MTL - I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals-Chapter 58 Foundation building failed

  Chapter 58 Foundation Establishment Failed

  Lu Changan slowly collected his energy and ended today's routine practice.

   by his legs.

  The young Xuanshui turtle, which is as big as a water ladle, is rubbing its robe affectionately, absorbing the remaining breath of Changqing Gong cultivation.

  In these years, Lu Changan had a surprise discovery:

  Feeding the evergreen mana to the young turtle every day, and when he was practicing, the young turtle would absorb breath by his side, which could actually promote the growth of the Xuanshui turtle's cultivation base.

   According to observation, the growth rate of the eggs of the black water turtle is 30 to 40% faster than the record.

  This result, he can understand.

  Changqinggong is related to longevity and age. And the black water turtle is a long-lived species, which takes a long time to grow.

   "According to this progress, Xuanshuigui can reach the second level in more than a hundred years, and can reach the third level in about three hundred years, which is comparable to the real person of Danjie."

  Lu Changan did not deliberately increase the duration and dosage, otherwise it would be too obvious.

  However, the growth of the Xuanshui Turtle's size is normal, and the acceleration is mainly due to cultivation and blood talent.

  Not a professional beast master monk, it is difficult to find abnormalities.

  Wicked beasts are powerful and have blood, and they are born with some spells and natural abilities.

  Human monks are far inferior in this respect, and they have to practice hard to equip magic weapons to compete with them.

  Xuan Shuigui has just entered the Qi refining stage and has already shown some talent.

  One is tortoise breath, which is good at restraining breath, reducing the sense of existence, and improving one's own survival rate.

   Followed by water spells, water bubbles, water bombs, water ripples...

  The talent in water escape is also beginning to show.

  The last is the turtle shell, even if it is a young terrapin, it is very hard.

  Lu Changan has tested it, and even the low-grade magic weapon can't cut the turtle shell.

  If it grows for a few more decades, the young tortoise only needs to shrink into the shell, and it will be difficult to do anything below the foundation stage.

  …

   Squeak!

  When Lu Changan was interacting with the young turtle, the rock rat brought two letters from the gatehouse in the yard and offered to be courteous.

  In recent years, Lu Changan has shown great care for the young turtles, which made the rock rats feel in danger, and often curry favor with Lu Changan.

   Low-level monsters, although not as intelligent as humans, are also superior to ordinary animals.

  However, the ground rock mouse is only a middle-grade bloodline, which is quite a human middle spirit root. There is no chance, and it is not easy to advance to the second level.

  Lu Changan received two letters.

  A letter from Feiyue Lake.

  A letter from Jinyun Valley.

  A year ago, Lu Changan wrote to Li Erqing and Zhao Siyao at the post station in Huanglong Fairy City.

  However, Huanglong Fairy City is far away.

   It takes at least half a year for a letter to go back and forth, even if it is a pigeon flying letter.

  Lu Changan opened Li Erqing's letter first.

  He was relieved to learn that Li Erqing had successfully stepped into the seventh level of Qi Refining without using the Breaking Order Pill.

   It can be foreseen that Li Erqing's cultivation will return to the right track, and he will be ahead of him again.

   It's not how fast Li Erqing practiced.

  The main exercises of the two of them both use low-grade spiritual roots.

   But Lu Changan was limited by his age, so he couldn't obtain obvious benefits through the pill.

  Li Erqing's "Tuyan Jing" is not outstanding, but as long as he practices steadily, the supply of elixir and spiritual rice is sufficient, and he can move forward steadily and quickly.

   Ignoring the bottleneck situation, its progress has always been slightly ahead of Lu Changan.

   "Zhongpin Linggen, Mu Jiuan?"

  Lu Changan looked strange.

  Li Erqing's nine sons, "Mu Jiu'an", have spiritual roots that are close to the top grade. The family gave Li Erqing generous rewards, such as spiritual stones, magic tools, and late-stage qi refining pills.

  All of this depends on having children.

  In the letter, Li Erqing talked about a lot of things inside the Mu family.

  Including the young lady Mu Xiuyun.

   "A year ago, Mu Xiuyun bought a 'maid protection pill' at a high price, but failed to attack the foundation establishment. She was seriously injured and her vitality was seriously injured."

  A piece of bad news made Lu Changan sigh.

  Failed to attack the foundation building, there is a risk of death.

  Maid-protecting Pill cannot increase the probability of foundation establishment. But it retains the effect of strengthening the dantian and protecting the meridians, and it is not easy to die if the impact fails.

  Mu Xiuyun's qualifications and age are similar to those of Lu Changan, she is forty-seven or eight years old this year.

   Without Foundation Establishment Pill, it is normal to fail in impact.

  If successful, it is good luck.

  Mu Xiuyun failed this time, her vitality was seriously injured, and she might have to recuperate for a few years. The next time you want to make an impact, you must be in your fifties at least.

  The older you are, the lower your potential, and the chances of building a foundation decrease year by year.

  If you want to form a real pill, it is best to build a foundation in your thirties, and you will have greater potential in the future.

  …

  Lu Changan opened Zhao Siyao's letter again.

  Last time when he sent a letter, Lu Changan asked about Zhao Siyao's Zongmen's Jidan and alchemists.

  Zhao Siyao's reply is:

   "The Foundation Establishment Pill exchanged in Zongmen can only be used internally, and resale to outsiders is prohibited."

  After Zhao Siyao established his foundation, he can exchange for the foundation establishment pill through Zongmen contribution. In addition to the higher exchange cost, she can only give the Foundation Establishment Pill to the younger generation or descendants of the family.

  Even the direct descendants of Zhao Siyao, if they have not joined the sect, they cannot be bestowed.

   This cut off Lu Changan's thinking of opportunistically taking advantage of the sect.

  As for the alchemists of the Zongmen, they generally do not help outsiders to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, unless the relationship is particularly good.

   After all, apart from being busy making alchemy, Zongmen alchemist also has to practice himself.

  Zhao Siyao had just joined Foundation Establishment, and he didn't have enough contacts in the middle and upper levels of Jinyun Valley, and he didn't have any familiar second-tier alchemists.

  Even if there is, finding someone to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill still requires gathering materials.

  The end of the letter.

  Zhao Siyao told Lu Changan: Jin Yungu has a residence in Huanglong Fairy City, and if he encounters difficult troubles, reporting her name as a token may help.

  If there is a big crisis, you can send an urgent summons through the Zongmen resident, and Zhao Siyao will come as soon as possible.

   "Know your kindness and repay it, Zhao Daoyou has a noble character."

  Lu Changan couldn't help but praise.

  He now has the backing of the sect and successfully hugged his thigh.

  Less enmity with others, and more good karma, the road of practice will naturally get help in many ways.

  Of course, he only has sufficient lifespan to operate in such a stable manner, one step at a time.

  Ordinary monks, if they don't fight or fight, they are sitting on the ground waiting to die.

  …

  Lu Changan put away the spiritual pet and counted the spoils in the storage bag.

   "The time is almost here."

   Today, Lu Changan is going out to sell stolen goods.

  Two years ago, he arrived near Huanglong Fairy City, killed two of the evil-faced flying eagle's subordinates, and obtained some spoils, including the belongings of the killed family of three.

   Pills and other items do not need to be sold.

  But middle and low-grade magical artifacts have the characteristics of stolen goods, so they are not suitable for blatant selling.

  In the early years, Lu Chang'an killed the two ugly women of the Zheng family to take revenge, and got two or three low-grade magic weapons.

  Nowadays, Lu Changan has more than a dozen useless magic weapons, most of which are below grade.

   If you want to conspire with the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is best for these stolen goods to be cashed out.

  When he first came to Huanglong Immortal City, Lu Changan was not familiar with the environment, so he didn't act rashly.

  In the past two years, he learned that there are places in the city that specialize in collecting second-hand magical artifacts, and the recycling price is a few percent lower, regardless of the source of the magical artifacts.

  Actually, it is a place where stolen goods are sold in disguise.

  Huanglong Fairy City has a large flow of people and mixed fish and dragons, it is inevitable that there will be fights to seize treasures.

  The environment in the outer city is relatively chaotic. Around Huanglong Fairy City and the dangerous Black Mist Mountains, countless monks die every day.

  There are more stolen goods, and demand will naturally arise. Stores with a background will do the business of selling stolen goods.

   "Lu Fushi."

  Lu Changan walked out of Shuiyue Residence, and there were monks passing by in the streets and alleys saying hello.

  In the past two years, Lu Changan has gotten to know all the neighbors, and there are also monks nearby who ask him to buy talismans.

  The talismans sold by Lu Changan are of excellent quality, and the price is slightly lower than that of regular stores.

  …

   Huanglong Fairy City covers a vast area, and flying is not allowed in most areas of the city.

  Lu Changan drove the magic weapon, flew out of Jinxiufang, and came to the business district in the center of the inner city.

  The market with stalls in the inner city, as well as most of the shops, are located in this area.

  Lu Changan didn't go directly to the place where the stolen goods were sold, so he went to the inn to book a room.

  Disguised in the guest room.

   Then, while no one was paying attention, he slipped out of the room and followed the flow of people out of the inn.

   In a quarter of an hour.

   Came to a shop that collects second-hand magical artifacts.

  Here, the focus is mainly on the repair of magical artifacts, and second-hand magical artifacts are also collected, which is actually selling stolen goods.

   "What needs does the guest officer have?"

  The shopkeeper took a look at him, saw Yi Rong, and showed a tacit smile.

   "I have three magical artifacts that I can't use here, will you accept them?"

  Lu Changan, a middle-aged man in disguise, took out the magic weapon from the storage bag.

   "Yes, of course. But after all, it is a second-hand magic weapon, and the price is 30% to 50% lower than the normal magic weapon."

   After verification, the shopkeeper quoted a price for the three magical artifacts.

   "One medium-grade and two low-grade instruments, the quality is not bad, how about one hundred and sixty spirit stones?"

   "It's too low, at least two hundred."

  Lu Changan bargained a bit and settled the deal with one hundred and eighty spirit stones.

   Selling is cheap, but worry-free.

  Lu Changan walked out of the shop swaggeringly, his spiritual sense secretly probing to prevent being targeted.

  The law and order in the inner city is good, but it is not absolutely safe.

  The formation in the city can sense the fluctuation of the fighting method, and the law enforcement monks will come in time.

  But if it is in a remote location, it can easily kill the target in seconds, or succeed in poisoning the attack, and the movement is very small. In theory, it can kill people and seize treasures.

   It's just that the difficulty and risk are much higher than those outside, and few people implement it.

  This is the real world of cultivating immortals, not the main city of the game. There is no absolute safety anywhere in the world of cultivating immortals.

  …

   "No one is following."

  Lu Changan mixed into the crowd, but found nothing unusual.

  Two or three magic weapons are not enough to make people want to kill in the city.

  He returned to the inn.

   Changed another identity and went to another shop that recycles second-hand magical artifacts.

  This time, Lu Changan was bolder.

  Sold four magical artifacts at a time, and sold more than two hundred pieces of spiritual stones.

   "Still not being targeted?"

  Lu Changan mixed into the crowd again, and he was surprised by the smoothness.

   Huanglong Fairy City is indeed a holy place for casual cultivators!

   It is estimated that as long as it is not a treasure with a long history, the risk of selling ordinary magic artifacts is very low.

   From this, it is speculated that there are many unidentified evil cultivators and robbery cultivators harbored in the city.
