The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 139: Lotus Blooms Twelve, Foundation-Building Pill Recipe (Request for Full Order)
I saw that the green lotus seedlings planted in the spiritual spring had grown stronger and more luxuriant.

The two lotus roots submerged in the spring water expanded more than three times, and the six pink and white lotus roots became plump.

The seven small lotus leaves grew from the size of a fist to the size of a palm, and their color also changed from light green to dark green.

A lotus stem supports the red flower bud, and now six petals have bloomed, making a total of twelve petals.

Although the remaining petals are curled up into a ball, they can still be counted.

"There are actually thirty-six grades? It seems that the origin of this green lotus seed is not simple!" Li Qing was very surprised.

What surprised Li Qing the most was that the roots of this green lotus root were slowly spreading into the depths of the spiritual spring.

"If this lotus can be compatible with the spiritual veins of Qinghe Valley, it would be perfect."

The wind-spirited green coconut tree in the blessed land of spiritual coconut trees grew ingeniously, occupying the spiritual veins and acupoints on the island, which gave it the opportunity to transform into the world of earthly immortals.

Li Qing was previously still worried about the Qinghe Valley, but now that this green lotus had shown signs of growth, it undoubtedly gave him more confidence.

"It's just a second-level spiritual vein. It's a world of difference from a second-rate spiritual vein. If this green lotus wants to grow to a level that can support the entire Qinghe Valley, it still has a long way to go."

Li Qing sighed, and casually gave it Qingmu Zhenyuan, Beneficial Wind and Sweet Rain, and the Minor Supernatural Power again.

After finishing the task of refining the Heavenly Stone, Li Qing had some free time again.

Sometimes he teased children like Li Hu, and sometimes he preached in the family, teaching them the ways of cultivation, spiritual plants and alchemy.

He gradually digested the several alchemy methods brought out from the Lingtao Secret Realm, and his attainments in alchemy also advanced to the second-level mid-grade.

Only the method of refining the external elixir of "Suzaku Lihuo Dan" was too profound. Li Qing was unable to comprehend it for the time being, so he put it aside for the time being.

Not only must one make progress in the art of alchemy, but one must also demonstrate real results with one's own hands.

Li Qing ordered Li Hui to spread the word that he was willing to refine second-level mid-to-low-grade elixirs for other cultivators.

Soon, the Li family's house was crowded with people, and Li Qing took the opportunity to save up a lot of pill recipes.

On this day, Li Qing finished refining a furnace of second-grade medium-quality "Cuihuang Pills" for a foundation-building cultivator named Gu Changsheng who had just settled in Xuefeng Lake.

Gu Changsheng took one on the spot, refined it with his true essence, and then praised with a smile: "Daoyou Li's talent in alchemy is truly amazing!"

Li Qing smiled and said, "My family is in financial difficulty, so I can only rely on this skill to earn some resources for cultivation, so as not to hinder my cultivation..."

To be honest, Li Qing has reached the third level of foundation building in less than a year, which is a huge progress no matter how you put it.

But he was able to advance from the first level to the second level by creating a method of practicing fighting spirit in another world, and was favored and promoted by the world's will.

To advance from the second level to the third level, one must open up the blessed land of Lingye and use the feedback from the methods of the earthly immortals to advance naturally.

If he were to practice on his own, without the help of resources, it would be difficult for him to advance to the third level of foundation building within fifty years.

Gu Changsheng smiled and complimented: "Fellow Daoist, you are proficient in alchemy and are also quite good at spiritual planting. Why worry about not having enough resources for cultivation?"

The two of them chatted for a while.

Seeing that he had not left for a long time, Li Qing knew that he had other important matters to discuss, so he took the initiative to open the restrictions and magic array in the cave.

Gu Changsheng then got down to business: "Daoyou, since you have such great attainments in alchemy, have you ever thought about refining a foundation-building pill?"

Li Qing frowned slightly: "Foundation Building Pills are extremely precious, how can I have the ability to refine them?"

Gu Changsheng laughed loudly: "What if I am willing to give you a pill recipe?" Li Qing's eyes were cold: "I'm afraid you are here to tease me. We are not related, how can I accept such a generous gift?"

Gu Changsheng seemed to be unaware of this: "Hey, the Great Zhou court and the Jindan Sect have joined forces to control the distribution of foundation-building pills."

"The Jindan Sect has pill recipes and spiritual medicines, but the foundation-building pills they refine can only be used by disciples themselves and cannot be sold to others."

"Only the alchemists who have been approved by the court can help people make pills. Even so, the success rate of those mediocre ones is... "

"Because foundation-building pills are scarce, many cultivators who are at the peak of Qi training have to break through on their own. If they fail, they will die. How many people can succeed?"

Li Qing looked indifferent, but his heart was actually in turmoil: "Fellow Daoist, you didn't come to me to criticize the current situation, did you?"

His first breakthrough to the foundation building realm was made by the inferior foundation building pill made by Master Liu He. In the end, he failed to break through, but at least he saved his life.

At that time, Li Qing was only at the peak of his Qi training stage. He could not understand many of the alchemy techniques and only thought they were extremely mysterious.

Now thinking back, Li Qing just thought: If there is a pill recipe and pill secret, I can do it too!

But the strange thing is that in the whole Great Zhou Kingdom, there are only a few people who can refine the foundation-building pill, and their level is quite average.

Gu Changsheng simply opened up and said frankly: "I want to make a deal with you. I will give you a foundation-building pill recipe and provide the ingredients you need."

"If you can make three or more in one furnace, you can take one as a reward. You can keep it as a family inheritance or sell it for cultivation resources. It's all up to you."

Li Qing hesitated for a moment before asking, "Who will you sell the foundation-building pills I made to?"

Gu Changsheng waved his hand: "I'm not asking you where your foundation-building pill is. Why do you have to ask me about it?"

Li Qing sighed: "This condition is really tempting. Let me think about it for a few days and then give you a reply."

Gu Changsheng nodded in understanding and took out a jade slip from his sleeve: "To show my sincerity, I would like to give part of the pill formula to you first."

"With your talent in alchemy, you can tell the truth from the false at a glance. If you are interested, you can contact me with a communication talisman and I will be there immediately."

After saying this, he placed the jade slip on the table, and after Li Qing lifted the restriction, he left calmly.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment before taking the jade slip in his hand and reading it with his spiritual sense. He soon obtained this part of the Foundation Establishment Pill formula.

"Xuan Yang Ginseng, Yin Lingzhi, Jiu Xuan Fruit, Golden Cicada Shell, Mysterious Water Essence..."

Among these, many were second-grade top-grade elixirs that Li Qing had only heard of but had never seen in person.

Only the Nine Mysterious Fruit made him narrow his eyes slightly: "How could the person behind Gu Changsheng get this?"

"It seems that the Yanling Valley Spiritual Fruit Garden has long been infiltrated like a sieve. Could their fruits come from Master Liu Yuan and his apprentice?"

Thinking of the agreement reached with Master Liu Yuan, Li Qing couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Could it be that this is the so-called boomerang?"

He shook his head and exhaled his true energy, turning the incomplete jade slip of the foundation-building pill recipe, whose authenticity was unknown, into powder.

After thinking about it, he still felt it was not safe enough, so he burned it with spiritual fire, and finally blew it away with the gentle wind.

"The Foundation Building Pill..."

Before he could continue to sigh, Li Ying came with a visiting card and reported: "Master, Senior Liu Yuan has come with two children. The clan leader has placed them in the cave where you practiced before."

Li Qing remembered that Liu Yuan had asked him to refine the Sanbao Zhihua Pill, so he nodded and stood up: "Tell Li Zhao and Li Wei to go together."
