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

Chapter 276: The Mystery of Nirvana Fire, the Secret of Building a Foundation (First Update)
Li Qing heard this and smiled faintly: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are joking. I am just a foundation-building cultivator, how dare I call myself a dragon?"

First the foundation-building pill was replaced, and then the secret of his privately planted Nine Mysterious Fruit Tree was leaked. In the end, he no longer had the same closeness to Liu He as before.

Liu He was completely unaware and asked Liu He to greet Li Yu first. Then he enthusiastically took his hand and led him into the alchemy room.

"I recently refined a batch of 'Returning to Life Pills' and there is inevitably some fire poison. Can you help me take a look?"

The Resurrection Pill is a second-grade, superior-quality elixir, which Li Qing is currently unable to refine.

But Liu He knew that he had an amazing talent in alchemy and that he would occasionally have flashes of inspiration, so he took him in as a fellow Taoist before he even established his foundation.

Now that Li Qingye has established his foundation, it is no problem for him to be promoted to the second-level alchemist. Liu He also wants to hear his opinion on the "Resurrection Pill".

Li Qing was indeed interested in this, so he followed him into the alchemy room, and indeed saw a dozen golden pills hanging in the furnace.

The Resurrection Pill has been refined, but because the fire poison has not been eliminated, Liu He did not collect the pill rashly to avoid reducing its quality.

But if you keep leaving it in the furnace to be refined, sooner or later the pill will become useless due to overheating.

Li Qing scanned it with his spiritual sense, pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "My skills are still shallow, not enough to understand the key points."

"Oh, I'm being too stubborn." Liu He sighed and was about to use the elixir-collecting technique, but as a second best option, he wanted to save the furnace of defective elixirs first.

"No hurry!" Li Qing stopped her with a chuckle. "Although I don't know the truth, I have a way to solve it. I wonder if you can trust me?"

Liu He hesitated for a while and waved his hand: "Please help me, fellow Taoist!"

Li Qing was not polite either. He sat on the cushion in front of the alchemy furnace and pointed casually.

Nirvana Fire flew out from the fingertips and fell into the furnace. Immediately, the fire of the pill began to surge and transformed into the shape of Bifang, covering the dozen or so Resurrection Pills.

With a "pop" sound, one of the pills exploded and turned into a handful of smoke and dust.

Then came the second, third, and fourth...

Liu He couldn't help but feel frightened. His fingers hidden in his sleeves kept trembling and his lips trembled. He wanted to say something but held back.

Li Qing was very calm.

When there were only seven Resurrection Pills left in the furnace, he waved his sleeves, and the smoke and dust from the explosion of the waste pills enveloped the remaining pills.

Nirvana Fire transformed into Bifang and pounced forward. Suddenly, a wisp of dark red smoke rose from the Huanyang Pill.

Then, the remaining seven pills emitted golden light, floating in the pill fire. The golden light was brilliant and flawless, and the fire poison inside had been completely eliminated.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I'm glad to have accomplished your mission!" Li Qing bowed to Liu He, then stood up and stood aside.

Liu He was overjoyed. He made a hand gesture to create an afterimage and quickly put the seven resurrection pills into black jade bottles.

This reviving pill is given to seriously injured and dying monks to save their lives, and hidden dangers must be avoided.

One flawless pill of resurrection is far more valuable than five pills containing fire poison.

Although Li Qing's move cost him most of the pills, it actually increased the value of the pills by more than double.

"I didn't expect that fellow Taoist could master such a spiritual fire. I am so envious!" Liu He looked at the Nirvana Fire that Li Qing had taken back with burning eyes.

With his vision, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of Nirvana Fire. Whether it was used to make pills or to refine weapons, it was an excellent spiritual fire.

Li Qing extinguished the fire casually: "It was just a coincidence, and I gained something in the secret realm."

Liu He extinguished the fire in the furnace and led Li Qing to a pavilion for a chat.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you here in Xiancheng? If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know." Li Qing said with a smile, "I came here to meet Brothers Jiang and Zhou from Xiancheng. I don't know what the reason is yet."

He paused, and then said, "I came to visit you this time because I have another matter to ask you. It's about the foundation-building pill."

Previously in Qinghe Valley, a mysterious person came and gave Li Qing some foundation-building pill recipes, wanting to cooperate with him.

However, due to the strict control of the Great Zhou Dynasty court on the Foundation Establishment Pill and Li Qing's spiritual sense giving him warnings, the cooperation had been put on hold.

In the entire Qinghe Valley, there are very few foundation-building cultivators, and the only second-level alchemist is Li Qing himself.

Now that I'm in the fairy city of Tanyuan, it's worth the trip to ask Liu He some hints.

"Since I established my foundation, I feel that my alchemy skills have improved even more than my cultivation level. Now I can also refine second-level mid-quality pills."

"In the past few years, I have collected several second-grade top-grade pill recipes. But I have almost no clue about this foundation-building pill."

Liu He frowned slightly, raised his hand to activate the ban, and blocked the area around the pavilion.

He looked Li Qing up and down, pondered for a long time, and then said leisurely: "As for the Foundation Establishment Pill itself, there is a court ban, so it is inconvenient for me to mention it to you."

"However, since you have achieved the second-level intermediate level of alchemy, I can discuss some things with you."

"As you know, the Foundation Establishment Pill is not some miraculous elixir. Although the recipe is complicated, a second-level mid-grade alchemist can try to refine it."

"But in the vast area of ​​Great Zhou, although second-level alchemists are precious, they are not too rare. Why are there so few people who can refine foundation-building pills?"

Li Qing bowed slightly and said, "Brother, please give me some advice."

Liu He pondered for a while before making up his mind: "On the surface, of course it is the imperial court and Xuan Palace. In order to control the Great Zhou cultivation world and prevent the poor from rising too much, they suppress it in a roundabout way."

Li Qing really thought so before.

He tapped the stone table gently. "So what's going on?"

Liu He sorted out his thoughts: "It's because the luck of the Great Zhou is leaking, and it can't support too many foundation-building cultivators. So we can only cut it off at the source."

"We all have the authorization from the Great Zhou to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Not only do we have to hand over most of our earnings, but we also have a quota for the amount we can refine each year."

This is why the foundation-building pill costs so much that it can make a Qi-training family with a little savings sell everything they have.

"According to the internal rules of the Great Zhou, a foundation-building alchemist must seal his furnace or advance to a higher level before the next one can be appointed."

"I paid a great price to obtain the qualification. With your current family wealth, you will definitely not be able to get a place."

Li Qing did not ask what the price was, but was more interested in another piece of news: "Foundation-building cultivators are actually negatively correlated with the Great Zhou's luck? Shouldn't the more cultivators there are, the stronger the country's luck will be?"

Liu He shook his head: "As far as I know, the only people who harm the country's fortune are those who take foundation-building pills. For those who build their own foundation, even if they use foundation-building spiritual objects, it will not be a problem."

"As for the legendary Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, it seems that it can also benefit the country's destiny in the opposite way."

Li Qing heard this and broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, "Fortunately, I built my Heavenly Dao foundation in the spirit world. Otherwise, how could the Great Zhou court not know about the changes in the country's fortunes?"

A grassroots cultivator with low qualifications can actually achieve the level of Heavenly Dao foundation building. The opportunity behind this is truly touching.

He thought about it, and then asked tentatively: "I heard that some alchemists cannot make foundation-building pills openly, but they sell them secretly..."

Liu He was not surprised at all: "There are two kinds of people you are talking about."
