Chapter 232: Foundation Establishment Pill
In the realm of Space, the five acres of Spiritual Herbs required for the Foundation Establishment Pills had finally ripened.
To refine the Foundation Establishment Pills, one needed a total of 108 different types of Spiritual Herbs36 primary herbs and 72 secondary ones. These herbs matured at different times, yielding a total of 500 Alchemy materials from the five acres of land.
Inside the Alchemy chamber, Wang Hong meticulously organized 100 sets of materials. He arranged the Alchemy Furnace, ignited the Spirit Fire, and began the refining process. He was well-versed in every step of this procedure.
With 30 sets of materials in each batch, after the first batch was done, he obtained 140 Foundation Establishment Pills. The second batch yielded 150 pills, the third 155 pills, and surprisingly, the fourth batch, with only 10 sets of materials, produced 60 pills.
He now had 505 Foundation Establishment Pills in total from the 100 sets of materials, which seemed like a considerable amount. However, he knew that he would likely consume most of them himself.
With his current team, including the ten individuals recruited by Liu Changsheng, he needed to nurture over 60 people to reach the Foundation Building stage. Most of them had poor aptitudes and lacked Spiritual Roots, so the demand for Foundation Establishment Pills would be substantial.
In the future, as his influence expanded and his team grew, the need for Foundation Establishment Pills would only increase.
After experiencing several battles, he realized that in the Cultivation World, Qi Cultivation cultivators were barely qualified even as cannon fodder. To have even a slight foothold and be a significant force in battles, one had to at least reach the Foundation Building stage.
As for selling more Foundation Establishment Pills to the outside world, he currently had no such plans. Selling one or two pills wouldn't make a significant difference for him. If he sold too many, it would attract the attention of various powers, which could be a death sentence.
After collecting the Foundation Establishment Pills, Wang Hong and Little Peng had a meal together and then sent a Transmission Talisman.
It didn't take long for Wen Lan to arrive at his residence.
They sat down at the tea table, and Wang Hong brewed a pot of Qiu Long Tea, which had grown in his own cultivation space. With more than a hundred times the normal growth rate, he now had an ample supply for himself.
"Wen Lan, how many years have you been with me?" Wang Hong casually asked as he took a sip of tea.
"Ten... ten pills? That's so many!"
Wen Lan's hand trembled slightly. Foundation Establishment Pills were usually highly sought after, and people often fought fiercely for just one or two pills.
He had never imagined that he would one day have ten Foundation Establishment Pills.
"Yes, take these for your Foundation Building. But remember, keep it a secret. After you succeed in Foundation Building, return the remaining pills to me, and also share your experience with me. I have some Foundation Building experience recorded here, and I'll give it to you as well."
Wang Hong handed Wen Lan a jade scroll containing his own cultivation experience.
"Thank you, East Master!" Wen Lan deeply bowed and then accepted the jade scroll.
Wen Lan took the Foundation Establishment Pills provided by Wang Hong, returned to his residence, and spent several days meditating to adjust his state of mind and Spiritual Energy to the optimal condition.
Afterward, he left his place and went to South City Street, where he entered an inconspicuous door. This place was where temporary Foundation Building cave mansions were available for rent in Boundary City.
Across from the entrance gate, several teahouses had people peeking out of the windows facing the street, watching this side with curiosity. These individuals were sent by various factions to keep an eye on Foundation Building cultivators, to understand their situation in a timely manner.
If someone from an opposing faction succeeded in Foundation Building here, it would warrant increased vigilance. If an opportunity arose, they might even secretly eliminate them.
For lone cultivators without affiliations, they would try to recruit them into their own factions.
If it was a Disciple from a friendly faction who succeeded in Foundation Building, they would pretend not to have seen and offering congratulations was out of the question.
