Chapter 19 Jiang Weiqing's Foundation Establishment Failure

And those people pushed the door open and walked in without any courtesy.

Seeing Jiang Weiqing leave, the leading disciple laughed contemptuously, "This traitor should be taught a lesson!"

"Yes, the Peak Master treated him so well, he is such an ungrateful person."

"It's good that he left. A spot for the direct disciple has been vacated. We all have a chance."

"He doesn't want to be his personal disciple, but we are very eager to have him."

…

It was already late at night when Jiang Weiqing left the inn. The lights on both sides of the street gradually went out, leaving only the faint light coming from a few teahouses.

He walked along the remote alleys, passed through the town and stopped in front of an abandoned temple.

The statue on the altar in the dilapidated temple was already broken, half of its face was blackened by smoke and fire, and it was surrounded by weeds.

Jiang Weiqing threw down his bag and sat down cross-legged, with the sword in his hand across his knees.

We must not let today’s shame go like this!

He wants to build a foundation and then seek revenge on these people!

Jiang Weiqing closed his eyes and began to practice his skills.

Spiritual power flowed along his meridians, and he gritted his teeth and pushed the true energy in his body to the limit.

But after the spiritual power gathered in the dantian to a certain level, it seemed to have hit an invisible barrier and was stuck there. No matter how he urged it, he could not break through that barrier.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and spiritual energy in his body was circulating rapidly in his meridians, squeezing his flesh and blood so hard that it caused a dull pain.

"Break it... for me!" He growled, the veins on the back of his hand taut.

However, the barrier did not move at all. Instead, the strong impact of spiritual power made his breathing disordered and he almost went crazy.

Jiang Weiqing suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, his heart beating like a drum, his forehead and neck were covered in cold sweat, soaking his clothes.

how so?

He knew that the barrier from Qi training to foundation building was difficult for many cultivators to break through, but he had clearly established the foundation very smoothly in his previous life and even broke through to the middle stage of foundation building in one fell swoop. Why couldn't he do it now?

No... He didn't believe he would fail, he had to take this step!

…

On the other side, Shen Yubai sat cross-legged in the quiet room, with fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

There was an ancient ink-colored book in front of him.

It was the Divine Control Chapter that Ye Wange gave him. He believed that this was an unparalleled opportunity and practiced diligently day and night.

But now, he has been practicing for a full half month, and not only has his cultivation level stagnated, but as his practice deepens, the foundation-building spiritual platform above his dantian has even shown signs of cracking.

How could this be...

Shen Yubai was full of confusion and suddenly remembered his past life.

At that time, his cultivation had also stagnated until he took the Divine Essence Pill given to him by Ye Zhao, and then he made rapid progress.

Thinking of this, he hurried out of the cave and asked a fellow disciple passing by: "Wait, I want to ask you something. Do you know where I can find the Divine Essence Pill?"

The other party shook his head in confusion: "What is Divine Essence Pill? I've never heard of it."

Shen Yubai asked several more people.

Gu Xingzhi also encountered the same trouble.

He knelt on the couch, the hot breath rushing through his meridians, burning his internal organs as if they were being churned by a fire knife, and cold sweat rolled down his temples.

He clenched his teeth, almost biting his lips, and suddenly remembered his previous life. It was only after taking the Divine Essence Pill that he completely eradicated the fire poison in his body.

It seems that in addition to Dinghuo Guiyuan Pill, there are other pills that can solve his troubles.

Dinghuo Guiyuan Pill needs to be taken for a long time, but Shensui Pill only needs one. Even if this pill is difficult to obtain, he must find a way to get it.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingzhi hurriedly got up and went straight to the Pharmacy Hall.

——

In the Medicine Hall.

Elder Siyao heard footsteps and looked up impatiently: "You again? What are you doing here this time?"

Gu Xingzhi endured the severe pain brought by the fire poison and clasped his fists, saying, "Elder, I would like to ask you to help me find a pill. This pill is called the Divine Essence Pill. It can eradicate the fire poison in my body and also change my root bones and physique. As long as you can get the pill, I am willing to pay any price."

"Nonsense!" Elder Si Yao snorted coldly, "Where in the world can you find a pill that can change a person's constitution? It's just a foolish dream!"

Gu Xingzhi said anxiously, "Elder, I am not talking nonsense. This elixir does have..."

"Enough!" Elder Siyao's voice sank, his eyes full of impatience.

"I advise you to practice diligently and stop thinking about shortcuts! You're just an inner sect disciple, and you haven't even formed a golden elixir yet, yet you're dreaming of some magical elixir that can change your fate?"

He paused, his sarcasm growing stronger as he spoke. "Even if such a heaven-defying elixir truly existed, it wouldn't be yours! The Sect Master, the Seven Peak Masters, and even the sect's most talented disciples would enjoy it first. How could they possibly waste it on an ordinary disciple like you?"

Gu Xingzhi's chest was heaving violently, and he had so much to say that he couldn't get it out.

He wanted to say that not only did Ye Zhao have this kind of pill, but in his previous life he had also prepared six of them and gave one to each of them.

At that time, they accepted whatever Ye Zhao gave them, and did not think that there was anything special about this pill.

But now it seems that without this elixir, he really can't continue his cultivation...

But he knew that if he said anything more at this time he would only be kicked out, so he suppressed his anger and turned away.

Ye Zhao was only at the Jindan stage, but they entered the Shenhua stage shortly afterwards.

Since Ye Zhao was able to find the elixir for them, they would definitely be able to find it themselves.

Even if he didn't get it from the sect, he would try his best to get it.

…

A small courtyard in the woods at the foot of the mountain.

Pei Yan sat upright on the stone platform, his forehead covered with sweat. His spiritual power flowed slowly in his meridians, as if blocked by something, making it difficult for him to move.

Yun Yao, who was not far away, finished her training and opened her eyes, a look of annoyance on her face.

"Brother Pei, the spiritual energy here is too thin... I practiced all morning, but gained less than what I gained from practicing for a stick of incense at Qingyue Peak."

Pei Yan opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered his previous life. At that time, he was also struggling with the bottleneck period of cultivation. It was not until Ye Zhao gave him a divine essence pill that he was able to break through the bottleneck.

Thinking of this, a flash of enlightenment came to his mind.

Perhaps, the reason why he is practicing slowly now is because he did not take the Divine Essence Pill.

"Yao'er, don't worry." Pei Yan calmed down and said soothingly, "I'll find a way. Once I find the Divine Essence Pill, your cultivation speed will be even faster than before."

Like Pei Yan and Shen Yubai, they also asked around for information about the Divine Essence Pill, but of course they found nothing.

There was really no other way, so he took out a communication talisman, chanted a spell, and the talisman light turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Soon, Gu Xingzhi and Shen Yubai both stepped into the courtyard.

Considering the recent actions of several people rebelling against their master, they quickly guessed that the other party had been reborn. The three of them met in the yard, exchanged a few brief greetings, and then got straight to the point.
