Chapter 87 Purchasing Foundation Building Pills Xiao Changqing didn't know what tricks the Luoxia Sect was playing, and he was too lazy to pay attention. All he wants now is to build his foundation. As time went by, he was getting closer and closer to the great perfection of Qi training. When he succeeds in building his foundation, not only will his magic power increase greatly, his life span will also greatly increase, but there will be a qualitative leap in all aspects, and his soul will be greatly improved. By then, even if he is in the early stage of foundation building, equipped with the Dragon Prison Bracelet and performing the Dragon Roar Technique, he will truly have the strength to rival or even kill those in the late stage of foundation building! Moreover, with the improvement of a great realm, the system might also change. Even if there is no change, the equipment bar is expanded, and he can equip more equipment like the 'Immortality Stone Fragment', what level of strength he will reach, Xiao Changqing himself cannot guess now. In short. As long as he succeeds in building his foundation, Xiao Changqing will have the real power to protect himself in this precarious and chaotic situation! No matter what conspiracy or tricks the Luoxia Sect has, he can easily break them. He is not afraid even if a Jindan Zhenren doesn't come in person!
But before that, you have to successfully build the foundation. Although Xiao Changqing believed that his current spiritual roots, magic power and soul strength were so high that he could rely entirely on himself without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he still had more than 80% chance of success. This success rate is already quite high. Even for cultivators with superior spiritual roots, this is the probability when they take the Foundation Establishment Pill. In the world of immortal cultivation, superior spiritual roots are equated with the Foundation Establishment Stage. But Xiao Changqing was still not satisfied. He still wanted to get a foundation-building pill and then make a sprint to build his foundation. Otherwise, if the foundation building fails, the life may be in danger at the worst, or extremely weak and the cultivation may regress at the least. These are all things Xiao Changqing cannot accept. You don't necessarily have to take the Foundation Establishment Pill when you break through, but you must prepare it. Because the Foundation Establishment Pill not only helps cultivators break through the foundation-building stage, it also has the effect of protecting cultivators from death after failing in foundation-building! …… It’s another Yizidongfu Exchange Conference. Although Xiao Changqing now lives in Jiayi Cave Mansion, he still went to participate. The last time he attended the exchange meeting, Xiao Changqing was only a first-level talisman master and could be considered a new star in Nanshanfang, but he was already very popular. Except for the great elder of the Mu family, almost all the participating monks would show their goodwill to Xiao Changqing and make friends with him. But this time, no one came up to say hello or try to make friends with me. the reason is simple. The gap between Xiao Changqing and this group of cultivators in the Yi-shaped Cave Mansion is really too big. The other top cultivators attending the meeting were Zhu Youlong, Ruan Qingzhu, Han Yu and other cultivators who lived in the first ten caves of the Yi character. Because of their status and position, even cultivators in the early stage of foundation building would give them some face. But what about Xiao Changqing? The second-level talisman master who lives in the Jiayi Cave has a record of killing cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. Now he is the undisputed number one master in Nanshanfang! The gap is so huge that I don’t even have the confidence to flatter or make friends with them!
Even Ruan Qingzhu, who was born in Baihua Valley, as the host of the exchange meeting, was polite in front of Xiao Changqing and gave up the main seat directly to him. At Xiao Changqing's signal, the exchange meeting began. It was not much different from the last time. The participating monks took out the treasures they wanted to trade one by one, and then said what they needed, and soon the scene became lively. The monks began to focus their attention on the treasures they wanted. Xiao Changqing is no exception. He still wandered among the monks, touching them from time to time. Last time, some people would laugh at Xiao Changqing's behavior. Even if they didn't mock him, they would think that Xiao Changqing was too cautious and treated the exchange meeting as a market stall. They were a bit like judging others by their own mean standards. But this time, no one dared to laugh. Don't be ridiculous. If Xiao Changqing took a fancy to a treasure, the owner of the treasure would probably not dare to take even a grain of spiritual sand and would be very happy to give the treasure to Xiao Changqing for free! the reason is simple. In today's Nanshanfang, Xiao Changqing's friendship is much more valuable than ordinary treasures! But unfortunately, the treasures at the exchange meeting did not include what Xiao Changqing wanted. Even the equipment effects of these treasures detected by the system are useless to Xiao Changqing now and are not of much help. As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it has never appeared in the history of Nanshanfang's exchange meetings over the years! Even the spiritual objects used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill may take several years or so before someone is lucky enough to take them out for trading. So from the beginning to the end of the exchange meeting, Xiao Changqing did not buy a single item. This was actually what he expected. He didn't have high expectations for the exchange meeting. Treasures like the Dragon Prisoner Bracelet depended on luck and could only be obtained by chance. He attended the exchange meeting just for the sake of convenience. His main purpose was to talk to the alchemists Zhu Youlong and Ruan Qingzhu to see if they knew any channels to get the Foundation Establishment Pill. …… Yiyi Cave, backyard. "Master Xiao Fu, are you going to try to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?" Zhu Youlong was greatly surprised to hear the news. It's not that he looks down on Xiao Changqing, but it's well known that Xiao Changqing's qualifications for low-grade spiritual roots make the probability of him successfully building a foundation too low. "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Isn't it natural for Master Xiao Fu to break through to the foundation-building stage?" Before Xiao Changqing could say anything, a young monk who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old looked down upon Zhu Youlong. This boy was none other than Ruan Qingzhu's son, named Ruan Bufan. Although Zhu Youlong said that this boy was a bit rebellious and had a very strained relationship with his mother Ruan Qingzhu. But in fact, he knows how to distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and he admires the strong. When he was returning to Nanshanfang from Yinye Peak, he was infected by an evil spirit and almost died. It was Xiao Changqing who saved him by drawing a talisman.
After learning the news, he always kept the kindness in his heart. But before he had recovered and had the chance to pay a visit to Xiao Changqing, the Mu Renjie Incident occurred. Xiao Changqing became the number one person in Nanshanfang and moved to Jiayi Cave Mansion, so he had no chance to pay a visit to him. But it was precisely because of this that, after learning about Xiao Changqing's battle record, the evil spirit that almost cost him his life at a glance was killed head-on by Xiao Changqing. In addition to being grateful for Xiao Changqing's life-saving grace, his admiration for him was like a surging river that could not be stopped. When he heard today that Xiao Changqing was coming to attend the exchange meeting, he took the initiative to ask his mother Ruan Qingzhu to introduce him. "Fan'er, don't be rude!" Ruan Qingzhu scolded. Ruan Bufan snorted coldly, and looked at the alchemist Zhu Youlong with a look that showed no malice at all. It seemed that he was disgusted with his mother's loyal suitor. Xiao Changqing ignored the complicated relationship between the three people and said with a smile: "Although I have low-grade spiritual roots, I still have to give it a try. As cultivators of my generation, we strive to achieve immortality. We can't be satisfied with the Qi Refining Stage. After 120 years, we will turn into a pile of yellow earth. How is that different from ordinary people?" "No, no, no, I was rude." Zhu Youlong did not bother with Ruan Bufan, a young boy, and apologized quickly. The current Xiao Changqing is no longer the little brother he saw a year ago who could be joked with and given advice. He said sincerely, "Although Master Xiao Fu has low-grade spiritual roots, his talent and ability are many times higher than those with high-grade spiritual roots! Even the senior who built his foundation with low-grade spiritual roots four hundred years ago in the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation Realm was probably far inferior to Master Xiao Fu when he was in the Qi Refining Realm. It has never been difficult for Master Xiao Fu to become the second person to build his foundation with low-grade spiritual roots in the past four hundred years." Ruan Bufan replied, "Of course! Master Xiao Fu can not only build a foundation, but I think he may even be able to form an elixir in the future!" After praising him, he changed the subject and said, "Unlike some people, who have lived their whole lives and half of their bodies are buried in the ground. It's fine if they can't build a foundation, but the alchemy they are so proud of is only at the first level! And they are shameless toads who want to eat swan meat and keep pestering my mother!" Ruan Qingzhu, who was standing by, flew into a rage after hearing this. She was both angry and ashamed, and shouted, "Ruan Bufan, get out of here! We are talking about something, why are you butting in!" "Let's go!" Ruan Bufan left with his head held high, without admitting his mistake at all. But before leaving, he still said goodbye to Xiao Changqing politely. Ruan Qingzhu gave Zhu Youlong an apologetic look, but Zhu Youlong seemed to be used to it and didn't take it seriously. After this little episode, let’s get down to business. "Foundation Building Pills. A Jindan sect like Luoxia Sect most likely has a number of Foundation Building Pills in stock! Even if it doesn't have any now, a Jindan sect usually has cooperative relationships with second-level alchemists. As long as all the alchemy materials are gathered, there will be Foundation Building Pills. Compared to independent cultivators like us, or cultivators from small sects and families, this is the advantage of large sects. If Master Xiao is willing to return to Luoxia Sect, it will not be difficult for you to get a Foundation Building Pill as a second-level talisman master." Zhu Youlong said. "What else?" Xiao Changqing asked. "In addition, Foundation Establishment Pills often appear at auctions in major immortal cities. The price is not cheap, usually around 150 high-quality spirit stones. This is also the advantage of large immortal cities over small places like our Nanshanfang. In Nanshanfang, you can't buy Foundation Establishment Pills even if you have spirit stones..." Zhu Youlong said with emotion. One hundred and fifty high-quality spirit stones. That is fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is indeed very expensive. Even though he was a second-rank talisman master, he still had to work hard to draw talismans and earn money for a while before he could afford it. For ordinary Qi-refining cultivators, don’t even think about it. However, Xiao Changqing had managed to collect enough money, but he wanted to go to a large fairy city. In the southwest of the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World, there are very few large immortal cities, and the nearest one is thousands of miles away from Nanshanfang. It is too far for Xiao Changqing now, and the journey is filled with too many uncertainties. “If Master Xiao Fu wants the Foundation Establishment Pill but doesn’t want to go back to Luoxia Sect, and thinks the large immortal city is too far away, he could perhaps consider Taohuafang, which is closer to Nanshanfang. The largest foundation-building family there, the Sun family, has a friendship with a second-rank top-grade alchemist in Liyang Immortal City, and they occasionally put foundation-building pills up for auction.” Zhu Youlong said again.
"Taohuafang?" Xiao Changqing's eyes lit up when he heard that. (End of this chapter)
