Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 54: Soul-enriching Snow Lotus: Heavenly Dao Foundation Building
Facts have proved that Xiao Chen's approach of coming to Elder Chen first was completely correct.

After listening to his report, Elder Chen said calmly, "Okay, I understand. I'll take care of the rest. How's your magic training been lately?"

Xiao Chen was a little modest: "The progress is good, and we should be able to meet the standards smoothly."

Elder Chen pulled him aside to ask about alchemy, and then gave him a few routine instructions without mentioning the flying sword any further.

There was no question even about the black market.

If he doesn't say anything, it's like he's said everything.

Xiao Chen secretly guessed in his heart that the Chen family was known to be an expert in both elixirs and weapons, and there were also Chen family members involved in weapon refining in the sect.

Could that flying sword be the work of a member of the Chen family?

If that were the case, it would actually be considered half good news. At least it would mean that this was just an ordinary case of embezzlement, and no outer disciples had died in misfortune.

Of course, since Elder Chen said he would handle it, Xiao Chen no longer worried about it.

He returned to his room and began to refine the storage bag.

This storage bag is obviously much more difficult to deal with than the previous one.

It took a full two hours to finally erase the original restrictions and refine it again.

Good news, there is indeed a booklet in the storage bag.

Bad news, that's not a spell, it's a diary.

"Shit, who the hell keeps a diary?"

Xiao Chen felt a little disappointed that he didn't get 'Every Tree and Grass Sees Enemies', but he still opened the diary to see if there were any valuable clues in it.

"On the fifth day of the apricot month, the Divine Fire Cult has become unstoppable. Big Brother said we must prepare early."

"On the eighth day of the Peach Moon, the independent cultivators in Hezhou are so poor that they couldn't even gather a hundred spirit stones after killing three of them."

"Heyue Eleven, my eldest brother said that Hezhou is no longer safe. A small group of demon cultivators have begun to cross the border. We'd better go to Lizhou."

"He Yue Nineteen, those two bastards from the Luo Tian Sect killed Lao Wu. Damn it, from now on, kill all of these damned demon cultivators to avenge Lao Wu."

"On the third day of the Guiyue month, the boss finally agreed to do two more jobs. He should have done this a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have the spiritual stones to cultivate."

Two pages were torn out from the middle.

"On the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, the fourth brother was killed. He shouldn't have gone out on his own. The Soul-Enriching Snow Lotus fell into the hands of a kid named Ye Fei. Kill him to avenge the fourth brother."

Although the diary does not record a long period of time, it contains a lot of information.

According to the news that had been widely circulated in Lizhou before, Hezhou, which is adjacent to Quanzhou, had not yet encountered the invasion of demonic cultivators.

But judging from the diary, the information released by the three major sects may be a bit outdated.

Xiao Chen had no doubt about the ability of the three major sects to collect intelligence, but he had reason to doubt whether they would tell the truth to the independent cultivators.

In addition, Luotian Sect is actually a demonic sect, which is a big problem.

He had never heard of this sect before, but today Scar recognized his Black Fire Crow at once.

Fortunately, I haven't shown this spell to anyone since I learned it, otherwise I would have become a real demon cultivator without realizing it.

In that case, the stall owner who sells fake liquor should also be a demon cultivator.

Damn, no wonder he’s a highway robber, he’s really not a good person.

It seems that the Black Fire Crow should be used as little as possible in the future. It is best to hide it as a trump card to avoid misunderstanding.

But if this happens, he will not have any magic spells that are suitable for him.

"Hiss~, yeah, where did all my magic go?"

Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that he had been a member of the inner sect for four or five months, and it was almost half a year.

The skills that should have been given to me by the Sutra Library have not arrived yet.

Damn the Jiang family, another note.

"If you have the guts, then wait until I've established my foundation and don't give it to me."

Xiao Chen made up his mind that once his power became stronger than that of the Jiang family, he would settle accounts with the Jiang family.

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and he has no magic spells to use now, which is very annoying.

In addition, there is the Soul-Bearing Snow Lotus.

Xiao Chen actually knew about this thing. It was a relatively famous first-level spiritual object, and it was common knowledge that he, an alchemist, must know.

But the leader was talking about a spiritual object for foundation building. How could this thing be related to foundation building?

The main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill are no secret, and there is definitely no Soul-Containing Snow Lotus in it.

"Could it be the legendary Heavenly Dao Foundation Building?"

There are three ways to build a foundation, namely, building a foundation in the way of heaven, building a foundation in the way of earth, and building a foundation in the way of humanity.

The so-called Heavenly Dao Foundation Building means that cultivators use the natural materials and treasures corresponding to the five elements and use the spiritual objects of heaven and earth to break through the foundation building.

This breakthrough method has a very high success rate and is said to be of great benefit to cultivation after foundation building. However, the cost is extremely high, as the natural materials and treasures used are all rare and cannot be cultivated on a large scale in spiritual fields.

There have been no related cases in Lizhou for hundreds of years, and it has basically become a legend.

As for the authentic foundation building, it is the current mainstream way of foundation building - taking foundation building pills.

Especially for cultivators with medium-grade and low-grade spiritual roots, foundation-building pills can effectively increase the chances of successful foundation-building.

Moreover, even if the foundation building fails, one can effectively protect one's own origin from being damaged and recover after a period of recuperation.

However, the raw materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill are also extremely rare.

Although it is not as valuable as the Heavenly Dao Foundation, its quantity is limited, and all channels are firmly controlled by the three major sects.

Basically, it is difficult for a casual cultivator who has no connections and no opportunities to obtain a foundation-building pill in his entire life.

Of course, you can build the foundation without the foundation-building pill.

That is the humane foundation-building method, which is to use the whole body's qi and blood to forcibly impact the major bottleneck of foundation-building.

If there are relevant secret techniques, the success rate can be slightly increased.

But generally speaking, building a human foundation is very difficult, and those who succeed are the lucky ones picked out of a hundred.

Moreover, the consequences of failure are very serious. At the very least, one's Qi and blood will be severely damaged, requiring long-term recuperation; at the worst, one will fall back to a lower realm and be left with sequelae, making it impossible for one to make another sprint to build the foundation for the rest of his life.

"Could it be that the Soul-Enriching Snow Lotus is really one of the spiritual objects used to build the foundation of the Heavenly Dao?"

Xiao Chen looked at the white snow lotus in the storage bag and was a little confused.

Yes, there is also a white snow lotus in Scar’s storage bag.

It is one foot long, with an upright and strong stem. It has tubular flowers with a total of sixteen petals. The petals have long claws and the petals are ovate.

How should I put it? I can’t say it’s exactly the same as the description in the Dan book, but I can say it’s completely consistent.

"So, that old man has one, and Scar has one too. They each have one!"

"What the hell, what did they do in those three months?"

Xiao Chen immediately realized that two pages of the diary were torn, which must be related to these snow lotuses.

Something big must have happened during that period last year.

Unfortunately, as a local, he didn't hear anything.

In addition, Scar's storage bag also contained a brand new low-grade flying sword and a khaki robe.

One hundred and thirty-three spirit stones, half a bottle of uneaten Qi Gathering Pills, two black market tokens, and an identity token for an inner disciple of the Cang Yan Sect.

Two triple fireball talismans that had not been used, and a storage box containing several unfamiliar seeds.

As well as some miscellaneous items such as night clothes, beef jerky, and wine gourds.

The most valuable things here are probably those unknown seeds.

Xiao Chen put the seeds and the storage box away carefully. If he had the chance in the future, he would find a reliable person to identify them and see what kind of seeds they were.

The number of spirit stones is relatively small, and Scar's main wealth should be his magic spells, as well as the talismans and rock and earth puppets used in battle.

Unfortunately, those things have been consumed.

After Xiao Chen finished packing his things, he counted on his fingers the things he had to do.

During the next period of time, he first needs to practice the escape technique "Golden Light on the Earth" to improve his survival ability.

Secondly, you need to find and practice a new spell to replace the Black Fire Crow.

Then, in order to purchase new spells, one has to earn spirit stones by refining pills.

Then, you need to practice the "Fire Transformation Treasure Sutra" to make more preparations for the secret realm.

Finally, I have to take the time to inquire about the news about the Heavenly Dao Foundation.

"Hiss! I've suddenly become so busy."

Thinking about how much work he had to do, Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a breath.

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.

Then, Manager Chen's voice came: "Junior Brother Xiao, Uncle San has a job refining pills. Are you free to come and help?"

Hey, that's not right!
Didn’t I just come back from Elder Chen?

Why didn't he tell me before that there was any alchemy work that needed help?
