Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 113 Planning the Foundation Building (10,000 words update, please subscribe)

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan fell silent.

He did consider this issue.

As his cultivation level improved day by day, Ding Yuyao gradually became a burden to him.

Even if one no longer marries a cultivation partner after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, it's still not advisable to live with a mortal wife.

“I’ve inquired and found that after the Tianqiao Sect took over the two prefectures and thirteen counties originally under the Ding family’s jurisdiction, it did not wage a major war against the mortal world.”

“My parents should be alright. Husband, I want to go see them.”

"if……"

At this point, Ding Yuyao hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she stammered, "If they were still here, I would like to spend some time with them and do my best to be filial."

Shen Xuan sighed softly to himself.

He understood what Ding Yuyao meant.

Not wanting to become a burden to Shen Xuan, she returned to a mundane life.

"I have something very important to deal with."

"My lady, please be patient here for a while. When I have some free time, I will accompany you back to Hongcheng County."

Ding Yuyao slowly closed her eyes, her voice almost inaudible.

"Thank you, husband!"

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow is another day."

That night, Ding Yuyao held Shen Xuan tightly, as if afraid he would leave quietly.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After instructing the innkeeper to take good care of his wife, Ding Yuyao, Shen Xuan went to the VIP room of Juxianlou.

Wang Fugui asked the waiter to bring out some delicacies, spiritual fruits, and spiritual tea.

Shen Xuan ate and drank while waiting quietly.

Yesterday, he sent a message via carrier pigeon to invite Lü Zhengying to a meeting.

He still had many spiritual items for cultivation to deal with in his storage bag.

It is too expensive.

Even a sect elder like Lü Zhengying might not be able to handle it.

Shen Xuan plans to sell off the shares in batches.

About half an hour passed.

Lü Zhengying arrived in a hurry.

As soon as he entered, he scanned Shen Xuan with his divine sense and was taken aback.

"Shen Xuan, what is your current cultivation level?"

"Complete Qi Refining."

At this point, Shen Xuan had no need to hide anything.

"hiss!"

Lü Zhengying gasped.

He repeatedly scanned Shen Xuan with his divine sense.

Finally, Shen Xuan's cultivation level was confirmed.

“Shen Xuan, I remember when the Qingyun Sect took the assessment, you had an inferior spiritual root.”

"Although I don't know what hidden bloodline you awakened, it's truly remarkable that you were able to break through from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining in just twenty years!"

Lu Zhengying couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Back then, Qin Yuehan favored Shen Xuan, and he secretly harbored a hint of jealousy.

It's just that she was born with a good-looking face!
In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme.

Cultivation level is the foundation of a cultivator.

What's the use of being good-looking!

did not expect.

It's one thing that Shen Xuan is good-looking.

Even his cultivation level is about to catch up with his.

"You're in such a hurry to ask me to come over, is there something you need my help with?"

Shen Xuan couldn't help but look at Lü Zhengying with newfound respect.

He didn't ask Shen Xuan about the improvement in his spiritual root aptitude at all.

They showed considerable respect for Shen Xuan's privacy.

"Elder Lü, please help me sell a batch of magical artifacts and talismans first."

Shen Xuan directly took out a large number of magical artifacts, elixirs, and talismans.

These are all spoils of war from killing the Zheng family cultivators.

Lu Zhengying glanced at it only once before calling Wang Fugui in.

"Give me an estimate and exchange it for spirit stones for Shen Xuan."

Wang Fugui skillfully used the abacus.

"It's worth seven thousand spirit stones. Elder Lü, what discount should we offer?"

"Half price!"

Now, Shen Xuan has reached the peak of Qi Refining and is about to break through to Foundation Establishment.

Lü Zhengying was happy to give Shen Xuan face and didn't try to lower the price.

"Shen Xuan, is that all?"

"Elder Lü, please don't be anxious!"

After putting away the spirit stones, Shen Xuan took out a storage bag and handed it to Lü Zhengying.

"This is……"

"A second-tier sea monster spirit fish?"

"An adult red-striped carp." Lu Zhengying's face showed a hint of joy.

"That's right, this bag must weigh at least 700 pounds!"

"Two bags left!"

Shen Xuan then took out two more storage bags containing red-striped carp.

"Alright! Shen Xuan, we're all classmates, how about we buy it for seven spirit stones per pound?"

Seeing that Shen Xuan didn't agree immediately, Lü Zhengying became a little anxious: "If you make a fortune, let me earn some spirit stones too!"

Shen Xuan looked at Wang Fugui.

He subconsciously felt that the price was slightly too cheap.

Wang Fugui said, "Eight spirit stones per jin. Shen Xuan and Elder Lü will also have a hard time."

Considering that Lü Zhengying's help would be needed for the next matter.

Shen Xuan nodded: "Okay!"

Lu Zhengying took out her storage bag and only took out nine thousand spirit stones.

"That's all! I'll give you the remaining seven thousand spirit stones when I have more money in the future."

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan accepted the spirit stones and was very satisfied with the transaction.

There are still four magical treasures to deal with.

However, considering that he now possesses over 30,000 spirit stones again...

There is also a debt of up to seven thousand spirit stones.

However, Lü Zhengying lacked spirit stones for circulation.

Let's put this matter aside for now.

After the agreement was reached.

Lu Zhengying looked at the red-striped carp in the storage bag.

I suddenly remembered something.

"Does this red-striped carp possess a demon core?"

"Naturally there is."

"Shen Xuan, you got it?"

Lu Zhengying asked curiously.

"Ah."

"Could it be that you have collected all the main and auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill and want to ask Elder Qin and me to ask the sect's alchemists to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Right on my mind!"

"and many more!"

Lu Zhengying sat down, picked up the teapot, and took a big gulp of the spiritual tea.

Today, Shen Xuan's impact on him was too strong.

Selling magical artifacts and other spiritual items, as well as red-striped carp, were all minor matters to Shen Xuan.

The real important thing is to lay the foundation!
At this point, the usefulness of befriending sects and building a foundation becomes apparent.

With the guarantee of two Foundation Establishment elders, Qin Yuehan and Lü Zhengying.

Only then could he persuade a second-tier alchemist from the Qingyun Sect to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill for him.

Otherwise, even if the materials for the Foundation Building Pill are available...

Without a highly skilled second-tier alchemist, it would all be in vain.

Whether a pill can be successfully refined depends on the alchemist's experience.

The more experience you have, the higher your chances of succeeding in making a pill.

Therefore, alchemy is the profession that requires the greatest initial investment among all the arts of cultivation, but it is also the most sought-after profession after success.

Many independent cultivators spend most of their lives painstakingly preparing a set of Foundation Establishment materials and handing them over to independent alchemy masters.

The alchemy attempt failed, and he suffered a fate worse than death.

Second-tier alchemists in the Qingyun Sect can guarantee a basic success rate in pill formation.

One set of Foundation Establishment Pill materials can be used to refine at least one Foundation Establishment Pill.

half an hour.

Lü Zhengying calmed down.

"Shen Xuan, the matter of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill is of great importance. We need to have a thorough discussion with Elder Qin!"

Speaking from my heart.

He was willing to help Shen Xuan.

I also hope that Shen Xuan will successfully complete his foundation building.

The three were classmates after all.

On the path of cultivation, helping each other and sticking together is always better than fighting alone.

Don't be fooled by his aloofness in front of Shen Xuan, Wang Fugui, and others.

Actually, he was a minor figure in the Qingyun Sect.

At the age of sixty-eight, he has established a foundation for the lower level of Dao, and his future achievements are limited.

This was all thanks to Qin Yuehan gifting him a rather valuable Golden Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

At the same time, he used all his connections and incurred a debt of tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Over the years, he has been supporting Wang Fugui in establishing Juxianlou.

It's all to earn spirit stones to pay off my debts!
Despite his fine clothes, he had tens of thousands of spirit stones in his storage bag.

If he were to pay off all his debts, he would be penniless.

Oh, right.

His storage bag was completely empty.

Nearly ten thousand spirit stones all went into Shen Xuan's pocket.
