Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 41: Novice Protection Period???
After a while, Zhao Shuang followed the blue-clothed servant to the second-floor room for entertaining VIPs, which was also the VIP room of Wanbao Tower.

As soon as he stepped in, the servant in blue asked Zhao Shuang to sit down first, then served him a cup of fragrant tea and went to find the owner of Wanbao Tower.

Not long after, the shopkeeper of Wanbaolou walked into the VIP room with a smile on his face, bowed and said with a smile.

"I am the owner of Wanbao Tower. Daoist Fellow needs materials and herbs, and I have already sent people to prepare them. Daoist Fellow, please wait a moment."

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang raised his eyebrows, his face showing confusion and surprise.

Because the person who came was actually a beautiful woman in a blue palace dress, and her elegant and refined face was somewhat similar to Chen Qiaoqian.

The most important thing is that the other party is a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

The previous times he came in different identities, he was only entertained by an ordinary shopkeeper.

"It seems that fellow Daoist has been here before, and he has just established his foundation. I will only entertain cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, and as for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, I will naturally leave it to others to take care of them."

Seeing this, the beautiful woman in blue palace dress who looked somewhat similar to Chen Qiaoqian, her beautiful eyes lit up and she also noticed Zhao Shuang's confusion. She opened her mouth slightly, exhaled orchid-like breath and smiled sweetly as she explained.

"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion, fairy."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

That’s right, we can’t let mortals entertain Foundation Establishment cultivators. This is too disrespectful to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, it seems that Wanbao Tower should be the property of the Chen family, one of the three major families in Huangfeng Valley.

It really surprised him, but it was just a Wanbao Tower, and the plot didn't introduce it in detail, so he naturally didn't ask too much about it.

Of course, this is normal. Without strong enough connections, how could one build such a large shop in the Huangfeng Valley Market to sell various talisman materials, magic tools, medicinal materials, pills, etc.

This also requires sufficient foundation and channels. Moreover, a family of immortal cultivation as large as the Chen family naturally cannot rely solely on the name of the three major families of Huangfeng Valley and Huangfeng Valley to survive.

Zhao Shuang thought it was normal to have his own business and even a spirit stone mine.

After figuring this out, Zhao Shuang felt relieved and no longer had any doubts.

"You are so polite, fellow Daoist. However, I cannot prepare all the materials and herbs you want. I hope you can forgive me."

The girl from the Chen family in the blue palace dress bowed, a look of apology appearing on her pretty face.

Of course, there is no other way around this. If it is a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, Wanbao Tower can provide him with not only materials and medicinal herbs, but even elixirs as long as there are enough spirit stones.

But cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage need ingredients for elixirs, and medicinal materials are much harder to come by.

Even if Wanbaolou wanted to get it, it was not an easy thing, and in most cases, they were all booked early, so there was no chance for new guests like Zhao Shuang.

"You are too polite, Fairy. How could I blame you? After all, those materials are scarce. It is normal that your building does not have them."

Zhao Shuang seemed nonchalant.

What he said was true. The entire Tiannan cultivation world is now extremely short of resources, not to mention the Yue Kingdom.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Lei Wanhe to spend several years traveling around the world looking for medicinal herbs and materials to refine pills.

Even Han Li had to spend a long time and put in a lot of effort before he was able to find all the necessary herbs, elixirs, and materials to refine the elixir that would improve his foundation-building period.

This is when Han Li possesses the Palm of Heaven Bottle, a treasure that can ripen elixirs.

As for other cultivators, it is naturally even more difficult.

Zhao Shuang is better, but he doesn't have the "Heavenly Bottle", the golden finger that ripens the elixir, so he needs to buy the cultivation resources himself.

Fortunately, he still had a lot of essence energy from refining monsters in the Demon Refining Pot, plus his tenfold cultivation talent and the Demon Refining Pot's accelerated time. However, he found that he seemed to have passed the novice protection period, and the Demon Refining Pot's accelerated cultivation required essence energy or spirit stones to support and maintain.

It is also possible that it was originally in the Demon Refining Pot, but it has been used up now.

The ten times the speed of cultivation, to be more precise, should be the ten times the speed of refining. It requires cultivation resources, spirit stones, and pills, which makes him a big eater.

In the past, those in the Qi Refining Stage could rely on the essence of vital energy and spirit stones in the Demon Refining Pot, and on elixirs to satisfy their needs. But now, that is no longer enough, and they need more.

He speculated that it might be possible that the Director of the Space Administration had done a paternity test.

In short, the most important thing now is the spirit stone, and he doesn't have a golden finger for quick success, so he can only rely on the help of kind people temporarily.

"I hope you can understand."

The beautiful woman in blue palace attire has an increasingly charming smile, full of enchanting power that bewitches everyone, making it difficult to look away.

Charm skills!

Seeing this, two words popped up in Zhao Shuang's mind. Almost all female cultivators among mortals would practice charm skills to a greater or lesser extent, not only to increase their beauty.

It can also charm men and gain their favor and benefits.

However, it had little impact on Zhao Shuang. Instead, it made his face slightly gloomy and his eyes looked a little more unfriendly.

Seeing this, the girl from the Chen family, who was wearing blue palace dress, had a look of surprise and astonishment in her beautiful eyes.

She had never expected that Zhao Shuang, a cultivator who had just established his foundation, would be unaffected by her charm.

Although she did not use her full strength, even a cultivator of the same level in the middle stage of foundation building would be affected.

But since Zhao Shuang was not affected, she would not continue, so as not to disgust Zhao Shuang, but she became more curious about Zhao Shuang's identity.

He remembered that these two years were the period when the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators among Huangfeng Valley disciples was the highest.

After all, it is not only the disciples who participate in the bloody trial and obtain enough spiritual medicines that can obtain the foundation-building pill.

The number of foundation-building pills refined by Huangfeng Valley would not be so small. Some Huangfeng Valley disciples with special identities or who had made great contributions in the past would also receive foundation-building pills.

For example: Dong Xuaner.

It took three or four foundation-building pills to successfully build the foundation.

Chen Qiaoqian could have done it, but it was her fault that she lost the foundation-building pill, which is a serious crime.

If she wasn't the daughter of the Chen family, she would have been punished long ago.

However, Chen Qiaoqian's elder brother did not get the second foundation-building pill due to his lack of talent and potential.

After all, Chen Qiaoqian’s elder brother is not Dong Xuaner, and he doesn’t have a Jindan stage cultivator as his master, so it is naturally impossible for him to have a second foundation-building stage.

And if it weren't for Chen Qiaoqian's elder brother, Chen Qiaoqian would never have been able to get the second foundation-building pill, let alone build the foundation.

It's just that she has better talent and luck. Without Han Li this time, she may not have to die of depression in the future.

Zhao Shuang did not provoke Chen Qiaoqian, he just took away the foundation-building pill.

This was only because I had a good impression of him in my previous life, otherwise I would have killed him to silence him long ago.
