I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 8 Qingshan Town

Xiao Zheng looked at the young man with a smile, his tone slightly sarcastic: "Of course I want to buy such a cheap high-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique."

"It's just that I'm short on cash right now, otherwise I wouldn't be working as a thug."

The young man's expression changed: "So how much do you have now?"

Xiao Zheng: "30 gold coins."

"Depend on!"

The young man immediately started cursing: "What are you talking about if you don't have money? You're wasting your time! Give it to me..."

He snatched the cultivation manual back from Xiao Zheng's hand and turned to leave angrily.

At this point, the caravan owner distributed dry rations to the guards.

Xiao Zheng looked surprised. He hadn't expected the caravan to provide meals; this was truly a kind gesture.

He stepped forward and took his share of dry rations.

Xiao Zheng walked to the side, eating as he thought, "It will probably take some more time to get from here to Qingshan Town."

"My current role is that of a guard, so I probably won't have time to cultivate during the day."

"In that case, I can only cultivate at night."

"But wouldn't that mean I wouldn't have time to rest? No problem... I'm still young, it's the time to sleep less and work more!"

"After all, this world is a dog-eat-dog world. Unless there are no more cultivation techniques to practice, we can't waste our daily cultivation time."

At dawn, Xiao Zheng sat cross-legged and silently recited the Thunder Pattern Mantra.

"Nano-lightning enters the body, condensing into patterns and forging meridians..."

As his cultivation progressed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth silently flowed into his body, and after circulating through his meridians, it transformed into lightning-attribute fighting energy...

morning.

After four hours of cultivation, Xiao Zheng, with the help of the panel, effortlessly condensed a Dou Qi vortex in his dantian, becoming a one-star Dou Zhe.

A slight smile played on his lips as he thought to himself, "Having a cheat code is great; I became a one-star Dou Zhe so easily."

Xiao Zheng mentally summarized the rules for breaking through realms:

In normal training, for example, if the proficiency is 0/5, then when he trains for five days, and reaches 5/5 on the fifth day, he will automatically enter the next stage, which is 0/6.

When he cultivates a certain skill to the highest level, due to the skill's own cultivation limit, his proficiency may be as low as 9/9 or 19/19.

If one wishes to continue cultivating at this point, one must find a higher-level cultivation method.

Once you find a suitable cultivation method, you only need to practice for four hours to enter the next proficiency stage.

Xiao Zheng opened the panel and glanced at his current attributes.

Name: Xiao Zheng

Age: 15

[Soul: Mortal Realm (Lightning, Fire, Wood)]

[Realm: One-Star Dou Zhe (0/11)]

[Technique: Thunder Pattern Technique (Maximum Level: Nine-Star Dou Zhe)]

[Learned: Xiao Family Basic Sensing Technique (Unranked), Thunder Pattern Technique (Low Yellow Rank)]

【Combat Technique: Absorb Palm (Mastery, 98/100)】

[Different Flame: None]

[Fortune Points: 2]

【Chosen Mission: None (?)】

Xiao Zheng saw that the proficiency of a one-star Dou Zhe was 0/11, which meant that he could become a two-star Dou Zhe after 11 days of training.

Based on this progress, he mentally estimated the time required for the subsequent progress.

From this moment on, it will take 11 days to become a two-star Dou Zhe, 23 days to become a three-star Dou Zhe, 37 days to become a four-star Dou Zhe, and so on...

Similarly, the higher Xiao Zheng's realm, the more time he needs to cultivate to the next level.

As expected, cultivation is not a simple matter. Even with the panel, compared to others, he has only broken through to the next realm without encountering any bottlenecks.

correct!

Xiao Zheng's gaze was focused on the line of Creation Points.

He still has a chance to be lucky.

This thing can max out a small realm at once, but each major realm can only be maxed out once. Otherwise, if Xiao Zheng had more of these, he might have become an emperor in a single day.

What a pity, what a pity...

Just then, the caravan leader shouted, "Everyone get up and collect your rations! We'll set off after we've eaten!"

……

Five days later.

Xiao Zheng's proficiency in the Thunder Pattern Technique has reached 5/11.

These past few days, because of his role as a guard, he has been traveling all day and has not had much time to practice the Absorption Palm technique.

As a result, the proficiency in palm strikes did not improve at all.

That morning, as Xiao Zheng was walking, he saw the outline of a town coming into view.

Xiao Zheng suddenly had a brilliant idea. He mobilized the fighting spirit within his body and gathered it in his eyes, causing them to shimmer with a faint silver-white light.

At a microscopic level, Xiao Zheng used his battle qi to create two lenses on his eyes: one was an eyepiece, and the other was an objective lens...

The scene hundreds of meters away immediately appeared clearly before his eyes.

Above the town gate in front of them was a stone plaque that read: Qingshan Town.

[You have created a new, unranked combat skill. Please name it.]

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, not expecting that his sudden inspiration would lead to the creation of a fighting technique.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Zheng came up with a name that sounded both sophisticated and cultured.

He silently said to himself, "Let's call it Tianwen (Heavenly Questions)."

[Already included, the combat skill "Heavenly Questions"]

Xiao Zheng opened the panel and glanced at it, and saw that the combat skill column had changed to 2/4, with a new combat skill called Tianwen.

This fighting technique has no proficiency level.

……

Before long, the caravan entered Qingshan Town.

The caravan owner expressed his gratitude to the guards and gave each of them money.

Xiao Zheng received a heavy little bag of money from the caravan owner.

Looking at the small bag in his hand, he felt that carrying it around was a bit inconvenient, as it could easily be stolen by pickpockets.

"If only I had a storage ring, but those things are incredibly expensive, far beyond what I can dream of right now."

Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly, hung the small bag on his waist, and stopped thinking about it.

Now that he has arrived in Qingshan Town and has 1000 gold coins as starting capital, a new life has begun.

Glug glug~

Xiao Zheng's stomach suddenly started to protest.

These past few days on the road, I've been eating dry rations every day, and my mouth is so bland it's practically tasteless.

It's time to find a restaurant and have a big meal.

He then began to stroll around the streets.

He hadn't walked far when a familiar shop name came into view.

Wanyaozhai.

Xiao Zheng stopped at the entrance of Wan Yao Zhai's shop, and a girl's name flashed through his mind.

Little Fairy Doctor.

A thought flashed through his mind... Go pick up a girl?

Xiao Zheng was speechless at the thought in his mind. He was a newcomer, and his future livelihood was a problem. How could he possibly pick up girls? Pick up girls? What a load of crap.

Although Little Fairy Doctor isn't the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich, for her right now, the most important thing is to cultivate and make money, to establish herself here first...

1000 gold coins won't last long at all.

Moreover, Xiao Zheng was quite certain that as his cultivation level improved, he would need money for many more things in the future.

High-level martial arts techniques, elixirs, equipment, storage rings... which one doesn't require a massive amount of money?

Although he has a control panel, he can consider collecting various martial arts techniques and fighting skills.

However, the prerequisite for inclusion is having strength, and for him, to have strength, he has to spend money to buy cultivation techniques.

Without strength, how can one have the opportunity to access and collect high-level items?

When it comes to making money, the most lucrative profession in the Dou Qi Continent is undoubtedly that of an alchemist.

There are two innate requirements to become an alchemist: first, one's soul attribute must be fire or wood; second, one must have a strong soul perception.

Let's start with one.

Xiao Zheng's soul has three attributes, the other two being fire and wood.

However, low-level alchemists seem to need to use a medicine cauldron to catalyze their battle qi into battle qi flames that are exclusive to alchemists.

Clearly, he couldn't afford the medicine cauldron. Fortunately, through his recent use of battle qi and the improvements he made with the panel, his control over battle qi was now as good as his own.

For example, the fighting technique "Heavenly Questions" that he created earlier would be impossible for other cultivators to achieve given their level of cultivation.

By analogy, Xiao Zheng felt that even though he only had the strength of a Dou Zhe, it was not impossible for him to condense the Dou Qi flames used by alchemists and to refine medicine without the help of a medicine cauldron.

As for the soul perception in condition two?

Because Xiao Yan is a transmigrator, his soul perception is naturally stronger than others.

But who isn't a time traveler at some point?

Therefore, Xiao Zheng's soul perception should be fine.

Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment and decided to go to Wan Yao Zhai to see if he could buy some first-grade medicine prescriptions and try to refine medicine.

Good prescriptions, like the Foundation Building Elixir from the Old Master Yao, are definitely not easily passed on to outsiders.

However, you can still buy some ordinary prescriptions on the market, which are very suitable for practicing.

Xiao Zheng remembered that to become a first-grade alchemist, one must first be able to skillfully refine first-grade pills, and then go to the Alchemist Guild to take a certification exam.

If he could become an alchemist, making a fortune would be a piece of cake.

So Xiao Zheng eventually entered the Wan Yao Zhai.

He wanted to see if Little Fairy Doctor was there, so he looked around, but he didn't see Little Fairy Doctor, or even a woman.

Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly and asked the shop assistant if they sold any prescriptions.

The shop assistant then led him to the inner room.

Xiao Zheng saw a counter displaying some common prescriptions, mostly first-grade and only a few second-grade.

Non-Dan type prescriptions are relatively cheap, ranging from one hundred to several hundred gold coins for a first-grade prescription, while Dan type prescriptions are much more expensive than non-Dan type prescriptions, perhaps because they are the standard for testing alchemists.

A first-grade item costs over a thousand gold coins.

With Xiao Zheng's current assets, he simply can't afford it!

By the way, I wonder if his panel can record prescriptions?
