Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 106 Late Stage of Qi Training
Before he finished speaking, Li Ji'an remained calm on the surface, but he was already on high alert in his heart. The talisman on his body was ready to be used at any time, and at the same time he summoned Gua Gua to be on standby at any time.

Because of its characteristics, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is of little use in the world of cultivation.

It was just because his body was not nourished by spiritual energy before he was eight years old, so he needed to prepare in every life.

The fact that other people in this world could refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and were "good" at it, made Li Ji'an think more.

The first marrow cleansing pill of the Xianci Dynasty was given by the "Immortal Master".

At this moment, considering that Grandma You came from the Formation Liu family, one of the five major families here, her suspicions intensified.

I even feel that it might be deliberately testing me.

"I just picked a second-rate recipe to practice when I first started learning the art of alchemy." Li Ji'an responded with a smile.

Granny You nodded: "Yes, there is no market for that kind of pills, most of them are just practice products."

"I will not disturb Master Li Dan any longer. Goodbye."

"Xiao Qiao, say goodbye to Uncle Li."

Xiao Qiao shrank back and didn't move.

After watching the grandmother and grandson leave, Li Ji'an came to his senses and thought that he might have overthought it. He had already "rejuvenated" and it shouldn't be a test.

However, Li Ji'an was wary of the Liu family's formation mentioned.

After thinking carefully for a long time, he decided to tell the other three people about this.

Zhao Shuyao is now eighty-four years old, Zhang Tiezhu is seventy-four, and Dong Jiangling is seventy. They are all over seventy years old and have almost no further hope.

Having a tangible hope in life can enhance vitality.

Besides, this is their common long-cherished wish!
Soon after the message was sent, Dong Jiangling was the first to reply. He said that his gathering place was not far from the Liu family in the formation. Compared with the other four major families, it was closer to the southern wilderness. The family his daughter married into was a vassal of the Liu family. He said that he would pay more attention in the future, but persuaded Li Ji'an not to be distracted, but to give priority to cultivation and enhance his strength.

Because Zhang Tiezhu was staying at the Yan family, he was isolated from the news and had no knowledge of anything. He just reminded Li Ji'an to be careful and wait until he had built his foundation.

Zhao Shuyao didn't reply until later in the evening, when she came over with Shopkeeper Wu.

Shopkeeper Wu praised him generously throughout the whole process, and Zhao Shuyao was also pleasantly surprised by his alchemy skills.

Only after sending Manager Wu away did Zhao Shuyao start to take things seriously.

"Xiao Fan, listen to Aunt Yao. You are still young and have little experience. Sometimes you may not be able to grasp the situation. Don't follow up on this matter. Focus on your cultivation. Once you have established your foundation, everything will be easy. Leave the rest to us old guys."

Li Ji'an was slightly stunned. When Dong Jiangling and Zhang Tiezhu advised him before, he didn't think much about it.

Zhao Shuyao was the same at this moment.

This is to regard him as the only hope.

But he is not small.

"Xiao Fan, tell Aunt Yao the truth. Is your father... secretly investigating this matter?" Without waiting for Li Ji'an to answer, Zhao Shuyao condensed her energy and blood and transmitted her voice in secret.

Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows, never expecting him to think of this.

"No news at all!"

Zhao Shuyao frowned slightly, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions: "Okay, if your father knew what you've achieved now, he would definitely be very happy. You're great!"

After sending Zhao Shuyao away, Li Ji'an stopped thinking about it. They were right. He didn't even have the strength to build a foundation, so there was really no need to think about those things.

Now that he has established himself in the Immortal City, here, as long as he has spirit stones, he can buy many resources that can only be used by the core members of the family in the wilderness.

And he possessed a skill that could make him rich. Over the next year, with the aid of sufficient fine medicinal pills, an ample supply of spiritual rice, spiritual noodles, and demon beast meat, and the stable spiritual energy provided by a first-class spiritual vein temple, he finally broke through to the sixth level of Qi training a month ago without the need for late-stage breakthrough pills, becoming a late-stage Qi training cultivator.

A cultivator in the late stage of Qi training can serve as a backup for the elders in any family in the wilderness! He is also the top combat force of a family.

As a person with mid-grade spiritual roots, it only took him a year and a half to break through this bottleneck. In addition to realizing the key to condensing gaseous mana into liquid mana early on, he also had a large proportion of resources.

"It's stable!" On this day, the seventh level of Qi training was stable, and the Dan fire in Li Ji'an's hand was condensed. The previously dark red Dan fire had turned deep red, and there were signs of turning into orange.

The color of the elixir fire represents its power. The elixir fire of Yan Qingwan in the late stage of Qi training was only deep red, and only after she established her foundation did she have orange-red elixir fire.

"It should be enough to refine high-quality late-stage elixirs!"

The profit of late-stage elixirs is relatively higher than that of mid-stage elixirs. After all, the difficulty has increased, and the ratio of market supply and demand has become relatively smaller.

"The strength of this spiritual consciousness should be almost on par with the middle stage of foundation building, right?"

The moment he broke through the middle stage of Qi training a month ago, his spiritual awareness was further enhanced. Originally, his spiritual awareness could only be projected ten feet away, but now it can be projected fifteen feet away, and his perception is even more subtle and detailed.

The growth of ordinary cultivators' souls is a passive growth from refining spiritual energy, which is equivalent to the increase in mana level. Li Ji'an's soul strength is much higher due to the foundation of "rejuvenation".

"With the current strength of my spiritual consciousness, if I could have a pill fire comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, refining a second-level pill wouldn't be a problem."

He now needs to plan for building his foundation, and the most crucial point is the foundation-building pill.

However, the Foundation Establishment Pill is not like any ordinary elixir. It is a strategic material that can truly change the situation in a place.

The main ingredient of the pill, 'Nine-Star Poria', is too scarce, and most of it is firmly controlled by the sects, almost monopolized.

Every time one appears on the market, it will be snapped up.

It is said that more than 3,000 years ago, when the main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill had not yet been monopolized by the sects, the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill was only about 1,000 spirit stones. But now, it is almost always sold for more than 5,000 spirit stones, and sometimes even over 6,000.

The most important thing is that the quality of those available on the market is generally not very good, and genuine pills (low quality) are almost the limit.

The genuine foundation-building pill only increases the success rate by an additional 20%, which is too low for Li Ji'an!

In addition to purchasing finished pills, there is another way. If you can prepare the herbs yourself, some famous second-level senior alchemists are willing to help refine them for a certain fee. However, they cannot guarantee the success rate and the quality of the pills. Most of them also use this to improve their alchemy skills. After all, the herbs for foundation-building pills are expensive and hard to find, and many second-level alchemists may not have the opportunity to practice.

Li Ji'an was unwilling to choose this option as the risk was too great. As an alchemist, he preferred to trust himself when it came to alchemy.

Apart from that there is the sect.

However, it also depends on the foundation of the sect. Through the connection with Xiao Changfeng, the Biyun Sect's Foundation Establishment Pills are not so abundant. He broke through to the late stage of Qi training three years earlier than Li Ji'an. In addition to practicing in the past few years, he has been taking on tasks from the sect in order to accumulate contribution points for exchanging for Foundation Establishment Pills.

To this end, he reduced the resources for his daily practice significantly.

He also complained many times that he didn't have time to return to the sect, otherwise he would definitely go to the Immortal City to look for Li Ji'an.

The communication some time ago seemed to be out of reach, and I already had the idea of making a breakthrough without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Top-grade spiritual roots do have this confidence. After all, top-grade spiritual roots have a 20% success rate in building the foundation. As long as the magic power is refined, the body is full of qi and blood, there are no hidden injuries, and the soul is stronger, these three levels will each account for a 20% success rate. They do not need to be full, and the success rate is 70% to 80%.

In the end, Li Ji'an still didn't have a good way out for the time being, and it seemed that he could only wait for the market to appear and compete.

This requires spirit stones, a lot of spirit stones.

With his current income and expenditure situation, after advancing to the late stage of Qi training, although he can refine late stage elixirs and his income will increase, the resources for practicing Qi training in the late stage will also increase.

It still has to be open source!
On this day, Li Ji'an received a message from Zhang Tiezhu that another war had broken out within the clan. This time the scale was unprecedented, and all eight families were involved.
