Chapter 34: Level 2 Inheritance, Li Family Spiritual Island
Chapter 34: Second-level inheritance, Li Family Spiritual Island
Wei Zhong lowered his head in thought. Originally, he intended to sell this Foundation Establishment Pill to Ning Cankun. After all, they were friends for many years, and it was only right for him to give him a hand.
But the other party chose to refuse, and frankly admitted that he had given up the hope of building a foundation.
It would be a good idea to sell it to Taoist Hu Yang in front of him now, so as to add some visible spirit stones to Chu Zhong's alias.
Then, whether he was renting a spiritual land or purchasing magical instruments and elixirs, he would always have a shortage of spirit stones.
So Wei Zhong looked up and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are right. I do have one Foundation Establishment Pill left in my hand, and I am willing to sell it. It would be better to sell it to Senior Hu than to others. I wonder what price you are willing to pay."
Taoist Hu Yang held up three fingers: "Three thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Wei Zhong frowned. The current market price of the Foundation Establishment Pill is five thousand. Hu Yang's offer is too humiliating.
The latter maintained a faint smile:
"Don't be anxious, my friend. Take a look at the gift I gave you first."
Wei Zhong looked at the gift box on the table, and after opening it, he found a broken jade slip inside.
When he used his spiritual sense to explore, the content made Wei Zhong happy.
The incomplete inheritance of the second-level spirit wine brewing technique.
There seemed to be several wine recipes recorded in it, but they were covered by prohibitions and the details could not be seen clearly.
"How about it, fellow Taoist, are you satisfied with this gift?
Daoist friend's spirit wine brewing skills are so superb that I cannot compare to him. But he is obviously stuck at the first level and is not proficient in the second level brewing method.
Although this inheritance is only an incomplete second-level method, it is only missing a few important wine recipes, and the main inheritance part is intact, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a complete inheritance.
This second-level inheritance method is extremely rare for you as a casual cultivator at this time."
Wei Zhong glanced at the jade slip and knew that what he said was true.
Although this is not worth two thousand spirit stones, it is almost the same.
However, it is a bit unfair for the old Taoist to include the value of the gift in the transaction.
"Let's do the deal as Senior said."
Wei Zhong still made a decision.
After the transaction, the two talked about the guest officials again.
"Fellow Daoist Chu is thinking long-term by not becoming a guest of Qingmu Sect."
There was a hint of emotion on Hu Yang's old face.
"Oh? Could it be that this guest official thing is still a bit secretive?"
Hu Yang shook his head:
“It’s not a secret, but over the years, Qingmu Sect always gives me and other independent cultivators some difficult tasks to accomplish.
For example, during the last development of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, several of our fellow foundation builders died.”
Wei Zhong's heart sank. It turned out that he was right not to agree to Xu Changjun's invitation.
“Alas, in fact, this guest position is not a hot potato, it’s just that we are unlucky and it happened to be at this time.
Not only our Qingmu Sect, but also Hanzhu City in this prefecture is preparing for the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Other government forces are also preparing or carrying out their actions in full swing.
Developing the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range has become a major trend in the current cultivation world."
Wei Zhong was somewhat puzzled:
"Is there a deeper secret behind the development of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?"
Although Wei Zhong heard some information from Ning Cankun, it was certainly not as comprehensive as what Taoist Hu Yang in front of him knew.
Hu Yang drank a glass of spirit wine:
“In fact, several decades ago, the top leaders of our human race had the intention to attack the Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Recently, there have been frequent incidents of the collapse of various secret realms, which has accelerated this process."
"The secret realm collapsed?"
Wei Zhong couldn't help but think of the 'Qingchuan Secret Realm'. "There are different theories about the cause of the collapse, but the mainstream one is that the world's ability to absorb the fragmented spaces of the secret realm has become stronger.
Some people say that this is a major change in the cultivation world, a manifestation of the strengthening of the power of the interface in this world, and the cultivation world will usher in a prosperous era. "
Wei Zhong was nearly choked by his words, and recalled the rule in his previous life's novels that whenever the protagonist arrived, the world he lived in would be hit by a disaster.
Behind every prosperous era there will be disaster.
Could it be that I am so unlucky after traveling here?
This makes me feel uneasy in my cultivation.
“Haha, don’t be surprised, brother. A prosperous era is a good thing. With our ordinary talents, maybe we will have a chance to see the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul stage.”
Wei Zhong wiped the wine:
"What the seniors said is absolutely true."
······
"Okay, that's all I have to say today. I have something important to attend to, so I'll leave now."
"Senior, walk slowly."
Outside the door, the two of them bowed to each other.
"By the way, if you want to find a spiritual place, you might as well go to the Li family and take a look."
After saying this, Hu Yang flew into the sky on a fiery red flying sword.
Wei Zhong was left alone at the courtyard gate, deep in thought.
"The Li family, could it be the Li family that spent 7,000 spirit stones to bid for the foundation-building pill more than a decade ago? I heard that their foundation-building ancestor has reached the end of his life, and I don't know if he is dead. It involves a spiritual land, I have to go and see it myself."
So Wei Zhong immediately packed up his things and went to the market town to investigate.
The news we received was that the ancestor of the Li family passed away ten years ago.
As for the priceless foundation-building pill, it was given to Li Haowen, the Qi-refining genius who had the most hope of building a foundation in the clan at that time. Unfortunately, he failed to build a foundation in the end and damaged his roots.
At the same time, the main line to which it belongs was attacked and belittled by other branches, and now it has become an inconspicuous side branch of the Li family.
The new main lineage had established a relationship with a casual cultivator.
His name is Zhu Dao Ren, and he came here from Hanzhu City.
He originally wanted to find a place to take refuge, but the Li family took advantage of the situation and climbed up to him, giving him an advantage.
Therefore, with his help, the Li family retained most of its power and barely maintained the prestige of the foundation-building family.
But after just a few years, the Li family discovered that this foreign monk was becoming more and more greedy, and was simply a blood-sucking worm living on the Li family.
A large amount of output is taken away by it every year, and it has become even more ferocious in recent years.
As a result, the treatment of Li family disciples is even worse than that of the children of Qi refining families.
However, due to his foundation-building cultivation level, the Li family did not dare to openly resist. They only spread the news of his atrocities everywhere and secretly asked other foundation-building cultivators to stand up for him.
"Master Zhu is in the early stages of foundation building and is good at using fire magic. He was injured when he first arrived in this area ten years ago, so he asked the Li family to collect various healing treasures, and they have not yet stopped this request."
"Injured? I'm afraid it's Lao Liu."
Wei Zhong has never believed this kind of information.
Some people even regard it as the middle or even late stage of foundation building.
As for Jindan, that should be impossible. Qingmu Sect would not allow Jindan cultivators who were not from their side to stay so close to them.
If you become a Jindan guest official of Qingmu Sect, just announce it openly. Why hide your identity and pretend to be building a foundation?
'It's worth doing.'
Wei Zhong made up his mind in a flash.
And Wei Zhong was also very satisfied with the Li family's sacred land.
Located in Haiyue Lake, it has two second-level spiritual islands, namely the second-level middle-grade spiritual vein and the second-level lower-grade spiritual vein, as well as several scattered first-level islands.
The sacred island in the lake is just right for Wei Zhong to practice "The Art of Water Refining in the Spring and Autumn Period".
