"Come, come with me."
With that, the old man led Lin Xiaofei toward a spirit field in the backyard.
Seeing that they hadn't arrived at their destination yet, Lin Xiaofei asked directly:
"Senior, I have now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. I wonder if our sect can trade for a Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"Don't call me senior. Your cultivation level is one level higher than mine. If we're talking about cultivation level, I should call you senior. How about this, I joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance before you, so you can just call me Senior Brother Li."
Then the old man spoke again:
Our sect is naturally able to trade for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Every five years, our sect will refine thirty Foundation Establishment Pills. Our Bai Xuefeng sect will receive twelve Foundation Establishment Pills, while Shi Jianfeng and Xiao Huofeng will each receive nine.
However, there are many people vying for Foundation Establishment Pills, and only those who have been disciples of the sect for more than three years and are ranked according to their contribution points can participate in the Foundation Establishment Pill trade.
"I see you're still young. Focus on consolidating your cultivation level. In three years, you'll be qualified to compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Lin Xiaofei nodded, thinking to himself:
As expected, Foundation Establishment Pills are not so easy to obtain; it will take three years, which is too long for me.
It seems I still need to hurry and collect the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible.
Then he asked about some other things.
For example, the contribution points mentioned by the other party are the points you receive after completing a task within your faction and submitting it.
Contribution points can only be used within the Loose Cultivator Alliance and can be exchanged for magical artifacts, spiritual weapons, spiritual herbs, and other items.
Moreover, one contribution point is equivalent to two low-grade spirit stones. These contribution points are worth twice as much as spirit stones. This rule was set up to encourage disciples to do more tasks.
"Senior Brother Li, I am a spirit plant master and I am very interested in spirit herbs. I wonder how our sect usually sells low-grade and first-grade spirit herbs?"
Lin Xiaofei chatted with his senior brother Li while asking him for the information he wanted to know.
"If you use contribution points to exchange for low-grade spiritual herbs, each herb costs seven contribution points. If you use them to exchange for first-grade spiritual herbs, you'll need at least a thousand contribution points."
Of course, you can also trade with low-grade spirit stones, but the price will be double the contribution points.
If you want to buy the sect's spiritual herbs, it's best to complete more tasks and earn contribution points, which is more cost-effective than using spirit stones.
Senior Brother Li pondered for a moment, then spoke.
“A low-grade spirit herb costs fourteen low-grade spirit stones, while a first-grade spirit plant costs at least two thousand low-grade spirit stones. These prices are higher than in the outside world.”
Lin Xiaofei nodded, thinking to himself.
He knew that the Chaoxue Mountains were a large snow mountain range, which made it difficult to cultivate spiritual herbs, hence the slightly high price of the herbs.
However, this is nothing to him.
As long as he can trade for spiritual herbs here, or find out about the spiritual herbs used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, this would be very good news for him.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance is a major sect of immortal cultivation, divided into three main peaks. White Snow Peak alone has more than two thousand people. It is conceivable that the quantity of spiritual herbs needed to supply the three main peaks must be enormous.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofei guessed that there must be quite a few spirit fields within the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
He planned to blend in and pick some spiritual herbs to plant in his spatial bead.
"This acre of low-grade spirit field is for testing purposes, and it contains some low-grade spirit herbs."
Because they are often neglected, the low-grade spiritual herbs here have barely grown and look like they are about to die.
I'll give you an hour. With your skills as a plant master, if you can revive a low-level spiritual herb that's barely alive and grow it into tender leaves, then you'll be considered a first-grade, beginner-level plant master.
If you can plant and restore the vitality of ten low-grade spiritual herbs, it means you are a mid-level first-grade spiritual plant master.
If you can restore fifty plants, then you will be a high-level first-grade spirit plant master.
As he spoke, Senior Brother Li pointed to a patch of snow-covered land not far away and added, "
"Alright, you can continue planting here on your own. I'll go back and register the other people's information, and then I'll come back to check your results later."
Nodding, Lin Xiaofei looked at the square acre of snow-covered land in front of him. The white ground was dotted with green lights, and more than 300 orchids were growing there.
These orchid flowers, their green leaves almost curled up and contracted, as if they were about to wither and die at any moment.
"Okay, Senior Brother Li, you can go ahead and get busy."
Lin Xiaofei said with a smile, secretly delighted.
He was wondering how to get rid of the other party when, unexpectedly, Senior Brother Li left on his own initiative.
Watching Li Shige's departing figure, Lin Xiaofei smiled, walked to a blue orchid, plucked it, and then reached into the spatial bead to plant it inside.
In this way, he uprooted fifty orchid-tailed spirit herbs and planted them all inside the space bead.
"Haha, my spatial bead is truly amazing. As long as the spiritual plants are not completely withered, they can quickly survive on the black soil, just like they have just grown out of the ground in spring."
Muttering to himself, Lin Xiaofei looked at the orchid-tailed spirit herb inside the spatial bead, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him. He whispered, "..."
"I'll cast a small spiritual rain spell; I estimate that these spiritual herbs will regain their vitality in a short while."
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei waved his hand, and a dense mass of spiritual energy appeared in the air above the spatial bead, falling like raindrops to nourish each orchid-tail flower spirit herb.
One breath passed, five breaths passed, ten breaths passed.
In the blink of an eye, a minute later, Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up as he saw the fifty withered orchids gradually turning green again, their curled green leaves straightening as if they were stretching.
Before long, Lin Xiaofei saw that all fifty orchids had regained their vitality. Taking advantage of Li Shige's absence, he quickly pulled them out of the spatial bead and replanted them in the snow.
"Haha, Junior Brother Lin is not only an elite Qi Refining Level 9 disciple, but also a Rank 1 High-level Spirit Plant Master. That's truly astonishing."
Presumably, Junior Brother Lin's spiritual root must contain a good wood spiritual root.
Otherwise, how could you possibly revive fifty nearly dead orchid plants in just one hour?
As he spoke, Senior Brother Li looked surprised. He was already surprised that Lin Xiaofei was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he never expected that such a young man would also be a high-level spirit plant master.
After thinking about it, he felt it was quite normal. As a former rogue cultivator, he knew that almost every cultivator who could reach the ninth level of Qi Refining had encountered various opportunities and fortuitous events.
"Really? I never expected that I would have such a good wood spirit root."
Lin Xiaofei spoke politely, but he knew in his heart that it was hard to say whether he had a wood spirit root, after all, he was not a real spirit plant master, but just an imposter.
