Chapter 80 Returning Home

The senior brother Qin that Cheng Bei mentioned is named Qin Ren.

His cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he is only one step away from reaching the perfect state.

Qin Ren himself is a top-tier alchemist of the first rank. He often helps other disciples refine pills and is known for his humility and gentleness, which makes him popular among many disciples.

However, probably because Yu Huai didn't go out often, he didn't have much of an impression of this person.

Should foundation building precede subsequent foundation building?

Ha ha.

They're just eyeing the contribution points I have.

Yu Huai was well aware of this and was not particularly interested in joining Qin Ren's faction.

While forming factions can certainly share elixirs, cultivation techniques, and opportunities, it also means fighting for positions, being driven by others, and getting entangled in endless grudges. It's not as enjoyable as going it alone.

However, although Yu Huai did not want to join Qin Ren's faction, he was very interested in the Foundation Establishment Pill formula they possessed.

The Qingxuan Sect maintains a certain level of control over the Foundation Establishment Pill formulas, making it difficult for ordinary disciples to obtain them.

Yu Huai was quite surprised that Qin Ren actually possessed it.

However, Cheng Bei was right.

He seems to have plenty of contribution points now, but he's still far from having enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

For ordinary disciples like them, it would be an unknown amount of time before they could obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill through sect contributions, and they would also have to compete with these factions, making it even more difficult.

He has now reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

If it's truly impossible to exchange Foundation Establishment Pills from the Qingxuan Sect normally, then one should indeed find a way to achieve Foundation Establishment as a backup plan.

Qin Ren's faction is naturally a backup plan; if they really can't get the Foundation Establishment Pill, they can use this path to gain an opportunity.

Besides this path, Yu Huai also thought of another way: to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself.

However, this is not an easy task.

Foundation Establishment Pill is a mid-grade second-tier pill. To refine Foundation Establishment Pill, one's alchemy skills must be at least at the mid-grade second-tier alchemist level.

In addition, the main ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills are also a problem, because one of the main ingredients, called Heavenly Spirit Fruit, is controlled by the four major immortal sects.

The reason why the four major immortal sects were able to control the Heavenly Spirit Fruit was because the Heavenly Spirit Fruit had never appeared in the Qinghe Continent before; it was obtained by the four major immortal sects from a secret realm overseas.

The Qingxuan Sect and the other three major immortal sects recruit disciples to travel to the outer sea every ten years in order to enter this secret realm and search for the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

This fruit is not among the fruits that Qingxuan Sect can exchange. Therefore, if Yu Huai really wants to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he still needs to enter this secret realm, find the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, and obtain this spiritual fruit right under the nose of Qingxuan Sect.

The difficulty is evident.

Yu Huai didn't want to take such a risk and still wanted to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills from the Qingxuan Sect, as this was the safest method.

However, Yu Huai still thought of using contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill recipe from Qin Ren, which might be useful in the future.

Furthermore, they only want their contribution points, so trading with them in this way won't cause them any dissatisfaction by refusing Cheng Bei's invitation.

Yu Huai sat cross-legged on the back of the little green turtle, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, settling down and no longer thinking about the matter. Instead, he took out the book "The Art of Returning the Hearts of Ten Thousand Beasts" from his bosom.

He has been focusing on physical training these past few days and hasn't had a chance to properly study this method yet, but today he can finally get a chance to comprehend it.

Thinking this, Yu Huai opened the manual.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Ok?

If one can master this method, it can even allow a Qi Refining cultivator to develop divine consciousness.

Yu Huai carefully read through the method and was overjoyed.

This technique should be considered an ancient method.

The records about the cultivation process from Qi Refining to Golden Elixir are very detailed and there are no omissions.

The "Ten Thousand Beasts Return to the Heart" technique is divided into twelve levels from Qi Refining to Golden Core. Once you enter the first level, you can generate divine consciousness. Each subsequent level can enhance the strength and range of your divine consciousness.

This technique is a special practice for disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. It enables Qi Refining cultivators to develop divine sense and expand its range, making it easier for them to control demonic beasts in battle.

This is divine sense.

Generally, only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage can awaken their divine consciousness.

Having divine consciousness is of great benefit to alchemy, talisman drawing, and array formation.

Moreover, the emergence of divine consciousness greatly benefited him in breaking through the Divine Gate, one of the three stages of Foundation Establishment.

How could this not excite Yu Huai?

Yu Huai quickly suppressed his excitement and began to comprehend the technique.

Several days passed in this way.

"Brother Yu Huai, have you made up your mind?"

Cheng Bei was somewhat surprised by Yu Huai's refusal and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. However, when he saw that Yu Huai wanted to use contribution points to trade the Foundation Establishment Pill formula with Qin Ren, he gave him a second look.

"Um."

"I wonder if this is feasible?"

Yu Huai asked calmly.

Cheng Bei sighed softly.

"Since that's the case, this is not something I can decide on my own. I need to go back and discuss it with Senior Brother Qin. If he agrees, I will come to find you again tonight."

After a pause, the two walked out of the herb garden side by side. Cheng Bei turned to look at Yu Huai, his tone filled with regret:

"However, Senior Brother Qin is kind and generous, and always shares resources with his fellow disciples. Brother Yu Huai, are you really not considering joining our faction?"

Yu Huai shook his head slightly and said:

"I appreciate the kindness of Brother Cheng Bei and Senior Brother Qin, but I am of a leisurely nature and have always been used to being alone. I do not like to get involved in factions. It is enough for me to cultivate peacefully and focus on breaking through my cultivation level."

Ugh.

After saying that, Yu Huai sighed again:

"As for Foundation Establishment, I only have a mid-grade spiritual root. Even with Foundation Establishment Pills, it would be difficult for me to break through. I've already seen through that."

"Very well, everyone has their own ambitions. I'll go back and deliver the message first, and wait for news."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Cheng Bei did not try to persuade him further. The two bowed to each other and said goodbye, and Cheng Bei turned and left.

After watching Cheng Bei leave, Yu Huai turned around and went back to the herb garden, waiting for Cheng Bei to arrive that evening.

evening.

Cheng Bei visited again and was invited into the herb garden by Yu Huai.

"I wonder what's wrong?"

The two took their seats, and Yu Huai poured Cheng Bei a cup of tea, looking at him and speaking.

Hahaha.

"Senior Brother Qin has agreed. He can give you a copy of the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe, but you will need to give him 500 sect contribution points in exchange."

Cheng Bei spoke with a smile on his face.

Five hundred contribution points?

Isn't that asking for the moon?

Upon hearing this, Yu Huai gasped and stared at him, wondering if he was joking.

Five hundred contribution points is no small amount for a Qi Refining cultivator in the sect. They usually manage the herb garden and complete sect tasks, and they can only accumulate a few dozen points a month.

Seeing Yu Huai like this, Cheng Bei knew what he was thinking and explained:

"Brother Yu Huai, please don't think it's too expensive. This Foundation Establishment Pill formula is not something ordinary disciples can obtain. Senior Brother Qin went to great lengths to get this formula."

"If you join our faction, Brother Yu Huai, you can naturally watch it for free. But if you want to buy it, the price will naturally be higher."

After Cheng Bei finished explaining, he took a small sip of tea and said:

"Brother Yu Huai, have you made up your mind? Will you choose to join Senior Brother Qin's faction, or will you choose to purchase this Foundation Establishment Pill formula?"
