Chapter 98 Exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill

The gray-feathered sand goose slowly landed and let out a proud cry.

Huang Feihu heard the voice and told the disciple next to him to go out and greet him:

"Brother, you're here. The yard is a bit messy, let's go inside and talk."

"I'll just take a look first."

Ji An walked into the courtyard, carefully checked the quantity and quality of the talisman paper, and nodded with satisfaction.

The craftsmanship of the old masters is slightly better than his, and the proportion of medium-quality talisman paper is higher.

Huang Feihu smiled innocently and said:

“The quality of the talisman grass is very good, and the craftsmanship of several of the brothers is also very strong. Everyone said that this was the easiest talisman-making experience they had ever had.

Hehe, even if you plant another ten acres of talisman grass, we can still handle it."

Ji An laughed and said:
"Let's go inside and talk when we have a chance."

He now has to work hard to improve his cultivation, but he can consider planting hundreds of acres of talisman grass after he has established his foundation.

With his attainments in planting magic, although the profit from talisman grass is not high, as long as he cooperates with Huang Feihu, it does not require much mana and time.

The two of them came into the house. Huang Feihu reported on the harvest of talisman grass and the yield rate of talisman paper, and said excitedly:
"Calculating this way, after the talisman paper is sold, the amount of spirit stones that Senior Brother will be able to obtain will be enviable."

"That's fine, Feihu, you've worked hard. I'll treat you guys to a drink later."

Ji An smiled gently. He had calculated before that the net profit in two months would be about 150 spirit stones.

"I've already told Senior Brother Wei that he'll come to you every two months to buy talisman paper. You two can connect with each other then."

A month later, the sect released information about a mandatory mission.

Within a few days, the prices of the five elements spiritual objects in various markets in Xizhou and Qingyun Fairy City began to soar.

That day, Ji An received a message from his master using a sword talisman, asking him to bring his senior sister to the cave on the top of the mountain.

Entering the cave, the two of them saluted respectfully:

"Meet the Master."

Ge Ying nodded slightly and pointed at two magical instruments and a storage bag on the table:

"The sect has negotiated with the Qingzhu Mountain Market, and after a thorough investigation, we've discovered three other unsolved cases related to that robber cultivator.

For killing this Foundation Establishment Stage Tribulation Cultivator, you will receive a reward of four hundred spirit stones.

However, that refinery shop was rented by the other party. The sect took away some of the refinery materials that were inspected, and decided to reward each of you with 2000 contribution points. Remember to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to collect them."

Both of them were delighted as they received spirit stones and earned contribution points.

Ji An bowed and said, "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't be able to get so much benefit."

"It's just a small matter," Ge Ying waved her hand and asked:
"Have you been reading the Hundred Herbs Classic seriously lately?"

"I set aside half an hour every day to study, and now I have memorized the medicinal properties and cultivation methods of more than a hundred spiritual plants suitable for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage."

Ji An said that because of the nourishment of spiritual energy, the monks have good memory and it is easy for them to learn objective knowledge.

“After you memorize all the methods for cultivating first-level spiritual medicines, remember to come find me.

Also, you've grasped the meaning of the Thick Earth Art. Starting this month, the contribution points you earn from tending the medicine garden will be doubled."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master," Ji An smiled a little wider. Now he can earn 400 contribution points every month by taking care of the medicine garden.

"You deserve it. After comprehending the Thick Earth Technique, you can more quickly raise the level of your spiritual field and significantly increase the speed at which first-level spiritual medicines accumulate their age.

By the way, the prices of the Five Elements spiritual objects have gone up a lot now, but don’t sell off the stocks you have.

Other forces have been secretly fanning the flames, so the price of spiritual objects may continue to rise. Let's wait and see for a few months."

"I understand."

Ji An smiled and said that all he had stockpiled were the essence of the five elements. These spiritual objects belonged to the category of bulk goods. Because the output was large and the consumption was also large, a 30% increase was simply a crazy increase.

If it continues to rise, he might be able to collect enough contribution points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill this year. Now he can wake up smiling in his dreams.

Ge Ying turned her gaze to the other side and asked:

"Lingyu, has your spiritual awareness training been going well recently?"

Li Lingyu nodded heavily and said with a smile:

"I clearly feel that after the battle with the Foundation Establishment cultivator, the effect of my training has improved a bit."

"A life-or-death battle can unleash a cultivator's potential. It's normal for this to be your first experience of such a battle. If you experience it a second time, the effect will be much less."

Ge Ying instructed the two on their cultivation. When they had no more questions, she waved her hand and said:

"Step back. I need to rest for a while before continuing to refine the elixir."

Now the sect is actively preparing for future demon disasters, and her alchemy task is quite heavy.

"The disciple retire."

After the two said goodbye and walked out of the cave, Li Lingyu said:
"Junior Brother, now that we have the magic weapon back, let's ask Senior Brother Zhang to estimate its value. It's time for him to return the spirit stones as he promised."

"Okay," Ji An agreed, and the two flew to Chitong Mountain together.

After finding Zhang Yuanshan, the other party estimated the value of the Huangqi magic weapon to be around 300 spirit stones.

"The magic ban is a bit crude, and the materials are wasted. If I were to refine it, it could probably increase the value of the magic weapon by fifty spirit stones."

Ji An had a deeper understanding of the power of the sect's weapon-refining heritage, and he sighed in his heart that knowledge is wealth. He took out his flying sword and handed it to the other party:

"Brother, I'll leave this top-grade magical weapon with you for consignment."

Zhang Yuanshan checked the quality of the magic weapon and showed some difficulty. He smiled bitterly and said:

"Generally speaking, cultivators who use top-grade magical instruments are those in the early stages of foundation building. This fire-attributed flying sword is of average quality. The cultivators in the sect probably won't appreciate it. The red fire crystal added to the magical instrument would be wasted."

"Let's try to keep it here for now. If it still doesn't sell in two years, we'll come back and take it away."

Li Lingyu said that she and her junior brother were ordered by their master to stay in the sect, and even if they wanted to sell their products outside, they had no chance.

"Okay, but don't get your hopes up."

Zhang Yuanshan agreed and ordered his attendants to bring up the repaired magic weapon and took out a pile of spirit stones.
"The magic weapon is severely damaged. The price of repairing it is fifty spirit stones. This is the spirit stones I owe you. Junior brother, please give me some."

One year later, General Affairs Hall.

The disciple on duty took Ji An's identity jade token and placed it on the spirit plate. He then checked the amount of the Five Elements Essence he had handed over and said:

"Brother, you are at the ninth level of Qi Refining. The amount you submitted is just right. You have completed this year's mandatory mission and received 500 contribution points."

"Thank you," Ji An nodded slightly and asked:

“How many contribution points do I have now?”

"More than 7600 contribution points."

Ji An took out 27 medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them on the table, saying calmly:

"Please help me exchange it for contribution points."

In the past six months, he sold all the Five Elements Spirit Essence that he had in his hands. His original capital was 3,000 spirit stones, but he finally got more than 4,200 spirit stones. The profit of nearly 50% made him a fortune.

He returned all the spirit stones he had borrowed from his master. Now, after exchanging them for the Foundation Establishment Pills, he still had more than 900 spirit stones left in his hand. He could definitely be considered wealthy.

The disciple on duty swallowed subconsciously as he looked at the powerful mid-grade spirit stone. He quickly put the spirit stone away, worked on the spirit disk for a while, and then handed over the jade token with both hands:
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ji! Your contribution points are now 61725. Senior Brother Tian is upstairs."

What can a disciple at the ninth level of Qi Refining exchange a large number of contribution points for? Of course, they can exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills.

Maybe if they meet again in a few years, he will bow and call the other party "uncle master".

"Happy together."

Ji An took the jade token, walked upstairs, and saw the plump and fair Tian Qingbai.

Similar to the scene when we met last time, the other party was drinking tea from a small purple clay teapot.

"Uncle Master Tian, ​​I am Ji An from the Ningcui Cliff lineage. Please help me exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill."

After introducing himself, Ji An placed his jade token in front of the other party.

"Ji An? I have an impression of you!"

Tian Qingbai remembered the name and looked at Ji An carefully for a few times, finally matching the name with the person.

The reason why he had this impression was that before he could send the list of disciples who had received spirit stones to his fellow brothers, he received a report from Ningbi Cliff, and then he knew that this disciple named 'Ji An' had been accepted as a disciple by Senior Sister Ge.

He picked up the jade token, deducted 60,000 contribution points from the spirit disk, took out a few jade slips and placed them on his forehead, saying:
“Well, I’ve already entered the information.

You can come and collect it when the sect refines the foundation-building pill next time, which means you can wait another eight years and come before mid-summer.

Tsk tsk, in eight years I’ll be calling you Junior Brother Ji.”

In addition to the master-disciple relationship, seniority has always been ranked according to one's cultivation level.

"I would like to thank my uncle for his kind words."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Ji An said goodbye and left.

Tian Qingbai watched him leave, a gleam in his eyes.

He will only be 32 years old in eight years. If he succeeds in building his foundation, his future will be very bright. Will this guy hold a grudge against me for taking his spirit stones?
He shook his head and thought:
"It's just a few spirit stones. I'll fix it after he successfully builds his foundation."

When Ji An was exchanging the Foundation Establishment Pill, Li Lingyu was waiting outside the cave on the top of Ningcui Cliff.

The forbidden door opened to reveal the passage, and she took a deep breath and walked in:

"Meet the Master."

A few days ago, she felt that it would be difficult to make any progress in her spiritual awareness by continuing to train, so she came to see her master and told him what she wanted to do.

Today, the master has already refined the foundation-building pill and notified her to come and get it.

Ge Ying nodded slightly and took out a white jade bottle:

“There’s a fine foundation-building pill inside, take it and use it.

Your own aptitude is close to top-grade, and with the help of fine elixirs, your chances of successfully building your foundation will increase by another 10%.

The pills made by alchemists can be divided into three types. Those with insufficient medicinal properties and excessive toxicity are called waste pills. Generally, such pills are discarded directly.

Normal elixirs have sufficient medicinal properties and low toxicity, and are called genuine products. These are the main elixirs circulating on the market.

If the right time and people are in place, the alchemist will be able to refine pills with naturally grown pill patterns. Such pills become high-quality pills with stronger medicinal properties and extremely low toxicity.

"Master, your kindness is so great that I cannot repay you."

The foundation-building pills she exchanged from the sect were only genuine ones. She was not eligible for the high-quality foundation-building pills that could increase the success rate.

Li Lingyu choked up a little. She knew that among her master's many disciples, she had the lowest aptitude. Her spiritual power was just average and not outstanding. She was always worried that a foundation-building pill would not be enough to build her foundation. A high-quality foundation-building pill could greatly boost her confidence.
