Chapter 2: Encounter with Han Lao Mo
In the country of Yue, it is basically impossible to build a foundation as a casual cultivator.
The main ingredients needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are all monopolized by the seven major sects.
They harvest it every few years and then refine thousands of foundation-building pills.
Except for the Yanyue Sect which received more than 200 medals, the other six major sects each received more than 100 medals.
These more than one hundred foundation-building pills are not enough for our own disciples, so how could they be spread outside?
Therefore, if you want to build a foundation, you must join the seven major sects.
The disciples Huangfeng Valley recruited this time were much more outstanding than in the past.
Those with special physiques and unusual spiritual roots will grow into the backbone of Huangfeng Valley in the future.
As the owner of dual spiritual roots, Ye Changsheng is quite conspicuous among this group of people.
Like him, there are less than a hundred new disciples who have dual spiritual roots, and the remaining nearly nine hundred people basically have three spiritual roots.
There are very few pseudo-spiritual root disciples with four spiritual roots. Most of them are like Han Lao Mo, who entered the sect through special methods.
Not to mention the five spiritual roots. I have never heard of any cultivator with five spiritual roots being able to enter.
It can be said that the disciples of Huangfeng Valley who will be able to build a foundation in the future are basically among this group of dual spiritual roots.
"With my aptitude, it won't be difficult to cultivate to the peak of Qi Refining within a few years!"
"But this batch of foundation-building pills has already been distributed. Do we have to wait ten years until the next batch of foundation-building pills comes out before we can fight for it?"
Ye Changsheng frowned.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill from Huangfeng Valley. One is the normal distribution.
It is issued uniformly every ten years.
The distribution time is just before Ye Changsheng enters the sect.
Han Lao Mo entered the sect with the Ascension Order, earlier than Ye Changsheng. Because of the Ascension Order, he and the winners of the Ascension Conference received a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Those are the last few foundation-building pills!
Therefore, if Ye Changsheng wants to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill through this method, he can only wait another ten years.
"Ten years... Han Li joined the Yellow Maple Valley at the age of eighteen, and the Demonic Path invaded at the age of twenty-nine. This means that after ten years, the opportunity will be gone!"
Sitting in the stone house, Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered as he thought about future plans.
He couldn't wait ten years, so he had to find another way to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"It seems that I have to visit the Bloody Forbidden Land!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
The Blood Forbidden Land is the second way to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Huangfeng Valley usually keeps some foundation-building pills to distribute to disciples who perform outstandingly in the Blood Forbidden Land.
The next time the Bloody Forbidden Land opens will be about three years later!
Opening the storage bag, Ye Changsheng took inventory of what he currently owned.
More than a dozen bottles of Qi-nourishing Pills are worth more than a hundred spirit stones. They are pills that are beneficial to the cultivation of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
Ye Changsheng has been taking this kind of medicine for more than two years, and now he is almost developing drug resistance.
"This Qi-nourishing Pill will only allow me to cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and then it will be basically useless. I must look for other pills."
Two top-grade magic weapons are sufficient for him at his current stage of cultivation.
In fact, in the past two years, Ye Changsheng has always wanted to find a top-grade magical weapon.
However, it is extremely difficult to find top-grade magical weapons among casual cultivators.
And the risks are high.
This was also one of the reasons why he chose to join a sect of immortal cultivation. Only in a large sect could one purchase good, top-grade magical instruments.
Hundreds of low-level spirit stones; this was all the cash flow he had.
There are also some sundries, such as a five-element spell book, blank talisman paper, talisman pens, cinnabar, etc.
In addition to that, there are several hundred talismans that occupy the largest space in his storage bag.
This is the thing that Ye Changsheng has accumulated the most.
Hundreds of basic, low-level and mid-level talismans, including attack, defense, auxiliary and other functions.
For someone of his level of cultivation, the most useful thing in battle is talismans.
So he made a bunch of copies.
Ye Changsheng believed that even a disciple at the peak of Qi Refining would be blasted into pieces if he encountered this pile of talismans of his.
…
"Brother Wu, I always have trouble closing the shield when I perform this Vajra Technique. Can you help me figure out what's going on?"
"Junior Brother Ye, show me your Vajra Technique first!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng immediately stood in the open space and performed some elementary and intermediate level Vajra techniques.
I saw a layer of golden light appearing from the surface of his body, quickly condensing to form a protective shield.
However, this shield has an obvious loophole, with a large gap on top that cannot be closed.
The Huangfeng Valley disciple who was called Senior Brother Wu looked at him carefully for a while and said:
"Junior Brother Ye, your situation is probably because your spiritual energy is not released evenly, resulting in it being thick in some places and thin in others."
"Adjust it and try again!"
"Is that so? Thank you, Senior Brother Wu, for your guidance!"
Ye Changsheng bowed to Senior Brother Wu to express his gratitude.
At this time, it had been three months since he entered the Yellow Maple Valley.
During this period of time, in addition to getting familiar with important places such as the market town and Baiji Hall in Huangfeng Valley, he spent the rest of his time practicing hard.
With the help of a large number of elixirs, he achieved the sixth level of Qi Refining a few days ago.
Then, Ye Changsheng began to study intermediate-level spells.
This can be considered a little relief in the boring life of cultivation.
This Senior Brother Wu is a disciple of the Transmission Pavilion. He is proficient in the Five Elements magic and can explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way. He is deeply respected by the lower-level disciples.
This person has a very kind personality. He treats everyone equally and imparts his experience without reservation, without keeping anything to himself.
This is considered an anomaly in the world of cultivating immortals.
Ye Changsheng, who was familiar with the original novel, was relatively confident in the character of this senior brother.
Therefore, he has recently come to Senior Brother Wu frequently to ask him for advice on the tricks of practicing intermediate-level spells.
However, asking for advice on magic was just a side issue; Ye Changsheng's main purpose of coming here was to contact someone.
A dark-skinned, plain-looking disciple from the Huangfeng Valley was sitting not far from him, also listening attentively to Brother Wu's lecture .
This person looks dull and sluggish on the outside, and at first glance he is an honest child who is not very smart.
But if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are very bright and lively, which reveals his extraordinary mind.
This Senior Brother Han, a disciple of Huangfeng Valley whose real name is Han Li, is, if nothing unexpected happens, the person Ye Changsheng is looking for.
Han Tianzun, who will save people from suffering in the future, still looks very young now.
Ye Changsheng was looking for Han Li not to steal his little green bottle.
It's not that they deliberately want to make friends with each other.
Instead, he wanted to establish a long-term, stable trading relationship with Han Li.
Because Han Li's plug-in was of great help to him.
For example, if he could exchange a thousand-year-old elixir from Han Li, then he could mass-produce the thousand-year-old elixir.
No matter what kind of plant it is, as long as he can get one from Han Lao Mo, he can mass-produce countless plants.
This is Han Lao Mo’s greatest value to him.
"However, there is no need to make it so big at the beginning. Let's do some small business with him first to build mutual trust!"
Ye Changsheng thought this in his heart and slowly moved towards Han Li.
Han Li was still very alert. When he found someone approaching, he immediately put his hands on the storage bag.
"Are you Senior Brother Han Li?" Ye Changsheng asked with a smile.
"I am Han Li. Which senior brother are you?" Han Li asked calmly.
"My name is Ye Changsheng. I joined the sect a little later than Senior Brother Han, so I am not worthy of the title of Senior Brother!"
"Brother Ye, do you have anything to do with Han?"
"I heard from Senior Brother Wu that Senior Brother Han has some elixirs that can be used by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage to strengthen their foundation and nourish their essence. I'm in urgent need of these elixirs, so I want to buy some from Senior Brother Han!"
When he heard that he was here to buy medicinal pills, Han Li's vigilance dropped a little.
Indeed, he had sold several bottles of elixirs in exchange for cultivation resources, and it happened that Senior Brother Wu also knew about this.
Therefore, he was not too surprised that Ye Changsheng came to him.
"I do have this type of elixir, but there aren't many left. How many do you want, Brother Ye?"
“One bottle will do!”
Hearing this, Han Li nodded. One bottle was not a lot.
Although he still had a lot of pills in his hands, Han Li knew very well that one should not show off his wealth, so he would definitely not sell too many at one time.
"This is a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills. It contains ten pills. Ten spirit stones are enough!" Han Li said as he took out a bottle of pills.
“Very fair price!”
Ye Changsheng nodded, took the bottle of medicine, smelled it carefully, and after confirming that it was a medicine for strengthening the body, he took out ten spirit stones and handed them to Han Li.
"Senior Brother Han, if you still have pills you want to sell in the future, please give priority to me, your junior brother!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
Han Li frowned slightly and said, "I don't have many pills left. Where can I sell them in the future?"
"Haha, that's all I said, don't mind it, Senior Brother Han!"
"Goodbye!"
Ye Changsheng bowed and did not have much conversation with Han Li.
The old demon has always been cautious. If you are too enthusiastic when meeting him for the first time, it might make him alert.
Once you become wary, it will be difficult to make deals with the devil in the future!
