The Foundation Establishment Pill seems to be of low grade, but for a practitioner, or for the path of cultivation, it plays a vital role.
Only when you step into the foundation-building realm can you truly embark on the path of cultivation, and be truly different from ordinary mortals. Especially for a sect, building a foundation is not only a personal foundation, but also a sect's foundation. Therefore, for any sect, the Foundation Building Pill is related to the foundation of the sect, and its importance is naturally self-evident.
Purely in terms of elixirs, the Qi Refining Pill is incomparable to the Foundation Establishment Pill. The Qi Refining Pill is just an elixir that assists ordinary practice, while the Foundation Establishment Pill is used to break through the realm. To put it a bit exaggerated, this is called the creation of heaven and earth, so the herbs used in the Foundation Establishment Pill are naturally unusual.
Almost all of the prescriptions for the Foundation Establishment Pill are herbs that are not easily available. In particular, the two main herbs are extremely precious spiritual herbs, one is jade ganoderma and the other is spiritual marrow flower. Although these two kinds of spiritual grass are not rare and rare, not many sects cultivate them. One of the main reasons is that the planting environment is difficult to satisfy, and only the secret realm with richer aura can be planted.
Yuqing Sect once had a secret realm. Even after the main peak was sealed by a formation, there was still a secret realm of medicinal fields for planting, a cave-level magic weapon. However, it is said that thousands of years ago, after a certain alchemy master from the Yuqing Sect's Alchemy Hall defected, this secret realm of medicinal fields became someone else's property.
As for now, the jade ganoderma and spiritual marrow flowers needed by Yuqing Sect are purchased from various channels at a large price, and the quantity is of course extremely limited. To use a common saying, this is called neck sticking. Those sects that have these two kinds of spiritual grass use this thing to stick the neck of Yu Qingzong.
As a result, some of the inner disciples of the inner sect of Yuqing Sect who have perfected their Qi refining skills are unable to use even low-grade foundation-building pills, and they have to compete in rankings just to get a foundation-building pill.
Since these two spiritual herbs were not available, Ye Zan's first thought was chemical synthesis. But unfortunately, the main components of these two spiritual herbs cannot be represented by simple molecular formulas. There are some mysterious elements that are difficult to decipher.
"In one month, it will be the time for the five sects to meet in martial arts. It would be better for me, junior brother, to postpone the foundation building."
Just when Ye Zan was worried about the foundation building pill, Elder Mo came to the door and asked Ye Zan not to rush to build the foundation.
"Five Sects Martial Arts Competition?"
Ye Zan immediately recalled it and actually found information about these five martial arts competitions from the notes he had read. These five sects are Yuqing Sect, Jinguang Sect, Wuzhu Sect, Guangfa Sect, and Qingyue Sword Sect.
Among the five sects, Qingyue Sword Sect is the strongest and can be regarded as a second-rate sect, while the other four sects are truly third-rate sects. Although the Qingyue Sword Sect only has three Nascent Soul Ancestors, its sword cultivators focus on killing and killing, so they cannot be said to be invincible at the same level. However, sword cultivators are also recognized as the most difficult opponents in the same realm. Of course, what's more important is that the Qingyue Sword Sect has a supreme elder whose life and death are unknown, and he is a powerful soul.
As for Guangfa Sect, it is considered a Buddhist sect. It is not very strong, but it has many disciples. Moreover, the characteristic of Buddhism is that the entry level is not weak, but if you want to go further, you must have great perseverance. Therefore, when it comes to the Qi Refining Realm alone, the disciples of Guangfa Sect are the most difficult to deal with, especially those who are good at the art of combined attack with formations.
This martial arts meeting among the five sects originated from a secret realm that appeared in a valley at the junction of the five sects' forces more than three hundred years ago. Originally, it was not the turn of third-rate sects like them to discover a secret realm. However, after several first-class sects sent people to investigate, they found that there was nothing valuable in this secret realm, so they "gave it" to these five sects with great compassion.
The secret realm is restricted and sealed, and only Qi Refining Realm monks are allowed to enter. Just like ants can pass through the cracks in the door, while slightly larger ones are blocked from the door. Since those first-class sects know that there are no good things in the secret realm, they naturally will not waste their efforts to help the five sects break the restrictions. Therefore, the five sects could only send some disciples from the Qi Refining Realm every ten years, and this was the so-called Five Sects Martial Arts Competition.
However, despite looking down on the first-rate sects, the products in the secret realm are still quite attractive to third-rate sects like the Five Sects.
There are generally two types of products produced in the secret realm, one is spiritual grass, and the other is monster beasts. Needless to say, the value of spiritual grass is worth mentioning, and monster beasts can be said to be full of treasures. The flesh of some monsters is comparable to the best Qi Refining Pills, the bones of some monsters are excellent materials for refining magic weapons, and the most valuable ones are the inner elixirs of monsters.
Of course, it is not easy to obtain the inner elixir of monsters. After all, monsters are not ordinary beasts. Most of them even have innate spells, which are equivalent to monks in the foundation building realm. Therefore, these five martial arts competitions are, firstly, to explore the secret realm to find some benefits, and secondly, to use the monsters in the secret realm to sharpen the disciples of each sect.
"This Five Sects Martial Arts Competition seems quite interesting." Ye Zan was thinking not only of the origins of the Five sects' Martial Arts Competition, but also of some miscellaneous notes left by the people of the Yuqing Sect after these Martial Arts Competitions, or rather Complaining is more appropriate.
Needless to say, the four sects besides Yuqing Sect, Jinguang Sect and Wuzhu Sect, can be regarded as the vanguard of suppressing Yuqing Sect. Guangfa Sect and Yuqing Sect have no connection, and they don't specifically suppress them, but who doesn't want to get more benefits in the secret realm? As for the Qingyue Sword Sect, it was a second-rate sect. Even though it was at the bottom, it had always looked down upon the other four sects such as Yuqing.
Therefore, after all calculations, Yu Qingzong ended up having no friends in Wu Zong Hui Wu. It is said that many friends lead to many paths, and it goes without saying what the situation is like without friends. It can be said that in all the five martial arts competitions between the five sects, the Yuqing Sect has always been at the bottom. It can get the least benefits, but often the greatest damage.
If the Yuqing Sect was still the same as before, Elder Mo would not have a martial arts competition with Ye Zanti among the five sects. After all, he had to consider the safety of his great uncle. But this time it was different. After half a year, he had clearly seen the changes in Yuqing's disciples, so he was quite confident in this five-sect martial arts competition.
"There are five sects in the martial arts competition. Each sect has ten places. I wonder if my junior brother has any suggestions for other candidates?" Elder Mo asked.
Ye Zan thought for a moment and said: "Let's choose based on the performance in the Virtual God Realm. One depends on personal ability, and the other depends on collaborative ability."
The Virtual God Realm that Ye Zan mentioned is the name of the game world, or the name of this game. After all, he couldn't explain it to people. This was just a common online game in the technological world.
Elder Mo nodded and said, "It's a good idea, just follow what my junior brother said."
"I also need to make some preparations and prepare some surprises for them." Ye Zan rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.
Although the experience in the Virtual God Realm is very effective, Ye Zan does not think that the Yuqing disciples who have gone through those experiences can really defeat the four sects in the martial arts competition of the five sects. The so-called lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Ye Zan has a big cheat called technology, so he naturally has to find ways to improve his side's strength as much as possible.
On the other side, Elder Mo announced the selection method for the five sects' martial arts competition in the Virtual God Realm, which immediately caused another fight against monsters. In the past, these disciples could be said to have avoided the Five Sects' martial arts competitions. But things are different now. They are very aware of the changes that have taken place in themselves in the past six months, and they can't wait to show off their strength.
