Chapter 118 Foundation Building Pill

Hu Qingsong took a deep breath, breaking the silence in the air.

"Brother Han, I'm sorry to ask you to come to my house this time because I really have a favor to ask of you."

His tone was sincere and his eyes revealed expectation.

Ji Chang smiled slightly: "Daoyou Qingsong, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Hu Qingsong nodded and carefully took out a spiritual medicine emitting a faint glow from his storage bag.

"These are the collections of my clan in recent years. They are all the rare spiritual medicines needed for a foundation-building pill recipe."

He gently pushed the materials in front of Ji Chang and continued, "I hope Brother Han can help refine the foundation-building pill. If it succeeds, my clan will reward you generously."

Ji Chang glanced at the elixirs in front of him and was slightly stunned.

Although all of these spiritual medicines are first-grade spiritual medicines, the main ingredient among them is a three-hundred-year-old dragon blood bodhi.

Although this kind of spiritual medicine is only a first-level spiritual medicine, it can be used as the most important auxiliary medicine when refining many second-level pills.

It is also an indispensable main ingredient in many foundation-building pill recipes.

It is precisely because the Dragon Blood Bodhi takes a long time to mature that the Foundation Establishment Pill is so precious and rare.

Ji Chang remembered that although the Hu family in Yuzhou was much more prosperous than the Wang family in Jiaozhou, there were four foundation-building cultivators in the family.

However, the time of establishment of the clan is far less than that of the Wang family of Jiaozhou, with only about 500 years of history.

If the Hu family cultivated it themselves, even from the beginning of the establishment of the family, they could only cultivate two waves of Dragon Blood Bodhi at most.

Perhaps the Dragon Blood Bodhi that Hu Qingsong took out at this time was cultivated by the Hu family themselves.

Ji Chang gently stroked the teacup in his hand, did not answer immediately, and fell into deep thought.

The Foundation Building Pill is just a first-grade top-grade pill, and it is not difficult for him to refine it.

But Ji Chang had never refined a foundation-building pill before. If he failed to refine it and ruined this Dragon Blood Bodhi, he might have to pay a lot of spirit stones.

“Fellow Daoist Qingsong, although Han can refine first-grade top-grade elixirs, he has never refined a foundation-building elixir.”

"If you want me to refine the Boiling Blood Pill, Nourishing Spirit Pill, or other foundation-building pills, I have no problem with that."

“But if I were to ask Han to refine the foundation-building pill, and accidentally fail, this dragon-blood bodhi would be wasted.”

Hu Qingsong shook his head at this time and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Han Daoyou? Since I asked Han Daoyou to make the elixir, I naturally trust Han Daoyou's alchemy skills."

"If I fail, I will just consider it my bad luck, but I will never blame Fellow Daoist Han for it."

"To be honest, my Hu family also has a top-grade alchemist, but his cultivation is only at the late stage of Qi Refining, and he has no spiritual consciousness, so his skills are naturally not as good as my fellow Daoist Han."

Ji Chang was somewhat moved when he heard this.

Refining the foundation-building pill is also a very good thing for him.

If the elixir is successfully refined this time, other foundation-building families in Zheng State will naturally look for him to refine the elixir since he has successful experience in refining foundation-building elixirs.

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is only a first-grade top-grade pill, the reward for refining it is much higher than that of many second-grade low-grade pills.

If Ji Chang could make a living by refining foundation-building pills, his ability to earn spirit stones would undoubtedly be raised to another level.

In addition, after having this business, many foundation-building families in Zheng State would take the initiative to get to know him.

Ji Chang could also take the opportunity to plant a spy mark on the foundation-building ancestors in their families, so as to secretly spy on the inheritance in their hands.

However, Ji Chang thought of something. "Fellow Daoist Qingsong, I remember that Master Badan of Baishuixian City is in charge of refining foundation-building pills. Master Badan is a second-level alchemist, and his skills are definitely better than mine. He has been refining foundation-building pills for many years and has rich experience in alchemy."

"Why don't you go find him?"

Ji Chang asked his last question.

Although there are not many foundation-building cultivators in Baishuixian City, and even fewer who are proficient in alchemy, there are still one or two second-level alchemists.

The Master Badan that Ji Chang mentioned was famous for refining foundation-building pills for others.

Hu Qingsong smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you may not know that Master Badan came out of seclusion some time ago, and his alchemy attainments have reached the second-grade upper level. He is now a guest elder of the Zhou family, and rarely helps others to make pills."

Ji Chang was slightly stunned when he heard this.

I didn’t expect that Master Badan had actually become a second-level top-grade alchemist.

For alchemists of this level, the profits from the Foundation Establishment Pill are indeed no longer worth considering.

What's more, he became a guest elder of the Zhou family, the only Jindan family in Zheng State.

Of course, there was another reason why Hu Qingsong asked Ji Chang to help him make the elixir.

That is, Ji Chang's attainment in alchemy has not yet reached the second level, so the reward for his actions is naturally much lower than that of a second-level alchemist.

After no longer having any doubts, Ji Chang looked up at Hu Qingsong and agreed.

"Since Daoist Qingsong trusts me so much, I will try my best. However, there is no absolute in alchemy. Success or failure depends on God's will."

Ji Chang once again emphasized the consequences of failing in alchemy.

Hu Qingsong was overjoyed when he heard this. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Of course, of course. Thank you, Brother Ji, for your help. I am very grateful."

The two then signed a contract and paid a deposit and materials.

Like other towns, in Baishuixian City, the contracts signed between monks are also bound by official guarantees.

However, the officials of Baishuixian City are the Zheng royal family and the Zhou family, the Jiedan family, so the constraints and deterrence they have are undoubtedly stronger.

After finishing all these, Ji Chang chatted with Hu Qingsong for a while, exchanging some recent news and interesting stories about Zheng State, as well as some experiences in daily practice.

But at this moment, a Qi-refining cultivator from the Hu family came over and reported to Hu Qingsong.

"Ancestor, Senior Shen is here to visit."

Hearing the announcement, Ji Chang was slightly stunned, then stood up and prepared to leave.

However, Hu Qingsong grabbed him and shook his head with a smile: "Brother Han, there is no need to leave in a hurry."

"This Fellow Daoist Shen not only has a high level of cultivation, but is also a second-level formation master. Her visit today is truly a rare opportunity. Let me introduce her to you."

When Ji Chang heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his mind, as if he had thought of something.

"The Hu family invited a second-level formation master... could it be about that matter?"

So, Ji Chang smiled and said, "Since Brother Hu praises him so highly, then I, Han, should see the elegance of this Taoist friend Shen."

Hu Qingsong nodded, and then said to the Hu family cultivator beside him: "Please ask Fellow Daoist Shen to come in."

After a while, a petite and cute female cultivator in a light blue dress slowly walked into the cave.
