"
"That way I can farm both Swift Wind Flash and Pure Yang Bursting Fla EXP while churning out pills!"
With that thought, Chang’sheng stood up, hands swirling in spell motions—controlling the earth fire, ass wiggling all the while, and snuck a peek at his panel.
Swift Wind Flash EXP 1!
Swift Wind Flash EXP 1!
Pure Yang Bursting Fla EXP 1!
........
"Works like a charm!"
He scanned his panel quickly then went on refining Spirit Storage Pills.
Ding ding ding!
Soon enough—
Chang’sheng waved a hand, his spell motion covering the pill furnace, making the lid float. Ten gleaming white pills shot out, landing perfectly into the prepared ceramic tray, clinking brightly!
The whole alchemy room filled with delicious pill fragrance instantly!
"Nice! All at once—ten pills! Perfection!"
Eyeing the ten pills on the tray, savoring the scent, Chang’sheng’s face was the picture of satisfaction.
"Again!"
He started shaking again, tossing the next batch of herbs into the furnace, alchemizing away.
Ti slipped by.
Two hours later—
Four furnaces, all successful.
Except for the third batch—his extra-wide hip shaking led to only nine pills—the other three all perfected, ten pills each!
"Spent 48 spirit stones, got 39 pills. At 8 stones apiece, that’s 312 spirit stones! Take out the cost and I clear 264 spirit stones!!"
"Hell yeah!"
Chang’sheng kept on shaking his hips, gathering the Spirit Storage Pills into prepared white porcelain bottles.
"Still early—let’s go swap a few pills for so spirit stones at Pill Hall."
He packed up, took a deep breath, and opened the door to Alchemy Room 88.
"Junior Brother Lin, so fast? How’d it go?"
Li Yunyu saw Chang’sheng coming out back, instantly curious.
"Ugh, don’t ask. Total failure."
Chang’sheng just waved his hand and breezed out of the Spirit dicine Room.
"Man, this guy blows through cash..."
Li Yunyu watched Chang’sheng’s retreating back, sighing.
......
Pill Hall.
There’s the Spirit dicine Room, Elixir dicine Room, Spirit Material Room.
Chang’sheng took his freshly made Spirit Storage Pills and headed to the Elixir dicine Room. Disciples buying pills were all coming and going—he waited at the counter.
"Hey there, you’re Lin Chang’sheng, right?"
Just then, a handso senior in white—Qi Refining Seventh Layer—clasped his hands at Chang’sheng, interest in his gaze.
"That’s ! Greetings, Senior!"
Chang’sheng nodded, return-bowing. "Anything I can help with, Senior?"
"Oh nah, I’m Lin Ziying—guess that makes us clan mates. You’re getting pretty famous in the outer sect, figured I should et you!"
The white-robed senior smiled gently.
"Haha, Senior Lin is too kind!"
Chang’sheng was taken aback. He suspected his newfound fa was thanks to Gao Ziyue waiting several hours for him yesterday.
Word travels fast, especially with all the sect gossip.
Just then, outside the Elixir dicine Room—a white-clad, good-looking guy with thin lips ca in side-by-side with a chubby fellow.
"Chang’sheng, it’s really you!"
"Glad to see you’re alive, buddy!"
The chubby guy entered, saw Chang’sheng chatting with Lin Ziying, and after double-checking, lit up with joy.
"Whoa, Jin Buhuan! Didn’t expect to run into you! And you’re nearly at Qi Refining Third Layer!"
Chang’sheng was surprised to see Jin Buhuan.
He rembered Jin Buhuan from his entry tests, his wild excitent when he found out he had Gold, Water, and Wood spirit roots.
"Yup! The whole sect’s talking—so Lin Chang’sheng battled through a year and a half to reach the sect. I thought ’could that really be you?’ Turns out it was! I’m seriously glad you made it!"
Jin Buhuan tried to give him a hug, but Chang’sheng skillfully dodged and patted the chubby guy on the shoulder. "I’m living at Celestial Secret Peak—drop by soti! I’ve got stuff to handle right now."
"Celestial Secret Peak? Sure thing! I’ll co find you tomorrow!"
Jin Buhuan perked up, eyes shining.
"That’s Lin Chang’sheng, for real!"
"His cultivation’s even higher than mine!!"
anwhile, the white-robed handso youth who ca in with Jin Buhuan caught sight of Chang’sheng’s back and a sharp, dark wary look flashed in his eyes. He quietly moved away from the crowd and slipped out toward the doors, trying not to be noticed.
Jin Buhuan, noticing his companion leaving, chased after him, yelling at his retreating back, "Senior Yu, weren’t you gonna buy pills? Forgot already?"
But the white-robed youth left without even turning around.
"Jin Buhuan, you know him? Dude runs away as soon as he sees ?"
Chang’sheng eyed the disappearing back, brows knit.
Since reaching Qi Refining Sixth Layer, his perception was way sharper than before. The youth who’d co in with Jin Buhuan caught sight of Chang’sheng, instantly slunk out toward the exit. Weird.
"Oh, him? Na’s Yu Xiaochang. Strange guy, always bossing people around. What’s up?"
Jin Buhuan frowned.
"Yu Xiaochang!"
"Wait a sec—is that King Qi of Great Yu, Yu Xiaochang?"
Hearing Jin Buhuan’s reply, Chang’sheng kept his composure, but inside, killing intent flared.
That bastard had sent Situ Zhan, Zhong Ling, and over a hundred others to assassinate him just because of Yu Wenjing—heck, the guy kept sending people after him too.
If his cultivation wasn’t up to snuff, he’d be six feet under by now!
He’d never run into Yu Xiaochang before—just heard King Qi of Great Yu’s na.
If that white-robed youth was really King Qi—
He’d have to find a chance to kill him!
Only then would he truly sleep tight!
