I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Li Xiuchang and Wang Long discussed and thought this was feasible, so they immediately started to prepare.

Wang Long first sent Li Xiuchang to the market, and then the two of them split up. Li Xiuchang went to purchase raw materials such as spirit meat, and Wang Long went to recruit people and rent furnaces and magic tools.

Before leaving, Wang Long hesitated and said, "Junior brother, can you lend me some spirit stones for a while..."

He felt ashamed when he said this, as an old disciple actually asked a newcomer to borrow spirit stones.

Li Xiuchang saw Wang Long's embarrassment and nodded, "Renting a furnace and recruiting people require spirit stones, which should be paid by me."

After that, he took out a handful of spirit stones from his pocket and asked, "Is twenty enough?"

"It won't take that much, five is enough, and I still have a few spirit stones on me."

Li Xiuchang also needed a lot of spirit stones to purchase raw materials, so he counted out ten and handed them to Wang Long.

Wang Long sighed, "Thank you, junior brother. It's not that I don't want to pay for the spirit stones, but..."

"Brother, you don't need to explain, I understand." Li Xiuchang interrupted.

The internal competition among talisman masters is serious. Although the price of raw materials such as first-level talisman paper is low, the price of first-level talismans is also low, and the supply exceeds the demand, making it difficult to sell.

Only first-level talisman masters with a success rate of more than 80% can make a small profit. For those with a success rate of less than 80%, every successful talisman drawing is a loss.

And the first-level peak talisman masters like Wang Long are the most difficult. If they want to impact the second-level talisman master, they must practice with second-level talismans. The key is that the price of second-level talisman raw materials is not cheap...

The spirit stones he received from the sect every month, plus the remuneration for accepting new disciples, were used to buy second-level talisman materials for practice as soon as they were issued. He was reluctant to use spirit stones even for daily practice.

Li Xiuchang watched Wang Long leave, and then turned to enter the market.

This time he directly purchased a full thirty spirit stones of various spirit beast meats.

Beef, pork, venison, etc.

Because he purchased a lot, Li Xiuchang naturally bargained, and the final price was the same as last time, but the store gave him various auxiliary materials such as spiritual salt, which saved Li Xiuchang a few spiritual stones.

With only thirteen spiritual stones left in his pocket, Li Xiuchang went to a store that specializes in selling spiritual plants to have a look.

There are thousands of spiritual plants in the world, various spiritual herbs, spiritual trees, spiritual flowers and spiritual fruits, each with its own effects and functions.

Not all spiritual plants can be used to make pills. Some spiritual fruits are only suitable for direct consumption, some spiritual trees are suitable for making flying swords and magic weapons, some spiritual herbs are suitable for making talisman paper, and some are suitable for making poisons...

But there are always some spiritual plants, like some people, that are useless.

However, these spiritual plants that can't do anything have an advantage, which is cheap.

This type of spiritual plant is called "waste spiritual plant", and their price is much lower than other spiritual plants of the same level.

Even waste spiritual plants contain wood attribute spiritual power, which can be used to practice some wood attribute skills, or as auxiliary materials for formations.

Li Xiuchang's goal was these useless spiritual plants. He planned to buy some and try to see if they could help him practice the "Fire-burning Skill".

In the end, Li Xiuchang chose a piece of first-level spiritual wood. There was no other reason, just because the spiritual wood was large and contained abundant wood-attribute spiritual power.

"Boss, how much is this rotten wood?"

"That's first-level spiritual paulownia wood, thirteen spiritual stones."

Li Xiuchang even suspected that the boss had a perspective eye and knew that he only had thirteen spiritual stones left.

"Waste spiritual plants are so expensive!"

"There are no waste spiritual plants, only spiritual plants that have not been used yet. If you buy them back, maybe they will appreciate in value one day."

Believe you!

Li Xiuchang curled his lips: "Five spiritual stones."

The boss also curled his lips and said arrogantly: "Five is five!"

The two straightforward people made a deal so straightforwardly.

With only eight spirit stones left in his pocket, Li Xiuchang walked around various high-end stores with his head held high. He gained some knowledge for free and returned to the stall area with satisfaction. Finally, he found a small piece of monster meat at a stall of a casual cultivator.

"This is the meat of a first-level rabbit monster. This is all that is left. If you want it, it will be two spirit stones." The stall owner said while picking his teeth.

Although there was only a small piece of meat left, it was genuine first-level monster meat after all. Two spirit stones were not expensive, and even a bit cheap.

However, Li Xiuchang could smell the fishy smell on the meat from two meters away, and he knew that this was probably not rabbit monster meat.

It might be the meat of unpopular monsters such as rat monsters. These monster meats were mainly because of bad taste or bad smell, so they could not be sold at a high price.

Li Xiuchang didn't mind. He originally took it back to practice and see if his charcoal attribute magic power could smoke first-level monster meat.

After a lot of bargaining, he finally got the monster meat for one spirit stone.

At this point, Li Xiuchang's procurement plan was completed, and he ran outside the market, waiting for Wang Long to pick him up.

…

"Junior brother, I have arranged all the manpower and furnace magic tools!" Wang Long said excitedly, full of energy, "I have already quit the job at the reception office."

Li Xiuchang was very satisfied with Brother Wang Long's efficiency, and felt that he had found the right person, so he immediately followed Wang Long back to the inner gate.

"I rented a total of thirty low-grade magic furnaces and hired three first-level talisman masters, each of whom was in the late stage of Qi training. One person can easily keep ten furnaces running at the same time!"

"I only rented thirty furnaces for a month, a total of three spirit stones, and I can continue to use them later."

"Three talisman masters, each of whom can give one spirit stone per day."

"So where is the venue?"

Li Xiuchang thought for a few breaths and said, "Why don't we stay at my residence in Donggeng District? There are few people there and it's quiet."

"Okay, then I'll send you back first, and I'll take the three guys there later."

"Don't worry, wait until tomorrow, the spirit meat will take another day to marinate."

"Okay."

Wang Long sent Li Xiuchang back to Donggeng District, handed all the 30 furnaces he rented to Li Xiuchang, and left.

Li Xiuchang returned to his residence and divided the 30 furnaces into three groups, arranging them in a circle of ten.

He took out the spirit meat he had just bought and started marinating it.

The amount of spirit meat he bought this time was large, and Li Xiuchang took a long time to marinate it.

During this process, Li Xiuchang's length value was also slowly increasing. Marinating spirit meat is also a part of practicing spirit cooking skills.

Li Xiuchang also marinated the first-level monster meat.

When everything was done, Li Xiuchang took a rest while taking out the book "The Beginning of Alchemy" and began to read it carefully.

This book has annotations for difficult parts, so it is easy to understand. You just need to stop and think from time to time.

His mind gradually sank into it, ignoring the passage of time.

He was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Li Xiuchang looked up and found that it was already noon the next day.

He heard the voice of Senior Brother Wang Long outside the courtyard gate, opened the door, and saw Senior Brother Wang Long, who looked excited, and three talisman masters behind him.

One of them was a familiar face.
