"Top-grade foundation-building pill?"
Han Changming looked troubled, as if he was in a difficult situation.
"Friend Han, I won't let you suffer any loss. Name your price. I want two top-grade foundation-building pills."
Fire Whale Layman said politely that the debt of children is a karmic debt. Who made the children have bad qualities? He couldn't just watch his children die of old age in front of him!
Han Changming had no relationship with Fire Whale Monk, so he would not give it to him for free. He thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Wang has inherited part of the Bailing Sect's heritage. The Bailing Sect is good at repelling insects and taming beasts. I am quite interested in raising spirit insects."
He had killed disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and obtained some books on raising spiritual insects, but they were not rare.
More than two thousand years ago, there were five major forces in the Red Algae Sea, and Bailing Sect was one of them. During its heyday, Bailing Sect was even more powerful than Tinghai Pavilion. It is unknown what the Bailing Sect's top leaders took, but they dispatched a large number of elite disciples to Thousand Poison Island, intending to develop the Thousand Poison Island. As a result, their entire army was wiped out. The other four major forces took the opportunity to destroy Bailing Sect, and some of Bailing Sect's secret techniques were also spread out.
It is rumored that Mr. Huojing obtained part of the inheritance of Bailing Sect, which is why he was able to advance to the Jindan stage.
Fire Whale Monk pondered for a moment, took out a light blue wooden box, and said, "This is the Bailing Sect's unique secret medicine, the Insect Breeding Pill. It is helpful for spiritual insects below the fourth level to advance. My spiritual insect was promoted to the third level after taking two Insect Breeding Pills."
He slapped the spirit beast bag, and a three-meter-long white moth flew out. The white moth had golden wings and a pair of golden antennae about a foot long on its head.
"Level 3 Golden Winged Ice Moth!"
Han Changming's eyes showed an expression of envy. The Golden-winged Ice Moth ranked 75th on the List of Strange Insects in Heaven and Earth. This kind of insect had a keen sense of smell and was good at ice spells, which made it easy for it to hide and launch sneak attacks in ice and snow environments. This kind of insect could evolve, and there was a certain chance that it could evolve into an Ice Wind Butterfly. The Ice Wind Butterfly ranked fifth on the List of Strange Insects in Heaven and Earth. A mature Ice Wind Butterfly could fly extremely fast, reaching a speed of 10,000 feet in an instant, and the cold air it exhaled could freeze thousands of miles. However, the advancement of the evolving insects was extremely difficult, otherwise it would not be ranked 75th.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion ranks 52nd on the list of strange insects in the world. The Amethyst Flying Scorpion cannot evolve into other spiritual insects.
Han Changming took the blue wooden box, opened it and saw a light golden pill inside, emitting a pungent smell.
The spirit beast bag on his waist kept fluttering, obviously stimulated by the Insect Breeding Pill. The Golden-Winged Ice Moth was also a little excited. If it hadn't been for the Fire Whale Monk stopping it, it would have pounced on and snatched the Insect Breeding Pill.
Han Changming picked up the insect-breeding pill with two fingers, checked it carefully, and put it back into the wooden box.
He put away the insect-breeding pill, took out a yellow wooden box and handed it to Mr. Huojing.
Mr. Huojing took the yellow wooden box, opened it and saw two blue pills with a strong fragrance inside. There were several conspicuous dan patterns on the surface of the two blue pills.
"Yes, a top-grade foundation-building pill. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han."
Mr. Fire Whale laughed and spoke politely.
"Friend Wang, I still have two top-grade foundation-building pills. How about exchanging them for the recipe of the Insect Breeding Pill?"
Han Changming took out two blue wooden boxes and handed them to Mr. Huojing.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. With the recipe, he can continuously refine insect-breeding pills and cultivate more third-level spirit insects.
"The recipe for the Insect Breeding Pill?"
Mr. Fire Whale was slightly stunned and a strange expression appeared on his face.
He pondered for a moment, took out a light blue jade slip, handed it to Han Changming, and said, "This is the recipe. Two top-grade foundation-building pills are enough for me. I will give the recipe to Fellow Daoist Han."
He copied the recipe several times and gave them to Tinghai Pavilion and other four major forces, so that he could establish Qingbie Market. For Mr. Huojing, it was just a matter of copying one more recipe, no big deal.
Han Changming became famous at a young age, then fell silent for a while, and became famous again when he was already in the Jindan stage. It was too late for Master Huojing to make friends with him, so he gave the pill formula to Han Changming as a gesture of goodwill so that he could ask for Han Changming's help in the future if he needed it.
Ordinary Foundation Building Pills can make many Qi Refining cultivators break their heads, not to mention top-grade Foundation Building Pills. If top-grade Foundation Building Pills were put up for auction, it would surely cause the Immortal Cultivation families and individual cultivators to fight over them. In front of Jindan cultivators, top-grade Foundation Building Pills are only used as favors.
"Send it to me? That's not good!"
Han Changming looked embarrassed. It was impossible for Master Huojing to give it to him for free, and he didn't want to owe him a favor.
The Fire Whale Layman's face turned serious and he frowned, saying, "If Daoist Fellow Han treats me as an outsider, then forget it.
He pretended to take back the recipe, but Han Changming quickly stopped him, took the blue jade slip, and said, "If that's the case, then I'm ashamed to accept it."
Han Changming raised a lot of spiritual insects, and he couldn't refuse the recipe for the Insect Breeding Pill.
"Haha, that's right! Fellow Daoist Han, there will be a party tomorrow night. All the participants are Jindan cultivators. Do you want to join us?"
Mr. Fire Whale asked enthusiastically.
Han Changming nodded and said, "I am participating in the Red Algae Dharma Assembly this time in the hope of meeting more Taoist friends."
"Okay, tomorrow night at 5 p.m., the location will be at Juxian Pavilion. Daoists from other sea areas will also participate, and magic weapons may be exchanged. Daoist Han, don't miss it."
Han Changming agreed, and after chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left.
After returning to his residence, Han Changming took out the recipe for the Insect Breeding Pill and entered his spiritual consciousness into it. His expression looked a little strange.
The materials for refining the Insect Breeding Pill are all spiritual medicines that are seven or eight hundred years old, and there are dozens of types. Among them, three spiritual medicines are relatively precious, namely the Green Krypton Flower, the Glazed Grass, and the Ice Silver Ginseng. These three spiritual medicines are the main ingredients of many third-level pills. Even if an alchemist gets them, they will not use them to refine the Insect Breeding Pill. Spiritual insects may not be able to advance to a high level after taking the Insect Breeding Pill, but Jindan cultivators will definitely benefit from taking third-level pills.
There are a number of spiritual medicines that are eight or nine hundred years old planted in the Suzaku Space, most of which are used to refine the Insect Breeding Pill. He only needs to find a few auxiliary medicines to refine the Insect Breeding Pill.
If Han Changming had not obtained the Vermillion Bird Pendant, he would not have been able to refine the Insect Breeding Pill even if he had the recipe.
In addition to the Golden Elixir and Jade Liquid, he is now able to refine the Ghost Water Pill, but in small quantities.
The batch of spiritual medicines in the Suzaku Pendant allowed Han Changming to refine third-level pills with all his might, which was why his alchemy skills improved so quickly. However, a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without the spiritual medicines, no matter how good the quality of the spiritual water was, he would not be able to refine third-level pills in the short term.
When Han Zhangxiang went to the open sea, in order to refine magic weapons, he spent a large amount of spirit stones to purchase refining materials. Due to financial constraints, Han Zhangxiang's refining level improved slowly.
He took out the Insect Breeding Pill, put it into the Taiyi Hualing Gourd, upgraded the quality of the Insect Breeding Pill to medium grade, and then fed it to the Amethyst Flying Scorpion. He wondered if the Amethyst Flying Scorpion could advance to the third level.
"Bai Ling Zong! What a pity."
Han Changming talked to himself and sighed.
······
In a secluded courtyard, a dozen foundation-building monks were drinking tea and discussing Taoism. Liu Weiwei, Han Benyong and Song Qingyuan were all inside.
Except for these three people, the other foundation-building cultivators are either descendants of Jindan cultivators or beloved disciples, and they all have backers.
Before this, relying on her own beauty, Liu Weiwei had the honor to participate in the gathering of foundation-building cultivators, but she did not have the opportunity to speak and could only listen. Now it is different, because of Han Changming, Liu Weiwei and Han Benyong have received much attention and are chatting and laughing with other foundation-building cultivators.
If you are not strong enough, it is useless to try to squeeze into a big circle. Others will not like you at all. If you are strong enough, someone will naturally pull you into the circle. This is the bloody reality.
"It's rare to have so many fellow Taoists here, how about we hold an exchange meeting?"
A handsome young man in a green shirt suggested this. His name is Lu Xiaoming, and he is the great-nephew of Lu Haibin.
"Brother Daoist Lu, this is a good suggestion. I am the host, so I will go first!"
Song Qingyuan said with a smile as he took out a dozen materials, including demon pills, refining materials and elixirs.
"Exchange these things for alchemy materials, or things of equal value."
Liu Weiwei's eyes fell on a green gourd and she asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Song, what's in the green gourd? Spiritual fluid or spiritual water?"
Song Qingyuan smiled mysteriously and uncorked the bottle. A fishy and unpleasant smell wafted out. Liu Weiwei frowned slightly, and the monks present all showed expressions of disgust.
"This is Hundred Insects Powder. It can be used to lure demon insects. It is also effective against some third-level demon insects. It is only effective against demon insects. It is useless against demon beasts and birds."
Song Qingyuan explained.
"Hundred Insect Powder? Isn't this the Bailing Sect's unique secret medicine?"
Lu Xiaoming said with some surprise.
"That's right. Hundred Insect Powder is made from a variety of spiritual medicines and can lure a variety of demon insects. I once lured a third-level demon insect from Thousand Poison Island. However, the materials for refining Hundred Insect Powder are difficult to find, and I don't have much on hand."
Song Qingyuan spoke to the end with a look of pride on his face. The Thousand Poison Island was a notorious dangerous place in the Red Algae Sea. The Bailing Sect wanted to occupy the Thousand Poison Island, which resulted in the death of a large number of elites in battle, and was then destroyed by the four major forces.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I will exchange it with you for a middle-grade Wu Yue Pill."
Han Benyong transmitted the message that the shop opened by the Han family had Wu Yue Pills for sale, but they were all ordinary Wu Yue Pills.
He knew that Han Changming raised many kinds of spiritual insects, and maybe Han Changming would like Hundred Insect Powder.
There were not many foundation-building cultivators who were interested in Hundred Insect Powder, so Han Benyong exchanged for it very smoothly.
In the following time, the cultivators took out things to exchange one after another. Lu Xiaoming took out refining materials and several magical instruments to exchange for alchemy materials, but the exchange failed.
Liu Weiwei walked forward, she took out four porcelain bottles of different colors and a green wooden box, and said: "The porcelain bottles contain the middle-grade elixirs Heyuan Dan, Buqi Dan, Wuyue Pill, Huiling Dan, each with only one pill. The wooden box contains Poxia Dan, which can be exchanged for spiritual objects with thunder attributes or poisonous grass and poisonous sacs."
These pills were given to Han Benzhi and Liu Weiwei by Han Changming, and Han Benzhi gave them all to Liu Weiwei.
Before entering the sect, Liu Weiwei had never taken any mid-grade elixirs. After marrying Han Benzhi, she had no shortage of mid-grade elixirs, the most precious of which was the Miasma-Breaking Pill.
Han Benyong's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that Liu Weiwei would actually exchange it for the Miasma Pill.
The things Liu Weiwei wanted to exchange were all what Han Changming was looking for. Han Benyong nodded secretly. He originally looked down on Liu Weiwei, thinking that she had only gotten to where she is today because of her beauty that charmed Han Benzhi. Now he has changed his opinion of Liu Weiwei.
Put yourself in Han Benyong's shoes. Even if Han Benyong has a Miasma-Breaking Pill, he may not be willing to exchange it unless he has two Miasma-Breaking Pills. It's not that he is ungrateful. Han Changming is looking for thunder-attributed spiritual objects and poisonous grass and poison sacs to feed his spiritual insects. Han Benyong thinks that he is much more important than Han Changming's spiritual insects, and he is not willing to joke about his own path.
If it was a spiritual object that was beneficial to Han Changming's cultivation, Han Benyong would be willing to exchange it for the Miasma-Breaking Pill, but that kind of thing was simply not something that could be exchanged for the Miasma-Breaking Pill.
Liu Weiwei's face was calm. She naturally knew how precious the Miasma-Breaking Pill was. It was precisely because of the preciousness of the Miasma-Breaking Pill that she was able to exchange it for good things.
The cultivators present were either descendants of Jindan cultivators or their disciples. Mid-grade elixirs were not enough to impress them.
Many cultivators stop at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Bottleneck is a very important reason. With a Miasma-Breaking Pill, if nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before they can cultivate to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. As for whether they can advance to the Core Formation Stage, it depends on their luck.
"Breaking miasma pill!"
There was a commotion among the monks present, and their eyes became heated.
They all sent messages to Liu Weiwei, wanting to exchange the Miasma-Breaking Pill.
"Madam Han, I will use the inner elixir of the third-level middle-grade demon beast Blood Toad Beast to exchange these five pills from you. What do you think?"
Lu Xiaoming sent a message to Liu Weiwei with a sincere tone.
A third-grade intermediate demon pill is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, which is more than enough to exchange for five pills. The blood toad beast is highly poisonous, and the venom it spits out can easily destroy the protective aura of a Jindan cultivator. A Jindan cultivator will also be in trouble if he comes into contact with the venom spits out by the blood toad beast.
Liu Weiwei took the green wooden box handed over by Lu Xiaoming, opened it and saw a blood-red demon pill as big as an egg inside. There were some golden lines on the surface of the demon pill, and it emitted a pungent bloody smell.
"Third brother, can you help me check if this is a third-level demon pill?"
Liu Weiwei handed the green wooden box to Han Benyong and asked in a voice transmission.
She was born in a small family and had little experience. After marrying into the Han family, she made up for her knowledge of cultivating immortals. She was actually sure that it was a third-level demon pill, but when it came to the miasma-breaking pill, she had to be cautious. It is better to be safe than sorry.
Han Benzhi checked it carefully and nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
"Friend Lu, these five pills are yours."
Liu Weiwei collected the inner pill of the blood toad beast and gave five pills to Lu Xiaoming, who was overjoyed.
The cultivators looked at Lu Xiaoming with envy. Even with a Jindan cultivator as their backer, it was not easy for them to get a Miasma-Breaking Pill.
"Mrs. Han, excuse me for asking, these pills were made by Senior Han, right?"
Lu Xiaoming asked in an envious tone. He usually took ordinary pills and was very happy when he occasionally got a mid-grade pill. Liu Weiwei gave him four mid-grade pills at once.
Liu Weiwei smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's my fault for not living up to expectations, otherwise my father-in-law would have given me a top-grade elixir."
They followed Han Changming to attend the Red Algae Dharma Assembly this time because they had a mission. In addition to making friends with fellow practitioners, they could also show off Han Changming's superb alchemy skills. The higher Han Changming's alchemy skills are, the more other forces will look up to him. If they make friends with other cultivators, others will also look up to them.
