Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 114 Foundation Building Pill Recipe (Complete Version)

Having successfully refined the elixir, Ji Yuan was in high spirits. He then emerged from the Enlightenment Chamber, by which time it was already broad daylight.

After a night of non-stop work, Tu Yue had cleaned up the house inside and out, and even built the pigsty and chicken coop.

As Ji Yuan requested, they built a small nest in a corner of the backyard.

Ji Yuan placed the two prepared signs inside, and the panel refreshed.

Blood essence immediately appeared in the pigpen, while spirit soil appeared in the chicken coop.

There's no need to worry about Ji Yuan anymore; Tu Yue will handle the rest herself.

Ji Yuan went to the front hall, brewed himself a pot of tea, and while drinking the tea, he silently pondered the next steps of his Foundation Establishment journey.

He's not in a hurry about Danfang's matter.

Even if he doesn't collect them himself, he can get them from the panel later.

Collecting materials is a troublesome task.

Two main medicinal ingredients that have been used for thousands of years, and I've only managed to collect one by chance. What the other one is is still unknown... I don't need to worry about refining the pills later; I can do it myself.

So, after much thought, Ji Yuan decided not to collect the materials himself.

Such materials, especially the two main ingredients that have been around for a thousand years, will inevitably cause a lot of people to fight over them whenever they appear, not to mention that there are also demonic cultivators like last time who use medicinal materials as bait.

Thinking about this reminded Ji Yuan of Luo Tian's death.

Then we absolutely cannot take any risks.

If you don't do it yourself, then there's only one option left... buy it!

If you're not going to fight tooth and nail, then fight tooth and nail with money!

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan took stock of the storage bags. He was shocked by what he found.

Nowadays, the spirit stones used for Ji Yuan can no longer be calculated using low-grade spirit stones; they must be calculated using mid-grade spirit stones. And the quantity... cough cough, it's not much, only 187... mid-grade spirit stones!

There's nothing we can do about it; it's been like this for over a year.

Ji Yuan can be said to have gained in many ways.

Construction work guarantees a minimum income, drawing talismans and refining pills provide assistance, and a giant toad helps with killing demons. He also occasionally kills a person to earn some extra money.

Before they knew it, the number of spirit stones had increased.

Of course, a large part of the reason is also because the Water Dragon Sect's demand for pills and talismans has increased.

Therefore, there is no worry about sales.

In addition, there were the more than two hundred catties of cold iron sand that were obtained from Misty Island... That's a huge sum of money!

Looking at it this way, we have enough spirit stones to upgrade the buildings.

The remaining spirit stones for buying medicinal herbs should be about the same.

So the next thing to do is to get familiar with the Water Dragon Sect as soon as possible, and then meet with the people from the Mutual Aid Association.

After that, I'll gather some medicinal herbs, and once things are settled, I'll return to Misty Island... and settle down to farm!

Having figured out the path forward, Ji Yuan felt that the fog before him had lifted and the future looked bright and clear.

He then spent another half a day cultivating, until Du Wanyi's arrival woke him up near dusk.

"Fourth brother, there's news from the meeting."

Du Wanyi's words piqued Ji Yuan's curiosity.

After the two were seated in the house, Du Wanyi looked around and couldn't help but nod repeatedly, saying, "Fourth brother, you're quite diligent. You've tidied up the whole house in just one night."

It wasn't me who was diligent, but someone else... Ji Yuan smiled and shamelessly accepted the praise.

"Now that it's cleaned up, it's more comfortable to live here by myself."

"That's true... Oh right, let's get down to business. I met with Dong Qian this morning, and she said the gathering is scheduled for ten days from now, and it will be held on Shanshui Island."

Ji Yuan also saw Shanshui Island on the map.

This is a rare free activity area for the Water Dragon Sect. There are no special divisions, and any disciple of the Water Dragon Sect can go there.

"it is good."

Ji Yuan wrote this down.

The first gathering of the association is definitely worth attending, as it will be a good opportunity to learn about the Water Dragon Sect.

After meeting the people at the meeting, I still need to see Grandpa Xu. I don't know if he's back yet... He said he would take me to see a senior.

The senior he mentioned should be the Foundation Establishment cultivator who opened up the island.

Li Changhe... No rush. If there's nothing else, I'll wait until I'm close to Foundation Establishment to find him and see if I can get a few more Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Yao Jingfeng isn't dead, he's still alive," Du Wanyi suddenly said.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy upon hearing this, "Big Brother isn't dead?"

"That's great."

"Yes, he's not dead, but Dong Qian said his injuries seem to have worsened. He should be back soon." Du Wanyi's expression was somewhat complicated as she said this.

Ji Yuan assumed she was worried about Yao Jingfeng's safety and didn't ask any further questions.

Moreover, Du Wanyi's next sentence brought Ji Yuan an unexpected and delightful surprise.

"I've got the complete formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Huh? Second Sister, you really mean it?!"

This Water Dragon Sect member, who only joined yesterday afternoon, claims this afternoon that he has obtained the complete formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This surprised Ji Yuan greatly.

"Would I lie to you about something like this?"

Du Wanyi blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes, revealing a long-lost look of joy.

For a long time, she felt that she was not doing a good job as the second sister because she could not help Ji Yuan, while Ji Yuan always helped her.

In addition, the Water Dragon Sect selection process weighed on her, so even when she smiled, it was often a forced smile. However, she was good at disguising it, so it was hard for others to see through her act.

But things are different today; they have now joined the Water Dragon Sect.

He officially became a disciple of the Water Dragon Sect.

The biggest pressure is over. As for the Foundation Establishment... this is something that can't be rushed. Not to mention these pseudo-spiritual root disciples, even many true spiritual root disciples suffer from the Foundation Establishment process.

Now she has obtained the complete formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, which allows her to properly repay Ji Yuan.

The debt of gratitude she owed to others had lessened considerably, which truly made Du Wanyi feel much more relaxed.

"And fourth brother, do you know how I obtained the formula for this Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Du Wanyi leaned closer and whispered.

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, "Where did Dong Qian come from?"

He knew that Du Wanyi and Dong Qian had a good relationship. For example, right now, as soon as Du Wanyi joined the Water Dragon Sect, Dong Qian came looking for her.

Back when she was still in Yunyuze, Dong Qian would send her messages.

"No, she hasn't even gotten her hands on the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill yet."

Du Wanyi said this with a hint of pride.

Dong Qian had been a member of the Water Dragon Sect for over three years and still hadn't obtained the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but she got it just one day after joining, which was truly something to be proud of.

"I would like to hear the details."

Ji Yuan realized that Du Wanyi was trying to keep him in suspense, just like last time.

Seeing that Ji Yuan didn't seem to be showing any obvious reaction, Du Wanyi said, "Fine, I'll just tell you directly."

"I found this pill formula in the room where I live using my... that mystery-exploring tool. Dong Qian also said that most of the rooms on Dragon Hatchery Island contain one kind of opportunity or another, which can be considered a kind of inheritance of the Water Dragon Sect."

Once she said that, Ji Yuan understood.

Because not only did Du Wanyi get the opportunity, he also got the opportunity.

The formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill... Compared to that, it seems that the opportunities in my own house aren't that great.

"Fourth brother, look."

As she spoke, Du Wanyi handed over a piece of white paper covered with dense writing.

Ji Yuan hurriedly took it and looked at it...

"The main ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill are one Thousand-Year Illusionary Spirit Grass and one Thousand-Year Green Orchid Grass."

The auxiliary ingredients are 3 century-old gentian plants, 5 century-old dew-retaining grass plants, and 2 bottles of three-flower jade dew.

The medicinal guide consists of one second-tier demon core and one pot of earth vein spiritual spring water.

From this perspective, the Foundation Establishment Pill doesn't require many medicinal herbs... but the quality is very high and the quantity is also considerable.

The main ingredient goes without saying.

But this Thousand-Year Illusion Grass... I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before?

The Hundred-Year Dew-Continuing Grass is even more precious; a single batch of pills requires five of them.

Ji Yuan continued looking down.

This prescription not only specifies which medicinal materials are needed, but more importantly, it outlines the refining method.

Otherwise, obtaining these materials would be useless.

"The medicinal herbs need to be soaked in the spiritual spring for seven days beforehand..."

"The refining conditions require the use of a second-tier alchemy furnace. The furnace must be preheated for three days by igniting the fire of the earth's veins. Initially, it must be simmered over a low flame for twelve hours to melt the demon core. Then, the main ingredient, Illusionary Spirit Grass, must be added..."

Ji Yuan looked at it from top to bottom for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

They examined it with extreme care, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Even after reading it, he still felt that the two main ingredients were somewhat familiar.

Needless to say, Ji Yuan already has one of the thousand-year-old Qinghui grass in his storage bag.

But this thousand-year-old Illusionary Spirit Grass... Ji Yuan felt more and more uneasy about it until he summoned the panel and looked at the [Spirit Field] section.

[Spirit Field: lv3 (cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect 2 (Millennium Illusion): One Millennium Illusion Grass can be harvested each year.]

Ji Yuan: "..."

Ji Yuan: "!!!"

I was wondering why this thousand-year-old Illusionary Spirit Grass looked so familiar, and now I know it's here!

Ji Yuan initially thought that harvesting one thousand-year-old Illusionary Spirit Grass a year was nothing special, because even if the price of this thousand-year-old Illusionary Spirit Grass was high, it could only be harvested once a year.

But now it seems... this Thousand-Year Illusionary Spirit Grass is actually the main ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

Then its value would skyrocket.

upgrade!

We must upgrade immediately!

The current [Spirit Field] is already at level 2. Just one more level up and I can get the Millennium Illusionary Spirit Grass for free.

Ji Yuan then looked at the upgrade requirements for this level 3 spirit field.

[Upgrade Requirements: 50 mid-grade spirit stones, 2 second-tier demon cores, 5 jin of Xuan Yin soil, and 3 second-tier flying locust corpses. (Not yet achieved)]

50 mid-grade spirit stones?

I have!

Five catties of Xuan Yin Soil, right? Buy it!

Two second-tier demon cores, right? Buy them!

You want three more flying locust corpses, right? Buy them!

Ji Yuan became more and more excited as he read on.

Du Wanyi was a little scared... Although the ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill were difficult to obtain, they shouldn't have scared her fourth brother like this, right?

"Fourth brother, fourth brother?"

Du Wanyi called out softly a few times, which finally woke Ji Yuan up.

He immediately put down the pill formula in his hand, and his whole body came to a complete sense of clarity. A smile appeared on his face. "It's alright, it's just that the ingredients for this Foundation Establishment Pill formula are a bit difficult to obtain."

"yes."

Du Wanyi immediately said, "I also looked into it today. Actually, there is only one ingredient in the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill that is extremely difficult to obtain."

"The Thousand-Year Illusion Grass?"

Ji Yuan guessed.

Other herbs that are a hundred years old are not too difficult to obtain, but two herbs that are a thousand years old... He can get the Azure Orchid Grass, let alone others, so the difficult one should be the Illusionary Spirit Grass.

"right!"

"The growth conditions of this Illusionary Spirit Grass are extremely demanding. According to the seniors of the sect, there are very few thousand-year-old Illusionary Spirit Grasses left on the Canglu Continent. They can usually only be found in places like secret realms. And whenever a secret realm is discovered... it is always a bloodbath."

Du Wanyi spoke with a rather heavy tone.

Ji Yuan agreed.

Secret realms are places that ordinary cultivators can't go to. Those who dare to go to such places must be the best among their peers, otherwise they will just be cannon fodder.

Ji Yuan was very self-aware.

He felt that he was no longer among the best of his kind, and could only barely kill a cultivator of the same level.

So let's leave places like secret realms to others... I'd better just focus on farming.

And this time, it's really about farming.

To build a foundation, you must first cultivate the land.

"It's difficult. We can only take it one step at a time." Ji Yuan sighed.

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on the secret realm too. I'll let you know as soon as I hear any news."

"it is good."

Ji Yuan is now truly experiencing the benefits of having a second older sister; she can indeed save herself a lot of trouble.

After chatting for a while, Du Wanyi took her leave under the cover of night.

Ji Yuan escorted him to the door, but just as he was about to turn back, he saw someone walk out of the neighboring courtyard number nineteen.

He unconsciously slowed his pace, wondering who his new neighbor was.

Then a child walked out of the house.
