Chapter 27 Dividing Foundation Establishment Pills Equally? I Want Them All!
"6"
Foundation Building Pill! "
In the courtyard of Xuankun Mountain.
Lin Chuan clenched his fist tightly.
Although he possessed dual spiritual roots and had decent aptitude, he was considered a promising Foundation Establishment disciple within the sect.
Without the aid of Foundation Establishment Pills, what are the chances of successfully breaking through the mysterious Foundation Establishment barrier on one's own? Thirty percent? Or even lower?
Countless exceptionally talented individuals in the cultivation world have been stuck at the Qi Refining Perfection stage, wasting hundreds of years and ultimately turning into withered bones, all because of a single Foundation Establishment Pill!
The Crimson Forbidden Land—that's where you risk your life for a sliver of hope, a life-or-death struggle. Even if you survive by sheer luck, whether the spiritual medicine you obtain can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill is still uncertain.
If we can obtain two Foundation Establishment Pills in advance.
Lin Chuan's breathing became heavy.
"Two of them—as long as I obtain these two, my path to Foundation Establishment will be smooth sailing!"
Perhaps—we won't even need to venture into that blood-red forbidden zone!
Beneath the immense temptation lies scheming.
The divination indicates that Han Li will also appear at Xie Ri Slope tonight, and will eventually "join forces" with him to kill Senior Brother Lu and obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Joint effort? No, joint effort is not needed."
Lin Chuan's eyes turned cold.
"I want both of these Foundation Establishment Pills!"
The most urgent task is to determine Han Li's whereabouts and prevent him from appearing at Xie Ri Slope, thus taking away the opportunity that belongs to us.
This further reduces unnecessary variables.
He immediately got up, changed into a dark outfit, concealed his aura, mounted Bai Ling, and sped off towards the direction of the Hundred Herbs Garden.
The Hundred Herbs Garden is located at the confluence of spiritual veins on the other side of Yellow Maple Valley. It covers a large area and is shrouded in a layer of light blue restrictive spiritual light.
Lin Chuan landed outside the barrier, took out a very ordinary communication talisman, infused it with spiritual power, whispered a few words, and released it with a wave of his hand.
The communication talisman transformed into a glimmer of light, piercing through the restrictions and flying into the garden.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the spiritual light of the barrier in front rippled out like water, revealing a gap, and Han Li's ordinary yet slightly puzzled face appeared at the door.
"Senior Brother Lin?"
Han Li cupped his hands in greeting, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Why are you here? Is it for the pills—"
"It's not about elixirs."
Lin Chuan interrupted him, his gaze quickly sweeping over Han Li. Seeing that he was neatly dressed and seemed to be planning to go out, Lin Chuan's heart tightened, but his face remained calm. "Junior Brother Han, are you going out?"
"Yes," Han Li nodded, his tone calm, "I was just about to go to the market to buy some medicinal herbs. Is there something you need, Senior Brother?"
I really have to go to the market!
Lin Chuan was certain that the divination information was correct; Han Li would most likely "encounter" the Slanting Sun Slope incident on his way back from the market tonight.
He showed just the right amount of urgency on his face, stepped forward, and lowered his voice, saying, "Junior Brother Han, to be honest, I have come here today with an important matter to ask of you."
"Please speak freely, senior brother."
Han Li's expression hardened slightly.
"Junior brother, do you have any poison here? Preferably a highly toxic one, or—the kind of poison that is colorless, odorless, and not easily detected." Lin Chuan got straight to the point, his eyes fixed on Han Li.
"poison?"
Han Li frowned immediately, a subtle hint of speculation flashing in the depths of his eyes.
This Senior Brother Lin, with whom I traded pill formulas and commissioned pill refining, had always been gentle and polite. Today, however, he suddenly demanded a deadly poison.
What for? To kill? Or—
Seeing Han Li remain silent, Lin Chuan knew he couldn't ask for it empty-handed, so he immediately took out a light blue jade slip from his storage bag and handed it over.
"Junior brother, rest assured, I have no intention of doing anything immoral. It's just that I may be visiting a dangerous place soon and need to make thorough preparations. This scroll of the Azure Marrow Pill's formula was obtained by chance, and its effects are said to be even better than the Golden Essence Pill. It's a great tonic for late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. Consider it payment for this trip—"
"The recipe for the Azure Marrow Pill?" Han Li took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense with some skepticism.
A moment later, a glint flashed in his eyes, and his breathing became slightly rapid.
The recipe is extremely detailed, the refining method is mysterious, and the description of the medicinal effects is even more enticing. If he could refine it, it would greatly help him break through his current bottleneck and reach a higher realm!
But when he saw the main medicine column.
His brows furrowed again.
"A three-hundred-year-old Green Wood Fruit—the value of a spiritual fruit of this age is close to that of the main ingredient for Foundation Establishment stage pills. Using it to refine Qi Refining stage pills would be too extravagant—" Han Li murmured, while his mind was rapidly calculating.
For him, the age of the medicinal herbs wasn't an issue; with the little green bottle in hand, accelerating their ripening was just a matter of time. The key was the formula itself!
This formula for the Green Marrow Elixir is of immeasurable value to him at present.
"The formula is just knowledge; making a copy is nothing special." Lin Chuan waved his hand, appearing quite generous. "How about it, Junior Brother Han? Would you do me a favor?"
Han Li glanced at the jade slip in his hand, then at Lin Chuan's "sincere" expression, pondered for a few moments, and finally nodded: "Senior brother, please wait a moment."
He turned and walked back into the garden, returning a moment later with a small gray storage bag.
He emptied the contents of the bag onto a flat bluestone nearby. The bag contained a jumble of things, including many bottles, jars, and scraps of medicinal herbs.
Han Li skillfully rummaged through the bottles and found several porcelain bottles of different colors and shapes. He introduced them one by one: "This bottle is called Spirit Stagnation Powder. It is colorless and odorless after evaporation. When inhaled, it can slightly block the flow of magical power, causing spellcasting to be delayed."
However, it requires prolonged intake or extremely high concentrations to be effective, and it is easily detected by those with keen senses or high levels of cultivation.
He picked up another small, dark green bottle, his expression becoming more serious: "This poison is called 'Bone-Corroding Orchid Juice,' extracted from a rare poisonous flower. It's extremely potent, capable of corroding spiritual energy shields and seeping through the skin. Those afflicted experience a burning sensation in their meridians and their magical power becomes disordered. However—it has a slightly bitter and fishy smell, so it must be used close to the body or mixed with food."
Finally, he picked up a white jade bottle labeled with the word "forget," hesitated for a moment, and seemed to want to put it back.
"This bottle is—"
Lin Chuan, with his keen eyesight, immediately asked.
Han Li paused, then explained somewhat awkwardly, "This is not poison. It's a little gadget that I accidentally concocted when I was researching pill formulas in my early years. I call it the Forget-Dust Pill. After taking it, one can forget the memories of the past few hours. However, the effect is not very stable, and it may be ineffective for those with strong willpower or powerful spiritual sense—I hope you'll forgive my poor performance, Senior Brother."
Forget-Dust Pill?
Lin Chuan's heart stirred.
This was an unexpected delight.
"This is excellent!"
He reached out and took the white jade bottle, putting it away along with the previous two poison bottles: "It might come in handy at a crucial moment. Thank you very much, Junior Brother Han!"
Seeing that he insisted, Han Li said nothing more and put the remaining items back into his storage bag.
"By the way, Junior Brother Han,"
Lin Chuan casually brought it up, "You mentioned earlier that you were going to the market today? If it's just to buy ordinary medicinal herbs, perhaps you should postpone it for a day or two. I might have to come see you again tonight, Junior Brother, as I have some questions about alchemy details—"
