The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Chapter 264: Lottery in Progress

"Foundation-Building Pill?" The other people then walked to Ling Yan'er's stall.

One of the men asked, "Can we only draw from this lottery? Can't we just buy it?"

"No." Ling Yan'er said.

"How many are there in this one? How many do you need to draw to get the Foundation Establishment Pill?" asked the girl who greeted everyone at the beginning.

"It depends on luck." Ling Yan'er said, "If you're lucky, you can get it in one go. If you're unlucky, you won't get it even if you try hundreds of times. I don't know exactly how many I put in, I didn't count, but I put in ten Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Sister, shall we draw two and try?" the girl asked the person next to her. "Even if we don't get the Foundation Establishment Pill, at the very least we can get the materials."

Although the materials are really not worth much.

"What about you guys?" the girl next to her asked her companions.

The man who had been silent the whole time said, "If you have spirit stones and are willing, you can draw. There's no need to ask others."

"Then I'll draw two." The girl who first discovered the place put the spirit stones into Ling Yan'er's basket first, and then at Dongfang Zichu's signal, she reached in and took out two slips of paper.

She unfolded the paper and compared it with Ling Yan'er's wooden board. "Ah, I only drew one ingredient and one pill."

Ling Yan'er pointed to the basket of ingredients and pills and said, "You can choose for yourself."

The materials include various spiritual herbs and refining materials, and there are also several kinds of pills with similar values.

Although the value is similar, there are still quite a lot of varieties, all of which were stuffed together by Ling Yan'er. Ling Yan'er also packaged the pills separately to ensure that there is only one pill in each bottle. Don't ask, if you ask, she just feels that it's a loss.

The girl chose a bottle of rejuvenation pills and a spiritual herb. "I just need this spiritual herb for the pill I'm refining. It saves me from buying it separately. This one is of quite good quality."

Ling Yan'er took a look at it. It was something she had dug out from the secret realm before. After being certified by Su Hongxiu, no spiritual herbs from other places could be used except those she dug out from the suspected spiritual herb garden.

So the spiritual herbs on display were all dug there, dug by the system, so of course the quality was good, without any damage, and Dongfang Zichu was singled out for criticism for digging them in a mess.

After the girl made her selection, she said to the boy who was probably the leader, "Brother, I think the bones in that material are good. Your weapon is still short of some materials, so you can give it a try."

Another boy said, "This is not worth 500 spirit stones."

The girl gave some advice and then stopped talking. She put the spiritual herbs in a separate box.

The remaining girls drew twice, but their luck was not very good. Both of them only won the third prize.

After they selected the materials, they left. Ling Yan'er watched them walk away. After a while, two more people came and drew several times, and both won third prizes.

Ling Yan'er was very anxious when she saw that no one had won the grand prize, the Foundation Establishment Pill. She knew that having the Foundation Establishment Pill as a prize was nothing. Only when the first person drew it would more people be willing to come and draw!

No one came until the evening. Ling Yan'er took out dinner and ate it before asking Dongfang Zichu, "Where are we going to sleep tonight? Can I take out the flying boat?"

Dongfang Zichu didn't know either, but seeing that no one around him moved, it was unrealistic to ask Ling Yan'er to guard the stall all night.

So he said, "Why don't you put the bed out later and sleep here."

Not long after he finished speaking, he saw Ling Ziye coming back. After he arrived, he said, "I'll take you to release the flying boat. You can sleep on it, but can more than one person sleep on it? I'll give you spirit stones as accommodation fees."

Ling Yan'er nodded: "Sure!"

Ling Ziye looked at Dongfang Zichu: "Then you take care of the stall first."

"Okay." Dongfang Zichu nodded with despair. He knew it would be like this.

However, he was worried about letting Ling Yan'er be alone on the flying boat and asking Ling Ziye to come over. As for asking Ling Ziye to guard the stall, it was probably not realistic.

As for closing down the stall, it’s hard to say whether there will still be a place for them tomorrow.

Ling Ziye took Ling Yan'er to the direction of the manager. When they arrived, Ling Yan'er saw several men and women in gorgeous clothes standing next to the manager.

Ling Yan'er lowered her head and turned on her phone, and found that those people were all in the Nascent Soul stage. Fortunately, they all had green names, and only one had a yellow name.

"Is the flying boat on her?" the manager asked Ling Ziye.

"It's her flying boat," Ling Ziye said. He had no intention of introducing Ling Yan'er to them. Instead, he said, "Let's go. Where should we put the flying boat?"

The steward said, "Just put it here."

When Ling Yan'er heard this, she placed the flying boat behind him. When several people saw the flying boat, someone said, "This flying boat looks good."

Ling Ziye didn't respond. He put one hand on Ling Yan'er's arm, took Ling Yan'er to the flying boat, and then let Ling Yan'er rest.

Ling Yan'er obediently found a room and went in. After closing the door, she washed up, lay on the bed, and turned on her cell phone to see where Ling Ziye and the others were.

Finding everyone, including the steward, in a room, Ling Yan'er whispered, "I knew you weren't here to rest!"

Unfortunately, I don’t know what they are talking about. Ling Yan’er watched for a while, then switched to Dongfang Zichu’s direction to see if anyone was drawing the lottery there.

As she was watching, Ling Yan'er fell asleep. When she woke up, she took out her cell phone and saw that only Ling Ziye was still on the flying boat.

It looked like they had finished their discussion. Ling Yan'er went out to the small cafeteria for breakfast. Halfway through her meal, Ling Ziye came over and said, "I'll take you there after you finish your meal and pick you up in the evening. Leave the flying boat here and let the steward look after it for you."

"Okay." Ling Yan'er said, "I can retract this flying boat remotely. It won't be lost."

She only found out later that all operations of the flying boat after it was launched were controlled on the mobile phone, and folding it up was also controlled on the mobile phone, without any distance restrictions.

Ling Ziye also understood what was going on and said, "I understand."

"Is there anything you want to do here?" Ling Yan'er asked.

Ling Ziye didn't hide it: "Mei Qingxu knows about a secret place that will be open in six months, and she invited me to go with her."

"Secret realm?" Ling Yan'er asked, "How did she get the news that it would be open in six months?"

"This secret realm was opened by several sects." Ling Ziye said, "The independent cultivators won't let too many people in, but if there are too few people, there won't be much benefit either."

Ling Yan'er nodded and applied, "I want to go too!"

Ling Ziye said, "This secret realm is different. One needs to be at least at the Golden Core stage to enter."

The minimum level of cultivation is restricted, but the maximum level is not restricted, so Mei Qingxu was willing to say it out.

Only those at the lowest Jindan stage can enter. Even if she is at the Yuanying stage, she will not have an advantage there, so she told them to enter the secret realm and join the group.

"Then I'll go with you to the entrance of the secret realm, just in case I can get in. If not, forget it." Ling Yan'er said, "Don't worry, I don't need your protection. I have magic weapons to protect myself!"

Ling Ziye said, "Then I'll ask to borrow your flying boat to take us to the entrance of the secret realm."

"No problem!" Ling Yan'er said.

As long as she reaches the entrance to the secret realm, she should be able to get in. If that doesn't work, then so be it.

Ling Yan'er was so busy trying to get Ling Ziye's consent that she forgot... she was in school, and if it was during class time, she couldn't leave the school at all.

It’s just that Ling Yan’er didn’t remember it at the moment, and Ling Ziye, because he and Ling Yan’er went out to Lingyun City to eliminate the evil cultivators during class.

I also don’t know why Ling Yan’er can’t go out during class.

Ling Ziye sent Ling Yan'er to the stall. Ling Yan'er asked Dongfang Zichu, who had been guarding the stall all night, "Was there anyone here last night?"

Dongfang Zichu yawned: "Yes, someone even drew a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Someone got the Foundation Establishment Pill?!" Ling Yan'er couldn't help but raise her voice.

The surrounding stall owners all turned their gazes towards Ling Yan'er. Ling Yan'er coughed before whispering, "I didn't even see the grand spectacle of the first Foundation Establishment Pill being taken away."

"Yeah." Dongfang Zichu glanced around and said, "No need to keep quiet. They all came here to draw after winning the Foundation Establishment Pill. It's just a pity that no one got the Foundation Establishment Pill."

When the stall owners around heard Dongfang Zichu's words, they secretly hated him. If Ling Ziye hadn't sent Ling Yan'er over, they would not be able to beat Dongfang Zichu and would have attacked him long ago!

By noon, many people were coming and going in a hurry, but not many were participating in the lottery. Ling Yan'er was bored and propped up her head to look at the people coming and going.

Her lottery is indeed not suitable here, after all, her price is too high here.

The people here are basically poor independent cultivators, and she is still in the Qi Refining stage, and independent cultivators in the Qi Refining stage are even poorer.

Ling Yan'er sighed. She should set up a stall in the territory of a big sect where there are rich people everywhere. Those people are her target customers.

This cannot be blamed on Ling Ziye. Judging from the level of familiarity between Ling Ziye and the manager, he probably has been buying cultivation resources here all the time.

Just when Ling Yan'er was bored, a man came up to her and said, "Ten times."

Dongfang Zichu accepted the spirit stone and asked him to draw the note. Ling Yan'er recognized that this person was the one who asked her yesterday if she would still set up a stall today.

So he asked, "Are you going to collect spirit stones?"

He replied, “Yes.”

Then he reached out and checked the notes he had taken out one by one. After finding that there were only eight, he reached out and pulled out two more.

After reading all the notes, he hesitated to speak, then gave the notes to Ling Yan'er.

Ling Yan'er checked and raised an eyebrow: "You're lucky, you actually got two Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Yes, after thirty years, I finally have the opportunity to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage." Ling Yan'er heard his ecstatic answer.

He took two bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills, put away the remaining rewards, and left in a hurry.

It seems that he is rushing to find a place to make a breakthrough.

Ling Yan'er suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with setting up a stall here. These spirit stones might be all he had, but if he could build his foundation with these two pills, then these spirit stones would be worth spending.

Just as Ling Yan'er was sighing, a lot of people came and gathered around the stall: "I heard that you can get Foundation Establishment Pills here?"

Ling Yan'er nodded. "Yes, one draw costs 500 low-grade spirit stones. The highest reward is the Foundation Establishment Pill. If you draw anything else, it's not a loss either. There are materials for refining weapons and pills, as well as magical instruments and pills. I still have seven Foundation Establishment Pills. Once they're all taken, it's over."

"We each draw ten times." The person who came gave the spirit stone to Dongfang Zichu, and then a dozen people came up one after another and took out ten slips of paper.

Then they all stood aside to check. When redeeming the prizes, Ling Yan'er realized that ten people had drawn more than a hundred times before they drew two Foundation Establishment Pills.

The rest were basically third prizes, and there were only two first prizes. Ling Yan'er thought of the person who had just drawn two Foundation Establishment Pills in ten consecutive draws, and felt a little sympathetic towards them.

But they accepted the result well: "We really won! Two of them!"

"Yes!" A girl who looked much shorter than the others burst into tears. "Big sister is definitely saved now!"

A calm girl spoke to Ling Yan'er, "If you have any more Foundation Establishment Pills in the future, could you please let me know? I'll leave you a sound transmission note."

As she spoke, she handed over a talisman.

Ling Yan'er patted the box: "There are five more here."

She smiled bitterly and said, "We don't have any spirit stones now, but we can continue to save them. If you still have some in the future, we can save more spirit stones to buy it."

Ling Yan'er took the talisman paper and said, "Okay, but I'm not sure if I can get it. I'll let you know if I can."

"Thank you." The man bowed to Ling Yan'er, and the few people with her also thanked Ling Yan'er and bowed before leaving.

After they walked away, the stall owners next door gathered around and handed their sound transmission notes to Ling Yan'er: "Please notify us when you have Foundation Establishment Pills in the future."

Ling Yan'er didn't take any of them: "I just felt sorry for them and kept them as a keepsake. Is it that easy to get a Foundation Establishment Pill? Even the big sects may not have the recipe."

Some sects feel that they cannot rely on elixirs so they don't have elixir recipes, while others didn't have such elixir recipes when they became rich. Those that have elixir recipes only sell elixirs, and things are valuable because they are rare.

Therefore, it is even more impossible for any foundation-building pill to fall into the hands of a casual cultivator.

Ling Yan'er's understanding of the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was correct, but although it was said that the Foundation Establishment Pill only required so many spirit stones, the actual situation was that even with spirit stones, one could not buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, and even with more spirit stones, one might not be able to buy it.

Su Hongxiu knew this, but she was already in the Nascent Soul stage. Even if she knew that the library had the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, she would not be able to refine such a low-level pill.

It can only be said that Ling Yan'er accidentally took out so many Foundation Establishment Pills at once, which made people afraid to provoke her.

If she only took out one foundation-building pill, even if she couldn't defeat Dongfang Zichu, someone would join forces to attack her.

It's unclear how she got one pill, but ten pills, and they were of a fairly high quality. It would be impossible to get so many without any background.

"You really can't sell this Foundation Establishment Pill separately?" someone asked unwillingly. He had been stuck at the peak of Qi Refining for quite a while.

"We can only draw it by lottery!" Ling Yan'er said, "If I were to sell it individually, I would auction it off. A lottery would be much better. Maybe I can draw it for only 500 spirit stones."
