Chapter 11 Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object
Chapter 11 Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object
Ning Yanzu got the answer he wanted and swayed away satisfied.
Fang Qi felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of her swaying, seductive posture.
The world of cultivation is truly terrifying.
A single male-female secret technique, in just half a month, turned a person into this neither-male-nor-female state.
If it goes on any longer, wouldn't it become...?
That's probably impossible.
Fang Qi shook his head, putting Ning Yanzu's matter out of his mind.
Whether things change or not is none of his business; he has a lot of things to do.
Upon entering the market, I bought five catties of spirit rice from Lingnong.
I usually buy ten catties, but with the competition approaching, even basic necessities like spirit rice have seen their prices rise.
"This is outrageous!" two outer sect disciples at the third level of Qi Refining cursed. "Fellow Daoist, don't you agree?"
The two of them only bought three to five catties of spirit rice. Seeing that Fang Qi was a fellow traveler, they wanted to stick together for warmth and comfort each other.
"Yes..." Fang Qi didn't recognize either of them, so he gave a perfunctory reply and hurriedly left.
Nowadays, the entire market is a mixed bag; who knows if the other party is a robber or a villain?
After passing through several main roads, I happened to pass by stall number 13 in the East District.
"Junior Brother Fang, come and sit down."
"Senior Brother Xiao has emerged from seclusion?" Fang Qi asked, somewhat surprised.
In preparation for the Small Cave Heaven Grand Competition, Xiao Dacheng went into seclusion early on, saying he would only come out after breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
With five days left until the grand competition, Xiao Dacheng's early exit from seclusion suggests that his cultivation has advanced further.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother." Fang Qi sat down to the side.
"Haha." Xiao Dacheng smiled broadly, "I also have to thank my junior brother for the jade marrow ointment."
During his seclusion this time, not only did his Qi cultivation break through to the sixth level, but his body refinement also successfully entered the mid-stage, and his overall strength increased several times over.
In addition, his status as a talisman master greatly enhances his chances of winning the Small Cave Heaven Grand Competition.
After laughing, Xiao Dacheng handed over a talisman, "This is the Thousand-Mile Travel Talisman, Junior Brother, take it."
Fang Qi was immediately startled.
"It's too expensive."
The Thousand-Mile Speed Talisman is a mid-grade talisman. Although it cannot instantly travel a thousand miles, it can greatly increase speed, making it an excellent escape tool.
In the market, such a talisman costs five or six spirit stones!
Xiao Dacheng waved his hand, stuffing the Thousand-Mile Travel Talisman into Fang Qi's hand. Just then, he noticed the change in Fang Qi's aura and asked in surprise, "Junior Brother, you've broken through?"
"Yes, I finally reached the third level of Qi Refining yesterday."
"Congratulations, Junior Brother." Xiao Dacheng reached into his sleeve and handed over two protective talismans. "Take these."
Fang Qi didn't stand on ceremony this time; he thanked him and accepted the gift.
"Now that you've broken through to the third level, have you considered participating in the Lesser Heaven Grand Competition?" Xiao Dacheng asked.
"The registration period has passed, so I can't participate even if I want to," Fang Qi said self-deprecatingly.
"Too."
Xiao Dacheng had just set up his stall, and business was slow at the moment, so he chatted with Fang Qi about the Little Cave Heaven Grand Competition.
"This competition is different from previous ones. It is said that several elders' sons are participating, and the immortal sect has donated thousands of treasures."
"Leaving aside everything else, there are at least a hundred top-grade treasures alone."
"There are even rumors that the number of Foundation Establishment spiritual objects has reached five."
"The Magnetic Earth Mother Crystal for Earth Spirit Roots, the Heavy Water Condensed Jade needed for Water Spirit Roots, the Star Crystal Melting Core Iron for Metal Spirit Roots..."
The more Fang Qi listened, the more moved he became.
He possesses the three spiritual roots of metal, earth, and water. To achieve foundation building, he needs foundation-building spiritual objects for each of these three spiritual roots.
With the immortal sects releasing so many spiritual items this time, it's no wonder so many people are going crazy.
If I had the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi Refining, I might really consider participating.
However, it is not necessarily.
He has an extra world of the Republic of China era compared to others, so there's no need for him to take risks.
When I have money, I won't just buy Foundation Establishment items, I'll buy whole bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills.
Foundation Establishment Pills are made from Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects and are suitable for all spiritual roots. They are much more precious than Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.
"A Foundation Establishment Spiritual Being! If I can obtain one of its abilities, this competition will be worthwhile."
Xiao Dacheng looked expectant.
"Senior Brother Xiao has made breakthroughs in both Qi Refining and Body Refinement, greatly increasing his strength. He will surely be able to obtain what he desires."
"Sigh..." Xiao Dacheng shook his head, "It's tough..."
His cultivation level wasn't among the top tier, so it was unlikely he would have been able to obtain a Foundation Establishment spiritual item.
Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this Minor Heaven Competition, and those few Foundation Establishment spiritual items, were probably all prepared for the elders' sons; they were merely there to make up the numbers...
"How much is the amulet?"
As people reminisced, more and more people came to buy talismans.
"A spirit stone."
"Where is the Golden Talisman?"
"Eight gold leaves..."
People kept coming in twos and threes to buy things, so Xiao Dacheng didn't have time to chat.
"I'll come see my senior brother another day."
Fang Qi recited the beast-taming incantation in his mind, and just then he leaped away.
The Dongxi Sect mainly cultivates swordsmanship and innate divine abilities, and is not skilled in the art of beast taming, so there are not many beast taming techniques sold in the market.
After looking around for a while, Fang Qi saw a few books, but he didn't buy any of them.
Because either the price is outrageously high, or it's incomplete.
Even worse, some covers are labeled "Beast Taming," but the content contains astonishing techniques like the "Joyful Union Technique."
Just as he was losing patience, a magic spell on a stall caught his eye.
"This technique is called the 'Myriad Beasts Controlling Spirit Technique,' a beast-taming method passed down by the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect. Mastering this technique allows one to control all beasts of heaven and earth, even divine beasts!"
The stall owner was a burly man. When he saw Fang Qi stop and look around, he began to introduce the stall.
"Can I take a look?" Fang Qi naturally didn't believe the vendors' words.
The man paused for a moment, then picked up the "Mantra of Controlling the Spirits of Ten Thousand Beasts" and handed it over.
Fang Qi immediately flipped through it.
Believe it or not, this manual does indeed record the method of controlling beasts, and it is quite profound.
After only reading three pages, the man snatched back the "Myriad Beasts Controlling Spirit Technique" and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, would you like to buy it?"
"How many spirit stones?"
A smile finally appeared on the man's face:
"Fellow Daoist has excellent eyesight. This technique is unique in the entire market. Once you master this technique, you can control divine beasts. Its market price is at least thirty spirit stones."
But seeing that my junior brother had a kind face, I set a good price: twenty-five spirit stones.
"Senior brother, do I look like someone who can produce twenty-five spirit stones?"
Upon hearing the price, Fang Qi turned and left.
The idea is good, but he can't afford it right now.
"We need to speed up the acquisition of the secret medicine from the Republic of China."
As strength increases, so does the need for resources.
In the early stages, dealing with Blood Qi Powder was manageable, but later on, it will likely become increasingly unsustainable.
......
The Fang family residence during the Republic of China era.
"Have you cultivated your Qi and blood?"
Fang Qi sat in the main seat, watching Jia Si and Jia Nian practice martial arts, his face full of smiles.
He had previously stained the two women's hands with blood before passing on the "Hun Yuan Gong" to them.
The two girls were very determined and practiced diligently every day. Finally, today, they successfully cultivated their Qi and blood.
"We owe it all to your guidance, sir." Jia Si and Jia Nian were extremely grateful.
The master saved their lives, provided them with food and lodging, and now even passed on his profound martial arts skills; they have no way to repay him.
Fang Qi looked at the two of them and remained silent for a moment.
He was pondering whether he should infuse the two women with more male yang energy.
But it's only morning, so let's get down to business first.
"How are Lin Zhan and Lin Zhou's guards doing these days?"
The female assassin from that night was completely destroyed by him, leaving not a trace, yet the Black Dragon Society remained completely silent, which was highly unusual.
"Reporting to Master," Jia Si stepped forward, "the guards are on duty as usual, and there's nothing unusual in the manor. However, Lin Zhan and Lin Zhou often leave the manor late at night to go to the Black Dragon Society."
The two women had protective talismans and detection talismans given to them by Fang Qi, and the mansion was also decorated with many talismans, so they could be aware of any disturbances.
However, they had much less control over the situation outside the manor.
Now that Tianjin is becoming increasingly chaotic, Fang Qi also advises them to stay home as much as possible.
"It seems the Black Dragon Society is more patient than expected."
The fact that the people they sent disappeared without a trace, and that the other side remained unmoved, shows that they are not simple.
However, if the Black Dragon Society doesn't take any action, some things will be difficult to carry out.
Fang Qi pondered for a moment.
"Spread the word that our Fang family has a large sum of money and wants to find a place to invest it."
"Yes."
Jia Si and Jia Nian accepted the order and immediately went to handle the matter.
The two women were diligent in their work, and the news quickly spread within their circle.
That afternoon, many powerful figures came to visit.
People from various walkers, car dealerships, and the Yangtze River Dolphin Association, among other prominent figures from Tianjin, entered the Fang residence.
Even at night, two groups of unidentified people broke in, trying to force a cooperation agreement.
The result, naturally, was that it came in vertically and went out horizontally.
After this incident, the scoundrels in the shadows dared not target the Fang family again.
For the first time, Tianjin residents gained an understanding of the strength of the Fang family, this outsider.
So over the next two days, people who were genuinely interested in discussing cooperation started to visit.
"We became friends after our fight. Mr. Fang, do you still remember me?" Xu Fangjing from Xingyi Quan School was wearing a new white V-neck dress today.
This new outfit combines the beauty of traditional Chinese clothing with Western formal wear, and combined with Xu Fangjing's exceptional figure, it makes her even more elegant.
"Hehe, of course I remember. Miss Xu's personal visit is an honor to my humble abode." Fang Qi waved his hand, and Jia Si brought over hot tea.
"I heard that you have some money you want to invest?" Xu Fangjing gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, her eyes bright and captivating.
"Our Xingyi Quan school operates over twenty martial arts schools and more than ten pharmacies. I wonder if you would be interested, sir?"
Fang Qi stood a silver dollar upright on the table, then gently spun it, and the silver dollar spun rapidly with a "clang clang clang".
"What does your establishment offer...?"
"Liu Yanru of the Green Flame Hall of the Black Dragon Society greets Mr. Fang."
Before the words were finished, a voice drifted in from outside the hall.
A woman wearing a sleeveless, high-slit, light red cheongsam with bare legs stepped across the threshold with great charm, revealing her fair and long legs.
