Chapter 157: Layout, Counting Harvest, Breakthrough
Pingshan County.

Patriarch Ping in the secret room always felt uneasy and unable to calm down and recover from his injuries, so he simply came out and sat in the Soul Palace.

I do not know how long it has been.

Chief Ping suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind him.

Turn around and look.

But Ping Xingliu was looking at him with an apologetic look on his face:
“Fourth brother, you’re back!”

Patriarch Ping finally put his uneasy heart at ease.

Seeing Ping Xingliu looking remorseful.

Thinking that the other party failed to buy what he wanted, he laughed and said:
“The things in the ghost market are not unique in the world. As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy them. Come in quickly and don’t stand there like an idiot.”

Patriarch Ping stood up with a smile and took a few steps forward to pull Ping Xingliu into the hall.

just.

Just got close.

But a trickle of blood was seen oozing from between Ping Xingliu’s eyebrows.

Two lines of blood and tears flowed down.

Followed by.

A cold wind blew past, and everything in sight disappeared:
“Fourth brother!”

Chief Ping exclaimed.

When you open your eyes.

I found myself still sitting upright on the cushion.

Everything that just happened was just a dream.

Patriarch Ping suddenly looked up at the soul lamp on the altar, only to see that Ping Xingliu’s tablet trembled slightly, and the flame of the lamp went out with a puff.

Fourth brother is dead?

this.
How can this be? !
To be on the safe side, before his fourth brother set off, he gave the third-level talisman from his clan to his fourth brother.

The only ones who entered the ghost market were the three of them and the Yunteng tribe.

How could the fourth brother die? !
What on earth happened?!
After the death of the fourth brother, there were only two foundation-building cultivators left in the Heike clan, and both were seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

Chief Ping tried hard to suppress his fluctuating emotions and calm himself down as much as possible. At the same time, he quickly took out the communication jade talisman and typed a spell: “Yuntian, hurry up, go in the direction of Ghost Crying Ridge and check if there are any traces of fighting!”

The fourth one fell.

It is very likely that the Yunteng tribe has come to help.

The Cao family and the He family are allies, and it is absolutely impossible for them to rob each other when the three families are struggling.

When he was about to take out the jade talisman to contact the Cao family and the He family, the other two families sent him messages at the same time.

When they learned that this time they went to the Cao family, two foundation-building masters from the He family also died.

Patriarch Ping’s pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth and said:
“Brother He, Brother Cao, only our three families and the Yunteng tribe know about the Ghost Market. Xing Liu and the other two died in Ghost Crying Ridge. It was most likely the Yunteng tribe’s fault! The Yunteng tribe is really brave. They dared to take the initiative to provoke us. We must avenge them!”

“Brother Ping, I learned from a spy that the Yunteng tribe got two foundation-building medicines from somewhere. If we want to take action, we have to do it as soon as possible!”

Words coming from Patriarch Cao.

From their words, it was clear that the three families in the lead had already seen through the current situation of the Heike clan.

Patriarch Ping narrowed his eyes slightly:
“I will obey Brother Cao in everything!”

The three of them discussed for a while.

About a day or two passed.

Yuntian who went to Ghost Crying Ridge sent back a message:
“Master, Qiuya Mountain, about a hundred miles away from Ghost Crying Ridge, was set on fire.”

This look.

This is the Yunteng tribe’s style of doing things!
Chief Ping was immediately more convinced that the culprit was the Yunteng tribe.

Yunteng tribe.

Elder Kun returned from the ghost market.

Excitedly, he ran straight to the forbidden area in the back mountain. When the forbidden area was opened, a hot breath blew in his face, and layers of magic arrays opened, and a house of underground fire came into view.

In the House of Earthly Fire.

An old Taoist with a white beard was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Elder Kun glanced at the ten pill bottles placed on the broken string table, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and with a wave of his sleeves, he collected the full herbal box on the other side:
“Shu Tong, from today on, you don’t have to refine the Qiuyun Pill for the time being.”

talking.

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

An ancient jade slip slowly floated towards Yao Lao:
“This is the recipe for the foundation-building pill. Please study it carefully. I will send you a complete set of foundation-building elixir in half a year. This time, as long as you can successfully refine the foundation-building pill, our Yunteng tribe will set you free. You, Yue Niang, and Yaya can go wherever you want. However, if there is any problem with this furnace of foundation-building pills, Yaya may die young.”

Finished.

Elder Kun laughed and turned to leave.

Shi Shutong, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and a calculating look flashed across his eyes.

Yunshan County.

After Fu Changsheng returned to Taixuan Peak, he went straight into the secret room.

After opening the magic circle.

Turn your palms.

Ping Xingliu’s storage bag suddenly appeared in his palm.

This time we went to the ghost market.

He bought the red tobacco that could neutralize the Spirit Ape Wine as he wished, and also got the recipes for the Demon-Condensing Pill and the Ghost Cherry Pill, as well as a third-level alchemy notebook. It can be said that he had a fruitful harvest.

The moment a few items were taken out.

My mind trembled slightly.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in my mind:
“Ding”

“You bought the pure yang item red tobacco, a demon-condensing pill, the recipe for the ghost cherry pill, and the third-level alchemist’s notes for the clan, and received 500 contribution points.”

Followed by.

The contribution value on the panel instantly changed from four hundred and four to nine hundred and four.

Looking at the contribution value rising on the panel, Fu Changsheng smiled even more.

His eyes fell on the storage bag in his hand.

With a bit of excitement and excitement.

One shot storage bag.

Suddenly there was a flash of light.

Five or six boxes appeared before my eyes.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes immediately fell on the box with white background and wooden grain. He cast a spell, lifted the restriction, and a familiar sandalwood scent wafted to his face. He took a closer look and found that inside was the Soul-Condensing Incense that was sold for four thousand low-grade spirit stones in the ghost market.

He was a step late at that time.

Ping Xingliu snatched the Soul-Condensing Incense away first.

Now after many twists and turns, it finally falls into my hands.

Fu Changsheng’s mouth corners slightly raised!
With this thing.

When Molan breaks through to the peak of Qi training, he can try to break through to foundation building.

Once the foundation is successfully established.

Then the first condition for them to be promoted to a ninth-grade family has been met.

Just now.

The familiar mechanical voice came to my mind again:
“Ding”

“You bought a soul-condensing incense for the clan and received 350 contribution points.”

Followed by.

The contribution value on the panel changed to one thousand two hundred and fifty-four.

With the soul-condensing incense.

Fu Changsheng was already satisfied, so he didn’t have much expectation for the remaining boxes. He cast one spell after another, but found that in the box with a white background and grass pattern, there was a Martian grass emitting a hazy flame.

Mars grass is a second-grade inferior product, specifically used to treat cold poison.

If what you expected is correct.

It should be that the Heike clan’s foundation was poisoned by the cold in the devil’s cave.

He has no need for the Martian grass, but he can add it to the clan treasury.

The thought just came to mind.

The mechanical voice sounded again in my mind:
“Ding”

“You bought a second-level low-quality Mars grass for the clan, and received 60 contribution points.”

Followed by.

The value on the panel changed to one thousand three hundred and fourteen.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes fell on the pure white box. Although there were layers of restrictions in the box, he could still vaguely feel the abundant spiritual energy coming from it:
“What’s in here?”

Accompanied by a series of spells being cast.

After the ban is opened.

hum!
A burst of abundant spiritual energy came towards me.

Take a closer look.

But I saw a drop of emerald green spiritual liquid in the pill bottle in the box, and abundant spiritual energy and life breath were emanating from this spiritual liquid:
“This is.”

Fu Changsheng vaguely felt that this breath was somewhat familiar.

Suddenly.

Eyes suddenly widened.

He finally remembered where he had met him before.

He just waved his sleeves, and the Cloud Ring Purple Fairy Tower floated in front of him. As he cast a spell to enter the second floor of the pagoda, the tower door opened, and a force pulled the soul-eating insect out of the pagoda and floated in front of Fu Changsheng.

at this time.

The soul-eating insect lying in the ball of the mass also exuded a similar aura and breath of life:
“What exactly is this green spiritual fluid?”

Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but wonder.

I glanced at the pure white box again, and saw a line of small characters engraved in ancient Chinese on the bottom of the box:
“Life source water, one drop can increase the age of spiritual plants by 500 years!”

this.
Fu Changsheng was a little bit unbelievable.

After reading it several times and confirming that it was written as 500 years, I was really shocked and murmured:
“This noble family actually has such a magical thing. One drop can give birth to a medicine that is 500 years old.”

The wonders of the world of cultivation, such as the ghost market and the drop of life-giving water in front of him, are far more mysterious than he had imagined.

After the shock, Fu Changsheng could no longer hide the smile on his face.

With these two drops of life-giving water.

Then wouldn’t it be possible for his third-level green lotus to be successfully cultivated directly?

This way.

He was finally able to refine his own life-defining magic weapon:
“Great!”

Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

After several fights.

He found that he was still somewhat restricted without his own magical weapon.

He resisted the urge to rush back to Luofeng Mountain to water the Third Transformation Green Lotus, took a deep breath, and after calming down, he opened the other boxes.

The remaining boxes should contain Ping Xingliu’s private collections, and there is nothing special about them.

the end.

He then took out his storage bag.

Ping Xingliu’s body suddenly floated in the air.

His consciousness swept away.

It was discovered that in addition to the pair of cloud-stepping boots on Ping Xingliu’s feet, which were a second-level low-grade magical weapon, he was also wearing a second-level medium-grade black tortoise armor.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up with joy:
“These two things came at the perfect time.”

When using the Cloud-Stepping Boots in combat, one can instantly change one’s body movements, and they are also extremely convenient for traveling.

Also.

His personal protective magic weapon had already been damaged in the battle.

This black tortoise armor just fills the gap.

After a few spells were cast, the Cloud-Stepping Boots and Black Turtle Armor were taken off Ping Xingliu’s body, and then he waved his hand and put them into his pocket.

“hiss~”

at this time.

Xiaoqing on the second floor of the pagoda has been salivating over Ping Xingliu’s corpse.

Fu Changsheng smiled and said:
“Xiaoqing, wait.”

talking.

A spell struck the Human Emperor Banner.

The wind blows.

Qiu Chan flashed out from the Human Emperor Banner in an instant. After failing to reach the second stage last time, Qiu Chan’s aura had weakened a lot. Although he was nurtured by the Human Emperor Banner, the effect was slow. When he came out of the banner and saw the Foundation Establishment Stage corpse, he immediately showed joy on his face:
“Master, can this foundation-building ghost be devoured by this servant?”

“Sure, but can you refine it with your strength?”

Fu Changsheng was still a little worried.

After all, it is a foundation-building ghost.

Qiu Chan smiled and said:
“Master, please rest assured. We have the assistance of the Royal Banner. There will be no problem.”

“Um”

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

When Qiu Chan saw this, his smile widened.

She opened her mouth slightly, and a mysterious breath fell on Ping Xingliu’s corpse. After a while, a milky white soul slowly floated up from the top of her head. The moment it floated up, Qiu Chan immediately blew a breath and put Ping Xingliu’s soul into the Human Emperor Banner:
“Master, if you have no other instructions, then I will enter the Human Emperor Banner to refine this ghost.”

“and many more”

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag.

A flash of glow.

But then another corpse appeared in the air, it was Cao Renshan’s.

Qiu Chan was stunned for a moment, and after sensing it, he confirmed that it was another foundation-building corpse, and a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face:
“Master, is this…is this foundation-building ghost also for me?”

Qiu Chan was so excited that his tongue was chattering.

Wait for Fu Changsheng to nod slightly.

He immediately cast a spell again to put Cao Renshan’s ghost into the Human Emperor Banner.

“hiss~”

at this time.

Xiaoqing, who had been lurking in the pagoda, could no longer bear it and flew out on her own initiative, entwining herself around Fu Changsheng in a flattering manner.

After Qiu Chan finished casting the spell.

Seeing the master patting the storage bag again, he blinked in disbelief:
“Master, anything else?”

The voice just fell.

He Mingdian’s body was suspended in the air.

For Shangguan Feng and Lin Tianfu, the corpse had no other use for them, so they just took away the storage bag. Naturally, Fu Changsheng took it all without hesitation.

“hiss~”

Xiaoqing was also very excited when she saw the third foundation-building corpse appear.

After Qiu Chan sent He Mingdian’s ghost into the Human Emperor Banner, he immediately opened his mouth impatiently, and a suction force came out, instantly swallowing the three corpses at once. With a flash of green light, he took the initiative to return to the tower to refine them.

Qiu Chan bowed:
“Master, the Qiu Chan has also entered the Emperor’s Banner first.”

“and many more”

Fu Changsheng was afraid that Qiu Chan would not be able to hold back and try to reach the second level again, so he instructed:
“Qiu Chan, I have found the recipe and main ingredients of the Ghost Cherry Pill. Once you find an alchemist, you can start refining the pill. With the Ghost Cherry Pill, it will be almost certain that you will break through to the second level. So after refining these ghosts, remember not to rush for a breakthrough. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Master!”

Qiu Chan was somewhat touched.

Xiaoqing, who practiced with her, successfully broke through to the second level, but she failed not only to break through, but also made her master work hard to find the Ghost Cherry Pill for her. It was really damnable. If she couldn’t break through to the second level, with her master’s current level of cultivation, she would be a burden.

Qiu Chan swore secretly in his heart.

Next time, no matter what difficulties and obstacles she faces, she will definitely overcome them and succeed.

After Fu Changsheng put the Human Emperor Banner and the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower into the storage bag, he looked at the contribution value on the panel and pondered.

According to intelligence, the imprisoned second-level alchemist Shi Shutong of the Yunteng tribe will try to escape during the Yunteng tribe’s grand sacrifice.

If he guessed correctly.

The recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill that Elder Kun exchanged in the Ghost Market has most likely fallen into Shi Shutong’s hands by now.

If he could save Shi Shutong.

The recipe for the Foundation Building Pill is at your fingertips!
The foundation-building elixir obtained from the ruins of Qingxu Gate in Penglai Mountain can be refined into foundation-building pills.

This way.

With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Molan can definitely establish his foundation.

and.

There must be more than one foundation-building pill in one furnace.

At that time, human puppets or members of the clan who have the qualifications to break through can try to build the foundation.

“I wonder if the Cao, He, and Ping families will attack the Yunteng tribe before this.”

As before.

Only the three families and the Yunteng tribe knew about the ghost market. Ping Xingliu and his two companions died, and all the traces of fighting he left behind were arranged according to the methods of the Yunteng tribe. Most of the Ping family and others would speculate that the Yunteng tribe was the culprit.

Regardless of whether the three families go to attack the Yunteng tribe.

Before that, he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

This practice time is particularly critical:
“It seems that we should activate the [Training Room]”

Not only does the flow of time in the training room triple, but practicing is also twice as effective with half the effort. If one wants to break through to the middle stage of foundation building in a short period of time, the only way is to activate the [Training Room].

The decision is made.

The thought came to me:
“Activate [Practice Room]”

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then there was a flash before his eyes, and the next moment he disappeared from the spot and entered the training room.

The familiar scent of sandalwood wafts into my nose.

After he walked to the cushion and sat down, his heart, which had been somewhat excited, suddenly calmed down.

Run a big circle.

Exhale the foul air in your body.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and a barrel of Spirit Ape Wine and red tobacco flashed out. The moment the barrel was opened, the red tobacco was thrown in.

hum!
But the spirit wine seemed to be boiling.

Wisps of gray vapor rose up, and then disappeared into thin air with a bang when they reached mid-air.

The wine barrel stopped shaking, and the Spirit Ape Wine inside also returned to calm. A pure spiritual energy filled my nose, and I took a deep breath, feeling instantly refreshed.

Look inside the Dantian.

It was discovered that the magic power was not imprisoned.

This means that the scent of the Ape Wine has been completely removed:
“It’s time to practice.”

Fu Changsheng immediately opened his mouth, gulped down a bottle of spiritual wine, and practiced the “Green Emperor’s Longevity Secret” to refine it quickly.

Spirit Ape Wine is different from elixirs.

The medicinal power contained in it can be completely converted into one’s own true energy after just one circulation.

Therefore, the refining speed is extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye.

More than a year has passed in a flash.

There were only four bottles left in a barrel of Spirit Ape Wine, and the rest were all refined.

As he continued to refine the Spirit Ape Wine, he discovered that his body seemed to have developed drug resistance, and the percentage that could be converted into true essence became less and less. When there was only less than 20% left, he stopped refining it and left the remaining four bottles to Grandmaster Yu.

“Whoo~”

Take a closer look.

But a line of text appeared on the panel:
“Foundation Building: Level 92 (100/)”

There is still a little distance to break through to the fourth level of foundation building.

but.

The medicinal power of this Spirit Ape Wine was better than he had imagined. He thought it would be good enough if it could reach “80”.

Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand.

A box with a white background and leaf patterns appeared in his hand. When he opened the box, he saw a second-grade medium-quality fire mulberry fruit inside. This spiritual fruit was exactly what he needed to sprint to the middle stage of foundation building. He opened his mouth and the spiritual fruit instantly fell into his stomach.

“boom!”

Unlike Lingyuan wine, the medicinal effect is mild.

The moment the fire mulberry fruit entered the dantian, it exploded like an explosive talisman.

The huge amount of medicinal power was like a galloping horse rushing around in his dantian. Fu Changsheng groaned and quickly circulated his true energy to disperse the medicinal power into balls and seal them up, and then refine them one by one.

Cultivation has no time.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

Fu Changsheng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, only heard a clicking sound inside his body. A mysterious barrier was broken open, and his dantian suddenly expanded to more than three times its original size. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness also increased to three times its original size.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up:
“The fourth level of foundation building!”

Finally, I achieved my wish and entered the middle stage of foundation building.

No wonder others say that there is an insurmountable gap between the third and fourth levels of foundation building. This is clearly evident from the expanded Dantian.

Next.

He spent several more months consolidating his realm, and also refined the Cloud-Treading Boots and Black Turtle Armor, and erased the restrictions left by the ancestors of the Heike family at the bottom of the Hunyuan Bowl.

When preparing to leave the customs.

Suddenly.

There was a tremor coming from the Yunhuan Zixian Tower.
