Chapter 137 Foundation Building Pill
There is a barren mountain eight hundred miles away from Qinglan Valley.
This mountain is red all over and has no grass growing on it. It is called Yanyang Mountain. Chunyang Cave is carved in this mountain.
The reason why there is no grass growing on Yanyang Mountain is because there is an inexhaustible underground fire spirit vein at the foot of the mountain. Due to its influence, the spiritual energy nearby is too overbearing, and most plants cannot withstand it.
When a green treasure ship arrived at Yanyang Mountain from Qinglan Valley.
Jiang Changqing came out with three true disciples and fifteen registered disciples, and Yu Xiao was among the group and walked at the end.
"Elder Jiang!"
A burly old man with red hair saluted with his fists clasped.
Jiang Changqing bowed and said, "Brother Yuan, long time no see!"
According to Yu Xiao, this old man named Yuan Lie once served as the elder of Qinglan Valley, but he was not very famous. He retired due to his advanced age and became a senior priest.
The skills he practices are extremely masculine and powerful.
Therefore, he brought a group of disciples to the sect to guard Yanyang Mountain.
No matter what, since he has served as an elder, he must have truly cultivated himself by building a foundation.
Qinglan Valley has not only more than twenty elders in public, but also a group of worshippers like Yuan Lie.
They are either junior foundation-building cultivators who have just broken through the Qi Refining stage, or retired foundation-building cultivators like Yuan Lie.
The foundation of the sect.
Deeper than you think.
"How is Brother Yuan preparing?"
As the de facto elder of Qinglan Valley, Jiang Changqing's status is definitely far above Yuan Lie. Calling him senior brother is purely a sign of respect for the older generation.
"Hahaha, don't worry, Elder Jiang, the fire control formation is stable, and the pure yang earth fire is active as expected. It's a good time to make pills!"
"it is good!"
Two more beams of light arrived.
Accompanied by a powerful breath.
Two important figures from Qinglan Valley wearing green robes of elders came to Chunyang Cave.
One of them had an elegant and handsome temperament, holding a jade slip in his left hand and a sheathed sword in his right hand.
The other person was a beautiful woman with a cold and arrogant temperament. She kept strangers away from her. Wherever she passed, the hot air turned icy cold.
"Elder Pei, Elder Ji!"
Yuan Lie and Jiang Changqing both bowed in greeting.
When Yu Xiao saw the two people, his heart was slightly moved. They were two top bosses of the sect again!
The cultivator with the book and sword in his hand was named Pei Yuquan, and the beautiful woman with a cold temperament was named Ji Baishuang.
These two people.
He is the elder of Qinglan Valley.
There are also those who have reached the late stage of foundation building.
Pei Yuquan is known as the "Qinglan Sword Immortal". From the title, it can be seen that he is a sword cultivator, and sword cultivators are recognized as the best in attack among all types of cultivators.
Physical cultivation only focuses on physical fitness and strong overall abilities.
If we simply compare attack power, he is still inferior to sword cultivators.
Ji Baishuang is Lu Lingyun's master. The martial arts he practices are very special, and he is also the top practical school among Qinglan's true practitioners.
Qinglan Valley only refines the Foundation Establishment Pill once every five or even ten years.
This is related to Qinglan Valley.
And the collective interests of the seven factions.
Therefore, the sect attaches great importance to it.
Not only do they have Jiang Changqing and Yuan Lie, two people in the middle stage of foundation building, but they also sent out Pei Yuquan and Ji Baishuang, two top-level practical elders.
"Get into formation!"
At Yuan Lie's order, the Yanyang Mountain protection formation was activated. This formation was created with the spiritual power of Yanyang Mountain. Even a Jindan Zhenren could not break it immediately. It was enough to isolate all interference outside the formation.
Inside Yanyang Mountain, Yuan Lie led his disciples to assist, and Pei Yuquan and Ji Baishuang were the guardians.
Such careful preparation.
It can ensure that the refining process is foolproof.
Yu Xiao has been in the sect for more than ten years. This is the first time he has seen such a scene and the first time he has seen so many foundation-building cultivators. It can be said that he has broadened his horizons greatly.
Enter the cave.
Saw the Pure Yang Fire Well.
It is a large man-made pit, covered with numerous formations, but even so, one can still feel the hot energy.
"The time has come!"
When the opportunity to refine the elixir is ripe.
Jiang Changqing took out an eight-legged alchemy furnace and placed it on the fire well.
Yuan Lie unlocked the formation that sealed the underground fire well, and a breath of blazing flames was drawn out from the well.
"What a strong spiritual fire!" Although the Pure Yang Earth Fire was firmly controlled by the formation, just a wisp of breath that leaked out made the cultivators feel the heat from the bottom of their souls. One can imagine how powerful this spiritual fire is.
Alchemy.
Officially begin!
Under the command of the three true disciples.
Yu Xiao and other disciples took out the materials one by one.
Jiang Changqing scanned with his spiritual sense, and after making sure that all the materials were correct, he used his spiritual power to grab the corresponding materials and put them into the furnace. Then he controlled the temperature with one hand and performed the refining method with the other.
Various techniques.
Various techniques.
They are endless.
Yu Xiao felt quite dazzled.
This kind of internship opportunity is really rare.
Even if you just watch, you can understand all the mysteries.
Jiang Changqing put the materials for the foundation-building pill into the earth fire furnace one by one according to the order and rhythm, and then controlled the pure yang earth fire to temper it in various ways.
Various materials and essences.
Being decomposed or fused under the superb alchemy technique.
The energy generated in this process is amazing. If the alchemy furnace was not of extraordinary quality, it would have exploded by now... The complicated refining process lasted for a quarter of an hour, and finally reached the most critical stage of pill condensation!
"rise!"
Jiang Changqing shouted, and the sound of tigers and leopards thundering filled the air. Along with the blooming of rays of light, a shining pill flew out of the furnace.
A vision appeared.
The elixir is ready.
The foundation-building pill was successfully refined!
Jiang Changqing immediately activated the jade box to put the pills into it.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is a very precious elixir, so it naturally requires a special material container to prevent the efficacy from weakening over time.
The first refining was successful.
This is undoubtedly a good sign.
Jiang Changqing felt that he was in a very good condition, so he continued to refine the pills in one go. In the end, he spent a whole day and night, refined the pills forty-six times, and refined thirty-eight pills!
Considering the difficulty of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This success rate of pill making is already very good.
Take any of these outside.
Not to mention the independent cultivators, even the major forces and sects would fight for it!
Yu Xiao watched the whole process and saw how Jiang Changqing handled the materials, how he skillfully used alchemy, and how he remedied unexpected situations.
very exciting.
Benefited a lot!
I have a new understanding of the art of alchemy.
This time when he returns, the first-level alchemy he has practiced may be able to reach a higher level.
If he could go one step further, with his Qi Refining Stage cultivation and first-level alchemy skills, he would be able to refine most second-level pills.
Even if one's cultivation level breaks through to the foundation-building stage in the future and masters more advanced alchemy techniques, this foundation will allow one to have a higher level of accomplishment than other alchemists.
Simultaneously.
With the project successfully completed.
As a member of the project team, you can receive a large bonus, including spirit stones and three earth-level merit tokens.
really not bad!
This project is pretty easy.
It only took three months.
Yu Xiao began to think about how to make good use of these resources. After all, he would soon enter the stage of impacting body casting and even foundation building.
Jiang Changqing spent a day and a night refining the elixir. Although he used elixirs to recover several times in the middle, he still felt quite weak and exhausted at this moment.
When facing the present.
Thirty-eight suspended jade boxes.
Jiang Changqing was quite proud.
After all, apart from him, no one among the seven major sects could refine so many high-quality foundation-building pills at one time.
And there are these foundation-building pills.
In the next five to ten years, it will be enough to train many foundation-building monks for the seven major sects!
"Congratulations, Elder Jiang!" Yuan Lie walked up to him and bowed: "The refining of the foundation-building pill was completed successfully beyond expectations!"
Jiang Changqing replied, "This is all thanks to Senior Brother Yuan's help in stabilizing the formation of the Earth Fire Array for me..."
however.
The words were not finished.
Something unexpected happened.
Yuan Lie's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his hands suddenly turned as black as ink, and he struck out from the air with lightning speed.
This blow.
Unexpectedly, the elixir is now ready.
Everyone was on edge the whole day.
Now is the time to relax.
Even Pei Yuquan and Ji Baishuang, two top masters in the late Qi Refining stage, were unable to react in time.
Jiang Changqing’s cultivation level is not low.
Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to launch a sneak attack.
But at this moment, he had consumed a huge amount of mana and refined thirty-eight foundation-building pills. He was weak at the moment and naturally had no time to respond.
There was a muffled sound.
Jiang Changqing was like being bombarded. The defensive restrictions of his top-grade robe were all shattered, and a terrifying force instantly knocked him dozens of meters away.
"Master!"
Chen Xiaoyu, Wenhua and others were horrified upon seeing this and rushed forward to rescue.
"Yuan Lie!"
"What do you want to do?!"
Pei Yuquan and Ji Baishuang were both furious.
Yuan Lie is an elder of Qinglan Valley who has guarded Yanyang Mountain for decades. No one would have thought that such a person would attack the elders and betray the sect.
why?
Grab the foundation-building pill?
But he is already in the middle stage of foundation building.
What's the use of this foundation-building pill?
"not good!"
Unable to react in time.
Yuan Lie had already snatched all the treasure boxes containing the Foundation Establishment Pills, and his originally mature and dignified face was now filled with a distorted smile.
“Hahaha, hahahaha, got it, got it!”
"He is not Yuan Lie!"
Jiang Changqing was seriously injured and dying but he had not lost his will. When his consciousness felt the black handprint on his chest, especially the poisonous corpse qi that filled his meridians, he realized that this person was not Yuan Lie at all.
Yuan Lie's martial arts are extremely masculine and his attacks will never cause such an effect.
But it's hard to understand.
There were two people in the late foundation building stage at the scene.
How could this counterfeit Yuan Lie disguise himself so well that even his aura and temperament are exactly the same as Yuan Lie's?
"It's the Yinshi Sect!"
Ji Baishuang analyzed the identity, "This is the phantom corpse of the three corpses controlled by the Yin Corpse Sect Master. After killing someone and absorbing their energy, this corpse can transform and disguise itself as the person being killed, almost perfectly."
While talking.
Pei Yuquan drew his sword without hesitation.
A dazzling sword light almost instantly tore through the space, like a white rainbow piercing the sun and directly fell on "Yuan Lie".
The sword cultivator’s attack power is terrifying.
But Pei Yuquan didn't dare to use his full strength.
Because the Foundation Establishment Pill is in the hands of the fake Yuan Lie at the moment, if he uses too much force and the sword energy destroys the Foundation Establishment Pill, the loss will be too great.
"Yuan Lie"'s true form was revealed.
It was a monster with pale hair, skinny body and hideous face.
"It is indeed the phantom corpse of the Three Corpses Taoist!" Pei Yuquan's expression suddenly became solemn, and the Three Corpses Taoist he was referring to was the leader of the Yinshi Sect.
The Yinshi Sect was another branch established by the remnants of the demonic Xuanyin Sect after its demise seven thousand years ago. This sect is extremely skilled in raising, refining, and controlling corpses!
The contemporary sovereign.
Real name unknown.
He calls himself the Taoist of Three Corpses.
This sect leader not only has perfected his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, but has also refined three extremely powerful Dharma corpses.
The three corpses are: phantom corpse, blood corpse, and mad corpse.
Three Dharma corpses.
Their abilities vary.
Ji Baishuang has already talked about the abilities of the phantom corpse.
The real Yuan Lie should have died at the hands of the Three Corpses Taoist long ago, and he also let the phantom corpse suck Yuan Lie's blood and essence.
After obtaining the blood essence, the phantom corpse can transform into Yuan Lie's appearance in the next few months and is almost impossible to detect.
This is what the Three Corpses Taoist did.
The purpose must be the foundation-building pill.
Just as Ji Baishuang was about to take action, two figures attacked from the left and right, each emitting the aura of a mid-stage foundation building stage.
Not a living person.
A bloody corpse.
A burly Dharma corpse.
Pei Yuquan's expression was solemn: "Illusion Corpse, Blood Corpse, Crazy Corpse, it's indeed the Three Corpse Thief!"
Ji Baishuang's face was as cold as frost and he snorted coldly: "Get out!"
"Hahaha!"
Accompanied by a laugh.
A man walked out from among the disciples of Chunyang Cave.
When the disguise was removed, it was revealed that there was a white-haired old man with wrinkled skin and a sinister face, and his clothes had turned into a black Taoist robe.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I will accept this batch of foundation-building pills without hesitation!"
While talking.
All thirty-eight foundation-building pills flew to his side.
"you dare?"
"court death!"
Pei Yuquan and Ji Baishuang were naturally furious, and immediately attacked and killed this evil demon cultivator.
however.
at this time.
The three Dharma corpses blocked the way.
They all have the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building.
Even Pei Yuquan and Ji Baishuang, who were extremely powerful, were unable to break through quickly.
This gave the Three Corpses Taoist some time to cast a spell. He cast a spell on the foundation-building pill floating in front of him, then waved the dust in his hand and whispered:
"go with!"
next moment!
Thirty-eight jade boxes.
They all turned into streams of light and scattered, flying away quickly in different directions.
The Taoist Sanshi had already taken control of Chunyang Cave a month ago, so he made some changes to the Yanyang Mountain formation.
These foundation-building pills will ignore the constraints of the formation and disperse to dozens of different locations, and the Yinshi Sect will be there to pick them up.
Even if Qinglan Valley discovered it in time and sent people to pursue them, they would not be able to get back all the Foundation Establishment Pills.
At least more than half.
They will all fall into the hands of the Yinshi Sect.
After the Three Corpses Taoist sent the Foundation Establishment Pill away, he felt that his mission was accomplished. Now he was looking at the Qinglan Valley cultivator who was fighting with the three corpses.
“As expected of you two!” The Three Corpses Taoist waved his dust, and instantly a gust of cold wind blew up, “I will meet you in person!”
Done.
Join the battlefield.
Pei Yuquan and Ji Baishuang did not dare to be careless.
After all, the Three Corpses Taoist is in the late stage of foundation building just like them and has already reached the great perfection of foundation building!
Yu Xiao faced a series of misfortunes.
He was shocked at first.
Didn't expect this to happen.
This Taoist priest Sanshi is so powerful!
The three-headed corpses he refined were all in the middle stage of foundation building, and could even delay the two top fighters of Qinglan Valley for a while.
at this time.
Yu Xiao's heart suddenly moved.
Can the Yinshi Sect's technique of refining and controlling corpses be promoted and used in the Red Moon World?
To know.
Red Moon World.
There are zombies everywhere.
There is an inexhaustible supply of various corpse refining materials.
There are also top-level demon corpses that can be captured.
If the Yinshi Sect's magic can be used in the Red Moon World, it will undoubtedly bring tremendous changes to the Red Moon World!
Other than that.
Yu Xiao also realized.
Although this incident poses a huge threat to Qinglan Valley, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!
Aren’t you worried about not being able to get the Foundation Establishment Pill?
If you want to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill by accumulating merits, you will need to accumulate at least dozens of Earth-level contributions!
What's more, Yu Xiaoming's cultivation level is only the fifth level of Qi Refining. Even if he wants to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the sect will most likely not give it to him.
it's good now!
You can fish in troubled waters!
This chaos is a great opportunity for him!
(PS: I have to go back home to celebrate the festival today. I don’t have much time on the way, so the number of words is a bit shorter. I’m too busy and can only write this much.)
