I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 109 An Alternative Foundation Establishment Method, Baibao Pavilion Auction (Subscription required)
strictly speaking.

Foundation Establishment Pill is not a must for a monk to establish a foundation.

It's just that without the aid of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the probability of success for a monk to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage is extremely small.

Especially for monks with low-level spiritual roots, if they don't use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through, let alone one out of ten, it may be difficult to achieve one out of a hundred.

The world of cultivating immortals is constantly moving forward.

This era is a good era for low-level spiritual root monks.

It is precisely because of the pills such as Foundation Establishment Pill that the Foundation Establishment period is not only for the well-qualified monks...

Therefore, at this moment, what He Lianxiong said about "the method of building a foundation without the aid of the Foundation Establishment Pill", to be precise - there should be another method, which can greatly increase the probability of foundation establishment for monks who do not have a breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After a few breaths, Wei Tu came back to his senses, his face showed a pensive look, as if he was hesitating whether to continue asking He Lianxiong more secrets about this mysterious foundation-building method.

But in fact, although Wei Tu was interested in the foundation building method He Lianxiong said, he didn't have much desire in his heart.

After all, he already has a Foundation Establishment Pill in his storage bag, so there is no need to rely on the foundation establishment method of unknown origin to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Foundation Establishment Pill Foundation Establishment is a smooth path to heaven that has been verified by countless predecessors in the world of immortality.

Wei Tu thought to himself, if He Lianxiong had the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, he would never think about the so-called ancestral foundation establishment method, but waited for his Qi training to be complete, then swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill, and chose a place to break through .

——Alternative foundation building, only the monks who have no hope of getting the foundation building pill choose this way.

"I don't know what is the method of building a different kind of foundation that Fellow Daoist Helian said?" Wei Tu followed He Lianxiong's mind and asked proactively.

Seeing the longing look in Wei Tu's eyes, He Lianxiong nodded secretly.

Although Weitu's financial resources are stronger than his, but this is also very limited. Based on his strength, it is difficult to obtain a foundation establishment pill in his lifetime.

Generally speaking, there are only two ways to obtain Foundation Establishment Pill.

One is to hold two copies of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Artifact, and exchange it with three sects, in exchange for one Foundation Establishment Pill.

Second, prepare your own spiritual materials, crowdfund with others, and find a second-level alchemist to refine them.

The second method, although not as demanding as the first one, still requires at least one foundation-building spiritual item and a huge amount of spiritual stones that can invite second-level alchemists to make alchemy.

Each of the second-tier alchemists is a higher status existence than ordinary foundation building masters.

It is difficult for a monk in the Qi training period to deal with him.

As for killing and seizing treasures, that's not a formal way.

Thinking of this, He Lianxiong showed a smile on his face, he pondered a few times, and said: "This alternative method of foundation building is called "The method of building a foundation with demon souls", and it uses the soul spirits of second-level monsters. Urging you and me, monks in the Qi training period, to reach the foundation building level."

"Three ancestors of my Helian family reached the foundation-building stage by using the "demon foundation-building method."

He Lianxiong saw Weitu's disbelief on his face, so he immediately said something like this to gain Weitu's trust.

"Today, Fellow Daoist Helian stopped Wei...invited Wei to be a guest, and told about the foundation-building method of this monster, so he must be asking Wei for something."

Wei Tu put down the teacup in his hand, his face calmed down one by one, and he said in a calm tone: "Please also ask Fellow Daoist Helian to tell you what you are asking for Wei, and why you are looking for Wei?"

He thought about the uniqueness of himself that could be missed by He Lianxiong, and the only one who was in the Qi training period could be called a good talisman attainment.

But he couldn't figure out what was the connection between this "Foundation Building Method of Monster Soul" and Talisman Dao.

Seeing Weitu's calm and composed appearance, He Lianxiong couldn't help but marvel at Weitu's ability to nourish Qi, after all, this is the method of building a foundation.

He Lianxiong began to explain.

He said: "This method of building the foundation of monsters does not require the use of talismans, but Fellow Daoist Wei also knows how difficult it is to capture the spirit of a second-level monster with your own abilities. It's..."

Weitu nodded upon hearing this.

Second-tier monsters are no less than foundation-building real people. To capture the spirits of second-tier monsters and use them for foundation building, it is tantamount to a fantasy for monks in their qi training period.

"My family ancestor once made friends with a second-tier talisman master, and with his help, he created a first-tier top talisman."

"This talisman is called the Demon Refining Talisman."

"Using this talisman, you can temporarily regenerate the soul of a first-order monster to a second-order level..."

Speaking of this, Helian Xiong paused, "As for why you chose Fellow Daoist Wei, the reason is also very simple..."

"The first point is Fellow Daoist Wei's talisman attainments."

"You Daoist Wei is now a first-rank middle-rank talisman master, and it is expected that in a few decades, he will be able to advance to the first-rank top-rank."

"At that time, I will have the ability to draw the top-level demon-refining talisman of this level."

"The second point...is related to Fellow Daoist Wei's character and handling of things..."

"You Daoist Wei has a withdrawn personality. He is a person who can hide things. Even if he doesn't want to help me, he won't tell the matter casually, so as to cause trouble for himself."

He Lianxiong said slowly.

It's easy to find a first-level top-rank talisman master, but it's hard to find someone who is old with him and who won't leak the secret easily.

This time, he specially invited Ren Feng, the real person who had an old foundation with him, in addition to borrowing the favor of his father's generation, let him repay the favor.

It is also to test Wei Tu's heart.

If Weitu had flattered Ren Feng during the meeting, then no matter what, he would not have chosen Weitu to speak out about the "Foundation Building Method of Monster Soul".

After hearing He Lianxiong's explanation, Wei Tu was silent for a moment.

Then, based on what He Lianxiong said, he raised two questions.

One, why didn't He Lianxiong invite a foundation-building real person like Ren Feng to hunt and kill second-level monsters directly, and take their souls to use for foundation building.

Second, since the Demon Refining Talisman is so important to the Helian family, why didn't the Helianxiong family store a large amount of it for emergencies.

"If... Fellow Daoist Helian doesn't make these two points clear, then Wei won't accept this job..."

Wei Tu's tone was slightly indifferent.

In fact, such rhetoric is just a way for him to gain He Lianxiong's trust by taking advance as retreat.

For these two questions, he can find a suitable reason after thinking about them for a while.

When he heard the reliability of the strange foundation-building method, the Yaohun Foundation-building Method, Wei Tu had already made up his mind that he must not miss this "opportunity" easily.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill is only enough for him alone.

And he also has a pair of children.

We have to plan ahead for this.

When Wei Yan's siblings embarked on the immortal journey, he had already said bluntly that he would no longer help them.

Because he practiced by himself, he was also very busy and had no extra resources.

A gang of two is a way to kill oneself.

But—the foundation building method is different.

This is a wealth of knowledge that can be passed on.

……

Skylark Street Courtyard.

inside the house.

He Lianxiong smiled wryly, and said: "Friend Daoist Wei thinks highly of my relationship with Uncle Ren, my father just helped him, this kindness, I can't ask Uncle Ren to help me hunt down the second-order monster beast."

"Most of the second-order monsters have bloodline supernatural powers, but they are not as easy to kill as the first-order monsters."

"As for why my Helian family doesn't stock more demon-refining talismans, there is also a reason."

"Although the shelf life of the talisman is longer than that of the pill, it is also limited. As time goes by, its power will gradually weaken."

"If the power of the Demon Refining Talisman is weakened, it will be difficult to regenerate the soul essence of a first-level monster to the level of a second-level monster."

Both reasons are valid.

Especially the last one.

As a talisman master, Wei Tu certainly knew the fatal place where the power of talismans weakened.

First-order talismans are only divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower, and the demon refining talisman is called the first-order top talisman. In fact, it is the same as the "Golden Light Talisman" that Geng Wen once used.

Only the first-tier high-grade talisman fine-quality products can reach the level of the foundation-building period, and they can turn the spirits of first-tier monsters into second-tier monsters.

Such a talisman is not to mention difficult to draw, and it is also difficult to preserve for many years without losing its power.

"If Fellow Daoist Wei is willing to agree to delve into this demon-refining talisman, I will also give it to Fellow Daoist Wei as a gift of my concubine's talisman inheritance."

At this time, Tong Peipei intervened.

——It takes time and effort to study the demon refining talisman, and it is not allowed to make huge profits. She is worried that Wei Tu will refuse this matter.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's face immediately showed emotion.

he nodded,
Indicate your consent.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wei Tu left the courtyard on Yunque Street with two more jade slips in his hands.

Of these two jade slips, one is Tong Peipei's ancestral talisman inheritance, and the other is the method of making "monster refining talisman".

As for the foundation-building method of monsters.

He Lianxiong didn't give it to Weitu, but promised Weitu that after Weitu practiced the "demon refining talisman", he would give it to Weitu.

……

Go back to Luoxueyuan.

After Wei Tu took a brief look at the method of making the "Demon Refining Talisman", he put it aside and stopped watching.

He can distinguish the priority of the matter.

Now, his top priority is to cultivate to the point of perfecting Qi training, and then choose a place to build a foundation.

Rather than improving Talisman attainments.

Even when drawing talismans, he would prefer to draw the sect task entrusted by Kou Hongying first.

Instead of this "demon refinement talisman".

Three years later.

In the training room of Luoxue Academy, Wei Tu saw his spiritual power greatly increased, and smiled, "67 years old, Qi training level seven."

It is different from Fu Zhizhou, because he has successfully transferred to the cultivation method and has a strong foundation.

Therefore, the small bottleneck from the middle stage of Qi training to the late stage of Qi training did not appear on him.

The difficulty for him to advance to the seventh level of Qi training is similar to that of advancing to the sixth level of Qi training from the fifth level.

Consolidated spiritual power for several days.

Wei Tu goes out.

At this moment, Lie Fengdiao let out a jittery cry, took an invitation card, and put it in Weitu's palm.

Perhaps it was because he knew that he was a "prisoner of war", so when Lie Fengdiao was in Luoxueyuan, he didn't even dare to put on airs of a high-grade spirit beast, and often did small things to curry favor with Wei Tu.

"The Baibao Pavilion auction?"

Seeing the contents of the invitation, Wei Tu felt moved in his heart, secretly thought that he was considered a prominent figure in Danqiu Mountain, and he was invited to the Baibao Pavilion's five-year auction.

Baibao Pavilion, in Danqiu Shanfang City, is considered to be the leading large-scale chamber of commerce.

An auction is held every five years.

Every time an auction is held, Baibao Pavilion will distribute invitations widely, inviting prominent figures in Danqiu Mountain to come and participate.

When Wei Tu lived in the small courtyard on Yunque Street, he never got an invitation from Baibao Pavilion.

"It's good to go and have a look."

Wei Tu opened the invitation and saw that the auction date was seven days later, he was very still and thought about moving.

After getting the treasure of the blood old devil.

In the territory of Qi training, there are all kinds of magic tools for body protection, and there is no need to spend money to buy other things to decorate yourself.

In terms of lack, he is now only short of "Congealing Foundation Pill" and some realm-breaking pills taken by monks in the late stage of Qi training.

"Congealing base pill, a necessary pill to break through the foundation building stage, can be purchased."

"But there is no need for the boundary-breaking pill."

Wei Tu closed the invitation and thought.

He still has lingering fears about Geng Wen's use of elixir to poison the old blood demon.

The blood old devil's combat strength is obvious to all, and everyone knows it, but he just couldn't resist the poison from the alchemist Geng Wen, and he died aggrieved.

A few years ago, if the result of the internal strife between the two was that the blood old devil lived alone, he would never have dared to appear and fight the blood old devil.

……

Seven days later.

The auction will be held as scheduled.

On this day, the closed gates of the caves in the streets of Danqiu Mountain were opened.

Hundreds of monks came out of it, gathered into a stream of people, and flocked to the Baibao Pavilion on the mountainside of Danqiu Mountain.

Wei Tu is also one of them.

The crowd moved, and Wei Tu saw the noble young master riding a spirit horse and rampaging, and also saw the real Zhuji walking in the sky.

But more monks, like him, walked on both feet, neither fast nor slow.

After entering the gate of Baibao Pavilion, and then passing through the hall and corridor, Wei Tu saw the location of the auction - a three-story jade-colored small building.

The door of the small building is open.

Wei Tu entered with the maid.

The three floors of this jade building are connected with each other. The second floor is an open platform with a handful of red sandalwood chairs, while the third floor is a small box.

He is a first-tier middle-grade talisman master. Although he was given an invitation card by Baibao Pavilion, he has not yet reached the point of giving a box ticket.

Taking a brief look around, Weitu found a remote corner and sat down.

Although this location is remote, you can still see the auction platform on the first floor and the crowds coming in and out.

as time flows.

Wei Tu saw many real people who had a good reputation in Danqiu Mountain.

"Third brother." At this moment, a slightly surprised voice came from Weitu's ear.

Wei Tu looked up and saw that it was Fu Zhizhou, so he invited him to sit with him.

"Fourth brother came to this auction, but there is something you want to buy?"

He asked curiously.

The Baibao Pavilion auction generally only invites monks who are above the late stage of Qi training to enter.

The rest of the monks had to buy tickets if they wanted to enter the auction.

Therefore, if there is nothing they want to buy, ordinary low-level monks will not easily go to the auction of Baibao Pavilion and waste their money in vain.

From the aura revealed by Fu Zhizhou, Wei Tu could see that Fu Zhizhou was still lingering on the sixth level of Qi training and had not yet broken through.

Of course, compared to his flimsy foundation three years ago, Fu Zhizhou's foundation is undoubtedly much stronger now, his breath is restrained, and his spiritual pressure is close to the seventh level of Qi training.

"At the auction, there was a Qi Dispelling Pill. Chen Yaoshi once said that if there is a Qi Dispelling Pill to help, the impurities in the Blood Food Pill in my body can be removed as much as possible."

Fu Zhizhou took his seat and replied.

While the two were chatting.

A girl in a white skirt, led by a maid, flew in the air and arrived at the box on the third floor.

Seeing the appearance of the girl in the white skirt, Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou were stunned for a while.

"Zhao Qingluo, has she broken through the foundation building stage?"

Fu Zhizhou said with a little envy.

Although he had known for a long time that Zhao Qingluo, a genius of the immortal clan, would break through the foundation building stage in the near future, but knowing it was one thing, seeing it was another.
