Cultivation: I have an inventory

"Do you really want to save me?"

"However, even if you just took action to save me, you have already discovered that the evil cultivators have sneaked in and have been keeping quiet. They want to use the evil cultivators to test my background. The disaster I suffered today is not unjust!"

"What's more, you Cao family is not a good person. While you want to use me to make second-level talismans to help you guard the family base, you are also very careful about me, for fear that I will be in trouble in the future! You have started planning early, thinking How can I be restrained after the war is over?"

"With these, it won't be an exaggeration for me to destroy your Cao family."

Xiao Changqing didn't feel embarrassed when he listened to Cao Hao unconsciously revealing many secrets in his heart.

If he hadn't thought that if the Cao family was destroyed now, it would be difficult for Nanshanfang to withstand the evil cultivator's attack, Xiao Changqing would probably not be merciful tonight and spare this man's life.

Yes, after Xiao Changqing inquired about the situation, he thought about it and decided to save Cao Hao's life.

However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.

Cao Hao is not dead, but the treasures on his body still need to be touched.

Without any obstruction, Xiao Changqing asked Cao Hao to take out all the contents of his storage bag.

Compared to the white-haired old woman, Cao Hao's net worth is much less, not on the same level at all.

He only has more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones on his body, and there are no magic weapons that Xiao Changqing likes. However, he has a lot of fine iron that has reached the third level, which can be worth a lot of money.

In addition, there are many elixirs and spiritual herbs.

Some of the elixirs and spiritual herbs actually overlapped with those on the white-haired old woman, so Xiao Changqing happened to interrogate them.

After a while, Cao Hao finished his 'introduction', and Xiao Changqing held several elixirs thoughtfully.

"In the middle stage of foundation building, have you started planning to form pills?"

Some of the elixirs in Cao Hao's storage bag that overlapped with those of the white-haired old woman were revealed after interrogation to be the medicinal materials for refining the essential elixir 'Ning Zhen Dan' necessary to attack the Dan Formation Realm.

It is similar to the Foundation Establishment Pill required for the Qi Refining Realm to impact the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, the value of the Ningzhen Pill is more than a hundred times higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In large fairy cities, Foundation Establishment Pills will frequently appear at major auctions and be sold publicly.

The Ningzhen Pill cannot be purchased directly with spirit stones almost anywhere.

Either the monk prepared the complete alchemy materials himself and spent a lot of money to ask a third-level alchemist to help refine it, or it was a private deal.

In short, it is extremely difficult to obtain the Ningzhen Pill.

Even if Cao Hao and the white-haired old woman were in the middle stage of foundation building, the combined medicinal materials collected over the years were not enough to complete a tenth of the Condensation Pill!

Xiao Changqing has just established the foundation now, and he is still far away from the realm of pill formation. Even with his spiritual root qualifications, it will take at least several decades before he can form pills, so there is no need to worry about condensation. Real pill' thing.

"They are both in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if you are slightly weaker, the difference in wealth is still huge!"

After Xiao Changqing finished taking stock, he put away all the 'trophies'.

I feel a little unwilling to let Cao Hao go like this.

Should we consider asking the Cao family to gather spiritual stones to redeem people?

Logically speaking, Cao Hao's net worth should not be that small. After all, the Cao family has been inherited for hundreds of years and was once the largest foundation-building family in Nanshanfang. The family should be rich.

I guess most of Cao Hao's spiritual stones have been kept in the family?

"Ask the Cao family if they have anything good."

Xiao Changqing then tortured Cao Hao again about the Cao family's inventory.

The answer I got was still not satisfactory.

The Cao family has a lot of spiritual stones in stock, as well as a lot of miscellaneous magic weapons, items, elixirs, etc., but what really makes Xiao Changqing's heart beat is the 'Foundation Building Pill'.

This Foundation-Building Pill was prepared by the Cao family before Mu Renjie's rise, for the Cao family's next Foundation-building seedling.

As a result, after many years, the Cao family did not even have a Dzogchen monk in the Qi Refining Realm who could rival Mu Chunfeng.

The Foundation Establishment Pill has never been used.

Although the Cao family is a wealthy family, they have lived in a "small place" for generations. Even the geniuses in the family who want to build foundation pills have to go to a large fairy city to buy them, and there will be no high-end items in stock.

Moreover, the Cao family has many industries and a large population.

The resources distributed by the family every month are also a large amount.

"It's really an advantage for you..."

With a thought, Xiao Changqing lifted the restriction on the nightmare technique, and Cao Hao slowly woke up.

First, he was confused for a while, his eyes were dull, as if he didn't know where he was and had forgotten who he was.

After a while, he suddenly woke up and looked at Xiao Changqing with eyes full of horror.

Originally, he thought that Xiao Changqing's spiritual consciousness and secret technique might be so powerful that it could make the white-haired old woman feel pain, and she could not even maintain the disguise of illusion and show her true form. If he meets him, he may be worse than the white-haired old woman, and his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced...

result.

He still far underestimated the terrifying extent of Xiao Changqing's consciousness.

Any reduction in combat effectiveness means simply losing the ability to resist and letting others slaughter you!

Recalling the various horrific experiences in the fantasy world, it was like going through reincarnation, which made him feel worse than death.

So although he was awake at this moment, his consciousness was sluggish and his vitality was severely damaged.

Even if Xiao Changqing lets him go next, without two or three years of cultivation, it will be difficult for him to regain his spiritual consciousness to its peak.

Now he is more and more certain that Xiao Changqing is either a peerless monster that is rare to encounter in hundreds of years, or the reincarnation of the Nascent Soul Lord who has lived for hundreds of years!

"Are you still quibbling now?" Xiao Changqing looked at him coldly and asked.

Many thoughts emerged in his mind. Finally, Cao Hao shook his head and showed a bleak smile on his face. He did not beg for mercy or say some useless words. He said frankly: "Senior Xiao, you can kill me or cut me up as you wish. I have no complaints. I was blind and had thoughts that I shouldn't have, which offended you. But please let the Cao family go. Although some members of the Cao family are dissatisfied with you, Senior Xiao, and have discussed it privately, they have never done anything to target or offend Senior Xiao... Even if, considering that the Cao family members resist "Evil cultivator, for the sake of protecting Nanshanfang, please do not kill him, Senior Xiao."

"Now you are honest, and your attitude of admitting your mistakes is not bad." Xiao Changqing nodded and pondered: "For your good attitude of admitting your mistakes. I can let the Cao family go, and even spare your life, it is not impossible..."

"Senior Xiao, if you have any conditions, please tell me. No matter what it is, even if it costs my life, I will never frown!" Cao Hao immediately replied without hesitation, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

He had just prepared to be killed.

But this was when he thought Xiao Changqing would not let him go!

He knew that the evil cultivator had sneaked into Nanshanfang, but he let him go and let him assassinate Xiao Changqing, deliberately waiting until the last moment to take action; moreover, he had always wanted to use Xiao Changqing, and was thinking about targeting Xiao Changqing after the war...

He told all these secrets in the illusion without reservation.

It was natural for Xiao Changqing to kill him.

Since there is no hope of survival, the gap in strength is huge and there is no way to resist, what else can he do except to seek death?

But... as long as Xiao Changqing is willing to spare his life, how can he give up?

"First, go and send me the foundation-building pill in the Cao family's inventory." Xiao Changqing said the first request.

Foundation-building pills are strategic items.

In the Xiuxian Market, it can make countless Qi-refining cultivators crazy and sacrifice their lives.

Even in the major immortal cities, it is a rare item that attracts many cultivators.

Every time it appears at an auction, it will cause a fight and can be auctioned at a good price.

Xiao Changqing has successfully built his foundation and can no longer use it, and he still has one in his hand that he doesn't need.

But of course, the more of this kind of thing, the better.

"No problem! I will personally send it to you, Senior Xiao, as soon as I go back!" Cao Hao nodded and agreed without hesitation.

The foundation-building pill is very precious. The Cao family paid a high price to sell it, but compared with his life, it is nothing!

"Second, you can't tell anyone what happened tonight. You found this evil cultivator early, so when she took action, you stopped her in advance and killed her. Do you understand?" Xiao Changqing pointed to the corpse next to him.

Cao Hao was stunned.

Then he nodded quickly.

It seems that this mysterious Master Xiao Fu doesn't like to be too high-profile? With such a terrifying strength, it is no different from a Jindan Zhenren, but he doesn't want to be exposed and wants to hide.

Perhaps, he doesn't want to be the focus of the evil cultivator?

"The last point, the Cao family will still have to do their best to resist the invasion of evil cultivators in the future, and there must be no negligence. Otherwise, if Nanshanfang is breached, the Cao family will also perish. Of course, if you want to join the evil cultivator, you can try it. Are you faster, or is my sword faster..." Xiao Changqing said.

"I absolutely dare not. The Cao family will definitely live and die with Nanshanfang!" Cao Hao was relieved when he heard the last condition.

Of course, he would not surrender to the evil cultivators, and he also wanted to protect Nanshanfang very much.

Xiao Changqing's intention was great news for him and the Cao family.

"Okay, you can go." Xiao Changqing waved his hand and said, "By the way. If there are materials for the second-level talismans in the future, send them to me, and I can continue to make second-level talismans. Of course, I have to charge..."

Cao Hao's eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Xiao!"

...

...

Xiao Changqing had just finished the foundation-building celebration, and a shocking battle occurred in the Jiayi Cave Mansion.

The huge movement was naturally spread.

However, Cao Hao and the Cao family explained this matter on his behalf, so Xiao Changqing didn't have any troubles, and it wouldn't be too conspicuous.

The credit for killing the evil cultivators was given to Cao Hao.

In this way, it invisibly increased the confidence of the cultivators in Nanshanfang.

The cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building sneaked in, but were discovered and killed by Cao Hao. This shows that Cao Hao's strength is invincible in the same level!

I'm afraid they are all close to the late stage of foundation building!

The confidence of ordinary cultivators increased greatly, and the members of the Cao family were even more confident and complacent.

They believed that the position of the Cao family as the largest family in Nanshanfang was truly secure.

As for Xiao Changqing, who lived in the Jiayi Cave Mansion, he was just a person with a false name and was not worthy of being compared with their family master!

But what puzzled the Cao family was that after returning from the day of killing the evil cultivator, Cao Hao convened a meeting of family elders and announced sternly that from now on, no one in the family was allowed to provoke Master Xiao Fu and the Lin sisters, and the Mu family must not be targeted again.

If anyone dared to disobey the order, he would be dealt with according to the most serious rule of the family law!

No matter who it was, even the core children, foundation seedlings, or even the supreme elders, they were treated equally!

This caused quite a controversy within the Cao family. Many people expressed different opinions on the spot, believing that the Cao family did not need to be so accommodating.

But after Cao Hao showed his power and defeated one person on the spot, no one in the Cao family dared to disobey him anymore.

Only a few people were talking privately, wondering what ulterior deal the family owner had reached with Master Xiao Fu, which made the family owner willing to be so tolerant.

But there was no other way. Cao Hao was the strongest member of the Cao family and was in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if his orders were absurd, no one would dare to object.

…

…

In the entire Nanshanfang, apart from Cao Hao, the only ones who know something about Xiao Changqing's strength are the Lin sisters.

That night, the evil cultivator assassinated the two sisters. Xiao Changqing sent the two sisters away in advance, and sent a message asking them to hide obediently and not come out without his notice.

I didn't witness the battle with my own eyes, but I roughly knew what was going on.

In the middle stage of foundation building, the evil cultivator and the head of the Cao family were defeated one by one by his own lord, one of whom was killed and the other injured.

If the head of the Cao family hadn't begged for mercy and sent the Foundation Establishment Pill as an apology, he would probably be dead, right?

Therefore, in the eyes of the Lin family sisters, even though Xiao Changqing was very familiar to them from top to bottom and had no secrets, they could not see through it at all.

Not only worship, but also awe.

A second-level talisman master who successfully built the foundation. Two months after building the foundation, he fought against two mid-stage foundation-building monks and still won...

With such unfathomable strength, even someone as proud as Lin Zixi would not dare to say that she would be a concubine who is useful to her master and whom he cannot live without.

She will still do business in Guangjulou, and she has never been in the habit of giving up halfway.

But her focus shifted to cultivation.

She set a small goal for herself: to be promoted to the seventh level of Qi refining within three years, and to achieve the Great Perfection of Qi refining within fifteen years!

When the time comes, attack the foundation!

Even if there was little hope, she would still try.

Because after a battle with the two sisters in the water, the Lord told them that if they could refine their Qi to perfection before they were sixty years old, and if conditions permit then, he could provide them with foundation-building pills.

Now Lin Zixi is working hard and must succeed in building the foundation!

Only by successfully building the foundation can you stay with your master for a longer period of time.

I no longer expect to be a concubine who can be of great help to my lord and who I can't live without, so I can only be a concubine who can accompany my lord for a long time.

…

…

Cave No. 9 with the word "Y".

This is the residence of the alchemist Zhu Youlong.

"Master Xiao Fu is here, so I am very frightened. Master Xiao Fu also ordered someone to come and notify us, why bother to go there personally."

Zhu Youlong welcomed Xiao Changqing into the cave, shunned the two young and beautiful maids, and poured the spiritual tea for Xiao Changqing himself.

Xiao Changqing took a sip of the spiritual tea and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, we have known each other for many years, so there is no need to be so polite. I came here today to ask for help with something."

Zhu Youlong waved his hand quickly: "I can't bear the word 'begging'. Master Xiao Fu, if you have something to do, just give me your orders."

Xiao Changqing waved his hand and immediately flew out from the storage bag a dozen bottles and jars, as well as many elixirs sealed in special boxes, and said: "I recently got a batch of elixirs and elixirs, but my knowledge is shallow. , I can’t distinguish its name and efficacy, so I would like to ask Master Zhu to help identify it.”

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

Zhu Youlong didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that what Xiao Changqing brought out were ordinary things.

result.

When he opened a bottle of elixir, he showed a look of surprise: "This is actually a true essence elixir? It's a second-level elixir! Foundation-building monks can increase their magic power after taking it. One pill can last for several months. Hard training! True Yuan Dan is not common in Nanshanfang..."

Xiao Changqing silently put away the jade bottle containing the True Yuan Dan.

Um.

nice one.

There are four true essence pills.

Zhu Youlong took the second elixir bottle and opened it. After identifying it for a moment, he scraped off a little bit of powder with his fingernails. After using magic power to catalyze it, he immediately turned pale with shock and threw it away. At the same time, he quickly capped the bottle and asked in shock: "Where did Master Xiao Fu get the 'Spirit Devouring Pill'? This is a second-level poisonous pill. If a foundation-building monk accidentally inhales it, his life may be in danger!"

"Accidental income, accidental income." Xiao Changqing put the bottle away with a smile.

This is also a good thing.

Even if you don't use it, if you sell it in the future, you can still get a better price.

After all, it is an elixir that can poison the foundation-building monks.

At this time, Zhu Youlong no longer had the relaxed mood before, and his expression became serious.

He began to realize that the things Xiao Changqing brought to him for identification today were not simple.

really.

After the remaining ten bottles of elixirs and elixirs were identified, the shock on Zhu Youlong's face never stopped, and he was already numb afterwards.

This is definitely not an accident!

He was almost certain that Xiao Changqing had looted all the belongings of a foundation-building monk!

He is not an ordinary weak foundation-building monk.

Most of them are in the middle stage of foundation building or above, and they are also evil cultivators!

Where did Xiao Changqing go to plunder the evil cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhu Youlong's mind, and he thought of the major events that happened in Nanshanfang a few days ago. The head of the Cao family killed the evil cultivator who sneaked in...

However, how could the trophies of the evil cultivators killed by the Cao family’s head fall on Master Xiao Fu?

Unless... the one who killed the evil cultivator was not the head of the Cao family, but the Xiao Fu Master in front of him! The news coming out of the Cao family is false! !

Thinking of this possibility, the shock in Zhu Youlong's eyes became even stronger.

Just two months after foundation building, killing evil cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, is this too outrageous? !

But other than that, he couldn't think of any other possibilities.

After thinking about various possibilities, Zhu Youlong finally plucked up the courage and asked in a roundabout way: "Master Xiao Fu, it's not easy for you to get so many second-level elixirs and second-level elixirs..."

Xiao Changqing smiled and said with some curiosity: "Master Zhu Alchemy is a first-level alchemist, but he knows all kinds of second-level elixirs. It's not easy."

Zhu Youlong didn't hide it. He had the intention in this regard, so he nodded and admitted: "To be honest, the skills I have inherited are quite good, and they are inherited by a third-level alchemist. It's a pity that my talent is too poor, and I will only be able to waste my whole life." The first-level top-grade is a complete disgrace to this inheritance.”

"The inheritance of the third-level alchemy master?" Xiao Changqing was surprised when he heard this.

The inheritance of a third-level alchemy master is no less valuable than a third-level magic weapon!

Even worse!

Just when Xiao Changqing was curious, Zhu Youlong suddenly said with great sincerity: "Master Xiao Fu, if you are interested in this alchemy inheritance, I can pass it on to you. I only need Master Xiao to do me a favor, and I will give it to you after the matter is completed." Thank you very much!”
