The Path to Immortality

Liu Wuchen raised three fingers and started talking.

"First, by cooperating with the Luoyang Sect's vassal forces or monk families who are good at alchemy, and becoming their guests and worshipers, you can naturally get part of the alchemy inheritance."

"Second, try your luck at auctions in large markets."

"Some large-scale markets in the Liang Kingdom will hold auctions from time to time, and occasionally the first-level inheritance of immortal cultivation and foundation-building pills will flow out. In the past hundred years, it is said that even the second-level inheritance has appeared, and was eventually sold to the first level. A golden elixir monk won it."

"Of course, if you want to auction the Alchemy inheritance, it depends on your luck, and the price will definitely not be cheap."

"As for the third one, it's to look for the caves of some deceased monks, or the ruins of the destroyed Alchemy Sect. If you're lucky, you might be able to find something."

He thought for a while and gave an example: "For example, as far as I know, Taoist Huo Gong, a foundation-building Dzogchen monk who was active in the Liang Kingdom two hundred years ago, is proficient in alchemy. It is said that he has touched the threshold of a second-level alchemy master. Unfortunately, his attempt to advance to the Golden Core failed, and there has been no trace of him since. No one knows where his cave was when he retreated to attack the Golden Core."

"If you can find the Taoist Taoist's cave, you will most likely be able to obtain the alchemy inheritance he left behind."

Auctions in the market.

The cave of the senior monks!

Fang Ping has actually considered these two approaches.

He asked again: "Senior brother, can you recommend something about the Fangshi auction?"

Liu Wuchen recalled for a moment and said: "As far as I know, there will be an auction in Luoyunfang, which is closest to our sect, half a year from now. It will be hosted by the monks from Duobao Pavilion. The threshold is quite high for admission. It costs ten spirit stones, but I don’t know if there is any alchemy inheritance you want.”

Then, he added: "As for other auctions in Dafang City, I can ask other senior brothers to help you ask. I will send someone to inform you when I have accurate information."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu!"

………

Yunyang Peak Cave Mansion.

Just after attending Yan Xu's festive and lively Double Cultivation Ceremony, he returned to the lonely and cold cave in the blink of an eye. It was impossible to say that he had no ideas at all.

However, when he thought of the rumor that could slightly increase the success rate of foundation building, Fang Ping forcibly calmed down.

"The road is ahead, why rush now? There will be plenty of time after the foundation is established!"

He poured himself a cup of herbal tea and drank it slowly. As his mind regained his composure, he swallowed a Peiyuan Pill and began to practice the Ziyang Sutra again, heading towards the later stage of Qi training that was just around the corner.

However, once the previous five years of seclusion is broken, it will be a bit difficult to return to the original state of mind.

And the mundane events that happened one after another had some impact on him.

The first is that the chore tasks for the new year have arrived again.

After traveling for half a month and slaying all the two demonic beasts assigned to cause trouble in the Liang Kingdom, Fang Ping returned to his sect after a long journey.

As a result, just two days after returning, Liu Wuchen, who had gone out to explore the cave of the foundation-building monks, returned safely and sent a messenger talisman to Fang Ping, briefly explaining what happened in the cave.

Although the other party's words were relatively concise and did not mention his gains clearly, from the high-spiritedness between the lines, it can be judged that this exploration of the cave must have gained a lot of benefits.

In response, Fang Ping naturally responded with a messenger in time and sent his congratulations.

As for any regrets, I don't have any.

This operation was a fairly reliable exploration, and it was expected that it would be fruitful.

Fang Ping knew in his heart that with Yuan Ding around, he had no shortage of ordinary cultivation resources. For this reason, it doesn't matter even if you are a little reluctant and miss a little opportunity.

When you are sitting on a cornucopia, why should you care about a few pieces of gold and silver elsewhere?

He just needs to practice step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

A few days later, in the spiritual field outside the cave, the first batch of five-year-old spiritual grass plants finally reached maturity.

It has roots like dragons and snakes entwining it, and each root contains Polygonatum japonica with strong vitality.

There are jackdaw grass leaves that exude an aura like cold smoke and can be used to refine a variety of low- and medium-grade basic elixirs.

There are also the soil pear fruits buried deep under the spiritual field, and the moonflower grass that can absorb moonlight at night and help monks cleanse their meridians and improve their cultivation...

The rich spiritual power and medicinal fragrance attracted many wild beasts and spiritual birds on Yunyang Peak.

Even if Fang Ping specially sets up a few simple restrictions around the spiritual field, there will still be some fish that slip through the net.

For this reason, Cheng Guan, the spiritual husband, has been busy this week.

Fortunately, five years of hard work has not been in vain, and finally it has paid off.

It took half a day, and even Fang Ping personally helped, and the two of them finished harvesting all the spiritual herbs by category.

The sect does not have strict restrictions on the spiritual herbs grown by the disciples within the sect and allows the disciples to handle it on their own.

But if the disciple is willing to sell to the sect, then the sect will naturally be happy to see it happen.

However, the purchase price offered by the sect is slightly lower than that of the shops in Fangshi. Most monks would definitely choose to deal with it in the market.

Fang Ping didn't stand out. He brought a storage bag full of spiritual herbs and elixirs to Luoyunfang, split it into six or seven parts, and then threw it away.

Since the quality of the spiritual grass grown by Cheng Guan was indeed very good, the final profit was slightly higher than Fang Ping expected, earning hundreds of spiritual stones.

This is only a quarter of the harvest from the two large spiritual fields!

"This is why the outer disciples are trying so hard to join the inner sect."

Looking at the spiritual stones in the storage bag, Fang Ping had a clearer understanding of the hidden benefits of the inner disciples.

Returning to the cave from the market, facing Cheng Guan who wanted to come forward but was a little hesitant, Fang Ping generously invited him.

He directly awarded him 30 spiritual stones, which was slightly higher than the agreed half!

This was a generous reward for Cheng Guan, which made him blush and full of energy. After thanking Fang Ping, he turned around and rushed to the spiritual field that had just been harvested and began to replant a new batch of spiritual herbs.

"Work hard!"

If the spiritual plant husband doesn't work hard, how can the owner of the spiritual field get spiritual stones to exchange for high-quality magic tools?

After encouraging Cheng Guan a few words, Fang Ping returned to the cave.

This time when he went to the market to sell spiritual herbs, he saw the promotion of the Luoyunfang auction. Although it was not specified, it did mention that the items in this auction included a certain inheritance of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

In this case, Fang Ping decided to participate in the Luoyunfang auction in a few months.

Considering that he had spent 1,500 spirit stones to buy the [Jiang Family Alchemy Secret Record], the price of a true first-level alchemy inheritance would definitely be more expensive.

Regardless of whether there would be any by then, it would always be a good idea to prepare more spirit stones.

"Yuan Ding, start!"

He started the high-speed alchemy mode again.

Spirit stones?

In the eyes of an alchemist with superb alchemy skills, it's just a number.

As many as you want, you can get as much as you want from the alchemy furnace!
