Keeping a low profile in the world of cultivating immortals

While Wu Tao was having breakfast, Chen Yao came over and said mysteriously: "Brother, let me tell you good news.

After saying that, she blinked her big black eyes a few times.

Wu Tao chewed the monster meat and said warmly: "What's the good news? Oh, you have broken through the third level of Qi refining!"

When Chen Yao heard this, she suddenly said gloomily: "Brother, you have guessed everything. I originally said I would give you a surprise."

Wu Tao smiled and said, "You forgot, it was you who told me last time that you were about to break through the third level of Qi Refining."

Chen Yao is twenty years old this year. A twenty-year-old at the third level of Qi Refining is considered rare among casual cultivators.

But in fact, the talent is not particularly shocking. The reason why Chen Yao was able to reach the third level of Qi training at the age of twenty is because she has a good father who used pills to practice from the beginning.

As for the more general casual cultivators, just like Wu Tao before, even using spiritual stones to practice is a luxury. They can only absorb the thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth for practice, and their progress is extremely slow.

Hearing this, Chen Yao frowned and thought for a moment, then said with regret, "I planned to tell senior brother after I broke through last time, why did I tell you in advance... eh..."

Wu Tao found it funny and wanted to reach out and touch Chen Yao's head, but after thinking about it, this Konoha habit had to be changed, so he calmly put down his hand and said: "To celebrate, we will take a half-day break tomorrow, and senior brother will accompany you. Going shopping in Fangshi?"

"Really? Will dad agree?" Chen Yao became excited.

Wu Tao patted his chest and assured her: "Master, leave it to me.

"Brother, you are great! I want to buy a lot of things, but I never have time to go..." Chen Yao looked happy. Since opening the shop, although it has been easier than her previous experience in the Talisman Workshop, she still has a lot of fun. Working hours are relatively flexible, and you may not even get a day off in a month.

Chen Yao has been under the protection of Chen Shan since she was a child. She has never experienced the hardships of low-level casual cultivators, so she has developed such a cheerful temperament.

After breakfast, Wu Tao went to the weapon refining room and learned weapon refining from Chen Shan.

During this time, Chen Shan began to teach him the secrets of refining Jin Mingjian.

After Chen Shan finished explaining, Wu Tao said with a smile: "Master, let's take a half-day break at noon tomorrow. From the time we opened the store to now, except for the time when Jie Xiu listened to it, we have never closed. Junior Sister A Yao was stifled. I want to go out and relax."

"She has broken through the third level of Qi refining, which is just a reward for him."

Chen Shan said: "Okay, let's take a half day off tomorrow. But I won't go."

Wu Tao invited: "Master, how about you come too?"

Chen Shan waved his hand and said: "You young people go to play, why am I, a bad old man, joining in the fun? Let's take Ayao to play tomorrow."

"Fine!"

If the master doesn't go, he can't force the old man.

…

In the afternoon, in the training room.

Wu Tao took out the "Bone Transformation Technique" and prepared to start practicing.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, opened the blue cover, and began to read the cultivation techniques carefully.

In this bone-transfer and body-transformation technique, you first need to be able to transfer the bones, which can change the body shape and height, and then the body-transformation, adjusting the position of the muscles, to achieve the effect of changing the face.

What matters most is the final breath of change.

This involves the circulation route of spiritual energy, which is supported by special secret techniques.

It is mentioned in the secret book that when you first practice bone transplantation, you must use bone-strengthening elixirs to assist your practice. You must take bone-strengthening elixirs for two years in a row. Only when the bones have grown to a certain level can you start practicing bone transplantation. Otherwise, Bones break easily.

"Two years of bone-strengthening elixirs? Isn't this... too long? And it also costs spiritual stones?"

"I have already practiced the Dragon Spear Body Tempering Technique. My flesh, tendons, and bones have all been tempered. The bone transfer technique should be for those with brittle skin.

My bones are no longer weaker than those of monster beasts. I shouldn’t need to take bone-strengthening pills and can just practice cultivation right? Try it first, and if it doesn't work, stop immediately. "

Wu Tao wanted to understand this and planned to give this bone transplantation a preliminary try.

Putting down the secret book, Wu Tao stood up and silently recited the bone transfer technique in his heart. The spiritual energy in his Dantian began to flow and poured into the bones of his body. Then, Wu Tao's body made a crunching sound.

His height increased by five inches with the operation of the bone transfer technique.

"Sure enough, you don't need to take bone-strengthening pills."

Wu Tao stopped and continued to lift his body, with a happy face on his face.

"This bone-transfer and shape-changing technique is completely tailor-made for body cultivation."

Wu Tao was extremely happy after saving two years of time and two years of bone-strengthening elixirs.

"Senior brother, Daoyou Gu and his wife are here. They said they came to see you specifically. Hey, senior brother, you seem to have grown taller?"

Chen Yao opened the door of the training room at this time and looked at Wu Tao with a puzzled look on his face.

Wu Tao heard this and said happily: "Gu Daoyou and his wife are here?"

The first thought in his mind was, is there any news about the life-extending elixir? Or do you want to ask him to repair the magic weapon again?

He was thinking in his mind, but he did not forget to quietly remove the bone-transformation technique, return to his original size, and said: "Ayao, you are wrong."

Chen Yao wiped her eyes, looked again, and muttered: "I was really wrong. I thought senior brother could still grow taller at his age."

"Okay, don't think that senior brother doesn't know that you are talking about senior brother!" Wu Tao felt helpless and pushed Chen Yao to the lobby.

Chen Yao smiled at him.

Wu Tao came to the lobby, with a smile on his face, and greeted Gu Mingsheng and his wife: "Fellow Daoist Gu, Fellow Daoist Li, I've been waiting for you two!" Then he glanced at a casual cultivator next to Gu Mingsheng and asked, "I don't know. Who is this fellow Taoist?"

Gu Mingsheng took a step forward and introduced to Wu Tao: "Master Li, this is my good friend, Fellow Taoist Chen Quanshou."

Chen Quanshou cupped his hands and said, "Chen has met Master Li."

"I have met Daoist Fellow Chen." Since it was Gu Mingsheng who introduced him, Wu Tao believed in Gu Mingsheng's character. This Chen Quanshou must also be a casual cultivator with excellent character like Gu Mingsheng.

Therefore, he also greeted warmly.

Seeing Wu Tao's happy face, Gu Mingsheng smiled coquettishly and said, "Master Li, the reason why you came here this time is not because there is news about the life-extending elixir, but because Fellow Daoist Chen has something to do and wants to ask Master Li for help."

When Wu Tao heard this, he felt a little disappointed, but the smile on his face did not go away. This life-extending elixir was something that was rarely found in times of need. If he got the news so easily, Wu Tao himself would not believe it.

But are you here for Chen Quanshou?

Help?

I am a weapon refiner and I don’t know how to fight. If I ask for help, there is only one possibility. Is it for the magic weapon?

After all, it was Gu Mingsheng who introduced him. Wu Tao knew Gu Mingsheng, and relied on Gu Mingsheng to obtain the information about the life-extending elixir. Gu Mingsheng's move was also a guarantee.

As long as his life is not involved and he is not put in danger, Wu Tao will still sell this favor to Gu Mingsheng.

Therefore, he said with a hearty smile: "Daoyou Chen is my friend, Daoyou Gu, and that is my good friend. You don't have to take it into account, Daoyou Chen. If you have anything to say, just say it. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."

This was said so comprehensively that no one could fault it, and the other party felt happy after hearing it.

That's how it is with the world.
