Chapter 572 Five Methods!

"You've got the point."

Yuan Qingyun smiled and glanced at Wei Hong.

In fact, the question Wei Hong asked was the most crucial one.

If you can't even get the foundation-building pill, then let alone build the foundation.

As a foundation-building cultivator, Yuan Qingyun has been in Cangshan Immortal City for so many years, so he is very clear about the methods to obtain the foundation-building pill, which is also the information Wei Hong urgently needs to know.

Yuan Qingyun pondered for a while, and then explained: "In this Cangshan Immortal City, there are normally five ways to obtain the foundation-building pill."

"Which five?" Wei Hong was very excited.

Yuan Qingyun looked at Wei Hong with amusement and said, "The first way is to join the Cangshan Guard of Cangshan Immortal City. This Cangshan Guard is a cultivator army formed by Cangshan Immortal City. It is usually used to maintain the public security of the immortal city, protect some families, hunt monsters, and deal with some special events, etc."

"The mortality rate of this Cangshan Guard is extremely high, and a large number of cultivators are recruited every year."

"And the condition for obtaining the foundation-building pill is to survive in the Cangshan Guard for twenty years. After twenty years, you can automatically get a foundation-building pill, and you can also join the inner city's guard team."

After introducing the first method of obtaining the foundation-building pill, Yuan Qingyun stopped talking for a while.

As expected, he immediately saw Wei Hong frowning on his face, and a face full of resistance, obviously unable to accept this method at all.

Wei Hong shook his head firmly and said, "Senior Yuan, this method is not suitable for me, and twenty years is too long!"

Even if there is no choice, he will not choose this method.

Let’s not talk about whether he can survive in the Cangshan Guard for twenty years with his strength. Even if he can, it would take twenty years to get a foundation-building pill, which Wei Hong cannot accept no matter what.

Moreover, the annual mortality rate of the Cangshan Guard is extremely high, otherwise they would not recruit so many cultivators into the team every year. Therefore, no matter how strong he is, he does not want to take this risk.

"Haha, I knew you would say that!" Yuan Qingyun smiled faintly, and then continued to introduce: "Then let's talk about the other methods. The second method is to join Cangshan Immortal Prison as a jailer."

"The so-called Cangshan Immortal Prison is actually a prison set up by Cangshan Zhenren, which is specially used to detain various criminals and some enemies of Cangshan Immortal City. From the Qi training stage to the Jindan stage, there are all kinds of criminals, and there are also some powerful monsters."

"No one knows how many criminals are imprisoned in Cangshan Immortal Prison, but there is a very strong murderous aura inside the prison, because many criminals are killed and injured every year, and the evil aura has become extremely strong as it accumulates day by day."

"After joining Cangshan Immortal Prison as a jailer, you need to be tortured and cleansed by the evil aura every day in prison, and you can get a foundation-building pill after 20 years."

This method sounds like it is not much different from the first one.

But Wei Hong knew very well that the death rate of the jailers in Cangshan Immortal Prison might be much higher than that of the Cangshan Guards, because the evil spirit entering the body is not something that ordinary cultivators can bear. In the end, they will either explode and die or the evil spirit will enter their brains, and then they will become crazy zombies. Therefore, this method is even more unsuitable for Wei Hong.

Before Wei Hong could say anything, Yuan Qingyun already understood what he meant, so he continued to introduce: "This third method is much safer, and there is basically no big danger. That is to join various immortal cultivation families, large or small, but joining an immortal cultivation family requires signing a contract with them, and they will also be controlled by others. Generally, you can get a foundation-building pill after working hard for twenty years."

After speaking, Yuan Qingyun looked at Wei Hong with a funny look.

Wei Hong couldn't help but feel helpless. He didn't expect that the time limit of the first three methods all required at least twenty years.

And either the death rate was extremely high or it needed to be controlled by others, which was not within his consideration at all.

Especially the third method, signing a contract with those immortal cultivation families and then being controlled by them, this is something Wei Hong absolutely cannot accept, even if he chooses the first two, he will not choose to be controlled by others.

In this way, the first three methods do not need to be considered at all.

Wei Hong exhaled lightly and smiled bitterly: "Senior Yuan, forget about the first three methods, they are not suitable for juniors, please continue to teach me!"

"Hehe, you casual cultivators seem to be extremely averse to these three methods." Yuan Qingyun was not surprised, and after commenting, he continued: "Since you no longer consider the first three methods, there are only two methods left."

"The fourth method is the auction. Cangshan Immortal City is a huge city, and there are countless auctions of all sizes. In addition, there is a large auction that lasts for three days every year, and there will definitely be foundation-building pills at the auction."

"It's just that I want to grab one at the auction. A foundation-building pill requires a lot of financial resources. "

"As far as I know, the reserve price of the foundation-building pill at each auction is around 10,000 spirit stones, but it is often snatched up to 40,000 or 50,000 spirit stones, and even up to 60,000 spirit stones or more is common."

"After all, this is the easiest way to get the foundation-building pill, and there is no shortage of people with money in the fairy city."

Speaking of this, Yuan Qingyun seemed to see that Wei Hong had a little intention, so he immediately sneered: "But if you don't have a background and no strength, even if you grab a foundation-building pill at the auction, you will be stared at to death. Don't let yourself be able to bid but not be able to leave with the foundation-building pill."

Wei Hong was immediately shocked by Yuan Qingyun's reminder.

Originally, he was really planning to accumulate spirit stones to try his luck at the auction, but when he thought that he had no background and no strength, even if he really won the foundation-building pill, he would not be able to take the foundation-building pill away, so this idea immediately dissipated.

"Thank you, Senior Yuan, for your advice!" Wei Hong thanked him gratefully.

Yuan Qingyun shook his head, and then continued: "This last method is to collect spiritual herbs and medicines by yourself, and then find an experienced alchemist to help refine the foundation-building pill."

"Of course, even a second-level alchemist cannot guarantee that the pill will be successful, and the pill-producing rate cannot be guaranteed. Whether the pill is produced depends entirely on luck and the alchemist's skills. If you choose this method, you'd better be prepared to lose all your money."

Even the alchemy master dare not guarantee that every furnace of pills can be successful, and once the pill-refining fails, it means that the various spiritual flowers and herbs that Wei Hong has collected will be completely scrapped, and all previous efforts will be in vain.

These five methods all have different risks and costs.

After listening to this, Wei Hong fell into deep thought!
