The Path to Immortality

In the cave.

"Deacon Fang, are you really willing to pay the same amount of spiritual stones if the success rate of refining Shengyuan Pill is less than 20%?"

In the cave, the foundation-building cultivator surnamed Li from the other courtyard who came to ask for the pill, although he had heard the news in advance, still couldn't help but confirm it again.

This was the third question Fang Ping had heard today, and a half-true and half-false helpless look appeared on his face.

"After all, Fang has only mastered the method of refining this kind of pill not long ago, and the hundred-year-old spiritual medicine that can be used to refine Shengyuan Pill is very valuable. If it weren't for this promise, there would probably not be many Taoist friends who dare to ask Fang to refine Shengyuan Pill. In order to improve the skills of refining this pill as soon as possible, I have to resort to this bad plan. I would rather pay some spiritual stones than let the Taoist friends who trust Fang suffer losses."

Seeing Fang Ping's personal confirmation, the foundation-building cultivator surnamed Li no longer had any doubts in his heart.

He immediately praised: "Deacon Fang is righteous!"

After that, he took out a full ten batches of materials for Shengyuan Pill and a sum of money for commissioning the pill from the storage bag.

These were made by him and another foundation-building cultivator, and they were divided equally into pills.

Fang Ping scanned the materials with his spiritual sense and confirmed that there was no problem with the materials. He put on a serious look and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Li, I will do my best to refine it for you. If nothing unexpected happens, you can come to get the pill in a month!"

After getting the promise, the foundation-building cultivator surnamed Li boasted about Fang Ping's alchemy skills for a few words and left in a good mood.

Send this person away.

Lingbao Peak was briefly quiet.

After all, there are more than one alchemist in the sect who can refine Shengyuan Pills, and some foundation-building cultivators may not have no connections outside the sect.

For this reason, after Fang Ping released the news that he would take over the refining of Shengyuan Pills, although many people were tempted and a group of cultivators came to him one after another, in general, the number was not as many as in the past when refining Yiqi Pills.

The foundation-building cultivator surnamed Li was the last one in recent days.

However, the so-called number is also relative.

Since the Shengyuan Pill is very difficult to refine, considering the success rate, the cultivators who come to seek alchemy often start with five furnaces, and there are also ten furnaces.

Even if only seven or eight cultivators finally negotiated the commission, Fang Ping still had fifty more materials for refining Shengyuan Pills!

If we don’t consider the Yuan Ding, with a 20% success rate, and deducting the time and labor costs, the profit of this business is actually limited.

However, Fang Ping can make sure that every furnace of materials will be successful!

Fifty furnaces of Shengyuan Pills only need to be refined in ten furnaces, and the cultivators who come to ask for pills can be given a satisfactory explanation.

The remaining forty portions are net profit!

Not to mention how many tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones are worth for forty furnaces of Shengyuan Pills, the forty hundred-year-old spiritual herbs that serve as the main materials are a fortune that is enough to drive any foundation-building cultivator crazy.

Not to mention, collecting so many hundred-year-old spiritual herbs is a time-consuming and labor-intensive problem in itself!

From today on, Fang Ping no longer has to collect hundred-year-old spiritual herbs by himself.

With the Shengyuan Pill as a signboard, he can openly wait for other cultivators to deliver it to him.

It was from this moment that he could finally say that the so-called spirit stones were just a number.

As many as he wanted, as many as he wanted!

How to better transform the spirit stones into cultivation and combat power to assist him in breaking through the pill formation, while not showing off too much wealth and attracting the covetousness of higher-level cultivators, is what Fang Ping needs to consider most in the future.

This is just the Shengyuan Pill used by foundation-building cultivators, and the ability to earn spirit stones is already so terrifying.

If it is replaced with a higher-level and rarer spirit pill, then, it will be the time when "every furnace material must be successful" will really show its effect!

………

In a flash, more than a month has passed.

One after another, cultivators received the refined Shengyuan Pills or the spirit stones paid by Fang Ping.

Seeing that Fang Ping really kept his promise, and the quality of the different batches of Shengyuan Pills he refined was still visibly improving slowly, the number of cultivators willing to trust Fang Ping in the sect began to gradually increase.

At the same time, many people were speculating how many spiritual stones Fang Ping had lost in order to improve the level of refining Shengyuan Pills.

Presumably, he must have lost all the spiritual stones he had earned during the years of foundation building.

Especially after a cultivator asked him in person, it is said that Fang Ping remained silent for ten breaths without saying a word, with a very complicated expression.

When the news spread, everyone no longer had any doubts.

When they thought of this, the cultivators who were originally envious and jealous of this alchemist Fang suddenly felt much better.

There were even a few cultivators who disliked Fang Ping. After learning about this, they came to him specifically to entrust him with alchemy, clearly wanting him to lose more.

Zhou Lingyu, Yang Feng, Shen Huaigan and other cultivators who were on good terms with Fang Ping sent messages one after another as if they had made an appointment, asking Fang Ping if he had encountered any difficulties, and hinting that they were willing to lend him some spiritual stones.

For ordinary cultivators, talking about spiritual stones hurts friendship.

But when facing a cultivator who can refine Shengyuan Pills, the situation is different. No one will doubt the ability of such an alchemist to make money.

There are naturally many cultivators who are willing to be good people and make good connections.

Being asked by so many people, Fang Ping really began to consider whether he should pretend to lend some spirit stones as a token of his appreciation.

………

Just when Fang Ping's alchemy business was booming.

The defense line of Bingpo Mountain in Yue Kingdom.

After ten years of fierce fighting, both the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Immortal Alliance suffered heavy losses and were somewhat exhausted.

The formation of the Bingpo Mountain camp was almost broken through several times and is still being repaired.

Perhaps they felt that the consumption of the Immortal Alliance had taken effect, or there were some signs that the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance could not support itself. Under the personal order of the Demon Lord, the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance began to mobilize their troops and prepare for an unprecedented attack.

This time, not only the other sects of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, but also the monks of the Phantom Demon Sect will use their best talents without reservation.

Such a huge movement, as if a decisive battle was about to take place, could not be concealed from the Immortal Alliance's reconnaissance.

With the help of various intelligences from the dark rooms deployed, and after confirming each other, the Immortal Alliance also mobilized its troops to prepare for this war of unprecedented scale.

A chilling atmosphere swept across the front lines of the Yue Kingdom and the immortal cultivation world of the six Immortal Alliance countries.

But what no one expected was that at this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!

One day later.

In the Luoyang Sect’s Patriarch’s Hall.

The disciple who was responsible for guarding the soul lamps of many foundation-building monks suddenly discovered that the soul lamp of a foundation-building monk swayed a few times and suddenly went out.

"Another uncle was unfortunately killed?"

The disciple was shocked, but he didn't pay much attention.

After all, after all these years of fighting between good and evil, it is no longer news that a foundation-building monk died in battle, so he was immediately prepared to report it according to the rules.

But just a few breaths later, the soul lamp of another foundation-building monk went out.

The death of these two foundation-building monks does not mean the end. In just a quarter of an hour, three more foundation-building monks died!

Among them is even a mid-stage foundation-building monk!

The news was reported layer by layer, immediately alarming the sect's senior officials.

The death of a foundation-building monk can be said to be an accident. Five foundation-building monks died one after another. The soul lamps of three other foundation-building monks became dim. They were suspected of being seriously injured or dying. This could not be the case. Unexpected.

Everyone knew that something big must have happened!
