Chapter 48: Refining the Foundation-Building Pill, Cultivation Soars
Jia Zhen was not at all slow and decisive.

Anyway, he had just recently obtained 5,000 taels from the Xu family under some pretext, so the worst that could happen was that he could pay 15,000 taels himself.

As long as I can get the favor of the big shot behind me, I will throw the 20,000 taels into the dog's mouth immediately!
Moreover, if Xu Hao is killed, the Xu family will have no backing. Then how he wants to control the Xu family will be just a matter of a word.
The entire Xu family has much more than 20,000 taels!

By then, you will have made money and gained the favor of important people, killing two birds with one stone.

Even the position of general flag left by Xu Hao after his death can be given to someone from his own faction.

Kill three birds with one stone.

"Lord Jia is indeed generous." Captain Liu was overjoyed and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Jia Zhen pulled out a silver note from his pocket, which was still wet, and then took out a gem and handed it to Captain Liu. "This is worth twenty thousand taels, no more, no less. I only ask one thing of you, Captain Liu, and that is to show no mercy!"

"Don't worry, Xu Hao is dead. I said, even the Jade Emperor can't save him!" Captain Liu took the banknotes and gems, counted the banknotes briefly, and immediately smiled.

As long as he obtains the Strength-Condensing Pill, he will have every chance of reaching the Half-Step Earth Realm within these three days.

The reason why I left a time of three days was to give myself enough time to contact him.

No, that's enough time.

Captain Liu chatted with Jia Zhen for a few more words, then stood up and ran towards Fengyu Tower with the silver bills and gems.

While Jia Zhen and Captain Liu were planning, Xu Hao also came to the Pacification Office.

Xu Hao had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the place where he had met Tang Wan'er.

"Are you here?" Tang Wan'er saw Xu Hao approaching and immediately stood up. She then took down a long sword from behind her and handed it to Xu Hao. "This is a top-level human-grade long sword. After being engraved by the Taoist sect, it can exert more effective power."

Xu Hao reached out and took it.

He did not listen to Tang Wan'er's explanation, and the virtual panel of chance divination was directly connected in his mind.

In an instant, a message appeared.

[The Tiger Bone Knife, crafted from the bones of a special tiger, possesses powerful lethality and penetrating power. If combined with practicing tiger-like sword techniques, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Human-level!]

Xu Hao looked at the information presented and his face lit up with joy.

This sword truly suits him, almost tailor-made for him, because he is practicing the Five Tiger Soul-Breaking Sword.

This was obviously something Tang Wan'er had carefully prepared.

I have to say that although Tang Wan'er's lineage used him to suppress other forces, the things they gave him were real!

If it is in his own interest, Xu Hao doesn't mind just going through the motions.

Xu Hao drew out his long sword, waved it casually, and soon said with satisfaction, "Thank you!"

"Well, you can practice the elixir slowly. Three days is not a long time, but it should allow you to make further progress!" Tang Wan'er said with concern.

"Don't worry!" Xu Hao retracted his sword, clasped his fists in salute, then turned and left.

Now that he has the weapon, all he needs to do next is practice.

Tang Wan'er looked at Xu Hao's back, pondered for a moment, beckoned over a pacification officer, and then ordered, "Go keep an eye on Captain Liu. If you have any news, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

The strong men from the Pacification Office left quickly.

When Xu Hao walked out of the Pacification Office, he went straight to the Xu family without stopping at all.

"Xiao Hao, why are you here so early today?" Xu Qianzhi was sitting in the middle hall of the Xu family, looking at Xu Hao comfortably.

Because of Xu Hao's promotion and the fact that he has to take a break recently, Xu Qianzhi is happy to be a rich man without the worries of his career.

"Well, I'm the general commander after all, so I can leave the routine patrols to my subordinates!" Xu Hao responded, and then said directly, "I'm going back to practice later. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me!"

"Okay!" Xu Qianzhi nodded.

Xu Hao then returned to his room.

He closed the door immediately.

Xu Hao sat down cross-legged, and first practiced the Taotie method to sort out his own energy and spirit, then he took out the Essence and Blood Pill given by Tang Wan'er.

He hadn't examined the elixir closely at the time, nor had he used divination to check it. Now that he had time, Xu Hao had to determine if it was risky.

[Essence and Blood Pill, refined from a variety of precious medicinal herbs, can promote the cultivation of blood and marrow. It is a rare elixir for body refining. However, due to the refining method, it contains elixir poison. You can only take a maximum of three pills. Human rank.]

"There is no hidden risk, but there is still erysipelas!" Xu Hao shook his head.

It’s free anyway, it would be a waste not to eat it.

It would be great to be able to add a little energy.

There are a total of six objects in the porcelain bottle, all of which are warm in color.

Xu Hao picked out three good quality ones and swallowed them in one gulp.

Boom.

The pill melted in his mouth, and tremendous energy suddenly surged out.

Xu Hao quickly used the Taotie technique to absorb and refine the energy.

Boom boom boom.

Xu Hao's breath increased rapidly.

I have to say that elixirs are elixirs. Compared with the opportunities obtained, they are still a little worse. Not to mention the energy and quality, even the refining speed is much slower.

The last time Xu Hao refined the human-level thousand-year-old stalactite, he only spent a short time to absorb the essence.

However, after refining this blood essence pill for an hour, only more than half of it was consumed, and after warming and nourishing, only a small part of the blood was condensed.

It is far inferior to the thousand-year-old stalactites.

It took another half an hour for Xu Hao to completely refine it.

Combined with his original cultivation, he has now reached four-ninths of the Blood Refining Realm.

In other words, if you use Essence and Blood Pills for cultivation, you will need at least ten Essence and Blood Pills.

"The Taotie method is a huge resource consumer. I don't know how precious the Essence Blood Pill is, but seeing as Tang Wan'er only gave away six, it must be expensive!"

Xu Hao shook his head and decided not to continue using the Essence and Blood Pill to practice.

Firstly, it's the poison, and secondly, it's too slow to refine.

Most importantly, he has better resources for cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This is the elixir for Taoist foundation building. Once the foundation is built, one will become a Taoist leader at the heavenly level.

He is only at the human level, yet he can enjoy such elixirs.

Xu Hao felt that this time, his cultivation level would not be too low.

Xu Hao calmed down his inner excitement, practiced the Taotie method, and began to adjust his energy and spirit. When his energy and spirit were full, he took out the foundation-building pill, cut a little bit of it with a dagger, and then swallowed it into his mouth.

First try the energy intensity of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

boom.

The fingernail-sized pill entered his mouth and instantly turned into tremendous energy, whistling all the way and rushing straight into his body.

"Such a powerful energy! This is the most powerful energy among all the opportunities!" Xu Hao was shocked.

The Foundation Establishment Pill only shows the Earth Grade, but as of now, it is several times more powerful than the Vajra Pill of the same level.

Even if it is Earth Grade, it is at least the top level of Earth Grade.

Xu Hao quickly gathered all his thoughts and concentrated on practicing the Taotie technique, starting to refine, devour, and impose on himself.

Xu Hao's breath expanded explosively!

Please invest and give me two coins as reward, I will be very grateful.
