Chapter 154: New Room

Shen Xu gasped when they entered the bamboo hut.

With an excited expression, he held Zhen Yuan’s arm and looked around.

“The qi is so dense.” He exclaimed.

Before the space upgrade, the qi inside and outside the bamboo hut was equally dense.

However, after the upgrade, there was a marked difference between the inside and outside.

“I have not activated my cultivation technique but the external aura is actively drilling into my body.” He stated.

“Half the effort will produce twice the result in this environment.” Zhen Yuan said, his lips curled in a smile.

“I wonder what other changes are there.” Shen Xu said and happily dragged Zhen Yuan to look around the bamboo hut.

However, after checking a few rooms, Shen Xu couldn’t help but be disappointed.

“Nothing else seems to have changed.” He said in a disappointed voice.

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan sighed before he spoke.

“We each have a training room and the hut also has an alchemy room, a storage room, a pantry, a brewing room, a wine cellar, a kitchen, a sitting room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a library. Isn’t it enough?” He asked.

“Not enough.” The double shook his head.

“I still want a weapon refining room and you need a workshop. It would be good if you didn’t have to draw talismans in your training room.”

“This is only the second space upgrade. Maybe we will get what we want in later upgrades.”

“I hope so.” Shen Xu said as the two entered the library.

A moment later, the double chuckled.

“There is something new.” He said, pointing at a door.

“Brother Yuan, do you think the new room has forbidden books and techniques?” He asked.

“We will know when we look.” Zhen Yuan said, pulling the door towards the door.

Soon after, the two entered a room.

The room was five square metres.

It had two stone beds and nothing else.

“What is this?” Shen Xu couldn’t help but frown.

“There are formations on the two beds.” Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

“Isn’t there related information in your inheritance memory.” He asked.

Hearing this, Shen Xu nodded and closed his eyes.

When the space upgraded the first time, related memories appeared in Shen Xu’s mind.

This time was no different.

It was because of this that he knew the specifics of the mountain restriction.

However, he hadn’t had time to sort the memories so he didn’t immediately know the function of the new room.

An incense stick later, Shen Xu opened his eyes.

Without a word, he walked to one of the stone beds, touched a hidden groove, and the bed separated into two equal parts, revealing a hidden drawer.

“This is?” Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Brother Yuan, there is a similar mechanism on the other bed. Put ten million spirit stones in the drawer and lie down after the bed returns to normal.” Shen Xu instructed.

“Okay.” Zhen Yuan said and went to do as asked.

Soon after, Shen Xu lay on one bed and Zhen Yuan on the other.

A moment later, an image screen appeared before them.

[Choose a simulation room.] Shen Xu silently read.

On the screen was a list of eight choices – alchemy room, talismans room, weapons refining room, inscriptions room, formations room, cooking room, brewing room, mechanism room.

When Shen Xu saw this, his heart skipped a beat.

Although he knew what to expect before he lay on the bed, the reality was still incredible.

’Which room should I choose?’ He wondered, eagerly looking at the list.

A moment later, he made up his mind and firmly chose the alchemy room.

[Choose a level.] Another choice appeared.

There were six choices this time – level one, level two, level three, level four, level five and level six.

Shen Xu chose level one and the screen changed.

Two choices appeared on the screen.

[First choice: systematically study alchemy.

Second choice: study a specific aspect.]

This time, Shen Xu took a moment to think about it.

After a moment of thought, he chose the second option and the screen changed.

[Choose an aspect of study.]

[Healing pill.] Shen Xu silently muttered.

A moment later, the screen changed and a voice began echoing in the surroundings.

The voice explained the healing pill-it’s functions, the materials needed to refine it, and the best techniques for refining it.

After the explanation ended, the scene changed and two long tables appeared.

On each table was an alchemy furnace, an ordinary pill fire, spirit grasses, and various boxes and porcelain bottles.

At the moment, Shen Xu stood behind one table while an illusiory figure stood behind the other.

Without a word, the figure began processing the spirit grasses and soon refined a level one healing pill.

After removing the pills from the furnace, the figure stood back and Shen Xu examined the pills.

“Eight perfect grade level one healing pills.” The double exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

Although he was a level three alchemist, he couldn’t refine eight perfect grade level one pills in one furnace.

However, he was always trying to improve.

At this time, he was naturally motivated when he saw the eight perfect grade pills.

“Let me try.” He said but didn’t immediately begin refining pills.

Instead, he sat cross-legged and recalled how the illusionary figure refined the healing pills.

A cup of tea later, Shen Xu stood and began processing the materials.

Ordinarily, he used spiritual water to completely remove impurities.

However, the illusionary figure didn’t use spiritual water but still refined perfect grade pills.

Recalling this, the double gritted his teeth and began cleaning the spirit grasses.

First cleaning, second cleaning, …, ninth cleaning.

After cleaning the spirit grasses, he extracted the essences and soon reached the purifying step.

First purification, second purification, …, ninth purification.

Following that, he mixed the purified essences, divided it into eight portions and began condensing the pills.

An incense stick later, eight fat pills appeared at the bottom of the pill furnace.

Unfortunately, his performance wasn’t as impressive as the illusionary figure.

Not only did he use more time to refine the pills but the resulting pills weren’t all perfect grade.

“Four perfect grade and four peak grade.” He muttered, his brows creased in a frown.

Although the result was better than his previous efforts, he was still a little disappointed.

However, Shen Xu wasn’t discouraged.

He sighed and looked at the illusionary figure.

As if sensing his gaze, the figure stepped forward and refined a second batch of healing pills.

After that, Shen Xu also refined a second batch and managed to condense six perfect grade pills and two peak grade.

In this way, the two took turns until Shen Xu managed to refine eight perfect grade pills.

However, the simulation didn’t end there.

Instead, the illusionary figure demonstrated other ways of refining healing pills using different materials and methods.

Time passed and before he knew it, Shen Xu had been in the simulation room for one month.

Not only did he learn the healing pill but also other common pills including the qi gathering pill, qi replenishing pill, blood replenishing pill, and soul replenishing pill.

When he left the simulation illusion, Shen Xu was still a little reluctant but he knew he couldn’t stay for much longer.

After all, they were on a flying ship and would soon reach the Divine Rainbow Academy.

“I will systematically study the next time I enter the simulation room.” He muttered as he rolled out of the stone bed.

“Did you learn well?” A voice asked and Shen Xu turned to Zhen Yuan.

“I learned a lot. How about you?” Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan nodded before he spoke.

“It’s a good place to practice.”

“Mmh.” Shen Xu nodded and touched the hidden groove to reveal the drawer.

“There are still more than nine million spirit stones in the drawer.” He said and quickly continued.

“From my inheritance memory, level one simulation rooms cost one thousand spirit stones per day.”

“Do all subjects cost the same?” Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu nodded.

“The cost is the same across the board. A level one room is one thousand low- grade spirit stones per day, level two is ten thousand, level three is one hundred thousand, level four is one million, level five is ten million, and level six is one hundred million.”

When Zhen Yuan heard this, his lips twitched and he looked at his wife with a teasing expression.

“It seems we have encountered another money eating beast.” He said and Shen Xu sighed.

“We can’t slack. We should strive to earn as many spirit stones as we can in this year before we board the merchant ship.” Shen Xu said, looking at Zhen Yuan with a solemn expression.

“Don’t worry.” Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair.

After all, they got many spirit grasses, refining materials, and other things in the Demon Plants Forest.

As long as they didn’t slack, they would have enough spirit stones to not only feed their cultivation, Yang Shi, and the space, but also the simulation room.
