Chapter 274 [(*^▽^*)]
You should know that it will take another 80 to 90 years to grow the Jade Mountain Flower to the point where it can be picked. Even if it is grown into a mature plant, the amount picked at the beginning is very small.
And it just barely reaches the minimum standard for picking. If you want to have a higher probability of refining it into a pill, the older the spiritual plant, the better.
Especially... I don’t know the specific pill formula yet, and I don’t have other spiritual plants. If I grow it, I can only sell it for money.
I also have to worry about other people coveting it.
In other words, even if they know that this is the Jade Mountain Flower, it is estimated that it will not sell for much.
Ming Fanxing showed an interested look, "I have never seen a spiritual plant before, I am quite interested, I wonder if this senior brother is willing to give it up?"
The other party did not hesitate and agreed with a smile.
"It is an honor for you to like it. Even if it is valuable, it is only a young plant. If you take out a third-grade foundation-building pill, I will exchange it with you."
Ming Fanxing did not hesitate. One pill can be exchanged for one of the main ingredients for refining Xuanhuang Pill. This is a very good deal.
Of course, this Yushan Flower must be planted in the large array in the space for eight or nine years before it can be picked, but it doesn't matter. Anyway...
he must wait until the Jindan stage before he has the opportunity to use it. Xuanhuang Pill is a third-grade pill, which is not something he can refine now. By then, 10 to 20 years will have passed, enough for the Yushan Flower to mature.
He immediately took out a foundation-building pill and handed it to the other party, and then the two of them completed the exchange smoothly. Ming Fanxing put the spiritual plant in a box, threw it into the space and handed it to his Taiyin clone.
Although everyone was envious of the other party for exchanging an unknown young spiritual plant for a third-grade foundation-building pill, it was not to the point of jealousy.
After all, it was just a pill.
No one looked down on the remaining spiritual plants. Of course, these people must have better things in their hands, but good things are not to be shown at such a small gathering.
Either they are not enough or they can't afford it. The alchemists who can be on good terms with Hu Yumeng have big families behind them, and there are always some good things hidden in the bottom of the box.
But looking at them like this, I don't think we will see it this time.
After the seemingly minor trade fair ended, Hu Yumeng found an excuse to send them all away, leaving only Ming Fanxing.
The two moved to the attic far away from Taoyuan and sat down.
Hu Yumeng, "Junior Brother Ming, they are all gone, are they..."
Ming Fanxing did not waste words and took out a jade bottle and handed it to him, "Brother Hu, take a look."
Hu Yumeng took it with a smile, and there were indeed five third-grade foundation-building pills in it. He immediately accepted it with a smile, and then took out the previous box.
"Junior Brother, accept this thing, but you have to keep this box. It's not that I'm stingy, but this thing is from my sister and I have to return it later."
Ming Fanxing didn't care. He took out a box at random and threw the Heavenly Fire Wood into it, and then he threw it near the previous piece of iron mother.
These two are the materials that Master asked for. I think he must be worrying about the magic weapon that needs to be refined in the future. Maybe it will be used in the refining of Lingbao puppets?
If it is not a puppet, I wonder what kind of magic weapon Master intends to refine, and... Magic weapons must wait until the Golden Core Stage to be driven, right?
Even if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage has a magic weapon, his spiritual power and consciousness cannot keep up, and he cannot drive the magic weapon, even if it is a low-grade magic weapon.
Most likely, it should be to refine a Lingbao puppet that Master wants to use himself.
Ming Fanxing thought about what kind of expression he would have when a puppet that looks exactly like Master appeared in the space. Every time he opens his eyes, Master is there?
His heartbeat accelerated...
Hu Yumeng got five Foundation Establishment Pills and was in a very good mood. He insisted on keeping Ming Fanxing for dinner.
Ming Fanxing originally wanted to go out for a stroll in Hongye City, looking for a chance to throw out the Taiyin clone, and the Xuanyang clone would return to the cave to practice alchemy.
But in the end, he couldn't refuse the hospitality and stayed.
But he didn't expect that staying for a meal would actually lead to... a good thing.
Hu Yumeng was chatting and laughing with Ming Fanxing at this time, and a servant came over in a hurry, "Master, that person is here."
Hu Yumeng didn't react at first, but soon realized who the person was.
"What?"
The expression on his face was a little more restrained.
"What is he doing here? Didn't he say that he found true love and was pursuing true love at all costs? Could it be that he ran out of spirit stones and came back to ask for money?"
The servant stood aside and didn't dare to speak. Just kidding, he didn't have a say here.
Ming Fanxing felt strange when he heard that someone ran away from home to find true love, but he felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, otherwise...
"Brother Hu, since you have something to do, why don't you go first..."
Hu Yumeng hurriedly stopped him, "It's okay, it's not a big deal, I'll just go and say a few words, you can have your meal first."
Ming Fanxing didn't think much about it, "Brother, go ahead, you won't be alone with so many delicious food."
Hu Yumeng was amused by his words, and left the place with a relaxed mood. Ming Fanxing didn't use his spiritual sense to scan the place without permission.
This is someone else's house, you can't be rude.
Hu Yumeng walked to the front yard and saw the person coming in the front hall. His originally relaxed expression suddenly turned into a look of disgust after seeing the person.
"Why are you back? Where's your true love? Did you get her?" The
person who came was none other than Hu Yumeng's cousin, Hu Yusheng.
Like Ming Fanxing, he was in the early stage of foundation building, but he did not have the fire spirit root, so he was destined to not be able to become an alchemist.
Hu Yusheng was just an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. With his strength, no one else would dare to run around outside alone.
After all, if he was not careful, he would be killed. As long as the body was destroyed and no one was found, no one would specially investigate the matter.
He was still alive and well because he always wore the Hu family's emblem in a conspicuous place on his body.
The Hu family has several alchemists, all of whom are members of the Alchemist Association. The strongest one is Hu Yujiao, a middle-stage Jindan alchemist and a third-level, third-grade alchemist.
Although only the third-level third-grade cleansing marrow pill can be refined, the third-level is the third-level.
In addition, there are several second-level third-grade alchemists, Hu Yumeng is one of them, and Hu Yujiao and Hu Yumeng's father is also a second-level third-grade alchemist.
But unfortunately, they are unable to stably refine the third-grade foundation-building pill, which is also a great pity.
However, this does not affect the weight of the Hu family's name in the Han Gu Continent, and Hu Yusheng is just a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. Many people will subconsciously ignore his existence when they see him.
Because he is really too stupid.
But because of this, he gradually developed his current temperament.
He thinks that the Hu family is the strongest backing. As long as they know that he is a member of the Hu family, people outside will not do anything to him.
In fact, everyone was too lazy to target him.
Fortunately, he was not an alchemist, so neither Hu Yumeng nor his older sister Hu Yujiao cared much about his decadent weirdness.
Hu Yusheng was really shameless and acted coquettishly to him, "My dear cousin, I have no spirit stones, please give me some."
Hu Yumeng was so angry that he almost laughed, "What's the matter with you?"
"It is said that he has taken a fancy to a new disciple of Longxiao Valley. Since he is a new disciple, he must be a junior in the Qi Condensation Stage. You..."
Hu Yusheng hurriedly corrected, "No, no! He is in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It is said that he was sent from the island last year. He looks very good, has excellent talent, and is very powerful. In particular, he has a special spirit root."
Hu Yumeng asked, "What spirit root?"
Hu Yusheng smiled, "I have only heard of it before, but never seen it."
"Cousin, do you know about dark spirit roots? Moreover, he is a single spirit root genius, and his cultivation speed is very fast. This shows that his spirit root talent is also very strong."
Hu Yumeng frowned slightly, "Dark spirit root?"
"It's true that I've never seen one before, but it is said that he has extremely strong spiritual roots. However... even so, our Hu family does not need the help of a Foundation Establishment cultivator for the time being."
"I heard that this is a man. If you... if you really like men, you can go find a senior in the Golden Core stage. I have quite a few good-looking and powerful seniors here."
"If you can catch up with him, it will be the biggest help to our Hu family."
Hu Yusheng's mouth twitched, "Brother, I know that the seniors you chose for me are indeed very strong, but those who can advance to the Golden Core stage are all older, I don't want them!"
"And... this is the feeling of liking and being moved that I want. I just like him!"
Hu Yumeng sighed in his heart, his mouth twitching, "Do you know how difficult our Hu family is now? Only my sister is a Golden Core cultivator!"
"Although Patriarch Yuanshan is biased towards us because of my sister, this is just an attitude."
He was very upset. "Not only can our Hu family not gain any benefits from Patriarch Yuanshan, but we have to give him a lot of resources."
"What about you? In such a special period, not only do you not consider the family, but you also keep doing reckless things. Do you think our Hu family's treasury is inexhaustible?"
Hu Yusheng felt aggrieved, "But I didn't use anything in the treasury when I pursued him."
Hu Yumeng was so angry that he almost laughed, "You have been practicing since you were born to the foundation-building stage. What you eat, use, wear, live in, and spend, which of these resources does not come from the family?"
Hu Yusheng opened his mouth. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to say it, "Then I have to sacrifice my marriage and love?"
Hu Yumeng's mouth was a little bitter. If Hu Yusheng was not a member of the family, he would be expelled from the family just for this attitude.
"Since you have enjoyed the glory and resources brought by the family, you should have this awareness, or do you think that these resources you have obtained are all your due?"
Hu Yusheng shook his head, "I don't think so, I just really like him, can't I wait? He has a really good talent for cultivation, wait a little longer, cousin, I believe he can definitely advance to the Golden Core Stage."
