Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 110: Immortal Cultivation: Wealth is the First Barrier

The timing is just right now. Zhou Qing has not yet joined the Formation Court and has already promised to hand over the formation card to the sect.

Liu Wentian immediately saw a huge opportunity in this. He and the other three shopkeepers hit it off and decided to join forces with those other influential shopkeepers to send a request to the sect, and make sure to have the formation card engraved before the Formation Court came out of seclusion.

At that time, the formation will no longer belong to the Formation Court, and the Formation Court’s 30% commission will naturally be waived, and all income will belong to the sect collectively.

These shopkeepers who are on the front line naturally have ways to withhold a sufficient share.

Formations that can calm distracting thoughts are definitely bestsellers in the world of immortal cultivation. The price will never be low, and there will definitely be a lot of customers.

They manipulated the situation and gained an inestimable amount of wealth.

Lu Qingzhu said, "If we want to accomplish this, we need Zhou Qing's cooperation. We must not offend him recently. Otherwise, if he refuses to cooperate, we will suffer great losses."

Liu Wentian nodded in agreement.

If a sect's formation is to be burned and sold, it must go through a strict anti-analysis procedure.

First, many useless runes need to be added to the formation itself to confuse the true structure of the formation. Secondly, the formation for sale is not like the one used within the sect, which is engraved on the surface of the carrier, but is sealed inside the carrier to ensure that the formation runes can be destroyed immediately when the carrier is damaged.

Now all the masters of the Formation Court are in seclusion, and the two formal formation masters who are left behind to complete these two processes may not be able to do it well. Only Zhou Qing, a newcomer with the level of a formation master, can do it.

If he refuses to cooperate, all their plans will be thwarted.

……

Zhou Qing brought Qingyuan to the Sutra Library in a hurry.

There was still no sign of Patriarch Xu Jingfeng outside the Sutra Library. It seemed that he had completely handed over this responsibility to Mu Zhuosha. Or maybe he simply didn't want to see her, so he simply ignored her.

His plan was to hand Qingyuan over to Mu Zhuosha for disposal. She was the one who provoked the Changsheng Sect, so of course she had to deal with it.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment at the Sutra Library, unsure whether he could take Qingyuan upstairs. But then he heard his uncle's voice from above:

Come up.

He then took Qingyuan into the Sutra Library and finally found Mu Zhuosha on the fifth floor.

After not seeing her for a few days, Mu Zhuosha looked as if she had just emerged from a cave of the living dead. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were tattered, and her shoes were gone. She was running around barefoot on the floor of the Sutra Library.

She glanced at Zhou Qing and said, "Why did you bring this idiot here?"

It's not good to say this directly to someone's face, right?
Zhou Qing turned around and planned to explain to Qingyuan that his uncle had a bad mouth and asked her not to mind.

But Qingyuan's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he looked like he had seen a ghost, and even his body was shaking slightly.

Before Zhou Qing could speak, she screamed, breaking the silence of the Sutra Library.

"Shut up!"

Mu Zhuosha shouted loudly, and Qingyuan felt like someone was strangling her throat.

Mu Zhuosha pointed to the corner next to her and said, "Go sit there and don't move."

Qingyuan obediently walked to the corner and indeed did not move.

Zhou Qing watched all this in amazement and asked, "Master, do you know Master Qingyuan?"

"Master?"

Mu Zhuosha frowned and said, "What kind of address is this? Hey, idiot, from now on you should call him senior brother, okay?" Qingyuan nodded quickly.

Is this...bullying...

Zhou Qing couldn't stand it anymore and said, "After all, he is a guest. Shouldn't Master Uncle be more polite?"

Mu Zhuosha looked at him teasingly and said, "You have a good attitude, why don't you accompany her to play around?"

Zhou Qing said: "Just pretend I didn't say anything. Speaking of which, why is she so afraid of Uncle Shi?"

Mu Zhuosha raised her head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't remember. According to Qingmu, I killed so many people in the Changsheng Sect that I frightened this fool's soul, causing problems in her cultivation. That's why she became so stupid now."

"But I suspect this is all Qingmu's excuse. Although I was confused at the time, I wouldn't have killed anyone. And with this fool's cultivation level at the time, if I had really killed her, would she have survived? She would have died if I had just blown on her."

Zhou Qing looked at Qing Yuan, who was sitting in the corner looking pitiful and not daring to move, and said, "Then why is she so afraid of you?"

Mu Zhuosha said, "How should I know? Who cares about her? Did you come here today just to push this idiot onto me?"

Zhou Qing said: "There is another thing. I want to ask my uncle about opening up the Dantian."

Mu Zhuosha smiled and said, "What realm are you at? Are you at the second level of Qi Refining? Are you already thinking about opening up your Dantian?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared than not. Prepare everything you need in advance so that you won't be too late when the emergency comes."

Mu Zhuosha said, "You know what? Compared to other cultivators, you already have the upper hand. You will definitely have what other cultivators will lack the most."

"what?"

"Spirit Stone."

Zhou Qing asked in surprise: "Does building a foundation require a lot of spirit stones?"

Mu Zhuosha said: "Foundation building itself may not require a lot of spirit stones, but it does require other things, which must be purchased with spirit stones."

Zhou Qing asked, "What do you need?"

Mu Zhuosha said, "The essence of foundation building is to use the abundant spiritual energy to forcibly open the Qi Hai acupoint so that it can accommodate more spiritual energy."

"But there's a problem here. You insist on forcibly expanding the Qi Hai acupoint, which is perfectly fine. Won't that cause it to get hurt?"

"So when building the foundation, the first thing you need to prepare is various pills that can stabilize the Qi Hai acupoint so that it can withstand greater impacts without being completely destroyed. Then there are pills that can restore the Qi Hai acupoint, and finally, the foundation-building pills."

"The Foundation Establishment Pill can cause the spiritual energy in your body to burst and surge, providing greater power to open up the Qi Sea acupoint."

"This is just the process of opening up the Qi Hai acupoint. Even if the Qi Hai acupoint is successfully opened, it will always tend to return to its original state, just like a wound on your body will always tend to heal."

"After this opening, I'll need some elixirs to keep the Qi Sea in its opened state."

"All of these are very expensive, so to be on the safe side, we need to prepare at least three of each."

"The sect can provide some of these expenses, but the majority needs to be earned by the cultivators themselves. Countless cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation toil hard every day, running around in various dangerous places, just to earn enough money to build their foundation."

"You are different. The formation just to soothe distracting thoughts is enough for you to spend."

As expected, when cultivating the immortality, wealth is the first hurdle.

Zhou Qing figured he wouldn't be short of money in the future, so he wanted to know more about the concept of multiple Dantians. So, he asked, "I've heard that some Taoist sects can open up three Dantians. The human body has 365 acupuncture points, so why are only these three points able to open up Dantians?"
