Chapter 155: Chapter 141: Foundation Establishment Pill Formulas

The third type, Compound Pills, required the consumption of five different pills simultaneously in order to achieve the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill. The five compound pills must encompass the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The quantity and quality of these five types of pills need to be coordinated, and although the Scripture Transmission Jade Plate provided a combination, it also stated that Compound Pills should not be used unless there are no other options.
Of the three types, the first type of Foundation Establishment Pill had the highest probability of successful refinement, and it was the easiest to refine, but the main material was rare. The second type of Foundation Establishment Pill had more readily available main materials, but the chances of successful refinement were lower than the first type, and the refining process was more difficult. As for the third type, the refining difficulty was the easiest, but it took the longest time to refine, and the success rate of establishing the foundation with the resulting Compound Pills was the lowest.
Large sects usually use the first or second method for establishing the foundation, while loose cultivators or those cultivation families who cannot afford Foundation Establishment Pills choose the third method and risk refining Compound Pills for foundation establishment.
Han Yi put down the disposable Scripture Transmission Jade Plate that had lost its efficacy. The contents of this jade plate had been completely imprinted in his mind. With his ninth layer of Qi Cultivation Stage’s Divine Soul memory, as long as he didn’t die, he would not forget it.
“I’ve never seen White Jade Dragon Ganoderma being sold publicly in the sect market. I’ll have to ask He Fangwei if the Nine Dragons Shop has a channel for it.”
“If it’s not available in the sect, I can try to buy it at the Daqian Auction or other shops, such as Immortal Pavilion, but the price will likely be very high.”
“As for the second method, it requires using the Inner Pill of demon cultivators, which is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation of human cultivators. To challenge demon cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage will most likely lead to death.”
“I will not consider the third method for now.”
“Besides the rarity of materials, the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill also requires a strong divine sense, which is not available in the Qi Cultivation Stage. Even if it is possible at the fusion stage, the final step of forming the pill will fail due to insufficient divine sense, which will prevent the pill from congealing.”
“No wonder the Foundation Establishment Pills are so mysterious and expensive. Their main material and difficulty of refinement are beyond the reach of the Qi Cultivation Stage.”
Han Yi sighed but was not discouraged. At least he knew the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Even if he couldn’t refine it now, he would have a chance once he reached the Immortal Path Foundation Building.
In the meantime, while he was in the Qi Cultivation Stage, he would push his Alchemy Skill to its peak. Once he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and his divine sense increased to meet the requirements for refining the pills, he would just need a demon cultivator’s Inner Pill or White Jade Dragon Ganoderma, and he would be ready to start refining.
If successful, each additional Foundation Establishment Pill would greatly increase his wealth.
After learning the secret of the Foundation Establishment Pill and knowing that he would be participating in the Mountain and Sea Gathering of Immortals in the Stars Sea, Han Yi did not immediately start refining pills. Instead, he practiced the Departing Fire Sword Formula.
Among his current skills, the Fire Shield Skill for defense, Spirit Void Finger for attack, Sword Control Skill, and Light Body Technique for agility had all reached the Peak Mastery level.
He examined his other skills, and only the Departing Fire Sword Formula, if it could reach Peak Mastery, would provide the highest increase to his cultivation base.
Thus, Han Yi’s daily routine became practicing the Departing Fire Sword Formula.
However, half a month later, when the Departing Fire Sword Formula was still far from reaching Peak Mastery, Han Yi was notified that he would soon be traveling to the Stars Sea to participate in the Mountain and Sea Gathering of Immortals.
This time, there was no grand ceremony like when they went to the Cave Heaven Trial. He was just informed to go to Xuandan Peak on the following day.
The next day, just like the previous time, Han Yi appeared on Xuandan Peak after stepping through the mist.
Near him, there were already three Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators present. When they saw him appear, they exchanged glances.
A moment later, the fifth Qi Cultivation Stage disciple appeared, and the five of them introduced themselves.
These four were inner disciples of the Xuandan Sect at the Qi Cultivation Peak Realm, three of whom were male cultivators, and the other a female cultivator.
The trio of male cultivators were named Zhao Ruida, Fei Qing, and Su Yan, while the female cultivator was named Shi Lengyan.
Among them, Zhao Ruida, Fei Qing, and Shi Lengyan had participated in the Cave Heaven Trial a few years ago, and they had met Han Yi before. It was Su Yan’s first time meeting Han Yi.
All of them were outstanding members of the Xuandan Sect’s inner disciples. After introducing themselves, they didn’t delve further into conversation, each standing around and waiting.
A moment later, five Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators appeared, including Master Fire Phoenix, who was number one on the Heaven List.
After the ten of them gathered, Supreme Elder Zhuge Wu You came out of the Xuandan Peak Palace, surveyed the group, and gave them some explanations, mainly about the risks and other aspects involved in the upcoming mission.
It was essentially the same information Yuan Shun had given before, and it was clear that the others had also learned the details, as they didn’t seem surprised. Then, the Immortal Boat appeared again.
This boat could change its size, and this time, as there were fewer people, it wasn’t as big as the one that had taken them to Yujing Mountain.
The ten of them boarded the Immortal Boat, which took off into the sky. The mist surrounding Xuandan Peak opened up a gap for the boat to pass through, and then closed up again after the boat had gone.
Their destination: the Stars Sea..
