Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 127: Foundation Establishment in Sight
Fulfill your promise?

Master Mo Dan's eyes dimmed rapidly on his deathbed, and he never remembered what the specific promise was until his death, because he had promised too many people too many things in his life.

He quickly collected the spoils, and after a cloud of fire burned them to ashes, Li Ji'an drilled into the universe in Gua Gua's mouth and escaped in an instant.

Now that Gua Gua has been promoted to a second-level spirit beast, the world in its mouth has expanded again. It is larger than a large courtyard and is as high as five meters. The only drawback is that living things cannot stay in it for a long time.

Otherwise, he would like to decorate it well.

"It's worthy of being a second-grade, top-grade alchemy furnace!" He first checked all the spoils with his spiritual sense to make sure there were no other marks before he picked up the top-grade alchemy furnace first.

After trying it a little with Danhuo, Li Ji'an's results exceeded his previous expectations, and the effect was several times better than the one Yan Qingwan gave him.

With his alchemy skills of being able to refine top-grade late-stage elixirs using a first-grade mid-grade elixir furnace for many years, using this elixir furnace, the rate of producing high-quality second-grade elixirs is estimated to be very high.

It was not until he returned to the Immortal City that he reluctantly put down the alchemy furnace and counted the other spoils.

After finishing the inventory, he was secretly shocked.

"The Zheng family is seriously injured now!"

In addition to the alchemy furnace, the storage bags of the other three people also contained late-stage finished elixirs worth nearly three thousand spirit stones, as well as various medicinal materials worth more than two thousand spirit stones.

In addition, there are more than a thousand spirit stones and three medium-grade magic weapons left.

This time, the Zheng family directly took out nearly ten thousand spirit stones to purchase from Xiancheng.

Unfortunately, no second-level strategic materials that would be beneficial to the battle were traded.

In addition, the five people who had previously robbed Master Mo Dan and his group also provided nearly 800 spirit stones and several mid-grade magic weapons in their storage bags.

This wave of income is equivalent to the income of Li Ji'an's three years of hard work in refining pills.

He naturally understood the principle of killing people and setting fires to gain the gold belt, but he also understood that it was not a long-term solution and was not in line with his own philosophy.

This time, he was looking for Master Mo Dan only to put an end to the interaction between the two people in the previous life.

"The quality of these pills is too poor. I can only buy them on the black market, as well as these magic weapons." He put a pile of supplies that could not be sold openly together, and sorted out all the spirit stones.

The number of spirit stones on his body once again reached eight thousand.

"There are enough materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

For the next period of time, in addition to refining pills daily and adapting to the second-grade high-quality alchemy furnace, he often searched in the fairy city.

By the way, I also purchased some auxiliary medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It is obvious that the commercial resources in the fairy city have been qualitatively improved compared to when the Biyun Sect was in charge.

In addition, the rules of the fairy city are also changing subtly.

Nowadays, anyone entering the city gate, except those who are not residents of the Immortal City, needs to pay an entrance fee of one spirit stone.

A special area for street vendors has also been set up, allowing individuals to set up stalls by paying a stall fee.

Many of the regulations that were unfavorable to commerce when the Biyun Sect was in power for the sake of governance are gradually disappearing. Just as Li Ji'an expected, the economic atmosphere of the entire fairy city is getting better and better.

The number of monks entering the city every day continues to rise, and more and more monks are settling in the fairy city, resulting in a sharp increase in house rents in the fairy city.

At the same time, the number of vicious ambush and killing incidents near Xiancheng is also increasing day by day.

Two months later, Li Ji'an received a message from Yan Qingwan, a piece of good news.

For some reason, the Zheng family's group of foreign aid cultivators had a short-term conflict, and the bandits took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. As a result, the Zheng family had hidden a second-level illusion array at some point, and a foundation-building leader among the bandits was trapped. In the end, the Zheng family's first ancestor in the middle stage of foundation-building was seriously injured, and a foundation-building cultivator of the bandits was killed.

Both sides suffer.

The five-family alliance represented by the Yan family became the biggest winner. They not only recaptured a high-quality medicinal field previously occupied by the Zheng family, but also recaptured the United Market that was occupied by bandits.

Li Ji'an had anticipated this result when he was counting the spoils of war taken by Master Mo Dan and his group.

However, before they could be happy about the news for long, a communication talisman that had been silent for twelve years suddenly vibrated.

It was the one that Li Ji'an left for Chen Qingling before he went to Jinhuang Immortal City.

Bad news, but also expected.

Chen Zhaohu, who could be considered a guide in this world, died of old age at the age of 108.

When he left that year, Li Ji'an sensed the decline of his Qi and blood, and saw that he would probably not live more than ten years. Before leaving, he gave him a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills. Now it seems that his life has been delayed for a few years.

After sending a message to express condolences, he naturally asked about the situation of his master, Chishi Sanren.

He was told that he had been in and out of the deep mountains and dense forests as usual, and there had been no accidents. "He should be close to 200 years old. The theoretical lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is 300 years, but in reality, few can reach that. 250 or 260 is the norm for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he gets injured again, or something unexpected happens... I think I'll have a chance to wait for him in this lifetime." Li Ji'an calculated his lifespan and felt a sense of anticipation.

Afterwards, he informed Dong Jiangling and Zhang Tiezhu of the news of Chen Zhaohu's death.

Zhao Shuyao went far away with Tong Yaoyao a few years ago, which exceeded the communication distance of ordinary communication talismans, and she still cannot be contacted now.

Chen Zhaohu could be considered the guide for the five of them when they came to this world sixty-seven years ago, and he was also the first person to help them understand this world of cultivation.

Zhang Tiezhu immediately said that now that the situation in the wilderness has stabilized somewhat, he would like to go and see them off on behalf of the five people from that year.

At the same time, Zhang Tiezhu and Dong Jiangling both felt a little touched. Chen Zhaohu had already gone, and they were not far away.

The two also asked about Zhao Shuyao's situation, and Li Ji'an told them the truth.

Unexpectedly.

Just three days after this incident, Li Ji'an unexpectedly received a message from Zhao Shuyao.

"Xiao Fan, Aunt Yao will be back soon, and you'll have a good chance of building your foundation!"

Upon hearing this news, Li Ji'an was startled.

Previously, Zhao Shuyao had implicitly expressed her intention to do her best to support him.

However, given his status, Li Ji'an did not expect too much. In fact, he was already very satisfied that he could be introduced to the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce for the first time.

Afterwards, Zhao Shuyao said that for Tong Yaoyao, the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill would not be a problem. This gave him hope. He waited for Tong Yaoyao to come back and found a way to purchase the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Nine-Star Poria, from her.

This time, Zhao Shuyao's words were so straightforward and affirmative that Li Ji'an was a little surprised.

A month later, Zhao Shuyao returned to Xiancheng and called Li Ji'an over immediately.

"Aunt Yao." When I saw Zhao Shuyao again, her hair was almost completely white and her face was getting older. After all, she was already ninety-five years old. Even with her cultivation level as a first-level peak physical cultivator, she only had twenty years left to live.

"Well, not bad. You have vigorous Qi and blood, and pure magic power. You have also reached the peak of Qi training. You didn't disappoint Aunt Yao." Zhao Shuyao looked at Li Ji'an kindly. Before he could say anything, Tong Yaoyao came over with her hands behind her back, looked Li Ji'an up and down and praised him.

"Thank you, Aunt Yao." Li Ji'an looked at Tong Yaoyao again. After not seeing her for many years, she was still as young and beautiful as ever, and her imposing aura was even greater. It was obvious that she had made another breakthrough.

"You kid, you are more pleasing to the eye than your father. What do you think? Do you have a Taoist partner now?" Tong Yaoyao nodded and asked suddenly.

Li Ji'an shook his head: "Aunt Yao, you're joking. In my situation, how can I be qualified to find a Taoist partner?"

"It's definitely not possible now, but it will be possible after the foundation is established."

Zhao Shuyao smiled and shook her head, interrupting Tong Yaoyao's frivolous words: "Yaoyao, stop joking with Xiaofan, and give the things to him quickly."

"Aunt Yao, I'm not kidding. I'm now a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. As a senior expert, isn't it normal for you to worry about the life-long affairs of a junior?" Tong Yaoyao retorted, but walked forward affectionately and took Zhao Shuyao's arm, without any dignity of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

"You, hehe." Zhao Shuyao also patted Tong Yaoyao's hand lovingly.

This scene is very heartwarming, especially in such a spiritual world, it is even more rare.

Not to mention Tong Yaoyao's excellent spiritual roots and talent, her future achievements are limitless. Even her current cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building is top-notch in the entire Cangyun Province.

Generally, in foundation-building families, or even in the five major families, whenever someone succeeds in building a foundation, their posture will change instantly. However, it is really rare to see someone like Tong Yaoyao.

This has a lot to do with family background.

"Hey, remember, this is what your Aunt Yao gave up her own promotion to the second level physical cultivation to get for you. You must remember this favor.

Also, don't let my mother know about this. Go find a second-level alchemist in Xiancheng to refine it yourself." Tong Yaoyao tossed a storage bag to Li Ji'an.

"Hmm?" Li Ji'an took the storage bag and paused for a moment.

Inside was actually a whole set of materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was really unexpected.

In the world of cultivation, it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other, masters and apprentices to turn against each other, and even fathers and sons to become enemies in order to gain the opportunity to build a foundation.

Although he knew Zhao Shuyao's kindness, he never expected that she would give him such a great gift.

He was not a person who liked to get things for free, and he had never thought of taking advantage of others. Even on the way here, he brought enough spirit stones. As long as Tong Yaoyao could help him find a main herb, he would not only remember this favor, but would also be willing to buy it at a high price.

But I definitely never thought of taking it for free.

However, at this moment, he looked at Zhao Shuyao, saw the satisfaction on her face, the hope in her eyes, and the gratified expression, and his movement to reach out and take the spirit stone faltered slightly...
