Chapter 71 Foundation Building (4000 words, please subscribe)
"Fellow Daoist Shen, there are two things I need your help with."
Zhang Wuyan enthusiastically served Shen Luoluo tea.
Shen Luoluo glanced at Zhang Wuyan and said, "Tell me."
"This is a book I compiled with knowledge about alchemy."
Zhang Wuyan took out the prepared book and said, "Go find those alchemy masters and exchange my books for their experience and knowledge."
Shen Luoluo looked at Zhang Wuyan doubtfully, "Will they change?"
She knows that Zhang Wuyan can make alchemy, but how much knowledge of alchemy do you have at the level of Qi training? Are those alchemy masters willing to trade with you?
Zhang Wuyan was confident, "Don't worry, they will definitely be willing to change."
Zhang Wuyan's own alchemy knowledge may still be insufficient, but the alchemy knowledge in Hong Shuozhou's memory was accumulated by several generations of the Hong family over the years and is absolutely extremely precious.
Shen Luoluo said nothing more and put away the books Zhang Wuyan made, "What's one more thing?"
"The second thing is that you tell me everything you went through after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, in detail."
Zhang Wuyan said seriously: "What smell did you smell, what color did you see, how did you feel... tell me everything in detail."
Shen Luoluo was even more confused, not knowing what Zhang Wuyan wanted to do.
Shen Luoluo would never have imagined that Zhang Wuyan wanted to develop the Foundation Building Pill himself, and would not even think about it in that direction. This was really crazy.
Although she didn't understand Zhang Wuyan's intention, Shen Luoluo still honestly told everything she had experienced after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, and answered the various questions raised by Zhang Wuyan very seriously.
After finishing this matter, Shen Luoluo left with Zhang Wuyan's alchemy knowledge and exchanged it with other alchemy masters.
Zhang Wuyan summarized Shen Luoluo's foundation-building process and Hong Shuozhou's foundation-building process, and then took out the foundation-building pill in his hand for in-depth study.
Not long after, Shen Luoluo came back with a look of disbelief on his face, "Those alchemy masters were ecstatic after seeing your alchemy knowledge, and they all agreed to exchange it with me."
She put down five jade slips in front of Zhang Wuyan, "You can put them between your eyebrows and watch."
Zhang Wuyan thanked him and quickly absorbed the alchemy knowledge contained in these five jade slips.
Combining the knowledge of many alchemy masters, Zhang Wuyan crushed the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand into powder and scanned it over and over again with his spiritual consciousness.
Moreover, he also personally tried the foundation-building pill powder.
Since he only ate a small amount, there was no need to worry about him being overpowered by the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Three years have passed since this research.
Zhang Wuyan developed a foundation-building elixir by himself.
Then he changed into different appearances and bought various materials in various markets.
After gathering the materials, Zhang Wuyan called Shen Luoluo to protect him and officially started refining the Foundation Building Pill.
He did not tell Shen Luoluo what he was doing, and he would wait until the Foundation Establishment Pill was successfully refined.
Taking out the alchemy furnace that had been prepared long ago, Zhang Wuyan put various materials into the alchemy furnace. The flames rose and the materials were refined into a solution, which was constantly changing and condensing under the control of his spiritual consciousness.
Finally, a thumb-sized Foundation Establishment Pill appeared.
"Well, at least from the appearance and smell, this thing is exactly the same as the real Foundation Establishment Pill."
As for whether it is a real foundation-building pill, it still needs to be tested.
Of course he himself would not be the guinea pig for this experiment.
He has asked Shen Luoluo to capture a few of the ninth-level Qi practitioners who have committed evil crimes, and they are the best test subjects.
He had done this kind of thing many years ago in the mortal world.
Arriving at the place where the test subjects were kept, Zhang Wuyan didn't waste any time. He force-fed one of them with the Foundation Establishment Pill, and then penetrated his body with his spiritual consciousness, carefully observing the changes in his body and mana.
Of course, there are also changes in the sea of consciousness.
The biggest difference between foundation building and Qi training is to open up the sea of consciousness and give birth to spiritual consciousness.
Zhang Wuyan's own spiritual consciousness was born by chance, and he wanted to figure out the normal birth method of spiritual consciousness.
After this ninth-level Qi practitioner took the foundation-building pill, the mana in his body began to change rapidly, constantly impacting the foundation-building level.
"It must succeed."
Zhang Wuyan said secretly.
As long as he succeeds, it means that there is no problem with the Foundation Establishment Pill he refined, and he can take it himself.
However, contrary to expectations, after three days, the man still failed and died.
"He died while opening up the sea of consciousness."
Zhang Wuyan "sees" it clearly, which is also the reason why most of the ninth-level qi-training peak foundation building fails.
It is too dangerous to open up the sea of consciousness. After all, it involves the mysterious and unpredictable soul. If you are not careful, the soul will be annihilated.
In fact, Zhang Wuyan had long suspected that he had already opened up the sea of consciousness and could easily succeed in building the foundation, but he did not dare to take this risk.
What if the sea of consciousness opened up by oneself is incomplete?
So he had to get the perfect foundation-building pill.
"Although he failed, it does not mean that there is something wrong with my Foundation Establishment Pill."
Zhang Wuyan knew that even if he used the foundation-building pills refined by those big forces, the foundation-building pills might still fail. This was not a problem with the pills, but a problem with people, and a problem with bad luck.
"But my elixir still needs improvement."
Zhang Wuyan returned to research and perfected his own foundation-building elixir.
After perfecting it, he refined a new foundation-building pill and gave it to the test subjects who had reached the ninth level of Qi training.
The first one failed.
The second one failed.
The third one failed.
…
The continuous failures did not discourage Zhang Wuyan, but made him more intoxicated. He had a premonition that he would succeed soon.
Why such a premonition?
Because his proficiency panel shows that his second-level alchemy has reached the perfect state.
The Foundation-Building Pill is only average among second-level elixirs. With his perfect second-level alchemy skills, he can definitely get the Foundation-Building Pill.
finally.
A powerful aura erupted from the ninth test subject, "Haha, you can't believe it, I succeeded in building the foundation, die!"
He was about to slap Zhang Wuyan to death with one palm. Zhang Wuyan watched coldly when Shen Luoluo suddenly appeared and smashed the man into pieces with a blow of his magic sword.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you, you really succeeded."
Zhang Wuyan often conducted experiments over the years, and Shen Luoluo naturally knew what Zhang Wuyan was doing.
She originally thought that Zhang Wuyan could not succeed, but she did not expect that Zhang Wuyan actually did it.
He developed the recipe for the Foundation Building Pill himself!
Even in Shen Luoluo's state of mind, she couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
If I tell it, no one will believe it.
Zhang Wuyan grinned and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, we have sent it. I have seen a large number of spirit stones running towards us."
Shen Luoluo took a deep breath to calm down his turbulent mood, "To build your foundation, you need a perfect foundation-building pill, which is not easy to refine."
Zhang Wuyan waved his hand, "That's because for others, I can easily refine a perfect foundation-building pill."
"Yes, you can even develop a foundation-building pill. It is not difficult for you to refine a perfect foundation-building pill."
Shen Luoluo said: "Hurry up and refine the perfect foundation-building pill, build the foundation as soon as possible, and I will protect you."
"Um."
Zhang Wuyan did not refuse and quickly refined the perfect foundation-building pill.
"Foundation Building Realm...here I come!"
Zhang Wuyan took the perfect foundation-building pill and attacked the final level.
In just one day, a powerful aura came from Zhang Wuyan's room.
"Successful."
Shen Luoluo, who was protecting the law outside, smiled.
Finally, Zhang Wuyan successfully built the foundation and his life span reached two hundred years.
After opening the door and walking out, Shen Luoluo looked at Zhang Wuyan and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin has become younger."
Zhang Wuyan smiled, saying that breaking through the Foundation Establishment would indeed make people younger, but he did not become younger by breaking through the Foundation Establishment, but by using the "Thousand Illusion Jue".
"Fellow Daoist Shen, next I will vigorously refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. We will rely on the Foundation Establishment Pill to earn a large amount of spiritual stones."
Foundation Building Pill is the best way to make money, and it must be used well.
Shen Luoluo muttered: "Fellow Daoist Qin, the Foundation Establishment Pill has always been in the hands of those big forces. If we sell the Foundation Establishment Pill, we will be competing with them for business. I'm afraid they won't let us go."
"Fellow Daoist Shen, don't worry. I have already prepared. You don't have to worry about this matter. You can just wait and collect the spirit stones."
Shen Luoluo helped him a lot. Without her, he would never have been able to successfully build the foundation now. Zhang Wuyan would repay her no matter what, and repay her vigorously.
"But you still have to do something for me."
"you say."
"Go and buy some elixirs, such as beauty pills, face-slimming pills, breast enhancement pills, leg-lengthening pills, and foot-beautifying pills..."
"..." Shen Luoluo rolled her eyes at Zhang Wuyan, "Why did you buy these pills?"
"Of course it works."
These elixirs are of low quality but extremely expensive, and Zhang Wuyan wants to use them to earn spiritual stones.
Shen Luoluo probably guessed what Zhang Wuyan was thinking, and she immediately went to do the work without hesitation.
Although she has always been stronger than Zhang Wuyan, she never hesitated to do anything Zhang Wuyan asked her to do.
"Next, double thread to earn spiritual stones."
Zhang Wuyan left the retreat and kept changing his appearance to buy materials in various markets. For absolute safety, he would buy one type of material and even use two identities.
After being busy like this for a month, he bought a large amount of alchemy materials and also spent all the spiritual stones he and Shen Luoluo had.
Both of them are now penniless.
But this is only temporary, and a large amount of spiritual stones will enter their pockets next.
Zhang Wuyan was refining pills non-stop, and one foundation-building pill after another was born in his pill furnace.
Most of these foundation-building pills are medium-level foundation-building pills, with a few ordinary-level and high-quality foundation-building pills, and there are no perfect-level foundation-building pills.
It's not that he doesn't want to refine the perfect foundation-building pill, but the price of the perfect-grade foundation-building pill is too high and his target customers can't afford it, so there is no need to refine it.
While Zhang Wuyan was refining the elixir, Shen Luoluo was not idle either. Following Zhang Wuyan's instructions, she was carefully collecting information on target customers.
When Zhang Wuyan finished refining the alchemy and came out of seclusion, Shen Luoluo also collected a lot of information.
"Do you really want to sell the Foundation Establishment Pill alone? Let me go. I am stronger than you and can do things safer than you."
Shen Luoluo said.
Zhang Wuyan waved his hand, "Don't worry about this matter, just wait for my good news."
Shen Luoluo is stronger than himself, Zhang Wuyan does not object, but it is obviously safer for Zhang Wuyan to do this kind of thing.
Because he has "Thousand Fantasy Secrets".
There is a possibility that Shen Luoluo will be exposed, and once he is exposed, he will be killed.
And he, Zhang Wuyan, will never be exposed.
Since he broke through to the foundation-building realm and perfected the "Thousand Illusion Jue", no one in the foundation-building realm can see his true appearance.
Even Jin Dan Zhenren has to observe carefully to break his "Thousand Illusion Jue".
As his cultivation level increases, even Jindan Zhenren may not be able to see through his true face.
Zhang Wuyan left quickly.
On a high mountain, Zhang Wuyan changed his appearance and figure again, standing with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for something.
Not long after, an old man flying with a sword came from a distance.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay."
Zhang Wuyan spoke, and his tyrannical aura intercepted the old man flying with his sword.
Wu Fu's expression changed drastically, he stopped quickly, looked at Zhang Wuyan, and saluted respectfully, "I've seen you, senior."
Zhang Wuyan looked much younger than him, but the aura of the foundation-building realm shook his mind. Wu Fu was only at the ninth level of Qi training, how could he resist it?
"Don't panic, fellow Taoist, I just want to make a deal with you."
Zhang Wuyan had a kind smile on his face, "I heard that the Taoist monk wants to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Wu Fu smiled helplessly, "Back to senior, junior really wants the Foundation Building Pill."
Zhang Wuyan waved his hand, and a mid-level foundation-building pill flew in front of Wu Fu, "I have a foundation-building pill here, and I will sell it to you directly. Just give me the regular price."
Wu Fu was stunned. Sold me the Foundation Establishment Pill? What's the conspiracy? This pill looked the same as the Foundation Establishment Pill and smelled the same as the Foundation Establishment Pill, but Wu Fu really didn't dare to take it.
He wanted to say something, but Zhang Wuyan interrupted: "You don't have to worry about me harming you. Do you think that with my strength, I don't need to use conspiracy to harm you?"
Wu Fu was silent for a moment, "Senior can kill me with just a few strokes. There is really no need to use conspiracy to harm me. I don't have any treasures worthy of senior's covet."
"As long as you understand, I also want to tell you clearly that I want your treasures and spiritual stones, but I don't like killing people to seize treasures, so I will use a Foundation Establishment Pill in exchange."
Zhang Wuyan said: "I don't kill people to seize treasures, nor do I buy or sell by force. If you agree, I will spend money to buy this Foundation Establishment Pill. If you don't agree, I will leave immediately."
Zhang Wuyan didn't lie to him. If Wu Fu didn't agree, he would have lost the opportunity to build the foundation pill. Zhang Wuyan didn't care, just replace him with someone else.
Wu Fu's mind was running rapidly. After a moment, he took out his storage bag and offered it with both hands, "Senior has the ability to kill me at will, but he chooses fair trade. I believe in senior."
"You made the right decision. I wish you success in building your foundation."
Zhang Wu extended his hand to suck the storage bag, leaving the Foundation Establishment Pill behind, and the figure disappeared.
