Chapter 108 Strengthening Foundation Building Pill

“Poria cocos flower.”

"A tree without roots."

"No berries."

"Jingtan water."

"Bitter cream."

……

"Weigh ten kilograms for each of the ten years!"

At Baoyaozhai, Lin Shan started making large purchases.

The main ingredients in the foundation-building pill recipe are required to be five hundred years old.

However, it takes 500 years to cultivate. Except for ancient sects or some secret realms in heaven and earth, few forces have such long time to cultivate.

However, there are still many forces that can be cultivated in a short period of time. After all, these medicinal materials are not only used for foundation-building pills.

According to different pharmacology and species, the same medicinal material can also be used to make different pills. Maybe you are the main ingredient in that pill recipe, but in my pill recipe, it becomes the auxiliary ingredient. This situation is not uncommon.

Lin Shan's plan was very clear. He would first buy some low-level medicinal materials, find a way to refine a "low-end" foundation-building pill by himself, and then strengthen the panel for himself to check and identify it, and then strengthen it directly.

However, Lin Shan was careful when purchasing and deliberately mixed in some unnecessary medicinal materials to confuse people.

But he didn't expect that the clerk in Baoyaozhai's pharmacy was so shrewd. While he was preparing the medicine for him, he suddenly found that there seemed to be the formula of the famous Foundation Establishment Pill in it?
But why do they only need ten years' worth of medicinal materials? And why do they mix in a bunch of irrelevant things?

Could it be that a certain cultivation family, for the sake of long-term considerations, was planning to try grafting and cultivation? Or perhaps a master wanted to upgrade the foundation-building pill and had an ingenious way to improve the pill formula, so he took some inferior products in advance to practice?

The pharmacy clerk gave Lin Shan a 10% discount while thinking about something else.

It's not for any other reason, because the shipment volume this time is pretty good. According to Baoyaozhai's rules, any one-time transaction of more than one thousand spirit stones will be given a 10% discount.

This time, Lin Shan spent thousands of spirit stones and bought thirty sets of materials.

Next, he went to the weapon refining workshop and bought a low-level alchemy furnace for fifty spirit stones.

I went to the Treasure Pavilion again and bought a book for beginners in alchemy for thirty spirit stones. I didn't expect it to be very profound, but it would be enough to get started and refine ordinary pills.

……

After returning to his residence, Lin Shan began to study alchemy in the alchemy room in his cave.

After a full month of reading and understanding the book day and night, Lin Shan felt that with his Qi training level reaching the Great Perfection, it should not be a big problem for him to refine a low-level elixir similar to that of the Innate Realm.

So he ambitiously set out the alchemy furnace and threw in ten years' worth of medicinal materials for a foundation-building pill.

According to the instructions on the jade slip for the alchemy furnace, he input his own spiritual power into the furnace. The alchemy furnace automatically converted his spiritual power and operated, absorbing the fire from the earth veins below the alchemy room in the cave. A muddy yellow flame rose in the furnace.

Lin Shan watched this scene excitedly, with great ambitions. He wondered if he could specialize in alchemy in the future. Wouldn't it be possible for him to eat high-level pills like candy beans?

However, reality immediately gave him a slap in the face.

"Oh!"

Half a day later, a muffled sound was heard from the cave.

"Ding! Gurgle gurgle~"

The lid of the alchemy furnace was blown away by the air wave, hit the ceiling and fell to the ground. Black smoke billowed out of the furnace and a burnt smell filled the alchemy room.

Lin Shan turned the stove upside down.

“Ding ding ding ding ding~”

A dozen black, round and flat stones fell to the ground. This was his "masterpiece" after learning alchemy for a month.

Pick up these pebbles and the reinforcement panel will appear in front of you.

【Unnamed Pill】 (Waste Pill)

Quality: Innate elixir

Introduction: Contains elixir poison. Overdose can cause permanent damage to cultivators below the foundation-building stage.

Enhancement required: 8 points

……

"What the hell? I made poison?"

"Waste pills can also be strengthened?"

"Should I try drugs?"

"Maybe my skill tree has grown crooked?" A series of question marks hung in Lin Shan's mind. He couldn't help but think wildly, and it took him a long time to come back to his mind. He finally realized that he really had no talent in alchemy.

However, building the foundation is the most urgent task, so it will be fine as long as he makes do with it. He doesn't plan to major in this anyway.

He opened the cave to let out the black smoke, purified the indoor air, and began to reflect on what went wrong in his alchemy.

……

For the next half month, the sound of furnace explosions could be heard from time to time in the cave.

Fortunately, the energy of low-level elixirs is not very strong, so this alchemy furnace can barely hold it.

The cave's soundproofing was also quite good, so it didn't disturb the neighbors.

But the problem is that Linshan has been emitting polluting gases continuously. Many trees, flowers and plants in the cave park have withered. The poisonous fallen leaves have fallen into the pond and even killed many spirit fish.

The monks in charge of the cave could no longer sit still. As Lin Shan was a subordinate of "Zuo Zhenren" from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although they did not chase him away, they still went to his house to warn him many times.

If you pollute the environment of the Dongfu District again, our Dongfu Property Management Department will unite all the property owners to hold a referendum and remove you, the guy who destroys the environment, from the Dongfu District.

Lin Shan tried his best to persuade the people and kept paying compensation with spirit stones to express his apologies. With half a month's practice, the situation of the furnace explosion gradually improved, and the pills that came out of the furnace were basically "round".

By this time, most of the thirty portions of medicinal materials had been consumed, and his notebook was filled with notes. He had mastered all the steps of alchemy and finally managed to get started.

During the several attempts at alchemy that followed, he finally found a "genuine" pill among a dozen waste pills.

【Unnamed Pill】

Quality: Innate elixir

Introduction: A low-end version of the Foundation Establishment Pill, which slightly increases the power of Qi and Spirit synthesis and slightly eliminates Dao Marks.

Enhancement required: 8 points

……

"really!"

Lin Shan looked at the green pill in his hand excitedly. It was only the size of a fingernail and exuded a faint spiritual energy and the fragrance of plants. The most important thing was that it had the special effect of a foundation-building pill.

"Let's see if it can become a foundation-building pill after strengthening it."

Lin Shan rubbed his hands excitedly and gave instructions secretly in his mind.

"strengthen!"

The elixir in front of him flashed and grew a whole circle larger. A burst of refreshing grass and wood fragrance spread out, and the strengthening panel also changed accordingly.

【Unnamed Pill】

Quality: Jade Dan

Introduction: A low-profile version of the Foundation Establishment Pill, moderately increases the power of Qi and Spirit synthesis, and moderately eliminates Dao Marks.

Enhancement required: 16 points

……

"Continue to strengthen!"

When Lin Shan saw that there was a chance, he almost jumped up with excitement, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

【Foundation Pill】

Quality: Fardan

Introduction: A special elixir that assists in foundation building, greatly improving the power of Qi and Spirit synthesis, and can eliminate Dao marks below the foundation building stage.

Strengthening requirements: 32 points.

……

"it is good!"

A hearty laugh echoed in the alchemy room, but because of the soundproofing restrictions, it would not be heard outside at all.

Foundation Building Pill!
Or I figured it out myself.

Although one needs to be strengthened twice in a row, it consumes 24 points of ancient rhyme.

But it's all worth it.

It is produced by the enhanced panel and must be a top-quality product. The effect is definitely far superior to other foundation-building pills on the market. It seems that there is hope for foundation-building this time!
