Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

There is a teahouse next to the West City Market. It does not sell alcohol or food, but only a kind of spiritual tea suitable for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

One low-grade spirit stone can buy a pot of spirit tea.

When Chen Yunhao first arrived in Yuxian City, he was short of money and was reluctant to give up this low-grade spirit stone.

After coming out of the West City Market today, Chen Yunhao turned into Lai Fu Teahouse.

It has been several months since he came to Yuxian City. Except for a few trips to the West City Market, Chen Yunhao almost never leaves the house.

It is not good to work in isolation and turn a deaf ear to the outside world. Besides, at his current speed of practice, he will have established a foundation within two or three years.

Some preparations need to be started in advance, such as saving spirit stones to exchange for a better place for practice, saving spirit stones to buy foundation-building pills, buying higher-level skills, etc.

To buy these things, you need a source of information. In teahouses, there are all kinds of people, and various sources of information spread very quickly.

Chen Yunhao went straight up to the second floor, asked for a seat by the window, and ordered a pot of spiritual tea.

While sipping the spiritual tea alone, his attention was focused on the monks in the teahouse.

There are not many people drinking tea alone in a teahouse, most of them are two or three people at a table.

If they really want to discuss confidential matters, they will go to the private room on the third floor, where there are isolation restrictions.

"For the recruitment of outer disciples for the Five Elements Sect this year, I will have to rely heavily on Brother Wang..."

This was the conversation between two young monks sitting at a table near Chen Yunhao.

"No problem, no problem. My uncle is a deacon in the outer sect of the Five Elements Sect. He can have some say."

The young monk who was called Brother Wang looked very proud, as if his uncle was some extraordinary person.

No matter which sect it is, new disciples will be recruited every year, but they will be divided into inner disciples and outer disciples based on their spiritual roots and qualifications.

Chen Yunhao was not interested in any kind of disciple. With his current means of making money, joining a sect would be very inconvenient.

Although you may be able to obtain a large amount of information and resources after joining a sect, it is also easy to expose your own secrets.

As far as he knew, there was no technique related to his spiritual roots in the Five Elements Sect. If there really was a technique related to his thunder spiritual roots, he wouldn't mind joining another sect.

After all, sometimes these high-level skills cannot be bought on the market with money.

Chen Yunhao shifted his attention to the three monks at another table.

"Congratulations, Brother Li! This time, we found a five-hundred-year-old spiritual medicine from the Hengduan Mountains. I'm sure we can exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Medicine King Pavilion!"

The monk named Li sat at the head of the two men, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face.

"Don't dare to say anything, wealth should not be exposed!"

The monk surnamed Li waved his hand and spoke in a low voice.

This cultivator named Li has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Presumably, he ventured into the Hengduan Mountains this time in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"It's a shame that after escaping death this time, all I got in return was an ordinary stalk of Continuation Grass. Although it's old enough, I'm afraid it's still a bit far from being enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill..."

The monk surnamed Li shook his head slowly, his tone full of regret.

Chen Yunhao obtained another piece of information from the conversation between these three monks.

That is the source of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it is not limited to the Five Elements Sect’s auction.

As long as you have a spiritual medicine that is old enough, you can exchange it for a foundation-building pill in the store in Yaowang Valley.

On this continent, the only one truly famous for alchemy is Yaowang Valley, and other sects can only stand aside.

Before this, Chen Yunhao had learned about the recipes for the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was said that there were no less than six recipes.

There is a recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill in Tianzhen Temple, which requires a total of thirty-six kinds of spiritual herbs.

Each of the six main medicinal materials must be at least 200 years old, and other auxiliary medicinal materials must also be more than 100 years old.

Not to mention the years, just collecting these thirty-six spiritual medicines is very difficult.

Therefore, in the past, Tianzhen Temple could only collect the spiritual herbs needed to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills every five to ten years.

Therefore, only three to five foundation-building pills could be refined every five to ten years, which was not enough for the disciples to share. This greatly hindered the development and growth of Tianzhen Temple.

It is said that Yaowang Valley was a sect founded by three top alchemists four or five thousand years ago.

After thousands of years of development, it has become one of the top sects on this continent.

Yaowang Valley does have regulations for the outside world. If you can get the main ingredient of a foundation-building pill that is more than 500 years old, you can exchange it for a foundation-building pill in Yaowang Pavilion.

If you exchange it for other spiritual medicines that are more than 500 years old, you will be given corresponding compensation based on the quality and efficacy of the spiritual medicine.

It is because of this rule that the cultivators at the lowest level of the Qi Refining Stage will risk their lives to go deep into the mountains and swamps to provide Medicine King Valley with a steady supply of various elixirs.

Although Yaowang Valley is a wealthy family with tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields within its own sect, there is no shortage of young spiritual medicines. However, old spiritual medicines are in short supply in every sect, and Yaowang Valley is no exception.

With this piece of information, Chen Yunhao will pay attention to collecting more spiritual medicines in the future.

Chen Yunhao wanted to listen to what the other cultivators were talking about, and his eyes inadvertently swept out the window.

He saw the female cultivator he had seen before. At this time, the female cultivator was followed by three male cultivators and was heading towards the West City Market.

Chen Yunhao narrowed his eyes slightly and took a sip of the spiritual tea.

The boiling hot spiritual tea with a hint of spiritual energy flowed down his throat, which made him feel refreshed and his mind suddenly opened up.

This time, the female cultivator was followed by three male cultivators, none of whom was the one seen last time.

One of the male monks looked familiar to him. He seemed to be a male monk who rented a house nearby.

Judging from this, the female cultivator’s last trip to the Hengduan Mountains must have been unsuccessful.

However, the two monks who were summoned last time were nowhere to be seen, and the outcome was self-evident.

Two or three months later, seeing this scene again, a flash of inspiration came to Chen Yunhao's mind.

He knew why this female cultivator came to knock on his door. It wasn't just his door that was knocked on. Most of the cultivators living in that area would have their doors knocked on.

How to say it, a cultivator who can afford to rent a house in Xicheng and live there all year round is definitely richer than a wandering cultivator.

Thinking of this, Chen Yunhao couldn't help but take a breath.

In the world of cultivating immortals, people will resort to all kinds of tricks and schemes to obtain some resources for cultivation.

Although Chen Yunhao lacks experience in the underworld, he is indeed cautious by nature.

The guess I just made is actually pretty close to the truth.

As the saying goes, birds die for food and people die for money. If it’s none of your business, just stay out of it.

Even if Chen Yunhao guessed something, he would pretend not to see it. This is the world of cultivating immortals. He is not a saint, and he is no exception.
