Chapter 72: Searching for the Foundation-Building Pill Recipe

She raised her head slightly and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, now with more and more cultivators coming to Yunshan Market, the demand for elixirs is also increasing day by day. The prices are naturally rising, and elixirs are becoming extremely scarce."

Our store doesn't have much stock left, and we're urgently transferring it from elsewhere, which will take quite a while. This batch of elixirs sent by Fellow Daoist Zheng has truly solved Tianbao Pavilion's urgent needs! I'd like to thank Fellow Daoist Zheng here. After saying this, Shangguan Zi bowed slightly to express her gratitude to Zheng Yuan.

Seeing Shangguan Zi's movements, Zheng Yuan quickly stood up and held Shangguan Zi firmly with both hands. In an instant, their eyes met, and where their eyes met, it seemed as if ripples appeared.

Zheng Yuan's eyes were filled with sincerity and humility. He chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, you're too polite. We're partners, and it's my duty to deliver the elixirs. Furthermore, over the years, Fellow Daoist Shangguan has taken great care of me, and I've always remembered that."

Shangguan Zi's cheeks flushed slightly after hearing this, revealing a hint of shyness. She didn't dare to look Zheng Yuan in the eye again, and lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuan chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, please sit down first. I still have something to ask you!"

Shangguan Zi nodded slightly and sat down obediently, but she was still a little flustered. The ripples that had just appeared in her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Fellow Daoist Shangguan, do you know if there are real Yunlong Sect ruins near Yunshan Market? Zheng Yuan's eyes flickered with curiosity as he looked at Shangguan Zi, waiting for her answer.

Shangguan Zi nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, this is indeed true. There are indeed Yunlong Sect ruins near Yunshan Market."

According to previous records, the Yunlong Sect was in this area three thousand years ago, but the ruins of the Yunlong Sect were buried by time and few people know its exact location.

So now all the sects, including the demonic sects, have sent disciples to search for traces near Yunshan Market.

Zheng Yuan nodded slightly, chuckled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangguan, for telling me."

"Fellow Daoist Zheng, are you interested in the Yunlong Sect ruins?" Shangguan Zi asked with a smile, as if trying to find out what Zheng Yuan was thinking from his answer.

Zheng Yuan was slightly stunned, then he revealed a faint smile and responded, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, you are joking. Since there are such rumors about the ruins of the Yunlong Sect and there may be many opportunities hidden there, I am naturally interested."

He just didn't know where the ruins were, or how dangerous they were. He pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of exploring the ruins.

Shangguan Zi nodded gently, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zheng is indeed a man of courage and insight. Although the Yunlong Sect ruins are full of temptations, they are also accompanied by many unknown dangers."

It's said that the ruins may be protected by powerful prohibitions and formations, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a desperate situation. However, if one can enter the ruins, the rewards will surely be substantial. Her tone was tinged with caution, reminding Zheng Yuan of the risks involved.

Zheng Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangguan, for your reminder. I will carefully consider this matter. If I have the opportunity, I will carefully explore the Yunlong Sect." He was clearly weighing the pros and cons of exploring the ruins.

Fellow Daoist Zheng does not need to worry too much. According to the information I have received, the various sects have an agreement to only allow cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages to participate in the exploration of the Yunlong Sect ruins.

After hearing this, Zheng Yuan felt relieved and nodded slightly, saying, "That's great. This way, the competitive pressure will be relatively smaller."

However, even if they are all cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, there will surely be many masters participating in it, and the exploration of the Yunlong Sect ruins will definitely not be easy.

A hint of caution appeared in his eyes as he began to think about the situations and countermeasures he might face in this exploration.

After a moment, Zheng Yuan asked Shangguan Zi, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, does your palace have any foundation-building pill recipes for sale?"

There was a hint of anticipation in Zheng Yuan's eyes. After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill was extremely important for cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage. If he could get the pill formula, he would gather all the spiritual herbs and then refine the pill for Yu'er. With Yu'er's pill-making skills, he might be able to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage with ten Foundation Establishment Pills.

Shangguan Zi shook his head slightly and said solemnly that in the land of the Five Kingdoms, pill formulas and exercises after the foundation-building stage cannot be bought and sold.

If discovered by the various sects, they would be exterminated. Her tone was serious, and it was obvious that she took this rule very seriously.

Fellow Daoist Zheng, this rule has been around for a long time and is strictly observed by all sects.

If violated, it will bring disaster. Therefore, I cannot provide you with the foundation-building pill formula. Shangguan Zi looked at Zheng Yuan, a hint of apology in her eyes.

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this, feeling somewhat disappointed. He knew the severity of this rule and understood Shangguan Zi's difficulties.

"If that's the case, then forget it. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangguan, for telling me." Zheng Yuan sighed softly and said helplessly. He began to think of other possible ways to obtain the foundation-building pill formula. After all, the foundation-building pill formula was related to whether he could establish his foundation.

But Fellow Daoist Zheng, as a disciple of the Danqing Sect, perhaps you can get the foundation-building pill formula from the sect! Shangguan Zi's eyes flashed with a glint, and she looked at Zheng Yuan with some anticipation.

She continued, saying that although the various sects had strict control over the pill formulas and the exercises after the foundation-building stage, there might be some ways to obtain them within the sect.

Fellow Daoist Zheng must have certain connections and opportunities in the Danqing Sect. If he looks carefully, he might be able to obtain the formula for the foundation-building pill.

After hearing this, Zheng Yuan pondered. He knew Shangguan Zi had a point. As a disciple of the Danqing Sect, he might indeed have a chance to obtain the foundation-building pill formula within the sect.

But he also knew that this was not an easy task. The competition within the sect was equally fierce, and there were many rules. It was not easy to obtain the foundation-building pill formula.

Fellow Daoist Shangguan is absolutely right. I will pay attention to this matter in the sect.

He wanted to ask Uncle Xiao later to see if he could find clues to the foundation-building pill formula in Danqing Sect. However, Uncle Xiao had not returned to Danqing Sect for a long time and did not have any important business.

Fellow Daoist Zheng, do you want to exchange all your Guiyuan Pills for spirit stones?

Fellow Daoist Shangguan, why don’t you change it to Huangyuan Dan for me!

When Shangguan Zi heard that Zheng Yuan was going to exchange it for Huang Yuan Dan, her face became a little embarrassed and she said, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, there are only ten bottles of Huang Yuan Dan left in the store now. How about I exchange the rest for spirit stones?"

Zheng Yuan chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, please give me two more bottles of spirit beast pills, and exchange the rest for spirit stones!"

Then Shangguan Zi took out ten bottles of Huangyuan Dan, two bottles of Lingshou Dan and spirit stones, and spoke to Zheng Yuan.

Daoist Zheng, the price of elixirs has increased. Guiyuan Pills are now selling for thirty spirit stones per bottle. Your ninety bottles of Guiyuan Pills are worth a total of two thousand seven hundred low-grade spirit stones.
