Chapter 176 Leng Mei's Surprise
Xu Changshou took out a spirit-gathering pill and gently put it into his mouth. The pill turned into a vast amount of spiritual energy, instantly filling Xu Changshou's body.
"Spirit Gathering Pill, ah, Spirit Gathering Pill, don't let me down."
At this time, Xu Changshou was counting on the Spirit Gathering Pill. If the Spirit Gathering Pill was not effective enough, then he would never be able to form a pill in this life.
In that case, Xu Changshou could lie down and enjoy the next three hundred years. He could get married and have children. His focus in the future would not need to be on cultivation.
Huhuhu~
The vast spiritual energy entered Xu Changshou's meridians from his limbs and bones, and finally entered his dantian as the exercises were practiced.
After all the spiritual energy transformed from the elixir was absorbed, Xu Changshou opened his eyes. At this time, it was already evening outside the window.
It also took nearly a day and a night to digest this Spirit Gathering Pill, but the effect was completely different.
It is said that the effect of the Spirit Gathering Pill is ten times that of the Qi Gathering Pill. In fact, it is not the case. The price is ten times, but the effect is only about three or four times.
However, three or four times is enough.
Xu Changshou felt that if he persisted in practicing with the Spirit Gathering Pill, he would be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building in fifteen years.
Breaking through the realm in fifteen years is definitely very fast.
Of course, fifteen years is still an ideal number if you practice every day.
It is impossible for Xu Changshou to practice every day, so the timeline will have to be extended, even if it is twenty years.
Breaking through a realm in twenty years is considered very fast.
However, the required number of spirit stones is also an astronomical figure.
One Qi Gathering Pill a day is equivalent to one hundred spirit stones a day, which means thirty-six thousand five hundred spirit stones a year, thirty-sixty-five thousand spirit stones in ten years, and five hundred forty-seven thousand five hundred spirit stones in fifteen years.
"This……"
After a rough calculation, Xu Changshou was dumbfounded.
Roughly speaking, it has been sixteen or seventeen years since he entered the world of immortal cultivation.
In the past sixteen or seventeen years, the total amount of spirit stones he earned might not even reach ten thousand.
More than 540,000 spirit stones, what a concept! Xu Changshou felt tremendous pressure.
He must earn one hundred spirit stones every day and three thousand spirit stones a month to ensure the fastest cultivation speed. Only by maintaining this cultivation speed can he have a chance of forming a pill.
It's just a possibility, not a certainty.
The cultivation of the foundation-building realm is a process of accumulation, from the early stage of foundation-building, to the middle stage of foundation-building, to the late stage of foundation-building, and finally to the great perfection of foundation-building.
The amount of spiritual energy required for each advancement in realm is the same.
It is different from refining Qi. Refining equipment also accumulates the amount of energy, but while accumulating the amount, it also compresses the spiritual energy. Therefore, the later realms are more difficult to improve than the previous realms.
When it comes to the Golden Core Realm, it is completely compressed, and it is compressed all the time. Every bit of compression requires terrifying spiritual energy. Therefore, the cultivation in the Golden Core Realm becomes more and more difficult as time goes by. The Foundation Establishment Realm is relatively simple, and it is just a matter of piling up the amount.
Even if it's just the amount, it's terrifying for Xu Changshou. Each level requires more than 540,000 spirit stones. The third level requires more than 1.6 million spirit stones. This is just for taking pills, not counting other expenses.
If all other expenses are included, it will be around two million.
If you calculate it this way, on average, Xu Changshou's monthly income cannot be less than 3,500 spirit stones. If it is less than 3,500 spirit stones, he will not be able to survive.
The more Xu Changshou calculated, the more frightened he became, and the more pressure he felt.
Forget it, it’s so tiring to form the elixir, I might as well lie down.
Xu Changshou was a little discouraged.
No, you can't lie down.
Life is short, like the season of grass and trees. If you can’t form the elixir, your three hundred years of life will be just a blink of an eye.
Now that you have established the foundation and reached this level, why not go to the next level?
I want to form the elixir.
Xu Changshou secretly encouraged himself, and then began to think.
Since I want to form a pill, the next thing I should think about is how to make money.
He can draw talismans, especially second-grade spiritual talismans that no one else can draw. If the second-grade talismans he draws can be sold without limit, he will definitely make a lot of money.
But the problem is that in this world of cultivating immortals, he is the only one who can draw second-grade talismans. If he takes out a large number of second-grade talismans to sell outside, he will definitely make others jealous.
A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. If he dares to sell a lot of talismans, he will surely die before he can form a pill.
But if you don’t sell in large quantities and just sell secretly, you may not be able to collect enough spirit stones.
It would be best if we could come up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds, selling talismans in large quantities while ensuring safety.
This is not easy. After thinking for a long time, Xu Changshou still couldn't think of any good solution.
Forget it, let’s continue practicing.
Unable to think of a good idea, Xu Changshou simply gave up thinking about it, took out a Spirit Gathering Pill and continued practicing.
Taiyifeng.
Li Linger steered the white jade boat and came to the Taoist temple of her master Leng Mei.
I heard that Leng Mei came out of seclusion today, and she came to pay her respects.
When we arrived at Leng Mei's dojo, Leng Mei had already come out of seclusion and was sitting on the edge of the cliff with his eyes closed, resting.
"Congratulations, Master."
Li Linger blinked and came to Leng Mei's side.
He glanced at Li Ling'er with cold eyebrows, and a smile could not help but appear in his cold eyes.
"Ling'er is here."
"Ok!"
Li Ling'er sat beside Leng Mei, looked at the faint white clouds, and said with a pout, "Master, I also want to build a foundation."
"Oh?"
Leng Mei raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Ling'er, why do you suddenly want to build your foundation? Are you stimulated?"
Li Linger curled her lips and said, "Brother Changshou has already established his foundation, I want to do the same."
"What! You said that errand disciple Xu Changshou has reached the foundation building stage!!!"
Leng Mei was very surprised. She had quite an impression of Xu Changshou.
Because he is Li Ling'er's guide, Li Ling'er is very dependent on him.
At first, Leng Mei was very opposed to Li Linger playing with Xu Changshou, thinking that Li Changshou was just a menial disciple and would affect Li Linger's cultivation.
Li Linger insisted on playing with Xu Changshou, and Leng Mei was helpless, especially after Li Linger's cultivation reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. She had nothing to do and would go to Xu Changshou at every turn.
Leng Mei felt that Li Linger didn't need to practice at this time, so she didn't try to stop her. After Li Linger established her foundation, she and Xu Changshou would become people from two different worlds. By then, even if she didn't care, Li Linger would automatically dislike Xu Changshou.
So, when Li Linger went to play with Xu Changshou, Leng Mei simply turned a blind eye.
She knew that their relationship would not last and would sooner or later become alienated due to the difference in their status.
Unexpectedly, Xu Changshou actually succeeded in building his foundation. What does this mean? It means that for a long time, Li Linger's cultivation level cannot surpass Xu Changshou.
In fact, as long as Li Linger doesn't form a pill, they are still people of the same level.
In this way, their relationship will definitely not become distant in a short period of time. It is even possible that Li Linger will develop feelings for Xu Changshou as she grows older.
