The Path to Immortality

Two thick soil mushrooms, fourteen strains of various hundred-year-old elixirs, two two-hundred-year-old elixirs, and a five-qi purple fruit.

This is all the income Fang Ping received from this investment.

It seems very tempting, but in fact it has a lot to do with Fang Ping's identity as a first-level alchemist and formation master. Of course, there is also a certain amount of luck involved.

Among the support he provided, whether it was various elixirs or formations, they were all made by himself and used before. Now when he gives them away to others, they are not even counted at the cost price.

The elixirs harvested can be made into elixirs through the alchemy method, and can be sold at several times the price.

One decrease and one increase make it appear that his rate of return from supporting his Qi training disciples is particularly astonishing.

Without this advantage, all the support given would be bought with spiritual stones, and the elixirs harvested would not be used by oneself, so they could only be sold at market prices. Then, the income earned would be greatly reduced with each entry and exit.

If you are unlucky, a few more disciples you support may die, or you may suffer a small loss!

This is also the main reason why other foundation-building monks do not support Qi training disciples as generously as Fang Ping.

"It's a pity that neither Wu Quan, Shen Yao, nor Liu Tianhu could obtain the [Geng Jin Treasure Body] technique from the disciples of the Hidden Sword Tower."

This made Fang Ping a little regretful and helpless.

After all, he is not the legendary son of heaven who is blessed with great fortune. It is impossible for everything to go as planned. He can only wait and figure out a solution later.

"By the way, the disciples who entered the forbidden area of ​​Liyuan Palace have been back for several days. There should also be results in the Jiang family's Danding Pavilion."

Although he already had two plants of C. truncatula on hand, after all, he had reached an agreement before, so Fang Ping definitely wanted to go there.

Regardless of whether the elder of the Jiang family succeeds or not, the matter must be settled.

Surrounded by the powerful gale wind, Fang Ping arrived at Dandingfang.

Seeing Fang Ping come to the door, the face of the shopkeeper of Dandingfang, which was already a little sad, became even harder to look at.

Just by looking at the other party's expression, Fang Ping roughly guessed the result.

He sighed and asked: "How is it? Have you got the thick soil mushroom I entrusted to you in Dandingfang?"

The shopkeeper opened his mouth, and after a while he said in frustration: "I'm sorry to disappoint our distinguished guest... The elder of our Jiang family did not return safely. I received news a few days ago that he seemed to be with an Acacia The female cultivator was involved in a conflict and died while escaping after being seriously injured."

It's hard to say whether he died at the mouth of a monster or unfortunately at the hands of other monks.

After all, there were six hundred monks who entered the forbidden area of ​​Liyuan Palace to explore, and no one knew who did it.

"This is really a pity..."

Fang Ping pretended to be sad for a moment, and then his face turned serious: "This thick soil mushroom is of great importance. It is a magical elixir that one of our elders must use. Now that your Jiang family has collected the spirit stones, you have not been able to get the thick soil mushroom." , but it’s a big mistake!”

He shook his head repeatedly, looking like he was beating his chest and feeling annoyed.

It's not that his acting is artificial, but it's really a bit dangerous this time.

If Fang Ping hadn't been cautious by nature and made extra preparations, and found five extra people to help, otherwise he would have missed out on Houtu Zhi and the longevity elixir [Huanzhen Dan] this time.

Anyone would be a little dissatisfied if he almost missed an important event for him.

The shopkeeper of Dandingfang knew that he was in the wrong and could only sigh: "There is no way, our Jiang family doesn't want to do it. You just lost a piece of elixir, but our Jiang family lost a clan elder who is at the ninth level of Qi training. ...Forget it, we will refund your spirit stones in full as agreed!”

Seeing that Fang Ping seemed to want to complain a few more times, the shopkeeper took the initiative and said, "Let's do this. If our Dandingfang receives a hundred-year-old elixir next time, we will keep it for one year exclusively for our distinguished guests. How about that?"

This "compensation" is convenient and free, and it can also attract this distinguished guest to come more often. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

After seeing the other party talking about this, Fang Ping couldn't keep pestering him anymore.

After getting the returned spirit stones and purchasing a few more elixirs, I left Dandingfang.

………

The aftermath of the forbidden area of ​​Liyuan Palace began to gradually appear more than a month after the participating disciples returned.

One after another, disciples have been promoted to foundation building with the help of opportunities and elixirs obtained in the forbidden area.

In addition to celebrating, they also began to seize the time to stabilize their realm and prepare for various matters after the foundation was established.

The world of Immortal Cultivation in Liang Kingdom fell into a brief period of calm after experiencing major events such as the Nine Sects Alliance and the early opening of the Liyuan Palace forbidden area.

The monks of the five golden elixir sects are all seizing the opportunity to improve themselves and their sect's overall strength, preparing for the storm that may come at any time.

This day.

In the cave, Fang Ping looked attentive and kept adjusting the temperature inside the Yuan Cauldron.

Under his control, the refining of the first-level mid-grade spiritual elixir [Huanzhen Dan] was gradually coming to an end.

More than ten years ago, since he obtained the elixir recipes of the longevity fruit and the rejuvenation elixir from Uncle Xu's storage bag in the Demonic Domain of Qingyuan City, he has been unable to do so due to the lack of alchemy attainments and important auxiliary materials. Refining this elixir.

It wasn't until a month ago that he obtained Houtu Zhi from the forbidden area of ​​Liyuan Palace that he finally got the opportunity to refine this elixir.

As the rarest life-extending elixir, the difficulty of refining the Huanzhen Pill is extraordinary, only slightly lower than that of the Foundation Establishment Pill. How to extract the medicinal power of cypress and longevity fruit without any loss is the number one difficulty in refining.

Even though Fang Ping was quite accomplished in alchemy, it was still a bit difficult to refine the true elixir.

Before this, he had tried at least sixty or seventy furnaces, but all ended in failure.

Starting from the 70th furnace, there were cases of successful refining.

But the quality of the refined Huanzhen Pill was far from satisfying him.

So Fang Ping went back again and prepared to refine a fine Huanzhen Pill like refining the foundation pill to maximize his lifespan!

After refining hundreds of furnaces repeatedly, as he accumulated more and more experience, he gradually became familiar with the refining process of Huanzhen Pill.

At this moment, under his exquisite control, the liquid medicine in the Yuan Ding gradually completed the final stage and could condense into pills at any time.

As the true fire extinguished, the invisible restrictions in the Ding dissipated, and Fang Ping quickly took action and began to divide the pills.

In an instant, Fang Ping first separated a round and full Huanzhen Pill from the Ding.

But he did not take this Huanzhen Pill out, but after separating the first Huanzhen Pill, he put it back in the center of the remaining liquid medicine.

Then, the refining process restarted!

The scorching sun true fire ignited again.

Only this time, he deliberately lowered the temperature of the spiritual fire and took the initiative to use his magic power to pull, so that the remaining liquid medicine in the Yuan Ding could continue to "nourish" the only Huanzhen Pill.

Under Fang Ping's meticulous control, the Huanzhen Pill, which had already been finalized, began to undergo subtle changes.

Not only was it more round and flawless, but mysterious patterns gradually condensed on the surface.

It was the rare technique that Fang Ping had used when refining the foundation-building pill: the pill-nurturing method!
