I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

strictly speaking.

Foundation-building pills are not necessary for monks to build foundations.

It's just that without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chance of a monk successfully breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage is very small.

Especially for monks with low-grade spiritual roots, if they do not use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through, let alone one out of ten, it may be difficult to even achieve one out of a hundred.

The world of immortality is constantly moving forward.

This era is a good era for low-grade spiritual root monks.

It is precisely because of elixirs such as the Foundation Establishment Pill that the Foundation Establishment Stage is not limited to qualified monks alone...

Therefore, what He Lianxiong said at this moment is "the method of building a foundation without using the foundation building pill". To be precise - there should be another method that can greatly increase the probability of building a foundation for monks who can break through without using a foundation building pill.

After a few breaths, Wei Tu came back to his senses. He looked thoughtful, as if he was hesitating whether to continue asking He Lianxiong for more secrets about this mysterious foundation-building method.

But in fact, although Wei Tu was interested in the foundation-building method mentioned by He Lianxiong, he didn't have much desire in his heart.

After all, he already has a Foundation Establishment Pill in his storage bag, so there is no need to rely on foundation-building methods of unknown origin to advance to the Foundation Establishment realm.

The foundation-building pill is a smooth path to heaven that has been verified by countless predecessors in the world of immortality.

Wei Tu thought to himself that if He Lianxiong had the Foundation Building Pill in hand, he would never think about the so-called ancestral foundation building method. Instead, he would calmly wait for his Qi training to be perfect, then swallow the Foundation Building Pill and choose a place to break through. .

——Alternative foundation building, only monks who have no hope of obtaining the foundation building pill choose this option.

"I don't know what the method for building the foundation of the alien species mentioned by Fellow Daoist Helian is?" Wei Tu followed Helianxiong's wishes and asked proactively.

Seeing the trace of desire in Wei Tu's eyes, He Lianxiong nodded secretly.

Although Wei Tu had stronger financial resources than him, it was very limited. With his strength, according to common sense, it would be difficult to obtain a foundation-building pill in his lifetime.

Generally speaking, there are only two ways to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

One is to hold two foundation-building spiritual objects and exchange them with three sects in exchange for a foundation-building pill.

Second, prepare your own spiritual materials, raise funds with others, and find a second-level alchemist to refine them.

Although the second method is not as harsh as the first, it still requires at least a foundation-building spiritual object and a huge amount of spiritual stones that can invite a second-level alchemist to refine the pill.

Each of the second-level alchemy masters has a higher status than ordinary foundation-building masters.

It is difficult for monks to deal with them during the Qi training period.

As for killing people and seizing treasures, that is not a formal way.

Thinking of this, He Lianxiong showed a smile on his face. He pondered for a few times and said: "This alternative foundation-building method is called the "Monster Foundation-Building Method." It uses the essence of the second-level monster beast. Encourage you and me, Qi-training monks, to reach the foundation-building level."

"Three of my ancestors from the Helian family have reached the foundation-building stage by using this "demon foundation-building method."

He Lianxiong saw a look of disbelief on Wei Tu's face, so he immediately said these words to gain Wei Tu's trust.

"Today, fellow Daoist Helian stopped Mr. Wei... and invited him to be a guest, and told him about the method of building the foundation of the demon. He must have something to ask of Mr. Wei."

Wei Tu put down the tea cup in his hand, the expression on his face calmed down, and he said in a calm tone: "Please also ask fellow Taoist Helian to tell you what you want from Wei, and why you want to find Wei?"

He thought carefully about the uniqueness in him that He Lianxiong was interested in, and he found out that he was the only one who had a good attainment in the Tao of Talisman during his Qi training period.

But he couldn't figure out what the connection was between this "method of building a foundation for monsters" and the Tao of Talisman.

Seeing Wei Tu's calm look, He Lianxiong couldn't help but marvel at Wei Tu's Qi-nurturing skills. After all, this was a foundation-building method.

He Lianxiong began to explain.

He said: "Although this demon foundation-building method does not require the use of Talisman Dao in the process, Fellow Daoist Wei also knows how difficult it would be to obtain the essence of a second-level demon beast with your and my abilities. Already..."

Wei Tu nodded after hearing this.

The second-level monsters are no less than the foundation-building masters. Taking the essence of the second-level monsters and using them to build the foundation is nothing short of a fantasy for the monks in their Qi training period.

"My ancestors once had a good relationship with a second-level talisman master. With his help, he created a first-level top talisman."

"This talisman is called the Demon Refining Talisman."

"Using this talisman, you can briefly regenerate the essence of a first-level monster to a second-level level..."

Having said this, Helianxiong paused, "As for why Fellow Daoist Wei was chosen, the reason is very simple..."

"The first point is Fellow Daoist Wei's attainments in Talismans."

"Fellow Daoist Wei is now a first-level mid-level Talisman Master. It is expected that in a few decades, he will be promoted to a first-level high-level Talisman Master."

"At that time, I will be able to draw the top level demon refining talisman."

"The second point...is related to Fellow Daoist Wei's character and behavior..."

"Fellow Daoist Wei has a withdrawn personality and is a person who can hide things. Even if he doesn't want to help me, he will not tell the matter casually and cause trouble for himself."

He Lianxiong said slowly.

A first-level high-grade Talisman master is easy to find, but it is difficult to find someone who has a history with him and will not easily leak secrets.

This time, he specially invited Ren Yifeng, a master of Jiji who had an old relationship with him, in order to borrow the favor from his father and let him repay the favor.

He was also tempted by Wei Tu.

If Wei Tu had flattered Ren Yifeng during the dinner, then no matter what, he would not have chosen Wei Tu to tell him the "method of building the foundation of the demon soul".

After Wei Tu listened to He Lianxiong's explanation, he was silent for a moment.

Then, based on what He Lianxiong said, he raised two questions.

First, why did He Lianxiong not invite a foundation-building master like Ren Yifeng to directly hunt down the second-level monsters and take their essence to build the foundation.

Second, since the demon refining talisman is so important to the Helian family, why does Helianxiong's family not have a large reserve of this item for emergencies?

"If... Fellow Daoist Helian doesn't make these two points clear, then Wei will not accept this job..."

Wei Tu's tone was slightly cold.

In fact, such rhetoric was just a way for him to gain Helianxiong's trust by making advances before retreating.

After thinking about these two questions for a while, he could find the appropriate reasons.

When he heard about the reliability of the strange foundation-building method, the Demonic Soul Foundation-Building Method, Wei Tu had already decided that he would not miss this "opportunity" easily.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill is only enough for him.

And he also has a pair of children.

We have to plan ahead for this.

When the Wei Yan siblings embarked on their journey to immortality, he had already bluntly stated that he would no longer help them.

Because he was cultivating on his own, he was very tight and had no extra resources.

A gang of two is the only path to immortality.

But - the foundation building method is different.

This is a wealth of knowledge that can be passed down.

…

Yunque Street courtyard.

inside the house.

He Lianxiong gave a wry smile and said: "Fellow Daoist Wei thinks too highly of my relationship with Uncle Ren. My father only once helped him. With this kind of kindness, I can't ask Uncle Ren to help me hunt down the second-level demon." beast."

"Most of the second-order monsters have bloodline magical powers, but they are not as easy to kill as the first-order monsters."

"As for why our Helian family doesn't reserve more demon refining talismans, there is a reason."

"Although the shelf life of the talisman is longer than that of the elixir, it is also limited. As time goes by, its power will gradually weaken."

"If the power of the demon refining talisman is weakened, it will be difficult to regenerate the essence of the first-level demonic beast to the level of the second-level demonic beast."

Both reasons are valid.

Especially the last one.

As a talisman master, Wei Tu certainly knew the fatal weakness of the talisman's weakened power.

The first-order talismans are only divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The demon refining talisman is called the first-order top talisman. In fact, it is the same as the "golden light talisman" that Geng Wen once used.

Only the finest first-level high-quality talismans can reach the edge of the foundation-building stage and regenerate the essence of first-level monsters into second-level monsters.

Such a talisman is difficult to draw, and difficult to preserve for many years without losing its power.

"If Fellow Daoist Wei is willing to agree to study this demon refining talisman, I will also be willing to give the inheritance of the talisman to Fellow Daoist Wei."

At this time, Tong Peipei interrupted.

——Studying the demon refining talisman is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and large profits are not allowed. She is worried that Wei Tu will refuse this matter.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's face immediately showed emotion.

He nodded,

Signaling that he agrees.

A quarter of an hour later.

When Wei Tu left the Yunque Street courtyard, he already had two jade slips in his hand.

Of these two jade slips, one is Tong Peipei's ancestral Talisman inheritance, and the other is the method of making the "Demon Refining Talisman".

As for the method of foundation building for monsters.

He Lianxiong did not give it to Wei Tu, but promised to give it to Wei Tu after Wei Tu mastered the "Demon Refining Talisman".

…

Return to Luoxueyuan.

After Wei Tu took a brief look at the method of making the "Demon Refining Talisman", he put it aside and stopped looking at it.

He understands the priorities of things.

Now, his top priority is to practice until Qi is perfect, and then choose a place to build the foundation.

Rather than improving the attainments of Fu Dao.

Even if he draws the talisman, he will focus on drawing the sect task entrusted by Kou Hongying first.

Not this "demon refining talisman".

Three years later.

In the training room of Luoxueyuan, Wei Tu saw his greatly increased spiritual power and smiled, "Sixty-seven years old, seventh level of Qi training."

Different from Fu Zhizhou, because he successfully converted to Kung Fu and has a strong foundation.

Therefore, the small bottleneck from the middle to the late stage of Qi training did not appear in him.

The difficulty of advancing to the seventh level of Qi training is similar to that of advancing to the sixth level of Qi training from the fifth level of Qi training.

Consolidated spiritual power for several days.

Wei Tu comes out of seclusion.

At this time, the Split Wind Eagle chirped, took an invitation card, and placed it in Wei Tu's palm.

Perhaps because he knew that he was a "prisoner of war", when Split Wind Diao was in Luoxueyuan, he didn't even dare to show off as a high-grade spiritual beast, and often did small things to please Wei Tu.

"Baobao Pavilion auction?"

When Wei Tu saw the content of the invitation, his heart moved, and he secretly thought that he was considered a prominent person in Danqiu Mountain, and he had actually been invited to the Baibao Pavilion's auction held every five years.

Baibao Pavilion is the leading large-scale chamber of commerce in Danqiu Shanfang City.

An auction is held every five years.

Every time there is an auction, Baibao Pavilion will send out invitations to invite prominent people in Danqiu Mountain to attend.

When Wei Tu lived in the small courtyard on Yunque Street, he was never invited by Baibao Pavilion.

"You might as well go and have a look."

Wei Tu opened the invitation and saw that the date of the auction was seven days later, and he was extremely thoughtful.

After getting the collection of the Blood Old Demon.

In the realm of Qi training, there are all kinds of protective equipment, so there is no need to spend money to buy other things to decorate yourself.

As for what he lacks, he only lacks the "Condensing Foundation Pill" and some realm-breaking pills taken by monks in the late stage of Qi training.

"Condensing Foundation Pill, a necessary pill to break through the foundation building stage, can be purchased."

"But with the realm-breaking elixir, that's not necessary."

Wei Tu closed the invitation and thought.

He still has lingering fears about Geng Wen using the elixir to poison Old Demon Xue.

The old blood demon's fighting power is obvious to all and everyone knows it, but he was unable to resist the poison given by Geng Wen, the alchemist, and he died of embarrassment.

A few years ago, if the internal strife between the two had ended with the Blood Old Demon surviving alone, he would never have dared to appear and fight against the Blood Old Demon.

…

Seven days later.

The auction was held as scheduled.

On this day, the closed gates of the caves in various streets in Danqiu Mountain were opened.

Hundreds of monks walked out and gathered into a crowd, flocking to the Baibao Pavilion located on the hillside of Danqiu Mountain.

Wei Tu is also one of them.

The crowd moved, and Wei Tu saw among them the noble master riding a spirit horse and running rampant, and also saw the master Zhu Ji walking in the air.

But more monks are like him, walking on two feet, neither fast nor slow.

Entering the gate of Baibao Pavilion, and then walking through the hall and corridor, Wei Tu saw the location where the auction was held - a three-story jade-colored building.

The door of the small building is open.

Wei Tu followed the maid in.

The three floors of this jade building are connected to each other. The second floor is an open platform with a handful of red sandalwood seats, while the third floor is a small box.

He is a first-level mid-level Talisman Master. Although he was given an invitation by Baibao Pavilion, it was not given a box ticket.

After taking a brief look around, Wei Tu found a remote corner and sat down.

Although this location is remote, you can still see the auction platform on the first floor and the crowds coming and going.

as time flows.

Wei Tu saw many foundation-building masters who were quite famous in Danqiu Mountain.

"Third brother." At this moment, a slightly surprised voice came from Wei Tu's ear.

Wei Tu looked up and saw that it was Fu Zhizhou, so he invited him to sit with him.

"Fourth brother is here at the auction, but do you have anything you want to buy?"

he asked curiously.

The Baibao Pavilion auction generally only invites monks who are above the advanced stage of Qi training to enter.

The rest of the monks have to buy tickets if they want to enter the auction.

Therefore, if there is nothing you want to buy, ordinary low-level monks will not easily go to the auction of Baibao Pavilion and waste their money.

Wei Tu could tell from the aura revealed by Fu Zhizhou that Fu Zhizhou was still wasting his time at the sixth level of Qi training and had not yet broken through.

Of course, compared to his illusory foundation three years ago, Fu Zhizhou's foundation is undoubtedly much more stable now. His aura is restrained and his spiritual pressure is close to the seventh level of Qi training.

"There is a Quqi Pill at the auction. Pharmacist Chen once said that with the help of the Quqi Pill, all impurities in the Blood Food Pill can be removed from my body."

Fu Zhizhou took his seat and replied.

While the two were chatting.

A girl in a white dress, led by a maid, flew through the air and arrived at the private room on the third floor.

Seeing the appearance of the girl in the white dress, Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou were stunned for a while.

"Zhao Qingluo, has she broken through the foundation building stage?"

Fu Zhizhou said with a hint of envy.

Although he had long known that Zhao Qingluo, a genius of the Immortal Clan, would soon break through the foundation building stage, but knowing it was one thing, and seeing it was another.
