The Path to Immortality

No purple light this time.

Inside the treasure box, there is a dark yellow ginseng that exudes a fragrant medicinal fragrance, is as thick as a child's arm, and has roots curled like dragon whiskers!

It is exactly what the classics describe as the appearance of dragon ginseng among the three main ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill!

Judging from the unusually strong medicinal power, this Hualong Ginseng is probably more than two hundred years old, at least several decades more!

It is more than enough to refine the Foundation Building Pill.

Looking at this elixir that was not expected but gave him a great surprise, Fang Ping didn't look away for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing loudly.

"I have been practicing for more than twenty years, and now I can say that I have finally achieved my goal!"

After a while, Fang Ping calmed down from the joy of gathering all the main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He put away the Hualong Ginseng and turned to look at the trophies of the great uncle of the Xu family.

The monk who died under the Taixu Sword Talisman instead of being killed by the Talisman was able to retain the magic weapon on his body to the maximum extent.

Among them, the one with the best quality is undoubtedly the top-quality magical weapon [Blood Bat Wing] used by the opponent when he was chasing him.

This magical weapon, as light as a cicada's wings, can double the speed of a monk. It can also be used as a flying magical weapon. It is extremely practical whether it is for hunting or escaping.

Beside the Blood Bat Wing, Fang Ping also found the pure Yang gas bottle that the other party had used, as well as several other magical weapons.

The value of all these magical weapons is enough to make a late-stage Qi-training monk become rich overnight and transform his combat power.

However……

"Although the magical weapons are good, we can't keep any of them."

Looking at the blood bat wing and all the other magic weapons belonging to the Xu family, Fang Ping's eyes flashed with regret, but he still resolutely threw them aside and prepared to focus on destroying them later.

The Xu family is the foundation-building family within the sect, and it is completely different from the disciples of the small sect and the lone Jie cultivator that Fang Ping once killed.

As far as Fang Ping knew, the magical weapons equipped by the children of similar families might have some secret symbols.

Most of these secret marks are already integrated into the markings during the forging of the magical weapon. Unless they are specialized weapon refiners or foundation-building monks who can release their spiritual consciousness, it is extremely difficult for others to detect it, let alone erase it easily.

Not to mention that Fang Ping has not established the foundation yet, even if he succeeds in establishing the foundation immediately after returning, he is not willing to confront the entire Xu family because of some external things.

When it comes to his own path and life, Fang Ping cannot take any chances.

In addition to the magical artifact, Fang Ping also found an exquisite rosewood box in Uncle Xu's storage bag.

After breaking the restriction above, Fang Ping saw a spiritual fruit that exuded a strange aroma and looked a bit like a guava in the wooden box.

This spirit fruit, like the soul-condensing dew that Fang Ping found not long ago, exudes a certain mysterious aroma that is desirable.

However, Soul Condensing Dew acts on the divine soul.

But this spiritual fruit made Fang Ping's body and mind feel an uncontrollable desire from the inside out.

"What kind of spiritual fruit is this?"

With Fang Ping's current alchemy attainments, he was slightly surprised that he could not recognize the origin of this kind of spiritual fruit at first glance.

Just when he picked up the spirit fruit and prepared to examine it carefully, Fang Ping noticed that there was a pill recipe placed under the spirit fruit and at the bottom of the box.

[Real Pill]!

This name made Fang Ping feel a little shocked.

He quickly browsed the contents of the prescription and the notes in it, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"It is actually the rarest among many first-level elixirs, a life-extending elixir that is comparable to the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

The Huanzhen Pill is a pill that has been handed down since ancient times and is ranked among the first-level middle-grade pills.

After taking it, depending on the quality of the elixir and the monk's own condition, the life span can be extended by five to ten years.

The main ingredient of this elixir is a rare spiritual fruit that has the same life-extending effect when swallowed directly - [Shouhuan Guo].

"It seems that this strange spiritual fruit is the longevity fruit needed to refine the rejuvenation pill!"

After accidentally getting Hualong Ginseng, Fang Ping thought that his mood was strong enough to withstand any impact.

But the appearance of the longevity fruit and the rejuvenating elixir made him feel ups and downs again.

I didn't expect that Uncle Xu was really capable and could even obtain such a treasure.

However, since the longevity fruit is also effective if eaten directly, why did Uncle Xu keep it and not use it, so that it would benefit himself in the end?

Not long after this doubt arose, Fang Ping recalled a few descriptions from the Alchemy classics he had read, and he understood it clearly.

It turns out that birth, old age, illness and death are the natural cycle of reincarnation, and living beings cannot disobey it.

But Dao Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and one of them escapes. This escaped one is the glimmer of hope left by heaven and earth to living beings.

Therefore, the way of heaven in this world has its own limitations.

Any life-extending elixirs, including life-extending elixirs containing such elixirs, are only effective when taken for the first time, and taking more than once will be of no benefit.

Huazhendan is no exception.

Compared with the Huanzhen Pill, which can extend life by five to ten years, the effect of swallowing the Huanzhen Fruit directly is much worse. It can only extend life by five years at most, which is equivalent to the lower limit of the elixir.

In order to have a chance to live for a few more years when he could only eat it once, he would probably have to think about refining the longevity fruit into a rejuvenating elixir.

However, from the point of view of the elixir recipe, in order to refine the true elixir, in addition to the main ingredients, a variety of century-old elixirs are also needed.

With Uncle Xu's strength and identity, as long as he is willing to spend the spiritual stones, he still has a chance to collect these century-old elixirs. But the key is that among the several hundred-year-old elixirs required, there is an auxiliary material that is now very rare.

That is [Housutuzhi].

This kind of spiritual medicine was quite common in ancient times. But in the past few thousand years, it has become increasingly rare, and can only be found in some ancient ruins, ancient monks' caves and medicine gardens.

For example, the Liyuan Palace forbidden area that will be opened in twenty years!

"At Uncle Xu's age, if he is lucky, he may be able to survive until then." Fang Ping thought to himself.

As for what he will choose after getting this spiritual fruit and pill formula...

Even if he does not say that he can enjoy a lifespan of 200 years after building the foundation, but calculates it based on the lifespan of a Qi training monk of 100 years, Fang Ping is only over 40 years old now, and his lifespan is not even halfway through, so he does not urgently need things to prolong his life.

Uncle Xu was not willing to waste the gifts of nature, so he would certainly not waste them.

He must try to collect Hou Tuzhi and then refine the Huanzhen Pill.

"Who said that the world of cultivation is cold and heartless? Taoist Tianluo, Taoist Baihe, Xu Chongdao, Uncle Xu and others are all kind-hearted people who are cold on the outside but warm on the inside!"

It can be seen from this that rumors should not be believed!

Fang Ping was deeply moved. After a while, he put the longevity fruit and the recipe into his pocket.

With this surprise in front of him, there is no need to elaborate on the other props such as spirit stones, pills, and talismans in Uncle Xu's storage bag.

For Fang Ping now, hundreds or thousands of spirit stones are just a number and are insignificant.

Only the level of gains that swept the Black Water Sect or the Falling Moon Island can bring him a big enough improvement.

Among the three people in the Xu family, the last one to be counted by Fang Ping was Xu Xiuran's storage bag.

In this person's storage bag, Fang Ping found the familiar Qi Training Chapter of [Purple Yang Sutra].

However, he could recite the content of the exercises by heart, so it was meaningless to have another chapter.

For the purpose of verification, Fang Ping read through it quickly, confirmed that it was the same as the one he exchanged, and then destroyed the jade slip.

Compared with Xu Chongdao and Uncle Xu, Xu Xiuran's storage bag seemed much shabby.

But it was not without gain.

Among them, the most important one was a magic pill he had seen in the outer sect competition.

[Purple Yang Pill]!

After swallowing, it can increase the success rate of foundation building by 10%!
