Mortal Cultivator

Seeing the two people leaving, the old man Wang Lu transformed into was a little embarrassed. Several people seemed to ignore him. They looked at the crying girl squatting on the ground and were speechless for a moment.

He immediately stood up, walked to the girl's side, and said softly like an old-timer: "Little baby, stop crying."

"What little baby? I made your mask, why are you pretending to be an old man?

Wang Lu was embarrassed on the spot for a moment. Well, his disguise was made by someone else. He sat back on the futon in embarrassment and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the atmosphere did not last long, and the two people who left came back.

"Miss Shui, you can live on the top floor of Wanbao Pavilion from now on." Huo Qi said when he came back, as if he had reached a deal.

"Thank you, senior Huo. I was rude just now." The girl stood up and thanked him, wiping away her tears.

"Ling'er, grandpa will return to his clan first. You can practice well here." After the long-bearded old man said that, he turned and left. His back showed the vicissitudes of life, like a dead tree in winter. The only difference is that a dead tree cannot bloom with spring.

The girl also walked out, and there were only Huo Qi and Wang Lu in the secret room.

After the door was closed, Huo Qi threw a storage bag on the chessboard and chuckled: "This is my reward for you."

Wang Lu was a little confused. He took the storage bag and looked into it. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Ten foundation building pill materials! ?

"Senior Huo, is this too expensive? Do you have anything else you need me to do?" Even so, Wang Lu still collected the materials first.

"Ahem, it's nothing. I just see that you have a good talent for alchemy. If I fail to form an elixir in the future or I hope to condense the Nascent Soul, I will still need you. Isn't this to please you first?"

"Ah?...Senior Huo is joking. Why do I need Senior Huo to please you?" Wang Lu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, stop pretending and go and refine your Foundation Establishment Pill. If it hadn't been for the Shui family's disaster this time, the materials for this Foundation Establishment Pill would have been really difficult to obtain."

"Thank you, senior. By the way, senior, why didn't the ancestor of the Shui family buy a ticket to go to Yunshangtian? Does he really want to stay and guard the Shui family?"

"he?"

"Oh, you may not know that Shuiyun's life is not long ago. He has lived for more than a thousand years and has used up all the life-extending things he should use. Although he has cultivated to the point where he has perfected the pill formation, he has only a few days left. One year's life is gone, but even if the headquarters' acquired Lingbao spaceship flies to the sky, it will last 30 years!" Huo Qi gestured.

"Ah? 30 years! Then senior, don't you have to be about to die before you can form an elixir?" Wang Lu was very puzzled when he heard this.

Huo Qi's face darkened, "Don't I have something to extend my life? You really think I only have a life span of 300 years. I have taken a five-color Ganoderma lucidum, and my life span has reached 400 years. It is almost certain that the pill will be formed."

Huo Qi felt a bit proud as he spoke, shook his head and stroked his beard and continued:

"Although this Blackwater Mountain Range is a small place, there are still many treasures. I got the colorful Ganoderma lucidum from that ancient cave, but there is a Qingfengliu in that ancient cave that is very evil. Its power is terrifying, and I can't even take it. This move requires the Wind Spirit Root monk to cast a wind spell to deceive it, but this thing will remember the breath of the person who cast it. I have already deceived it once, so I came to you..."

After chatting for a while, Wang Lu returned to Wang's Dan Pavilion.

Taking out the foundation-building medicinal materials, Wang Lu looked at the seeds on them in surprise.

Because usually precious medicinal seeds would be left behind, but this time there was no shortage at all.

"It seems that the Shui family attaches great importance to Senior Huo's transaction..."

He carefully kept all the seeds, then opened the formation in the house and started refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He took out the alchemy furnace and took out pieces of fifth-level spiritual wood that were 500 years old.

"boom--!"

A ball of spiritual fire was shot out, and the fifth-level spiritual wood instantly burned with blazing flames. The blazing flames quickly raised the temperature of the alchemy furnace.

Wang Lu's consciousness penetrated the bottom fire, and the blazing flames immediately caused his consciousness to tremble. The difficulty of controlling it was much more difficult than that of the fourth-level spirit tree. Fortunately, his consciousness itself was powerful, and with the blessing of the black beads, it was Not afraid.

One by one, the medicinal materials were thrown into the alchemy furnace and soon turned into liquid medicine. Wang Lu's spiritual consciousness turned into two strands. One controlled the slow rotation of the liquid in the furnace, and the other controlled the flame of the spiritual wood. A quarter of an hour passed. , Wang Lu is already a little weak in spiritual power.

He quickly swallowed a bottle of elixir to restore spiritual power, then waved his hand and took out hundreds of spiritual stones and spread them around.

"I didn't expect that this Foundation Building Pill would be more difficult to refine than the sixth-grade Yuan Yuan Return Pill."

Wang Lu struggled to control the flames and found that the elixir for breaking through the realm was much more difficult to refine than the elixir for restoring spiritual power like the Huiyuan Dan because of its strong medicinal properties.

Fortunately, his consciousness is comparable to building a foundation, otherwise the furnace would have exploded long ago.

Exploding the Foundation Establishment Pill furnace will not be as ordinary as the first time he exploded the furnace. I am afraid that the entire back cabinet will be razed to the ground.

Two hours passed, and Wang Lu finally finished refining it.

"rise!"

The furnace lid was opened, and 6 low-grade foundation-building pills flew out. Wang Lu was not discouraged. He was different from ordinary people. As long as he became familiar with the refining of this foundation-building pill, he was confident that he could improve its quality by leaps and bounds.

After finishing this furnace, Wang Lu did not continue to refine it. With his current strength of consciousness, it would not be a problem to refine more than ten furnaces a day.

But this time Wang Lu carefully deduced the steps of the alchemy just now. He couldn't be careless about the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although he had saved the seeds, they would not be able to grow well in a short time.

After a day passed, Wang Lu began to continue refining.

This furnace reached 90% of the top grade, and one pill was of medium grade.

Wang Lu began to stop the alchemy deduction steps again.

…

Eight days later, Wang Lu refined 100 foundation-building pills with 10 materials, 80% of which were of the best grade. If the first two furnaces were not a bit unfamiliar, I am afraid that even the other 20% would be of the best grade.

If others knew about the success rate and quality of the pills, I am afraid that someone would dismember him for inspection, so even Huo Qi did not know Wang Lu's true talent, because Wang Lu only sold pills below the best grade.

"Dong! Dong!"

Wang Lu was immersed in the excitement of the upcoming foundation building, and someone knocked on the door suddenly.

He put on the mask and opened the door.

Outside the door, his hired servant stood respectfully.

"Master Wang, the ancestor of the Shui family will give a lecture in the central square tomorrow. The Shui family invited many people. This is your invitation." The servant said, handing over an invitation.

"Got it, leave." Wang Lu took the invitation and went back to the room.

On the second day, Wang Lu went to the central square early. The square was full of cultivators. They seemed to have received the news and handed the invitation to the guarding cultivator.

Wang Lu found a good seat and sat down. He was looking forward to it. In the past, he had only listened to the preaching of some foundation-building cultivators. He had never heard the preaching of Jindan Zhenren.

In just one stick of incense, the square was full of cultivators. They were all foundation-building cultivators. Some of them were even more difficult for Wang Lu to understand. They might have reached the state of perfection and were only one step away from Jindan.

As soon as the cultivators arrived, a beam of light flew in from the sky. When the light landed, it was an old man and a girl wearing a light veil. They were exactly the two people Wang Lu saw that day.

The old man sat on the central platform and said:

"I have been practicing for my whole life. Except for the difficult times in my early years, I killed irrelevant people. After that, I became successful in my practice and no one died in my hands for no reason. I can say that I have a clear conscience."

"Today! I, Shui Yun, will hold a discussion meeting. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I will answer them one by one. In seven days, I will return the Tao to heaven!"

"Ah, return the Tao to heaven!?"

The cultivators in the audience were shocked when they heard this. Returning the Tao means to scatter your life's cultivation in the world. If the cultivators present can practice here, they can get huge benefits. Everyone wondered why the ancestor of the Shui family did this. Many of the Shui family cultivators present knew it, and they all looked sad.

The preaching lasted for seven days. After seven days, the ancestor of the Shui family began to return the Tao.

Pure spiritual energy spread out in all directions, and the spiritual energy of the entire city was greatly enhanced. Everyone seized the opportunity to absorb the scattered spiritual energy, but this spiritual energy dissipated too quickly, most of it dissipated between heaven and earth, and only a small amount was absorbed by the cultivators.

This lasted for three days. After three days, the ancestor of the Shui family was like a monk sitting down, and there was no cultivation on him.

"This discussion ends here. I just hope that you can still take care of the Shui family in the future." Shuiyun Zhenren said with a hunched body, and then left the platform with the support of the girl next to him.

"Don't look at him, he still has 9 days to live." Huo Qi appeared beside Wang Lu and said.

"Senior Huo, this time the ancestor of the Shui family spread the Tao, you should have gained a lot."

"Hahaha, that's right, after this time, the probability of my success in forming a pill is one point higher." Huo Qi said with a smile.

"Okay, you have gained a lot from this discussion. Go build your foundation quickly. Once you build your foundation, you can explore the ancient cave ahead of time."

Wang Lu also said goodbye and left after hearing this. He ran all the way out of the city to the secular world before stopping. He chose an open snowy area with no people within a hundred miles.

Sitting cross-legged, Wang Lu began to enter a state of meditation. After a quarter of an hour, he entered the state of cultivation.

After adjusting well, he took out a foundation-building pill and swallowed it. The effect of the medicine was very fast. The spiritual energy ocean in the dantian began to liquefy. Everything went very smoothly. At this time, the black bead that had been hanging above the dantian also began to liquefy.
