My Optimized Immortal Life

A day later, Chen Qing walked down from upstairs and said with a sad face.

"My cultivation speed has indeed increased a lot, but I am really tired. Sigh, life is not easy, and I sigh every day."

When they reached the first floor, Chen Qing took out the storage bag that Xu Lingxin had used to purchase materials, counted them briefly, and nodded.

"Fire Scale Fruit, Blue Vein Grass, Crape Myrtle Flower... These are the ingredients for refining the Morning Glow Pill. There's a lot of them, enough for me to refine it more than ten times, but I won't need that much anymore."

Now Chen Qingjin has entered the tenth level of Qi Refining. He only needs to accumulate more mana before he can try to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. He can only take seven or eight more of these Chaoxia Pills to increase his cultivation level. After that, he can only sell the remaining ones at an auction or on the black market.

Having stayed in Hualiangu for ten years, Chen Qing naturally came into contact with the black market here through some cultivators. In fact, there are places similar to black markets in various markets, which are used to sell some shady property. However, since Pingxiang Prefecture borders the Demonic Path, there are many more things on the black market than in other markets.

And it is thanks to this that Chen Qing can see the hope of finding the Foundation Establishment Pill here.

Foundation-building pills are controlled items most of the time. After all, the foundation-building stage is considered the backbone of the entire Song State.

So if you want to get a foundation-building pill, there are only two ways.

One is to join some big forces, such as Lieyang Sect, Baihua Sect and other Jindan-level sects. Since these sects have Jindan ancestors in charge, they occupy most of the immortal cultivation resources in the entire Song Dynasty, which naturally includes the foundation-building pill.

The second is to purchase it on the black market. After all, the black market is a place for selling stolen goods, especially things like the Foundation Establishment Pill, the price is outrageous.

Although Chen Qing had some financial resources, he could not guarantee that he could bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Moreover, after bidding for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had to ensure that he could walk out of the auction house safely. Chen Qing did not have much confidence in this.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to get the finished foundation-building pill directly, so Chen Qing set his sights on the pill formula.

The recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill is actually very common. Although it is ranked second, it is sold in many stores because of its great help to cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. However, the price is quite high.

But compared to the Foundation Establishment Pill, it seems dwarfed.

Chen Qing had naturally obtained the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill a long time ago, but he was unable to refine it at the moment.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was ranked second, which had already surpassed Chen Qing's alchemy skill level. He was really not sure about refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, not to mention that he had not even collected all the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The three main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill are the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, the Purple Mysterious Flower, and the Huanxin Grass.

Among these three main ingredients, the Tianling Fruit is a second-level spiritual fruit, which is extremely rare. Chen Qing has never seen it in person, whether in Maple Valley, Qiuye Island, or the current Hualian Valley. He only heard people say that it appeared at an auction and was sold for eight hundred spirit stones.

As for the Purple Mysterious Flower and the Illusion Heart Grass, the former is a rare spiritual medicine found in deep mountains and old forests. If you want to use it to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, it must be at least a hundred years old, but it is not difficult to find. The latter is a specialty of a region, divided up by the major sects, and the amount flowing into the hands of independent cultivators is extremely small, but if you are willing to spend spirit stones, it is not impossible to get it.

In addition to these three main ingredients, there are more than ten other ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill. However, these materials are all common spiritual medicines, and Chen Qing has already purchased more than a dozen of them.

Tianxin Fruit is not available at the moment, but he has asked several shops to keep an eye out for Zixuanhua. He will go out and see if they can find it later. As for Huanxin Grass, perhaps he has to go to the area where it is produced?

As his thoughts faded, Chen Qing sighed to himself.

It is too difficult to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill and cannot be forced. As for the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, although I still have a Linlang Mansion Order on me, the Linlang Secret Realm is obviously not that simple, and the risk of going there to obtain the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object is too great.

If he couldn't get the Foundation Establishment Pill, Chen Qing would have to try to break through on his own.

Although he was quite confident that he could advance to the foundation-building stage, if he could get a foundation-building pill, it would be almost certain.

Putting away the storage bag in his hand, Chen Qing then walked out the door. He had to go to those shops to see if there were any purple Xuan flowers.

After turning a few alleys, a large shop suddenly appeared in front of Chen Qing.

The door was open, and many spiritual materials could be seen placed inside, but they were all separated by a counter. A fat middle-aged man was standing behind the counter, greeting the cultivators who came into the store to buy spiritual materials.

As soon as Chen Qing walked in, the middle-aged man saw him at a glance, then stepped forward and greeted him.

"Master Jiang, are you here to look for your Purple Mysterious Flower again?"

"Shopkeeper Wang is smiling so happily. It seems that the purple heart flower I've been waiting for for years has finally been found."

Chen Qing smiled.

The middle-aged man's name is Wang Xing. His cultivation level is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Although he is not as good as Chen Qing, he is one of the few late-stage cultivators in Hualian Valley. Otherwise, he would not be able to open such a large store.

Wang Xing had a look of joy on his face. He gave a few instructions to a waiter beside him, then walked up to Chen Qing and spoke.

"Master Jiang's purple mysterious flower caused my monks to have a hard time finding it. We searched the deep mountains and old forests near the entire Hualian Valley before finally finding two."

While talking about the difficulty of the search, Wang Xing took the two jade boxes from the guy who had just walked over and held them in front of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing opened the two jade boxes and saw two purple flowers the size of washbasins inside. The flowers were purple all over, with twelve petals. A faint wisp of spiritual energy could be seen floating in the stamens, carrying a mysterious aura.

After observing carefully, Chen Qing nodded happily.

"Yes, these two purple mysterious flowers are over two hundred years old, which is more than enough to be used as the main ingredient for the foundation-building pill."

When Wang Xing heard this, he showed an expression that said, "As expected."

Although the magical medicine Purple Xuanhua is the main ingredient or auxiliary ingredient of many elixirs, the demand for it is not high.

There is only one recipe that requires two hundred year old purple Xuan flower, and that is the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Thinking of this, Wang Xing looked at Chen Qing with a hint of fear.

Cultivators like these who go to collect the spiritual materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill have already reached the perfection of Qi Refining. No matter what means they have, this level of cultivation alone is worthy of Wang Xing's serious consideration.

Not to mention, the person in front of him is a talisman master.

After closing the two jade boxes, Chen Qing took them from Wang Xing and put them into the storage bag.

"This purple Xuan flower from Shopkeeper Wang is very good. Jiang will accept it."

Wang Xingdao.

"It is my great fortune to be able to find the spiritual materials for Master Jiang Fu's foundation building. I would like to wish Senior Jiang success in his endeavors."

"Haha, that's right, Shopkeeper Wang is still the same as always. In that case, then Jiang can't be stingy. These are fifty mid-grade talismans, which should be enough to compare to two purple mysterious flowers."

Chen Qing laughed heartily, then took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag and handed them to Wang Xing.

Wang Xing took the stack of talismans with a look of joy in his eyes. Fifty medium-grade talismans were worth at least 1,100 spirit stones. Although two-hundred-year-old purple Xuan flowers were rare, the price of one would not exceed 500 spirit stones. All in all, Wang Xing made a profit.

But when Wang Xing was surprised, Chen Qing took out another talisman from the storage bag and handed it to Wang Xing.

"This is……"

Wang Xing looked puzzled.

Chen Qing smiled and said, "This is a special portion for you."

After saying that, Chen Qing turned and left.

As Wang Xing looked at the talisman in his hand, the confusion on his face gradually turned into surprise.

"Golden Sword Light Talisman!"
