Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 83: Theory of God's punishment

The elixir recorded on the page that Chen Lin turned to was exactly the same as the one he got from the pond!

Moreover, it is a whole painting, with not only fruits but also dry branches and two rhizomes underneath.

This surprised Chen Lin very much.

He was wondering what the fruit was used for, but he didn't expect to see it here.

However, although he was happy in his heart, there was no expression on his face, and he was also trying to suppress his emotions.

On the one hand, it was due to his cautious character, and on the other hand it was because he had just met Luo Ziqing.

At the trade fair, the other party asked him where he got the python skin. Although he fooled them, he didn't know whether the other party believed it or not, and he didn't know what the other party's purpose was.

This elixir came with the python, so he was extra careful not to show his excitement too obviously.

Anyway, he looked at every page of the book carefully, so he continued browsing as usual.

According to the records, this fruit is called 'Dry Vine Spiritual Fruit', which is a very rare natural treasure and is priceless.

The greatest function of this fruit is to serve as the main ingredient of the foundation-building pill!

The three words "Foundation Building Pill" made Chen Lin's heart tremble again.

For Qi-cultivating cultivators, no one can resist the temptation of the Foundation-Building Pill, because if they want to build their foundation normally, they must have the assistance of the Foundation-Building Pill.

However, the production quantity of Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely rare, to an outrageous degree.

This has led to a situation in today's world of immortal cultivation where there are a large number of Qi-cultivating cultivators, but very few foundation-building cultivators. The ratio has reached an exaggerated level of more than one thousand to one!

The reason why Foundation Establishment Pills are so scarce is that the spiritual medicines needed are rare treasures from heaven and earth, and their quantity is also small. Another reason is the success rate of the pills.

The success rate of the Foundation Building Pill is the lowest among all the pills for the Qi Training and Foundation Building stages.

According to the sayings circulating among cultivators, cultivating immortals is an act against heaven and is robbing the lives of all living things, so one must be punished by heaven.

No matter what kind of cultivation, including monsters and plant spirits, they all absorb the essence of heaven and earth for their own use. The higher the level of cultivation, the more it consumes.

The vital energy of heaven and earth is absorbed in large quantities by practitioners, and the beneficial energy becomes dilute. Other living things and plants will be harmed and their lifespans will be shortened.

Therefore, practitioners are equivalent to plundering the lives of creatures that cannot practice for their own use, which is against the will of heaven. However, building the foundation is the most important step for practitioners to truly practice. The foundation-building pills used to assist practitioners in building the foundation are somehow subject to production restrictions.

Chen Lin also agreed with this statement, which made a lot of sense.

And it's not just the Foundation Establishment Pill, even other ways of foundation establishment have various flaws.

For example, the Blood Demon Skill that Yu Yuehai practiced, although it had no bottleneck, had an unimaginable disadvantage in terms of lifespan.

Even so, the Blood Demon Pill must be used as an aid, and the success rate of the Blood Demon Pill is extremely low.

If it weren't for his ability to hit the target ten times, I don't know how much alchemy materials would be consumed to refine it.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin remembered that there was still a Blood Demon Pill in his storage bag, which he had hidden for Yu Yuehai when he was refining the pill.

It's a pity that I only have the Blood Demon Pill but no Blood Demon Power, so it's useless.

Moreover, even if there really was a Blood Demon Art, he would not dare to practice it. At his age, as long as he succeeded in practicing it, he would die.

While thinking about things, Chen Lin finished reading the contents of the book.

In addition to the fruit being the material for refining foundation-building pills, the two rhizomes can also be used to make pills, but there is no introduction above as to what kind of pills can be made.

After reading it, Chen Lin turned to the next page calmly.

This page introduces a glowing spiritual grass called Starlight Grass. It looks like an ordinary weed during the day and only emits fluorescence when stars appear.

This is also one of the main ingredients for refining the foundation-building pill.

Chen Lin continued to watch calmly. After memorizing all the contents, he turned to the last page.

The last page records a lotus-shaped elixir called the Three-Colored Meditation Lotus.

This is also the material for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill and has no estimated value.

Chen Lin couldn't help but think deeply.

How could a spiritual medicine illustration book of this level be placed in the lounge for everyone to browse through

If the purpose is to allow monks to better understand the types of spiritual medicines, so that they can collect and sell them here after discovering them, so as not to miss them, it would be sufficient to only record the general spiritual medicines.

A rare spiritual herb like this one used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill is something that no one would miss if they encountered it. Even if they were collected, I'm afraid no one would sell it casually, right

Even if it is sold, it will definitely be put on an auction, not sent here.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the meaning of the Ma family's actions. In the end, I could only assume that the other party was so generous in order to show off the status of their spiritual medicine family.

After finishing reading all the content, Chen Lin turned to the first page and prepared to read again the parts that he had not read carefully before.

Unexpectedly, the manager walked into the room with two bottles in his hands.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Here is the Ganyun grass juice that I just extracted. But this is all we have today. If it's not enough, you can come back another day."

The steward explained.

Chen Lin stood up hurriedly, took the bottle in his hand, and thanked him, "That's enough, you really helped me a lot this time, I am very grateful!"

After getting what he wanted, Chen Lin paid the spirit stones and walked out of the room.

As soon as he left, a young man in a white robe walked into the lounge. The other two people in the room immediately put down their books and stood up.

"How is it? Did you find anything unusual?"

The young man in white robe took the book that Chen Lin had read, flipped through it, and asked the two of them.

One of the short men nodded and said, "Yes, after using the induction talisman to observe, this person's emotions fluctuated when he saw the contents of the two-headed mushroom and the withered vine fruit. The emotions were slightly stronger when it came to the two-headed mushroom."

The young man in white robe turned the page to the one about the two-headed mushroom and looked at it. Then he raised his head and asked another middle-aged man with a dark face, "Uncle Lian, did you find anything?"

The dark-faced middle-aged man immediately replied, "That's what I observed. He had the biggest reaction when he saw the two-headed mushroom page, and he also had some mental fluctuations when he saw the withered vine fruit. However, the withered vine fruit is a spiritual medicine for refining foundation-building pills after all. I don't know if his mental fluctuations were caused by the spiritual medicine or by seeing the three words 'foundation-building pills'. In addition, when he saw the starlight grass and the three-color meditation lotus, his mind also had slight fluctuations."

The young man in white robe frowned when he heard this, and finally nodded, "Okay, let's do this for now, you guys go and get busy!"

The two monks immediately left the room.

It seems that the young man in white robe has a high status in the Ma family.

Then, the young man in white robe called the manager and said expressionlessly: "Check the relationship between this person and Ruyifang, and report to me immediately."

Then, he left the lounge with three books.

Soon, more monks came to the lounge to rest and wait, but there were no books for them to read.
