Chapter 20 Foundation Building Pill
"This is right here. What was recorded in the handbook left by the ancestor is indeed correct. There is really a water spirit fruit tree here! It has been more than a hundred years, so the water spirit fruit must have matured." The two people behind Liu Tianlong Elder Liu seemed a little excited.
The Liu family did not hesitate to use most of the family's combat power this time, and also spent a lot of money to hire three nearby monks from the Qi Refining family, not just to kill the second-level silver-armored crab monster just now.
The real purpose of this trip to the Liu family is to successfully sneak into the bottom of the pool to find a second-level water spirit fruit tree recorded in Liu Tianlong's handbook after destroying the second-level monster that occupies the water pool.
The handbook on Liu Tianlong was left by a foundation-building ancestor of the Liu family more than a hundred years ago. It records that this ancestor of the Liu family once hunted monsters in the Fuyun Mountains and accidentally discovered that there was a monster here. A second-grade water spirit fruit tree.
It was with the help of a ripe water spirit fruit on the tree at that time that the ancestor of the Liu family exchanged a foundation-building pill from the Xiaoyao Sect, and then successfully built the foundation.
After the ancestor of the Liu family established the foundation, he originally wanted to transplant the water spirit fruit tree to the Liu family's Lingshan Mountain. Unfortunately, there was no second-level spiritual planter in the clan, and he could not believe outsiders, so he had to give up temporarily.
This ancestor of the Liu family has always been tight-lipped about this matter within the clan, and only recorded it in his notes. He did not expect that he would accidentally die outside, and other clan members would never know about it. It was not until decades after he succeeded the clan leader that he accidentally discovered the handbook and sent people to the Fuyun Mountains to find the water pool recorded in the handbook.
Finally, after the Liu family had been dormant patiently for nearly a hundred years, when the water spirit fruit matured again, Liu Tianlong came here.
Ever since the Liu family lost its only Foundation-building monk to the monster riots in northern Xinjiang a hundred years ago, all the Liu family monks have been thinking about how to restore the glory of being a Foundation-building family for more than a hundred years.
To achieve this goal, the Liu family must find a way to cultivate a foundation-building monk again. Now they are very close to this goal. After many years of training, the Liu family has hidden a seed that can build a foundation. All that's left now is a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Except for the unique Tianlinggen monks, ordinary monks will encounter a big bottleneck when breaking through the foundation. Less than half of the monks can successfully break through forcefully.
Once the breakthrough fails, the violent spiritual power in the meridians in the monk's body will instantly backfire on the fragile meridians, causing injuries that are difficult to recover from.
A monk who fails to break through in this way will take at least twenty years to fully recover from his injuries. Basically, he will miss the opportunity to build the foundation again, and his path of cultivation will come to an end. In worst cases, he will explode on the spot after the failure. , his whole body of cultivation disappeared into thin air, and his death was also extremely painful.
This also makes many talented monks like Liu Tianlong in the world of immortality, even if they can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty, they dare not easily take such a huge risk and forcibly build the foundation.
In order to improve the success rate of more monks breaking through the realm, the world of immortality has gradually developed many types of elixirs and spiritual objects that can assist monks in breaking through the realm after the research and accumulation of many top powerful monks. Among them, the most effective ones are also The one most recognized by monks is the Foundation Building Pill.
The Foundation Building Pill is a second-level elixir developed by a powerful monk in the Divine Transformation Stage in ancient times to assist monks in building the Foundation. After countless generations of high-level alchemists, it has been carefully improved and tested, and now it is indispensable for monks to build the Foundation. Something less.
When a monk builds a foundation, he needs to inhale a large amount of spiritual energy to liquefy the spiritual power in his body. Taking a foundation-building pill can mediate the large amount of spiritual power rioting in the body when the monk breaks through the foundation building.
The Foundation Building Pill can not only greatly increase the success rate of ordinary monks building foundations, but also protect the monks' meridians from too much backlash when the breakthrough fails. In this way, even if the monks fail to break through, they will not be seriously injured. After three to five years of cultivation, they will be healed. If you can recover, you still have a chance to build the foundation again.
Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is only a second-level top-grade elixir, it is very rare in the world of immortal cultivation in the Wei Kingdom. Except for the Xiaoyao Sect, the overlord here, it only occasionally flows out in the black market near the Fuyun Mountains, and its value is far higher than other second-level pills. The elixir is even more valuable than some third-level elixirs.
Refining the Foundation Building Pill is very complicated. The main medicine requires two kinds of chalcedony golden branches and five elements spiritual fruit that are more than 800 years old, as well as more than a dozen auxiliary elixirs that take one to two hundred years to mature.
These mature elixirs are difficult to find in the wild. In the entire Wei Kingdom, only the Xiaoyao Sect's elixir garden can supply all kinds of elixirs required for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill on a long-term basis.
Xiaoyao Sect also refines several batches of foundation-building pills every ten years. The maximum number of completed pills at a time is twenty or thirty. Most of them are divided up within the sect, and only a small part is sold to its meritorious members. It is difficult for the major cultivating families and even the foundation-building families to get this opportunity, let alone the lower-level Qi-refining families.
Even if you have the opportunity to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill is still high. Normally, one Foundation Establishment Pill costs 10,000 spirit stones to buy. Compared with the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill auctioned on the black market, , which is already considered very affordable.
The Song family where Song Qingming lives can only have a few dozen spiritual stones left over after all expenses are paid out in a year. In times of disaster, it needs to use some to supplement the expenses. The treasury accumulated over a hundred years only has only two to three thousand spiritual stones.
For a low-level Qi-refining family like the Song family, even if a monk with extremely talented spiritual roots appears, they can only have a chance to build a foundation by sending them to the Xiaoyao Sect.
The Xiaoyao Sect also relies on its firm control of the supply channels of the Weiguo Foundation Establishment Pills, so that it can absorb a large number of talented monks from the major immortal cultivating families under its rule, continuously enriching the sect's blood.
The water spirit fruit Liu Tianlong was looking for on this trip was the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, one of the two main ingredients needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it was extremely valuable.
The Xiaoyao Sect also purchases various elixirs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill over a long period of time. Anyone who can come up with the main medicine of the Foundation Establishment Pill that is old enough can directly exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill within the Xiaoyao Sect. A hundred years ago, The foundation-building ancestor of the Liu family also built the foundation in this way.
After the three members of the Liu family walked dozens of steps toward the blue light, they passed through a low cave entrance and the passage suddenly became wider. The blue light was a small green tree in the cave.
Liu Tianlong took a closer look and saw that this small tree was five feet in size, about the same height as him, and exuded a strong aura. There were five or six blue fruits on the tree. The fruits were crystal clear and emitted bursts of blue light. Tempting, the light the three people just saw outside was emanating from the fruits on this tree.
"Haha, this should be the water spirit fruit. The time recorded by our ancestors is indeed correct. If we had come a few years earlier, this fruit would probably not be ripe yet." Looking at one of the fruits that was completely transparent, a Liu parent said The old man laughed and said.
"Everyone, be careful and try not to damage this fruit tree. We only need to pick the ripe fruit. Later, when our Liu family trains its own second-level spiritual planter, we will find a way to transplant this water spirit fruit tree. "
The water spirit fruit tree is a second-level spiritual tree. Without a second-level spiritual planter or above, transplanting it hastily will easily cause the spiritual tree to lose its spiritual energy, lose its activity, and slowly wither. The immature spiritual fruit on it will also be lost.
If this water spirit fruit tree can be secretly transplanted to the Liu Family Ling Mountain in the future, the Liu family will be able to exchange for a foundation-building pill every hundred years, and the family will be able to prosper for a long time. This is also the biggest opportunity for all the monks of the Liu family to change their destiny.
Liu Tianlong wanted to pick off the mature water spirit fruit with his hands, but found that the second-level spirit fruit was extremely tough where it connected to the fruit tree and was difficult to pick off. He could only release a high-grade flying sword and cut off the fruit with one sword strike. .
The elders of the Liu family on the side quickly packed the water spirit fruit carefully in a jade box that had been prepared and handed it to Liu Tianlong.
Looking at this water spirit fruit that carries the hope of the family's revival, Liu Tianlong couldn't help but feel a little excited. The Liu family's road to revival has finally taken the first step in his hands.
The three of them had just picked a ripe water spirit fruit and were about to turn around and leave when they suddenly felt a terrifying spiritual pressure coming from a dark place on one side of the cave. A pair of huge eyes suddenly opened in the darkness. His red eyes were fixed on the three tiny humans in front of him.
"This is. How can there be a second-level monster here? No, run away!"
"Clan leader, leave quickly, we will help you weed your queen."
Looking at the huge black shadow in front of them, Liu Tianlong and the others couldn't help but tremble. The spiritual pressure emitted by this second-level monster was much more powerful than the previous silver-armored crab. They had been in the cave for so long. Didn't even notice it at all.
Since the Liu family found this water pool twenty years ago, they have sent monks to explore the water pool many times. Except for the silver-armored crab that just advanced, they have never seen any other second-level monsters.
How could Liu Tianlong have imagined that there were two second-level monsters hidden in this small pool.
At this moment, Liu Tianlong instantly understood that the bones of the monster beasts they saw in the cave along the way were not eaten by the second-level silver-armored crab, but the one in front of them that exuded a more powerful aura than the silver-armored crab monster. Another level two monster.
