Chapter 415 Foundation Building Pill II, Please Do It for My Sake (First Update)

Although Master Cao was carefree, he still signed a contract with Li Qing after discussing with him about a second-level secret realm that had already been anchored.

Li Qing glanced at Jiang Minghe and Zhou Handang from the corner of his eye, and saw that they were calm and had no resentment, so he signed the contract.

Master Cao breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to set up a ban, leaving only the two of them, and then talked about the third cooperation that needed Li Qing's decision.

Li Qing frowned slightly: "Refine the foundation-building pill?!"

Master Cao nodded slightly: "I have discussed with fellow Daoist Liu He. He said that with fellow Daoist Liu He's attainments, refining the foundation-building pill is no problem, and what is missing is just a foundation-building pill formula..."

Li Qing: Actually, I don't lack the pill formula either.

He suspected that the other party was fishing: "Didn't you say that without the permission of Xuan Palace, no, the court, you can't privately refine the foundation-building pill?"

Cao Zhenren sneered: "In the past, the old man Daojun was in charge of the cardinal, so naturally no one dared to disobey. But now, those people in the royal family, huh..."

Li Qing's heart moved slightly.

After all, since Xuan Palace took the initiative to draw a clear line, the court currently does not even have a Yuanying Zhenjun.

Even if there are still a few old-fashioned Jindan Zhenren sitting in charge, their momentum is far less than before. That's why they are so ugly this time, and they came to Li Qing to collect taxes.

"But, even though the Xuan Palace doesn't care about worldly affairs, there are several officials in the court who have reached the Jindan stage. The Tanyuan Immortal City doesn't care about the big business, but my Li family can't afford to offend them."

Cao Zhenren laughed: "Even so, the law cannot punish the masses. Daoyou, do you know that it is the court itself that is taking the lead in breaking the rules?"

"A few days ago, I received a secret report that several major Jindan families and foundation-building families in the court have opened their furnaces to refine foundation-building pills."

Li Qing was shocked: "Are they crazy?!"

It should be noted that the reason why Chixiao Daojun strictly controlled the foundation-building pill before was that this thing was related to the national destiny. Excessive refining would lead to unpredictable consequences.

Cao Zhenren sneered: "Because this matter was led by the royal family themselves, it naturally became a trend."

"Daoyou, do you know that the taxes you paid may have gone directly into the furnace before entering the national treasury."

Li Qing was silent.

This news really shocked him.

He was silent for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "I wonder what the rules are for the cooperation you are talking about, brother?"

Cao Zhenren saw that he was interested, so he handed over a legal contract: "Daoyou, please take a look."

Li Qing scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that the conditions were similar to those of Gu Changsheng.

That is, Tanyuan Xiancheng gave him a pill recipe and provided materials at the same time. For every furnace that refined three or more pills, the Li family could intercept one.

Li Qing thought: Too many lice don't itch, too many debts don't worry. Since he had already agreed to Gu Changsheng, it might be okay to cooperate with Tanyuan Xiancheng again.

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated: "I agree to this matter. But there is one thing, if I gather the pill materials myself, the pills I refine belong to me."

Cao Zhenren smiled and nodded: "Of course. But the orders from my Xiancheng should be refined first."

Li Qing agreed.

The two parties soon signed another legal contract, which was kept secret so tightly that even Li Yu and Jiang Zhou were unaware of it.

Master Cao put away a copy of the deed with satisfaction, and then handed over a recipe.

Li Qing took it and looked at it. The spiritual medicines on it were very familiar: "Xuan Yang Ginseng, Yin Lingzhi, Chongming Grass, Xuanshui Essence, Xuan Snake Shedding, this is..."

Master Cao nodded: "Yes, this is the foundation-building recipe that Daoist Liu He has kept in the bottom of the box."

Li Qing was stunned: "Tanyuan Immortal City should have its own recipe, how come..."

Master Cao smiled and said: "Each foundation-building recipe has its own characteristics. Qi training and even foundation building cannot find it, but it is clear as fire for Dan Jie and above."

Li Qing suddenly realized: This is probably to keep it secret, in case something happens, so that he can shirk responsibility.

This is human nature, he is not dissatisfied, but just puzzled: "I don't know why Daoist Liu gave this recipe to someone else?"

A chicken that lays golden eggs, even an old mortal woman who can't read a word, is reluctant to sell it.

Master Cao smiled: "Fellow Daoist Liu is reluctant to give it up, but someone wants to use it to make a career."

Li Qing's mind flashed back to the previous incident when Liu He was refining the foundation-building pill, and the quality of the pill decreased due to an accident. He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's also his family's misfortune..."

Master Cao did not comment, and took out three sets of foundation-building pill materials from the storage bag: "The first time you refine the foundation-building pill, it is inevitable that the success rate is not good. These are my Xiancheng's sponsorship to fellow Daoists."

"If the refining fails, the materials will be mine. But if there is a success, it will still be in accordance with the provisions of the contract."

Li Qing couldn't ask for it, after all, it was quite troublesome to collect the materials for the foundation-building pill.

After the two of them discussed it, they dispersed the isolation ban.

Since the materials for the pill were delivered, Li Qing naturally couldn't delay for long, so he found an excuse to keep Master Cao and his party.

And with him helping to deal with Master Qingli, Li Qing felt more at ease.

That night, Li Qing set up a small banquet in his own cave and invited Jiang Minghe and Zhou Hanguang to have a chat.

Compared to the last time they met, the two were obviously much more reserved.

Li Qing smiled and comforted: "We have been friends for decades, and you were my predecessors before, so there is really no need to be restrained."

Jiang Minghe smiled and said: "The real person is now the master of the blessed land, and his position is comparable to that of the Jindan. We two admire him very much, so it is inevitable that we feel a little awkward."

Li Qing smiled and did not persuade him anymore. He asked about the secret realm again: "Didn't you say that you would occupy it alone and not let the Immortal City know? Why is it now..."

Zhou Hanguang shook his head: "We were thinking wrong. In fact, the three real people in the fairy city helped to anchor the secret realm successfully."

Li Qing suddenly realized: "I said that the secret realm has many secrets. It is too simple for you two to anchor it."

He paused and was a little curious: "Then how did this matter come to light again? Logically, since the three helped secretly, they would not expose it again."

Jiang Minghe smiled bitterly and said: "The guardian spirit beast was too fierce. It exploded when it disagreed with something, and almost shook the foundation of the secret realm. Seeing that the situation was not good, a master uncle had to show up."

Zhou Hanguang was a little ashamed: "Since our master passed away, we always felt that someone in the fairy city was targeting us, so we were a little suspicious."

"We only found out after something happened that the three real people did not give up our lineage and took care of us in secret. We are also very ashamed."

Li Qing's mind changed, and he felt that the two people's previous feelings were not necessarily suspicious.

The three immortals may have the idea of ​​taking care of the younger generation, but the red fruit tree in that secret realm is half dead and its value is actually limited.

Even if the two of them ask someone to save the fruit tree and create great value, can't the secret realm be taken over by the Immortal City at any time?

Li Qing had a narcissistic thought: Could it be for my sake? (End of this chapter)
