Chapter 582: Refining the Foundation-Building Pill Together!

Five years later.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye!

In the world of immortal cultivation, some high-level cultivators may spend more than five years in seclusion. For cultivators, five years is actually very short. For a giant city like Cangshan Immortal City that has stood for hundreds of years, five years is not a long time.

But in Cangshan Immortal City, too many things happened in five years.

Every year, a large number of casual cultivators come here to admire its reputation, and of course many casual cultivators die for various reasons.

Cangshan Immortal City is still prosperous, but a batch of cultivators have been quietly replaced.

However, for Wei Hong, five years is not short at all.

After returning from that trip to find medicine, he has never left Cangshan Immortal City again.

For five years, he has stayed in the Immortal City every day and has never gone out.

Moreover, his life has become extremely monotonous and boring. Every day, he either repairs the array or practices, and occasionally draws various talismans as a supplement to his own foundation.

He first bought eight first-class talismans from the black market of Qingyun Mountain, and then looted several talismans during the turbulent period. These are the best of the first-class talismans. Once drawn, regardless of the price, the effect of each talisman is very good.

Therefore, Wei Hong often took time to practice drawing various talismans in addition to work and cultivation, both to improve the realm of talismans and to increase his own means.

After settling down in the fairy city, he once again cultivated low-level spiritual insects such as yellow flies in the stone house.

After all, this low-level spiritual insect is related to the acquisition of vitality points, and it is also the only source of all his vitality points at present, so he attaches great importance to it and cultivates it again.

After five years, he has obtained a large number of vitality points, so he has already maxed out all kinds of talismans and spells to the limit, and has become very familiar with various newly acquired talismans.

It can be said that among the cultivators in the Qi training stage, Wei Hong is definitely the best talisman painter. He does not believe that there is anyone in the same stage who is more proficient in talisman painting than him.

Of course, he has not completely given up on alchemy.

At the beginning, he also bought three first-grade top-grade pill recipes in the black market. In addition to the ones he exchanged from Ding Xue and the ones he looted during the turmoil in the market, there are almost ten pill recipes in total, and he learned them all.

Moreover, he also used vitality points to max out the methods of refining these pill recipes to the limit. Although he may be lacking in practice, his theoretical knowledge has long become extremely solid. As long as he can spare the energy to practice more, he will definitely be able to quickly master all the various pill recipes he has learned.

These are just inconspicuous changes in Wei Hong's daily life, and no one knows except himself.

As early as two years ago, his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, and there was really no room for improvement. Except for breaking through to the foundation-building stage, his cultivation could not be improved at all.

Of course, in addition to daily practice and talisman drawing, Wei Hong still puts more energy on repairing the array plate, after all, this is related to the speed of his accumulation of spiritual stones.

Wei Hong also takes business from several array stores at the same time, and there are endless array plates to repair every day.

Therefore, his daily life has become monotonous and busy.

But the result of being busy is still satisfactory to Wei Hong, because he can earn at least 2,000 spiritual stones every month.

Excluding various expenses in daily life, including elixirs, etc., he can still save about 1,000 every month, and there are tens of thousands of spiritual stones in a year.

During this period, Wei Hong also bought three spiritual medicines through various channels.

"Jade marrow!"

"Tianyuan fruit!"

"Amethyst flower!"

Looking at the three jade boxes in front of him, Wei Hong gently read out the names of the spiritual medicines stored in the jade boxes.

These three spiritual medicines are one of the main medicines needed to refine the foundation-building pill.

Each of these three spiritual medicines is worth more than 10,000 spiritual stones. The most expensive one is the Tianyuan fruit, which costs almost 20,000 spiritual stones.

After buying these three spiritual medicines, Wei Hong's spiritual stones accumulated for five years were almost gone.

But he did not regret it at all, because the purpose of accumulating spiritual stones was to buy spiritual medicines.

Besides, as long as he could be promoted to the foundation-building stage, he felt that it was worth spending any spiritual stones.

After a careful inspection, he put the three jade boxes into the storage bag after finding nothing unusual, and then said to himself: "It's almost done. I spent five years accumulating spiritual medicines. Now the last purple crystal flower has been obtained. I can almost start refining pills. I think fellow Taoists Huang and Jiang should also be fully prepared!"

Since buying the first spiritual medicine, Yumenzhi, Wei Hong found an alchemist in the alchemy workshop under the recommendation of Yuan Qingyun.

This person is called Qin Hua, a second-level middle-grade alchemist. For Wei Hong, he is definitely a real alchemy master and a person he looks up to at present.

And just when he found the alchemist, there were two other cultivators at the peak of Qi training who also wanted to find Qin Hua to refine the foundation-building pill for them.

The two cultivators were a man and a woman, named Huang Tianzhi and Jiang Yuan.

So with the matchmaking of the alchemist Qin Hua, the three of them hit it off.

In simple terms, the three of them worked together to buy a set of spiritual medicines for refining the foundation-building pill. As long as the spiritual medicines were gathered, the alchemist Qin Hua could start refining the pill.

The refined foundation-building pills would also be distributed according to the contribution of Wei Hong and the other two.

The so-called contribution is calculated based on how many spiritual medicines each person has taken out. The one who has contributed the most will be given priority, and then the ranking will be arranged in order of contribution until the last person.

Of course, alchemy is not 100% successful. If the alchemy fails, it means that the efforts and contributions of the three of them will be in vain, and the alchemist Qin Hua will not charge a penny.

If the alchemy is successful, they will have to pay the alchemist Qin Hua 3,000 spiritual stones.

Even if the pill is successfully produced, the pill rate is unpredictable, and even the alchemist cannot control it, so there will be a shortage of pills.

For example, if only one pill is produced this time, then this foundation-building pill can only be obtained by the one who has taken out the most spiritual medicine.

If two pills are produced, only the first two can get it. Only when more than three pills are produced can Wei Hong and the other three get a foundation-building pill each.

For such a situation, Wei Hong and the other three naturally discussed relevant countermeasures a long time ago.

According to the result of the discussion among the three of them, if the number of pills produced is really less than three, then the people who are behind and fail to obtain the foundation-building pill will receive a compensation, and the minimum amount must not be less than 5,000 spirit stones, which can be regarded as a consolation that is better than nothing.

In this regard, Wei Hong had no choice but to agree due to reality.

Because according to the progress of the three of them collecting spiritual medicines, he happened to be the one who produced the least spiritual medicine.

"I hope that more than three pills can be produced!"
