Start from the Martial Arts

"Is this Gang Jin?! It can't even hold a medium-grade defensive weapon?!"

Fang Xiu was surprised and happy.

The power unleashed by Gang Jin is no less powerful than that used by monks in the late stage of Qi refining using high-grade magic weapons.

Moreover, even in the later stage of Qi refining, I am afraid that it is impossible to cause cracks in a high-quality defensive magic weapon like the Bishui Bowl with one blow.

Fang Xiu can feel the swell of energy lurking deep in the tiny cells in every part of his body!

A huge translucent fist mark flew out, and with a "pop!" sound, a large hole the size of a lantern was left on the gray stone floor. The fist mark in the center of the hole was several feet deep.

"Zhizhi!" The wind rat lying on the ground was so frightened that he ejected and rushed to the roof, trembling.

"This is Gang Jin!"

The Gang Jin was activated very quickly, and as soon as the thought turned around, it was condensed.

Unlike Danjin, you usually need to build up momentum in the Dantian.

Gang Jin is latent in every part of the body including muscles, bones, internal organs and so on.

When not in use, Gang Jin is sharpening and warming the body. Once it explodes, it is extremely powerful.

"No wonder this time, one breath has added ten years to one's lifespan. A martial artist with external skills who has reached the visceral refining stage will probably live longer than an immortal cultivator in the qi refining stage."

Fang Xiu suddenly realized.

The maximum lifespan of a cultivator during the Qi-refining period is two decades. However, due to factors such as cultivation techniques, living environment, injuries from fighting, etc., a hundred years of life for a cultivator during the Qi-refining period is considered a long life.

Because external martial arts warriors practice strength, they need to squeeze the body's potential in order to achieve quick success. Their energy and blood decline early, and their life span is generally lower than that of internal martial arts warriors of the same level, let alone those who cultivate immortality.

At this moment, Fang Xiu discovered that Gang Jin was extremely domineering and at the same time, it was like a spring rain, blending into the flesh, bones, and internal organs.

No matter what kind of hidden injury, it can be found through Gangjin and slowly restored.

"The power of Gang Jin is much stronger than I imagined! It is estimated that a medium-grade spiritual tool is needed to bear the full power of Gang Jin."

Today's Gang Jin is so strong!

If you can hold a middle-grade spiritual tool, except for those who have perfected Qi refining like Cheng Ziyi, you will not have the confidence to fight against any late-stage Qi refining monks.

At night.

Fang Xiu left the inner city.

Go to the woods behind the shanty town.

Fang Xiu flashed and moved in the forest. Every time he stepped on the ground, a small hole would explode in the mud.

His body shot out like a cannonball and returned like a shuttle.

"Sixty meters per second!!"

Fang Xiu's eyes were full of excitement.

If the most powerful defensive spell in the Qi refining period is the Golden Bell Technique, then the Little Thunder Bomb is the strongest offensive spell in the Qi refining period.

The flying speed of the small thunder bomb is extremely fast, the maximum attack distance is sixteen feet, and the damage range is one foot in radius.

His speed even exceeded that of Xiao Lei Dan.

The next day.

After Fang Xiu adapted to the changes in his body, he went to Zhenbao Pavilion.

He is preparing to forge a medium-grade spiritual tool with thunder attributes.

At the very least, two mid-grade thunder stones must be prepared.

Wind, ice, and thunder are among the three wonders.

Sanqi spiritual roots are mutated spiritual roots produced by the combination of the five elements of spiritual roots, which are very rare.

Similarly, spiritual stones with three strange attributes are also rarer.

A medium-grade spirit stone from the Five Elements can be exchanged for an estimated one hundred and ten low-grade spirit stones.

Sanqi's middle-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for at least one hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones, or even one hundred and thirty yuan.

Two middle-grade thunder stones, one for forging and one for inlaying in spiritual tools.

Of course, it is best to use spiritual materials with thunder attributes to forge spiritual tools.

However, the thunder attribute is relatively rare among the three wonders.

Among the first-level monsters, a few that contain thunder-attribute bloodline are first-level high-grade ones.

For example, the Thunder Falcon in the Broken Soul Mountain Range not only flies very fast, but also can shoot small thunder bombs.

"Fellow Daoist Fang wants to exchange for the middle grade Thunder Spirit Stone?"

Yan Shou couldn't help but look surprised when he heard that Fang Xiu wanted to exchange for a middle-grade spiritual stone.

"Yes, I wonder how many pieces you have? I need to exchange at least two pieces." Fang Xiu nodded.

"Let me check the inventory." Hearing this, Yan Shou took out a jade slip from his storage bag and placed it between his eyebrows.

Not long after, he put down the jade slip and said, "There are still ten middle-grade thunder stones in the warehouse.

However, Senior Brother Wei wants to refine a top-grade magical weapon, so he must keep at least six medium-grade thunder stones.

Fellow Daoist Fang can exchange up to four yuan, but the price is up to 10% off. "

Hearing this, Fang Xiu felt slightly satisfied: "Isn't it that what Shopkeeper Wei wants to refine is a top-notch fire-attribute magic weapon? Why do we need the Thunder Spirit Stone?"

That piece of red star iron embryo is the main material used by Wei Jiang to refine the best magic weapon.

It is extremely difficult for Qi refining monks to refine the best magical weapons.

If Wei Jiang refines the best magic weapon, then he will be a second-level weapon refiner, with a status comparable to that of a foundation-building monk.

You can obtain a Foundation Building Pill directly from the Taiqing Sword Sect.

“A few days ago, a late-stage Qi Refining monk sent a thunder falcon and entrusted Senior Brother Wei to refine a high-grade magic weapon.

After Brother Wei refines it, the remaining materials belong to him.

He left behind the Thunder Falcon's eyeball and a pair of wings.

Prepare to merge into the Red Star Iron to refine the ultimate magic weapon, the Thunder Fire Sword. ’

Yan Shou explained.

"Thunder Fire Sword?" Fang Xiu's eyes narrowed. Among the five elements, the fire attribute has the strongest attack power. Among the three strange things, the thunder attribute has the strongest attack power.

If the two attributes are combined, this top-quality magic weapon will definitely become a fine product with amazing power.

"Give me four middle-grade thunder stones in exchange."

"Okay. The exchange ratio for medium-grade thunder spirit stones is one to one hundred and twenty-five. If you give it a 10% discount... it's four hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones." Yan Shou responded.

Fang Xiu took out the low-grade spirit stones and placed them on the counter, replaced them with four blue-white medium-grade thunder stones, and then left the Treasure Pavilion.

He walked into a deserted alley, disguised himself as Li Shan, turned his mana fluctuations into 70% refining energy, and headed to Bao Dan Residence on another street.

As soon as Fang Xiu walked into Baodanju, Wu Tian behind the counter saw that it was him and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey! It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li. I haven't seen you for a few days."

In order to buy the longevity pills and purple condensation pills with the money, Fang Xiu has not gone to Baodan Residence to buy pills to improve his cultivation for several months, and he has indeed saved a lot of spiritual stones.

"I've been busy hunting monsters lately, and I've been out in the wild." Fang Xiu bowed his hand and found an excuse.

Wu Tian felt the fluctuation of Fang Xiu's mana and looked surprised.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Li has gained a lot from entering. Wu would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Li for entering the later stage of Qi refining."

"It was just a lucky break." Fang Xiu smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Li is being too modest. You have broken through the late stage of Qi refining at your age. If you can reach the peak of Qi refining before the age of sixty, you will be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill by then. It is a great hope!"

Wu Tian complimented.

"How can the Foundation Establishment Pill be so easy to get!" Fang Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he wasn't completely pretending.

The market price of the Foundation Establishment Pill is 6,000 yuan per spiritual stone, but someone has to sell it.

An authentic Foundation Establishment Pill will only appear in the auction in Anpingfang City every twenty years.

Most of these foundation-building pills come from the Danxia Sect, so they naturally give priority to the disciples of this sect.

Even if there is excess, it is mostly digested internally and rarely flows out.

Danxia Sect is one of the three major sects in Qian Kingdom.

Qian Kingdom ranks fourth among the seven major cultivation countries in Yunzhou's immortal world, and is located in the middle.

Danxia Sect, Taiqing Sword Sect, and Hehuan Sect each have a Nascent Soul True Lord.

However, Danxia Sect is famous in the entire Yunzhou immortal world by virtue of its alchemy skills.

Because the Yuanying True Lord of the Danxia Sect is a fourth-level alchemy master.

"Ten years from now, the ancestors of our sect will personally refine the Foundation Establishment Pills. There will definitely be a surplus of genuine Foundation Establishment Pills, and maybe two more will be sent to Anpingfang City for auction. With the financial resources of fellow Taoist Li, there will be a surplus of genuine Foundation Establishment Pills by then. I really hope I can take it," Wu Tian reminded.

Ancestor Danxia’s lower level spiritual roots achieve the Yuanying Avenue.

In the entire history of the Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation World in the past three thousand years, except for him, the other Nascent Soul Lords, at worst, all had high-grade spiritual roots to achieve enlightenment, and most of them had earthly spiritual roots.

Ancestor Danxia sympathizes with the difficulty of low-level monks in seeking enlightenment, so every sixty years he personally refines a batch of foundation-building pills.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is only a second-level low-grade elixir, but the difficulty of refining it is not low.

If you don't refine it regularly, even a third-level alchemy master can only guarantee a basic success rate.

However, for a fourth-level alchemy master, it was a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts.

Every sixty years, Taiqing Sword Sect and Hehuan Sect would entrust Ancestor Danxia to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, just to obtain more genuine Foundation Establishment Pills.

"I hope so." Fang Xiu nodded.

It shouldn't be a problem to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining in ten years.

However, the genuine Foundation Establishment Pill can only increase a monk's breakthrough success rate by 20%, and the power of the medicine cannot be superimposed.

Mid-grade spiritual roots increase the breakthrough success rate by an additional 10%.

Even if some techniques that are helpful for breaking through the realm are added, the success rate is less than 40%, which is very risky.

It is best to practice the three-striped green wood dharma body first and upgrade the spiritual root to the upper level.

When the time comes to take the authentic Foundation Building Pill, the success rate is guaranteed to be 60%, so it is difficult to fail.

"Foundation Building Pills are rare, but Huanglong Pills are easy to get. Recently, another batch of high-quality Huanglong Pills have arrived in our store. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li is interested?" Wu Tian changed the subject.

"This...I am indeed interested." Fang Xiu responded.

"But we have to wait until I take the second-level longevity pill. I don't know what shopkeeper Wu promised me..."

Wu Tian heard this and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, our store will do its best to meet the requirements of our distinguished customers, not to mention that you paid a deposit. The second-level longevity pill will arrive next month!

In addition, this auction also includes three Zi Ning Dan for breaking levels in the later stage of Qi refining, and... ． An inferior foundation-building pill! "

"Bad Foundation Building Pill!" Fang Xiu's eyes narrowed.

Inferior foundation-building pills have more impurities and can only increase the success rate of breaking through the foundation-building pill by 10%.

If you succeed in building a foundation by taking inferior foundation-building pills, you will be affected by erysipelas, your mana will be mixed, and it will take a long time to purify your mana.

However, for casual cultivators, even inferior foundation-building pills will overwhelm them.

Even among the disciples of large sects, there are only a few who can obtain inferior foundation-building pills.

The ultimate lifespan of a foundation-building monk is four decades, and he can normally live to be two hundred years old. His strength and status are not comparable to those of a Qi-refining monk.

The vast majority of immortal cultivators have never had the extravagant hope of building a foundation pill. Foundation building is the ultimate goal, so there is no right to think that a foundation building pill is inferior.

In particular, inferior quality foundation-building pills are much cheaper, and the transaction price is generally only about half of the genuine ones.

"It seems that there will be fewer monks competing with me for the second-level longevity pill this time.'

Fang Xiu thought about it and felt relieved.

The Foundation Establishment Pill will definitely attract the attention of most casual cultivators.

With limited spiritual stones, everyone should give priority to bidding for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"The starting price for the second-level life-extending pill this time is one thousand four hundred spirit stones. Wu is here to wish fellow Daoist Li in advance that he can bid for the second-level life-extending pill at the lowest price."

Wu Tian said with a smile.

"Then let me borrow your auspicious words from fellow Taoist Wu." Fang Xiu handed over his hand.

"By the way, if Fellow Daoist Li is also interested in the Foundation Establishment Pill, you'd better prepare more spiritual stones in advance."

Wu Tian added, taking out a bronze token from the storage bag.

"This is the token for participating in the auction, please keep it for Fellow Daoist Li."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu." Fang Xiu put away the token and bowed: "I'm leaving."

"Fellow Daoist Li, take care."

Wu Tian sent Fang Xiu out the door, and smiled as he looked at Fang Xiu's departing back.

A month passed quickly.

Fang Xiu used this month to successfully forge the shape of the middle-grade spiritual tool "Golden Thunder Sword".

It only takes another ten days and a half months of forging, and this spiritual tool can be used.

Although there is no thunder attribute material, two middle-grade thunder spirit stones are added to the Golden Thunder Sword, and the sharp teeth of the saber-toothed demon tiger are used as the main material.

Therefore, the sword body is extremely tough and sharp.

"The auction will be held tomorrow, and my goal is to bid for a second-level longevity pill and a purple condensation pill... "

Fang Xiu took out the storage bag containing the spirit stones.

There were 2,200 low-grade spirit stones in it.

Of Fei Kang's 16 mid-grade spirit stones, he only used one mid-grade wood spirit stone, leaving 15.

Except for the two wood spirit stones, the other 13 mid-grade spirit stones could be used.

The budget was sufficient.
