Mysterious mirror hanging high

"A cultivator's meridians begin to dry up at the age of eighty, and seventy-eight is the peak of his life. If I can establish my foundation..."

"Humph!"

The gloomy middle-aged cultivator snorted coldly, and a powerful spiritual pressure of the ninth level of Qi training gushed out. Zhao Mingfu's face turned pale and he took several steps back.

"Damn it, your Qi training foundation is not as solid as mine. Three years ago, I failed to build my foundation. If it weren't for a genuine foundation-building pill protecting my Dantian, I would have died by now. What nonsense are you, an old man with only two years left and no path to enlightenment, bragging about!"

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

Being simply driven out of this dark alley, Zhao Mingfu finally showed an unspeakable look of despair on his face.

"After decades of diligent training, if I fail to establish my foundation, all these years of hard work and tears will be in vain!"

Zhao Mingfu felt cold and fell down on the street. The breeze blew his gray hair all over the place.

After a long while, he slowly got up from the ground and took another flying boat. After many twists and turns, he arrived at a dilapidated Taoist temple in the northern part of Xiaoyao Xiancheng near the suburbs that had been abandoned for a long time. He dug out a linen package from behind the clay statue of Zhenwu Emperor in the main hall and put it into his storage bag.

Then it took another half an hour to take the public flying boat back to the gate of Xuanjingju.

"What the hell is this?"

Jing Yu frowned as he peered through the mysterious mirror, then relaxed his brows and sneered, "It seems he's been hiding something before... Hey! Seventh Brother is still like this after all these years. He really planned to use this unfinished cave to make a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Bang bang bang-"

"Sir, please open the door. I have something important to discuss with you!" Zhao Mingfu knocked on the door fiercely and said humbly.

"Bang bang bang-"

After knocking for a long time, the door didn't move at all. Just when Zhao Mingfu was completely desperate, the door of Xuanjingju suddenly opened with a "creaky" sound.

Zhao Mingfu's mood suddenly fluctuated several times, and his face showed an abnormal redness. He was afraid that the door would be closed again, so he crawled in, keeping his head down all the way, and hurried to the main hall.

When he arrived at the main hall, he found that Jing Yu was already sitting in the main seat, his eyes cast on him with a slight sneer.

"Greetings, my lord!"

This time, Zhao Mingfu knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and cried:

"Sir, I have a secret technique that I have never mentioned before. I am afraid that possessing this treasure will lead to my own death! I am trembling with fear day and night..."

"If you are willing to give me a [Genuine Foundation Establishment Pill], I will give it to you along with this secret method, the cave spiritual contract, and all the spiritual resources in my storage bag!"

Jing Yu smiled and said, "What powerful secrets can a Qigong cultivator like you possess? How dare you claim to be guilty of possessing a treasure..."

Zhao Mingfu took out a linen package from the storage bag and carefully spread it out. Inside was a small jade slip.

This jade slip had a milky white base with a slight red tint. It was made of a rare blood jade. Qigong cultivators lacked a sea of ​​consciousness and could not cultivate divine thoughts, so they had no way of detecting the contents of the slip. However, a few simple seal characters were clearly engraved on the outside of the slip:

[The magic method of condensing blood and qi into pills in the divine palace].

Jing Yu used his magical power to capture the jade slip in his hand, and probed into it with his spiritual sense. After a moment, he looked surprised:

"This is actually a secret method to stimulate the flow of blood and essence in the body, increase the probability of forming a pill, and improve the quality of the pill!"

"The more blood and essence you use to stimulate the flow, the more significant the chances of forming a golden elixir and the quality of the golden elixir will be..."

How could Zhao Mingfu, a mere Qi-cultivating cultivator, have such an opportunity?

It should be noted that the secret method of forming a golden elixir is rare, and most of it is controlled by the golden elixir families and the major forces at the sect level and above. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators can hardly afford to raise enough money for the crystal-condensing pill, let alone the secret method of forming a golden elixir.

Moreover, the secret methods of forming a golden elixir also have different grades. Ordinary secret methods of forming a golden elixir either simply increase the probability of forming a golden elixir slightly, or simply improve the quality of the golden elixir. There are even fewer secret methods that can increase the probability of forming a golden elixir and improve the quality of the golden elixir at the same time. I am afraid that they are not common in the Taoist traditions of the Yuanying level.

The best part is that this is a secret method of forming an elixir that relies on essence and blood. It is very likely that it does not conflict with the most common secret method of forming an elixir that uses spiritual energy and magic power as a medium, and they can be used in combination!

If you think about it carefully, even if you don't have a special physique like Jing Yu that allows you to live forever and not be damaged even if your essence and blood are exhausted, even if you are just an ordinary cultivator, as long as you don't overly damage your foundation of immortality and consume your lifespan, it is worthwhile to consume a large amount of essence and blood just to increase the probability of forming a golden elixir and the quality of the golden elixir.

After all, a slightly damaged foundation can be replenished through natural treasures, but the quality of the golden elixir is determined when the elixir is formed!

The saying "no regrets once the elixir is accomplished" is exactly this principle.

"Where did you get this jade slip?" Jing Yu asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Mingfu whispered, "To answer your Excellency, I found this jade slip in a hidden cave in the Langhuo Blessed Land... That place is extremely remote, and I only found it by chance."

Jing Yu's expression froze, and he thought to himself, "It's actually a relic of the Shending Immortal Dynasty..."

Then he figured it out: "Zhao Mingfu is a Qigong cultivator after all. He hasn't opened up his sea of ​​consciousness and can't cultivate divine consciousness. Naturally, he doesn't know what the contents of this jade slip are. But judging from the name engraved on the outside, it seems to be a secret technique for forming a pill. This item is too hot for a Qigong cultivator. He can't use it at all. Even if he just reveals a little bit to others, he might face fatal disaster."

"But Zhao Mingfu didn't expect that this wasn't just an ordinary Core Formation Secret Method, but an extremely rare, top-level Core Formation Secret Method... Let alone a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill and seven hundred spirit stones, this secret method is probably impossible to buy with spirit stones on the market!"

Jing Yu's face suddenly darkened, and his good mood, which had originally come up with a miraculous method, was instantly destroyed. "Okay, Daojun once said that Seventh Brother's destiny was also influenced by my destiny of longevity. A person with such great fortune as me, is not like a person with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, secret techniques and magical powers that are thrown into his arms like they are free. Seventh Brother, a person born from the overflow of destiny, is the one who delivers the goods!"

"He had the opportunity to obtain this secret technique, but ultimately was unable to use it. He had no choice but to exchange this priceless secret technique for a Foundation Establishment Pill worth several hundred spirit stones. And for that, he still had to depend on my mood! If he met someone with bad character and credibility, he would steal this jade slip and then kill him with a spell, and all would be over... Who would he turn to for justice?"

"But then again, if he can truly use this foundation-building pill to establish his immortal foundation and continue on his path, then any price he pays will be worth it! Connecting with the Son of Luck is, after all, a mixed blessing..."
