“By the way, is there a way to buy a Foundation Pill? Now, Yu’er, your cultivation should have nearly reached the perfection of the Qi Cultivation ninth layer right? You should be able to try foundation establishment. If you could become a cultivator who has established their foundation, we would be much safer.”
Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.
He felt that if Ji Bingyu became a Foundation-laying Cultivator, she would definitely be able to handle this crisis.
Moreover, it’s not degrading to rely on his own partner. Having a Foundation-layering Cultivator backing him up, he could strut around confidently.
“With your help, my spiritual sense has now transformed into the spiritual sense of Foundation Establishment, the True Yuan in my body has been perfected, and my physical body has been perfected. Indeed, I should be able to try Foundation Establishment. If I were to try it myself, there is at least a 50% probability that I could succeed.”
Ji Bingyu said with emotion.
Originally, based on her estimation, she needed at least ten years of cultivation to truly reach the perfect state of Qi Cultivation, and only then would she be truly able to attempt Foundation Establishment.
But now, after dual-cultivating with her partner for two years, her cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and her spiritual sense has transformed, evolving to the realm of Foundation Establishment.
Her cultivation progress has improved many times compared to before.
“No, we can’t attempt establishment on our own. It’s too dangerous.” Zhou Sui waved his hand, he had a natural aversion to risk. A 50% chance is no different from gambling; unless it’s a 100% chance, we should not try to establish the foundation.
!!..
Otherwise, if it fails, that means death and the termination of the path, this is exceedingly dangerous.
Ji Bingyu is his life partner, she couldn’t take such a risky action.
But it would be different with a Foundation Pill.
One Foundation Pill would increase the chance by 30%.
The most important thing is, with the aid of the medicinal strength of the Foundation Pill, even if the foundation’s establishment fails, one will not die and could attempt the establishment again. This is the safest method.
■’That’s right, Sister Ji, there’s actually no need to rush. I’ve heard that Misty Cloud City will hold a grand auction in the spring, and there might be Foundation Pills for auction.”
Mu Ziyi dissuaded, in fact, Misty Cloud City holds a large-scale auction once every three years.
Many businesses will come to Misty Cloud City, the auction will feature numerous exotic treasures, and all kinds of Pills and Spirit Medicine.
This will attract countless cultivators, it is indeed a gathering of elites.
“All right, let’s wait then.”
Ji Bingyu also nodded her agreement.
She also thinks that it’s safer to establish a foundation with a Foundation Pill. After all, everyone only has one life. Even if she has a lot of confidence, she can’t guarantee a 100% chance of success.
Now, they don’t lack Spirit Stones.
If given the chance, they could completely buy the Foundation Pill using Spirit Stones.
After lunch, Zhou Sui entered the quiet room. He took out the Heritage Jade Record from Pill Master Zhang Cheng from his body.
Although he already had the complete inheritance of a first-grade Alchemist, the years of alchemy experience from Zhang Cheng could also give him much inspiration.
Rustle rustle—
Without any intention to watch this Heritage Jade Record, he handed it to the Bookworm, which started gnawing at it.
After a short while, these Heritage Jade Records were gnawed to nothing and all went into the stomach of the Bookworm.
Wash—
Suddenly, a vast array of information instantly sank into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.
“Could it be? Uncle Zhang actually got an incredible heritage. Zhou Sui opened his eyes wide, sensing this piece of information, he was astonished.
Apparently, the alchemical heritage Zhang Cheng got has fewer first-grade alchemist inheritances, it couldn’t compare to the heritage he got from the Lu family’s Treasure Pavilion.
However, there was a top-level alchemy skill in it, named the Five Elements
Alchemy Technique.”
It is important to note that ordinary alchemy skills are generally about fire control.
This skill allows the Pill Masters to manipulate the flame, to melt the Spiritual Medicine, refine it, and create Spiritual Pills.
However, such a flame is nothing more than an ordinary flame, merely an accumulation of the element of fire between heaven and earth.
Consequently, an ordinary flame cannot remove the many impurities contained in Spiritual Medicine.
The increase in impurities and the clashes of medicinal properties can cause alchemy to fail.
Even if alchemy is successful by sheer luck, it would only yield low-quality Spiritual Pills.
However, Sect Cultivators have methods to solve this problem by locating a Geothermal Vein and utilizing the power of earth fire to assist in alchemy, naturally solving the problem at hand.
This is also one of the crucial reasons why Loose Cultivators rarely become Pill Masters.
If there is no help from Geothermal Vein, the success rate of Alchemy can at least decrease by more than half.
Of course, if Pill Masters are extremely lucky to acquire Spiritual Fire, it can naturally increase the success rate of alchemy.
But obtaining Spiritual Fire is even more difficult than obtaining a geothermal vein.
This is a resource that countless Pill Masters desire to possess, once some kind of Spiritual Fire appears, it would be madly scrambled for.
The value of Spiritual Fire is incalculable.
It is generally acquired by Pill Masters from major sects and will not be left for Loose Cultivators.
However, the Five Elements Alchemy Technique that Zhang Cheng obtained
was entirely different.
This is an alternative Alchemy skill that utilizes the power of the Five Elements between heaven and earth for alchemy.
Even without Spiritual Fire or the aid of a Geothermal Vein, it can refine pills, eliminate impurities in Spiritual Medicine.
After all, there are numerous Spiritual Medicines between heaven and earth with complex properties, and if one were to refine them using only flames, many Spiritual Medicines would not be suitable. Even Pill Masters who possess the Spiritual Fire may be unable to concoct certain special kinds of pills. The Five Elements Alchemy Technique, however, is different.
Once this cultivation technique is successful, one could utilize the elemental energies of the five elements between heaven and earth to refine Spiritual Medicine, melt it, and then make top-grade pills.
Because the power of the Five Elements includes all, regardless of the properties of the Spiritual Medicine, one can use the power of the Five Elements to refine and purify medicinal properties, making it a universal alchemy skill.
“This skill is too hard.”
Upon perceiving the information of this skill, Zhou Sui just felt like his head was about to explode, much like a student with poor grades looking at advanced mathematics, causing his scalp to tingle with numbness.
This is even more difficult than mastering the Phantasma Transformation skill.
Because, to learn this skill, one must be proficient with the elemental powers of the Five Elements of heaven and earth, and they need to master them perfectly.
Ordinary cultivators find it extremely difficult to master just one kind of elemental power, let alone mastering five types at the same time.
Even further, they need to combine the powers of these five elements, to reach a stage of ceaseless vitality, and the state where the Five Elements Unite. Just at the stage of a beginner, many people would have already found it extremely difficult.
When Pill Master Zhang Cheng first acquired this skill, he was overjoyed, feeling he had struck gold, and was sure he would rise to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator or even a Golden Core Master in the future.
But, after cultivating it for thirty years and simply managing to become a beginner in this skill, he fell into despair.
According to his aptitude, even if he practiced for a few more decades, he would not be able to cultivate this skill to a proficient level.
Of course, even as a beginner in this skill, it still managed to promote him to the level of a middle-grade Pill Master.
This is a level that has surpassed countless Loose Cultivators.
It goes without saying that this alchemy skill must have come from the hands of some Alchemy Grandmaster.
“It seems that the aid of a Bookworm is still necessary.”
Zhou Sui immediately gave up on understanding it himself and decided to use the power of Gu Insects instead. His comprehension ability was merely that of an ordinary person and he simply could not understand such a profound skill. To force it now would just end up being a waste of time..
