The Path to Immortality

Compared to the medium and small sects and cultivator families in Liang State, the disciples of Luoyang Sect have a lot of convenience in building the foundation.

Take the most important foundation-building pill as an example. As long as the conditions are met, you can apply to the sect.

Specifically, you must be under 60 years old, have a solid foundation, have reached the tenth level of Qi training, and have no bad records in the sect before you can apply.

The first two conditions are incidental. After all, if you can't even meet these two basic conditions, it is impossible to successfully build the foundation.

As for having no bad behavior in the sect, it is not a problem for most disciples.

However, the application standard seems not harsh, but there is an invisible condition to exchange for the foundation-building pill.

That is, 8,000 sect contributions are required!

This price directly blocked most inner disciples.

You know, ordinary inner disciples usually get 40 to 50 sect contributions for doing a menial task.

If we take fifty times of menial work and two times of work a year, we need to do menial work for eighty years to make up eight thousand sect contributions, and we must also ensure that all the accumulated sect contributions are saved without using a penny!

How is this possible?

Even if we calculate it based on four times of menial work a year, it will take a full forty years.

Unless someone can enter the inner sect at the age of twenty and save until the age of sixty, it will be enough.

But it is also very difficult to achieve this.

It can be said that ordinary disciples must do menial work at least five or six times a year to have a normal exchange for foundation-building pills.

But if you run around like this, how much time can you have for cultivation?

Perhaps only those disciples with a certain background and connections, who are not short of basic cultivation resources such as spirit stones, and who can use all their spare time to accumulate enough sect contributions in addition to cultivation, can be sure to exchange for foundation-building pills from the sect.

In addition, there is another restriction on applying for foundation-building pills: in principle, each disciple can only exchange for one foundation-building pill at most.

Once the first foundation building fails, unless the spiritual root aptitude is extraordinary, or the situation is special - for example, becoming a first-level alchemist as a Qi training cultivator, the sect will not give a second chance to apply, even if you can still provide 8,000 sect contributions.

However, even if the conditions are so harsh, this rule still attracts countless cultivators in Liang.

The reason is very simple. After all, it has a hard standard that can be seen and touched.

And as long as the conditions are met, you can definitely apply for it.

Not to mention, in addition to the foundation building pill, Luoyang Sect also provides a variety of foundation building spiritual objects, as well as spiritual pills including [Purple Yang Pill], for disciples who cannot provide 8,000 sect contributions to exchange.

After all, if you can gather three foundation building spiritual objects with different effects, except that they cannot provide protection after the foundation building fails, in terms of improving the success rate of foundation building, it can barely be comparable to half a foundation building pill.

Most of the disciples in the sect actually take this second-best way.

Liu Wuchen is no exception.

As early as several years ago, when Fang Ping was still the manager of Luoyuefang, this Senior Brother Liu had returned from three years of training and was preparing for foundation building.

Now, Liu Wuchen, who is about to turn sixty, can't wait any longer even if he hasn't made the ultimate preparations yet. He is preparing to retreat and impact foundation building in the near future.

Jiang Yucheng's situation is different.

The other party did not say it clearly in the communication talisman, but from the meaning between the lines, it seems that he has received help from his master and has a good grasp of foundation building.

I think he should have a foundation building pill in his hand.

In addition, the other party also obtained the permission of the master to borrow the cave of the foundation building cultivator on the hillside of Luoyun Peak.

The concentration of spiritual energy there is much higher than that of the cave of the Qi training disciples, which can provide some help when retreating to impact the foundation.

Of course, in addition to borrowing the cave of the foundation-building cultivator, the sect also prepared a special stone chamber for disciples who were striving to build their foundation. The concentration of spiritual energy in it was no worse than that of the cave of ordinary foundation-building cultivators, but it required a certain amount of sect contribution to exchange.

But in addition to the concentration of spiritual energy, borrowing the master's cave undoubtedly had other benefits.

For example, you can get some personal experience and experience taught by the master, as well as some small tricks that can slightly increase the success rate of foundation building.

These personal experiences and tricks may not be fully included even in the foundation-building experience collected by the sect.

For those disciples who do not have the protection of the foundation-building pill, if the foundation fails, they can get the master's first-hand treatment, and maybe they can save their lives.

Because the time to borrow is limited, when the communication talisman was sent, Jiang Yucheng had already set off to the master's cave.

Whether it succeeds or not will be known before the end of the month at the latest.

In this case, Fang Ping obviously cannot disturb the other party.

He only sent back a communication talisman, wishing the other party success in building the foundation.

As for Liu Wuchen, there was still some time before the tentative retreat time, so Fang Ping planned to visit him.

After all, Liu Wuchen did not have the foundation-building pill. If the foundation-building failed, there was a high possibility that he would die on the spot.

This visit might be a farewell, the last time.

………

Walked out of the cave.

Fang Ping saw Dahei in the small lake outside the cave.

Judging from its age, this black-scaled dragon is still in the growth stage.

But thanks to the large amount of pills Fang Ping fed it, as well as various spiritual medicines and fruits that are very beneficial to the growth of dragon-like monsters, Dahei's strength improved rapidly. Half a year after returning from Luoyuefang, he successfully advanced to the late stage of Qi training.

Now, it has some of the power of the two adult black-scaled dragons in the Canglan River Water Palace, and can fly in the air with its own water magic.

Whether it is guarding the house or using it as a mount, it can at least be of some help.

Seeing its master appear, this somewhat bored spirit beast suddenly became excited, slapped its tail, and flew up from the lake, rushing towards Fang Ping.

Seeing the huge body falling like a mountain, Fang Ping's face darkened, and he quickly used his magic power to block it.

After playing with it for a while, Fang Ping opened the formation restriction outside the cave and strode out.

"Hello, Brother Fang!"

Cheng Guan, who was taking care of the spiritual field, was slightly stunned when he saw Fang Ping's long-lost appearance, and then hurriedly saluted.

Fang Ping nodded and looked at the two spiritual fields not far away.

The spiritual field planted with century-old spiritual medicine is still in a long growth period.

In order to prevent them from being disturbed by the auspicious beasts in the sect, Fang Ping had specially upgraded the formation to ensure that ordinary Qi training period monsters would never stray into it.

In another spiritual field, the first batch of twenty-year-old spiritual medicines planted had already ushered in a harvest.

It helped Fang Ping earn a lot of spiritual stones, which was considered a lot for ordinary late Qi training cultivators.

In this regard, Fang Ping did not hesitate to pay Cheng Guan half of the profit as promised, which surprised the spiritual plant husband.

As for the second batch of twenty-year-old spiritual medicines and the new batch of five-year-old spiritual medicines planted not long ago, they are still growing now.

Thanks to the rich spiritual energy of Yunyang Peak and Cheng Guan's careful care, these spiritual medicines are also growing well.
