Chapter 125: Alchemy Inheritance
According to Ji Chang's understanding, Huangquan Sect is famous for its corpse path and water path.
And Si Baichuan's method of refining corpses is the most famous symbol of the inheritance of corpse arts.
The corpse-guild monks can use special spells to refine the corpses of fellow monks into powerful refined corpses to be used in battle.
These refined corpses not only possess tough bodies and powerful strength, enough to rival physical cultivators of the same level, but some of the refined corpses created using special corpse-cultivation methods also possess some special abilities.
Even some high-level corpse refiners can use the spells that the cultivators mastered during their lifetime.
The process of corpse refining is not simple. It requires monks to carefully select corpses, prepare various rare materials, and spend a lot of time and energy on refining.
To some extent, it is similar to Ji Chang's method of refining poisonous insects.
When Ji Changzai saw the Si family's inheritance of the way of corpses, he became very interested.
In addition to the fact that the Si family's inheritance may have reached the third level, it is also because the corpse inheritance can serve as a means of protecting Ji Chang.
Different from the Five Elements School's martial arts inheritance, the main offensive means of the Corpse Dao inheritance are concentrated on corpse refining.
If Ji Chang could master this corpse-refining inheritance, even if he did not switch to practicing corpse-refining techniques, just refining corpses would be able to significantly enhance his strength.
Moreover, controlling corpses is different from practicing magic. There is no need to worry about conflicts between magic schools and martial arts schools, making it difficult to unleash the full power of the magic.
How could this not make Ji Chang excited?
"However, if the Si family follows the path of corpses, then the Si family's foundation should be much stronger than that of an ordinary foundation-building family."
Refined corpses, like poisonous insects and spirit beasts, are tools that cultivators control.
Although refined corpses, like spirit beasts, have the risk of turning against their masters, they are not as easy to control as poisonous insects that only have instincts.
However, refined corpses are not living things and have no lifespan. This means that the refined corpses made by the predecessors can be passed on to future generations as long as they are not damaged.
Even after the death of the predecessors, their own bodies can be refined into refined corpses.
In the inheritance of corpse cultivation, there is also such a secret method, which transforms the cultivator into a refined corpse after his death.
"The Si family has been established for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many refined corpses they have accumulated."
"It is undoubtedly very difficult for ordinary people to obtain the Si family's inheritance."
“But for me, as long as I wait patiently, sooner or later I will be able to obtain the Si family’s inheritance by spying on Si Shengcai.”
……
Half a month later, after some preparation, Ji Chang started to refine the elixir and produced a finished foundation-building pill, thus completing the transaction with Si Shengcai.
When delivering the pills, Si Shengcai suspected that Ji Chang had refined more than one foundation-building pill.
However, Si Shengcai did not take the initiative to ask Ji Chang. He only completed the transaction with him after confirming that the Foundation Establishment Pill delivered by Ji Chang had no flaws.
After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Si Shengcai and Si Baichuan did not stay in Baishuixian City for long.
After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill is still quite precious. Generally speaking, as long as the aptitude is not too bad and the age is not too old, with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
For the Foundation Building Family, the value of the Foundation Building Pill is even higher than some ordinary second-level pills.
The Si family is far away from Baishuixian City, so Si Sheng is worried that if he stays in Baishuixian City for too long, someone will target the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand.
Therefore, they quickly set out to return to their family.
Of course, in the opinion of Ji Chang who was watching secretly, it was generally impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to attack two Foundation Establishment cultivators for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
No matter how precious the foundation-building pill is, it cannot compare to a real foundation-building cultivator.
What's more, there are quite a few foundation-building elixirs and spiritual objects that can replace the Foundation-Building Pill.
After refining the foundation-building pill for Si Shengcai, Ji Chang's reputation in Baishuixian City grew a lot.
In the following half a year, two more cultivators from foundation-building families came to ask Ji Chang to help them refine foundation-building pills.
Although the reward for refining Foundation Establishment Pills for others was not small, Ji Chang found that the commissions for refining Foundation Establishment Pills were not as many as he had imagined.
But if you think about it carefully, the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are precious. Even for a Foundation Establishment Family, it is quite difficult to gather a set of spiritual herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"It seems that the key is to improve the alchemy skills to the second level."
On this day, Ji Chang left the cave and walked alone through the bustling streets of the fairy city towards Master Badan's cave.
Today is the big day for Master Badan to take in his eighth concubine. As a famous alchemist and foundation-building cultivator in Baishuixian City, Ji Chang naturally received an invitation from Master Badan. Master Badan's cave is vast and magnificent.
Ji Chang walked to the entrance of the cave and saw that it was decorated with lights and colorful decorations all around. It was a festive atmosphere with guests coming and going in an endless stream, making it extremely lively and bustling.
This is normal. Today, Master Badan is not only a second-rank top-grade alchemist, but also a guest elder of the Zhou family. Naturally, there are countless cultivators who come to curry favor with him.
After becoming a guest official of the Zhou family, Master Badan took in two concubines within just one year, and received a lot of gifts through the concubines.
It’s really a good business.
Ji Chang walked forward with a smile and handed over the gift he had prepared long ago.
The gift that Ji Chang prepared was not too expensive. It was a second-level spiritual medicine that he had asked Liu Xuexuan to purchase.
However, Master Badan was not marrying a wife, he was only taking a concubine, so there was no need to give her any expensive gifts.
As long as you don't lose face.
Upon seeing this, the monk guarding the gate hurriedly saluted respectfully and announced loudly: "Senior Han Linhan has arrived."
As the announcement came down, Division Badan came out in person.
He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and had a smile on his face. Although he had a few strands of white hair, he looked energetic.
When he saw Ji Chang, he bowed to Ji Chang enthusiastically.
"Fellow Daoist Han, it's great that you can come!" Master Badan said happily.
Ji Chang smiled and responded, "Brother Daoist Ba is taking a concubine, how can I not come to congratulate him? Congratulations!"
At the same time, Ji Chang planted a peeping mark on Master Badan.
"The second-level alchemy inheritance is in hand."
Ji Chang thought happily in his heart.
He refined foundation-building pills for others, and although he was able to come into contact with many foundation-building cultivators, he could obtain the inheritance from them by planting the mark of peeping on them.
However, Ji Chang was unable to obtain the second-level alchemy inheritance through this channel.
After all, for a cultivator who has inherited the second-level alchemy and knows how to make pills, why would he need to find Ji Chang to make the foundation-building pill?
Therefore, Ji Chang wanted to obtain the second-level alchemy inheritance, so taking this opportunity to congratulate Master Badan on taking a concubine was the most appropriate choice.
At most it would cost just one second-level spiritual medicine, which is nothing.
Master Badan made a small profit, but Ji Chang definitely did not lose money.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Ji Chang walked into the cave, while Master Badan was still welcoming other distinguished guests.
At this time, the cave was already filled with banquets, and the guests were sitting around together, laughing and talking happily.
Ji Chang took a quick glance and found that the cultivators who could come as guests were either foundation-building cultivators themselves, or direct descendants of certain foundation-building families who came to celebrate.
Ji Chang has recently become quite famous in Baishuixian City because of his business of refining foundation-building pills.
Just after he sat down, several foundation-building cultivators came over to chat. Most of these cultivators came from foundation-building families.
Among them were cultivators for whom Ji Chang had refined foundation-building pills, as well as cultivators who wanted Ji Chang to refine foundation-building pills for them.
In comparison, not many of those foundation-building cultivators would take the initiative to approach Ji Chang to start a conversation.
Ji Chang also took this opportunity to frantically begin planting peeping marks on the bodies of the foundation-building cultivators present.
While planting the peeping mark, Ji Chang sighed in his heart.
"I should have attended more banquets like this."
"I'm Ji Chang, and I just like making friends."
After the banquet began, Master Badan walked out from the back hall, hugging a female cultivator in a red wedding dress, his face full of pride.
The female cultivator had a beautiful face and an extremely good figure, and there was a charm between her brows.
She was smiling happily in Master Badan's arms, and standing together with Master Badan, they were a perfect match.
