Research-Style Cultivation, Starting by Refusing to Be a Furnace – Chapter 26

Ch 26: Exploitation, Awakening

After half a month, Wei Xing appeared at the Trading Pavilion with a hundred Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills.

Only to see Wei Xing throw the pills in his hand and stand aside, saying, “Here, this is a hundred Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills, ten contribution points.” After Wei Xing finished speaking, he handed over his identity jade token. This identity jade token did not have detailed information, but only judged which Peak disciple he was based on the jade token pattern.

The Official looked at Wei Xing in surprise: “It’s only been half a month, and you’ve finished refining a hundred Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills!”.

“If the Official doesn’t believe me, you can count them yourself,” Wei Xing said a little impatiently. He just wanted to get his contribution points now.

Only to see that young disciple Official, toss them in his hand, opened the jade bottles one by one, and was even more shocked on the spot: “This… these are all Middle-Grade Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills, and there are even a few Superior Grade!”.

“Can you give me the contribution points now?” Wei Xing continued to urge.

The young Official transferred the contribution points to Wei Xing’s identity jade token, looked at Wei Xing’s back, and muttered in place: “This Dan Peak disciple is really shocking! But always wearing a veil, what a weirdo.”

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Wei Xing return and said, “Official, that cultivation method can be exchanged. I want to ask how many contribution points that Weapon Refinement Technique requires?”.

After being stopped, the Official turned around and held out a finger, saying, “One hundred contribution points.”

“What! So expensive! Refining a hundred Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills only gets ten contribution points, and this cultivation method costs a hundred contribution points. Isn’t this blatant exploitation!” Wei Xing subconsciously complained after hearing the reply.

“Boy, what do you know? Cultivation methods are the most expensive. Don’t think it’s expensive, but it might save your life at a critical moment!” The young man’s slender and loud voice came.

Wei Xing felt a little uncomfortable listening to it, and thought to himself: “This voice is no different from that eunuch.”

Only to see Wei Xing turn around and walk towards the mission board, and in the Official’s shocked gaze, he “slapped, slapped, slapped” his identity jade token on the three basic pills of Qi and Blood Replenishment Pill, Spirit Returning Pill, and Essence Replenishing Pill.

Then, blinking his eyes, he said to the Official: “I’ll take all of these. Last time I saw that Qi and Blood Replenishment Pill, it said there was no limit, does that mean I can get ten contribution points for every hundred pills I refine?”.

The Official had his eyes opened to this kid in front of him and nodded.

“Then give me a thousand portions of Qi and Blood Replenishment Pill materials,” Wei Xing reached out to the Official.

“What!” Only to see the young Official’s mouth wide open, his eyes staring unblinkingly at Wei Xing, as if he were looking at some monster.

“What’s wrong, can’t I?” Wei Xing scratched his head, a little puzzled, seeing the Official’s reaction.

The young Official straightened his clothes, coughed twice, trying to ease the embarrassment, and then said: “Boy, it’s not that I won’t give it to you, it’s just that no one has ever taken missions like this before. Even if I wanted to give you the mission, there aren’t that many materials in this pavilion for you right now. There are only eight hundred portions left.”

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Wei Xing continued: “Okay, give me all eight hundred portions.”

Dan Peak, halfway up the mountain, inside the cave abode.

Wei Xing looked at the materials piled up in the entire pill refining room in front of him, and was a little excited: “After refining all of these, plus the previous ten contribution points, I can just gather enough one hundred and ten contribution points, enough to exchange for that Weapon Refinement Technique.”

“With my current cultivation level, I’ve only just entered the Dao Breath, which is only a little stronger than an ordinary martial artist. Facing that stinky woman who is probably at the Qi Refining Stage, I don’t know when I’ll be able to catch up. I should master the Weapon Refinement Technique as soon as possible and refine some weapons.”

Wei Xing was under a lot of pressure facing unknown enemies, especially if he were to cultivate to the Qi Refining Stage step by step, he didn’t know how long it would take. Before that, if that woman in purple came to pick him, he would definitely die!

“Since I can’t beat you by following the cultivation rules of your world, why should I follow this rule?” This was what Wei Xing suddenly realized when he saw the Weapon Refinement Technique when he left Central Peak.

“Use the advantages I have mastered to screw her over.” Wei Xing had a huge plan quietly brewing in his heart.

He wants to refine weapons! Combining his experience as a master of weapon launch engineering in his previous life, he wants to refine weapons! Refine some hot weapons!

“Since you don’t want me to get on the table to eat, then I’ll flip the table over, and no one will eat!” Wei Xing suddenly felt that there was a path, a Great Dao to help him escape death, placed in front of him!

Wei Xing had already imagined the scene of himself holding a hot weapon and strafing those stinky women who wanted his life.

“No need to say anything, let’s get to work!”

Wei Xing began to refine Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills day and night. When his Spiritual Power was exhausted, he would absorb and recover it. After recovering, he would continue to devote himself to refining pills. Now Wei Xing had figured it out. His pill refining was only temporary. Pill refining was only to accumulate capital to refine weapons. The ultimate goal was to refine weapons. Perhaps only weapon refinement could help him turn the tables against the wind!

It’s just that Wei Xing didn’t expect that while he was immersed in connecting to the Earth Fire to refine pills day and night, the other fellow disciples were all curious about one thing, that is, the fire and heat of the Earth Fire had weakened a lot recently, which led to the failure of several furnaces of their pills.

For this reason, Dan Qi also made a special trip to check the Earth Fire to see if there was any problem, but ultimately found nothing.

Three days later, halfway up the mountain.

“Ninth Junior Brother, are you in the cave abode?” Dan Qi shouted at the entrance of Wei Xing’s cave abode.

No one responded.

“Ninth Junior Brother, are you in the cave abode?” Dan Qi increased his volume again.

This woke Wei Xing, who was immersed in refining pills in the pill refining room.

“Coming,” Wei Xing hurriedly stopped his Spiritual Power. Just as Wei Xing stopped the operation of the Pill Fire, a “crack” sound came from inside the pill furnace. Wei Xing already knew that this furnace of pills was ruined, and hurriedly dispersed the smell.

“Coming,” Wei Xing opened the courtyard gate.

“Xiao Jiu, what are you doing? I’ve been calling you for a long time and you didn’t say anything,” Dan Qi asked.

Wei Xing scratched his head, pretending to be confused, and said, “So it’s Seventh Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, I was asleep. I was still in a dream just now, and I heard someone calling me, so I woke up. When I took a look, it was Seventh Senior Brother, hehe.”

After speaking, Wei Xing also pretended to yawn twice.

Dan Qi couldn’t help but say a few words when he saw Wei Xing’s appearance: “You, you, put your mind on cultivation earlier, and enter the Dao Breath as soon as possible. It’s already noon, and you’re still sleeping. Have you forgotten what Senior Brother taught you?”.

“No, no, Xiao Jiu knows he’s wrong. I will definitely work hard next time and live up to Seventh Senior Brother’s expectations and strive to enter the Dao Breath as soon as possible,” Wei Xing vowed.

Dan Qi heard Wei Xing’s guarantee, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Speaking of cultivation, how have you been feeling recently? If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me.”

As soon as Wei Xing heard this, he hurriedly wanted to divert Dan Qi’s attention: “Seventh Senior Brother, there really is something, it’s just that I can’t always comprehend it recently. I can already vaguely feel a little bit of the feeling of Spiritual Energy surrounding me that is said in the book.”

Dan Qi began to teach Wei Xing the method of comprehension from the beginning.

An hour later, Dan Qi was about to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Wei Xing: “Xiao Jiu, I came today just to see you and tell you that the Earth Fire has been unstable recently. Be careful recently and don’t get close to the pill refining room. If an explosion occurs, don’t get hurt. Remember!”.

Wei Xing nodded vigorously, looking at Dan Qi’s departing back. Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of Wei Xing’s eyes. In this crisis-ridden world, only Seventh Senior Brother had always been so good to him, without asking for anything in return, which made him feel the warmth of a brother for the first time.

“Seventh Senior Brother, you don’t have to be so good to me. This way, I won’t owe anything to this world.” Wei Xing’s moist eyes, with snot bubbles flowing, muttered as he looked at the faint back in the distance.
