Immortality

Chapter 80: Brand-new Dao Fruit, Foundation-building Spiritual Object (two chapters in one, please read the monthly ticket)

Taoist Shishan shook the storage bag to make sure everything inside had been poured out:

"Master Qingyang, have you ever heard of the top-grade Earth Dragon Pill?"

"This pill is specially made for cultivators of traditional methods. It can not only restore mana and improve cultivation, but also heal injuries. This is the kind of pill I need..."

"I have already prepared the medicinal materials and blood essence needed for alchemy, as well as the detailed recipe."

Boom!
He picked up several glazed jade bottles with one hand and placed them all in front of Fang Sheng. They contained some kind of blood essence, which was gray-brown in color.

Just a slight sway, and wisps of smoke seemed to rise from the essence and blood, and the color changed subtly.

Fang Sheng's expression changed:
"Is this the blood of the earthworm?"

Taoist Shishan was quite surprised:

"Master Qingyang usually stays around the Deep Lake, and he has heard of the earth smoke bug?"

"This insect is clearly only active around Taihua Immortal City..."

"Someone has sold me this kind of blood before."

Fang Sheng answered simply.

This is not a lie.

Before, he had bought up a lot of barbarian bone essence and blood in the Shenhu Market, and indeed collected quite a few varieties.

The tobacco mites are one of them.

This insect has a huge body, and an adult one can be several feet long. Its skin and flesh are as hard as rock, and it has a mouth full of iron and copper teeth, so it can swallow gold and chew stones.

Although its movements are slow, it has a magical skill that can turn smoke into stone.

Normally, it can hide shallowly between the earth and rocks, conceal its breath, and quietly wait for its prey to approach, then accumulate strength and suddenly leap out to devour it.

At this time.

Unless one uses the foundation-building consciousness, ordinary cultivators will not be able to discover it at all.

Overall.

This kind of tobacco worm is not very powerful, it's just too hidden.

The best way to catch them is to knock on rocks and dig in the mountains, relying entirely on luck.

Fang Sheng had been collecting for several years, but had only collected twenty portions of tobacco beetle blood.

The amount of essence and blood that Taoist Shishan presented to him was at least thirty portions.

Think of this.

Fang Sheng glanced at Taoist Shishan.

I suspect that the folk method he practices has some kind of detection ability that can detect the location of the earth smoke bugs...

This kind of secret cannot be discovered by outsiders.

Fang Sheng naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the two parties signed a contract.

Fang Sheng accepted thirty copies of the materials.

Twenty-five top-grade Earth Dragon Pills need to be delivered within one month.

For every successful pill, one would be rewarded with fifteen spirit stones.

This remuneration is normal.

Fang Sheng didn't care about these few spirit stones, but instead valued these thirty portions of earth smoke insect essence and blood more.

the other side.

Taoist Shishan discovered that Fang Sheng had some knowledge of the earth smoke bugs and his words were quite extraordinary, so he should not be some country bumpkin alchemist.

He was visibly relieved and started chatting.

Fang Sheng also learned about it from him.

It turned out that he was not the only alchemist who received the Taihua Sanxiu order.

In the past few days, other top-grade alchemists in the market have been approached one after another, asking for their help in refining pills.

A top-grade elixir costs at least fifty spirit stones.

Even if one has achieved perfection in Qi training, it is still painful to eat.

Therefore, independent cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining usually collect enough materials and then find an alchemist to make pills.

Taoist Shishan said something unintentionally.

This made Fang Sheng interested:

"Speaking of which, those Taihua cultivators must still have a large amount of blood essence..."

After these late-stage cultivators killed the barbarian bone monster.

The useful materials will be kept and used for refining tools and elixirs in the future.

Barbarian bone blood is one of them.

A portion of essence and blood is only worth a few spirit stones, but in the future, it will cost ten times as much to buy a top-grade elixir.

Of course, it is more cost-effective to keep it for backup.

Therefore, apart from the barbarian rhinoceros raised by the He family, the amount of barbarian bone essence and blood circulating on the market is not large.

Fang Sheng has been collecting information through the Eight Directions Taoist Alliance, but has not made much progress.

The people in the late stage of Qi Refining around Shenhufang City all have top-grade alchemists that they are familiar with.

These Taihua cultivators are different.

“The remaining nine strands of Dao rhyme may still depend on these people. I can do something with them…”

……

Send away Taoist Shishan.

Fang Sheng originally wanted to go to the alchemy room to make elixirs and complete the order as soon as possible.

Zhao Miaoyan's letter arrived suddenly.

The letter stated that within half a month, he would arrive at Shenhufang City to assist Anling Dao.

I will make time to visit you then.

"It's been a few years since we last met. Shuihuo is nearly 40 years old now..."

Over the years, the two sides have never stopped communicating.

In the letter, Zhao Miaoyan's life seemed to be going smoothly.

Every time I write, it’s either about how many spirit stones I earned today or how much I earned yesterday.

From time to time, I also plan to take in another concubine...

By now, he has almost ten concubines.

"Unfortunately, no child was conceived."

Fang Sheng shook his head.

It is difficult for monks to have children, and some unlucky monks never have children in their entire lives.

He had no suggestions in that regard.

Less than half a day.

Another letter was sent from the Taoist Temple, signed by "Zhu Long".

The content of the letter is similar to that of Zhao Miaoyan.

Zhulong said that in order to find an opportunity to build a foundation, he also planned to go to Shenhu Market in the near future...

Fang Sheng was not surprised at all.

He had already expected this when Feng Yun said she was coming over.

He took out a pen and paper and wrote back to each of them, saying that he would treat them well when the time came.

After handing the letter to the Taoist Alliance.

Fang Sheng returned to the alchemy room and officially began to refine the elixir.

He had no experience in refining top-grade Earth Dragon Pill.

"However, it cannot escape the category of high-grade elixir anyway."

"With my understanding, there is no possibility of failure."

Fang Sheng took out the pill recipe, looked at it carefully, and then began to refine it.

Although I have only read the recipe once.

However, every step he took seemed to be done with perfection.

Even if Zheng Jinli came, he couldn't find any fault with it.

and……

"Spiritual fire, start!"

Fang Sheng's eyes were as sharp as torches as he made a gesture of magic.

A wisp of spiritual fire slowly condensed, taking the shape of a red kite spreading its wings ready to fly, with a fiery light flickering between its wings.

It flapped its wings and flew away, suddenly disappearing into the top-grade alchemy furnace.

call!
Accompanied by a low and long roar.

The air around seemed to be ignited in an instant, the temperature rose sharply, the heat wave rolled, and it was suffocating.

The surface of the alchemy furnace was now flowing with a faint spiritual light, which was shining with the spiritual fire, and it was faintly showing some distortion, as if it was about to be melted...

Fang Sheng frowned slightly.

Ever since he was promoted to a top-grade alchemist, he hasn't used the Red Kite Spirit Fire to make pills for some time.

"The power of the triple red kite spirit fire is beyond our expectations... It can even melt a top-grade alchemy furnace. If an ordinary top-grade magic weapon encounters it, I'm afraid it won't even have a chance to resist."

He immediately took action and drew out most of the Red Kite Spirit Fire.

Only a few strands were left to continue burning the elixir.

How much time.

I sensed that all the spiritual medicine in the alchemy furnace had been transformed into elixir liquid.

Fang Sheng withdrew all the spiritual fires.

With a wave of the hand, let it dissipate into the world.

"There are about ten portions of the spiritual medicine inside, and I have refined them to extract all their medicinal properties."

"Then we just need to block the loss of medicinal power, and we can achieve the quality of a golden elixir..."

Fang Sheng cast out his alchemy spells one after another. Inside the alchemy furnace, the round and hot elixir liquid kept changing, sometimes boiling, sometimes blending, and sending out waves like ripples.

at this time.

Instead, there was no scent of medicine in the alchemy room, only fluctuations of spiritual energy.

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Fang Sheng cast the last alchemy formula and then opened the alchemy furnace:

"receive!"

A spell was performed and his palm swept over the alchemy furnace at the same time.

The blood essence in the furnace was immediately absorbed into the green lotus...

【Native tobacco worm fruit·Cultivation in progress】

【Progress: 16/100】

[Effect: Barbarian bloodline, born wild, can realize the strange method of turning smoke into stone. ]

There is only one utility.

Fang Sheng already knew the details of the earth smoke insect fruit, so he was calm.

"The thirty portions of Taoist Shishan's blood essence are worth fifteen points of progress in total."

"There is still a little progress, which I invested in before."

"I still have twenty portions of earth smoke bug blood in my hand. The progress of this Dao Fruit has actually exceeded a quarter..."

Fang Sheng was thinking in his mind.

The effect of the earth tobacco insect fruit is only one.

In terms of quantity, they are inferior to the fire foxes of ordinary bone monsters.

Moreover, this strange method of turning smoke into stone seems to be a method of earth escape.

In fact, it is just an introduction.

The Smoke-Entering-Stone can only escape into the shallow layer of soil and rocks, and once inside it cannot move freely.

To be honest, this is actually a concealment spell.

Compared to the Water Cloud Turtle Dao Fruit, the breath-retaining effect should be better.

"However, as long as we can build up the Dao Fruit and push the spiritual roots up, that will be fine. We don't need to consider the effect of the Dao Fruit for now..."

While Fang Sheng was deep in thought, he flicked his sleeves lightly and took out the top-grade Earth Dragon Pill from the furnace.

Put them into the jade bottle one by one.

There are a large number of these pills, which are yellowish-brown in color, with golden light shining on the surface, flowing like waves.

It is the Tulong Pill of golden elixir quality.

Fang Sheng originally planned to go out and inform Taoist Shishan to get the elixir.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I felt two familiar auras outside.

"Ao Yueru... and Feng Yun?"

"Why did these two collide with each other?"

He gently pushed open the door, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

In front of the courtyard gate, two beauties stood tall and graceful, their figures were exactly the same as he had imagined.

Feng Yun had a gentle smile on her face, and was chatting with Ao Yueru.

In contrast, Ao Yueru had her long hair tied up high, had a capable temperament, and appeared tall. She responded from time to time.

Compared with other strangers, his attitude is quite enthusiastic.

It was obvious that Feng Yun's special spiritual body played a role, invisibly increasing the affinity.

As for the bamboo dragon...

Fang Sheng looked around but couldn't find it.

"As for Junior Brother Zhulong, he is still on his way."

Feng Yun looked over at this time, as if she had guessed Fang Sheng's thoughts.

Ao Yueru also noticed Fang Sheng's appearance and asked:
"Bamboo dragon?"

“That’s a good man.”

Fang Sheng answered simply, turned around, and slowly welcomed the two girls who followed closely behind him into the courtyard.

After a conversation and introduction, the purpose of their visit was revealed.

Before, there was turmoil in the market town.

Following Fang Sheng's suggestion, Ao Yueru also bought a top-grade cave.

The reason I came here was to invite him to the moving party, and I also made some cakes to express my gratitude.

"You're welcome."

Fang Sheng smiled and accepted the pastries handed to him by Ao Yueru.

Then he opened it on the spot and invited Fengyun to taste it together.

Feng Yun picked up a piece, but did not eat it. Instead, he whispered a message:
"Fellow Daoist Qingyang, do you know about the foundation-building spiritual objects?"

Ok?
Fang Sheng was stunned for a moment.

He naturally knew what the foundation-building spiritual object was.

The spiritual veins between heaven and earth are intertwined, and some rare and magical treasures will always be born.

Some of them are helpful for cultivators to advance to a higher level.

When ordinary cultivators build their foundation, if they only make some ordinary preparations, the success rate is only one percent.

If there is a foundation-building pill, the success rate will be nearly one in ten.

However, if a spiritual object is used to build the foundation, the success rate can reach 30% to 40%.

One hundred years ago, a mysterious golden evil spirit appeared in the East Vein, which could help the golden water cultivators to build their foundation.

It is said that it was finally taken away by the Taoist Palace.

And, more importantly.

In the world of cultivating immortals, spiritual objects for building the foundation are considered “great opportunities”!
Even if you have not reached the middle level of spiritual roots, as long as you have spiritual objects for foundation building, you still have a 30% chance of successfully building the foundation!

In his previous life, the old Taoist priest that Fang Sheng made friends with mentioned something about the spiritual objects for foundation building.

……

now.

Feng Yun suddenly mentioned this, and it was hard for Fang Sheng not to make associations.

However, he hasn't spoken yet.

Ao Yueru couldn't help it:

"Fellow Daoist Feng Yun, could it be that there are spiritual objects for building foundation hidden in the deep lake?"

As soon as she heard about the foundation-building spiritual object, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

Feng Yun glanced at her but didn't blame her.

Instead, he nodded slightly:
"I'm not sure yet, but there is a second-level water monster and a second-level spiritual land. A large number of second-level spiritual medicines have appeared before..."

"The likelihood is high."

Hearing this, Ao Yueru gasped for breath and finally managed to suppress her emotions.

She forced a smile:
"Sorry, I lost my temper."

"Normal. Even I couldn't help but get excited when I heard the news, not to mention Daoist Ruyue..."

Feng Yun nodded slightly.

Fang Sheng was not too excited, but rather confused.

He explored many places under the deep lake, but found nothing unusual.

Now Feng Yun suddenly appeared and said that there was a foundation-building spiritual object at the bottom of the lake, which was really strange.

"Where did this news come from?"

"It was a guess by a geomancer from the Taoist Temple, and it's highly credible."

After hearing this, Fang Sheng's doubts faded a little.

This is unlikely to be a message from the He family.

Feng Yun laughed, knowing what he was thinking:
"The He family doesn't know about this news yet, and they think that the old men in the Dao Palace were moved by their spirit stones and agreed to kill the monster..."

"This news is only circulated within the Dao Palace. I hope you two will keep it confidential."

"Fellow Daoist Fengyun, I guess this news wasn't told to us for nothing?"

Fang Sheng thought more deeply.

He looked at Feng Yun and didn't believe that this woman would do any business that would lose money.

really.

Feng Yun smiled faintly:
"Of course I have something to ask for."

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang seems to have been studying the spiritual fire of the Red Flame Red Falcon?"

"And has it been effective?"

"Um……"

Fang Sheng nodded in acknowledgement.

He had told Zhulong about this matter, so naturally he couldn't hide it from Fengyun.

Feng Yun said calmly:

"As a spiritual object of heaven and earth, the foundation-building spiritual object is not pure enough. Although the success rate of breaking through the foundation with it is high, there will be troubles..."

Fang Sheng's eyelids jumped, and he thought of the body-tempering effect of the Red Kite Spirit Fire in the Dao Fruit:
"Could it be that the Red Kite Spiritual Fire can purify spiritual objects for foundation building?"

Feng Yun nodded and admitted it.

"I heard from Zhulong that Daoist Qingyang's Spiritual Fire Technique already has some magical charm, and it may also have the same effect."

"If I get that spiritual item for foundation building in the future, I hope that Daoist Fellow Qingyang can help me."

"After I build my foundation, I will definitely reward you generously..."
