Chapter 105 Hu Xue Leng recovers! Jindan Family! (3k)

Back in the room, Shang Ting poured the spiritual objects in the storage bag onto the table.

The first is a piece of spiritual jade, the texture of which is like crystal amber, emitting a soft light.

This is the essence of the century!
It is an extremely precious material, usually produced from deep in the spirit veins.

After hundreds of years of sedimentation and accumulation, the spiritual marrow contains extremely pure spiritual energy.

But this kind of spiritual energy is not huge, and it cannot be directly absorbed for cultivation like spiritual stones. It is just a kind of spiritual material.

So the value is not that high, it can be obtained for three hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It is one of the main ingredients of the Magic Condensation Pill, which can provide a pure spiritual power foundation for the pill and promote the condensation and refinement of magic power in the cultivator’s body.

Then, there was a purple heart grass!

Purple Heart Grass grows in valleys rich in spiritual energy. Its leaves are dark purple with a gem-like purple core in the center.

It has the function of stabilizing magic power and enhancing the effect of elixirs.

It can be integrated with other materials to jointly exert the magical effect of condensing and extracting magical power.

This purple heart grass needs to be picked with great care because it has extremely high requirements for its growing environment. Once it leaves a specific environment, its medicinal efficacy will rapidly decrease.

The third spiritual object is the Heavenly Spirit Fruit!
This is a rare spiritual fruit with a round shape and a faint golden glow.

It usually grows on cliffs, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon.

The Tianling Fruit contains rich spiritual essence, which can quickly increase the practitioner’s mana concentration!

As well as spiritual spring sand, cold pond spiritual water, eighteen spiritual objects!
These spiritual objects are the main materials for refining the Condensation Pill.

Just purchasing these medicinal herbs took up all of the merchant’s savings – 1,400 low-grade spirit stones!

He even asked his clan members to help him out with 300 yuan.

“Haha. I have a sword but no money. Even if I spend all my money, I can get it back.”

Shang Ting smiled slightly, pinched the hundred-year spiritual essence, and said with a smile:

“It’s worth it. This Condensing Magic Pill can save me more than two years. In more than 700 days, I can earn back my money with interest just by refining the second-level magic pill.”

The mana of a Qigong practitioner increases gradually according to its quality. The colors are:

Emerald green (first 3 layers), pale green (middle 3 layers), dark green (last 3 layers), and dark green (peak).

The ninth level of Qi training is the last stage in the late stage of Qi training.

The dark green magic power has been sublimated to the extreme, and the next step is to prepare to build the foundation.

Before building the foundation, it is necessary to purify the mana gaze to the extreme of the Qi training stage – dark green.

When you sprint to build your foundation, you will have a better chance of success with such high-quality mana.

Those who have reached the ninth level of Qi training can also directly advance to the stage of foundation building, but that is often a helpless act for those who are nearly sixty years old, and the success rate is less than one in a thousand.

The task of the ninth level of Qi training is to condense and purify the magic power in the body, compress it again and again, and sublime it to the extreme.

This process is slow and important, and the elixirs that were previously used to speed up practice are unlikely to be effective.

But there are exceptions.

Ru Ning Fa Dan is a precious pill recipe that Shang Ting mastered in his previous life, and it is specifically used for this process.

This elixir is made using ancient methods.

The main ingredients include century-old spiritual essence, century-old Ganoderma lucidum, and some exotic herbs that can only be found in specific secret realms, which are extremely rare.

But its characteristic is that it can greatly purify the magic power, making it incomparably pure and condensed!
After practitioners take it, not only will the speed of mana refining be accelerated, but the refined mana will also be of higher quality and more stable.

Its mechanism of action is to adjust the flow of mana within the practitioner’s immortal orifice, optimize the path of mana refining, and reduce the loss of mana during the refining process.

Therefore, for cultivators who usually spend three or four years on this process, the time can be shortened by 60% after taking the Condensation Pill!
“Moreover, the Condensation Pill is the same as the Flower Spirit Peiyuan Pill. You can only take it once.”

“I can refine three pills in this furnace, and contribute two to the family. Then the contribution points I have used will increase instead of decrease.”

“These contribution points can allow the family caravan to prepare 500 spirit stones and search for various skills, techniques, pill recipes and other materials in major markets. In this way, the family’s knowledge reserves in various aspects are constantly increasing.”

Shangting whispered.

He immediately spread out his robes, took out the alchemy cauldron, sat on the cushion, and began to make the elixir.
“If everything goes as I expect, I will reach the peak of my Qi training at around 34 years old.”

“By then, the Jade Liquid Flowing Golden Flower and the Foundation Building Pill will have been delivered, and we can complete the foundation building in one go!”

Shang Ting’s eyes were bright. With a wave of his hand, a stream of magic power shot into the cauldron from which heat was gradually rising.

Half a year later, Hujia Village.

The room layout of the head of the family, Hu Xueleng, has become quite simple and unique.

The house is built with solid logs and exudes a faint wood fragrance.

At the entrance, a coarse cloth curtain swayed gently in the wind.

Inside the room, the floor is covered with thick straw mats. Although not luxurious, it gives people a sense of simplicity and stability.

Against the wall was a carved solid wooden bed with a bed curtain made of dark coarse cloth. The bed was covered with a soft cotton mattress embroidered with simple yet elegant patterns.

There is an antique desk by the window, on which are placed pens, ink, paper and inkstone. A Duan inkstone exudes a warm luster, and several brushes are neatly inserted in the pen holder.

The bookshelf next to it is made of old wood and is filled with ancient books. Although it is a bit old, it carries the test of time.

In the corner of the room, there is a copper incense burner, with curling green smoke rising up, exuding a light fragrance, filling the whole room with a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. On the wall hang several landscape paintings, with ink dripping, as if bringing the beauty of nature into the room.

In the center of the room, there is a round wooden table and several wooden chairs.

A middle-aged man was sitting upright on a chair. He had just recovered from a serious illness and looked a little thin, but he had a calm demeanor.

He was dressed in plain clothes, neat and clean.

The sleeves of her clothes fluttered gently in the breeze, carrying a hint of indifference after experiencing vicissitudes of life.

This middle-aged man is Hu Xueleng!
Although his face was still somewhat pale, his eyes gradually regained their luster, like a dusty pearl that had been wiped clean and was now shining brightly.

The hair is simply tied with a wooden hairpin, and a few strands of hair fall on the forehead, adding a touch of casualness.

He sat quietly, and although he was dressed simply, he looked like a pine tree that remained tall and straight after going through wind and rain.

Although he was no longer ostentatious, Hu Yi, who was sitting opposite him, still respected him.

“Congratulations to the Patriarch for finally recovering! It took seven years for the golden blood poison to be completely cured. It’s really hard to deal with.”

Hu Yi clasped his fists and congratulated, expressing his emotion.

Although Hu Xue Leng had been tortured by the golden blood poison for seven years, his face did not show any excitement. Instead, he showed a tranquility like a deep pool.

Listening to Hu Yi’s congratulations, he just waved his hand.

Hu Yi said again:

“Master, I have been acting as the family’s agent for seven years, but I am not able to handle the situation well. It is great that you step down now. What will the family do next?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Xue Leng stood up expressionlessly.

He stood with his hands behind his back, pacing quietly in the room.

After a moment, he suddenly said:
“Our Hu family formulated a plan to destroy the Shang and Yao families fifty years ago.”

“It has been steadily implemented for thirty years, causing the Shang and Yao families to be extremely embarrassed and almost in dire straits.”

“But for some reason, the plan to gradually erode Shangjia over the past 20 years suddenly failed when it was about to be completed. Shangjia old ghost killed Hu Ren, harmed me, and successfully helped Shang Haoran build his foundation. In the past ten years, Shangjia has climbed out of the coffin.”

Finally, Hu Xueleng suddenly turned around, looked at Hu Yi with cold eyes, and said:

“Any news about the business lately?”

Hu Yi pondered for a moment and said, “Yes!”

Then, he told the story about the zombie tide half a year ago, how Shang Haoran defeated the three-headed flying zombies alone, and how he came to the rescue of the Yao family.

The language is detailed, but the exact circumstances of when the merchant defeated the zombie tide are unknown.

I thought it was all Shang Haoran’s credit, and it was obvious that he got the information from the Yao family.

Listen.

Hu Xue looked out the window calmly and said resolutely:

“We can’t wait any longer. Shang Haoran is not an ordinary person. If we wait until he reaches the middle stage of foundation building, or if another person from Shang family suddenly appears to be in the foundation building stage, it will be too late!”

When these words came out, Hu Yi was shocked!

Are you ready to take action now?

Hu Yi thought about it, frowned and said:
“Master, there is no need to take it so seriously, right? No matter how strong Shang Haoran is, he is only in the early stage of foundation building.”

“And now another twenty years have passed. Now Yao Zuyao of the Yao family has reached a lifespan of over 140 years old, and he only has over 50 years left to live. It’s just like the merchants back then, with a lack of successors.”

“Among the young talents of my Hu family, there is one, Hu Qing, who has been tempered in the Blood Demon Sect and has the potential to build a foundation. Even if we compare potential, my Hu family has the advantage.”

The Hu family has the upper hand?

After listening to this, Hu Xue Leng looked at him with deep eyes and said slowly:
“I know what you said, but I can’t wait any longer.”

Can’t wait.
Hu Yi was stunned, his eyes trembled, and said:

“Aren’t you only 112 years old this year? Why do you say that?”

“I’m not dying, I just can’t wait to form the elixir!”

Hu Xue said in a deep voice:

“I need to expand the number of monks in my family, but due to the current size of my family and resources such as spiritual veins, I cannot multiply.”

“Now the number of people in the family who are below the middle stage of Qi training is already the sum of the Shang and Yao families. But for my spiritual roots, they have not improved for a long time.”

“If I continue to cultivate like this, I will probably only reach the false elixir stage when I try to form a elixir in the future. That’s why we need to unify the Huangyan Mountains as soon as possible, use the three second-level spiritual veins, spread our descendants, and push the number of immortal cultivators in the family to thousands!

By then, I may be able to break through to the Heavenly Spiritual Root and reach the Golden Core! I will elevate my Hu family to a Golden Core family!”

These words slowly drifted around the room.
It also floats in Hu Yi’s heart.

Hu Yi was shocked at this moment, and looked at Hu Xueleng with a completely different look.

The head of the family actually has such grand ambitions!

Hu Yi stood up and bowed, clasped his fists again, and said in a deep voice:
“Master, I understand!”

Then he raised his head, looked at Hu Xueleng, and said hesitantly:
“However, now there are three parties in a stalemate. How do you plan to break the current deadlock?”

As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on Hu Xue’s pale face.
