Orthodox Foundation Establishment Pill
"Fellow Daoist Qi, when I went out of the island with Qi Hou to hunt Demon Beast before, I saw him use a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, which was very powerful."
Upon hearing Qi Rui's introduction, Chen Mobai's eyes lit up, and he naturally started a conversation.
"Senior Brother Qi Hou? He is a candidate for the true disciple of our Divine Wood Sect. If there are extra Foundation Establishment in the next batch, he might be able to get one."
Qi Rui also knew the Qi Hou, and when he spoke of him, his face was full of admiration.
"Oh, isn't the Foundation Establishment from the Divine Wood Sect something you can exchange for after accumulating enough contribution points?"
Seeing that Qi Rui seemed quite talkative, Chen Mobai tried asking about the Divine Wood Sect.
"It's not that simple. To refine a genuine Foundation Establishment, you need Golden Jade Ganoderma with a thousand-year-old medicinal property. Although our Divine Wood Sect inherited the largest medicinal garden in Giant Wood Ridge from the Five Elements Sect, and our ancestors planted many Lingzhi seeds with great foresight, we can only harvest ten mature Golden Jade Ganoderma every ten years."
"Theoretically, one batch of the Orthodox Foundation Establishment Pill can produce ten pills, but basically, you'd be lucky to get eight or nine. When our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Light Cliff joined forces to separate from the Five Elements Sect, we agreed that every time the Golden Jade Ganoderma matured, we would give Golden Light Cliff three."
"After the division, our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Light Cliff lineage fought with the remaining three lineages of the Five Elements Sect for twenty years. Eventually, everyone grew tired of it and agreed to cease hostilities. One of the conditions for the Five Elements Sect to recognize the independence of our Divine Wood Sect was that when the Golden Jade Ganoderma in Giant Wood Ridge matured, three of them would be given to the Five Elements Sect."
"The Foundation Establishment of our three sects are all made by Returning Heaven Valley. After the furnace is opened, no matter how many Foundation Establishment Pills are made, Returning Heaven Valley will take one pill from each furnace. Basically, every ten years, just for our Divine Wood Sect, about 30 Foundation Establishment are put into the warehouse."
"The Divine Wood Sect has at least a hundred disciples at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. To ensure fairness and impartiality, these 30 Foundation Establishment Pills need to be obtained through Sect Contribution points. Ten thousand contribution points can be exchanged, but the more Contribution Points you have, the greater your chances of getting them."
Although these were simple sect common sense for the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, they were rare knowledge for Chen Mobai and Shi Pengyi, and they listened with great interest.
This "Golden Jade Ganoderma" is probably the name used in the Sky River Realm; on Earth Origin Star, it's called "Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma," which is quite similar.
As Chen Mobai was thinking this, Qi Rui extended the discussion from the Foundation Establishment to explain the order of the True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, which was actually the order in which they could exchange for the Foundation Establishment.
Although Qi Hou was not among the Twenty-Four True Disciples, he was still quite accomplished in cultivation. Moreover, he was a disciple of a Foundation Establishment Elder Xi the Divine Wood Sect. If the next batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was completed and there were still some left after supplying the True Disciples, he would be able to reserve one.
The Foundation Establishment Elder Xi.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai recalled the handsome Junior Brother Xi, who had been keeping his head down. He must be a descendant of that elder.
No wonder the Qi Hou was willing to train him in Cloud Dream Marsh; it turns out they were fellow disciples.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, I have heard that in addition to the Thousand-Year Golden Jade Ganoderma as the main ingredient, there is another method for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Suddenly, Luo Lin asked a question that Chen Mobai was very concerned about.
"Yes, using the Golden Jade Ganoderma as the main ingredient makes it Orthodox Foundation Establishment Pill. There is another method that uses the Demon Beast Inner Core, but the success rate of this method is not high, and the demon Demon Beast that can condense inner cores are at least at the peak of the Second Grade, which is very difficult to hunt."
Qi Rui nodded and answered the question.
Chen Mobai was hearing this for the first time and asked about it with great interest.
It was normal for him, as Rogue Cultivator, not to know this, and the other three members of the team did not suspect anything.
Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin also heard it from their master.
The founder of their small sect successfully Foundation Establishment by consuming Foundation Establishment made from the inner core of Demon Beast Inner Core. He then recorded this experience in the sect's secret manual, which has been passed down to this day.
"I feel that the two Demon Beast that rushed up to Green Light Island and were killed this time should both be at the peak of the Second Grade. They may have already condensed their inner cores. If that's the case, we might be able to get a few more Foundation Establishment Pills this time."
Qi Rui was somewhat envious when he said this, but his cultivation level was only at the Qi Cultivation Level 8 Refining. Even if he accumulated enough Contribution Points, he might not be qualified.
"Is there any difference between this Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment, made from the Demon Beast Inner Core, and Orthodox Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"There are differences, but the effects are similar. However, each batch can only produce two or three pills at most, but all the Auxiliary Medicine are indispensable, which is a bit uneconomical." At this point, Qi Rui couldn't help but shake his head. "Returning Heaven Valley is unwilling to refine this kind of Foundation Establishment because each time they refine Foundation Establishment, it will delay the Alchemy's cultivation for a year. They only want to refine the Orthodox Foundation Establishment Pill, which takes the same amount of time."
However, it is precisely because of this that the other Alchemy in the Eastern Wasteland have value.
Returning Heaven Valley was unwilling to refine Foundation Establishment, which used Demon Beast Inner Core cores as the main ingredient, the other Alchemy were eager to do so.
The Eastern Wasteland Great Sect and even Cultivating Family in the Eastern Wilderness have trained their own Alchemy, with the ultimate goal of refining this Foundation Establishment.
However, after listening, Chen Mobai felt that the person in charge of Returning Heaven Valley was wise and profound.
After all, if they really monopolized the refining of Foundation Establishment, the status of Returning Heaven Valley would probably not be as transcendent as it is now. It would definitely be targeted by the other Six Major Sects, and might even face annihilation.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, when will the next batch of Golden Jade Ganoderma mature at the Divine Wood Sect?"
Chen Mobai asked a question, which drew strange looks from the rest of the team.
"Ahem, fellow Daoist, you may not be able to wait. The pills are ripe this year and have already been sent to Returning Heaven Valley. When the new batch of disciples enters the sect next year, this batch of Foundation Establishment will be in the sect's treasury and available for exchange."
Qi Rui understood Chen Mobai's meaning and said with great regret.
The Divine Wood Sect recruits disciples once every ten years, which coincides with the time it takes to refine the Foundation Establishment, in order to ensure the orderly inheritance of the lineage from generation to generation.
Even if Chen Mobai is a genius, he will have to wait another ten years before he has a chance to compete for those Foundation Establishment.
"Then what about the Foundation Establishment refined from the inner core of this Demon Beast Inner Core?"
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai continued to ask.
"Of the three Foundation Establishment seniors who came to help, two of them, judging from the Sword Light, should be the senior uncles of Golden Light Cliff. The inner cores of the two Second Grade Demon Beast Inner Core killed today should probably be shared with them. The remaining batch should be able to refine two Foundation Establishment pills by Uncle-Master Zeng, but there are at least twenty or thirty senior brothers and sisters in the sect who have accumulated enough Contribution Points and are waiting in line after the Twenty-Four True Disciples."
When Qi Rui said these words, he himself sighed slightly.
He was also aiming for the batch of Orthodox Foundation Establishment Pill ten years later, but even if he reached the Qi Cultivation Perfection by then, he might not be able to compete with these senior brothers and sisters.
"Aren't there any exceptions? The kind where someone is guaranteed to Foundation Establishment as soon as they enter the sect."
Chen Mobai asked, unwilling to give up.
"It's not that we haven't had any. Ten years ago, when we were recruiting disciples, we snatched a genius with a Heaven Spirit Root from a small sect. Old Ancestor Fu personally came out of seclusion and rewarded him with a Foundation Establishment."
