Chapter 19 Is there a foundation-building pill?

Six months have passed since Ji Zuo last came to guide them.

Ji Qingling's parents have been to the black crystal mine three times.

Now everyone has some understanding of the situation in the mine.

The largest number of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage are responsible for the hardest work - mining.

The foundation-building monks with higher cultivation levels are responsible for guarding the mine because there are monsters called molesting beasts in the mine.

Moleskin usually feed on black crystal ore, so there will naturally be conflicts between humans and animals.

The task of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is to patrol and protect the tribe members.

As for the few Jindan elders, they take turns to be in charge of the mine.

The Black Sun Mine itself is hard in texture, and mining it consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

Therefore, when the spiritual energy is exhausted during mining, it can be restored on the spot. Although it is hard work, it is extremely helpful for cultivation.

During these few months, Mo Sanniang's cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Now all you need is one foundation-building pill to start your retreat and breakthrough.

Ji Linhai went to find Ji He, who was also very enthusiastic and agreed to help him submit the application.

But day after day, the response was like a stone falling on deaf ears.

On this day, Ji Qingling went from shop to shop asking about the news of Foundation Establishment Pill as usual.

Everyone agreed that they could not place all their hopes on the family.

The spirit stones had been prepared long ago, but there was no trace of the Foundation Establishment Pill on the market.

As she was about to step into the last store, she saw someone she knew.

Manager Ji Jiadong whom I met when I first came to Tongcheng.

Subconsciously, she didn't want him to see her, so she moved to the side.

Fortunately, the monk's five senses are particularly sensitive and he can hear the conversation inside clearly.

"Manager Dong, please take a look. This is the account for last month. The pills you brought a few days ago have all been sold out, especially the bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill, which was reserved long ago. Many of the other pills were also sold."

Ji Qingling stretched his head to look at the shop sign, Changshengtang.

This is the Ji family's shop? So they have the Foundation Establishment Pills but they just won't give them to you?

In fact, she knew that it was unlikely that the family would give them the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as they arrived in Tongcheng and asked for it.

But she heard from the village chief and Uncle Qingshan that if anyone in the family wanted to build a foundation, they just needed to report it and the family would provide it.

Well, she didn't know much about this kind of family group.

She squatted in front of a stall outside Changsheng Hall and picked up things here and there.

"Young lady, you have a good eye. This is something that a Jindan senior obtained in a secret realm."

The stall owner saw that Ji Qingling seemed very interested in what he was selling and thought that it would be easiest to trick a girl like this.

Ji Qingling's mind was not on this at all, and only then did he realize that he was holding a jade bead in his hand.

"Daoyou, how much is this?"

"I think the girl has a connection with this treasure, so just give her ten spirit stones."

Ji Qingling then looked up at him, and the stall owner opposite him had an expression on his face that said, "I'm selling this to you at a loss."

How cruel! He costs ten spirit stones for such a small jade bead. I can't feel any spiritual power when I hold it in my hand. I'm afraid it's just a bead that fell from the hairpin of a mortal woman.

"It's too expensive, I can't afford it." Why hasn't the building manager come out yet?

The stall owner thought she was going to leave, so he shouted at her, "Hey, hey, girl, don't leave. I'll give you a discount. This is really a good thing."

At this time, the manager of the main building came out from Changsheng Hall. She lowered her head and pretended to study it carefully.

"How about it? Take the five spirit stones. Come back to me next time if you want to buy something."

Ji Qingling was very annoyed, but was afraid that he would shout louder and attract other people's attention.

"Boss, I only have one spiritual stone. If you can sell it, I'll take it."

Thinking that this kind of bargaining method will make the boss give up.

"Okay, okay, take it, take it." As he said that, he stuffed the jade bead into Ji Qingling's hand.

Anyway, he didn't remember where the jade bead came from. It didn't have any spiritual power. He was afraid that it must have fallen from the jewelry of some mortal woman.

…

Ji Qingling was stunned.

Boss, please struggle a bit. This is against the rules.

Fortunately, if she didn't lower the price, she probably wouldn't let her go today.

He reluctantly took out a spirit stone, stuffed the jade bead into the storage bag, and turned to enter the Changsheng Hall.

"Boss, do you have any foundation-building pills?"

"Oh, unfortunately, a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill did arrive, but it was sold out a long time ago."

"When will the next one happen?"

"It's hard to say. Someone has already ordered it. Even if there is one more bottle, there won't be enough to share."

"Can I take one out of the bottle?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Little girl, I'm sorry, there really aren't enough points."

The shopkeeper watched the little girl come out alone to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, and wondered if she was the disciple of some casual cultivator.

This Foundation Establishment Pill has always been a hot commodity. Experienced independent cultivators naturally know that in addition to buying a pill, one must also buy many other things in the store, and you must also be a regular customer of this store.

Not to mention that there is no money now, even if there is, it is impossible to sell it to this little girl who knows nothing and is a stranger.

I'm afraid that all her master's belongings would only be enough to buy one foundation-building pill.

If Ji Qingling knew what the shopkeeper was thinking, he would probably give him a thumbs up.

Such professional distribution and sales skills, amazing.

And in a sense, boss, you have revealed the truth.

All the belongings of Ji Qingling's family of four were only enough to buy one foundation-building pill.

After some negotiations, Ji Qingling was sure that the shopkeeper meant that the Foundation Establishment Pills were reserved for old customers.

She returned home, pulled Ji Qingyuan aside, and told him what happened to the building manager today.

The two discussed it and decided to clarify a few things first.

First of all, did Ji He report this matter to his superiors?

Or maybe the building manager knew about this and chose to ignore it.

What is the standard for the Ji family to distribute foundation-building pills? The two decided to act separately, and Ji Qingyuan went to find Ji He to test him.

Ji Qingling went to find out how a family would distribute Foundation Establishment Pills to its members.

Ji Qingling walked out of his own yard, knocked on the door of the next yard, and took out a small basket of peaches from his storage bag.

Zhou Fangping opened the gate and saw the little girl next door standing at the door with a basket of peaches in her hand, smiling.

"Hello, Aunt Zhou. These are the fruits we picked when we went to the mountains to hunt monsters yesterday. They are delicious and have spiritual energy."

Ji Qingling said this and walked into the yard and placed the peach on the stone table in the yard.

"I picked a lot, so I wanted to bring some over for Aunt to taste. Thank you for showing me the way last time."

Zhou Fangping smiled and said, "You are too polite, kid. I just pointed out the way to go. Why do you need to come and thank me specially?"

"Yes, yes."

Then he picked the biggest peach and put it in her hand, "Try it, it's delicious."

Looking at the lively little girl, Zhou Fangping felt soft in her heart.

She has been married to her husband Ji Youli for many years, but they have never had a child of their own, which is somewhat regrettable.

Although there are many people who practice Taoism and are devoted to it, they will never get married or have children in their lifetime.

However, in a cultivation family, having children is something that the family is very supportive of.

Only when the population is prosperous will more children with excellent qualifications appear.
