White Cloud Sect.

Cheng Buzheng returned to the White Cloud Sect, but did not directly return to Secret Chamber for retreat.

With a flash of inspiration, he flew towards Earth Fire Chamber.

After Cheng Buzheng glanced at the plaque of Earth Fire Chamber, he stepped directly into the hall.

In the hall.

Old Man Nan was lying drowsily on Rocking Chair, swaying back and forth with the swing of Rocking Chair.

When Cheng Buzheng saw Old Man Nan, the books he usually held in his hands were gone, the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious, and his hair was all gray.

This is the sign of Qi and Blood's decline, and it is also the time when the monk's end is approaching.

He knows that Old Man Nan's time may be numbered!

Immediately.

Cheng Buzheng After gathering his emotions, he walked into the hall with a smile.

"Old Man Nan, why are you so listless!"

He said with a mocking look on his face.

Hear the words.

Old Man Nan, who was lying on Rocking Chair, opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Cheng Buzheng, felt the huge pressure, and said slowly:

"You kid, you've also been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"Originally, Little Fatty also has a Foundation Establishment pill left with me, ready to sell it to you!"

"It seems there's no need for it now."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Cheng Buzheng smiled and said:

"But..."

"Old Man Nan, isn't it time you met me, Martial Uncle!"

Cheng Buzheng said with a serious look on his face, put on his clothes, and pretended to be waiting for Old Man Nan to see him!

Hear the words.

Old Man Nan opened his eyes wide, his heart suddenly became angry, and he said angrily:

"Get out..."

"The old man doesn't have much time left. If you don't want to bow down, let's see if you can get me!"

After saying that, Old Man Nan turned around like an old child.

See this.

Cheng Buzheng smiled slightly, then his face turned serious and he said:

"Old Man Nan, this Martial Uncle wants to punish you for the crime of disrespect?"

"But?"

"If you can use Spirit Wine to bribe this Martial Uncle, I will have a lot of Martial Uncle. How about I spare you this once?"

Old Man Nan, without even looking at Cheng Buzheng, said angrily:

"I don't want to see you, a brat like you, so get away from me!"

"Don't talk about a pot of Spirit Wine, not even a drop will be given to you, you white-eyed wolf!"

See this.

"Hey, Old Man Nan, are you quite energetic?"

Cheng Buzheng said jokingly while walking towards the counter.

Come to the counter.

Cheng Buzheng casually pulled over a bench, sat down, took out a pot of Spirit Wine and a set of wine utensils, and said:

"Forget it, I, Martial Uncle, don't care about the faults of others. I'll give you a taste of the good wine I, Martial Uncle, brought back from outside!"

He said while pouring the wine.

Only seen.

Old Man Nan sniffed and looked a little hesitant. Then he seemed to have thought of something and said angrily:

"I won't drink your Spirit Wine, take it away!"

Hear the words.

Cheng Buzheng felt the unsteadiness in the tone and continued:

"This is a rare Spirit Wine. It would be a pity not to drink it!"

Immediately, Cheng Buzheng took a sip and sighed:

"Compared with the previous Spirit Wine, it is like a fairy brew!"

As he spoke, he shook the wine cup, and the faint aroma of wine continued to spread.

I saw that Old Man Nan's throat swallowed unconsciously, but his expression became hesitant.

Secretly:

"You can't take advantage of this kid. Drink up all his Spirit Wine without leaving a drop for him!"

"Ask him to come and satisfy me."

Thinking of this, Old Man Nan turned around and said with some reluctance:

"Since you are so sincere, I will give you some face!"

As he spoke, Old Man Nan stretched out his hand to hold the wine cup and took a swig.

"Okay, it's a good wine after all!"

Old Man Nan, sighed as he grabbed the wine bottle and filled it up again.

See this.

Cheng Buzheng smiled knowingly.

It was precisely because he knew that Old Man Nan was depressed that he stimulated Old Man Nan in this way.

Simple comfort and companionship will not make the situation better.

An old man and a young man finished a pot of Spirit Wine while laughing and cursing.

Then Cheng Buzheng and Old Man Nan, who had a red face, exchanged words.

Go directly to Alchemy Chamber.

One month later.

Within Alchemy Chamber.

Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged on the futon and looked at Long-necked Jade Bottle in his hand.

Although the alchemy furnace was not full this time, there were still nine pills of Azure Cloud Pill.

After a year of searching, he collected a furnace of elixirs, including a precious elixir that he brought from the secret realm.

After refining Azure Cloud Pill twice, two precious spirit medicine plants have been used.

Not counting that spirit medicine, just collecting the other thirty-two kinds of spirit medicine cost more than 1,200 Spirit Stone.

If it weren't for Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet, who has been refining Qi Gathering Pill at White Cloud City Earth Fire Chamber all year round, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to use the elixir at this time.

During this year, Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet refined Qi Gathering Pill every month, and the net profit reached almost eight hundred Spirit Stone. After one year, there were almost more than nine thousand six hundred Spirit Stone.

After deducting all kinds of consumption, there are only more than 6,000 Spirit Stone in his storage bag at this time. This is why he has made so much profit because of his full furnace of elixirs.

For an ordinary First-Tier Superior-Grade Alchemist, the net profit in a year is only a little over 3,000. After subtracting various consumption, the profit is even less.

Foundation Establishment Realm consumes more, but fortunately Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet can refine first-level elixirs, so there is enough Spirit Stone to maintain cultivation.

Otherwise, he will not only have to collect spirit medicine, but also earn Spirit Stone, and the training time will be shorter at the same time.

This is also because refining the elixir of the Foundation Establishment Pill requires elixirs that are at least hundreds of years old, while first-level elixirs can be refined with only a few years to decades of age.

This also makes the Foundation Establishment Realm elixir rare and its cultivation more difficult to improve.

Azure Cloud Pill is only an elixir for improving mana, and the elixir for nourishing the body and soul was found after a year of searching, costing more than two thousand Spirit Stone, 'Soul-Solidifying Pill' and 'Body-Forging Pill', but they were not all together.

Both types of spirit medicine are more or less lacking in several strains of spirit medicine.

For most Foundation Establishment Realm monks, they can only rely on time to improve their cultivation. Day after day, year after year, they practice Absorb Spirit Energy diligently, or take first-level Spirit Pill to improve their cultivation. From this, we can see the importance of Spirit Vein to the monks.

The richer the spiritual energy, the faster the progress of cultivation. If you are in a place with poor spiritual energy, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation even if it takes hundreds of years, except of course taking pills.

There are even fewer monks who can take second-level elixirs to maintain their cultivation.

After all, in the world of immortality, poor monks still account for the majority. As for those wealthy monks, they are almost all descendants of high-level monks, or people with great opportunities.

Cheng Buzheng lamented that it was difficult to improve his cultivation. He had not taken Azure Cloud Pill for a long time.

Azure Cloud Pill was used up more than half a year ago. As for the reward promised by Martial Uncle, the previous expectations have turned into extravagant hopes, so it's okay not to talk about it.

After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the absorption capacity has greatly increased. You can take the elixir every half a month to avoid the drug resistance period and detoxification period.

After a long wait, Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet, I acquired all spirit medicine, and then immediately sent spirit medicine over.

These nine pills of Azure Cloud Pill are only enough for him for more than four months.

This shows the terrifying consumption of monk Foundation Establishment Realm.
