All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.
Chapter 695 Expanding Influence
The next day, in a very ordinary herringbone-shaped bungalow at Jiuan Hotel, the cheapest hotel in Tianyun Market.
“I have established my foundation! I have established my foundation! I have established my foundation!”
Suddenly, someone's excited voice was heard in the room, and even the guests in the nearby rooms could hear it clearly.
However, the guests did not think it was very noisy. Instead, they quickly walked out of their rooms and came to the door, where they saw Wang Xiang opening the door with a happy look on his face.
When Wang Xiang moved into this room yesterday, he was sloppy with messy long hair and old clothes. He was still the same now, but his aura had become completely different. He had become a genuine foundation-building cultivator.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist! Congratulations, fellow Daoist! After years of practice, you finally got what you wanted! These six spirit stones are my gift to you for building your foundation! I hope you will support me in the future!"
A fat young monk saw that Wang Xiang had indeed made a breakthrough, and immediately took out six pieces of jade from his pocket and presented them to him, with an obvious intention of currying favor with him.
When another tall and thin middle-aged man next to him saw this, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he smiled in an instant and also gave Wang Xiang a folding fan as a gift.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, yesterday I heard you say that you would definitely break through this time, but I didn't believe you. I didn't expect you to be so sure. This magic weapon is my apology. I hope you don't mind my ignorance."
As soon as the six spirit stones and the folding fan were stuffed into Wang Xiang's hands, the third person quickly came up. She was a charming young female cultivator. She wanted to rush into Wang Xiang's arms in public. While stuffing something like a silk scarf into Wang Xiang's hands, she said to him in a coquettish voice:
"Brother Wang, I've known for a long time that you can break through the foundation-building stage. This little gift is my gift to you. I hope you can give me more guidance when you have time in the future..."
After she finished speaking, she did not forget to throw a wink at Wang Xiang, which made Wang Xiang, who had been looked down upon and ignored for many years, blush a little.
There was no way. This moment was almost the peak of Wang Xiang’s life. In his past, he might have been very happy because his spiritual roots were discovered when he was a teenager. But afterwards, he was eliminated from the test of the Immortal Sect because of his poor aptitude. He became a casual cultivator and practiced hard all the way. He was nearly forty years old and still had no hope of building a foundation. He had suffered enough sneers and contempt from people around him.
But that was all in the past. Today, he is already a genuine foundation-building cultivator. Although he is still an unknown and insignificant person in the entire world of immortal cultivation, he is considered to be a good figure in the local group of independent cultivators. In the future, he will be able to do many more things and earn spirit stones.
Just like the few people who are now gathered around him and giving him gifts, they are also independent cultivators, and are the same low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm as he was yesterday. Otherwise, they would not live in this cheapest hotel in the market town, and would not try to please him, a poor guy who suddenly became successful.
After several people congratulated him in turn, the fat monk who gave six spirit stones as a gift soon began to ask for advice humbly, hoping that Wang Xiang could give him some advice. He said:
"Brother Wang, I have tried to break through the foundation twice, and I thought I was well prepared each time, but unfortunately I failed each time. I wonder if Brother Wang can give me some advice. How can I get through this?"
After hearing the fat monk ask this question, the people gathered nearby immediately focused their attention, expecting Wang Xiang, the new foundation-building cultivator, to share some experience with them. After all, they were all facing the same problem, wanting to build a foundation but unable to succeed, which was considered a major hurdle for casual cultivators.
Normally, Wang Xiang would have said something useful at this time, but he didn't need to go into too much detail, because cultivation is ultimately a personal matter, and other people's experiences may not be applicable. But just as he was about to open his mouth, he remembered yesterday's adventure, the Dengxian Pavilion that gave him a special foundation-building pill.
"The Pavilion Master of Dengxian Pavilion asked me to promote him after I build my foundation. Should I do so? If I tell others, this secret will be known to them... But if I don't tell them, I will feel guilty about the Pavilion Master's generous gift... Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang, how can you think like this? You are such an ungrateful guy! If I don't tell them, how can I face the Pavilion Master when I return to Dengxian Pavilion in the future!"
A thought flashed through his mind, and the newly promoted foundation-building cultivator Wang Xiang made up his mind. He would not only help publicize the existence of Dengxian Pavilion, but also publicize it widely, otherwise he would be unworthy of the great help of Dengxian Pavilion.
Then the people around them soon heard Wang Xiang, who was surrounded in the center, say:
"To be honest with you, the reason why I was able to break through the foundation building today was actually because of the elixir from the Ascension Pavilion! The Pavilion Master of the Ascension Pavilion gave me a elixir that would definitely allow me to build my foundation in one day. I took it yesterday and indeed I was able to build my foundation today! There is no other trick involved!"
"Ascension Pavilion? One-Day Foundation Building Pill? Why have we never heard of it?"
"Where is the Ascension Pavilion, Brother Wang? How many spirit stones are needed to buy a foundation-building pill?"
……
Soon, the questions of several people around him overwhelmed Wang Xiang, who broke the news. Wang Xiang then told everything he knew and began to promote Dengxian Pavilion with all his strength, causing the name Dengxian Pavilion to spread among the casual cultivators in Tianyunfang City.
On the other hand, another seed sown by Wang Zhifan yesterday, the rich young master Sun Dajin, did not cause much waves.
Because he was just a teenager, what he said was not spread far and wide. Moreover, he did not tell anyone about the Ascension Pavilion. He just focused on practicing martial arts as soon as he came back, which made people feel a little unusual and even caused discussion among some servants.
"What happened to the young master today? He has been practicing martial arts desperately since morning. Has he become a martial arts fanatic?"
A maid hiding by the door saw Sun Dajin brandishing a sword and gun in the yard, and whispered to another maid next to her.
The other girl raised her hand to make a shushing gesture, then pulled her aside and answered:
"I heard from the adults that the young master went to Tianyun Market yesterday to take an exam and found that he didn't have any spiritual roots, so he couldn't enter the Tianyun Immortal Sect. Now he is very depressed, so he practices martial arts to relieve his depression... What a pity, the young master has always wanted to cultivate immortality since he was a child. Now I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to get through it. Let's not disturb him..."
The two girls thought that Sun Dajin practiced martial arts to vent his frustration of not being able to cultivate immortality, but they didn't know that Sun Dajin himself didn't think so. He actually believed that he was working hard to cultivate immortality and was preparing to do so through martial arts!
"My grandfather from Dengxian Pavilion said that as long as I reach a bottleneck in my martial arts training, he will teach me how to become an immortal through martial arts! I must work hard to reach this day as soon as possible! I, Sun Dajin, am destined to embark on the path of immortality!"
As he practiced, Sun Dajin felt as if he had divine help, and his martial arts skills seemed to be improving rapidly. Even the mortal martial arts master who was in charge of instructing him was surprised and thought to himself:
"How come Master Sun has become a different person since he came back from Tianyun Market yesterday? His martial arts are getting better and better the more he practices. I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him any more soon... But that's all. Martial arts are not good enough for the public after all. They can't be compared to cultivating immortals. Without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate immortals. No matter how good one's martial arts are, they can't withstand a blow from a flying sword from an immortal master."
Although this mortal martial artist makes his living from this, he also looks down on martial arts in his heart. It's not that he is spineless, but he has really seen immortal cultivators take action, and that is something that a martial artist cannot deal with at all. He just knows the truth.
But what he didn't know was that the young martial artist in front of him, whom he thought had very limited prospects, was about to become a legend in martial arts.
Because someone has already intended to hold him up as a benchmark and is already exerting influence.
The reason why the young martial artist is making rapid progress now is that he has received some blessing from the iris. Otherwise, he would not be able to make such rapid progress just based on his personal enthusiasm.
Sun Dajin's matter still needs some time to develop. In Tianyun Market, Wang Zhifan is still presiding over Dengxian Pavilion, trying to quickly expand the reputation of Dengxian Pavilion, and has attracted and entertained batches of new guests.
At present, he was entertaining two young cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and they were also acquaintances, the sword-controlling Taoists named Li and Zhao, whom he had talked to on the way to Tianyunfang City. However, the two young Taoists did not recognize Wang Zhifan, who was disguised as an old man from the secluded world, and it was impossible for them to find any clues with their level.
"You two, coming to the Ascension Pavilion today is a great opportunity for you. If you have any difficulties in cultivating immortals, you can tell me. The purpose of establishing this pavilion is to help people achieve enlightenment and become immortals."
After bringing in these two foundation-building monks, Wang Zhifan, disguised as an old man, spoke to them in a mysterious tone, making them look at each other with surprised and suspicious expressions.
"Do you have the legendary Good Fortune Pill? Taking one pill can make you an immortal!"
The taller Taoist named Li spoke quickly, and his words were very loud, trying to test the background of the mysterious old man in front of him.
As a result, Wang Zhifan did not seem surprised at all. He just flicked his finger and a glowing pill emitting powerful spiritual power flew out from the huge container behind him and stopped above the two men's heads. The huge spiritual power instantly pressed the two men to the ground, making it difficult for them to breathe, let alone move at all.
"My two friends, as the saying goes, one must walk one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. You want the Good Fortune Pill, and I can certainly give it to you. But do you have the ability to get it? Can you afford the price to buy it? I don't need to say more..."
After giving the two guys who wanted to test him a heavy blow and letting them know what kind of existence they were facing, Wang Zhifan immediately took the so-called Good Fortune Pill back into the container, relieved the huge pressure on the two, and then said to them who crawled up from the ground with shocked expressions:
"I'll ask you again, what do you want? Remember to think before you ask. Each person only has one chance."
This time, the two foundation-building cultivators were much more obedient. The Taoist named Zhao spoke first:
"My Immortal! I want a Golden Yuan Pill! I will use it when I break through the Jindan stage in the future!"
"My Immortal! Please grant me a gold-based elixir-forming technique!"
The monk named Li, who had just spoken so loudly, also hurriedly followed suit, fearing that he would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As they are in the foundation-building stage, it is more reasonable for them to want something that can reach the next level of the Jindan stage. The white-bearded old man disguised by Wang Zhifan nodded and replied:
"You are a teachable young man! I can satisfy all your requests, but you two must first fulfill one of my requests before you can receive them. After all, there is no such thing as free lunch. I'm sure you all know that."
"Please speak, Immortal Senior! We will go through fire and water for you!"
After hearing this, the foundation-building cultivators named Li and Zhao said in unison, with a determined expression on their faces, as if they were willing to die for Wang Zhifan, which almost made Wang Zhifan burst out laughing.
In fact, their behavior was normal. In their opinion, the person who had just casually taken out the magic pill and crushed them with the leaked aura was almost an immortal, and was a big shot whom they had to curry favor with no matter what.
But in fact, Wang Zhifan didn't ask them to do anything difficult, just help with publicity, and then replied calmly:
"You don't need to go through fire and water. You just need to spread the name of my Ascension Pavilion everywhere. You need to recruit no less than 100,000 cultivators from ten lands within seven days. After that, the elixirs and skills will be on your desks."
After saying that, he waved his hand and moved the two old acquaintances out of the Ascension Pavilion. As for whether they would accept the task and do his bidding well, it all depended on their own thoughts. If they couldn't grasp the opportunity even if it was given to them, they could only blame no one else.
As for why Wang Zhifan arranged them to go to various places for publicity, it was to make the best use of their talents. He knew that these two people were good at sword-wielding and were very suitable for publicity in multiple places, so he made such arrangements.
On the streets of Tianyunfang City, when Li Zhuoran and Zhao Chun appeared, they immediately wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Their behavior was quite different from that in Dengxian Pavilion just now.
"Brother Zhao, could that just be an illusion?"
Li Zhuoran, who was taller, looked at his friend in disbelief and behaved quite cautiously.
"It must be some kind of advanced illusion. How could there be immortals in Tianyun Market? There must be a master who is teasing us on purpose."
Zhao Chun nodded and replied, also unable to believe what he had just experienced.
"Then the Immortal Ascension Pavilion entrusted..."
Li Zhuoran asked hesitantly.
"It must be completed! Even if he is not an immortal, he is definitely not someone we can afford to offend! It's just some publicity, it won't cause much trouble. Even if there is no reward in the end, it can leave a good impression on the master!"
Zhao Chun thought about it and replied decisively, with a very clear attitude.
"That makes sense... We are just casual cultivators, and our cultivation is not that high. It is a chance for us to meet a master... Then, in order to complete the task as quickly as possible, should we act separately?"
Li Zhuoran nodded and analyzed.
"It is better for the 100,000 cultivators in 10 lands in 7 days to separate. Then Brother Li, I will see you in 7 days. I hope we are not fooled in vain."
After a conversation, the two men flew away on their swords in two directions and started their own actions.
But whether they will really do as Wang Zhifan asks is not certain. After all, people are fickle, and they may give up when they encounter difficulties halfway through the work.
Wang Zhifan was not worried that they would just give him a perfunctory answer. As a being with the power of time and space, he could see exactly what they did every day, even down to the minute details of every second, so the inspection would be very easy and there would be no possibility of being deceived.
