"Have you heard that the sect has distributed foundation-building pills to the inner disciples?" "Senior Brother Li is in seclusion, and it is said that he is going to break through the foundation-building realm." "Senior Brother Zhang is also preparing to go into seclusion." "Soon, our Green Immortal Sect will have another batch of foundation-building cultivators." "..." Recently, no matter where Xu Changshou went, people talked about foundation-building pills and inner disciples. Xu Changshou was tired of listening to him, so he closed the courtyard and drew talismans with all his heart. After his cultivation broke through the twelfth level of Qi Refining, his task of drawing talismans increased from 280 per month to 420. Of course, Xu Changshou's speed of drawing talismans has also become faster. Now, he can draw 100 spiritual talismans a day without any effort. The twelfth level of Qi Refining has about one-third more spiritual energy reserves than the eleventh level of Qi Refining, but the twelfth level of Qi Refining is more complete than the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
The speed of recovering spiritual energy is faster. When the spiritual energy is exhausted, the recovery of the twelfth level of Qi Refining is twice as fast as that of the eleventh level of Qi Refining. In terms of drawing talismans, of course, more are drawn. In addition, the application of mana by cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi Refining is more comprehensive. A cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining can barely use magic tools, while a cultivator at the eleventh level of Qi Refining cannot. This is the biggest difference. In two and a half months, Xu Changshou drew a total of 7,500 Fengxing Talismans, and then stopped. Xu Changshou calculated that it was enough for him to complete more than a year's tasks. In the short term, there is no need to worry about drawing talismans. Calculating the time, there is less than half a month left before the Foundation Establishment Daoist Exchange Meeting. Xu Changshou told Yang Bailao some things, and then quietly went to Wanxianfang City. At this time, Ye Shanhu, Li Linhao, and some inner disciples such as Leng Muyang were in seclusion to impact the foundation-building realm. When he arrived at Wanxianfang City, Xu Changshou directly found He Shuixiu. The exchange meeting had not yet started, and He Shuixiu arranged a room for Xu Changshou in Wanxian Pavilion for him to stay temporarily. At the same time, Xu Changshou gave He Shuixiu the thirty-six talismans that he had prepared long ago, and He Shuixiu also gave him spiritual stones. Before the exchange meeting began, there was also an annual small auction. Xu Changshou had participated in this kind of auction once. Since it was the right time, Xu Changshou would certainly not miss it. However, before that, Xu Changshou planned to buy some medicinal materials to gather the auxiliary medicinal materials for refining the foundation-building pill. To refine the foundation-building pill, a total of thirteen kinds of medicinal materials are needed. In addition to the four main medicinal materials such as the four immortal grass, Linglong fruit, blood cherry blossom, and Emperor Liujiang, nine auxiliary medicinal materials are also needed. These nine medicinal materials are: hemp seed, Tianxiangcao, century-old Poria cocos, black fire seeds, Fenglingcao, pine huo, pine yellow grass, snow deer antler, and Huangxiang Linggao. These nine medicinal materials are all very common medicinal materials, so Xu Changshou has not been in a hurry to buy them. When he learned that Ye Shanhu and others had obtained the foundation-building pill, Xu Changshou had the idea of buying medicinal materials. There was plenty of time. After a day of rest in Wanxian Pavilion, Xu Changshou began to stroll around.
The first place he went to was the street stalls. In Pingyang Market, it is not allowed to set up stalls casually, which is not conducive to the business of those merchants. The people in Wanxian Building specially planned an area for those who set up street stalls. In this area, they can set up stalls at will. At this time, it happened to be the annual small auction and the exchange meeting of foundation-building Taoist friends. Wanxian Market was very lively, and the business of those shops has been extremely hot in recent days. Even the street stalls were no exception. There was an endless stream of cultivators visiting the street stalls. Even occasionally, you can see a great foundation-building cultivator in the crowd. Xu Changshou looked around and saw that there were people selling talismans, elixirs, puppets, weapons, robes, and skills on the street stalls. Everything you need is available. There are also people selling spiritual medicines, but they are relatively few. To be honest, the things sold on the street stalls are not necessarily of lower quality than those in the shops. Some are even better than those in the shops. Generally, people who set up stalls don’t have much stuff in their hands, and it’s not worth opening a shop, so they choose to set up stalls. Some people don’t have spiritual stones, so they sell their property in exchange for spiritual stones. It’s easy to find bargains on street stalls, and sometimes you can spend a lot of money to buy good things, so the street stall economy is very attractive. Of course, there is also the risk of being cheated when buying street stall goods. Xu Changshou’s goal this time is spiritual medicine, so he keeps browsing the stalls selling spiritual medicine. Suddenly, a yellow grass as vigorous as a pine tree caught Xu Changshou’s eyes. This grass was raised in a flowerpot, and the stall owner was an older monk who had already returned to secular life. There were also various other spiritual medicines on his stall. Judging from the situation, this old monk should be good at growing spiritual medicines. None of his spiritual medicines were too precious. "Fellow Daoist, how much do you sell this yellow pine grass for?" Xu Changshou pointed at the yellow grass and asked with a smile. "Do you want to buy it?" The old monk opened his cloudy eyes. "Yes!" "Forty broken spirit stones per plant. If you buy more, you can get a discount, one spirit stone for three plants." "Do you have more?" "Yes, these are all planted by me. If they are not enough, I still have some at home." As the old monk spoke, he took out four or five more plants from the storage bag. Xu Changshou looked at them and selected three plants with better growth rates. "I want these three plants, and I'll give you spirit stones!"
Throwing a spirit stone to the old monk, Xu Changshou put the selected yellow pine grass into the storage bag. To refine the foundation-building pill, only one yellow pine grass is enough at a time, but this thing is cheap, so for the sake of safety, Xu Changshou bought three at a time. The old monk reminded: "Little Taoist friend, you don't know how to plant. Remember to deal with it immediately after you go back." "Thank you for your reminder, I will. By the way, fellow Taoist, I need a few more spiritual medicines. I wonder if you have them." "What spiritual medicines?" "Heavenly fragrant grass, wind spiritual grass, black fire seeds." Xu Changshou said three spiritual medicines in one breath. These three spiritual medicines are relatively common, and ordinary monks can plant them. The old monk smiled: "I have both heavenly fragrant grass and black fire seeds. Little Taoist friend, please take a look." As the old man spoke, he took out a spiritual grass and a plant that looked like a shower head. The shower head was full of sesame-sized black fire seeds. "Okay, okay, I want three of each. Do you have enough?" "Yes, yes, yes!" The old monk was overjoyed. He had met a big customer. Now, he had enough money to buy Qi Condensation Pills for his grandson. "How much is it in total?" "Three celery seeds are also one spiritual stone. Black fire seeds are a little more expensive. Each one is fifty broken spiritual stones." "Here!" Xu Changshou took out two spiritual stones and gave fifty broken spiritual stones. After buying the spiritual medicine, Xu Changshou continued to stroll around the street stalls. After a morning, he found hemp seeds, hundred-year-old tuckahoe and wind spirit grass. Only in the street stalls, he collected six spiritual medicines. He still needed three spiritual medicines: pine husk, snow deer antler and yellow fragrant ling paste.
