Mortal: I have a gathering technique

Xuankun Mountain Cave.

Fang Qing returned with a smile on his lips and a radiant smile.

His new master, Linghu Laoguai, explained some difficulties in cultivation to him, gave him some instructions on the taboos of the cultivation world, and then sent him away.

Back at Xuankun Mountain, Fang Qing surveyed the cave dwelling where he had lived for over a year and began dismantling the protective array.

Once the foundation is successfully established, one will be qualified to freely open cave dwellings in the Taiyue Mountains.

Fang Qing was already desperately thirsting for that Spirit Eye Spring!

After packing his belongings, he left without looking back.

Next, Fang Qing went to the sect's main hall to register his identity with Sect Leader Zhong.

Master Zhong probably knew that he had already become a disciple of Patriarch Linghu, so his attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and he even wanted to give him a Foundation Establishment congratulatory gift.

Fang Qing, concerned about her reputation, politely declined.

After leaving the main hall of the sect, he went straight to the Qilin Pavilion.

The Qilin Pavilion is a place in Huangfeng Valley specifically for raising spirit beasts.

Fang Qing rented a double-eyed rat for one spirit stone per day.

This rat is born with divine eyes and is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, hence it is also known as the treasure-hunting rat.

Fang Qing carried the Twin-Eyed Rat and flew northwest until he reached the edge of the Taiyue Mountains before stopping.

"Have some fruit, then get back to work!"

Fang Qing casually fed the little guy a wild pear fruit and then released it.

After several days of thorough searching, the little guy finally helped Fang Qing find the Spirit Eye Spring.

This spiritual eye is located in a naturally formed cave.

As soon as Fang Qing stepped into the cave, he felt a rich spiritual energy rushing towards him.

Inside the not-so-spacious cave, a spring several feet in size gurgled continuously, and wisps of spiritual energy were visible to the naked eye.

Among the items that grant spiritual vision, the spiritual eye tree is of the highest grade, followed by spiritual eye beads and spiritual eye stones, with spiritual eyes ranking last.

Even so, it is a treasure that cultivators can only dream of.

"What a wonderful Spring of Spiritual Eyes! Meditating and cultivating here might increase my cultivation speed by ten percent!"

Fang Qing's eyes shone brightly, and while he was overjoyed, he couldn't help but marvel at the old demon's good fortune.

As far as he knew, there was only one Spirit Eye Stone and three Spirit Eye Springs in the entire Yellow Maple Valley.

The Spirit Eye Stone was in the hands of his master, Old Monster Linghu. Fang Qing didn't know how the three Spirit Eye Springs were distributed, but at least Li Huayuan didn't have one.

This comparison shows just how powerful the old demon's luck is.

"But now it belongs to me."

At this moment, Fang Qing used the Spirit Eye Spring as the core to create a secret cultivation chamber.

Afterwards, a pill-making room, a spiritual plant room, and a reception hall were carved out around this secret room.

After constructing these, he re-set up the protective array that he had previously dismantled.

Outside the mountain where the cave was located, a five-colored light curtain rose rapidly and then quietly disappeared.

This formation is called the "Five Elements Sealing Formation," and it also originates from Xin Ruyin's lineage of formation techniques.

This formation differs from the "Inverted Five Elements Formation" in that it lacks the power to kill and instead excels at sealing and concealing.

Fang Qing studied this formation first for two reasons: firstly, Xin Ruyin had researched the Five Elements Reversal Formation; and secondly, it was to prepare for a later plan.

The reception hall of the cave dwelling.

Fang Qing sat at the stone table, drinking wine, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

After years of hard work, I finally have my own little home.

"Next, it's time to focus on cultivation."

"However, before that, we still need to refine the spiritual herbs that Master sent back into pills."

While pondering, Fang Qing took out a fiery red jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

This jade slip is the one that records the [True Yang Technique]. However, in addition to this technique, there is also a recipe for alchemy.

As everyone knows, Linghu Laoguai is skilled in health preservation.

Those skilled in health preservation would surely understand the Dao of alchemy.

In truth, this lineage of alchemy is the true legacy that Linghu Laoguai passed down to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing held the jade slip in his hand and quickly browsed through the contents of the alchemy manual. In addition to various alchemy techniques, this manual also contained various pill formulas for refining Qi to the Nascent Soul stage.

For example, there are pills like the Qi-Harmony Pill and the Spirit-Gathering Pill, which are suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to improve their magical power.

Coincidentally, the spiritual herbs needed to refine these two items were mostly in Fang Qing's storage bag, completely saving him the trouble of searching for seeds.

When the seeds were mentioned, Fang Qing thought of the Palm Heaven Bottle again.

"Gathering skills are unusable right now; it's time to forge this treasure!"

A thought struck him, and he got up, left the cave, and hurried toward Yuelu Hall.

To be on the safe side, Fang Qing planned to use materials of the magic weapon grade to refine the embryo of the Palm Heaven Bottle.

In this way, even with his Foundation Establishment level True Fire, he still lacked the power to do so, and therefore needed to rely on the Earth Fire Stone Chamber of Yuelu Hall.

……

Yuelu Hall.

Class A fire room.

Fang Qing sat cross-legged and gently patted the storage bag with his palm. Four fist-sized wooden boxes flew out one after another and landed on the ground.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he opened the box, revealing four kinds of gravel-like materials: red, white, yellow, and black.

It is precisely the essence of gold, silver, copper, and iron!

With all the materials prepared, Fang Qing cast a few spells, and the eight fire-mouthed dragon heads opened their mouths slightly, spewing out thin purple flames that gathered inside the large cauldron on the high platform.

Once the temperature inside the cauldron rose, Fang Qing once again made a hand seal, and the four kinds of refined metals flew into the cauldron simultaneously.

After being scorched by the purple earth fire for several days, the four essences dissolved and mixed, turning into a dark green liquid.

After some time, the liquid began to take shape, and a gourd the size of a baby's fist slowly formed.

……

Half a month later, Fang Qing hurriedly left the Earth Fire Stone Chamber and returned to his own Spirit Eye Cave.

Inside the main hall of the cave.

Fang Qing held a freshly made dark green gourd in one hand and a ball of light collected from the Palm Heaven Bottle in the other.

He clasped his hands together, and the ball of light silently merged into the gourd.

Then, a flash of inspiration struck, and the gourd's surface turned a vibrant green, almost identical in color to the palm-shaped bottle, and even a cluster of dark green branches and leaves appeared out of thin air.

"Is it done?"

Seeing that the gourd hadn't collapsed, Fang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

After playing with it for a while, he immediately went to the spirit plant room and placed the gourd on a high platform in the middle of the stone room.

Fang Qing had already left holes for receiving moonlight at the site where he built the cave.

At this moment, strands of moonlight gathered on the high platform, shining on the dark green gourd, instantly forming tiny white specks of light the size of rice grains, completely surrounding the gourd.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qing was overjoyed.

As time went by, this phenomenon lasted for a full half month before finally disappearing.

"Is it because the embryo's quality is insufficient, thus doubling the time required to condense the Creation Liquid?"

Fang Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

He immediately picked up the gourd, uncorked it, and peered into the bottle. Sure enough, there was a drop of bright green liquid the size of a soybean inside.

Fang Qing suppressed his excitement and poured the drop of liquid onto a young purple ginseng seedling that he had planted long ago.

Soon, the day was over.

The next day, when Fang Qing entered the spirit plant room again, a rich ginseng fragrance filled his nostrils.

That ginseng seedling has grown into a rare and precious herb!

"Ha ha……"

"It worked!"
