I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

"I must establish my foundation as soon as possible.

Only with Foundation Establishment.

After my strength has greatly improved, can I truly be unafraid of these many threats.

What a pity.

The Foundation Establishment Pill Formula, at least won’t be in hand until next month..."

Zhou Changwang pondered, as for finding someone else to inquire, like Chen Xiao’Er? Feng Xue?

Perhaps in the Black Market, there is no lack of pill formulas, and it is highly possible to have the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula.

But if he exposes his intention to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill again, it would be difficult to guarantee how the other party would react.

Perhaps cooperate actively?

Or simply turn hostile?

Directly invite the strong ones behind the Black Market to suppress him? Then lock him up and make him continuously refine pills and talismans?

Seeking the skin of the tiger, if he wasn’t strong enough, it is very likely to be swallowed whole by the tiger.

At this moment, he does not possess the strength to overturn everything.

"For now, all I can do is wait.

Wait for about a month..."

In his mind, Zhou Changwang did not linger in the Black Market any longer.

He had initially planned to take out some spirit pills to auction in the Black Market, but it was obviously not suitable now.

However, before leaving the Black Market, he couldn’t resist going to the task hall and took a glance at the tasks above.

Sure enough, ranked first, was that bounty concerning himself.

The reward of the Foundation Establishment Pill had evidently caught the attention of many cultivators, not just one was murmuring, wanting to set an ambush there.

Any news around Ascendant Feng Hua would stir a wave of fervent inquiries.

Leaving the Black Market.

Zhou Changwang routinely used the Cleaning Technique to cleanse himself.

Even the storage bag he traded with Chen Xiao’Er and the spiritual materials inside, he thoroughly cleaned, confirming there were no Spiritual Qi marks before his figure flashed and vanished from the spot.

After half an hour.

Zhou Changwang took a meandering path, and utilizing the Earth Escape Technique for a portion of the way, he appeared in the Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land.

"Back again.

But it’s not safe yet.

The bounty concerning me, inside and outside the marketplace, has probably spread by now.

I have to make early preparations."

Zhou Changwang first sighed in relief, then furrowed his brows again.

He glanced towards the direction of the marketplace before stepping into the Spirit Land.

Within the Spirit Land, he actually didn’t care much about the Spirit Land itself.

What truly worried him was the various Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects planted in the Spirit Field.

These are vital spiritual materials concerning his Foundation Establishment, and he naturally paid great attention to them.

"Originally planned to let things develop slowly, leveraging the complementary characteristics of various spirit plants to promote their rapid growth, hoping to reduce the consumption of certain Life Spiritual Liquid and Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid.

Now.

Obviously, that won’t work anymore.

I must cultivate each Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object to maturity as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once my identity is truly exposed, and enemies come hunting, these Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects would indeed be a bargain for others."

Looking at the many Third Grade and above spirit plants in the Spirit Field, Zhou Changwang quickly made a decision.

Then he turned his gaze to the spoils of this trip.

Spiritual materials for the Youthful Appearance Pill, more than three hundred portions, for the Jade Flower Pill a bit less, more than two hundred portions, and for the Rejuvenation Pill one hundred and fifty portions.

As for the materials required for the Foundation Condensation Pill, there are only eleven portions in total.

These are the most costly as well.

Calculating at twenty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per portion, eleven portions equal two hundred twenty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Zhou Changwang paid a total of three hundred sixty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and after deducting the twenty thousand for the Nine-Turns Fire Control Technique, those remaining spiritual materials needed one hundred twenty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, Zhou Changwang knew.

The actual price of these spiritual materials far exceeded three hundred sixty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

The other party deliberately lowered the price to do him a favor.

If calculated with market prices, he estimated it would be no less than four or five hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

"With this batch of spiritual materials, I should be able to quickly continue advancing my alchemy techniques.

And subsequently refine the Foundation Condensation Pill.

However, before that, I still need to refine the Nanming Li Fire."

In fact, based on Zhou Changwang’s current level in alchemy.

He could directly begin to comprehend and refine the Foundation Condensation Pill.

But the foundation must be solidified.

The pills he had refined before were all Initial-Tier First Grade and Mid-Tier First Grade Spirit Pills.

The level of alchemy skill was improved based on these low-tier spirit pill formulas.

But he also needed to accumulate experience in refining High-Tier First Grade Spirit Pills.

This had nothing to do with the alchemy skill level.

Already at the Great Success in alchemy, the amount of experience points was no longer crucial.

Anyway, in the short term, he couldn’t advance to the Realm of Perfection.

What he needed was a kind of fulfillment.

A process from low to high in refining various spirit pills.

Initial-Tier First Grade, Mid-Tier First Grade, then High-Tier First Grade.

Skipping directly from Mid-Tier First Grade to Second Grade?

It certainly was feasible, but it would leave him feeling unstable.

Moreover, the higher the grade of spirit pills, the more precious the materials required.

He could not afford to waste them.

A single Foundation Condensation Pill costs twenty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, a Foundation Establishment Pill even more, over thirty thousand.

He only had materials for eleven Foundation Condensation Pills in total, and even if he matured all spiritual materials in the Spirit Field, he only had three for Foundation Establishment Pills.

Of course, a sufficiently solid foundation must be laid to reduce the consumption of corresponding spiritual materials.

Then, Zhou Changwang smoothly took out a Jade Scroll.

"Nine-Turns Fire Control Technique!"

Zhou Changwang’s Spiritual Sense stirred slightly, pouring into the Jade Scroll.

After a while, he returned to his senses.

"This Nine-Turns Fire Control Technique, the principle is actually quite simple. It’s about igniting each Acupoint Skill in a special way. Once these are unblocked, the Spiritual Fire Power can be drawn in, locked within these Acupoint Skills, and continuously forged.
