Volume 1 Chapter 51 Clues
Shi Yan seemed to have some understanding. It turned out that good fire alone could not produce good pills. Good fire had to be combined with good materials to produce corresponding good pills.
Cang Lan added, "You already possess the rank-5 cold fire and the high-rank rank-5 golden crow fire, so there is no need to look for inferior fires."
"So what do you mean, find good materials?" Shi Yan suddenly had a headache. He learned the art of alchemy to earn spirit stones. Now, he hasn't made a single pill yet and he still has to find good materials. He rolled his eyes at Canglan and thought to himself: Do you think it's so easy to find good spiritual flowers? It took a lot of effort to find a third-grade red sandalwood flower. Now I have to find so many high-level spiritual flowers. Won't I be exhausted to death?
"The first thing you need to do is to contract a spirit beast!" Canglan said.
"Contract a spirit beast? Are you asking me to capture a spirit beast?"
Seeing Canglan nod, Shi Yan slapped his head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that!"
Although Shi Yan has not yet established his foundation, he has cultivated his own spirit in advance because of the extreme yin and yang forces in his body. After possessing his own spirit, he can contract with spirit beasts and capture them. Since he does not need to look for the bad fire, the spirit beast with the contracted fire attribute can just fill this gap.
"The place where the fire-attributed spirit beasts of Zimu Liuhua Territory gather is near the Red Lotus Volcano in the Wood Forest. You can go there to find a spirit beast tomorrow."
Red Lotus Volcano?
Shi Yan was stunned. He had heard of the Red Lotus Volcano for a long time, but he had never been there. The reason was the outer Wood Forest. The Wood Forest was called the vast forest in the Zimu Liuhua Domain. Two trees make a forest, and three trees make a forest. You can imagine how vast the forest is. The spirit beasts inside are of high quality. For example, when Shi Yan was in the third level of Huamai before, he couldn't even go into the outer periphery.
"Oh, by the way, take Yi'er with you tomorrow and let her practice. The path of cultivation is to make progress through constant trials, not to practice in isolation. Letting her go out more often will be beneficial to her future practice."
Shi Yan nodded, put away the copper stove, and went back to the house to organize his things.
Just as Yan stepped into the house, a muffled sound came from the sky and a brilliant light appeared.
Someone in the sect has established a foundation!
Foundation building, known as the first hurdle for cultivators, is indeed extraordinary!
Shi Yan quickly ran towards the direction where the glow was. He had practiced Chaoyang Fengwu so well that he arrived at the place where the glow appeared in a short while.
Shi Yan stopped and looked around, and was stunned, "Isn't this Mingxiang's house?"
After Shi Yan, people began to arrive one after another, mostly outer disciples. Most of them looked at the house that was emitting brilliant rays of light with envy.
Suddenly, the glow stopped, and quickly flew back, sweeping back to the house. A light shout came from inside the house, and a huge force burst out instantly, and everyone hurriedly retreated.
A heat wave swept past, and the large house was destroyed in half by this wave of air.
A figure suddenly appeared. It was the second uncle. She looked at Mingxiang sitting on the cushion with a smile and was extremely happy.
Mingxiang was her disciple and was quite popular with her. She was also quite business-minded and managed the Neizitang in an orderly manner. However, her cultivation had been stagnant at the peak of the Huamai Heavy Heaven and could not break through, which made her anxious for a while. For things like building a foundation, external forces could not help, and one could only rely on one's own efforts.
Finally, Mingxiang succeeded in building the foundation on this day!
"Congratulations, Aunt Hua!" Hua Ruo appeared beside Second Uncle and said with a smile.
"This child has finally established her foundation. This way, we don't have to worry about her being bullied after we leave." Second Uncle's eyes were blurred. "Miss, it's been so many years since you came to Daohuajian Sect."
Hua Ruo also sighed, "Yes, in this world, only time is like a flying sword, fleeting and irretrievable, leaving people overwhelmed."
Second Uncle looked at Shi Yan in the distance and said, "Our mission here has been completed. It's time to leave."
Hua Ruo nodded, "Yes, everything is on track, without any deviation. When we get to him, our mission will be completed. Now it's up to him."
"Look, my natal spirit!" someone suddenly shouted.
As everyone looked over, they saw the rays of light gradually condense into a lotus. The lotus leaf was shield-shaped and round, dark green on the surface, covered with waxy white powder, and gray-green on the back, with the entire edge and wavy. The petiole was cylindrical, densely covered with barbs. The flower grew solitary at the top of the pedicel, high above the water surface. The flower was crystal clear, like a crystal sculpture, emitting a faint glow.
"Crystal Lotus." Shi Yan couldn't help but sigh. This kind of crystal clear lotus was the first time he had seen it.
The crystal lotus seems to be transmitting Buddhist sounds, which calms the mind and heart.
Mingxiang's innate spirit finally took shape. She exhaled, took back her innate spirit, opened her eyes, and her eyes revealed excitement.
She suddenly disappeared from where she was and appeared in front of Second Uncle Hua Ruo, "Master, Mingxiang has established his foundation!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Second Uncle helped her up and said okay three times.
On the other side, Tang Xi and Ni Hong watched what was happening here with cold eyes.
Tang Xi snorted coldly, "It seems that their power has increased a lot!"
There weren't many people in Huajian Sect who were at the foundation building stage. There were no other people who had condensed their meridians except Mo Zixuan, Xu Zuoxian and Ni Hong, and there were only two people who had built their foundation. At first glance, the current situation seemed to be that only one person was building his foundation, but Tang Xi saw that the balance that had originally tilted towards him was tending to return to balance.
"Since Shi Yan became the head disciple, this trend has become more obvious. I didn't expect that he actually had a close relationship with Gong Yangyu, which caused my plan to fail."
"Master, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to become the master's personal disciple." Ni Hong suddenly said.
"Oh?" Tang Xi looked at her with interest and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ni Hong smiled slightly and told Tang Xi what happened. Tang Xi was stunned at first, then smiled knowingly after a moment.
"Shi Yan, if I were to ask you, are you lucky or unlucky?" She turned her head and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"
Ni Hong shook her head. "Except You Haoran, no one knows."
Tang Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay, tell You Haoran not to easily expose this matter. We need to find a better time."
"Yes, disciple understands!"
"By the way, how are you and You Haoran doing recently?" Tang Xi suddenly asked, "Although his status in Qingmeng Villa is not high, it is worth our use. It is not impossible to give him some benefits when necessary."
Ni Hong said: "He is still the same. Although he pursues me, he is not too strict. I will grasp the opportunity well."
"That's good. You are my disciple. I can trust you when you do things." Tang Xi's eyes suddenly became fierce. "Perhaps, when I seize the position of the head, I will still need his help!"
Mingxiang's foundation-building last night gave great encouragement to everyone. After everyone went back, almost no one slept and they all began to practice silently. For a while, the atmosphere of Huajian Sect's outer sect practice was elevated by several levels.
Although Shi Yan admired it, he did not practice hard like others. He did not have that obsession in his heart. He thought that cultivation was not something that could be improved in a short time. It required accumulation and a bit of luck. When the time came, the foundation would naturally come naturally. So he continued to do his own thing. In essence, he was a lazy person. He worked so hard now just to be lazy in the future.
Now that Mingxiang has established her foundation, he plans to invite Mingxiang to go to the Lotus Volcano together. After all, she has already cultivated her innate spirit, and it is time to capture a spirit beast.
Mingxiang was obviously very interested after hearing Shi Yan's idea, but she had to postpone it for a few days. She had just established her foundation last night, and her second uncle still had a lot of things to explain.
Fortunately, Shi Yan was not very anxious, and Ye Yier had not yet woken up from her meditation, so it would be okay to wait for a few days.
He took this opportunity to go to Konghai to take a look. He found that the business of his stall was pretty good. Although there were not as many customers as he had expected, compared with other stalls, the flow of people in front of his stall was obviously much larger.
"Uncle Cheng, how is it? Are you used to it here?"
Mo Cheng looked radiant, looking much better than when he was in the Village of Doom. When he saw Shi Yan coming, he hurried out to greet him, "Boss Shi, things are very good here. Look, in just a few days, we have sold seven first-grade spirit beast eggs, a total of one third-grade spirit stone and twenty second-grade spirit stones. I have never seen so many spirit stones before!"
Seeing him so excited, Shi Yan was also happy. After all, Shi Yan couldn't come here often, and this stall still needed Mo Cheng to be in charge. And he had no complaints, which was the best thing for Shi Yan.
"Haha, Uncle Cheng, don't be happy too soon. Our business will definitely be much better in the future. Don't be so angry when the time comes!" Shi Yan joked.
"Boss Shi, I don't know how to thank you."
"No, I should be the one thanking you. You see, I'm often busy, and this stall still needs your care."
Mo Cheng smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm bored if I don't work for a day. Now I think it's just right."
After returning to Dongleng Valley, Shi Yan had nothing to do, so he took out the overtone conch.
This is the first time he has used this coral snail since he bought it. He was busy a while ago and had forgotten about it. He only remembered it now that he has some free time.
After the spiritual power was injected, the surface of the conch began to glow and change color. The parasitic corals swayed in the air, and a melodious sound came out from inside:
"The riots of the Puppet Family in the Mingjing Domain that lasted for several months finally subsided today. According to insiders, the former second in command, Mo Tianbo, won the position of the head of the family and became the head of the Puppet Family. The former head of the family was imprisoned for several days. However, the original heir disappeared and there is still no news."
"Follow-up to the Northern Territory Dragon Shadow Incident. One month ago, according to relevant sources, a real dragon's shadow appeared in the Northern Territory. The three major sects in the Northern Territory joined forces to force their way into the dragon's cave in search of the real dragon, but now they have returned in defeat..."
"Bang!" Shi Yanhuo stood up!
