Chapter 959 Foundation Building
Facts have proved that Lu Wenyuan’s luck is not bad.
It’s not like every time we go to a place, the Immortal Cultivation Sect there will immediately start a war between good and evil...
He has done so much preparation work in advance, which is still valuable.
After becoming the 20th in the competition, the Foundation Establishment Pill fell firmly into his hands.
After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Wenyuan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately announced his retreat.
His qualifications cannot be said to be bad, so after taking two foundation-building pills, he successfully liquefied the mana in his Dantian, promoted him to the foundation-building stage, and increased his lifespan to two hundred years!
After consolidating the seclusion for a period of time, Lu Wenyuan then Shi Shiran came out of seclusion. He first went to the head to register and report, received various benefits for foundation-building disciples, and exchanged tokens.
Then, he went to the Mission Hall and issued a mission, asking several outer disciples to bring the news of their successful foundation building and a letter to the Taiqing Lu family.
This allows the Lu family to borrow his 'power' as a foundation-building monk of the Alchemy Sect, so that they can be more calm in the face of the persecution from those two families.
Moreover, he also promised in the letter that he would try his best to get a Foundation Building Pill for the family.
After doing these things, Lu Wenyuan felt refreshed, and his family ties were much reduced, so they would not become a mental obstacle in his cultivation.
"Finally... the foundation building is successful. From now on, the golden elixir with a lifespan of 500 years will be the next target!"
…
This day.
Inside Lu Wenyuan’s new cave.
The bottom of an alchemy furnace was burning with raging flames, and a lot of alchemy energy came out.
Lu Wenyuan sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, frowning slightly, adjusting the firepower.
Phew!
At this moment, a transmission note flew in.
He frowned, then ignored it, and continued to mix the dragon and tiger, neutralize the potency, and open the furnace to get the elixir...
"The second-level low-grade Dragon Ginseng Pill is quite effective in improving mana for monks in the early stage of foundation building, but its effect is reduced by half in the middle stage..."
Lu Wenyuan tasted the elixir, nodded, put away the elixir furnace, and then picked up the transmission note, his expression became a little weird: "Is it her?!"
He thought for a while, then arranged his clothes and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, on a flying boat, there were several fellow foundation builders standing impressively.
One of the women was wearing a green skirt, with jade-like skin and radiant light: "Is this Junior Brother Lu who just successfully established the foundation?"
"I, Lu Wenyuan, have met Senior Sister Dongfang Qing and Senior Brother Wang Qiao!"
Lu Wenyuan bowed slightly.
Dongfang Qing returned the gift, while Wang Qiao snorted coldly: "Junior brother Lu has such a bad temper that he made me wait for so long!"
"I was just refining the elixir, and I couldn't get out. Please forgive me!"
Lu Wenyuan glanced at Wang Qiao. This monk who was said to have a treasure body was very ordinary in appearance, with triangular eyes and an upturned nose... It was rare among monks to be so ugly.
Moreover, he vaguely heard that this man fell in love with Dongfang Qing at first sight and seemed to want to form a Taoist couple with him, but Dongfang Qing never agreed.
In the eyes of good people, it is simply a toad that wants to eat swan meat.
‘You treat me as your love rival for no reason, trouble! ’
'Beautiful women... are more troublesome! ’
Lu Wenyuan felt depressed, clasped his fists and asked, "What does Senior Sister want from me?"
"After we become foundation-building monks, we usually have far-reaching missions. I only recently discovered that my junior brother is building foundation. How about we go together?" Dongfang Qing asked with a smile.
‘No matter what, I want to stay in a safe sect and practice to the golden elixir! ’
Lu Wenyuan rolled his eyes in his heart, knowing that Senior Sister Dongfang was also driven into panic by Wang Qiao. She probably couldn't get rid of the brown sugar, so she could only find a few more light bulbs.
But he didn't have the consciousness to act as a shield for others, so he immediately refused: "Senior sister, I don't want to travel far away!"
"Hmph, this is the rule of our Alchemy Sect. Do you want to resist?" Wang Qiao snorted coldly.
"I really don't want to do this task!"
Lu Wenyuan nodded: "As far as I know, there are regulations in the sect. The second-level alchemist does not need to take on dangerous tasks. Even if it is a mandatory task in the foundation building period, it can be replaced by alchemy."
After all, they are important production-oriented talents. If they are used to travel and fight, what if they die?
Training a second-level alchemist is definitely more expensive than training ten foundation-building monks!
"Second level? Could it be that, junior brother, you are already a second level alchemist?"
Dongfang Qing's eyes lit up.
"After being promoted to the foundation building stage and earning a little bit, I will apply for the assessment someday..."
Lu Wenyuan said: "Therefore, please forgive me, I really can't obey my order."
After saying that, he ignored Dongfang Qing's expression of wanting to continue saying a few words and returned directly to the cave.
"Senior sister, this guy is disrespectful and as timid as a mouse. Let's go find someone else!"
Wang Qiao felt very happy when he saw Lu Wenyuan giving in.
Besides, he is not stupid. To the Alchemy Sect, a second-level alchemist is definitely worth more than him at this time.
Moreover, it is not that there is no one behind Lu Wenyuan.
If he rushes into conflict with the other party, he may be the one who suffers in the end!
"All right……"
Dongfang Qing sighed regretfully, steered the boat and flew in another direction.
…
"Let's take the test of the second-level alchemist first. At this stage, you can refine elixirs that can increase your cultivation in the foundation-building period. It's just a little treasure to put in the alchemy gate. You don't have to worry about safety. You can concentrate on your cultivation. At most, you can help occasionally. The sect refined several furnaces of pills..."
Lu Wenyuan had already planned it.
As for travel missions, they are mainly for increasing knowledge, looking for opportunities, and gaining experience in fighting skills, etc.
He asked himself that he had grasped the greatest opportunity and could not be greedy. As early as when he was young, he had experienced great events and had no shortage of character. As for fighting? Even monks in the foundation building stage cannot withstand their own tactics of bombardment with spiritual symbols. Not to mention that in the foundation building stage, the items that can be recalled and taken out become more and more powerful.
As long as the equipment is equipped, during the foundation building period, he thinks it is enough to protect himself.
As for the last question, it is about the state of mind and inner demons when forming the elixir.
Lu Wenyuan also considered this aspect. First of all, the mental test when forming the pill was not too strong, and he could handle it.
In this kind of resource-flow cultivation, in fact, before Yuanying, you don't have to pay too much attention to the problem of inner demons.
As for when something really goes wrong, there are solutions.
For example, the secret elixir of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect - the 'Devil Subduing Pill', has the supreme effect of removing inner demons, and is widely believed to increase the possibility of forming an elixir.
This kind of elixir has already reached the third level of the best, and it requires a millennium elixir. It is not something that he can refine now, and it is not something that most foundation-building monks can even imagine.
However, he can find connections to attend the elixir meeting of the ancestor of the Golden elixir. If he has a chance to meet him, he can take advantage of it...
With the resources that the Alchemy Cauldron Sect has, it is enough for him to practice to the Dan-forming stage, and he will only have to go out to look for opportunities to condense the infants in the future.
