Chapter 15 Chalcedony Rice Becomes
The sun had just jumped above the horizon, as if it had a smiling face.
Zhang Zhixuan sat on the futon and had already used the Qi Accumulation Technique three times.
Yamashita’s spiritual energy is insufficient. Except after taking the elixir, Zhang Zhixuan usually does not meditate to refine his spiritual energy.
However, every morning, he would practice Qi Accumulation Technique three times.
This spell is very magical. It does not increase mana, nor does it have any magical powers. It only cultivates a mouthful of innate purple air to nourish the Dantian.
Zhang Zhixuan has been practicing Taoism for ten years and has extensive knowledge, but he has never seen a spell with the same principles as Qi Yun.
According to his own understanding, if he practices this spell regularly and strengthens the innate purple energy in his Dantian, when it comes time to build the foundation, he can use this innate purple energy to replace most of the effectiveness of the foundation building pill.
This innate purple energy is gentle and moist, which can warm and nourish the meridians and Dantian during foundation building.
The most dangerous thing when building a foundation is losing control of mana.
When building the foundation, in order to break through the barriers and turn the true essence into a liquid state, the mana runs faster and faster. This violent mana will undoubtedly impact the monk’s meridians and Dantian.
In addition to the effect of removing impurities from the body, the most important effect of the Foundation Building Pill is to delay the rampant magic power, warm and repair the meridians and Dantian of the monks.
Even if the foundation building fails, you can still save your life.
Therefore, it would be extremely dangerous to build a foundation without a foundation-building pill. According to the estimates of ancient monks, on average, only one of thirty monks who build a foundation can survive by chance.
Simply, later monks created the elixir of Foundation Establishment Pill.
Although this kind of elixir is only a third-grade top-grade elixir, its price exceeds that of most fourth-grade elixirs.
Its main medicine requires a chalcedony golden mushroom that is over a thousand years old, and five five hundred-year-old flame fruit, poria, qingling flower, white jade ginseng, and snow lotus as auxiliary medicines.
In addition, twenty elixirs that are about a hundred years old are needed, and a fourth level or above spiritual water is needed for purification.
The chalcedony golden mushroom that is more than a thousand years old is at least a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual herb, and its price exceeds five thousand spiritual stones.
The five 500-year-old elixirs are of higher quality than the fourth level, and the price of each elixir exceeds 2,000.
In addition to the fourth-level spiritual water, there are twenty third-level spiritual grasses that are more than a hundred years old.
To refine a furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills, the price of the elixir is at least 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Not only that, the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pills is also very difficult, and the difficulty is higher than that of most fourth-level spiritual pills.
Only high-level alchemy masters of level four or above can refine foundation-building pills.
It is precisely because of the difficulty of refining Foundation Establishment Pills that even a large sect like Qingxuan Sect can only refine one or two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills every ten years. The number of completed pills can range from five or six pills to no more than twelve or three pills. .
This is true for Qingxuan Sect, not to mention other cultivating families and casual cultivators.
Most of the foundation-building monks from the cultivating families spent a lot of money, and they also had enough connections in Qingxuan Sect to exchange for one or two foundation-building pills.
As for casual cultivators who have a more difficult time surviving, it is basically impossible for them to smell the flavor of Foundation Establishment Pill in their lifetime.
They can only take the risk of building a foundation before the age of sixty, risking the death of an average of thirty ninth-level Qi cultivators before one of them can succeed in building a foundation, fighting for this bloody chance.
“The Qi Accumulating Technique is so miraculous. If you practice hard for more than ten years, when it comes time to build the foundation, it will be able to replace a considerable part of the effectiveness of the foundation building pill.
Unfortunately, my cultivation level is still very low, and my family does not have much power.
Otherwise, once this magic is made public, it will be a situation where children hold money and go to the market. “Looking at the rising sun, Zhang Zhixuan breathed out the last trace of purple energy and thought.
Zhang Zhixuan ended his meditation and glanced at Xiao Qingchan in the room next to him.
Xiao Qingchan was still young and at the age where he was addicted to sleep, so he fell asleep in a daze.
The breeze blows gently, and the emerald green straw sways gently. The straw has already headed, and the white jade-colored rice the size of broad beans has already been filled with grains.
“Lazy girl, get up quickly and eat. The chalcedony rice is ripe today. After dinner, get up quickly and pick the rice.”
The spiritual grass of chalcedony rice is different from ordinary grains. The grains of this kind of rice are not only large but also full. There are only three or five grains of chalcedony rice on each straw.
Because the stalks of spiritual rice are very tough, they can only be cut off with a magic weapon, and the harvesting speed is very slow.
Once the spiritual rice matures, it must be picked within three to five days.
Otherwise, the rice will fall off, and once the chalcedony rice is buried in the ground, it will sprout quickly and become inedible.
Therefore, when chalcedony rice matures, the rice grains need to be picked one by one, just like picking fruits, and the speed is much slower than cutting rice.
Qingchan kicked off the brocade quilt irritably, glanced at Zhang Zhixuan impatiently, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and reluctantly started to get up to eat.
Ever since the little girl Qing Chan started practicing, the chalcedony rice distributed by Zhang Zhixuan was not enough.
The little girl’s spiritual roots are very good, and she can refine her essence and open her meridians very quickly, so she has a larger appetite on weekdays.
Because chalcedony rice is sweet and delicious, and can speed up the cultivation of innate monks, this greedy little girl can no longer eat ordinary rice.
Even if I am hungry every day, I still have to wait for the chalcedony rice to be served before I eat.
The amount of rice for one person is not enough for two people.
Every time towards the end of the month, the allocated chalcedony rice would be eaten up.
In the past two hundred years, the Zhang family has become a gradually declining immortal cultivating family, and the resources provided to the cultivators are not very large.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan’s cultivation speed is faster and his spiritual root qualifications are better, so his family will give him slightly preferential treatment.
Even so, the resources provided by the family are far from enough to support Qingchan’s cultivation in the future.
If he wants to continue practicing normally, Zhang Zhixuan needs to develop other financial resources.
Qingchan got up reluctantly, and the two quickly ate a small bowl of spiritual rice, then cleaned up and started picking spiritual rice.
Qingchan is already born at the fourth level, and her arms have hundreds of kilograms of strength. Although she is small, she can do this kind of work of picking spiritual rice a little faster than Zhang Zhixuan.
