Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 77: Main Ingredient Golden Jade Lingzhi, Second Tier Demon Dan

"The main ingredient of the Foundation Building Pill is a 300-year-old Golden Jade Lingzhi. In addition to this, there are many precious auxiliary spiritual medicines. Of course, the auxiliary spiritual medicines are not considered valuable. The most precious one is the Golden Jade Lingzhi."

"Because the environment in which the Golden Jade Lingzhi grows is extremely harsh, it can only grow in special environments."

"The reason why sects like Immortal Mist Sect and Shadow Demon Sect monopolize the Foundation Building Pill and prevent it from flowing out is because they monopolize the flow of Golden Jade Lingzhi."

"As long as the main ingredient, Golden Jade Lingzhi, does not flow out, even a master alchemist would find it difficult to refine the Foundation Building Pill. It's impossible to make something out of nothing."

"Besides sect cultivators, who can successfully cultivate Golden Jade Lingzhi?"

"No wonder there are hardly any independent cultivators who can obtain the Foundation Building Pill. The monopoly is too severe."

Zhou Sui sensed the information transmitted by the Foundation Building Pill and took a deep breath.

He also knew how severe the monopoly in this world was.

Not only knowledge, but also various elixirs and spiritual medicines are completely monopolized by the major powers.

To obtain these things, one must join a sect.

Otherwise, as an independent cultivator, it would be extremely difficult to make any progress. It would be impossible to advance further.

It's simply wishful thinking.

If possible, he also wanted to join a large organization, become a disciple of a sect, and be part of the class monopoly.

The problem is, his aptitude is too poor, and no one would even look at him.

Even if he went with a humble attitude, no one would want him.

This is the cruelty of this world.

Of course, it doesn't mean that without the Foundation Building Pill, one cannot achieve Foundation Building.

If that were the case, there wouldn't be the first Foundation Building cultivator in the world.

In fact, there are still some cultivators in the cultivation world who can achieve Foundation Building without the Foundation Building Pill, such as those with high-grade spiritual roots or even heavenly spiritual roots.

They can independently achieve Foundation Building.

The problem is that except for heavenly spiritual roots, other cultivators with spiritual roots will face a certain degree of danger in Foundation Building.

The success rate may only be seventy percent, fifty percent, or thirty percent.

If it fails, it means death, and there is absolutely no chance of survival.

However, if one really can't find the Foundation Building Pill, then they can only take the risk of Foundation Building.

After countless years, there are still some lucky ones who can achieve Foundation Building without the Foundation Building Pill.

"Although it is possible to achieve Foundation Building without the Foundation Building Pill, the success rate is slightly lower."

"The question is, why take the risk? Even if the success rate is ninety percent, there is still a ten percent chance of failure, right?!"

"If it can be one hundred percent successful, why take the risk?"

"There is only one life, and failure means death."

Zhou Sui is extremely cautious. Although he knows that he may not necessarily need the Foundation Building Pill to achieve Foundation Building, if he has the Foundation Building Pill, even if he fails, his life is not in danger.

The most important thing is that he is not an old cultivator in his sixties or seventies. He is only twenty-one years old.

He still has plenty of time to attempt Foundation Building. There is no need to take risks now.

When it really becomes impossible, he can still try to achieve Foundation Building independently.

"But the Golden Jade Lingzhi can also be replaced. If I can find a second-tier demon dan, I can use it as a substitute for the Golden Jade Lingzhi and refine it into the Foundation Building Pill."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He learned from the information collected by the Yan Mountain Five Tigers that the reason why these five cultivators came to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was to hunt and obtain second-tier demon dans.

What is a second-tier demon dan?

Actually, most second-stage demonic beasts do not have demonic cores. Only some exceptionally talented second-stage demonic beasts have the potential to cultivate a second-stage demonic core.

There was a time when some independent cultivators hunted second-stage demonic beasts and obtained second-stage demonic cores, which they used as a substitute for the main ingredient, the Golden Jade Lingzhi, in successfully refining Foundation Building Pills.

The problem is, achieving this is extremely difficult, almost impossible.

Because the strength of second-stage demonic beasts is comparable to that of Foundation Building cultivators, and some are even stronger than ordinary Foundation Building cultivators.

For Qi Refining stage cultivators to deal with second-stage demonic beasts is simply seeking death.

Unless a Foundation Building cultivator personally takes action, it is slightly easier.

But if an independent cultivator can find a Foundation Building cultivator to help, then obtaining Foundation Building Pills is not so difficult.

Who needs to find demonic cores?

Furthermore, due to the scarcity of demonic cores in second-stage demonic beasts, it is only possible to find a second-stage demonic core by hunting dozens of second-stage demonic beasts.

This means that cultivators need to venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to hunt a large number of second-stage demonic beasts.

However, deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, there are third-stage demonic beasts, which are as powerful as Gold Core cultivators and are terrifyingly strong.

If a third-stage demonic beast is alarmed, it is certain death.

Of course, even so, in order to obtain second-stage demonic cores and Foundation Building Pills, many independent cultivators still gather in groups and venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to hunt second-stage demonic beasts.

Even if there are countless casualties, they still flock to it without hesitation.

After all, once they set foot on the path to immortality, there are not many people willing to retreat.

"A second-stage demonic core? It seems that it is not impossible to obtain." Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

For ordinary independent cultivators, obtaining a second-stage demonic core would definitely be a life-or-death situation.

But he was different, as he could control various gu worms.

Especially since he successfully refined the Gold Devouring Worm, if he could cultivate a large number of them and form a massive swarm, then killing second-stage demonic beasts would not be impossible.

The most important thing was that he didn't need to take action personally, as long as he controlled them remotely.

Even if he really failed, his true body would not be harmed.

He was different from those independent cultivators.

Those independent cultivators would die after one failure, but he could fail countless times.

"Wait, not only can I hunt second-stage demonic beasts, but perhaps I can also cultivate them." Zhou Sui's mind stirred.

He had the Wine Gu, which could produce a large number of first-stage spirit wines.

Feeding them with a large quantity of spirit wine had the chance to promote first-stage demonic beasts to the second stage.

If the cultivation of the Wine Gu further advanced and became a second-stage Wine Gu, then second-stage spirit wine could be produced.

By then, cultivating second-stage demonic beasts would be even easier.

"This method is not bad."

"Catch a large number of first-stage demonic beasts and raise them, then use spirit wine to cultivate them."

"As long as the quantity is sufficient, I don't believe that I can't produce a second-stage demonic beast."

"Once they break through to become second-stage demonic beasts, I will set up traps and kill them at the moment of their breakthrough, obtaining the demonic cores from their bodies."

"This way, I can continuously obtain second-stage demonic cores and refine Foundation Building Pills."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of excitement.

He seemed to have seen a method that didn't require the assistance of a sect, but could still obtain Foundation Building Pills on his own.

Heh, why bother going to an auction when he could refine Foundation Building Pills himself.
