Chapter 23 Foundation-Building Elixir
Wang Hao played with everyone for a while, then went back to his room to rest.
The next day, he followed Wang Yanfeng down the mountain and rushed to Fangshi.
This time, the two were riding horses, and their speed was much faster. Wang Hao took the top three and got a horse chasing the wind, so he naturally wanted to ride it.
The two returned to Fangshi in four days.
Wang Yanfeng said: "I can only stay for half a month. How much you can learn depends on your ability!"
Wang Hao smiled and said: "It's natural. I don't dare to waste Uncle Eighth's time. Uncle Eighth just needs to introduce the import and export channels, connections and resources to my nephew!"
Wang's elixir shop is said to be an elixir shop, but it is actually a grocery store.
The store covers an area of five acres, with two floors facing the street in front, a lobby on the first floor, and a private room on the second floor for receiving important guests. Wang Yanfeng usually monitors the entire store situation on the second floor.
Behind it is a large courtyard and a place where everyone in the Wang family lives.
Wang Hao took over this place and will move here in the future. It is closer to the spiritual veins and the spiritual energy is richer, so it is suitable for Wang Hao to cultivate immortality.
However, there are gains and losses. The elixir shop has a lot of work. As the manager, Wang Hao may not be as free as before.
Not long after the two entered the store, customers came to the door.
In fact, he is not a customer, but a broker, who is responsible for helping people contact businesses and collecting benefits.
There are many casual cultivators in Qingniufang. The larger the number, the higher the probability of collecting good things. However, many casual cultivators are inherently distrustful of shops and think that the shops are bullying customers, so they prefer to trade through brokers.
This man's name is Chang Bao. He is in his forties and has reached the seventh level of Qi training. If Wang Hao wants to collect elixirs in the future, he will have to deal with Chang Bao.
"Fellow Daoist Wang is not kind. He left Fangshi without notifying Chang." Chang Bao asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Hey, I'm really sorry. Wang forgot to tell fellow Taoists because of the urgent call from his family. It's not my fault," Wang Yanfeng apologized with a smile.
"It doesn't matter to me, but several fellow Taoists who sell spiritual herbs are impatient. If you don't want it, I can recommend it to others!"
"No way, Wang is not here!" He took out five spiritual stones and stuffed them into Chang Bao's hands: "Invite fellow Taoist to tea, don't refuse!"
Seeing the spirit stone, Chang Bao changed his face in a Sichuan opera, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Wang, you don't know what I am like, Chang Bao!"
At this time, he saw Wang Hao standing aside and asked, "Who is this fellow Taoist!"
"Fellow Daoist Chang, don't leave in a hurry. I was about to tell you that this is my nephew Wang Hao. From now on, this store will be under his control." Wang Yanfeng glanced at Wang Hao and said, "Why don't you greet me quickly? The business of our Wang family store is very good." It all depends on Taoist friend Chang to take care of me.”
Wang Hao nodded and said: "Junior Wang Hao, I have met my senior."
Chang Bao hurriedly said: "How dare you? Wang Daoyou is a descendant of the Wang family. How dare Chang, a casual cultivator, support his senior!"
"You and I are brothers, and he is my nephew. It is not an exaggeration to call you senior!" Wang Yanfeng said with a smile: "In the future, I will have to trouble Taoist friend Chang to take care of my nephew!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Chang Bao agreed, but mentally he was thinking about Wang Yanfeng, the old man. Wang Hao is young, and he might be able to get more advantages in the future! But after all, he is a member of the Wang family, so he doesn't dare to take advantage of it. If the Wang family suffers a big loss, he is courting death!
"I really have a big business here to introduce to the Wang family," Chang Bao glanced out the door. Wang Hao naturally knew what it meant, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Senior Chang, talk upstairs!"
After going upstairs, the three of them found a private room to sit down, and Wang Yanfeng said: "Brother Chang, tell me, what a big deal it is!"
"Haha, this is a miracle medicine that can find business with the Wang family!" Chang Bao smiled, not trying to be an official: "As for the magic medicine of Foundation Establishment Pill, is this business big enough?"
Wang Yanfeng looked curious and asked: "There are more than a dozen elixirs related to the Foundation Establishment Pill, but most of them are not very precious. I wonder what elixirs they are?"
Chang Bao smiled proudly: "Since I said it's a big business, I don't dare to bother my dear brother with ordinary elixirs!" He lowered his voice: "It's a borage plant. This is the three ingredients for refining the foundation building pill." One of the great medicines!”
Hearing Wang Hao's sudden excitement, he had collected seven or eight auxiliary medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was not difficult to find the rest if he had the patience to search for them. Among the three main medicines, Condensation Fruit and Borage had never been found. Heard the news.
The foundation-building pill has three main ingredients, namely Ning Yuan fruit, 200-year-old red blood ginseng, and 300-year-old borage!
The Condensing Yuan Fruit must at least be of the second-order high-grade, which means that the fruit must be at least the second-order high-grade Condensing Yuan Fruit tree to be effective. The higher the grade, the better the quality of the Foundation Establishment Pill. The function of the Yuan Condensing Fruit is to provide sufficient spiritual power for the monks to condense the true energy, which is the key to foundation building.
Red blood ginseng is a tonic. When a monk breaks through, his Dantian and meridians will inevitably be torn. The function of this medicine is to repair the damaged Dantian and meridians.
Borage has a protective effect. Taking it alone is harmful to monks, but taking it during foundation building can harden the Dantian and meridians in a short time, making it able to withstand the impact of the massive spiritual energy during foundation building.
There are also auxiliary drugs with different functions. There are those that protect the meridians, those that provide Qi and blood, and those that clear your mind.
It can also be seen from the effects of borage that this medicine is very dangerous, so its year is very important. If the medicine is too low, it will not be effective enough, if it is too high, it will cause the monk to fail to build the foundation! It only lasts about three hundred years!
Taking the Foundation Building Pill, even if the foundation building fails, its medicinal effect can strengthen the Dantian and meridians, increasing the success rate of the next foundation building by 10%, and the body will not be seriously damaged.
There is no need to forcibly build the foundation with the Foundation Establishment Pill. It is easy to say if it succeeds. Once it fails, it is likely to be fatal. If you barely survive, your foundation will be damaged and your lifespan will be greatly reduced.
"May I ask, senior, whether this borage plant is dead or alive, and what year it is?" Wang Hao suppressed his excitement and asked.
Chang Bao said: "Of course it is alive. The year is a bit low, only eighty years!"
"Eighty years? Then it's useless. You can only exchange it for spiritual stones!" Wang Yanfeng sighed.
"Brother Wang Xian, so what if it's three hundred years, can you still find the Ning Yuan Fruit? Let's make a profit and get it," Chang Bao chuckled. He had given up the idea of building a foundation for a long time in his life.
Wang Yanfeng lamented the difficulty of building the foundation, and then asked: "I wonder where the elixir is? Has it been picked or not?"
Chang Bao smiled and said: "Don't worry, dear brother, the medicine has not been harvested yet. I know the price difference. I have already told you. As for where it is, it is up to you two to talk about it. I...", said He crossed his fingers.
Wang Yanfeng took out twenty spiritual stones and handed them over: "After the matter is completed, there will still be this number!"
Chang Bao nodded with satisfaction: "I understand the rules. I'll call someone right away and you can talk!"
After Chang Bao walked out of the door, Wang Hao asked: "Uncle Eighth, is there a big difference between picking and unpicking the elixir?"
Wang Yanfeng explained: "This is natural. Those casual cultivators use rough methods and do not understand the techniques of spiritual plants at all. This often causes damage to the roots of spiritual plants. It takes several years to cultivate them even if they can barely survive. Sometimes it also affects the properties of the medicine. In this way, the price Isn’t the difference big?”
"So, we actually buy a location for the elixir and pick it ourselves, right?"
"Well, that's right, but it can only happen if you cherish the elixir," Wang Yanfeng warned: "Duanyuan Mountain is full of dangers, and these casual cultivators are not honest, and murders and treasure grabbing happen from time to time. You have to remember , Never take risks just because of small profits!”
What Wang Yanfeng means is that if the benefits are great enough, one can ignore the risks. Capitalists throughout the ages are really shitty!
