I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 127 - 35: Unexpected Visitor
Chapter 127: Chapter 35: Unexpected Visitor
Lower-grade Spirit Root, without defying fate, a Fake Pill is the limit.
Li Jizhou, with his Middle Grade Spirit Root in this life, naturally has a ten percent success rate for Core Formation. The Evergreen Skill is not mundane, it’s at least Top-Grade, which adds another ten percent. His Qi, Blood, and Divine Soul are all strong, losing no points, giving him a twenty percent chance of success.
Celestial Pure Water is a defying spiritual object for Core Formation in this realm, increasing the success rate by up to fifty percent, which alone almost guarantees a Fake Pill at the very least.
Furthermore, with the assistance of Spirit Medicines like the Crystal Condensing Pill, as long as Li Jizhou solidifies his foundation during the Foundation Establishment Stage and accumulates thoroughly, a complete success rate for Core Formation is assured.
The only thing to plan for is how to improve the quality of the Core Formation from this basis.
After all, even with a complete success rate for Core Formation, there remains the possibility of forming a Fake Pill.
Golden Core is the seed of a Nascent Soul, and the probability of Nascent Soul Formation is higher.
With Li Jizhou’s talent in this life, only by forming a Golden Core can he dare to hope for a Nascent Soul.
“No rush, I have plenty of time!”
Reliant on a lifespan of three hundred and twenty years, at least until two hundred seventy or eighty years, his Qi and Blood will start to decline. As long as Core Formation happens before then, the success rate will not be reduced due to insufficient Qi and Blood.
Calm and focused, no longer aiming too high, Li Jizhou gladly accepted the gifts from Master Qingmu.
About half of the materials for the Crystal Condensing Pill, easing Li Jizhou’s future pressure considerably.
However, besides these items, Master Qingmu might have spent greatly on these Core Formation materials, leaving almost no Spirit Stones.
A little more than a thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones seem unfitting for his status as an elder of the Divine Intent Sect.
Li Jizhou immediately instructed Bai Yi to continue his daily work.
These past two years at the Rong family, although not much was spent, there was also no income.
Assets have severely decreased.
“Push a little harder, soon I’ll swap you for a Top-Grade Flying Ship, making the return journey to the Liang Kingdom quicker, and you’ll be more comfortable.” Li Jizhou sincerely encouraged him before leaving.
Bai Yi was instantly motivated.
In the days that followed,
Li Jizhou immersed himself in cultivation, hoping to enter the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment soon.
Moreover, in his spare time, he hastened to accumulate trump cards for himself.
Given the current situation, his Early Stage of Foundation Establishment realm and Divine Sense barely reach the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment level, allowing him to only draw Tier Two High-Level Talismans,
The high-tier exquisite Talismans pose a threat to Fake Pills.
However, the market seldom sees Tier Two High-Level Talisman materials, often unavailable for purchase with Spirit Stones, during these two years at the Rong family, he managed to exchange Alchemy for a few late Tier Two Demon Beast hides.
This would serve as crucial trump cards for Li Jizhou’s protection.
Besides that, puppets became his utmost focus for study in the coming period.
Though Tier Two puppet materials are expensive, they can still be purchased at Immortal City.
As for Medical Poison, the Spirit-Transforming Powder used a month ago on Master Qingmu in poor condition was the latest research achievement, much improved from the Tier One days, counting as a surprise move.
Two months later,
The Divine Intent Sect announced the extinguished Soul Lamp of Master Qingmu, with his last location of death at the outskirts of Purple Vine Mountain.
Furthermore, the scene evidence led to the conclusion that he probably fell prey to some Tier Two Mid Stage Demon Beast, leaving no remains.
Subsequently, the matter of Master Qingmu gradually faded into the river of time.
Until six months later, inside the Yang family mansion near the Qingshui River, Yang Yutong bitterly cried out.
Seven and a half years had passed since Li Jizhou healed her from the collapse of her Sea of Consciousness.
During these years, she feigned madness and acted foolishly.
Not until six months ago, when news spread of Master Qingmu’s death, did she dare not immediately “recover,” and today, she could finally vent her heartfelt sorrow.
Soon, Yang Yuyan heard and rushed over.
However, in the end, Yang Yutong didn’t mention anything about Master Qingmu, only saying she remembered nothing.
Not until the deep of night did Yang Yutong step up to the tallest pavilion of the Yang family and silently bow in the direction of the Golden Sun Sect.
——
A year later, Li Jizhou slowly finished cultivating.
“Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!”
Thirty-eight years since awakening his Innate Wisdom, stepping into the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment at the age of fifty-four.
Even comparing to the Golden Sun Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples, this speed surpasses many.
In his past life, at fifty-four, he had just built his Foundation, still indebted to the family for worship and owing huge favors to the merchant guild.
Putting resources aside, the most essential difference still lies in the Spirit Root talent.
If in this life he had the lower-grade Spirit Root from the past, even with resources like it’s been until now, reaching his current cultivation would be difficult.
Feeling pleasant, Li Jizhou got up and went to the neighboring pill room.
Upon entering the pill room, three Alchemy Furnaces came into view,
Each Furnace had a small cluster of pale white flame underneath.
Moreover, two puppets, along with a quacking thing, each stationed by a Furnace, timely adding herbs.
“Very good! Keep up!” Li Jizhou nodded with satisfaction.
Half a year ago, Li Jizhou accidentally discovered that ever since Bai Yi swallowed Master Qingmu’s Three Nether Urgent Flame, his flame began to show signs of division.
After communicating with Bai Yi, Li Jizhou found that Bai Yi had acquired the ability of splitting the Three Nether Urgent Flame.
Bai Yi could split into three flame clusters, and the original form could switch freely among them.
This delighted Li Jizhou, and he immediately bought two more Furnaces from Immortal City.
Three Furnaces, only two puppets, so he had the quacker called to take over the task.
The three-pronged approach hugely boosted pill yield.
Li Jizhou’s wealth increased daily.
Considering this, Li Jizhou couldn’t help but think, if Bai Yi could swallow someone’s True Flame with the Nine Nether Urgent Flame, wouldn’t that create nine splits?
However, he quickly dismissed this idea.
Though the market’s “Nine Nether Urgent Flame” cultivation technique is certainly incomplete, it is said inside that Nine Nether Urgent Flame cultivating True Flame could be enough for Divinity Transformation.
Such a level is too far from him.
Shaking off unrealistic thoughts, Li Jizhou walked out leisurely from the cave dwelling.
Intending to buy more puppet materials from Immortal City to replace the quacker.
Using a Tier Two Mid Stage demon beast with special illusion talent as a pill-making tool is somewhat wasted.
Mainly because the peak-top medicinal garden still requires it for watering, fertilizing, and de-pesting.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside the peak.
“Shen has important business to discuss with Pill Master Li!”
“Talisman Master Shen?” Li Jizhou frowned slightly.
Having long suspected connections with the Yu family remnants,
And the Yu family remnants are among those targeted by the three sects’ wanted list.
Also, involving unknown secrets of the Thunder Flame Sect from 800 years ago,
Such matters, Li Jizhou does not wish to be entangled in.
Therefore, he had long decided to sever ties with him.
Eleven years ago, after exchanging a Fixed Face Pill for his Tier Two Talisman legacy, he had no further interactions, why come now?
“Pill Master Li, Shen has already reported to the Golden Sun Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, entering under normal circumstances!” Shen Zian explained loudly when Li Jizhou didn’t activate the Array.
With no option, Li Jizhou activated the Mountain Protection Array, inviting him inside.
“Pill Master Li, long time no see!” Talisman Master Shen greeted enthusiastically, clasping hands.
“Talisman Master Shen, all is well.” Li Jizhou also exchanged pleasantries with a smile.
Though uncertain of Talisman Master Shen’s intentions, Li Jizhou’s mind was already formulating various excuses to decline.
This time, he distinctly sensed Talisman Master Shen’s lifespan situation.
[63/235].
Clearly inconsistent with the real Talisman Master Shen.
The real Talisman Master Shen should have a lifespan of at least seventy years.
However, even before Li Jizhou could figure out a reason to refuse.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the woman before him with no hints of defense, who openly took off a Human Skin Mask…
