The Rise of the Shen Family

Years have passed, and a year has passed so quickly in the blink of an eye.

In one year, for mortals, it has already experienced a round of changes in the four seasons, but for cultivators like Shen Ruiling, it is just a flick of a finger.

In the past year, almost all the bookstore shopkeepers in Yunbei City have received a special customer.

This special customer looks ordinary, but his origin is mysterious. The key is that what he needs is extremely special.

He doesn't need any secrets of the practice technique or inheritance skills, he only needs to collect the ancient books that have been dated.

And like the kind of ancient books that are only two or three hundred years old, he does not accept them, but only those ancient books that were written four or five hundred years ago.

As long as the age of the ancient book meets his requirements, no matter what the contents of the book are about, the customer will buy it without hesitation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, some useless ancient books that had been stored for many years in some stores were thrown out by the shopkeepers.

For a time, the shopkeepers all made a huge profit, and everyone's face was like a happy flower.

During this year, Shen Ruiling spent most of his time studying the pills, except for the occasional visit to Siyitang to replenish the shelves with some medicinal herbs.

What he has to do is to first find some clues about "nightshade" from the ancient books he bought in this volume.

Then, based on his knowledge of spiritual medicine reserves, he deduced that the medicinal properties of this "nightshade flower" correspond to what kind of spiritual medicine is currently in the world of immortal cultivation.

After finding this elixir, if Shen Ruiling didn't have it, he would go to the market to search for this elixir.

Finally, after he spent a lot of effort to get this elixir, he still had to carry out the final step of alchemy verification.

However, when he finally completed the first few steps, this last step often ended in failure.

Over the past year, the sound of the fryer has been heard from time to time in Shen Ruiling's ground fire room, and every sound of the fryer declared the failure of his experiment.

However, although these alchemy experiments have not been successful once, for Shen Ruiling, it is not necessarily that there is no gain.

Through frequent and high-intensity alchemy in the past year, the spiritual power in Shen Ruiling's body has been fully polished.

The problem of spiritual power emptiness caused by taking snake saliva to break through before has been completely solved.

At this time, although Shen Ruiling was still at the pinnacle of the fourth floor of the foundation building, his spiritual power was much more powerful than when he had just broken through.

Shen Ruiling couldn't help but guess in his heart, judging from his current situation, he only needs to retreat for another year and a half before he can break through again!

Every time he thinks of this, Shen Ruiling can't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

Of course, this was not the happiest thing for Shen Ruiling.

For Shen Ruiling, the happiest thing now is to suddenly find that his cultivation speed has accelerated a lot.

Since Shen Ruiling's cultivation level has broken through to the fourth floor of the foundation building, he has started to practice this part of the exercises in the [San Yuan Zhuan Lei Jue] about the middle stage of foundation building.

In the early stage of foundation building, Shen Ruiling was majoring in fire-type spiritual power, while earth-type and water-type spiritual power were just minors.

But when his cultivation base broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the focus of the practice method began to change.

From the original fire-based system, supplemented by the earth-based water system, it has changed to the earth-based system, supplemented by the spiritual power of water and fire.

After a year of cultivation, Shen Ruiling discovered that the fire and earth spiritual roots in his body had begun to show signs of blending.

Even his own spiritual power of these two attributes began to become more and more friendly, which caused his cultivation speed to be much faster than when he was in the initial stage of foundation building.

If it was said that he could only refine one strand of spiritual power into his body in the time of a stick of incense, then now he can refine at least another half strand.

Although the half-wisp of spiritual power is insignificant when viewed individually, when countless half-wisps of spiritual power are gathered together, it is an unimaginable and majestic spiritual power.

Originally, after Shen Ruiling practiced the [Three-Yuan Zhuanzhuan Jue], his training speed was almost on par with that of an ordinary cultivator with double spiritual root qualifications.

Now, due to the fusion of the two attributes of earth and fire, the speed of his refining spiritual power has been improved again, and he has faintly surpassed the average double-spiritual cultivator.

After discovering this phenomenon, Shen Ruiling's face immediately showed a shocked expression, and he couldn't believe it was real, thinking it was just his own illusion.

But after he took over again and again, Shen Ruiling was sure that all of this really happened in his body!

For a time, not to mention how excited Shen Ruiling was, tears of excitement poured out of his eyes.

The acceleration of cultivation speed will be a fundamental change for the monk, which means that he can go further in the future.

After a brief shock, Shen Ruiling began to think seriously.

He could be sure that all these changes were caused by the practice of the [Three-Yuan Zhuan Lei Jue].

Thinking that when he chose to practice this practice, he was holding a tentative attitude, ready to take a step by step, and he didn't have much confidence in the change of the spiritual root in the last step.

But it is different now. There are various signs that the possibility of this spiritual root fusion exists.

So after thinking about this, Shen Ruiling's heart immediately became excited, and at the same time, a belief to move forward quietly rose in his heart.

Now that he already knew that this [Three Yuan Zhuan Lei Jue] was likely to succeed, he must give it a try, and forge a bright path for himself in the future!

...

On this day, in the dim fire room, Shen Ruiling once again started his alchemy experiment.

This time, the spiritual medicine he chose to use as a medicine, although it was only a second-order high-grade spiritual plant, was also extremely rare.

Shen Ruiling searched most of Yunbei City but couldn't find it, and finally got it from the Song family based on Shen Ruiling's relationship.

With the input of each spiritual medicine, Shen Ruiling's face began to show the same look of anticipation as before.

Although the past year has been a failure, Shen Ruiling has not given up, and it is still difficult for him to re-study this pill.

As time passed, Shen Ruiling's eyes gradually began to flash with a look of joy.

The alchemy this time actually continued to the stage of condensing alchemy. You must know that so many trials before this have all failed in the impurity removal stage.

Feeling the violent vibration of the elixir furnace, and realizing that the elixir in the furnace was slowly taking shape, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but feel nervous.

While waiting anxiously, time passed unknowingly.

With a small muffled sound, this alchemy was finally over.

This time, no black smoke came out after the alchemy was finished, which obviously meant that the medicinal pill had been successfully refined.

Holding on to his excitement, Shen Ruiling lifted the lid of the furnace and held a purple elixir in his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Ruiling scraped some powder from the medicinal pill, treated it with an alchemist's special technique, and then slowly put it into his mouth.

As the medicinal effects of those powders began to take effect gradually, the joy on Shen Ruiling's face became more intense.

Although he didn't know if he had restored the complete pill recipe, at least the effect of this kind of elixir is still good.

Just when Shen Ruiling was about to try the efficacy of this elixir again, the ground fire room where he was sitting suddenly began to shake violently.

Even the ground fire that was sealed began to become irritable, as if it was about to break through the seal.

"What happened?"

Shen Ruiling couldn't help but be terrified.
