On the bed, Niubi sat cross-legged. With each inhalation and exhalation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gently surrounded him. Whenever the spiritual energy circled to Niubi's forehead, there would be a faint suction force that gently pulled the spiritual energy, seemingly wanting to draw it into his body.

But for some reason, whenever the spiritual energy was about to enter Niubi's body, the suction force seemed to suddenly lose its strength, causing the spiritual energy to disperse.

"Hu." Niubi slowly opened his eyes, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. After a night of cultivation, there was not the slightest increase in the spiritual energy within his body. It seemed that trying to cultivate through the spiritual root was undoubtedly a fantasy.

Niubi smiled wryly and shook his head. He got up from the bed, moved his somewhat stiff limbs, and pushed the door open.

In the in the early morning, many people had already walked out of their rooms and were bathing in the morning sun.

Niubi did not delay. After going out, he directly headed towards Yang Zhengyu's room.

"Bang bang bang." Three crisp knocking sounds slowly rang out, and a familiar voice came from within the room.

"Niubi? Come in!"

Hearing Yang Zhengyu's voice, Niubi pushed the door and entered. He saw Yang Zhengyu sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at him with a slight smile in his eyes.

"Pretty early. Why didn't you rest a little longer?"

Niubi smiled without saying a word. He slowly walked to a wooden chair in front of the table and sat down.

Yang Zhengyu was slightly surprised. Then, with some suspicion, he looked at Niubi carefully again. After a while, Yang Zhengyu chuckled.

"You lad, did you take the wrong medicine? Why have you been so strange recently!"

Niubi spread out his hands and said somewhat helplessly, "Nothing. I just figured out some things. Well, what task are you going to arrange for me today?"

When it came to tasks, Yang Zhengyu became energetic and said somewhat smugly, "Of course, it's relatively easy. The pill room is recently short of a person to count the waste pills. I'm planning to send you there."

Niubi nodded and thought deeply. Yang Zhengyu was really good to him. Counting waste pills in the pill room could be said to be an easy job, and there was also some benefit to it. Just count the number of waste pills for the day every night. This kind of job, in the, was something that many people were fighting to do. He didn't know how much effort this guy had spent to fight for this job for him.

Niubi was grateful for Yang Zhengyu's kindness in his heart. But with just this amount of work, it was just a drop in the bucket for improving his strength.

"Zhengyu, can you arrange more work for me? I urgently need a lot of work." After hesitating for a moment, Niubi still expressed his thoughts.

Yang Zhengyu was stunned. Even if he thought a thousand times and ten thousand times, he never expected that Niubi would have such a self-abusive request. He looked at Niubi in surprise and asked incredulously.

"Are you saying that you want more tasks?"

Niubi smiled wryly and nodded. He could understand the surprise in his friend's heart now, but he had no choice. If he wanted to improve his strength and not be stepped on by others, he had to improve rapidly.

Compared to physical exhaustion, Niubi would rather work himself to death than taste the humiliation of yesterday again.

Yang Zhengyu stared blankly at Niubi. Although he didn't understand in his heart, when he saw the strong anticipation and resolute expression in Niubi's eyes, he still agreed.

Niubi received several relatively easy tasks from Yang Zhengyu and then completed them one by one. After each completion, a wisp of spiritual energy would enter the spiritual sea in the dantian.

With the completion of the tasks, Niubi also clearly felt the changes in himself. Although there was still no sign of him entering the first level of the Qi Condensation stage, in terms of physical fitness alone, he was much stronger than in the morning.

A day's work made Niubi somewhat tired, but his mood was extremely excited. After a day of improvement, he clearly felt that the spiritual energy in his spiritual sea was already very abundant. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could complete his first upgrade in the immortal cultivation world.

The pill room was located at the deepest part of the. Although it was called the pill room, it was somewhat unworthy of the name. Because there were no finished pills here at all. All that was piled up here were the waste pills from failed alchemy.

The so-called waste pills were pills without any spiritual energy within them. The Tian Yun Sect would generally distribute these waste pills to the disciples of the every month. Although these pills no longer had the effect of improving one's cultivation strength, when it came to strengthening the body and removing diseases, they had significant effects. Therefore, even the waste pills were very popular in the.

In the pill room, Niubi sorted the piles of failed pills refined today into different categories. Because the materials used for many pills were not the same, the classification also had a clear process.

"Red Flower Pills, 134 waste pills. Purple Gold Pills, waste pills, 46. Foundation Establishment Pills, 19 waste pills. Great Recovery Pills, 3 waste pills!"

Niubi recorded all the pills in a small notebook and took more than ten Red Flower Pills and put them in his pocket.

Niubi's action was not something unusual. This was already an unwritten rule. The disciples of the Tian Yun Sect simply didn't bother with the waste pills. And the disciples who did the inventory would very normally deduct some pills for backup. Of course, the disciples doing the inventory would generally consciously take some of the lowest-level Red Flower Pills. As for those high-level waste pills, ordinary people wouldn't touch them.

After doing all this, Niubi walked out of the pill room. Suddenly, an electronic synthesized voice rang in his ear.

Beep beep... The inventory task is completed.

With the sound of the electronic synthesized voice, a wisp of spiritual energy rushed into Niubi's forehead and then quickly rushed towards Niubi's spiritual sea.

When the spiritual energy entered the spiritual sea, it suddenly rolled violently. Niubi was greatly startled. But before he could react, the spiritual sea within his body suddenly burst with a "bang". Wisps of spiritual energy scattered everywhere and quickly merged into Niubi's body and disappeared.

Niubi only felt a warm current spread throughout his body. An unprecedented sense of comfort almost made him moan.

But before he could moan, the electronic synthesized voice rang again.
