The Avenue Bookstore.

Just like yesterday, Zhang Youwei sat on the floor with his hands raised, practicing the basics of spiritual energy circulation.

What was different from yesterday was that there was an additional person opposite him.

That was Xu Pingqiu.

After paying the 30 million tutoring fee, Xu Pingqiu successfully obtained the qualification to cultivate here.

It had to be said that this person was more perceptive than Zhang Youwei, and he learned at a much faster pace than Zhang Youwei.

Luo Xiu glanced at him.

Perhaps in just one day’s time, Xu Pingqiu would be able to catch up to Zhang Youwei even though he started later than Zhang Youwei.

Seeing that the two of them had steadily entered the state of cultivation, Luo Xiu finally had time to check his reward.

That’s right, after selling an immortal cultivation technique, [Lightning Controlling Technique for Beginners], Luo Xiu once again received a reward from the immortal cultivation popularization system:

[Avenue Alchemy]!

Seeing this reward, even Luo Xiu couldn’t help but start nodding his head.

This was indeed a rare treasure.

In the original immortal cultivation world, although the world had an abundance of spiritual energy and was very suitable for cultivation, medicinal pills were very scarce. They could even be said to have been lost for a time.

No matter how hard Luo Xiu searched the entire world, he could not find any complete alchemy book. At most, he could only find some incomplete documents.

Medicinal pills were simply an indispensable treasure for immortal cultivators!

With medicinal pills to stabilize the meridians, improve their internal energy, and strengthen their physique, the speed of ordinary people’s cultivation would increase exponentially.

Of course, even without medicinal pills, it would not be a big deal in the immortal cultivation world. At most, it would only require more extraordinary talent and a longer cultivation time.

Otherwise, Luo Xiu wouldn’t have the cultivation mastery that he had today.

However, in this world, having medicinal pills would make a huge difference!

After all, the spiritual energy in this world was very thin and very scarce.

At present, only Zhang Youwei and Xu Pingqiu had officially started to cultivate. Moreover, neither of them had begun to learn the authentic immortal cultivation technique. They were only learning the basics of spiritual energy circulation.

For the time being, the spiritual energy in this world was enough. At least, there was no need to worry.

What about in the future? Not to mention that Xu Pingqiu could immediately start to cultivate the lightning controlling technique.

If more people joined the ranks of immortal cultivators, would the spiritual energy in this world be enough?

At this time, the importance of medicinal pills would come into play!

Of course, even for ordinary people who did not cultivate immortality, some medicinal pills were also a very good supplement for them. At the very least, they could strengthen the body and prolong life. Some diseases could even be cured on the spot.

If these pills were used in a huge auction, not only could they attract a large number of people to join the immortal cultivators, but they could also collect a large sum of money for other uses!

Therefore, Luo Xiu had already begun to consider alchemizing medicinal pills.

The earlier this is done, the better.

Luo Xiu still had to go to Qi Mountain to subdue demons in six days. Perhaps these pills could be of great use then!

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu immediately closed his eyes and entered his sea of consciousness.

The so-called sea of consciousness was where consciousness and spiritual energy combined. The sea of consciousness was not in the brain but in the dantian!

If the size of Zhang Youwei’s sea of consciousness was akin to a bathtub, then Luo Xiu’s sea of consciousness was the Milky Way!

In this vast and boundless sea of consciousness, Luo Xiu’s consciousness took the shape of a human. In front of him floated a huge bronze cauldron, and it was spinning slightly in the air.

This was the Avenue Alchemy!

There was no need for real tools, nor did he need real materials. He only needed to use the spiritual energy in his consciousness to urge the huge cauldron to alchemize pills.

As for the effects and the quality of the medicinal pills, that would depend on whether the alchemist’s spiritual energy was sufficiently strong and pure and whether he was proficient in using the Avenue Alchemy technique.

Fortunately, cultivation was what Luo Xiu was best at. In addition, this Avenue Alchemy was a reward given by the Immortal Cultivation Popularization System. It was full of essentials, so it was not difficult for Luo Xiu to understand.

Facing the giant bronze cauldron, Luo Xiu reached out to touch it and slowly closed his eyes.

“The Avenue Alchemy gathers the essence of heaven and earth and the spirit of mankind. Extract the essence and the spirit, crystalize it into form, and condense it into a pill.”

The next moment, Luo Xiu opened his eyes and took two steps back!

The hand that was raised in front of the giant bronze cauldron began to transfer a large amount of spiritual power into the cauldron.

Then, the giant bronze cauldron began to rotate rapidly, and the temperature in the entire cauldron seemed to be rising rapidly.

Then, the entire sea of consciousness seemed to be churning.

The sky and earth changed color, and the fierce wind did not stop. The sea of consciousness stirred up turbulent waves as if it wanted to drown the entire world, but a large amount of it surged into the giant cauldron.

This sea was Luo Xiu’s spiritual power!

And this spiritual power was now turning into medicinal ingredients, alchemized in this giant bronze cauldron!

…

In the Avenue Bookstore.

Zhang Youwei’s arm had already begun to tremble slightly.

Although he had already become an immortal cultivator, his poor physique was his weakness. Before long, he began to feel tired.

He quietly opened his eyes, wanting to see how his brother, Xu Pingqiu, was doing.

However, he discovered that Xu Pingqiu’s arms were raised in front of him, not moving at all, not even the slightest bit of trembling. His expression was also incredibly calm, like the deepest ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

Zhang Youwei could see that Xu Pingqiu had completely entered the state of cultivation at this time, with no distractions in his mind!

Zhang Youwei felt a little indignant. He had clearly started cultivating first, so how could Old Xu progress so much faster than him? He thought of the scene where Xu Pingqiu had just opened the book.

It seemed that Xu Pingqiu’s aptitude was indeed much better than his. Compared to him, perhaps Old Xu was the more suitable talent for cultivation!

He wanted to raise his eyes to look at Luo Xiu to make sure that he wasn’t watching. He found that Luo Xiu’s eyes were closed as if he didn’t notice him.

Then, he tried to put his hands down gently, wanting to slack off.

Still, no one noticed him.

Whether it was Xu Pingqiu or Luo Xiu, they seemed to be focusing all their attention on their own things.

Zhang Youwei swallowed his saliva, quietly stood up, and tiptoed toward the immortal cultivation technique section.

Then, he reached out to the bookshelf and pulled out the books one by one. Then, he tried to open them one by one.

That’s right. Zhang Youwei was not trying to steal anything. Although the items in this bookstore were very expensive, Zhang Youwei could still afford them. There was no need to do such a petty thing to offend Luo Xiu.

He just felt wanted to try and see if there was a cultivation technique that suited him. If he could really open a book, even if there was only one, he would feel much better.

If Old Xu can cultivate techniques, I can definitely do the same!

There were so many cultivation technique books in the immortal cultivation technique section. All of them were written by Luo Xiu himself.

Zhang Youwei spent half an hour trying to open all the books, one by one.

His expression was grim because none of them were suitable for him!

“How is this possible? Am I really not suitable for cultivation? I…” The dream in Zhang Youwei’s heart shattered.

Initially, he just wanted to try and see if immortal cultivation could save his life.

After confirming that immortal cultivation was real, Zhang Youwei’s attitude changed.

If Luo Xiu said that he could save him, then Luo Xiu must be able to save him. What he was more concerned about now was whether he could be like the immortal cultivator in the legends, riding a sword to fly to the immortal realm and vanquishing demons and devils.

Now, he knew. He couldn’t.

“After all, I can’t practice cultivation techniques?” Zhang Youwei muttered to himself dejectedly.

At this moment, Luo Xiu’s voice came from behind, “Did I say that you definitely can’t practice cultivation techniques?”
