I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

Five days later, Li Yuan looked at the Yellow Sprout Pill in your hand with great joy. He never expected that he could actually successfully refine the Yellow Sprout Pill just by casually studying it.

However, refining pills is indeed time-consuming. After Li Yuan writes down his pill-refining experience, he will focus on cultivating the younger generation in his clan.

Just as Li Yuan was overjoyed, Wang Quan arrived at the entrance of the small fishing village with two extraordinary cultivators.

"Brother Quan, is the Li family really as powerful as the rumors say? They've already killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Wang Quan glanced at the person who spoke.

"You'd better keep quiet when you go inside. Although the Wang family is powerful, if they don't give us face, there's nothing we can do."

After saying that, Wang Quan led the two into the small fishing village.

After a while, Li Yuan slowly walked to the foot of the bamboo mountain. Looking at the person in front of him, Li Yuan's smile did not fade, but he was already on guard. If Luo Tong had not shown his power that day, he would probably be dead on the spot.

Upon seeing Li Yuan arrive, Wang Quan quickly stepped forward and said…

"Master Li, you've finally come down."

He then handed the gift in his hand to the servant.

Li Yuan glanced at this indifferently, then slowly said:

"Steward Wang, please speak freely. I still need to cultivate."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan quickly spoke up:

"Brother Li, I was blinded by greed before and did something wrong. I've come here today to apologize to you."

After speaking, Wang Quan stood up and bowed.

Li Yuan gave Wang Quan a second glance. Even if Wang Quan didn't apologize, he couldn't do anything about it. After all, the Wang family of Cuiping Mountain was no joke. Their strength was much greater than that of Daqing now, and they even had two Purple Mansion cultivators.

However, Li Yuan wouldn't let this misunderstanding be cleared up by an apology alone. Of course, Li Yuan didn't bring this matter to the forefront either. Today, he wanted to see what Wang Quan was up to.

Seeing Li Yuan's expression soften, Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked at Li Yuan and slowly said:

"Patriarch Li, I've come to the Li family today for two reasons: first, to apologize to Fellow Daoist Li; and second, to discuss a business deal with you. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Upon hearing this, he pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"I wonder what kind of business Manager Wang is referring to?"

Seeing that Li Yuan did not directly refuse, Wang Quan's expression became even more delighted, and he slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist Li, I have come here to discuss the matter of the Moonstone with you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan frowned, thinking to himself, "What does this mean? Why is he still eyeing the Moonstone?"

However, Li Yuan naturally did not reveal his true feelings, but slowly said:

"This? Fellow Daoist Wang, is this transaction related to the Moonstone?"

Wang Quan nodded, then slowly said:

"Patriarch Li is now at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, isn't he? If I were to say that I'm willing to use a Foundation Establishment spiritual item in exchange for the Moonstone in your possession, would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan looked at Wang Quan with surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, although this Moonstone is precious, it can only improve one's cultivation level in the Qi Refining stage. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Wang to be willing to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan sighed, then slowly said:

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, the cultivation techniques practiced by the Wang family of Cuixia Mountain require Moonstones. Although our Wang family has many factions and we are not from a collateral branch, we still enjoy very few resources."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan immediately understood that it was caused by the cultivation technique he was practicing.

Since Wang Quan had already said this much, Li Yuan naturally wouldn't ask any further questions. After pondering for a moment, Li Yuan slowly said:

"Since Fellow Daoist Wang is so sincere, I naturally cannot be impolite."

But what Foundation Establishment spiritual item does Fellow Daoist Wang intend to exchange for it?

As they spoke, Wang Quan took out a golden ginseng from his Qiankun bag. Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the Rehmannia glutinosa in his hand.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Wang is indeed a true man of Shicheng. Since you're offering this earth-attribute Rehmannia Essence in exchange, then I'll grant your wish."

After saying that, Li Yuan sent a message to Li Daqiang on Zhushan Mountain, asking him to bring out the Moonstone from the mountain.

Upon obtaining the Moonstone, Wang Quan's face revealed visible joy. With the Moonstone now in hand, the only thing missing from the Hua Lu Dian was the Heavenly Water.

After the transaction, Wang Quan did not linger and left the small fishing village with the moonstone.

Li Yuan had already put away the Rehmannia glutinosa. Wang Quan was indeed genuinely interested in the deal. This Rehmannia glutinosa was a foundation-building elixir that could increase the chance of foundation building by 35%. As long as some auxiliary ingredients were added and it was refined into a pill, the chance of foundation building would definitely increase greatly.

After collecting the Rehmannia glutinosa extract, Li Yuan immediately began to have the Li family members gather the auxiliary medicines needed to refine it.

Although Li Yuan didn't know much about it, he naturally knew the auxiliary medicines needed for this Rehmannia glutinosa. He only needed to gather the auxiliary medicines and take the medicinal materials to the Imperial Medicine Sect's residence in the capital to receive the pill.

Of course, Polygonatum can also be taken raw in this area, but this also has its drawbacks, namely that the medicinal effects cannot be fully brought out.

Li Yuan would naturally not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; the more chances he could increase, the better.

Li Yuan felt he had made a profit, and Wang Quan was also overjoyed. For the Wang family of Cuiping Mountain, the Moonstone was as essential as their foundation. Most members of the Wang family had a certain affinity for the power of the moon, especially those with purer bloodlines, who absorbed the power of the moon more thoroughly.

In response, the Wang family researched all items that could accumulate the power of moonlight, and moonstone was considered one of the most precious materials among them.

After bringing these Moonstones back to Cuixia Mountain, setting up the Moonstone Array made cultivation twice as efficient.

Wang Quan originally intended to swallow the Moonstone alone, but since he was merely a member of a collateral branch of the family and did not have any powerful elders to support him, it was clearly not feasible for him to enjoy this treasure by himself.

The two people behind Wang Quan were the best protection. Both of them had late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators backing them up, and Wang Quan offered benefits, so the two of them were naturally able to protect Wang Quan's Moonstone.

However, Wang Quan still felt a pang of heartache when he thought of that top-quality Rehmannia Essence. But most of the spells in his family could only be mastered by cultivators who had practiced the Moonlit Scripture. Even the two Purple Mansion True Persons in the main lineage had achieved their current status only after practicing the Moonlit Scripture. Wang Quan naturally couldn't give up on this path.

Two months later, while Li Yuan was cultivating, Li Daqiang walked into Li Yuan's courtyard carrying a Qiankun bag.

Seeing this, Li Yuan withdrew his cultivation technique and then slowly asked:

"Father, how is it? Have you gathered all the necessary medicines?"

Li Daqiang handed the Qiankun bag in his hand to Li Yuan and then nodded.

"Everything is ready. You should take the White Snake to the capital soon. This matter cannot be delayed. If you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, my Li family can continue to expand."

Li Yuan accepted the Qiankun bag and nodded emphatically.
